wealth and profits of the parasites
and of their right to rob, exploit

The Unemployed Councils call upon
all workers and all their organizatinos

masks itself behind the popular de-

This dangerous plan Of the bosses

over.
For two months I worked
steadily on this program, and
finally I was rewarded by hear
ing the Earl, each time came
near his cage, making a Ceter-
mined effort to make a noise
like that Of the nina. 1t was
a long time before he achieved
anything beyond a mere noise.
But presently the noise SeTara-
ted itself into two SyllableS,
and day by day these two syl-
tables grew more and more to
resemble "hell-o."
Each effort he made was re-
Warded by a morSal Of rambu-
tan, and the Earl soon con-
neCted cause and effect. At
least once every hour somebody
would approach the EarlS cage,
holding out a tempting piece OF
rambutan. Having found the
key to obtaining this prize, the
Earl would concentrate himself
on the difficult task. His hello"
was now nearly perfect, and he
was beginning to add other syl-
tables, which would soon COM
mence to sound more and more
like "hoW's business"

developed an interest in his
chattering neighbor. He would
cock his head to one side when
Gabby started talking, and
listen.
The next step-made week
later-was to put Gabby and
the Earl in the same cage, a
big square one measuring six
feet on each side.
The Earl tolerated Gabby
but he was not above making it
plain that, if the nina could
talk, he was talented, too.
More than once, by way of re-
minding his chattering cage
mate of his own gifts. he would
spread his plumes and strut
and give his piercing jungle
call at the height of Gabby'S
gabbling.
An Easy Word
Once I got the Earl used to
the idea of living with the
nina, busted myself with the
job of trying to show him how
to get an occasional morSel of
rambutan.
Il started with the word
"hello," easiest of all words for
talking birds to learn as has
been demonstrated time and
again with parrots. I would get
the Earl's attention by holding
out three or four shelled ram
butans. He would fix his eyes

smaller in size.
my carefully conceived plan
was to provide a feathered
tutor for my pupil. For this
purpose I took, not a parrot,
but a hill nina, which is
much more adept talker than
any parrot. This coal-black bird
(about the size of an American
magpie) is an inveterate mimic,
and will repeat almost any
word or sound which it hears
frequently enough. I selected
a. young one, separating it from
all my other birds so that the
Sh1y sound or phrase it would
near would be the one I wanted
II to learn.
Teaching Begins
I planned to get the nina
letter-perfect in the phrase
which later = hoped. it would
teach to the paradise bird. This
must be a phrase which, COM
ing from a bird, would amuse
the average American audience,
and decided upon the follow
ing: Hello, hoWs buSiness?"
without much difficulty I got
the nina. which I dubbed Cab
by" to repeat this phrase over
and over. Whenever anybody
came near Cabby'S cage. the
nina would flutter against the

the visitor, shrieking in an un-
ending repetition its call: Hell
10, hello, hello! How's busi-
ness? HoW's business?"
Each time Gabby would be
rewarded by bit of banana.
And the visitor, whether it was
one of my animal boys or a
guest, was instructed to reply
by repeating Gabby's own words
and no others, so that as far as
Gabby was concerned, there
were no other sounds or sylla-
bleS in existence.

placing the two in adjoining

he resumed his seat at the
dining table. The others took
their places, when Pa suddenly
reached over to Ma and picked
up a sprig of forget-ne-not.
'Lottie gave 'em to her
mother. I'll keep 'em for a

easily impressed.
"We don't want those

SALE OF THE MOROCTO
PROPERTY CONFIRMED

The Circuit Court of Cecil
County has confirmed the sale
of the Morocto Roofing Com
|pany property at Rowlandville.
purchased at private sale by
Dean Moore, former treasurer
of the company.
On April 5, 1928, the large
plant at Rowlandville was
swept by fire, and the concern
went into bankruptcy. The
fire loss was estimated at $780,
900.
On March 26, 1882, the DAM
aged machinery and scrap iron
were sold at public sale, but
the property withdrawn for
lack of an adequate bid, and
sold later to Mr.. Moore. 1t is
this latter sale that has just
been confirmed by the Court.
The warehouse, where the
finished roofing shingles we're
stored, was some distance from
the mill, and was saved from
fire. These shingles have since
been sold at private sale, good
prices being realized, as the
product Of the mill was of a
very high grade.
The Roofing Company plant
was originally the scene Of acs
tivity in the manufacture o.
sheet iron, by the Mccullough
Iron Co., which also had mills
at North East and West AM
we'll, in Cecil county, and in
New Castle county, Del.
In 1857 the iron mill at Row.
landville was purchased by
Jethro Johnson Mccullough,
the plant having excellent
water power, which was de-
rived from the Octoraro creek.
The product of the mill was
known as Octoraro sheet iron.
In 1868 a steam mill for the
manufacture of bar iron was
established at North East. 1t
was Mr.. Mccullough who, in
1853 introduced the manufac-
ture of galvanized iron into the
United States, sending to Eur
ope for a man familiar with
the work.
Previous to this, in 1912, Mr..
McCullough had purchased an
interest in the Red City Rolling
Mill, New Castle County, Del.
In 1847 the forge at North
East was purchased, and in
1853 the West Amwell plant,
near Elkton.
In 1861 the concern was in
corporated and then re-incor-
porated in 1865, under the
name Of the Mccullough Iron
Company.

BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE

About 2 o'clock Sunday
morning the large double deck
barn on the old Edward Ma
honey farm at Pleasant Hill,
Cecil county, now owned and
occupied by John Sartin, was
destroyed by fire, as was also
an adjoining building in which
the farming implements and
machinery were stored.
The live stock was saved,
but part of this years crops
consumed in the fire. The or
igin of the fire has not been
determined. Loss estimated
about $4,000 which is partly
covered by insurance.
The fire recalls that several
years ago, Mrs. Anna j. Ma
honey and her 29-year-old son,
Edward Mahoney, Jr., were
murdered on a Saturday night,
after being robbed, and the
home burned to the ground.
Several suspects were arrest
ed, one of them being Edward
Lynch, of Philadelphia, a form
er resident of that neighbor-
hood, who was indicted on cir
cumstantial evidence. tried in
the Talbot county court, and
acquitted.
