Canada geese were reported Mt Bis

and Darlington March 25. Mallard
and pintail ducks, also three kinds OF
hawks made their appearance at Car
rington April 4.
Reports and rumors of robins be-
gan to arrive irregularly but quite
few of the birds reached Fargo by
April 6. The killdeers made their
appearance about the same time. On
that date the writer was surprised
to see a mourning dove, several days
earlier than he had recorded them
in previous years.
Probably it was an early wandercr
from its companions like some of the
earliest robins and meadow larks.
Reference was made last week to
the large numbers Of robins delayed
here in 1920. This year n similar
the middle Of February.
Interesting bird reports have been
received from Oklahoma, Kansas
(south centraD and Nebraska tLin-
coln). Martins had reached Okla

wrens and chipping sparrows we're
recorded, on March q and % from
Kansas but not mentioned from Ne
braska. The killdccr was seen Feb
ruary 26 and March % at these two
places, the mourning dove March q
and 81. Quite few of the birds seen

winter in that region, while early
arrivals from farther south appear a
month or so earlier there than here.

Bird Notes
BY O. A. STEVENS

Fargo, N. D., April 15.-The last
weekend brought more favorable
weather and the first wave Of migra-
ton. On the morning of April 3
the writer stepped from his door and
saw small bird fly from the ground
into tree, showing a pair of white
tail feathers as it flew. "Ah, a
junco,' said the writer to himself.
A moment later the familiar trill
of the junco sounded from the gar
den where several were hunting fol-
their breakfast of seeds. A short
trip showed that they were present
in considerable numbers but no 9th.
CT arrivals were seen.
Slate-colored junco is their full
and proper name although in the
central states where they are fount
in winter they often are called
Snow bird or BLACK snow bird tt
distinguish them from the white
snow bunting. They are easily rec
ognized by their sfate-colored heads
and backs, their white breasts, bill'
and outer tail feathers.
In summer they inhabit the forest
ed portion of Canada and southwark
into the' eastern states as far a
Pennsylvania in the, mountains. II
winter they are found through mos
of the United States east of tn
Rocky mountains. In the Rock,
mountains and westward severa
slightly different forms occur.
Other reports of the junco wer
received from Bismarck and Flaxto
where they were seem April 4, ais
jamestown April 3. Along wit
them one finds very commonly tn
tree sparrows. These were first seel
at Bismarck on April l, and Farg
April A. Mrs. Guest reports seein
a few at Jamestown on January {
February IL and 81, so it seems tina
some of them remained in the stat
the past winter.
Reports on other early arrival
have been somewhat scattering

A FRIEND AT COURT

In an address delivered the other
day at Manche ester, England. the
American ambassador Frank b.
Kellogg, expressed the hope that
in the not distant future Canada
and the United States together
would build a st. Lawrence river
canal, enabling ocean-going YES
sells to go from Manchester to the
interior of the United States. He
said that the growth of civilization
had followed great lines of water
transportation.
Under the plans proposed Great
Britain will not participate in the
building of the St. Lawrence ca
nal. That enterprise will be spon-
sored solely by the United States
and Canada. These two countries
will bear the entire cost OF the en-
terprise, and will themselves share
its immediate, benefits. Neverthe-
less, the extension Of water routes
is of interest to the whole world
and it will do no harm for the pro
ject to have a friend at court IL
the person of Ambassador Kellogg
or to have the sympathetic inter
est of the British people.
The people Of Manchester know
something about the value OF ca
nal. Their great canal from Liver
pool HAS been of inestimable benc
fit to them and has contributes
immensely to the building of thei
. city. While that canal was in it
speculative stage it was opposed b
great many people, on ground
quite similar to those which ar
urged against the st. Lawrence i'm
provement. The canal has prove
its worth. and nobody hears OF tn
objections now. 1t may be sem
- consolation to the people OF Me-
York, who are about the only oil
jectors remaining in this countr.
to observe that while Liverpool OF
posed the Manchester canal, o
practically the same grounds o
which they oppose the st. Law
. renee project, namely, fear th;
r their own port would suffer, Lii

O SANCTA SIMPLICITAS!

When John Huss was bound to the
stake at Constance, in 1414 to be
burned at hereto, he saw, just be-
fore the fire was lighted, an old,
bent woman bringing bundle of
twigs to be put on the fire. AS she
laid down her little burden, he'eallcd
out: 20 Sancta Simplicitas.' ~
These words came to my mind the
other day when a certain chain letter
prayer came to my home. That peo-
pie in our time, can be so ignorant
as to spend time, paper and stamps
on such twaddle as these chain let
ters contain, does not speak we'll for
their religious training, to say moth
ing Of intelligence.
The prayer. so the sender states,
was sent in the time of Jesus, and
destined to 60 around the world"
AS it has only reached Bismarck as
yet; it must have been sent by" tha
wandering jew" who put it i'm his
ovcrcoat pocket and forgot it,ljust
as men do today with their wives
| letters.
But this letter not only contains a
prayer, but also a yelled threat. 1t
states that those that passed it by.
met misfortune" All, have it! 1t
is not threat at all, nor will any
harm come to any one who passes 1t
by" but just the reverse. The ig-
norant superstitious sender of these
letters have misunderstood this SEN
tcnce entirely. The correct render
ing must be this: Those that passed
it by met Miss Fortune"
Now am going to follow, instruc-
tions just as given: Wait 10 days
and see what happens" / bet I'll
meet Miss Fortune a pocket
full of chain letter prayers!

LITTLE STRAIGHT THINKING

The ups and downs OF the pro-
longed Investigation at Washington
have left many people much con-
fused. 1t is hard for the ordinary
man in the face of the conflicting
evidence to keep his mind clear.
And he is not helped by some or
the public instructors who set out
to enlighten him. They tell him
that he ought to be filled with
consuming Indignation against
every man in official life whose
name has been brought under sus-
picion. II he objects that the proof
is not satisfactory, that discredlt-
ed and unbelievable witnesses
have been allowed to pour out
their tales before the Senatorial
committee, then these moral guides
turn upon him and say: so you
are willing to condone fraud. lou
approve of a Government that is
corrupt vet contented. You object
to the uncovering of malfeasance
and crime in our public life, be-
cause you fear it will hurt bust
ness. You have no word of con-
domination for bribe-takers and
corrriptionists.'
This sort bf outcry. however well
meant, does a great injustice 10
the American people. 1t assumes
| that because they do not stand up
and take an oath every day they
are against bribery of public al
fairs. therefore they secretly favor
! it and regret the exposure of the
men guilty of it. But in fact they
are not such fools or hypocrites as
to believe it necessary TO keep on
fnIoclaiming the fact that they
are on the side of virtue and
against all forms Of crime. They
consider that. this goes without
saying. Why ask them to shout
every day from the housetops that
they hate crookedness in office?
OF course they hate it. They are
always ready to do everything in
their power to drive scoundrels
out of public life. But they do not
feel called upon continually to adj
vertise that fact 1t is one of the
things which they think that all
decent people agree about. but
which decent people do not parade
