HUMMING BIRDS’NESTS. |Mr.Gudger’s Experience Finding Them in Different Localities. To the Editer of The Lanamerk: Mooresville,R-2 —I read Mr.Jo-seph T.Linney’s letter in The Land- mark with great interest (subject the study of humming birds).I did not know there were so many differ- ent kinds of humming birds,as the of ruby throat is the only kind IT have’ ever seen.Being a close observer, and having done a great deal of hunting,I will give Mr.Linney my experience in finding humming birds’nests.About the year 1885 I was fishing on the Cathey creek,inthenorthernpartofMecklenburg county,and found the first hum- ming bird nest I ever saw.It was on a willow limb.The bird attract- ed my attention by flying off the nest.I then climbed up to where |eould see in the nest and found two tiny white ergs in it.In the year 1907,I was squirrel hunting one morning with a small rifle and found a humming bird nest on a large oak tabout 40 feet high)on a horizontal limb.I decided to shoot the limb off and bring it home for the rest of the family to see.The first shot cut the limh so that it hung down and.spill-ed two little white eggs on the ground and broke to pieces.I fired several more shots the splintered limb but was unable to cut it entire-ly off Last year (1916)my little boys and myself hnd the luck to find two nests in one summer,One was or aninetree,on a maple limb about 20 feet from the ground.The otheronewasonadovwoodaboutthe ame height I am sure they werehummingbirds’nests,for we saw the birds’fly off both nests,so wi did not bother them until the young had gone.Then we climbed up at one and cut off the limbs and now have the nests,with about one foot of the limbs,on our mantel board for orna- ments Il agree with Mr.Linney that eleven people out of a dozen will tell vou they Rave een many humming birds’nests if you ask them,and they think they are honest and truthful in saying so.But it is vers likely that some of them have mis iken some other kind of birds’nestsforhummingbirds’nests, Would be glad to read more ofMr.Linney’s letters on birds and an-imals.J.C.GUDGER. en|ee Want More Chaplains.

Ascendancy of the Allies. Decisive ascendancy for the alliesinthesupremetestofbattlektrengthnowtakingplaceonthebloodyfieldsofFlandersisclaimedbySecretaryBakerintheweeklyre-view of war operations issued by theWarDepartmentatWashington. While it may be premature to as- sert that the British war machinehasforcedadecisionovertheGer- mans,Mr.Baker says,the victories af the past fortnight,threatening the German submarine bases on the Belgian coast,are conclusive indica- tions of allied superiority.With fa- vorable weather he thinks these vie- tories will be repeated and extended. The review,which is for the week ended Yast night,makes no refer- ence to the American forces in France or to the great preparations for war going forward at home. Soldiers at Home.

SIMPLY COMMON SENSE. Instructions That Should HaveBeenObservedAllAlong. As the result of a recent interviewwithGen.Crowder,provostGov.Bickett advises local and dis-trict exemption boards that they mustascertainiftheregistranthadhereto-fore supported his wife and childrenbyhisownlabor;whether or not thewifeandhusbandhavepropertysuf-ficient to support the family while thehusbandisinmilitaryservice.If itisfoundthathehasbeensuthefamilyandthatthereisnot-cient property for su thenregistrantisentitoexemunlessitisfoundthattheeitherthehusbandorthewife areableandwillingtosupporttheregis-trant’s family while he is in the serv- ice.If there is this willingness as well as ability,then the registrant isnotentitledtodischarge.The Governor advises that theserulesbeobservedinfutureandthat with reference to cases heretoforepassedon,if these rules have not been observed,that the cases be reportedtotheadjutantgeneralinorderthat he may,if he deems tt advisable,or- der a reopening of the cases.The Landmark had supposed that these rules had been observed all along.Certainly they should have been,as it would be contrary to com- mon sense to send a man to the armywhohadrealdependents,people whowouldbeleftwithoutsupportbyhis going,and to keep a man out of the army simply because he was marriedorhadafamily,when he did not suprorthisfamilyorwasnotneededfor its support,would also be contrary tecommonsense.

