Magpie Talk Complicates
Home Life Of 'Blackie'
Recent interest in magpies and
magpie traps brought unexpect
ed complications to the life of
"Blackie," pet magpie belonging
to Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Carothers
of 2150 White.
The Carothers became alarmed
about the safety of their pet
when a young boy in their neigh
borhood told them he intended
to shoot the bird because he is a
menace to other smaller birds.
They have had calls from a num
ber of people interested in
"Blackie's welfare because they
were afraid something might
happen to him.
"Blackie" is well-known in his
neighborhood since the Caro
thers found him with his leg hurt
a year ago. They kept him until
he got well, and when they tried
to turn him loose he refused to
go.; Although he has never been
caged he has remained with
them. ,
The principle concern over
magpies to farmers and sports
men is that they kill young game
fowl and rob nests. Quail and
pheasant are their favorite prey.
Blackie however, hasn t had i
occasion to harm wild game be-1
cause ' he never strays far from j
home. The Carothers have a
number of small birds, including
52 pet canaries, and "Blackie"
has never harmed them.
Adding to the personality of
their pet is the fact that he has
learned to talk, but he hasn't had
his tongue split according to the
popular belief.
According to Mrs. Carothers,
"Blackie" has two bad habits.
He loves to hide things and to
whistle at pretty girls. Mrs. Caro
thers doesn't know where he
picked up the "wolf whistle,"
and worse yet, she doesn't know
how to keep him from doing it.
Approximately five per cent
of the crude oil refined in the
United States is made into kerosene.

merce will be represented at a

Chamber highway committee
men conferred with Luke o' the

Stark, rather than a member of
the roads committee, go to the
meeting. Stark will go or name
an alternate,
It was pointed out In the dis
cussion that secondary highway
appropriations for the first post
war period have already been
made, but that the Luke o' the

secondary slate highway, and it
is proposed to have a section
from Fish lake towards Med
ford added to the secondary
system.
