GET RECORD FOR SI.OO The editor of the Record has plen ned and schemed and toiled till he has enabled himself to get out the Record at a minimum cost. He has hoped to make some money out of the paper this fall and winter. But the low price of cotton has changed the aspect of things. However, the same financial headway enables us to help •Iter favorable circumstances to make .inancial headway enables us to help she paper retain its fine circulation and our subscribers to save a half dollar each. In short, seeing the situation as it is, low cotton following two short crop years, we have decided to put the price of the Record at $1 a year till cotton ises or something else puts a better :hase on the prospects of the people, .t is hard to have to do it, but if we jan get as much money at that price as at. the $1.50 price, we are willing to do the extra work. But, in view of the situation, will not our subscribers show a similar spirit, renew promptly, and tell other folk they can get the paper for a dol lar a year till further notice. Renew now. Latest Fad Biarritz, France. —The “latest cry” of fashion calls for the wearing of rubber earrings painted in bright col ors. Feed no Rodents Dr. A. K. Fisher, who by the way, is our leading authority on the life history of the hawks and owls, states “examination of 200 pellets taken from the roost of a pair of barn owls in a tower of the Smithsonian insti tution at Washington, showed a total of 454 skulls, of which 225 were meadow mice, 2 pine mice, 179 house mice. 20 rats. 6 jumping mice, 20 shrew. 1 star-nosed mole and but one vesper sparrow. It would be difficult to find any wild creature that could be any more bene- j ficial around a farming community than these birds.

Washington.—Walter Fry, in charge of the National Guide Service, Sequoia National park, in a recent bulletin of the American Game Protective associa tion, says that the California condor is now making its last fight for life, and declares that only quick aid will save the species. He offers the following suggestions: “1* Laws to make It a felony to kill a condor or take eggs for a period of 20 years. “2. Laws making it a misdemeanor for any person to put out poisoned bait of any kind, except that which has been certified for use by the prop er authorities. “3. Signs posted in conspicuous places throughout Hie state by Audu bon societies and other interested or ganizations, carrying a colored picture of the bird, with printed copies of the laws for its protection. “4. When condors are seen in any part of the state, the observer should be requested to Immediately notify the California fish and game commission ers of the birds’ presence, giving date seen, locality and number of birds seen.” Largest of Vultures. The California condor is the largest of the vulture family. In fact, It is probably the largest flying bird in the world. It is heavily built, weighs about 20 pounds, and is about four feet long, with a wing spread of from ten to twelve feet. Its hare neck is like a turkey’s. The huge bird flies grace fully and soars for hours almost with out flapping its wings. It is a scav enger, eating only carrion. While the California condor has not I been found nesting in the Sequoia Na- ' tional park, this giant of the air has \ been a casual visitor to the park since j the first arrival of white settlers in J 1856. Mr. Fry says: “Before the arrival of white men in California, the condor had little to fear. The first death trap for the condor was man with firearms. It was a great event to kill one of the*e giant navigators of the air, for they were hold and came within easy rifle range. Man’s next destructive effort was to obtain eggs of the wonderful bird to accompany his specimen. Then came the custom of the sheepmen of putting out poison baits in the car casses of sheep. “No doubt thousands of condors met their deaths through eating poison. For many years there were no restric tions placed on the methods of poi soning or what kinds of poison could be used. “The bird is now making its last fight for life. Unless some action Is taken to save the modern roc it will join the dodo and the great auk as a legend instead of a living example of the Creator’s handiwork. This mon strous bird is the product of nature working through the ages for thou sands or millions of years. The de struction of the species thus deprives i the earth of a wonderful organism which m> humrn power can ever again \ restore. Little Hope for Them. “Even under the present laws for i their protection I can see no chance for a survival of the condor. Poison will do its work. They are now on the very verge of extermination. It is doubtful if there are 100 individual birds living today. Every friend of birds and of the picturesque in nature should come to the rescue of the con ; dor before it is too late. “On November 27, 1025, there was ! unveiled at the Lps Angeles Museum ' of History, Science and Art a large : mural painting of prehistoric animals, ! birds and other creatures of California. The paintings were based on skeletons dug from the La Brea asphalt pits ' near Los Angelos. Among the pictures I are those of giant vultures with a wing spread of 2feet, sabre-toothed tigers, giant ground sloths, huge wolves, imperial elephants with huge curved tusks, wild horses, caihols and California lions twice the size of the present-day African lion. “In the process of evolution this ter rible if interesting fauna doubtless had ! to give way or man might not he here *today. But in the condor we have, perhaps, the last great bird of the Pleistocene age. just a.s the giant se quoias jire the surviving specimens of a mammoth vegetation of a past geolog ical period. The California condor is not only harmless —it is useful and highly picturesque. Let’s stive this , | modern roc, every sight of which con- j jures up the tale of Sinbad the Sailor ! in the ‘Arabian Nights.’ ” — Siler Citv is building a two-story brick city building.
