DUPONTS PLAN TO
SAVE BIRD LIFE.
Dr. Harry J. Donaldson, member of
the Pennsylvania State Game Com-
mission, made announcement of the
plans of the Dupont company to turn
all the acreage it owns in connection
wit hits twelve plants in this State in-
to game sanctuaries.
The cost will be thousands of dol-
lars and all will be born by the com-
pany without one cent of expense to
the State or the people.
The company intends to build fenc-
es where necessary around the lands
surrounding its plants, it will patrol
all these lands, clean out the vermin
and erect thousands of bird boxes to
encourage insectivorous bird life as
an aid to agriculture, and will also
stock the lands with game birds to aid
in the propagation of this kind of
birds.
The work as planned is the most im-
portant piece of bird life protection
ever suggested by a private company.
It is not confined to this State alone,
but Pennsylvania will profit greatly
by reason of the company’s large land
holdings in this State.
The Duponts became interested in
this work by their activity to rid
certain sections of the crow pest. In
their investigations, in which they
iled-
were assisted by Dr. B. H. Warren,
of West Chester, they discovered that
the insectivorous bird, one of the far-
mer’s greatest friends, was losing the
balance of power and as a conse-
quence of the discovery they deter-
mined to engage in this splendid pro-
tective work.

TWENTY-NINTH OR THIRTIETH.
Is Calvin Coolidge the twenty-ninth
President of the United States, or is
he the thirtieth? The country seems
to be unanimous upon the proposition
that he is the one or the other, with
the general concensus of opinion lean-
ing toward the latter.
The answers depend upon what one
means by the expression “President
of the United States.” If one and the
same person can be two Presidents,
Calvin Coolidge is the thirtieth; but
if by the President of the United
States is meant one who has filled the
office, each person so honored being
R. | counted but once, President Coolidge
is the twenty-ninth Chief Magistrate.
If one writes the names of the
Presidents, including Coolidge, on
separate cards and counts them, there
will be twenty-nine. If the list is ar-
ranged alphabetically and counted,
twenty-nine names will be found.
That ought to settle the question un-
less by “President of the United
States” something out of the ordinary
is meant.
Washington was the first President;
Jackson was the seventh; Tyler was
the tenth; Lincoln, the sixteenth; Gar-
field, the twentieth; Benjamin Harri-
son, the twenty-third. Up to the end
of the administration of the second
Harrison there had never been any
confusion as to how many Presidents
had ruled the country. Harrison was
followed by Cleveland who already
had served a term in the White House.
There has been a disposition on the
part of the newspapers ever since, to
treat him as though he were twins
and to count him as two Presidents,
when he really was but one, unless
one gives the word “President, a
strained and unnatural meaning.
If we count Presidents the country
has had twenty-nine, including Cool-
idge. If we count administrations, in-
cluding that of Coolidge, and desig-
nate each term or fraction of a term
served by any man as an administra-
tion, we are now entering upon the
fortieth.
Already the conflict is beginning to
show on monuments and tablets. In
some cases McKinley is referred to as
the twenty-fourth and in others as
the twenty-fifth. Roosevelt in some
records is referred to as the twenty-
fifth and in others as the twenty-
sixth. No doubt similar contradic-
tions will appear in connection with
all our Presidents since Cleveland un-
less by general consent among news-
papers and writers, there is agree-
ment as to the facts. Some day Con-
gress, by act, may refer to Harding
or Roosevelt or some other as certain
President by number and thus settle
the matter. Until that is done, each
is free to follow his own rule.
We prefer to designate the present
incumbent as the twenty-ninth Pres-
ident of the United States. If he
were to say “twenty-eight men have
preceded me in this high station” he
would speak the truth. He would be
in error were he to say “twenty-nine
men have preceded me in this high
station.” Those who see references
to Calvin Coolidge as the thirtieth
President of the United States natur-
ally assume that twenty-nine other
men have held that office, when only
twenty-eight others have filled the po-
sition.
The twenty-nines seem to have it.—
Exchange.
Highway Men Ordered to Protect All
Trees.
Division and district engineers in
the employ of the Department of
Highways have been instructed by the
department heads that they must be
zealous in protecting trees on the
right of way during construction. A
letter sent to these employees says:
“You will appreciate that it is of
the utmost importance that no trees
shall be cut down in connection with
highway improvements unless it is
absolutely necessary. Plan your work
in such a manner as to take full ad-
vantage of shade trees. In working
up your construction plans where
shade trees of considerable growth
can be saved without interfering with
proper alignments and with due re-
gard to proper construction, this must
be done. There is no excuse whatever
for any trees being unnecessarily de-
stroyd or injured during the progress
of the work.”
Clothing Prices Higher.
Investigations made by the Depart-
ment of Labor show that the present
prices of clothing are about 75 per
cent. above those prevailing in 1913.
The exepnditure of the average fam-
ily for clothing in 1923 it is stated,
will be about 2 per cent. more than it
was in 1922. There was a consider-
able increase in 1922 over 1921.
There were advances in the prices
of woolens and worsteds for men’s
and women’s clothing last spring and
additional increases are to be made
in these fabrics for next autumn and
next spring. The high “protection”
voted to the Wool trust by the last
Republican Congress is being gradu-
ally but surely added to the cost of
clothing.

Embargo on Fruit Imports Imposed.
A general embargo on the importa-
tion of fruits and vegetables into the
United States, except from Canada,
has been announced by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace, to become ef-
fective November 4.
The embargo was imposed to pre-
vent the importation into this country
of fruit and melon flies, which have
been reported to the department as
ravaging fruit-producing countries of
Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico, Central
and South America.

A Bellefonte Man
Gives Evidence
His Testimony Will Interest Every
Bellefonte Reader.
The value of local evidence is in-
disputable. It is the kind of evidence
we accept as true because we know
we can prove it for ourselves. There
has been plenty of such evidence in
the Bellefonte papers lately, and this
straightforward testimony has estab-
lished a confidence in the minds of
Bellefonte people that will not be eas-
ily shaken.
Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E.
Bishop St., Bellefonte, says: “I suf-
fered for a long time with backache
and kidney complaint. My back ach-
ed so badly I could hardly keep on the
job. It was hard for me to do heavy
lifting or sawing. My kidneys acted
too often at times and the secretions
were scanty and highly colored. I
used Doan’s Kidney Pills from the
Parrish Pharmacy and they helped me
so much I kept on using them. My
back is now well and strong and I am
free from the trouble.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
