THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

The agile young bird on the flying
trapeze is the nuthatch, Of course.
He is the famous Devil Downhead, or
tree mouse Of the woods, come to our
yard in response to the recently erected
lure Of feeding station.
This delightful fellow, usually to be
seen with his pals, the downy wood
pecker and the chickadee, easily finds
where food Is put out for him.
Just how he does this, how any bird
does 1t, Is q matter OF conjecture by the
householder who likes to watch them.
Sight? Smell? Surely 1t must be
one or the other, and. probably both.
Birds, like all natural creatures. have
the keenest powers Of eyeSight. No
doubt their scent is equally good.
Between the two they manage to find
all places where food is, either naturally
or artificially, put out by man, that Is.
=
Let no one be afraid that feeding
station will make the birds lazy"
That is just another one Of the need
less fears the mind of man thinks up,
but we have heard it uttered solemnly
on several occasions.
The birds, along with all wild things,
are forever looking for food
II it is provided for them they eat it.
When the supply runs out they go
some place else where they spot" an
other supply.
We do not believe birds are spoiled"
in the least by finding an artificial, and
seemingly unending, treasure trove Of
seeds at bill.
-
That interesting fellow, the nuthatch,
which somehow reminds us of q small
bluejay, would fly away tomorrow, we
feel sure, if no food were put out for him.
AS it is, he shares with the cardinal the
distinction of being first to the feeder
tree in the morning, just as light begins,
and last at it at night, as light ends.
If the food is there, they eat it; II
1t were not there, they simply would
ny some place where they might find
some.
Surely, they have no ideas to bother
their heads over, such as might obtrude
upon . human being confronted with q
free food supply.
We can imagine human saying to
himself, Now I wonder who put this
out2"
Surely, the nuthatch does nothing Of
the sort.
He eats, and that is all we can say.
That he understands that we, the shady
shape beyond yonder window, placed the
food for his detection, is beyond all
belief.
The high rate of metabolism of birds
and their equally high temperature,
several degrees higher than the body
temperature Of man, demands that they
eat necessarily.
Such incessant eating, Of course, does
not mean a constant flow of food down
their bills. 1t means that they are
searching for, and eating, all day long.
Life, to them in Winter, is reduced
to its lowest term:
Survival.
How many Of them fall by the way
side, to fly no more, is unknown. One
seldom sees sick or dying bird. Part
of their help to man lies in this very
fact, that he is unable to distinguish
one from another, in most cases, in the
various species. A chickadee is always

There is an issue of efficiency involved.

To the Editor of The Star.
Pater patrial father Of the country
Such was the title conferred by grateful
Senate upon Cicero when he exposed
Catilines communist conspiracy in four
notable orationS. We recommend Gen.
Fries for a similar distinction.
AS for DR.. Ballou, he ought to be
saddled with the dignity of inimicuS rel
publicae (enemy of the stste) on account
of aiding, abetting, nursing and fostering
the spirit of civic rebellion. At least
such is the substance of Cicero Fries

Why Not Have a Friesian
Text Book on c Communism?

To the Editor Of The Star.
Referring to Gen. Fries complaint
that the truth about Russia and Com
muniSm is not published, the answer
to the complaint is obvious.
Let the general publish book telling
the truth about these two subjects.
am sure the general is -eminently
qualified for such a task. The many
years he has spent in Russia, the close
contacts he has had with Russian lead
ers and the Russian people, and his
intimate knowledge of the fostering pro-
letariat" will, am sure, enable him to
present such a dazzlingly true picture
that we will all be instantly converted
to the Friesian school of thought.

A STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC FROM THE
PUBLISHER

Daniel L. H. West who has been in the employ of this
newspaper for several months is longer in any way
connected with the Twin City Herald. We
will be responsible for any contracts entered upon with
him from this date.
The management kept West in the employ of the
paper solely with the idea of helping him straight
When he last had difficulty with the police and courts he
released because of promise to keep him employ
ed He promised to do the right thing and gave him
another chance After several months we find that
only has he taken advantage of his position to hurt estab
shed organizations and do other malicious things but he
has been dishonest in financial transactions with the paper
We believe he has a diseased mind and is incurable
and should be placed in institution where he will not
harm honest and respectable citizens.

Dixie Justice Prevents Man
From Claiming Texas Estate

Omaha, June THE fear that he
cannot obtain justice south of the
Mason Dixon line is keeping Gabrie
McElroy, a Baptist minister, away
from Henderson, Texas, where he
has been told fortune estimated
from 100000 to $250,000 in oil
lands awaits him.
The story of McElroy's fight thru
dozen states to avoid return to
Texas despite the rich legacy was
unfolded recently by Rev. z. E. Nc
Gee, learned about the case when
George D. Pollock, Of Dallas, was de-
tanned by police at McElroy's re-
quest
Pollock explained he had spent
several thousand dollars hunting Nc
Elroy so he could be persuaded to
return to Texas, accept his legacy
and clear title to 20 acres of valu-
able Oil lands on the London planta-
ton near Henderson.
In the early COS McElroy was a
Baptist pastor near Henderson. A
band of night riders broke up a poll
tical meeting over which he was pre-
siding. Shots were fed. McElroy
was struck in the leg. He returned
the fire. Thinking he had killed two
white men, he fled.
Today, despite assurances of Po-
lice Chief Robert Samardick, Mayor
fowl and County Attorney James
English that no harm would befal
him if he returned to Texas, Noel
roy steadfastly refused to | cave
