Birds Die as SnOID
Weighs DOWn Wings

Olivia-The spring birds returned
from the south several days too early
this year. At least that should be the
conviction of several hundred birds OF
the family of Song Sparrows that
persisted in a belated snow storm at
Olivia last week While a heavy snow
fell throughout the evening, the air was
fairly swarming with this breed of
birds. Being blinded by the snow and
heavily weighted with moisture and Ice,
the birds committed suicide in whole
sale manner by flying against buildings
and other objects Hundreds of dead
birds were found on the streets the
next morning. Several Olivia people
rescued number of the crippleS and
brought them to sheltered places in an
attempt to save their lives.

Dilapidafed Signs
Being Removed.

Protect School Children" signs placed
on trunk highways by American Legion
posts will soon be removed by the state
highway department in all cases where
the signs have been allowed to deteri-
crate and become unsightly.
This announcement was made in a
bulletin issued by the department. 1t
is in line with an agreement made with
state officers of the Legion some months
ago. AT that time the Legion agreed
that signs not conditioned should be
taken down.
The Legion signs were put up on
highway right-of-way several years ago
as a safety measure. Some posts have
since failed to repaint them and keep
them in good condition. 1t was de-
cided by both Legion officers and high
way department heads that neglected
signs are not useful and often are
eyesores. Signs taken down by the
highway department will be held for
six months and if unclaimed by Legion
posts by the end of that period they
will be junked.

WOn,,un 81 Years Old
Cuts Third Set Teeth.

Park RapidS-An epidemic of teeth
extraction has swept Park Rapids re-
Gently, and good many young people
have said goodbye to all the attendant
aches and pains they suffered with the
original masticatiug tools-so they
think. However, in this world of con-
slant miracles, nothing is certain. AS
witness, Grandma Holder, "a year old
resident of Ponsford, in Becker county
is undergoing the same pangS as she
experienced approximately SO years ago
and again about 88 years ago. In other
words, she is cutting her third set of
teeth. It's unbelievable, but it's true
Two teeth have already made their ap-
pearance, and the third is already on
its way.
