S g PROTEET SEA BADS Laysan Island Group Guarded by Government Patrols. FEATHER HUNTERS CHECKED Reports of Expedition Sent to the Reefs Have Just Been Published —Reservation Is Resort of About One Million Birds, By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Recently an expedi- tion waa sent to Laysan island in the Pacific under the joint direction of the United States department of agri- culture and the University of Iowa. The duties of the members of the ex- pedition were to make a report on the island and adjacent similar {islands and reefs as places of refuge and nesting sites for the millions of sea birds that from time {mmemorial have resorted there yearly to raise their young or to rest while migrat- ing. Reports of the work and the find- ings of the expedition have just been published by the government. One report is by Prof, Homer R. Dill of the University of Iowa and the second is by Prof. William A. Bryan of the Col lege of Hawali, Honolulu. Early in 1909, just before leaving office, Theodore Roosevelt established by executive order what is known as the Hawaiian islands of reservation, as a place of refuge and assured pro tection for the seabirds. , Not long after the order was issued, and before the government had established & patrol of the island group, the chie! one of which is Laysan island, a party of feather hunters landed on the place and killed more than 200,000 birds mostly albatrosses, for millinery pur poses. The United States and Iows scientists found on Laysan island s large shed packed full of albatrost wings. Thetis WIIl Protect Them, Now the révenue Cutter Thetis has been ordered to patrol the coast of th¢ Island of Laysan and the adjacent islands, and the captain has been told to arrest anyone caught killing birds or interfering with their nesting op erations. Despite the awful slaugh ter of the seabirds by the feathe: hunters, it is belleved there are enough birds left to restore the feath ered flocks to something 1like thel original numbers, provided protectior can be systematically enforced. The government recently has been very much interested in the preservation of bird life in all parts of its domain During the Roosevelt and Taft admin- istrations there have been set aside particular reservations on the Atlan. tic and Pacific coasts and in the Gull | of Mexico, and there, under proper government espionage, the illegal kill- ing of seabirds has been stopped, and the gulls, the terns, the Ibises, the spoonbills, the flamingos and the other birds gradually are coming back into their own. It 13 estimated that on Laysan is. land and-the reefs adjoining it there are at present about 1,000,000 birds, ranging in species from the little mil- ler bird, which is of an Interesting habit of life, to the great man-of-war bird, which follows ships for hundreds i of miles over the trackless waters of the ocean. Audubon Societies Help. Lighthouse keepers, revenue cutter officers and, in fact, all government officials whose duties take them mear the haunts of the seabirds, have been ordered to exercise due vigilance to protect the lives of the beautiful crea- tures which not only serve manm by adding attractiveness to the ocean wastes, but in the case of the seabirds do good service as scavengers. In addition to the care exercised by the government to prevent the need- less slaughter of the birds of the sea, the Audubon societies of the country haev raised a fund with which to pay wardens for three months’ service each year on some of the islands of the Atlantic and the Pacific in order to keep plume hunters and egg hunt- ers away from the nesting places of the herring gulls, the kittawakes, the Wilson terns, sometimes called sea swallows, and the other birds Which give life to the seashore. Of course the national government’s guard for the most part can be maintained only on islands belonging to Uncle Sam or on the lighthouse and other govern- ment reservations. - ‘Most of the breeding places of the gulls which are protected by the wardens em- ployed by the Audubon societies be- long to the different states. The birds are under the protection of the state laws and the plume hunters and egg hunters are not half as chary about violating state statutes as they are those of the United States. So it is necessary to maintain the men on the Islands with full power of arrest given them by the state authorities in order to keep the vandal hunters out of the birds’ sanctuarfes.

Nobody seemed to know what he was crying about, but it must have been something, for the youngster was running the entire gamut of infantile shrieks. He was a tow-headed, lace- collared little chap of four or five, down town on a shopping tour with his mother, a large, fashionably: at- tired woman of the society type. People along the street turned and looked at the waiting youngster, but it wasn’t up to them to say anything and they just let him cry. The mother tried to hush him, but to no avail. ‘Whatever it was that he was g0 lach- rymous and worked up over had him right. Then strolled up a little news- boy—a lad probably nine or ten years of age, but not much larger than the five-year-old. The newsboy was just starting to eat a banana when he heard the shrill shrieks of the smaller kid. Whether as a joke or in a spirit of magnanimity he rushed up along- side of the astonished mother, placed the banana in her son’s hand and says: “Here, bo, eat that an’ stop your yellin’.” And the unexpectednes of the gift did actually stop the noise and tears in about two seconds and a half. WHEN WALKING WITH LADIES Nearly Every Country Has Its Own Ideas as to Place of Male Escort. Almost every country has its own fashions for men who walk with ladles on the public streets. In America and in England we walk on the side of the lady that is nearer the street. Many years ago when the streets were not kept as clean as they are now, any person walking on the outer edge of the pavements was likely to get well splashed with mud and rainwater, and that {s why ‘the gentlemen took that side, s0 ‘as ‘to save the ladies’ fine clothes. < In some countries it is considered better for the gentleman to keep near- |- er the middle of the pavement in or- der to preserve the lady from jost- ling of persons going in the opposite direction in a crowded street. When it is the rule for every one to keep to the right those who are on the left of the two passing streams are continually being bumped into. Im | Germany the gentleman always keep on the same side of the lady, no mat- ter which side of the street they may be on or which way they are going. Money Value of Women. It you are a married woman, and were asked to tell just what you were worth in hard cash to your husband, what figure would you name? The question is not a fanciful one by any means, but has been a subject of ju- dicial consideration. It was this way: The wife of an Towa farmer bought a gallon of what purported to be keroseme, but which was afterward shown to be 21 per cent. gasoline. When the woman used some of it to start a fire with the stuff exploded, and she was burnt to death and her three children were seriously injured. The woman's husband sued the dealers for damages, and the jury awarded him $25 for the loss of his wife and $299.71 per child on account of injuries. The detendants evidently thought that a woman was not worth $25, for they took an appeal from the verdict. The learned court, however, declined to look at it in that light, and the judgment was affirmed.—New York Mail Depending On. An artist of international fame re- cently had a bright little Swedish girl posing for him, and thinking to keep her expression animated, he com- versed with her while he worked. “Do you go to school, Ragnhild?” the great man inquired with affable complacency. “Oh yes,” was the reply. “And what are you going to be when you grow up?” 7 Ranghild’s face beamed. “If I have sense,” she answered, “I will be & school teacher. If I have no sense;, I will paint plctures—iike you.” No. 882, STATEMENT of the Condition of The Security State Bank of Bemidji, AT THE CLOSE OF BUSI- NESS ON JUNE, 14 1912, RESOURCES.
