ArbOr and Bird Day

HAY first has been officially declared Arbor and
MI Bird Day. Forest conservation week is from
April % to May 1. What dull country this
would be if it not for the trees grass and birds
They much taken for granted that scarcely
thought is given them for protection propagation
The early settlers realized the Importance of trees
and careful in planting and caring for them. Not
today. Did you pause to reflect upon trees
memorials? But they monuments to the pioneers
who helped lay the foundation of this community and
the state. Nothing cold and impersonal about trees
bufeted about by every wind that blows. Monuments
these but of living growth
Trees the homes of feathery songsters.
And what joy it to all to hear the birds of spring
back from the SOUTH chrpng happily they go about
building nests in the swinging boughs. No finer piece
of work could be encouraged than the building of bird
houses. To appreciate things of nature the living
habits of Birds and something of their usefulness boys
and girls should be encouraged in this respect

High Hat Prisoners
~ HERIFF Zacharias has social problem on his
hands at the Sibley county jail Naturally one
would think prisoners all alike inside the
bars, but he finds the class distinction in force:
Booteggers distilers, purveyors of moonshine
alcohol and homebrew do not belong to one common
Glass; but recruited from all ranks of society The
elite Of the liquor racket who have acquired the ven
of their class, expensive tailor made clothes
and accustomed to silk underthings look upon with
disdan the unpublished country YOUTH and the crude
truck driver from the small town.
Some of the Sibley prisoners do not unbend suf-
fcienty to recognize the sheriff social equal and
extremely bored with their fellow mates. Liquor
volators from the cities brought down the Gay
lord lookup. All kinds of characters represented
cross section of any state prison will show re-
personalities from all classes trades and professions
But with the discipline and labor required it does not
take long to get class distinction out of their heads
and that they all of one brand Confinement in a
county Jail does not make this impression. Put them
to work crushing stones building road BEDS and they
will soon forget being high hat"

Public Responsiveness
THAT conditions in the drouth area were bad was
generally conceded, but to many of reports
from time to time as to its seriousness seemed
Incredible Possibly the response to the appeals Of the
Red Cross successful because of the dramatzed
publicity most newspaper gave Arkansas. But the
situation in this region is not to be minimized.
Everything considered perhaps it has its compen-
sating effects. Public responsiveness seems to be
feeble unless exaggerated appeals are made. There
are SO many things demanded of the people that
binary appeals go unheeded.
AS result the Red Cross taking matters into its
hand it may bring about much needed reform in the
economic system prevalent with plantation owners.
That is the granting to tenants certain privileges
hereto denied.

M'ALLEN HAS
LARGE SQUAD
Karam, All-Valley Tackle,
Likely To Play In
Backfield
(Bv Staff correspondent

o@AA& WI
McALLEN. Sept. i7.-With a
week OF work behind them and all
the boys back into the fold. the
McAllen Bulldogs are grinding
away in mid-season form.
The final count finds al" Weir
with over 40 squad members. That
Is the largest turnout ct McAllen
high in full many a moor. Most
Of the boys are youngsters without
experience but Weir, experienced
with juniors, knows how to bring
them along quickly.
Weir has begun a series OF
scrimmages whcih Is drawing IA
vorable comment from many fans
In the city md he expects TO have
three or four practice games with
nearby towns before the opening
schedule.
The first game will find weir's
charges paying their respects to
John Reagan at Houston.
Although nothing definite can be
told about the team as yet, II
looks as IL George Karam. ALI
Valley tackle last year, will be
shifted to one OF the back positions
his season. George Is a hard work
ing lad, rather green about the
DRekfield, but ne is willing and
should be going good before the
season Is over.
Assisting Karam will probably
be Freddy Webb, a young half
who played part OF last season. The
two other backfield posts r IN
decided. He's searching for a punt
er and passer for these jobs.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. IL. t9Pl-The

for.

SURVEYOR ESCAPES
IN FALL FROM BOAT
Calls for Help Bring Rescue to Man
Plunged Into Eastern Branch
Near Benning.

Ernest Barnes, 80 years old, sur
veyor for the United States Engineering
Department, narrowly escaped drown
ing today when he fell from a small
motor boat into the Eastern Branch,
near Benning Bridge.
Although he is said to be able to
swim he was unable to make his way
back to the boat, and was on the
verge of Inconsistencies when his calls
for help were heard by Arthur Jones,
"a, of 676 Fourth street northeast, and
Robert Newman, %, of 1907 Water
street southwest They rowed out In
to the river and pulled Barnes into the
boat.
Police of the ninth precinct were
summoned, and Barnes, who lives at
1862 Avon place, was taken to Emer-
gency Hospital. Physicians at the In
stitution said he was suffering from
exposure.
Barnes is said to have been doing
some work in connection with the recla-
nation of the Anacostia flats, which are
to be developed for park purposes.
Jones, a seawaIl inspector employed by
the Engineering Department, and New
man, a truck driver for the Columbia

MAN BADLY HURT
BY RESCUE TRUCK
Four-AIarm Fire Threatens

Murdoch Mcdonald, 60 years DID,
1913 c street southeast, plasterer, is
believed to have been fatally injured

Only handful of the milk bottle

ployes were in the one-story brick struc-
ture when the fire was discovered by
Oswald Harris, printer employed in
the plant.
Firemen Immediately began playing
water on the three-story brick building
adjoining the dairy.
