Ken- itucky has had its fueds in the moun tains and its duels in the Bluegrnss but not for u. century has a more bit 'ter bloodless feud been fought than that now being staged in the courts here between the-farmers of Fayette county and the city dwellers of I.e ington.. I For the city dwellers have decreoi that "Couit Day" on Cheapsidc1, a block in the center of the city, an in stitution of a century's durution, must go. And the farmers say that "Court Day" must stay. I The courts have decided in favor of the city dwellers once, but a mis take was made in not including the county in the suit to abolish the cus tom of farmers bringing their horses and mules and livestock of all kinds to Choapsido for sale arid of the people of the countryside gathering in tho shadow of the statue of John Camp, bell Brerkenridge, former vice-president of the United ' States to discuss :t.ho political issues of the-day.

Bird: Migration. In a continuation of the nation wide investigation on bird migration, the information of the survey cov. ering habits, distributon, and mgra tton of birds has increased and become very valuable. Further study has been made of ptch injurious rodents as ground squir rels, pocket gophers, rubbits, kan garoo rats and pocket mico in order that more effective meiui. aguinsl their depredations might be found and made available for use by America-, farmers. i Under the protecting care of the bureau big gamo on government reser vations has multiplied fast. The ani mal census shows 1,08 buffalo on sucl reservations now, as compared with 203 five years ago; 04 elg, us com. pared with 150; 02 antelope, ns con' paied with 40, and so on. Care of the birds progressed ma terially during the year through post ing and defining boundaries of many of the bird refuges, the planting of grain to provide food and cover, es tablishment of new reservations, pro vision of additional warden service at certain reservations, and increased number of patrol boats. Its administration or Hie Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits th'r shooting of migratory birds on their flight north in the spring and con tains restrictions ns to the manner in which they may be hunted during the open seasons, anil of the I.acey Act, iwhich regulates interstate shipments i'f wild animals and game, resulted in uie nppreliensinn of nearly 1,000 alleged violators of the federal game laws umf the securing of more thin 500 convictions, in which fines were assessed ranging from $1 to, $500 each. Numerous seizures of migratory game liiuls illegally killed or pos sessed, the birds being disposed of by the bureau with the consent of ihn iiised by gift to hospitals or charitable institutions for use ns food, and seiz ures of contraband plumes and mount, cd specimens of migratory birds of an estimated value of $5,000. A notable increase among the mi gratory birds is attributable almost solely. to the limitation of spring shooting, the nonsalo of migratory game birds, and the establishment of a uniform Iwg limit, the three funda mental restrictions made possible by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, u--eortling to the report. I'eimits were issued for the impor. tetion from foreign counties of 1S2 -052 birds and 5..10S animals, the lat ter including 1,574 black or silver fox es from Canada. .'
