Secret Return of Birds
Puzzles Omithologists
Scientists Find This Migration One
Of Natures Greatest Wonders

The return of migratory birds in the
spring is one of the greatest wonders
the ornithologist has to study One
who has been studying them for 20
years has just stated that he has
never been able to observe their actual
arrival
Every4morning when they are due
he goes to the place where they nest
and searches every bush, but there is
none to be seen. Then one day, re-
turning after lunch, they are suddenly
there, and the bushes are thickly IN
habited by the arrivals from the south.
Silently and without a note or visible
sign they descended. Their punctual-
ity, too. is extraordinary. Sea swal-
lows turn UP with the exactnesS OF an
ocean steamer.
The scientist mentioned has record
ed that for three years they have ar
rived in a swarm of 400, on April 70
and Immediately set up an enormous
clamor. 1t is interesting to notice
how the discovery of new protected
site for habitation is noised about
among the birds. Once there were
no sea swallows at this station at all
Then few years ago one pair .nested
there: the next year there were nine
pairs, and the year following again
colony OF more than 800 members
came to settle.

The starting of this school will be
a great help to the city by allowing
Dawson people a course in the school
without the necessary expense incurr-
ed by going to other cities. 1t will al
so bring a number of out-of-town
students to Dawson to take the course.
The time required for the different

CTS GREAT TO BE A
GEORGIAN"
This is my own, nv native 1andl

MS IS my own, my native land!
Truly these words ring louder from
every Georgian; from every boy and
girl, from the hills to the ocean and
from the Chattahoochee to the Savan-
nah than any other state or country
From a colony founded for debtors
we have risen to state founded on
love and honor, whose atmosphere
makes the stranger pause and with
wondering eyes look upon us with
envy for so great state, known
throughout the world for wealth, pa
triotism, power and pride Our state
was not made famous by one man
alone, but each individual of the state
has part in it, that has, or is trying
to do their duty.
Although hardships have pressed
upon US from the beginning we have
not failed to meet them with all the
strength we possessed. When clouds
hang heavy with trouble every man,
woman and child steps forth to give
OF their honor, pride and wealth,
showing the entire world what it
takes to be a patriot Georgia.
To our heroes of the past, we are
proud; to those of the future and to-
day let us take up the duty where
they left it and with unhinching spirit
continue to show the people every
where why it's great to be a Geor-
gian. PAT O'BRIEN.

"WETS" SEEK RECRUITS
IN THE NEXT CONGRESS
beside to Send Sixty New Moist
Members in Office in Autumn.

To elect 90 new wet" members Of
congress, and thereby line up a force
capable of obtaining modification Of
the Volstead act to permit the sale
of light wines and beer-that is the
lob which the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment has laid out
for itself Prospects for success, the
association leaders believe, are ex-
tremely bright

ISOLATION will take no part in the pres
idential battle" says an announce
ment of the scheme. TT will devote
IFS efforts largely to the election OF
congressional candidates who are
friendly to modification OF the Vol
stead act
"A prominent member of congress
during the last session made state
ment that if 60 additional wet con-
,eressmen were elected next Novem-
Der it would then be possible to mod
ifv the Volstead law 1t will be the
effort of the association to Obtain
these 90 votes. We believe that the
voters of the country will send more
than that number to the next congress
to replace 'drys' in the present con-
grcss."

MACHINERY is FAST
DISPLACING LABOR
PRODUCTION RECORDS BEING
MADE AS APPLIANCES TAKE
PLACE OF MAN POWER.

