Warblers All Kinds.

Not taking into account the human
beings who are sometimes referred
to as warblers, you will find, on look
ing into a bird book, that there are
many kinds of warblers, ranging
alphabetically all the way from bay
breasted warblers to yellow-rumped
warblers, says the American For
estry association, Washington, which
is conducting the national bird-house
building contest If you had col
lection of them all together they
would take in about all the colors of
the rainbow, yellow, orange, chest
nut black, white, green, gray brown
and other colors with numerous
shades entering into their beautiful
plumage.

Wake, UD, Maine!

(By NJ. w. Burlingame.)
Lives there a man in Maine so dead
He never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native State
I'll do my best to make her great.
Ill rise UP early in the morn
And shout the merits of her corn.
Her berries blue her 'Roostook 'tatoes,
Her apples, and her red tomatoes.
Her Holsters, yea, and toothsome CLAIMS,
Her doushnuts pies, and tender hams.
Oh yes-ln grant this must be true
And yet. I'm feeling ALFRED blue:
Ale market must be far away
4 haven't sold a thing to-day.
And yet--in spite of feeling blue,
Tn hungry, so I'll HE me to
My grocers, for a Western apple,
An Iceland pie, some Greenland scrap
pie.
Wisconsin milk, New York State honey,
And pay for it with good MAINE
money,
And as | eat it I'll exclaim:
i think il is n gol darn shame
That Maine whose products are divine,
Finds farming on swift declines"

Eiu. Tree Emblem of Home.

The tig tree, from earliest times has
been a garden tree cultivated for its.
shade and general usefulness. BE
meath the vine and fig tree Is used
more than once in the Old Testament
to designate home" For centuries
the fruit, fresh or dried, has made
up large part of the food of the ma
tives of Western Asia and Southern
Europe. It's juice is used to make n
drink, and also to dye cloth. It's ieaves
polish ivory, and the bark makes cord.
The sap Of one species is poisonous,
The fig tree, in climates congenial to
It's growth, produces two and some
times three crops of fruit the same
year, on distinct shoots. The trees
grow rapidly from cuttings, and are
opagated by budding, grating and
seeds The large, beautiful leaves are
declduous palmately veined, three-to-
five lobed, wavy-marglned, and some
what rough and leathery.

TABLE MANNERS IN ARABIA
A. Might Reasonably Be Expected,
They Are Primitive In the
Extreme.

Manners vary according to time and
locality, so they say. For instance,
In Arabia young womans table eti-
quette Is judged by the skill with
which she scrapes the dish with her
finger and conveys the results to her
mouth. American relief workers,
writing from Ismid, Turkey, give an
account of family luncheon party Of
a half-dozen Armenian girls who had
been rescued from Arab harems that
Is most enlightening glimpse on man
ners Of the Near East.
ut was during some games we held
that the girls who had been In captiv-
ity among the Arabs acted out the ma
tive customs of their former masters.
They ate without fork or knife or
spoon from common dish placed on
the ground In their midst One girl
showed us how the Arabs eat hot food.
With her finger tips she smeared the
food around the edges Of the plate With
a circular movement, blowing her fin
gers from time to time. When the dish
was well smeared, she scooped up the
food with the same circular movement
and carried 1t into her mouth. She
can eat thick soup thus, and more
quickly than you could with spoon.
The soup running down her wrist was
licked off hurrledly and another SCOOP
full taken, for there was circle Of
girls around the dish, and the slow
ones lose out"

EUGENE CLIFFORD CLossoN.

EUGENE CLIFFORD CLOSSON.
Eugene Clifford, little son of Capt.
and Mrs. Albert Closson, died at his
home on Water street, Sunday morn
ing, from complications following an
operation.
Eugene was born at Bayside, No
vember 16, 1917. He was very
attractive child, beloved by all his
neighbors and playmates. One of his
happiest plans was for attending
school in September, but instead he
has
gone unto that school,
Where he no longer needs our poor
protection,
And Christ Himself doth rule
His parents and little brother Ken
meth are left to mourn his loss, and
also many relatives to whom he was
very dear.
The funeral was held at the home
Tuesday, Rev. Clarence Emery Of
floating. The many beautiful floral
offerings bore testimony of the low
ing sympathy of friends and neigh
bors.

