This cocky little fellow has actually become a fast friend of the Canadian National trackmen. Attracted by the sound of their track motor car or by the ring of their hammers on the steel rails, the little partridge seldom fails to join the crew for a visit. This partridge has a mind of his own, too, because he absolutely will not allow any of the trackmen to handle him. They can look, but that’s all. If they try to touch him, he uses his sharp little beak to good advantage. In the picture above left, the young partridge sits on a rail to be admired by a sectionman. The bird will not fly on to the track speeder, but if the men place a stick or a branch so as to form a ramp, he will walk up the improvised ramp (upper right) and s actually settle himself down (lower right) for a ride over the Canadian National near his forest home.

Farmers Advised On Demanding Any Allotment Change A free public Bible discourse will be delivered this Sunday: November 12, 3:00 p. m. at the home of Paul Warren, 306 S. Webb Street. Selma on the sub ject, “True Riches—How Obtain ed?” by G. D. Miller, minister of Tehovah’s witnesses from Brook lyn, N. Y. This discourse is part of-, a world wide home Bible educational work now sponsored by Jehovah’s wit nesses to encourage more study of the Bible in private homes of per sons of all beliefs. While the wit nesses have central meeting places yet most of their preaching ac tivities is carried on from house to house. Jehovah’s witnesses endeavor to literally copy Jesus’ primitive manner of preaching “publicly and from house to house” in order to follow his example accurately. Thus, too, they contact many peo ple v/ho are seldom, if ever, con tacted by anyone else interested in their spiritual welfare. The non-denominational Bible educational work of Jehovah’s witnesses has spread all over the earth and is now carried on in 106 different lands by more than 370,- 000 active workers. They are said to be one of the fastest growing Bible educational organizations of modern times. The witnesses firmly believe that we are now living in “the last days” and that the destructive, powers of God will soon sweep through the earth to completely annihilate all forms of wicked ness. That total world destruction) is called the “Battle of Armaged don,” and only the righteous will be saved from its fury. Putting this belief into action the witnesses have set forth on a well-organized campaign through out the earth to warn all people about this coming world calamity Thus, they call upon rich and poor alike, educated and illiterate, and persons of all nationalities ’ and beliefs, and endeavor to stimulate and encourage more study of the Bible and then living according to its high principles. This wmek Jehovah’s witnesses are visiting the many residents of Selma and vicinity with a person al friendly invitation for all to hear the timely Bible talk Sunday “True Riches—How Obtained’’’’ which is free of charge.

The Benson Lumber Com pany of Benson, was the highest bidder. The majority of the trees in thi tract were neither mature or over mature. In the selection of the trees to be harvested the forester took particular care to leave, in addition to the thrifty fast grow ing young pine averaging 12 to 14 inches in diameter, at least three sound seed trees per acre whose crowns were well shaped and pos sessed an abundance of pine cones to.furnish seed for future cutting. Mr. Lee can now expect periodic cuttings from this same tract of timber. We can think of his re maining thrifty fast growing 12 and 14 inches trees as a ve ry| sound investment. Through observation and actual field studies foresters have found that under proper thinning and sawlog cutting practices the time required for a tree to grow from a seedling to 10 inches in diameter is practically identical to the time required for the same pine to grow .from 10 to 20 inches in diameter. That additional 10 inch es in diameter is an increase of almost seven times the number of board feet or a compound inter est rate of 7 to 10 per cent.
