SHRUBBERY FOR
BIRDS

Most home gardeners are also friends
Of the birds, excepting, Of course, the
harmful species such as grackles, star
lings and English sparrows. One en-
thusiastic garden writer suggests quite
reasonably that when planting shrub
berry one consider those species which
bear fruits that birds may eat and
suggests species of Cornus, Crataegus.
Eleagnus, Cotoneaster, Euonymus, Loni-
cera, Hex, Mahonia and Viburnurn.
There Is real merit in the suggestion,
especially for those with grounds Of
considerable extent, for after all it Is
not at all a one-sided proposition, for
most of the birds that enjoy these
berries eat their share of insects and
grubs Furthermore, there are some
exceedingly handsome varieties in this
grouping Of species.

BEETLE TRAPS

The green japanese beetle traps that
were placed about the parks and lawns
during the Summer are now so COM
mon as to no longer excite curiosity
save among strangers in the city. Few
people attached any particular signif1-
canoe to the green color Of these traps
other than that the green blended very
we'll with the landscape. Yet Depart
ment Of Agriculture entomologists found
that green color has much to do with
the effectiveness OF the traps During
Q le-day test, for every 100 beetles cap.

Previously department workers had
found that certain doors such As ger

problem Of trapping these insects has
been considerably eimplihed.

THE GARDEN CLUBS

Among local gardeners there Is none
who gives quite as freely and generously
of his time as does Prof. David Lums-
den, who last week supervised the splen-
did orchid show that was staged in the
Willard Hotel by the American Orchid
Society. Possessing wealth Of train
ing, both in the hard school Of prac-
teal experience and in scientific cir
cles, Mr.. Lumsden holds the confidence
of very wide group Of professional
and amateur gardeners and apparently
never cares to betray that trust, for he
may be found addressing the humblest
Of garden clubs one week and the next
addressing notable gathering Of pro-
fessional gardeners such as was as
sembled here in connection with the
orchid show. The community Is for
tunate in having such able and willing
workers in its midst, whose only thought
of recompense is to be Of service TO their
fellowmen.

Fresh attacks on Director Richard

to be borne at the twentieth an

Game and Forest League at the
Lincoln, Oct. 80.
H. H. Evans, Newcastle, league
president and bitter critic Of Lie

alive attacks on the conservation
director in a bulletin to members
today, announcing the state conven-

"F'or more than a decade we have
spent cur time and money in IN

nothing but q tool in the HANDS of
politicians, and our fish and game
rapidly disappearing-all taken out
and practically nothing put back"
said Evans broadside. "Since taking
the bull by the horns and starting
an exposition of the whole affair
we have been threatened with law
suits and political defeat, and our
reply has been and now is that the
sooner the matter is aired in court,
the sooner we will be rid Of Lieber-

was dismissed.
Thereafter was held the scan

Fred Foster Link in
Confession.

Fred Foster, ex-convict, is being
sought today by the state fire mar
shals office as an important link in
the chain of evidence by which
George Coogan, field chief OF the
arson division, hopes to convict two
prominent Washington QndD citi-

According to a confession made
to Coogan by Joe Groves, Vincennes,
Foster aided Groves in firing a
house belonging to Evart Beck,
washington insurance man. The
confession alleges that they were
hired for the job by Harry Billings,
Washington. Both Evart and Bill
lings are under $4,000 bond.
Confession also was obtained from
Oral Carnahan, Vincennes, alleging
Billings hired Groves and himself
to fire a house belonging to- Billings

GREAT HELP IN

That's What A Texas Lady
Says About Black-Draught
After Years Of Use.

An interesting story of how
Thedford's Black Draught h a S

was related recently by Mrs. T. c.
Laws, of 1904 Willow Street, Austin.
Texas. She wrote:
During my childhood, my mother

George. IT is but one Of her annual
visits to England, and she is en-
gagirg her time in usual vacation
pleasures
This time, however. those who
like to think they are in the know,
see more in Ingrid's visit than
mere holiday
But they will be disappointed if
they expected any official conf1rma-
ton of their conjectures, because
even If there were any truth in
thenl-and so far there is not-they
would be denied until the details
of the engagement definitely had
been settled
Yet these royal matchmakers con-
tinue to talk, and it must at least
be said that there is logic in their
conversation
There could be no bar TO such a
marriage on religious grounds, for

princesses in Europe of Protestant
faith.
