and apparently they do not require
water. Often, they are seen in the
driest districts where there are no
places for water to. collect.
These birds have very handsome
plumage. 1t Is densely banded and
spotted with black and pale brown.
There are black situations and q
long recurved vertical crest Of black
feathers somewhat edged with Gin
namon brown.
There are two lateral stripes on
the head above and beneath the
eye. The slender throat is a cinna-
mon white and pale tint of brown
beneath. The breast has numerous
black bars and black shaft spots.
The fianks and under the wings are
a pure white. The under tail coverts
have broad black bands. On the
wings there are many markings.
The bill has black hue and the
sturdy legs have a blish cast. The
female Is clothed in slightly paler
shade OF the color patterns.
What is so interesting about these
birds is their keen delight in dust
baths. This place is highly regarded
by all members of the clan. The
tub" is followed out to form a cir
cular spot that is finally made quite
deep. Here will come the birds
every day for their bath. There
must be a friendly agreement as to
each ones bathing time, since there
has been no report of disputes
among them and only one appears,
! as If her allotted time must be kept.
She leaves promptly and another ar
rives.
Coveys of from 6 to 30 birds may
be seen together. When disturbed,
they resort to night at snce. But
they Jump up one after another and
are on their own to escape. Some
times, they run away and are very
swift. As they retreat, whether fly-
ing or running, they utter a shrill
squealing cry as If in great terror.
Their flight, although it appears
.. to be rather violent and loud, is also
accompanied with soft wailing
note that is rather pathetic. As the
Tapping of the wings ceases, so do
the notes Of complaint.
The call note is never heard dur
ing the winter. In September, the
birds begin to utter in the evening
long weird, slightly modulated
whistle. This is the way the con-
cealed birds have of talking over the
days events with each other. Their

Many thousands Of badgers live on
this continent, but people seldom see
them. Their holes may be found on
prairies and mountainsides, also
about the edges Of deserts. but the
animals themselves are hard to
locate.
There are two main reasons why
badgers seldom are seen. One Is the
fact that they are nocturnal" They
use the nights to hunt their food
and spend most Of their daylight
hours inside their "dugout" homes.
The other main reason badgers are
not often seen Is that they are care-
full when they do wander from their
holes. In twilight or moonlight,
they watch out for enemies. They
are tough little fighters, but they
have enough sense to know that they
are no match for men with rifles.
The badger has q gray coat Of
rather long hair or fur. There Is q

streak of white running from the
nose up over the head. The gray
coat matches the ground In some
places, and this IS still another thing
which keeps them out OF sight.
The western prairies Of Canada
and the United States are the IA
vorite homes Of badgers. In that
region they do good deal to keep
down the number of pests. They
feed on mice, gophers and prairie
dogs.
A full-grown badger Is usually q
little more than feet long and
weighs about is pounds. We may
say that it is built close to the
ground" In other words, 1t has
short legs.
Time and again badgers have
proved their skill in fighting. In
past times, when these animals were
more common than today, the So
called sport Of "badger-baiting" was
carried on. A barrel was laid on the
ground, and captured badger was
placed at the. open end. Then 1t was
attacked by one or more dogs. The
badger always put up . brave fight.
1t was more than 4 match for q
single dog, and sometimes fought OF
two or more dogs.
A young man once caught q badger
by the tail and hind legs as 1t was
running into its hole. He could not
pull 1t out, and called on the help
of friend who was with him. Even
the two together were not able to
pull the badger out. II they had sue
ceeded in capturing it alive, they
might have been bitten for their
pains. This animal has sharp teeth.
and uses them when attacked.

