reduced prices from 100 up s also scawfa and a variety of stamped goods upstairs misses claridge herald block this occurred three years after we young folks at the maine farm had gone our various ways out in the world leaving grandmother ruth and the old squire alone there we had an attack of conscience so to speak and as related in a story called when tne young birds came back we decided that at least one of our numtxr out to forego other plans and taige up life again at tne bid place the lot to do this fell on the present narrator as trie one of least con sequence in the world otherwise and i went back on the farm to live for a part of tne time and keep tne home fires burning though i must needs own that the old folks regarded my coming in that capacity rather as a joke still we all felt that it was the right thing to do an efficient middleaged aunt martha tburiow as we called her had been hired to reheve grand mother ruth of domeiitir cares help such as was needed out of doors for crops and dairying had also been hired and we got on fairly well tola was due largely to aunt martha wno insisted among other lines of profit on our keeping four hundred barn fowls and having thirty donen of eggs to market weekly in may after this new departure at the old squires a young person ap plied for summer board with us a miss wuma crosby of boston who although she did not at first disclose it to us had a special motive a mis sion it might be termed for coming into the back country this was the time when the agita tion for more merciful treatment of animals tint swept over the land and the society for the prevention of cvueliy was formed a great humane movement very eaedxtable to the heart of the american people after a while local agents of the society were appointed tar and wide but at orst almost any tenderhearted person could act as agent and get away with it such we learned was miss wlhna orosby she was actuated fay impulsive pity for every living crea ture that suffers times have since changed and nowadays the wonderful organisation and merciful good deeds of the rpjca deserves the support of every dawen the old scunne was much attracted to miss oraehy deeming her one of the harbingers of that better day of humanity which to the very end of his long life he fondly believed was soon to be ushered in as often as posstbae ma wlhna as we soon eaxno can her went out with us whenever the team had to go either to null or to market at the village at moes distant since this enabled her to keep an eye to what was going on in our rustic community yet pleasant company as was our sirmmrr guest her seal frequently be came ernjbarraning from contaanoy discovering objects of pity by the wayside ease emaciated old hone tolling in toe fields some maimed bird orsqinrrel in the hedges or perhaps calf loudly bawling for its mother a terrified cat up a tree beset by i in person in auspices canadian planatpiibns distbre on were bowling along to jjie railroad station with fifty dozen of eggs and several cans of cream when a dis tressed squalling came to our ears from a nearby cornfield and on look ing in that direction a truly cruel spectacle was revealed suspended by bheir legs to poles stuck aslant in the ground hung six young cows nap ping a little from moment to moment evidently they had been taken from crows nests and hung up there as a warning to frighten- away other crows tliat were pulling up the young corn this it has to be confessed was in accord with oldtime practice in new ehghudq by this time miss crosby was sitt ing up very straight who has done this and why she cried i was obliged to explain what an utterly heartless act i was her comment did you ever see any thing worse dosent that show plainly what great heed there is of the society pull up heres where i come in miss crosby 1 objected we have barely time to get to the train its only a mile to the- station we can at tend to this on our way home we shall be hack in an hours time not another minute she exclaimed in righteous indignation go on to the station- with those eggs my duty is here arid now i did not like to leave her i had misgivings as to what the people at a nearby farmhouse would say or do i could see two half grown boys stand ing in the yard and watching us when we stopped but there really was not a minute to spare for shipping those eggs and so i hurried away leaving miss crosby there by the cornfield be a little careful about angering these folks i cautioned as i drove off but thiey must be reformed she replied solemly i was uneasy and the instant the egieb and cream were a- board the train returned in haste when i reached the farmhouse the entire family was out in the yard and wilms as i will now call her was lectulmg them eloquently she had taken possession of the young crows released them from their tor turepoles and placed them in a bushel basket with a bran sack tied over the top thus far i had not realized that she could be so tremendously in earn est or so eloquent tears were in her yes as she pleaded for m sake i finally got miss wuma away the farmers wife promising voluntarily that no more crows should be treated after that barbarous fashion wuma retained firm bold on the basket how ever which was set in the rear part of the wagon and before we