"You searched me pretty thorsuzhly when you knocked me out and dr~;ped Mr. Jenkins‘ snuff on my arm," said Strand. "But the important gun was hidden in the house then." "How did you szcceed in strangling Ike, and later knocking me out, on the night you were drugged?" asked Strand. "And what did you have against the bandits, anyway?" "I wasn‘t drugged, brother. That was camouflage. I had to kill Ike beâ€" cause he suspected that I was a man and had let me know it.

Similar work on a smaller scale is being done at Leamington, Ontario, where alterations costing in the neighâ€" bourhcod of $50,000.00 are taking place. Additional improvements to be inâ€" corporated in the new building include a depressed road which will allow easy handling of tobacco from the farâ€" mer‘s truck to the basement floor. From the basement it will be conveyed vertically to the second floor where a continuous horizontal conveyor, runâ€" ning all around the room, will carry bundles of tobacec to those who grade it for colour and quality. After it leaves the graders, the tobacco will be gathered on a central conveyor which will discharge on the first or middle floor.

Voice Opinions About the Counâ€" tryâ€"Say Trains Are Since the starling selects its terâ€" ritory early, several native species which habitually occupy situations identical to those selected by starâ€" lings are crowded out by this newâ€" comer. Birds which nest in cavities and crevices suffer most severcly. Such species include bluebirds, crcstâ€" ed filycatchers, flickers, house wrons, tree swallows, martins, nuthatchcs, chickadees screetch owls, sparrow hawks and downy woodpeckers, The starling is also a competitor of many native birds in the matter of food. The seeds and fruits of many trees and plants are consumed by the fall and winter population of starlings. Th‘s food would formerly have sorvâ€" ed as food for native species. English Girls Starlings feed on a wide variety of food materials, Both animal and vegetable matter is taken, the proâ€" portions varying according to availâ€" ability, which in turn is dependent on the season. The starling is not native to North America, but was introduced from Europe in 1890 and 1891. On March 6, 1890, eighty starlings wore liberâ€" ated in Central Park, New York City and on April 25, 1891, forty more were released at the same place. From these 120 birds originated all of the millions of European starlings now found throughout Eastern Amâ€" er‘ca. For six years these starlings and the‘r progeny romained about the po‘nt of introduction. Gradualâ€" ly however, they spread farther and farther from New York and in 1919, 29 years after its liberation in New York, the starling reached Ontario. At the prosent time they are numerâ€" ous in the southern parts of the Maritime Provinces, Southern Onâ€" tario and Southern Quebec, Ocâ€" casional specimens have been seen as far west as Alberta. The nat‘ve home of the common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is the temperate region of Europe and corâ€" responding _ latitudes in Western Siberia. The natural enemies of starlings are the birdâ€"eating hawks. In this country, Cooper‘s hawk and the sharpâ€"shinned hawk are known to turn to the starling flocks as a conâ€" venient food supply. These birdâ€" eating hawks take the prey which they can catch most easily, and when starlings are more abundant than other birds, more of these are eaten than other species. Only time will tell whether starâ€" lings will continue to increase in Southern Ontario, although the numâ€" ber of resident birds must be nearing the maximum that can find a living in that part of the province. of some efficient large scale trap during the flocking season, but efâ€" forts to reduce the population in parâ€" ticular sections, unless continued year after year, will merely offer opâ€" portunities for birds from neighborâ€" ing areas to move into territories where competition would be less keen. It is improbable that every community in the province could be induced to wage a continuous war on starlings. Any effort short of this will give only partial and temporary relief. The starling is here to stay, acâ€" cording to a circular recently distriâ€" buted by the Royal Ontario Museum of Zootogy, Toronto.
