Common House Mouse
Lifts Voice in Sons

A musical mouse is the astonishing
animal described by DR.. Edwin b.
Powers of the University Of Nebraska
in the Journal Of Mammaiosy. DR.
II. A. Morgan. a friend Of his. was
bothered for three or four nights last
spring by singing noise which for a
time was attributed to a leaky radia-
tor valve. Doctor Morgan began to
search for the source Of the noise and
found that ii was not coming from the
radiator, but from waste paper bas-
ket. Upon shaking the basket a
mouse ran out and Doctor Morgan
gave chase. The mouse ran into a
small room from which there was no
escape.
As soon as the chase was stopped,
the mouse would sit up on its launches
and sing, the singing approximating
%he noise made by the cricket, but
much more continuous For 10 or Is
minutes before the mouse was cap
tured it was in open space and under
constant observation: and every time
it came to rest this singing took place,
even under the excitement of the
chase. The mouse was turned over to
a naturalist who identified it as the
common variety Of house mouse.

There is no carving anywhere in

Berkshire mountains This carving pac-
lures a white horse galioping. The
horse is 374 feet long and the carving
covers two acres of space The origin
Is IN doubt. Tag tradition is that it
commentaries the victory of King
Bthelred and his brother Alfred latter
ward Alfred the GreaD over the Danes
at Ashdown, 81, near White Horse
hill. The preservation Of the memorial
is due to a ceremony of the securing

last in 1851 was written by Thomas

Georgia Will Observe
American Forest Week

Atlanta, Ga.-Atlanta and Georgia,
along with other Southern states, are
making plans to observe American
Forest Week April 1924 inclusive.
Itsc purpose is to encourage preser-
walton of forest wealth and the re-
storation of forests that have been
destroyed by wastefulness and the
elements of fire and storm.
An international aspect to this
years American Forest Week, it was
pointed out here today, is furnished
by the reference of President Cool
idge to the action of the Canadian
Government which likewise issued
a proclamation designating Canada's
annual forest week for April 1924,
thus unifying the efforts of the two
countries.
The observance of forest week is
directed by the American Forest
Week committee, a federation of
nearly 100 Organizations of which
Hon. Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois, is
chairman. Local forest week COM
mittees are being formed in each of
the 48 states and Alaska.

Wor That Made History

The Peloponnesian war was the ia
nous struggle between Athens and
Sparta, with their respective allies,
for the control of Greece. The war
lasted q years, or from 431 to 404 Z.
G., and resulted IN the complete over
throw Of the Athenian ascendancy.
After several crushing defeats on land
and sea, the Athenians surrendered
their city and the war came to an end.
Three reasons were given for the de-
feat of Athens, the early death Of
Periclesh; the foolish attempt Of Ath-
ems To- conquer Sicily; and the accept
ance of Persian gold by Sparta The
history of the war was told by
Thucydides.-Kansas City Star.

Best to Be Sure
About Seed Cor1
Corn Not Out of Field Be-

Prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural
Seed corn for 1925 planting offers
an interesting contrast to that for
last year, says the United States De
partment Of Agriculture. From the
standpoint Of maturing corn. the sam
mer Of 1924 was enc of the poorest In
many years. As a consequence there
was every Indication that there would
not be enough seed corn to go around
In the spring Of 1925. An active CAM
paign by the agricultural experiment
station and the federal Department
of Agriculture, aided by realization OF
the very evident danger. resulted In
more seed corn being field selected
and dried than ever before. Finally
unusually favorable weather during
September and October permitted
much corn to dry in the field without
being damaged for seed purposes.
Therefore an abundance of good seed
corn was available for planting Ia
1925.
Seed Corn Situation.
In contrast, the summer of 1928 was
unusually favorable for the rapid de-
velopment of corn. The crop went
into September in excellent condition
and the prospects for seed corn were
the best. Field selection of seed Germ
was put off in many cases because OF
these facts and early freezes occurred
before many farmers had seiectes
their seed. These conditions have con
tributed to prospective seed corn
situation next spring which. Will!

In Iowa, for example, the tempera
ture during the last week in October
was low, zero weather occurring over
more than half of the state. Corn con
tanning more than 20 per cent Of moiS

subjected to such temperatures. Con,

South's Prosperity

Atlanta. Ga.-There is reason
for the optimism prevailing in the
South and elsewhere about the South
and its future, according to Georgia
business men who discussed the situa-
ton here today with representative
of this news service.
In reality there are two reasons,
one local-the prosperity prevailing
generally in the South-the other
more evident to outsiders-the re-
markable progress being made in the
South. This latter reason is found in
the development of the South's re-
sources, in it's growth in population,
and it's progress in agriculture, in
dustry and finance.
"People in the South know their
part of the country is all right and is
likely to continue all right because
they can see on every hand the evil
dences of a substantial prosperity,

Montgomery Challenge
Boosts Numbered Coins

Monroe, Ga, March 15.-The city
of Montgomery, fine and historic cap
ital of the great state Of Alabama,
has provoked new interest in the sale
of Stone Mountain Memorial special
numbered coins by launching a con-
test in which the twelve other capital
cities of the South are privileged to
participate.
The city of Montgomery, through
its progressive mayor, has issued d
challenge to the twelve other capitals
that, according to population, it will
secure the largest subscription for its
special numbered coin, and invites
them to a Showdown"
Already the gauntlet has been pick
ed up by several of the Southern cap
itals, and the contest is on in real
earnest, the friendly rivary serving
TO spur each to it's greatest effort.
The outcome will be awaited with the
greatest interest.
Mayors Of Georgia who have not
yet disposed of the special numbered
coin allotted to their town are urged
to immediately complete the canvass
and forward the proceeds to head
quarters The Memorial officials have
been highly gratified at the interest
manifested in this drive and are very
grateful for the whole-hearted coop
Grafton extended in so many places.
The amounts subscribed to special
numbered Memorial Coins in Georgia
have ranged all the way from $500
to 1000. some small towns in the
drought area raising from $40 to $50
each.
The records of these sales and
those Of the regular Memorial Coin
are now being made up and the pages
are lumnant with the achievements
of many Georgia communities. How
reads the record of your town, and
will it be matter of pride and sat
isfaction to your posterity?
