It is interesting to note that as a j result o ftne bird-box campaign, >>ev-, eral of the scouts have reported that! their bo.^es were occupied, and broods j safely brought orT. We can help the' birds to Much by building and erect-! ing hon; for them, and by doing this j we gain not only the beauty of their j presence about our homes, but they destroy great numbers of harmful in-1 sects which would play havoc with: our gardens. In addition to our: common birds, there are many others: would bp our friends if ffiven! half a chanco. A little encourage-; ment and protection from unjust andj unnecessary killing and nest-robbing, and the birds demonstrate their won!: and economic importance by visibly.' reducing the destruction caused by. harmful insects. Do you * complain that the birds j eat your cherries and other fruit? j Plant a mulberry tree and your other: fruit is safe. The mulberry is' adapted to the bird's taste in having ! a very soft pulp and in being exceed- i ingly digestible by the young birds, j A mulberry tree is a fine place to observe the birds also. Besides such; nests as those of the brown thrasher,j cardinal, catbird and mocking bird, which are quite common within our I city limits. I h'ave seen those of the J summer tanager, wood thrush, mourning dove, orchard oriole, i.ndj even that of the wood pewee, within I the heart of the town. Doubtlessj some folks are not aware that such birds exist, but who, after having ^ heard the babbling, lively song of the orchard oriole, or having._6een its! trim, shapely nest, woven entirely of j grasses, could wish to kill it br harm j its nest? Or who, after having heard j the deep, rich, melodious strains of; the wood thrush, in some dark cool; nlapp where its notes re-echoed to a! gentle-eyed mate brooding the pretty blue eggs in the mud nest saddled on a limb, could want to kill it, simply because it happens to be a bird? The nest of the summer tanager is j a somewhat frail structure contain- i ing the bluish-green brown speckled j eggs. The wood thrush's nest is built | of mud and straw phstered together, j and lined with soft rootlets. A pe-j culiarity about this bird is the fact! that it always uses a piece of paper! in the construction of its nest, and i one bird got a piece of paper on its j nest bearing these words, ''House to let." j The wood pewee's nest is a fine j ' creation of moss and lic'ie >3 saddled j on a limb and containing: the white j and dark speckled eggs. All these nests are to be found j about our homes, and many more,! and the pleasure gained by watching; the birds and nests is more than ; enough to atone for the fruit that j 'they take. . But, as I have said, toj avoid the birds' taking valuable fruit, j plant a mulberry tree. Good people, consider what little' harm, if any, the birds do, and th<? onnminiK ?rnr?d whioh thev accom-' ? 0? ? plish, rd join with us scouts in an; effort to give the birds adequate pro-, tectior, efficient encouragement, and we shall preserve to future genera-', tions not only a more beautiful city,; because of the good work of the j birds, but by ceasing our wanton: slaughter we shall 'be preserving to ; posterity species which, at the pres- j ent rate of reduction in Newberry,! will have ceased :u exist long before our children could enjoy their ben -j fits. We have no rightf to deprive thv [ coming generation of benefits ana pleasures which we ourselves enjoy. Rats in ?the Montreal courthouse showed their contempt for the judge! by eating his gown and silk hat when | they were placed in the judge's cham-1 bers at nigh:. Court stenographers, had their notes eaten by rats during' the night and civil suits involving valuable property were delayed. through the disappearance of rec-i ords. When "Exhibit A" in a murder trial was eaten, and the prisoner was [ liberated from lack of evidence, the j authorities appointed an offic:al rat catcher. j: ^ t Guarded by two United Sta( gxv-; ernment cutters, the Pacific se;t: herd _* ... 2.1 . n . ..ii. n is moving irom ine 2>oum rat.nc 10 the summer rendezvous on the Pribil-' of islands in the middle of the Bering sea.

