State authorities have made a dili [gent search and city omcers have taken a hand. The State authorities just now are not discouraged for they are reported to be in possession of some material which may lead them |in the right direction. A net is grad ually being woven and unless the clues prove entirely false, some arrests may be expected within the next twenty four or forty-eight hours. Search is being made for the where abouts of a certain automobile, on the night of the fires. The machine was seen leaving the Vernon building but (the parties who noticed it did not think to catch the number on the li cense tag. A machine answering the description of the one seen at the Vernon school, is reported to have been in one of the narrow streets at the rear of the Allison building on Xorth Fourteenth street shortly after the alarm was sounded for the fire at the Shimmell building and it is be lieved that the firebugs had that build ing on their list. That neighborhood is very thickly populated and it may have been that the firebugs were scar ed away before they could accomplish itheir purpose. No evidence of any at tempt to enter the Allison building, however, has been reported. Children Back at Books Children of the Vernon school this morning resumed their studies in the Shimmell building. The fire which gutted their building caused them only five days' loss.

FARMERS SHOULD PROTECT BIRDS Dr. Kalbfus Gives Some Earn est Talks to the State Board Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the State Game Commission and ornitholo gist of tlio State Board of Agriculture, opened the second day of the annual meeting of the board to-day with a report in which he called on farmers to realize the true relation of the birds to the farm and to take steps to pro tect and conserve the wild birds for their own benefit. "The farmer is not neighbor to tho birds. I know of but few farmers, unless thoy are also sportsmen, who have ever done one thing to at tract the birds. On the other hand, they have done much to injure or drive them away," said the State's game ofli eial. Dr. Kalbfus urged that bird houses be built on farms to take tin places of old frees which had to be cut down or to be cemented in modern tree surgery and that farmers feed the wild birds, especially quail, in win ter. The speaker said that the "farm er's cat, it is estimated, kills at least sixty songbirds every season" and that "crows are permitted to hatch and increase everywhere, for the farmer never thinks of the crow except when he is pulling corn, and for destroying birds the crow beats the cat out of sight." The speaker also save his opinion of some two-legged birds, which, he said, were causing the farmer more loss than anything else, instancing' the middleman who gets the real profit on the milk and cream and on many things which the farmers raise. A call was Issued to the next legis lature to enact legislation which would define the status of the State Board of Agriculture and a committee of five named to draft a bill with that object. This action was taken at the instance of J. Aldus Herr, of Lancas ter, and Mr. Herr, P. S. Fenster macher, Frank ltank, E. A. Stud holme and R. J. Weld were named as the committee. The morning was devoted to hear ing reports and discussion of the propositions for establishing rural credits so ably brought out last night by Congressman Balph W. Moss, of Indiana, and the development of ag ricultural education, which was the theme of Prof. L. H. Dennis, agricul tural expert, in his splendid lecture on the subject in the hall of the House last night. Both men were highly complimented by members for their talks. The resolution from Mr. Herr created somewhat of a breeze. It was as follows: "It is a matter of com mon knowledge that the existence of the State Board of Agriculture on sev eral occasions has been threatened and even its abolition determined upon, therefore in view of tho fact that during the trying periods of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Col lege and In the early days of the De partment of Agriculture, when both of these institutions needed defenders, boosters and assistance, this Board, because of the character, stability and reputation of its members for honor able and fair dealing with farmers of the State was able to obtain appro priations for the maintenance of both of these institutions which to-day stand as monuments to its wisdom Therefore, with so splendid a record of achievement and that these bene fits may be continued and even en hanced, I move that a committee of five members of this board be ap pointed by the chairman to draft a bill for presentation at the Legislature of 1917, defining the duties and au thorities of the members of the Board in the counties they represent and es tablish a direct relation between the State Board and the Department of Agriculture and defining the author ity to be exercised by the members of the Board with the Department and that this committee shall report to this board at the next actual meeting." B. Frank Wambold, of Selleneville speaking on poultry, said the average Pennsylvania farmer is now giving much attention to poultry raising, but he is not nearly so much interested in the production of fancy stock as ho once was. The farmer is now devot ing himself to poultry fqr egg and food production and breeding is con sidered mostly from these stand points. Mr. Wambold said that tho new cold storage law limiting the period In which eggs may be kept in storage has increased the fresh egg supply and kept down prices by caus ing storage eggs to be marketed at ds when fresh eggs are scarcest. The State Board of Agriculture this afternoon passed resolutions endors ing the State Constabulary and rec ommending an increase in the force asking for larger appropriations for the Department of Agriculture and State College, calling for the exten sion of farmers' institutes and similar work, for the amendment of the State game laws to provide for a closed sea son for quail and fixing the deer shooting season for the period be tween November 1 to November 15.
