Yakanik Bird Described
 As Efficient Sheep Herder

HUSUM, Wash, Mar. "A South American bird, called the yakamik, is just as efficient a sheep herder as the collie, declares August Boeller, owner of large flocks near here. A cousin shipped two young yak amiks to Boeller last summer from Venezuela, and now that they have matured they are inseparable from the sheep. They are sort of crane, long domesticated, and show marked faithfulness and intelli- ence regarding sheep herding. During the day the long-legged birds wobble around the edge of the sheep bands, remaining with them until darkness falls. Then they seek high roasting places Like geese, these cranes eat forage along with the sheep. They will attack eagles, coy otes and foxes, beating them off with their powerful wings. They disdain dogs and have kept Boeller's
 collies in a state of fear for weeks.

SEEKS PROVING TOBE MENACET
 COUNTRY MAIDS
OKLAHOMA GIRLS ARE LURED BY FALSE PROMISES OF FORMER
 WAR HEROES"

ENID, Okla, March 4.-Sheiks who have good fronts, glib tongues and a rare capacity for making promises are becoming a real menace to unso- phisticated and credulous country maidens in Northern Oklahoma, ac- cording to Mrs. Frances Brawner, the superintendent of the Associated Charities at Enid, who has warned the parents of rural girls to cultivate a skeptical attitude toward all dashing returned war heroes" as we'll as oth- CT un-recommended strangers seeking their acquaintance.
 Mrs. Brawner's attention was drawn to the ''sheik menace" by the experi- ence of Miss Anna Slater, an 1S-year old Kansas girl, who succumbed to the irresponsible lovemaking of man posing as a war hero ill her. home town six months ago, only to discover upon her arrival in Enid, the city where he said his wealthy parents resided, that Prince Charming was too tender hearted even to kill a chicken, much less fight the Germans. The finish ing touches were added to her disil- lusionment when she learned he had a wife and two children living, and was a dope fiend" in addition.
 The girl said she last saw her TO- mantle lover at Jet, two weeks ago. Meanwhile she heard he was in jail at Enid, and started afoot from Jet to comfort him. The love-sick Juliet insisted upon viewing all the prison CTS in the county jail, a privilege the sheriff granted her. The quest prov ed futile. however, and penniless she poured her tale of woe to Mrs Braw- ner. The latter purchased a ticket to the girls home town.

The gang first be- came notorious through their rob- bery of Santa Fe train in 1891 at Red Rock From then on the boy conducted reign of terror over Oklahoma and Southern Kan sas, which did not end until the gang was virtually wiped out in a raid on two banks in COffeyville, Kan, year or two later. In this raid, Emmett was captured, Grat and Boy were killed.

En- melt served time in the Federal penitentiary and then went straight" He is in the motion-pic- ture theater business in Missouri.

Nothing has done more to crystalliZe

Spring than the meeting that closed
today.
Delegates Enthusiastic.
Attending it's sessions were park

day afternoon, not a single speaker,
including several from North Carolina
and Tennessee, the seat of the other

national park, failed to express
amaZement that a spot of such un-
surpassed beauty and wildness in
such extensive quantities could have
existed so long close to the Nation s
centers oil industry without having
been spoiled by the encroachment of
commercial enterprises. Enthusiasm
in favor of both this area and the
one in Tennessee is overwhelming.
