SHOOT THE CROWS.
EDITOR OF JOURNAL:

EDITOR OF JOURNAL:
In the interest of the protection
of game and useful birds in our
vicinity, will ask the spertsmen and
farmers of our neighborhood to take
action in trying to lessen the number
Of crows. These predatory robbers
should be shot whenever the oppor-
tunity arises at this season of the
year. The nesting season for game
and useful birds is now coming on
and it is at this time that the crow
beats through the fields and woods
seeking out their nests and destroy
ing their eggs and young. Game
commissioners Of thirty-egiht states
in the Union have found that the
crow is the worst enemy of game and
useful birds which flies. In some
places crows have picked out the eyes
Of lambs and young calves and also
destroyed vast quantities of poultry,
eggs and young chicks.
The crow is increasing in numbers
in many parts of the country. He
hunts all the time, like other killers,
but he is especially destructive when
birds are nesting. Some species of
crows have been known to wipe out
whole colonies of game birds in GER
tain localities.
1t would be one of the best things
possible for the game of this neigh
borhood, if sportsmen and farmers
would devote some of their time al
this season of the year to shooting
crows and thus lessening their
numbers.
Yours yer truly,

Plain Durplings by
an Imperial Decree

Unhappy Austria has too recently
emerged from the dread shadow Of
famine for any Austrian not utterly
callous or frivolous to regard whole
some food Of any kind with contempt
But 1t was not always so. Nearly q
hundred years ago when tourists from
America were rare-so we learn from
the "reminiscences Of an Idler"-an
American visiting Vienna found every
one laughing at the latest within Of the
Emperor Ferdinand, who was an ami
able and thick-witted monarch, deeply
interested in petty and personal mat
tiers and not In the least interested in
large and national affairs.
Hunting not long before in the Sly
rian mountains, Ferdinand and his at.
tendants were overtaken by violent
thunderstorm and found refuge In the
nearest farm house, the occupants Of
which were about to dine. The good
natured emperor ordered them to pro-
coed with their meal, and presently,

dropped in a vegetable broth. but they
were well-havored, hot and feathery
light; and when the proud farmers
wife served him he not only ate his
trial dumping with gusto but passed
his plate for another and yet another.
In fact. his equerries and courtiers had
never seen him display such an appe-
tite. That was all very well as part Of
passing adventure. but when, on re-
turning to the palace, he ordered the
cooks to produce the same sort Of
dumplings daily as a regular part Of
the imperial dinner, there was wide
spread dismay. The empress was
mortified; the courtiers were shocked.
the cooks were indignant; the grand
chamberlain demonstrated, and the
court physician was induced to declare
that dumplings were ruinous to any
except peasant digestions and must be
given up. But to the general ast0nish.
ment the emperor, who usually was
docile and easy-going, absolutely re-
fused to surrender his new fancy. He

periall He brought down his fist with
a bang and cried:

Naturally he had his .dumplings. But
the phrase became common by-word.
Any one who insisted upon silly
within Of any kind was sure to hear
some one quote mockingly for his
benefit, Emperor am, and dumplings

Ferdinand was not the only emperor
who was partial to plebeian foods;
Napoleon I delighted In onion soup,
and Napoleon II many times drove his
chef to the verge Of resigning his po-
sition By demanding that boiled cab
bage be served with partridge, The
French emperors however, concerned
themselves with many other matters
quite outside the range of palace and
kitchen. 1t might have been as well
for the world If they had stuck to
dumplings.-Youth's Companion.

Continuous Service Exceptional In

Continuous telephone service avail
able at any hour Of the day or night,
every day in the year, is the general
practice in the United States, and in
ability to have such service always

venient to the average American. In
most foreign countries, however, it
Is taken for granted, except in the
larger cities, that only at certain
hours in the daytime is it possible to
use the telephone.
In Australia, for example, where the
telephones and telegraphs are OPP

ten per cent. of the telephone ex-

10 per cent. of the total telephone
exchanges in Australia net over nine
hours of telephone service is rendered
even on week days. In fact, at many
Australian exchanges service is given
for only eight hours a day during the
week, and not at all on Sundays.

Gales ~Inaugurated
. LUTARCO E. L took up the reins of of power i

u LUTARCO E. GALES took up the reins Of of power in Mex
i leo on December l. He was the first man since the autocratlc
rule of Porfirio Diaz to ascend to the presidency Of the great re-
public without recourse to arms OF intrigue. The peaceful revolu-
ton staged by ObregOn came nearest to 1T, but in his case there
was a revolt against the powers that be. Gales went before the
electorate and gained the presidency through votes.
His election and Inauguration under such suspicious conditions
gives a hope that is almost a promise that the days of trife and
revolt are at an end. Gales has the best wishes of every Amer
lean. He has promised a square deal for foreign capital and that
is all that any foreign corporation should ask.
His ascension to the presidency is a tribute not only to his
own popularity and worth, but to the man whom he succeeded
Alvaro Obregon. Obregon came in q conqueror, having led to
success a bloodless revolution against Carranza, himself a revo-
lutionist. But Obregon was a patriot. He sought no personal gain.
Instead, he has worked constantly to restore Mexico to life under
the protection and guidance of its constitution. In this he has
been successful, and now Gales is to carry on.
Mexico is rich in resources-especialy rich in raw materials.
1t has great possibilities agriculturaly; its mountains TEEN with
the wealth that is in metals its tropical regions offer fruits and
rare woods. No section of the world can boast of more varied re-
sources, and it only remains for development along peaceful lines.
Here the foreigner can help; for he has the money that is needed
to develop.
The Herald extends to Gales and his people the best wishes
of the border and Texas, and predicts that if the policies hereto
fore announced are carried out, great progress will be made dur
ing his administration.
