A small boy bad a habit of leaving
food on his plate and was told by his
nurse that Mr. Hoover would be after
him.
""VVell, that makes five," despoil-
aenuy saia tne uoy. , . ,
"Five?" asked the nurse. ."What
do you mean?"
"Well," was the answer, "I've al
ways had to mind daddy and mother
and Aunt Mary and God, and now
bere comes along Hoover.'
Long ago a famous Irish orator is
eald to have thus mixed his meta
phors: "I smell a rat, Mr. Speaker,
sir: I see it floating before me in the
air, but I will nip it in the bud."
Young "Andrews had called upon
the young lady of tbe family. Her
little brother Willie came in and of
fered Andrews a piece of sticky choc
olate. Andrews wanted to make a
friend of Willie, so he took it and
ate it. Willie watched the eating in
tently, and when it was all finished
he said: "Was it all right?" -
"Yes, indeed," replied Andrews.
"Very nice in fact." .
"That's funny," thoughtfully said
Willie. "My cat spat it out once and
jny dog spat it out twice."
' "The man who gives in when he is
wrong," said the street orator, "is a
wise man;' but he who gives in when
he is right is "

the crowd.
' Sympathetic neighbor: "So Bill's

TODAY'S CASUALTIES
SAVE . THE BIRD RESERVE.
AN EFFORT is being made ly promoters nnd explojl-
era to pass a bill through the legislature' for1 the
draining of Malheur lake so that the land ean. be rer
claimed and placed on the market.' .The lake is alkaline
and it is doubtful if the land would be anything but an
alkaline flat worthless for agrieultureal purposes..'.' 'A;
lobby in Salem is working to this end, so these promoters
may reap a harvest in luring the unsophisticated easterner
to settle upon the alkaline encrusted soil and go broke.
Malheur lake is one of the few remaining great wild
bird nurseries left in America. It was created a foderal
game preserve by President Roosevelt, to keep the wihl
birds from extermination. The Department of Agricul
ture at Washington has had charge of this area and since
1908, has paid wardens to protect it. Oregon is morally
bound not to commit the commercial crime of destroy
ing it.
, "Wild birds ,nrc necessary to the agricultural develop
ment of the country because they ave the natural check
upon insects and other pests. Millions and millions have
their home in' Malheur lake. One by one, other lakes are
being drained. Or sW-tly will be, leaving this reserve the
last great bird refuge in the northwest. We have laws to
protect the birds in passage, but if their breeding
grounds are destroyed, these wild fowl will go the way of
the carrier pigeons.
. Malheur lake is as wonderful in its way as Grater lake.
It is an asset to Oregon not only because of the preserva
tion of bird life, but as a natural attraction a niecca for
naturalists and bird lovers from all over the world, and
one wliose value will increase with the years.
Governor Withycombe in his biennial message to the
legislature urged that jurisdiction of Malheur" lake be
ceded to the federal government so that the lake will for
ever remain a wild bird reserve, under national control. A
bill to cede jurisdiction, House Bill 376,' is pending. All
bird lovers, farmers and sportsmen are urged,, to write
their delegations to support this measure. .

Music Notes
The music In the public schools is
progressing splendidly according to
a statement given by the supervisor
of music. Miss Alice Vandersiuis.
. The greatest progress can be noted
in the primary grades. When the
children entered school at the begin
ning of the year, approximately one
sixth could carry a tune, two-thirds
lacked the musical experience and
one-sixth were tone deaf. At the
present time the majority of children
in the first grade can sing the major
scale, descending and ascending.
All the school children In" the city
are learning tbe standard patriotic
songs of America and the allied coun
tries. At least once a Week the chil
dren are gathered together in groups
for chorus experience.
The Girls Glee club of the Medford
high school now boasts of thirty
members. The club Is working on a
program which will be presented
some time In April. At that event,
the high school string quartet will
probably make Its Initial appearance.
The. quartet consists of Miss Ruth
Campbell, Miss Doris McReynolds,
Miss Vandersiuis, Miss Edith Brooks
and Air. F. C. McReynolds.
Medford musicians who are at
tending the opera season in Portland
this week are Miss Ruth Warner and
Geo. M'addox.
The Medford Choral society will
commence rehearsals on Monday
evening, Feb. 17th. It is hoped there
will be a full atendance and makei
the work for the remainder, of -the
season in a measure necompense
what was lost this winter.
'. The French government has sent
to America one of her best musical
organizations In the way of -a mili

ates, each one being an artist on his

this fact they are all veterans of the

ford will be one of the points visited
by this famous organization.

"We want to call your attention to
two things about the statoment,"
says the Falrmount Independent in
commenting on Mr. Larson's show
ing. "One Is. Mr, Larson is feeding
up most of the grain his farm pro
duces and selling it in the form of
meat and butter. The other thing to
notice is that he is making his chick
ens pay and pay big. .
"Another point to notice also is
that this is a result of not only good
farming but also of good farm man
agement. . Mr. Larson keeps a record
of his farm business. He knows what
each department 'of his farm Is do
ing. His farm is a factory of which
