BIRD’S SONG IDENTIFIES IT
Once Heard, One Is Not Apt to Forgit
the Trill of the Beautiful

“I tick ! I >ick ! Dickcissel
Or. if you prefer another analysis:
"Chip: chip: Chee-ehee chee!"
So the Diekcissel has a distinct
stunt of his own—something that no
other bird can imitate or rival. Some
times we think Dick s a tit proud of
It. too, for he Hues Ihe railway right
of way clt ar across the middle west

his song is ever In our ears while you
are traveling.
The Dickcissel was formerly ended

very beautiful creature as well ns very,
useful, lie is mostly of a rich y- lit w
hue. with ft black throat—hut nobody
need Identify him by1 his tire s, for ids
song is inimitable. In our experiencej
we never heard any of the mocking
birds attempt to imitate the “CDip!
Chip: Cliec-chee-chee!” of the hot
weather friend.
He is really a salamander of till'
air, too, for he is late in arriving and j
early in departing, and does Ids best

POETS BRAVE FIGHTING MEN

Wlinf power have the sacred Nine

Sidney, writer of dtr.tillers lines,

Dante defended his tenets in arms.
Byron contracted a mortal fever help

what is probably the greatest war
poem in all poetry, “Scots Wha Hae i

And now out of the great defenders

Joyce Kilmer sleeps in France.

Land Question in Chile.
The land question, particularly as it
relates to the Indians, has of late been
receiving attention from those Inter
ested in the future of Chile. The
tendency has been to take every ad
vantage of these natives, who, despite
the many handicaps that official and
unofficial greed have placed in their
way, are admitted to be making sub
stantial progress. They have, as might
have been expected, shown themselves
particularly proficient in agriculture
and cattle breeding. Crying evils in
the administration of hie lands have
been pointed out in the public press,
hut as yet the authorities do not seem
to he sufficiently interested in remedy
ing a state of affairs that does much
to alienate the sympathies of an im
portant, if subordinate, part of the
population.
Preserving American Scenery.
While the members of the Assocl- I
ated Mountaineering Clubs of North
America are not all devoted to moun
taineering, they have a common bond
of interest In the preservation of
American scenery and in the protec
tion of plant and bird life in their
natural environment. The association
Is co-operating with the national park
service for the creation and develop
ment of national parks and “monu
ments.” A tine collection of litera
ture on mountaineering has been form
ed by the association at the New
York public library and bibliographies
are being compiled and published.
When this organization was founded
in Ibid, it embraced nine clubs and
societies. Now there were 29 and the
aggregate membership is over 45,000.
Bombarding Sky With Names.
By means of new wireless Invention
it \rill be possible to project sounds
Into the air which will enable an avi
ator to know exactly where lie is. For
example, suppose he were passing
over Calgary, from the moment he
approached the region lie would re
ceive the message "This is Calgary"
until he had left it behind him. And
so on with all places over which lie
may pass. In this way his chances
of losing his way will be considerably
diminished.

Foreign buyers are always glad to
go to any point and bid on the wool |
held by the association. All farmers
in the county who have wTool should

act immediately if we get results.

BETTER BABIES CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD MAY 7 AND 8
The chairmen of the committees of
the Better Babies Conference met at
the Red Cross Room in Batesville
Tuesday afternoon and made plans
for the biggest and best health con
ference Independence County ever
had.
There is work in this move for ev
ery citizen of the county and it is
hoped that everyone will do his part
in a way that will bring healthier
babies and happier homes, under the
direction of the County Red Cross
Health Nurse. The different organ
izations in Batesville are planning
to have the biggest child welfare con
ference we ever did have, Friday and
Saturday, May 7 and 8. We expect
to have with us our State Health Of
ficer, Dr. C. W. Garrison and his
wife, who will bring with them some
picture films, along our lines of work.
We hope to enroll every child in In
dependence County under six years
of age, and if their birth has not been
registered this will be an opportune
time to register their birth.
All the physicians in the county are
urged to come and help on these
days for we hope to examine and
score a large number of children. A
small reward will be given the chil
dren of different ages making the
highest score and the examining phy
sicians will be more than glad to sug
gest the^proper treatment of any de
fect in children.
Come and bring the well children
and have them weighed, measured and
examined for the contest, and bring
those that are not growing and devel
oping as they should, and have them
examined and some suggestions may
be given by the physicians that may
help in their development into strong
healthy children.
On Saturday afternoon we will close
with a parade in which we would be
glad to see every child under six
years of age take part. Let the chil
dren come in push carts, in buggies,
on tricycle, on bicycle, in toy auto
mobile, on kiddy-kars and a-foot.

GEORGE F. GROSSER
How much should I give
to make this a better world?
A CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53' , . And his total gifts to church and char
ity for the year were $148.
Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
a little better than he found it!
Most of us do better than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
—less than we spend for daily papers
■—less than a local telephone call
—less than a third of the day’s car fare
■—less than 3 cents a day
No wonder that 80'„ of the ministers of America
are paid less than $20 a week. No wondei that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
It isn’t because we are selfish; it isn t because we
don’t want to help. It’s just because no one has ever put
up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the
work of the church in a systematic businesslike way
The Interchurch World Movement represents the unitea
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better.
They have budgeted their needs; no business could have
a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dol
lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam
paigns are joined in one united effort.
And they come to the men or women who love America
~ to you - this week asking you to use them as the chan •
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make this a better world.
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should be.
It’s a good time right now to answer that question.
We’re passing through the world just once- how much
better will the world be because you passed through?