WORST CASUALTIES OF WORLD j WAR JUST SHOWING ? t Indianapolis, Ind., June 3.?The j worst casualties suffered by American soldiers during the world war are : just bebinning to show themselves.* By contrast troeps wounded on t1;. battlefields are lucky compared with the greatly increased casualties of, today, according: to C. E. Harris, an I official of the American legion's head quarters here, in charge of ex-soldier J claims against the government. There is an average of two ex-sol- : dier suicides a day, Mr. Harris declares following a study of reports.; These men, Mr. Harris finds, almost without exception were in the battle; lines in France. These soldiers, the legion official contends, were discharged by army cVjciors as normal. Since the war, however, these men,; struggling for a living, have under- j gone mental anguish that their war- j racked nerves could not withstand. I There are two ways in which the j legion hopes to minister to these j mental cases and to prevent their in- i crease, Mr. Harris points out. The j Langley bill, now law, provides 000,000 for the construction of new! hospitals. The largest portion of the ; money is to be spent in creating fa-! cilities for treating the neuropsy-; c-hiatrics, mental patients. The. le-' gion is also preparing to petition con-1 gress to liberalize the present Sweet' i^;n tv.;.- moVo; if- irnnnssi- ' L'lii* J.

The i legion contends that it might easilyi be five years after .discharge before j injurious physical and mental effects J of his service would appear/ t Mr. Harris further charges that the | United States Veterans' bureau, in J charge of the treatment and rehabil- i itation of the World war's disabled, is, in error concerning the gravity of the! neuro-psychiatric sufferers. A recent j Vpfprnris' hiirpan rpnnrt ?bnw,i that! the bureau's total capacity for treat-j ment of neuro-psychiatric cases is' 6.099 beds. Mr. Harris Gays he has j reports from legion liaison represcm-, tatives in each of the bureau's 14 re-^ gional districts to chow that in four of the 14 districts alone there are 24,566 mental cases on record. These; four districts include West Virginia.! District of Columbia, Virginia, Tenn? essee, North Oarolna, South Carolina.Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Nebra?-| ka, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Washing-1 ton, Oregon, and Idaho. Of the num-! ber 2,119 are being treated in M'ov-j ernment hospitals and 996 m :*on-| tract institutions. I The Veterans' bureau report,? but 4,628 service men in the entire Unit -t ed Sta-tes indergoing treatment for mental disorder in government ir.sti- : tutions. The legigon is asking the coopera- j tion of the public in its effort prop- j erly to protect post-bellum shell-! shock cases. Mr. Harris says that j friends and relatives should be quick! to repoit an ex^solciier who shows signs of mental disorder, and to mViini cuVimir fn un pvsmin:i! *fjn : ancl treatment. i I THE ECONOMY HOME [ CARES FOR MANY | Rhoda is dead and buried. We asked through the papers if some one didn't feel like giving lis another mule, but no one showed up with a' mule to give us. Lots of mules are for sale around her-:-, but people paid h big price for ther-i and they expect as much for them as they paid. So we went to a mule dealer and purchased a good mule cheaper than we could get one locally. Of course we did noc have the money, so we wore ' froced to get one of our friends to' fix a paper so that we could discount' it at the bank and get it. We received six applications last: week thai we do not ouster in our; cl?Ci, so we do not count them, but seyen came from Rock Hill that are in our class. Three children whose mother has been dead for some time, their father had had application in the T. B. sanitarium of Columbia 'nvough his physician, who got notice to have him report at the sa r. mi Satur-j day, the 3rd. This oil f.-.:her with two preachers came to s ^ about get- i tins: his children into the "home. The superintendent was away. The: preachers with the sick father's ap-; peal was more than ftrs. Spaulding could resist, so she consented for them to leave the children. Ask T.! A. Snider and Rev. J. D. Croft of Rock Hill if it is your duty to help ; care for these children. British Columbia is so free from: serious crime that there will be no' assize courts at Clinton or Prince George this spring. i And the bootlegger's customer act-' ually considers himself better than I the bootlegger. 1 5,000 mm si! raspofij Richmond, Va..