This is "better homes week all

Joined in the movement this year, the
Farm Bureau, through it's home dem
onstration department, enlisting the
cooperation of the board OF trade,
the woman's club and the merchants.
The purpose of this movement Is
to increase the number Of home
owners, to assist and encourage the
home-builders and home-makers to
improve the home environment and
create greater community pride.
Window displays by merchants Is
one of the features of the better
homes campaign in Ellsworth. Many
stores are showing complete ideas
that can be. carried out in any home.
varying from the necessary equip
ment for the home medicine chest and
cleaning closet, to the correctly-set
table, attractive ways of hanging cur
tains and pictures and the girls
clothing budget.
The movement is timely in Ellis
worth, which we believe is on the
verge of a house-building activity
such as it has not known for years.
Desirable rents are scarce and grow
ing scarcer, and few houses are for
sale. Rents, which for years have
been so low in Ellsworth that it was
cheaper to pay rent than to own a
nnint
where the balance is shifted. Last
year saw some new houses built and
this year several are already under
construction and more are contem-
plated The search now is for desir-
able building lots.
Replying to the question, Does it
pay to own your own homer
home owner writes of his own ex-
perience:
Home owning pays financially as
well as in other ways. A home owner
acquires a standing in his neighbor-
hood and community. One becomes
more ambitious to save under the al
tered circumstances, becomes a bit
proud of his possession, takes pride in
Keeping up the property, is interested
in civic and community affairs in a
very real way as a taxpayer direct, and
has a satisfaction that is worth a lot
of money even though it can not be
realized in just that way. My wife and
children have been far happier in their
new environment, and If dad" has had
TO hustle a little harder to meet the
financial obligations, it has done him
good, and he has something very tangi-
Bile to show for it, whereas before the
landlord had it all. The home owner
has a different slant on the problems
and interests of his time, and he gets
that way Just because he is one.

HOMESTEADING IN MOUNTAINS
HAS MANY DIFFICULTIES

We read in the Olathe Criterion of
recent date that two homesteaders
Roy and Oscar Roatcap, experienced
great difficulty in getting to their
homesteads in the Cimarron country
not long ago. These men were COM
PEELED by ruling of the Land Office to
establish their residence on the claims
in order TO hold them.
There are scores of homesteaders in
the mountain districts who are expert
encing the same situation. OF course,
it is sometimes possible to get an ex-
tension of time if it can be proved that
the climatic condition is such as TO
make residence impossible. However,
it is always safer to actually reside on
the land for the required period of
time
The homesteader in Colorado is still
a person of the pioneer type and must
necessarily be of the rugged outdoor
build, as the districts where home
steads are To be had are remote and as
a rule are situated many miles from
the main roads.
The present tendency Of those with
the authority Us to where money is TO
be spent on roads seems to be that of
eentering all money expenditures on
the main roads without taking into
consideration the outlying districts.
However, the officials should remem-
ber that the homesteader of today will
be the ranchman Of tomorrow, with
considerable additional property for
the county to derive revenue from il
given little encouragement and help
in the way of road construction. This
does not necessarily have to be in pork
barnei amounts, but few dollars,
judiciously expended, would be good
investment

STAY BY COLORADO IF
YOU WANT COLORADO
TO DO REST FOR YOU

Property owners in Colorado who
are selling ranches at a sacrifice and
preparing to remove to California or
some other state are making a SER
ious mistake, in the opinion of the
Pueblo Chieftain, which says:
It is true that people in some parts
of Colorado have been hard hit by
over production, lack Of transporta-
ton, inadequate markets or for some
other general or local reason. But
in spite Of all these things, the busi-
ness prospects and opportunities in
Colorado at present are just as good
as they are in any other state.
When prices are low it is the time
to buy, and not to sell, for it is the
buyer and not the seller who profits
from such conditions.
Il Is just as true now as it ever was
that there is no more certain invest
ment than that in irrigated lands in
COLORADO and the same is true of city
property in well-located towns depend
ent on Colorado's mineral, agricultural,
and manufacturing resources, or fav-
orably located as commercial centers.

Dear Sir:-I have read with pleasure
the articles printed in your paper con-
g.rUing chickens. have just read the
two letters of the Mrs. Englands' with
interest, so viii send this in.
January &, 1917, we bought five
hens and purebred Buff Orpington
rOoster, paying $6.25 for them. One
hen died ten days after. The first
year, the hens laid l37 eggs on the
average.
Three hens set twice, and one once.
We hatchcd 2S pullets and % cockerels.
The first year we got 6S l-3 dozen
cgs; the second year, 2S2 dozen. The
third year we had fifty hens and got
i20 2-3 dozen eggs and the fourth
year we got 429is dozen. The fifth
year we only kept record for eight
months and got 1886 dozen. Last year
we had 26 hens and got 237 dozen. In
January we got dozen; February,
X dozen; March, 27ia dozen; April,
36 dozen; May 263 dozen; June, %
dozen; July, 22Ia dozen; August, 80
dozen; September, % 1-3 dozen; Ocio-
Der, Is dozen; November, 3 dozen; De-
cember, 5 dozen.
leaving oui Tic HloilHs III "IiCa
We did not keep u record, in five years
and five months we have had 1,772 y
dozen eggs, and raised l59 chickens.
The money obtained amounted to
sl.l0l.23. The feed came to S5S4.6S,
which left clear profit of s5l6.55. Of
course, We have had infertile eggs and
chickens die, or We would have done
better.
We prefer the Orpington chickens.
They mature soon and begin to lay
at from five to seven months of age.
Recently we bought purebred 200