reached home the young blackamoors were cawing vigorously evidently hungry now what are you going to do with them i questioned as i unharnessed old jeff poor starved littv things she cried they are mother natures in nocent children those boys shot then- parents i must feed them she transferred them from the bas ket to one of our empty poultry coops and then cut liberal chunks from a roast of beef which i had procured from a butcher at the village the squalling those young cows set up with their first taste of fresh meat was appalling they were half grown brack repulsive little creatures semi- naked and huge of stomach with stub bed quill wings long clutchclaws and great black bill that opened into pro found red gullets aunt martha much seandalixed had come out and made haste to rescue the remainder of that joint of beef well i guess we are not going to furnish meat at fifty cents a pound to feed a flock of crows she exclaim ed with decision and marched off with the roast grandmother ruth who bad followed martha out was observed to close her lips quite tight better let me get willis murch to put them quietly and mercifully out of the way i urged wilms turned big solemn eyes upon mk i couldnt bear to see tt done she cried and added i will feed them at my own expense i said no more and from that moment her troubles o8n- i wonder whether many people young or old have any idea as to the quantity of food a wood crow will con sume and still call for more i hadn till i saw it with my own eyes grows must be related to the ravenous harpies of ancient fable wilms bravely attempted to appease thelr hunger but within three days she discovered that buying even cheap meat for them would bankrupt her the constant loud squalling of those orows and wumas perplexed looks alternately vexed and amused us aunt martha had counseled feeding woodchucks to the crows and a neigh bors boy jemmy rowe bad under taken to furnish two chucks per day but wuma i remarked the poor chucks are mother natures in nocent children too i know it she replied regretfully it hurts my feelings but i suppose we must do the duty thats nearest at hand the supply of chucks soon failed jemmy reported a growing scarcity i am not exaggerating in the least those six little black gluttons would oonmime two fullgrown woodchucks a day and still squall obstreperously for more wuma now wore a look of real an xiety and it was no joke for wlhna in two weeks her orphans had eaten up everything available thereabouts onto then i had never realised what foragers old crows must needs he in desperation after one day of awful squalling wilms induced aunt mar tha to drive wtth hereo a feed store near the railway station where she purchased two hundredweight of corn this she soaked quart by quart in warm water and with the softened kernels attempted to fill the noisy vacuum below those gaping red gul lets tbey ate it greedily enough but all that day and the day following they flew and flapped they could fly by this time about the house or perched cawing piteously and re- prcac ully on the ridge of jhe u roof fiesu meat was what they wanted and now came the climax of miss wllmaa troubles about three- fourths of a mile away at a farm house two very estimable ladies from the city had recently taken board and lodgings for the summer thus far they had not called on us they were believed to be rather exclusive but they beard who had not the clamor about our domicile and had drawn their own conclusions as to our turpitude they too felt that they had a grave duty to perform and on the third morning alter wuma had brought home the corn they appeared at our door we gave then greeting they begged pardon they sincerely hoped we would take nothing amiss they introduced tliemaelves with quiet dignity and then fnaxmg thernselves heard as wen as hey could above the stlpjahg oh the roof acoaatnted us being properly fed or else they would never utter such constant complaints that was the way they put it as they talked they grew perceptibly more in earnest in fact they lectur ed a little and hinted that steps might have to be taken but they had approached us first as friends they declared and sincere ly hoped that the matter might still be keptron a basis of friendliness and witlr this they bade us a most cour teous goimbrnina the crows were now nearly full- grown and by willis mulchs advice wilms toled them away with tne aid of soaked com o a spot in our east wood lot where the cries of other crows were beard in the hope that they would joinl themselves td their wild kindred anrtiiy off with them wilms took the precaution to softly away and jeave them but apparently the ties of no charms for them they had no notion of losing their benefactress and carpe escorting her back to tne farm house squalling louder than ever it was then that aunt martha spoke out she drew me aside and gave- hcr ultimation rf yod dont put an end to those crows before this time tomorrow i shall clearly the time for action had ar rived i took thought jt was borne in upon me that i needed the aid of a bad boy jemmy rowe was too good and besides he was too well ac quainted wtth us but i thought i knew of a bad boy generally spcajdhg there is at least one bad boy within the radius of a mile or two of everybodys home 1 suppose