Feed The Birds

Feeding the birds while the ground
is covered with a deep snow is i'm
perative, if birds are to be kept alive,
according to E. Lee LeCompte, state
game warden. Mr.. LeCompte is ask
ing sportsmen and the public in gen.
eral to cooperate in distributing the
grain, which will be furnished by the
game department to those who will
make it their business to find coveys of
birds and erect feeding stations in
order to save the brood stock.
The birds cannot find the feed on the
snow. The snow must be scrapped to
the ground and the feed scattered on
the bare ground, he pointed out.
In the watered areas of this State,
wild waterfowl must also be included
in this feeding program.
Weather reports are to the effect
that cold weather and heavy SHOWS are
still in order and unless wildlife is fed
by the public the shortage of brood
stock for the coming season will be
very noticeable.
The District Wardens in each county
Of the State have been notified to pur-
chase feed and deliver same to those
persons who are interested and will
assist in this feeding program.

THURSDAY, JANUARY II, 1910
NATURE WARNS AGAIN.

A news item in the daily papers of
few days ago shows that the condi-
ton of the winter wheat crop of the
United States is the worst on record.
So severe was the drought damage
that the crop forecast is down to $780,
100000 bushels, compared with this
years crop of 563 ,431 900 bushels, and
the 825,000,000 record production of
1881.
Despite the outlook, there is no APP
parent prospect of a wheat shortage.
But that is no thanks to the Govern
ment's farm management. 1t simply
happens that despite restrictions, the
carry-over is sufficient to fill normal
needs.
The situation is important, in our
opinion, as illustrating the futility and
Ganger of attempted crop control. The
Governments efforts are always to-
ward restriction, with no provision
against such unexpected visitations as
the current years drought.
This is the second time since the
New Deal embraced the planned ag-
ricultural economy" that Mother Ma
ture has warned US. Next time we may
pay the penalty.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION

The object of this suit is to procure
a decree for divorce a vinculo mat
rimonii by the plaintiff, Arthur Dixon,
from the defendant, Oceola Friend
Dixon.
The bill states:
That the plaintiff and the defendant
were married on the 9th day of
March, 1897, and lived together near
Friendsville, in Garrett County, Mary
land, until about the 10th day of Octo-
Der, 1886; that the defendant has aban-
doned and deserted the plaintiff and
declared her intention to live with
him no longer, and that such abandon
ment has continued uninterruptedly
for more than three years, and that
the separation of the parties is de-
liberate and final and beyond any reas-
enable expectation of reconciliation;
that eight children were born of said
marriage, all Of whom are of full age
or deceased; and that the defendant
is a nonresident.
The bill prays for a decree of di-
vorce a vinculo matrimonii by the
plaintiff from the defendant, for gen.
eral relief and for the order of publ
cation.
IT IS THEREUPON, This 18th day
of January, 1910, ordered by the Cir
cult Court for Garrett County, in
Equity, that the plaintiff, by causing a
copy of this order to be inserted in
some newspaper published in said Gar
rett County once each week for four
successive weeks before the 9th day of
February, 1910, give notice to the said
absent defendant of the object and
substance of this bill, warning her to
be and appear in this Court, in person
or by solicitor, on or before the 24th

COASTING-

If parents and the children them
selves cooperate with the Mayor and
Town Council, the decision of the gov
erning body of the town to rope off
Fourth street for coasting will be en-
tirely successful.
When there is no definite place for
children to coast they can be found on
almost any billy street, regardless of
how careful and how often the police
are in chasing them away. But with a
little travelled street being roped off
just for shedding the matter is more
easily controlled
Even with this precaution the COOP
Grafton of parents is needed to remind
their children just where to coast and
where not to coast. The situation OBJ
viously presents difficulties. Automo-
biles are so much more numerous now
than fifteen years ago, but children
haven't changed much in their desire
to sledride.
Motorists can also, help by having
their cars under control at street in
tersections, but the. most cooperation
can be given by seeing that childre go
to Fourth street when they want to do
any coasting within the town limits.

Firms Facing Mighty Odds In Their
War With Mighty Russia, Show Re-
markable Bravery And FOrtitude

markaDle bravery ana FOTLlluue
To the Editor of The Republican.
When we read each day and are in
formed via the air waves of the terrific
battles between the vast Red Army
and the intrepid, steel-nerved Firms,
fighting nightly in defense of their
tiny republic, few of US actually real
ize the incredible odds the Firms are
really facing,
Russia, with her 8,66O,395 square
miles of territory; her population Of
179,000,000 and her tremendous army
certainly is displaying herself as the
worlds champion so far as poor fight
ing and general inefficiency is con-
cerned. Against their courageous OPP
posers whose native country is smaller
than the State of California, with a
population of less than 100000 and
an army of 600 men for every $4,000
Russians in active military service, the
posed-to-have-been invincible Red
army has made plenty of news by
walking into clever traps designed by
the Firms who are obviously more in
telligent and superior all-around fight
ers. On several occasions entire COM
panies of Red soldiers have been
trapped on ice and consequently were
compelled to face direct Finnish ma
chine-gu fire. Once or twice large
numbers of Russian troops have been
caught between Finnish cross-fre, re-
sulting in an almost, or entire COM
plete humiliation of the discocerted
invaders.
Finland has approximately one-for-
ty-ffth as many inhabitants as Rus
STA. Metaphorically speaking, Russia's
attack on Finland is proportionately
the equivalent of three-hundred sixty
pound adult battling with an eight
pound infant. Inconceivable! Coward
ly! But by way of illustration, true!
The real significance, the paramount
feature of Russia's attempt to "steam
roller" Finland is not wholly confined
to the invasion alone. The unorthodoX
attack upon the Films alone, does not
satisfy the implacable Stain. He has
asked his equally ruthless ally, Hit
Ter, to supply him with two hundred
thousand technicians. Within itself
this demand bespeaks-yes, fairly
shouts-the inferiority of Russia's
men who are expected to direct the
technical side of the current inhuman
invasion toward the goal of victory.
Stain virtually comedies the inabil-
ity of Red Russia to cope with the
clever tactics of her tiny neighbor.
With this lucid distinct fact so clear,
Stain apparently has become both i'm
Datient and infllriated He is deter-
mined to pour more and more troops
into Finland and play his acs, the
weight of numbers, against a little

winning the 1910 brass award for in
