Lv t':. -< '•m W A THECall? •-^•: " op "MOUTDOORS FEED THE, ^AME BIRDS Mid-winter usually finds a large area of the United States covered with snow and the game birds find it extremely difficult to locate food. Millions of upland game birds, such as pheasants, quail, ruffed grouse, prairie chickens, pinnated grouse and Hungarian partridge, suffer tremendously from lack of food and the force of the unmerciful blizzards that rage on their way down from the north. Quail have been known to become trapped under the frozen crust of snow and starve before the warm sun melts the snow surface sufficiently for them to break through. Feeding campaigns sponsored by various chapters of the Izaak Walton League of America do wonders to save the game birds during the long winter period. Every community where game birds exist should organize feeding campaigns and help to save the feathered folk of the fields and woodlands from starvation. A severe winter works havoc on every covey and unless they are fed and protected their number certainly decreases alarmingly. Cracked corn, grain of any kind, stale bread and grit should mak* up the major offering of the feeding campaign. Corn stalks, with the cobs still on them, also offer food and protection for the birds. By placing the stalks tepee fashion, or to form a lean-to, the birds will also enjoy additional cover and protection. Feeding stations should be established where cover is in evidence, which naturally protects it and keeps it where the birds can locate it more easily. This winter has been unusually severe in many sections of the country and feeding campaigns which were held during the heigth of the heavy snow and cold period accomplished much to help save our American game birds. February and March also bring much Snow and activities should be continued faithfully until bare patches of ground are in evidence in the fields and woodlands. The birds become accustomed to your feeding stations and after once establishing them, they should be stocked regularly throughout the wiafcer months. / Coloring Material -- -A#natto is the pulpy substance surrotiliding the seeds of a tree by the same name and imported into this country in cakes weighing two or more pounds, to be used in coloring batter, cheese and oleomargarln.

War Hero Ends Life; "Free# Girl of Burden" Cjooncil Bluffs, Iowa.--The medal of the French Legion of Honor remained today to remind Catherine Smith of her heroic fiance, who killed himself rather than burden her. In the battle of Chateau Thierry E. G. Anderson so distinguished himself that he was decorated by the French government. His valor cost one leg, however, and he was wounded in the other leg. After a decade of fighting his handicap Anderson learned that there was a likelihood that his remaining leg wotfid have to be amputated. Rather than burden Miss Smith with the cares of a helpless husband, Anderson shot himself with a revolver.

A few scientific twists of his lock tweezers overcame this difficulty and "Curly" Gaines stepped Into the living room. It was dluily lighted by a rose-shaded reading lamp, and the radio was gbing. Mrs. Crumley, the old woman whom "Curly" planned to rob, had confided "just that afternoon that she always left the radio on when she went out in the evening, as It seemed more gheerful when she returned later. _ As a self-styled radio expert, "Curly" Had familiarized himself with the premises on previous calls. Mrs. Crumley had become friendly and confidential, which was quite according to his intention. Old ladles were his speciality. Anyhow, he reflected, as he regarded her wall safe with a speculative eye, the necklace would not be a haul that required violence. And this small strong box was a joke! Radio accompaniment, however, was something hew in his line and rather diverting. So he seated himself In a huge overstuffed chair before the radio. There waa a rattle of movement behind him and two cold, skinny hands were suddenly clasped over his eyes in "guess-who" fashion! A gun in the ribs had never in previous experiences produced the chill which now froze his spine. "Did I startle you?" Mrs. Crumley, diminutive and smiling, with the artlessness of a child stepped from behind his chair. She shook a reproving finger at the gaping young man. "I hppe I did--because you certainly frightened me until I realized who It was! I was sure I had the night latch on--and It was lucky that it was only you. I appreciate your coming back-- "because I know what a busy man you are." It required all the Ingenuity "Curlypossessed to adjust himself to the bewildering situation. "I found I had some spare time," he found himself saying, "and I thought I'd run up and test out the new tube. The door wasn't locked-- and Td have had the radio all fixed." fmperfect as he knew this explanation to be, "Curly" felt that Mrs. Crumley accepted it and was really pleased at his thought fulness. "I wonder If you would like a piece of fresh cake?" she coaxed, bustling about switching on lights and rearranging sofa cushions. "I baked It myself and I know men folks like cake. You're not hungry? Oh, I know! i promised to show you my old-fashioned jeweiry sometime. It's really very Interesting--especially the necklace." , "Curly" permitted Mrs. Crumley's fluttering hands to push him back Into the deep chair from which he watched in hypnotized silence as she brought a large box from the wall safe. She seated herself beside him and emptied its contents into her lap. Ther were more than a dozen cotton flannel sacks of the same slse and color. **I keep the things In these bags so's they wont scratch each other. I can tell by the Initials I embtvidered what's In each, then I dont have to open them all when I want a certain thing. It Isn't that any of It Is so valuable-- it's because it's grown old along with me. 'This was Joseph's watch--my husband's. This was Ellen's--my daughter who died. And will you look at the chains Joseph wore with his watch --aren't they heavy) This la the necklace." There was nearly a yard of It "Curly" estimated. "Joseph gave It to ma when Ellen was born," droned Mrs. Crumley, fingering it lovingly in her palm. "There are seventy-five diamonds In It--even If they are not very large. My son-inlaw says 1*11 be knocked over the head t-:ome night and he laughs at my little safe. I believe you're laughing, too?" "No, Mrs. Crumley, Td say you were safe from sluggers, at least! But really, I must be going." "You've been very considerate of an old woman," she declared, "and Tm thankful it happened to be you who walked in on me this evening and not a real burglar!" "Curly's" face still wore a grin when he reached his room and pulled a cotton flannel sack marked with an "N" from ills pocket "It was almost fcfto good to be true!" he laughed to himself as he dumped the loot from the bag. But his smile vanished immediately. The glittering heap before him was not the necklace, but "Joseph's" ponderous watch chains! And his professional pride would have sufTered even a greater jolt could he have«heard Mrs. Crumley's telephone conversation at this moment with her son-in-law. "Yes, 111 be ready as soon as you get here. No, Indeed, I won't stay alone In this house another night. Imagine what I've been through--and switching those bags almost under his very nose!" Reasons for Loving *Tls never for their wisdom that one loves the wisest, nor for their wit that one loves the wittiest; 'tis for benevolence and virtue and honest fondness one loves people; the other qualities make one proud of loving them, too.--Hester Lynch Ploasi (1741- 1821).

Deep-sea sponges, like other animals that live in the dark, are. generally light In color; bat those that live in shallow water are very bright, and the color assumed by the sponge la generally for purposes of defense, or to frighten away other anltrais. Sponges are very abundant in the AusirsHan aeaa; especially is Uls the case with the horny or highest form of sponges.