But it showed a very interesting re- sult due to the increase of the ma- terial forces of the allies and the im-preved French fighting methodssinceadoptedbytheotherarmies, and also,as festified by the Germanstaffitself,apropos of the battle oftheSomme,in explaining their de-"eat ‘to the perfect use of technical methods.’.. “If the above comparison is ex- tended today to the entire Franco- Snglish front,if you consider thatfromApril15toJune15theenemy engaged 108 divisions against theAnglo-French forces,and,finally,if one bears in mind that the suc-cesses of the British offensive atYpresobligedtheenemytoengage15divisionsduringthelast10days,you can understand why the German losses on the western front rrowheavierandheavier.(They admit the loss of 116,000 men during the month of May;140,000 men are esti- mated by the allied staff during the fighting on front,as a matter of fact,_practically never ceases.Whether in the French sectors ofVerdunortheAisne,or in the En«-lish sectors of Arras and Ypres,the!fighting is only discontinued at one!point to be taken up at another.In| addition to the big attacks,a quanti-ty of carefully prepared smal!ac-tions which have been crowned withsuecessandofwhichthebulletins are not able to give a clear idea,in-crease the attrition of the Germans.“This constant activity,coincidingwiththeweaknessandinactionoftheRussians,also explains why theGermansareobligedtomaintain,and succeed in effectually maintainging,three times larger forces on theFrenchfrontthanontheRussian front.It is known that the Russian winter practically puts a stop to allactiveoperations,and that the reac- tion of the internal events in Russia| on the eastern front has allowed Ger- m@fiv to consider it during fourmonthsasa_veritable reserve forthewesternfront.Not content withdecliningtogivebattleand with-drawing a portion of their front on the Hindenburg position,the Ger-man general staff has transported tothewesternfront.between JanuaryandApril,a certain number of divis- ions drawn from the eastern front.As this did not suffice,they have drawn the picked men from each of their companies on the eastern frontandwiththeassistanceoftheclassof1918haveformed27newdivis-ions,26 of which have appeared in France. “However,in “This is because thethewestern spite of using all these methods,of which the latter have only been possible this yearluetothetroublemadebytheRus- sian revolution,Germany has madehersuprememilitaryeffort.The!

Now the community fair Saturday was made possible by these farmers ioining forees with the settlement and combining their resources in) making an exhibit of purely agricul- varal =products.A mighty nice’ voung fellow named Padgett was nesing around in his corn field and ‘on across a pumpkin nestled down in the grass.It was a little bigger, he thought,than the other pump- kins.so he took .it to the fair.It weighed 79 vounds and took.first prize.Mr.Turner Jennings started to the fair and en route gathered -ome fruit from his orchard.The va- ‘jetics,as well as I can recall,were Royal Limbertwigs,Magnumbonum and Ren Davis apples,and a late fall veach.He didn't go over his com- mercial orchard,selecting the finest specimens,but just picked off some ood average specimens.The ap- ples were as fine as one would sec in ‘any of the great Western apple shows,where all due care is taken ‘9 select only such specimens as ould make the best score.His Bo- |-ums were especially fine.while the ivghel of peaches were the finest I ever saw in October.. Thev tell it on Mr.G.Wes.Baity ‘hat his farm animals have no ribs, leastwise nobody has ever seen or felt a rib in anv of his animlas.He is a corking good farmer,they sav, and raises corn at a cost of ten cents a bushel,while his soybeans and oats lack just a little mite of costing ‘him anything at all The high price of corn doesn’t worry him.He just plasters it on his equines,kine and swine,till they look like pictures| vou see on cattle powder posters. One of his beautiful colts weighed 1,000 pounds at 18 months,and caught a blue ribbon.His 8-weeks’- old Berkshires shot up the beam at 65 pounds.These were royal blue- blooded Dollarmark Berkshires,with a lineage reaching back to the davs when Queen Victoria was a_little rirl.They were bred in the purple up there in the fastnesses of upper Iredell,and I'll bet their equals will not be seen at any State fair in the South this year..

