INTERESTED IN EXTENSION

"I am deeply interested in the success of the approaching campaign to put the city ex- tionsion program, and particularly in seeing an issue of $5,000,000 school bonds for which there is such crying need in Birmingham" said Mrs. Matte Ward, clerk of the bankruptcy court.
 During my five years residence in Birming- ham I have hoped that such action would be taken providing for adequate school building and equipment facilities"

BIRMINGHAM WILL VOTE ON
 THE DANCE QUESTION

The city commission declined, by vote of to 2, to pass an ordinance for opening the mu- nicipal dance hall at East Lake, petition bearing the names of more than 1,500 qualified voters has been presented and an election will be called to dec. re this al-important question, on which an outsider would think that the morals and the future of Birmingham de- pended.
 All of the arguments, pro and con, bushels of letters to the editor,' public debates, street versy might have been prevented, mot to speak of the expense and trouble of an election, if the commission had not made mountain out of mole hill.
 The dancing pavilion should have been opened to the public and young people who do not belong to the clubs and cannot dance in hotel bathrooms could have enjoyed themselves under proper supervision. If conditions became such that they were demoralizing then the pa- vion could have been closed.
 As it isi we have wasted much valuable time and made Birmingham ridiculous because mis- directed reformers don't know where or when to stop when they attempt to regulate public morals and interfere with the rights people have to indulge in clean and wholesome recreation. An Oakland, Cal, editor who was tarred and feathered, may we'll ask himself if the west has changed much since the days of the forty niners"?
 As Woodrow Wilson goes to the mat with Senator Jim Reed of Missouri we are forced to conclude that Woodrow is back in politics.

AN INSULT!

From the Pitsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
 A policeman was leading a child along a street in Glasgow in the direction of the police station.
 On the pavement stood a middle-aged moth erly looking woman who gazed at the pair with interest.

BIRDS RECOGNIZE UNIFORM

Seoutmaster John s. Mallette of
Troop of Rayenna, o., tells of sue
eesslul game sanctuary to which his
troop volunteers their services as a
troop good turn, as follows:
stafford game sanctuary is the
property of the Cleveland Worsted
MINIS company. In the development of
water supply for their mills located
In Ravenna il was necessary to ac-
quire about LEGO acres Of land and
about Six miles of right of way. As
engineer of this development | CON
structed six miles of canal diverting
the waters of a creek and conveying
same to two small lakes which we
connected by canals. BY means of a
Jam we raised the level of these lakes
about 20 feet making over 200 acres
Oh water surface. The lakes are about
five miles from Ravenna.
Naturally my boys spend a great
amount of time there. Patrol hikes
every Saturday throughout the year
and overnight hikes ON holidays and
during the summer camp. Two years
ago we leased it all to the state of
ONO as a game sanctuary, and the
task of looking after the refuge fell TO
our troop. The state planted about
2o0 ring-necked pheasants in this
refuge. The troop built approved shell
tiers and feeding huts. During the
winter these hutS are visited every
Saturday and a supply of grain,
falslnS, etc, is placed in them by the
boys. Feeding stations were also
maintained for the quail, of which we
have about six coveys. Last year we
purchased three pairs of mallard
ducks and raised about thirty young
sters. This year the state sent the
troop six more brakes We are put
ting in a pair of English gall ducks
this summer and expect that during
the fall flight we will have 900 wild
ducks to feed instead of the 400 or 500
we had last year. On account of the
feed and protection we had over 100
birds stay until the lakes were COM
pletely frozen over. We have planted
wild rice this year and expect to cut
down our hand-feeding.
"The boy scout uniform is the only
one the birds recognize.
"Of course the song birds have been
taken care of, rather incidentally, it is
true, but they have increased in num-
Der and variety. A pair of cranes
make these lakes their summer home
We secure our proportion of fish from
the state hatcheries and we further
supplement this by protection during
the black bass spawning season"