In the last Is years automatic ma
chinery production has increased to
AN almost lnconceivable extent" ac-
cording to the United States patent
office, in announcing the one and one
half millionth patent issued since the
present patent office came into exist
ence
The statement is a thumb-nail
sketch of the social and economic up
heavals machinery has wrought since
1886.
The period from 1886 to 1898, the
statement says, saw more changes
that profoundly affected civilization,
our mode OF living, our health and
progress than any 1000 years pre-
viously. For during this period the
face of the advanced nations of the
earth altered materially, changing pri-
MARTY from cultural to industrial
countries.
During these 81 years an evolution
of profound depth, of far-reaching Ell
feet, was produced. The steam engine
was perfected and its application to
machinery and transportation made eff
fective and universal; the whole art of
electrical generation OF power, its
transmission and utilization, was in
vented and appliedy electrical lighting,
heating and communication establish
ed industrial chemistry became a
force and standard OF industrial
progress. Labor-savlng machinery
impressed itself for the first time gem
era1Iv as universal factor in our in
dustrial life, and the internal-combus-
ton machine, with all its tremendous
w important implications, was de-
veloped and applied.
THE second period, from 1898 to
1911, although being considerably
shorter still produced such far-reach-
ing inventions as the automobile, the
aeroplane and wireless communica-
ton. During this period the inventions
of the first period were consolidated,
refined and more extensively applied,
especially in quantity production by
labor saving devices, the use OF cleo
tricity for power for machinery and
transportation, and the perfection OF
the automobile.
THE era covering the last IS years
is notable mostly for generally inten-
sive pursuit Of improvements partlcu-
larly in the multiplying of the effect
iveness of the laborsaving device,
leading to automatic machinery,
whereby direct application OF manual
labor is almost eliminated and pro-
duction increased to an almost incon-
ceivable extent"

Hardware, Needles, Fish
Hooks, Found in Stomachs
Amazing Are Things Found in Alb
domens of Human Osuiches.

Amazing feats are on record OF peo-
pie who seemingly can swallow any
thing with absolute impunity, who
glory in it, make a mania Of it, and
some who even earn livelihood by
it. Voracious indeed was the appetite
OF the individual who died in the
London hospital few years ago, and
who g1oried in the title of 'the cham
pion ostrich" He had in him 40 pieces
of cork, 80 pieces of tinfoil, 9 pennies,
an iron ring, pieces of leather, a
leather strap nine inches long, a foot
of string with pieces of cork attach
ed. and an immense quantity OF odd
lengths of string, cotton and paper.
Another human ostrich made his
stomach a veritable scrap pile by con-
Stunning more than two pounds OF
broken lamp chimneys, nails, tacks,
screws and tumblers.
A young girl, being disappointed in
love, tried to assuage the pangS OF un-
requited affection by devouring a mis-
cellaneous assortment of pins needles,
hair pins, nails, screws, pieces OF
wood, pieces of iron, rolls of hair
and quantities of rags.
1t was another youthful member OF
the fair sex who, on complaining OF
a severe pain, admitted under pressure
that she had swallowed nail-a nail
factory would have been nearer the
truth! Her stomach was opened, and
in it were found AZ nails, 90 tacks, 9
large brass-headed nails, 3 collar studs,
a needle, safety pin and several good
sized fish hooks.

ANTHRAX NOW TAKING A
BIG TOLL IN MISSISSIPPI
Epidemic Spreads Into rs Counties
Killing Stock and Human Beings.

The federal authorities have taken a
hand in the battle against the anthrax
epidemic that is sweeping Is counties
in the delta region of Mississippi Sen
ator Pat Harrison, in an appeal for
help from the national government,
termed conditions of the epidemic
terrible" State agents are on the
scene. and with them the federal Off
cials are cooperating. The epidemic
has been felt for little more than
month. 1t is reported to be spreading
into Arkansas and Tennessee
A score of persons, 10 in Mississip-
pi alone, have been killed by the dis
ease. Cattle are dying. so fast they
cannot be burned, travel through the
diseased section is dangerous because
of insects carrying the disease, and
drinking water in many places is in
danger of pollution.
About 1000 cattle have been killed,
and many farmers face the prospect
of losing their harvests if they cannot
obtain new animals within the next
few weeks. The situation is said to be
worst in Issaquena county.
