cutting Attorney for Hopkins County.
Charles G. Franklin, speaking at a
mass meeting at the Methodist church
here, denounced alleged practices Of
the ku klux khan. He said: 81 have
been told the ku klux khan is in proc
ess of organization in Madisonvi,le
and Hopkins county and that a new
force is coming to the assistance of
the county officials. 1 want to say
right here that such assistance is un
welcome. 1 had rather have one man
In the open, unmasked bold and una
frald, than all the ku klux klaners
that ever banded together to stink
through the darkness Of the night"

Prof. Geo. E. Miller reports them
abundant at Frazee, Minnesota, on
April 80.
One of the duties of the secre-
tary has been to Geek up the reports
received, and question some which
seem doubtful. Sometimes the result
is the correction of an error, at
others a confession of ill founded
suspicion. An report Of crested fly
catcher on April 16, was questioned
but seems to be correct. The writ
err has not seen this bird in the
state. but that it is found here and
might be at that date is proven by
a specimen in the Agricultural Col
lege collection taken at Grafton on
May 8.
Press reports stated that many
dead birds were found in the streets
of Minot after the snow storm two
weeks ago, and that they were iden
titled as Harris sparrows. This
would seem an error as these birds
are not to be expected until about
the second week in May. The lapland
longspur is the bird waich most
commonly meets this fate and they
are not unlike the Harris SPAR "
in general appearance. Dead birds
were reported at jamestown April 8
after storm. 1t would seem that
the longspurs are poor weather pro-
phets.
One set of records which has been
puzzling is that of the rcdhead eG
woodpecker. ThA writer never has
seen these until late IN May, but
reports are received Much earlier
from various places. Some seem not
to realize that woodpccker with
red feathers on it's head is not rec
essarily redheaded woodpccker.
Others have maintained their re-

NORTH DAKOTA BIRD NOTES
By o. A. Stevens Agricultural College Secretary,
State Audubon Society,"

Last weeks forecast of arrivals
was verified promptly in some res
poets at least. On April Goth the
writer saw Il myrtle warbler for.the
first time, two or three white
throated sparrows and heard a
phoebe in the woods near the Red
river. The others mentioned were
not seen, however. he previous day
Il trip to the nearest slough show
ed several wilson snipe and greater
yellowlegs. The snipe had been re-
ported from jamestown on April 10,
Bismarck April %, Kindred April 80,
and both snipe and yellowlcgs from
Power on April 1G.
Another bird seen April 80 was
the cowbrd, also reported from Bis
marck on same day. The sparrow
apparently arrived ahead of the
white throated sparrow, contrary to
expectations, as one was seen on
April q, and was seen at Bismarck
on same date. This may have been
a stray early one but evidently had
come to stay as 1t was singing Wig
orously. Close watch had been kept
for tho white-thr.4ccd. sparrow, but
none were seen Dy the writer I'M

neither common nor conspicuous

On May 9, however, they were

jamestown April 10. This is one Of
our commoncst gulls and one which
is seen much in the fields, frequent

reported from Bismarck April 25.

He was terribly grouchy because
said that you had given that money
to me to furnish our home and that
YOU would be annoyed if | used it

He told me tina: ought to furnish
the whole apartment for Il thousand

little money out of our windfall to

ADVENTUROUS
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

Every soldier in Bing- Bang Land
had to have a new suit after the war,
both wooden ones and tin ones.
And many had to have new arms
and legs and even heads, to say
nothing of plugs Of wood or tin
whore bullet holes showed. The last
battle had been a fierce one and
hardly anyone escaped.
So the Tinker Man assisted by the
Twins, went right to>work in his hos
pital at once.
One by one the soldiers were fin
ished, quite as nice as new, and laid
in neat rows in big cardboard boxes
with bright letters on top.
"Now watch and see what l am
going to do next" said the Tinker
Man, $50 that there will be no more
war in Bing-Bang Land this year,
peace treaties or no peace treaties"
He went to his cupboard and
brought out big ball of strong
Irvine and wrapped each box around
and around and around, tying the
string in hard knots.
eff l had thought about doing
that before, there would have been
no trouble in the first place." he
said "Now for the other things"
And he picked up the damaged
airplanes, the submarine, the tank
and the war balloon.
The Tinker Man hammered and
tapped and soldered and screwed un-
til they were fixed, too. These also
he put in big boxes.
eff you don't need US any more,
/ think we'll be going" said the
Twins. eve must take a message to
the Fairy Queen"
"All right, my dears," said the
Tinker Man. Sand I can't thank you
enough for your help. Give my re-
CARDS to her Royal Highness, please
The Twins promised and left Bling
Band Land at once in their magic
shoes.
If any little boy gets Il box of tin
| soldiers or wooden soldiers next
Christmas, he must not examine
them too closely. Very likely they
have been through the war.