THE BIGGEST SLACKERS. In the canvass for the sale of Lib- erty bonds not a few men have beenfoundwhohadmoneyatinterest, were not in debt,were well fixed-— not wealthy butpendent—who insisted,becausetheydidn’t have much ready moneyonhand,that they couldn't buy bonds.Few of these men purpose to be “slackers”or to fail in their obligatien to the country.Theysimplyhavenotbeenawakenedtothenecessitiesofthecaseandtotheirdutytothecountry.It is time that such people were aroused.Theirexampleishurtful.Men of that type can buy bodtheywanttowithoutmakingasac- rifice,and they should know thatthepublicknowsitandtheywillberatec———and the rating will be handed down to unborn gen-erations,who will hear that their ancestors failed to answer the coun-try’s call in its hour of need.The man who can buy bonds with-out sacrifice and who refuses,is a far greater slacker than the man who runs away from military serv-ice;and the man who can buy bonds,even at the sacrifice of a few dollars,and who refuses,is a greater slacker than the deserter from the army. The deserter,universally execrated, has cause to fear death or bedily in- jury.And despicable as he is,he isnotintheclasswiththemanwhore-fuses financial aid to the govern- ment when he could give the aid with financial benefit to himself,oratmostwiththesacrificeofafew dollars This is Landmark challenges denial of logic. the PE IES Food Administrator Hoover makes it clear that food prices are now higher than necessary,in some linesatleast,and he thinks the retailer istakingmorethanhisshareofprof- its.The food control law does not give the food administrator authori- ty to reach small dealers.This mustbedone,he says,by public senti- ment.There is no question butthereisunreasonableprofiteeringin many lines of necessities outside of food.The war gives the excuse toputonanextrapriceandmany there be who take advantage of the opportunity.That is human nature.If conscience troubles and some of them seemingly have no conscience the excuse is,“Others do it,why not 1°?By no means all dealers are exacting unreasonable profits and itwouldbeunfairtoputthemallin that class.But teo many of them are and it is up to the consumer to buy carefully and with diserimina- tion;not to give the price asked ev- ery time without question RIA BPcer ADEN CUES rs “The North Caroline cotton mill men were soaked pretty heavily on the war tax on excess profits,”re- creditors,|marks the Charlotte Observer,“butNeither|never mind about that.Those same is ove called on to buy bonds if his|mill men have come into the open is entirely absorbedsupportofhisfamily can doe financially. er is ableto buy atnein plies SRL EN a The destruction of the transport Antilles,by a.with a loss of abouisthefirstsevereblowA bond his duty if he doesn't. is clear no criticism ’in the {market as buyers of the Libert in reasonable| comfort.But every individual knows!mill men know,are a i He|ment;and they knowinhisownconsciencewheth-|that if the bonds.”The bonds,the good invest-furthermore are not They have.

The latest advices concerning the naval activity in the Gulf of Riga, between the Germans and the Rus- sians,show that although the Rus- sians lost the battleship Slava and a large torpedo boat destroyer,the Germans were the heaviest losers. @wo of their dreadnaughts,one cruts- er,12 torpedo boats,one transport and numerous mine sweepers were put out of action by the Russian fieet.While the exact fate of these vessels has not been ascertained bythePetrogradgovernment,it is an-mounced that at least six of the Ger- man destroyers were sunkFurtherGermanattempts to landforcesontheEsthoniancoasttothenorthofWerderhavebeenrepulsedbyRussiandetachments.With that sort of activity,theRussianfeetshouldbeablesoontoseriouslycrippleGermany's sea.Ht sounds almost too goodtobet Cost For Family of Five.
