 The citizen of Leipzig likee pork, and he likes it in big help ings. Next to pigs knuckles, his choice is calves feet. Weiner schnitzel comes in "a bad third, with steak trailing inconspicuous- ly behind.
 An astonishing variety of "hot dogs" so to satisfy the Leip- ziger's appetite, countless thous- ands being consumed daily be- tween long draughts of beer. One of the larger restaurants averages from IS to 20 barrels of beer and 5000 sausages a day. The good burgher is essentially q beer-drinker with little connois. seurship in wines.
 When he orders vegetables, 1t is "Leipziger allerlei," mixture of many vegetables. as it were, thickly> covered with sauce. For hors d'0euvre he orders meat, fish or herring pickled and jellied in brine. His favorite fish is the carp. and he likes, with every thing he eats, phenomena amount of goose fat.
 The guests who can afford more than the single dish of pigs knuckles go in for meals more or less like the following: soup, boiled or peppered carp, goose, hare or venison roasted and with trimmings. The men usually fin ish with cheese. the women with ice cream connections and pas tries.

VIII Establish Abund-

This Region at All

II isn't 1880 yet, and it's several
years past 800, but the government is
taking a census.
They already know how many peo-
pie there are in the United States
that was established in 1920-and the
farmers report regularly on how
many cows, horses, etc, are raised
annually, so the powers that be have
sought and found another source for
delving.
This time il Is the poor birds who
are being picked on Mr.. and Mrs.
Bird and all the little Brides are to
be ca~nvassed, catalogued and carded.
Their addresses will be filed away in
a neat series Of little indexes in
Washington, in order that future gen.
e~rations of this great nation may
know exactly where each bird lived.
when at home, at different times of
she year.
John B. Coffee, local representative
of the state game. fish and oyster
commission. is in receipt of a letter
from W. r. Bell, in charge Of the
division Of biological Investigations
of the bureau Of agriculture at
Washington. seeking Mr.. Coffee's aid
IN the taking of a waterfowl census.
BY waterfowl is means geese,
ducks, swans and coots, the letter eS
plains, and the purpose of the census
is TO establish the abundance, distri-
button and migration Of this specie
of fowl at different times Of the year.
Canada and Mexico are contributing
their bit toward the census.
The reason for the information
quest Is TO aid in conducting the mi
gratory bird treaty with Canada, the
letter stated.
The letter requests that the cen
sus be taken by actual count wher-
ever possible. and where there are
too many birds concentrated for that,
it is asked that an accurate estimate
be made.
The division is establishing volun-
tary observer stations all over the
three countries involved, the letter
stated. each observer working one
day each month, and all working on
the same day.
Mr.. Coffee has declined the Job.
and is looking about for a suitable
substitute for the post, which, be-
cause Of lack Of funds At the present
time. is without compensation, the
