PROSPERITY INSURANCE A UNITED community Is a pros perous community Rivalry and discord Involvo wnsto of energy, the stuff from which pros perity is manufactured. Energy proporly directed bringB success and prosperity; wrongly cxponded It pre vents progress nnd makes success in Hb proper sonso out of tlio question. A community whoso people nro at loggorheads can not bo really pros perous and progressive. Tho ono way in which to insure prosperity for Coos Day and Coos County in 1910 and thereafter is to organlzo It for community building. Its pcoplo must discover or bo shown tho multltudo of Interests they liavo in common. Clinnnbls must ho op ened for unified offort In bohnlf -of tho public welfare. Feaco, harmony, nnd progress must bo tho watch words for tho futuro. Local development can bo nnd should bo mndo sound nnd safo tlo-i volopmont. Local Investments should bo mado .proMtablo by tho building up of a community of In terest nnd tho stimulating of n pub lic spirit that shall mnko secure ovory legitimate business nnd ovory basic rcsourco. Tho only rivalries that should find a placo In community development nro those- Inspired by a dcslro to ex cel in efforts to promoto tho pub lic wolrnro. Propor consideration of tho public wolfuro novor Involves tho, sucrifjeo of prlvnto rights; though tho unrestrained pursuit of prlvnto ambitions may not always work for tho publlo bcnoflt. Tho rights of tho public should always bo rospoctcd whether thoro bo any ono to assort thorn or not.

Thoro is nolthor wisdom nor permanent profit in so doing. Prlvato prog ress Is boat Insured by community progroas and community progress Is mado sccuro by community build ing.

Lot us all pull together to mnko 101 C tho best and moBt prosperous yenr Coos Hay nnd Coos County huvo over known. THE cold snap, with the accom panying snow, is working a great hardship on tho birds of Coos Day. Ordinarily, tho fow birds In our towns can find plenty to cat, but now tho coming of tno snow, togethor with tho fact that ninny moro birds havo flocked in from the cold hills to tho wurmcr and inhabited parts, Is slowly kill ing ninny of tho little creatures. A farmer up Coos rlvor states that hundreds of birds nro starving to death, Tho birds cat worms, grubs, nnd seeds, and now of course It Is hard for them to find this food. For In stance, the robin with his ear to tho ground listens for tho worm nnd then pulls out n plump und juicy fellow for hlBdlnncr. And so It is with all these little creatures. Uut tho present snow covering makes It impoBslblo for these wild birds to forage. Snow and lco cov ers tho ground; tho result is that ninny will starve to death. Inasmuch as tho birds hnvo flock ed into town from outside points, wo are given tho chance of feeding them with almost no troublo at all. Tako a look into your ynrds, notlco wheto tho llttlo creatures aro tho most apt to come, and thoro place brend crumbs and bits of food for thorn. Tholr uppotitcs nro first class nnd 'thoy enn wax fat and happy on tho sort of food Hint ordinarily goes to tho chlckctiB. Offerings of this sort nro doubly welcome, and tho Good Samaritan act of Just ono person may savo tho lives of ft dozen song birds. Evoryouo knows tho valuo of tho bird to us. Tho farmer ncods him to protccet the crops, nnd wo need I'him as, well for his Bong nnd his beauty. Tho most common birds seen around tho Iioubcs Just now aro tho western robin nnd tho varied thrush, commonly culled tho Alaska robin. As theso birds nro often seen togeth er nnd nro about tho same slzo, thoy 'upponr similar to tho casunl observ er. Tlio varied thrush, however, has n black bill, n bright rusty brown hlmost orange brcnat with a blank uecklaco ncross tho throat, and n stronk of oraugo on either sldo of tho hend. Other birds often scon hero dur ing tho winter nro tho Orogon Jun co, rusty song sparrow, red-shafted flicker, Oregon towhoo, western 'liluohlrd, brewer nnd rcd-wlngcd blnckblrdB, winter wron, nnd the Icllhlccr.