ON COMMUNISM

Editor, Post-Press,
Ell Centre, Calf.
Dear Sir:
Why are the leaders in Communism
making such a desperate effort to get
control of our country? They claim there
is no profit there is equality for all. Oh,
but is there? Herein lies the mystery
that confronts all Americans who fear
the approach of the Communistic state
of government.
If there is no profit for anybody why
are there people and groups of people
spending millions of dollars in spreading
their propaganda of the glories of their
Shangri-la? Communism is doctrine of
community property-of all things being
held or done in common. There is to be
an even distribution af all monetary
wealth-if money is to be used-but will
there be such equality?
We Americans have seen Communism
tried in other countries, and we know
that things are not made equal The
masses have a bare subsistence, the rulers
have all the luxury All intelligent, un-
biased persons know that equalization is
impossible.
Other writers on this subject have said
that the spreaders of the doctrine of Karl
Marx were "conivers' of the truth. This
certainly is the correct word. Webster
says it is pretending ignorance of some
thing that is known This hits the nail
on the head. They know that things can
not be as they state.
The leaders of the Communistic move
ment are the ones who will get the
wealth, while you and | will get the
spoiled beans and dried bread. The ram
pant leaders of this movement all have
ulterior motives. While teaching brother
hood of man the individual is out for
power and wealth, and cares nothing for
U.S. This fundamental truth should be
emphasized.
Sincerely yours,
HIGH ESTES

GESTAPO SUPREMACY
(Santa Monica Outlook

tSanta Monica outlook
Two announcements. from Germany
are full of significance. One is that
Heinrich Himmler, the heartless chief
of the Gestapo has been made minister
of the interior with very great authority.
The other is that some nazi troops are
being trained in street fighting.
These changes would have been un-
necessary six months ago. They suggest
conditions in civilian life in Germany that
may we'll be considered of great gravity.
The nazi army has been trained inten-
sively to meet all the hazards of battle,
and their discipline has been rigid They
may be expected to face armed force with
obstinate courage. But the civilian popu-
lation is in an entirely different category.
In the last World war it was the civil
ians who broke down and their suffer
ings and collapse shattered the morale of
the army Obviously the nazis remember
that catastrophe and are preparing to
face it with the same cruelty and ruth
lessness which they have visited on con-
quered nations.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-09-09

If. in SNUG complacency and op-
timistic over-confidence in the be-
lief that the wars going to be over
quick, you lean to the belief that
there is no use worrying about the
threat of Nazism in this country,
you're Just kidding yourself. Nazi
propaganda in the United States
| today appears to be just as strong
as il ever was. How it is being
financed by German money, cashed
| in the United States before this
country got into the war, it is hard
! to trace because money tends to
lose its identity in passing from
hand to hand. But even II the
downfall of Hitler means the end
of the Nazi party, there is no as
surance that the source of funds
will dry up. for right within
America means have apparently
been found to continue the pub
lication of millions of copies OF
tracts, pamphlets, direct mail
pieces, vermin weekly newspapers
and slick paper monthly maga-
zines. individually, the mailing lists
may cover only a few thousand
names. Collectively, they cover
millions of readers and the poison
they preach is apparently not with
out its effects. The stuff gets
circulated around, IS repeated by
word of mouth from person to per-
son. and on the gullible and suscep-
tible. it eventually takes hold. 1t
breaches a line of hate Britain,
hate Russia, hate international
world Jewry, race hatred within
the United States. 1t takes ad-
vantage of every weakness on the
home front, in the ratloning pro-
gram, food shortages, to preach
that these wartime developments
are part of a deliberate plot to
| cause revolution in the United
States, permit the overthrow OF the
existing constitutional government
and the seizure of power by the
internationalists. 1t is utterly fan
tastic claptrap. There Is nothing
new about it. 1t is an old story, and
as such it has been dismissed from
the mind as worry By most
people. But the mere fact that it
has been dismissed has permitted
| it to flourish unobServed, while
public attention has been centered
on other, more dramatic develop
mer.ts of the war.
The battlers against this domestic
propaganda are relatively Jew.
There is no one in Congress crusad-
ing against Nazi propaganda today.
In fact, all the crusading seems TO
be on the other side Throughout
all the literature" printed and dis
tributed in the United States to-
day, there is an undercurrent OF
isolationism disguised as NATIONAL
ism and from time to time THESE

If there is not a revolt, when the
people come to prepare the first of
their quarterly income tax esti-
mates between now and Sept. Is,
it will mean that the American citi-
zenry has become race of mice,
not men.
Since the first income tax return
began harassing few of the most
prosperous in oEr population, no
thing like the current orgy of sta
tistical complication has been in
flicted upon us as a people.
There is almost certain to be a
bitter revulsion. So let's clear up
the record right now, in advance,
and see that anger is directed
against those who deserve 1t. These
quarterly estimates, followed each
March Is by final return, arise
out of the pay-as-you-earn tax
law adopted by Congress this sum-
mer in response to demands for the
