It ,1s becoming IneVeasingly clear that continued abundance of " wild fowl -: this country must depend largely on : cultivated sanctuaries.

More than ; 77, 000,000' acres of swamp land have beeni, turned j to agricultural pur noses in the southern feeding areas The result 'was apparent to hunt ers., when they; found the ducks theywere able to bring down were in apemaciated condition ,? ; A MILITARY RAM) Itj Js fine news that there is 509 prospect for Salem to have' a military band of &0 pieces, i If ihisf is organized U ; will' be the only ono In Oregon, outside of Portland. ;!.But Salem .

It means that the children out: there will learn organized play which is fair play, and makes squarer onen and woni en out of them, i r . i . .. -- The other Is that Mr. Albtrt of fers to donate a' wading pool. . The Oregon 1 Statesman Is very much for a wading pool.. " It is afraid to - trust the tots whose lives ire so j precious jto 'deep iwater, -or wiere tlfey-' cin; get into ; deep waiter.. ' A slanting bottom is some protection, but the most' protec tion is to have the water shallow and- let; the children 'wallow. , It not only meets every requirement, but is the best possible thing for parents and children.- It is to be hoped: that the plan : will be in augurated at once.

"Invisible Ink.' ,You found something, my lad, when you pulled . that 'lining away," she said emphatically, and young Mr. Chester flushed to the roots of his hair with pleasure. "Invisible ink?" I ventured. -"I'm -practically certain of. it," Lillian replied, "unless the gifted Mr. Smith has a patent .cigarette paper, the secret of . which he doesn't want tp share with any .body.

A; SLAUGHTER. The Auditoriuni Editor Statesman : , . I read with much! interest the report made by Mr. Stolz on tho: venuon recently held at HHlsboro, and noted what he said' regarding Salem's need of housing accom modations for such gatherings". Salens is without question most favorably located tor a conven tion city, situated as it is in a most .interesting part of the Wil lamette valley with good transpo tation accommodations, and tr the capital city and a city b ful with wide" streets lined home-like lawns decorated ' flowers and -shrubbery. Bes. these attractions, for' visitors, l lem is most fortunate in havir in the heart of the city, two pu b lic parks which have always been a source of much pleasure to it? population and objects for ' ad miration on the part of visitors to qur city." It Is these things, asso ciated with innumerable other at tractions, that makes Salem so much admired by every tourist and visitor regardless of from whence' they come. i My point is this while we need an auditorium sufficiently com modious to care for a large gath ering such as a state or national convention,-yet we , must be care ful In ' making provision for bucIi occasions that we do not destroy or even mar. those attractions so Important .for, a convention cily.

There aire other sites quite as satisfac tory aa. the square,: and while I realize there is no immediate dan ger of losing this most valuable shade spot in our city, yet I kcr from experience that ft pays te a movement in the bud if it be subdued. .' - . ; V ; - Salem is "to- be a big city Will need every Inch of space that money-stained f ' will permit.
