FEED THE BIRDS

We appeal to the general public Ut
this time to establish feeding stations
for the benefit of our feathered and
furred friends. The establishment Of
feeding stations during the winters of
the past ten years has produced wcnd-
eriul results. A great many sections
have paid especial attention TO this
program and have greatly benefited
thereby. There should be q special
effort made to establish your winter
Feeding program at once and continue
as late as April LIST. 10 18th following.
Every person, not only the sgricultu.
rists, orchardists and woodland owners
but residents OF the towns and cities Of
our State, should 90 operate by furni
shing dinner tables for the song and
insectivorous birds which visit their
homes. Thousands OF pieces OF brood
stock can DO saved BY supplying grain
at winter feeding station, thereby
assuring the birds or animals sustena
nee st the time OF the year when
natural feed is scarcest, and with very
little expense or trouble.
1t is the duty of every man, woman
and child TO protest one Of Marylsnd's
most valuable asssts-the birds. The
welfare OF crops and the economic
success of the farm, orchards and
forests are closely related to the mum

Whether he will be able to do more
than Mr.. Welles in the way Of restor-

a question.
Col Carlos Mendieta, leading oppo-
sitionist, said that the strife, with no
end in sight, is keeping the island sunk
in economic bankruptcy and threat
ened by strikes. He said the nation
resents control by a government
backed by army dictatorship and the

youths with decidedly Communistic

Augusta Saladrigas, a director Of the
Abe opposition, declared that 50 per
cent Of the natives are opposed to
President Grau's revolutionary soci-
allstIc regime. Saladrigas expressed
the opinion that the only solution Is
either a native revolution or United
States Intervention. A revolution
seems impossible as long as the army
remains loyal to Grau, but failure to
meet pay day might prove the start
OF revolt.
AT the Pan-American conference in
Montevideo Angel Giraudy, Cuban min
lister of labor, attacked the Cuban pol