they have then- uses or they would not exist at any rate t had a use for this one whom i will call bill i went and found him bill i said after we had passed the time of day have you a good gun yesv replied bill could you shoot six crows at once i inquired well thats a lot of em at one lick quoth bui but 1 reckon i oonld ef i could git elost to em and gh em all in a row sos to take em rakeways on a half slant weil said i some day you may have a fine ohaxsce but as i went home j knew fun well that i could not be a party to the execution of the awful little creatures to whom we bad given a home wlhna had told us that she was go ing to stay thief weeks more i avoid ed aunt marthas eye i knew that i would find a steely glint in it i almost sneaked oat of the house with wilma afterwards and helped her to give those crows four quarts of soak ed com theyll be in your way a good deal in boston i ventuerd oh she said and yimped i be lieve it was not un then that she form ed a picture of mfe in the coy with six voracious roving crows for house guests she was very thoughtful afterwards i could see that she didnt dare sug gest that we were the arue owners of the creatures she nad tacitly ad mitted when she purchased the feed for them that they were ber birds i knew she lived on atariborough street bandy to the oornmoa well the common would be a grand place to take your pet crows for air and exer cise or would tt i didnt dare to raise the question next morning when it was time bo give the crows then breakfast the whole problem had solved itself they didnt want any breakfast they dead and bui had not shot them either they had no doubt looked tor a little additional refreshment during the early hours of the dawn and they had fo s which had been poisoned by a neaghbor to kill a fox that was preying on his chirams at least that is my belief looked more cheerful and carefree than we had seem her for a month past the old square smiled be nignly and no one mentioned crows mailing ust users much cash waste veri9sln many a direct mail adverttslnf com munication is buried in the dead letter office according to burton o g coles superintendent of the di vision of dead letters post office dep artment these advertisers wasted s325- 000 in the fiscal year of 1931 because they used obsolete mailing lists and failed to use return addressed envel opes during the year the dead letterdivi- sion received fi45016 letters contain ing advertising matter about one- third of all the dead letters fcn a year these represent only the firstclass matter there was a suu larger amount sent under thirdclass postage and destroyed at the local post office because of insufficient address no record is kept of these thus advertisers who use mailing lists wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars last year in their efforts to reach prospects this is only a small proportion of jtheaclualfcost while millions of these circular letters were disposed of by the post office millions more were quickly deposited in waste paper baskets by the recipients this type of advertising is like aiming in the dark there is no cer tainty- that the letter will ever reach ariybody and the chances are big thatrlf tt does the person so favored will not be interested yet advertis ers continue to utilize old mailing lists and will even circularize the same parties month after month although bhe addresses may have moved years ago it is a costly practice much better is newspaper advertising with its known direct appeal to thousands of readers reaching those who are inter ested wfao are in thcjnarket and who are not offended by the intrusion as with mail burdens driver must be carkfttl got no damages because

said that the concrete of both the dam and the poerriouse foundation were heavily reinforced but as the foundatfco was practically floating be is not surprised fjhat it gave way the mill pond about an acre in extent was emptied and the water rushed through the gap tearing at the plant as it went to spend its force along the pond of the cheltenham mill about a mile and a quarter down the river no

injury but is a menace to the public and should be locked up overnight and given opportunity to cool off judge b p justin declared in dismissing an ac tion brought by a motorist for dam ages done to his automobile when he ran it into a group of sheep on the roadway between peel and dufferin counties judge justin held that the were not at large contrary to any law or bylaw other than that against trespassing he said the fact un doubtedly is that a very large pro portion of the drivers of motor cars busses and trucks are acting as if they thought no cihe else had any rights on the roads and tbey are rushing through taking the ciiances and blaming everyone else and every thing they get into collision wdthu in stead of blaming themselves for thetr own want of care in the case heard before judge justin bert pretty of orangeviue brought action against hilton dale caledon because his car was chan ged by the tatters sheep on the road way evidence showed that as pretty approached the sheep he met another automobile and run upon some of the sheep the animals were not lnjnred although the automobile had to be lifted off them in order to release them the world is weary sick at heart and
