..Editor The Citizen: I wU glad to
see your editorial In Saturday's paper
on Protect-the Birds."- If -thelt1
tens of Asheville wished to make the
town more attractive one of the wisest
things they could do would be to pro
tect the birds, and if there Is no ordi
nance to do this, the sooner one is
enacted the better.
The beautiful red cardinal, made fa
mous by James Lane Allen's "Ken
tucky Cardinal," Is a delight to us In
Its gorgeous plumage, and cheers us
with Its whistle.
The bluebird, which has almost de
sert- the north, because so many
women have desired It dead In their
bonnets, is willing to nest near the
houses here . and rid one's orchards of
Insects. The fly catcher and th mag-.
nlflcent red-headed woodpecker; the
Carolina wren, that would make a de
spondent man cheerful with Its merry
song; the hermit thrush, or American
nightingale, singing, as we have heard
it, between 10 and 11 o'clock at night;
the handsome blue Jay, Who scolds a
good deal, it Is true, but whose song
notes are liquid and brimful of hap
piness; the catbjrd, that saves its
sweet song for the dark close branches
of the trees and perchs aloft when
screeching at other birds; the robin,
with Its night plaint and early morn
ing minor strain and Its cheerful day
song; the shy American cuckoo, hiding
among the leaves while its queer not
pussies one; the doves; the juncoes;
the vesper-sparrow, and many other
deserveable sparrows, for only the
Ungllsh sparrow seems to be leagued
with the small boy In Its desire for
destruction and the driving away of
mg birds all these are here, and one
delights In them and learns dally from
tiem until suddenly small boys, shot
guns, sling shots, dash away Joy In a
ir.dfnent. The bird lies dead, the nest
r fled.
We have no redress, for by law Ashe
IIIe, with these magnificent birds,
Ii.any of them so rare elsewhere, does
not protect them. We put water out
In tins under the trees to coax the
songsters, and we put up little bird
houses to urge them to stay, yet a
tone's throw from the house I have
seen a dosen boys at once shooting
at the birds. Last year we notified
th police, but it seemed to have the
effect of more boys and more guns.
I am sure that the board of alder
men can have no objection to passing
an ordinance fur the protection of our
birds. If the president of the United
States is only the servant of the peo
ple, surely the Asnevlllc board of al
dermen are also willing to serve their
cttliens, and push inn such an ordi
nance will add to the attractiveness of
the city, and we are all interested in
that.
GEORGE TRUMAN ttERCHEVAL.
From the Chadbourn Messenger.
For ths past few weeks everything
here has been full of life and activity.
If there Is anything In the world that
Will prompt people to action, It Is the
hope of reward. "Money makes the
mare go." Everybody has been busy
and have been amply rewarded for
their labor.
This strawberry crop has furnished
employment" T6?"alSoul 2000"' persons'
and both employers and employes have
made good money. The average picker
has made over a dollar a day, and tha
growers have realized at least f 100 net
on every acre of berries up to this
.me, and the outlook for marketing
th entire crop at good prices Is now
fair.
There has been one drawback among
some of the growers, that of not hav
ing a sufficient number of hands to
pick over in a day. This can easily be
accounted for, from the fact that a
large number of those who have here
tofore harvested the crop this season
have berries of their own. To guard
against this next season the growers
should build comfortable quarters on
their farms for pickers and then begin
in time to secure them. There I are
hundreds of people that would beglad
to work through the berry season, but
living at too great a distance" to go
home at night, and the growers not
being prepared to take car of them,
they have to decline the Idea. This is
a very important matter, and is one
that should receive the attention of ev
ery grower. Raising berries is an ex
pensive business, and all that are not
picked at the oroper time means th
loss of actual dollars.
Business here tor the past few days
has been simply Immense. The mer
chants have all added clerks to .their
forcer an 3 They all haVeTeen busy as
beavers.
WITH THE BRETHREN.
THE CHOIR LEADER.
From the Raleigh Christian Advocate.
A certain brother, seemingly excited,
came to us a few days ago and reveal
ed the fact that he actually saw a
choir leader bow his head while the
congregation was supposed to be In
prayer. It was a startling statement,
but we suppose It was true. At least we
hope so.
LCST JUG, BUT KEPT JAG.
From the Brevard News.
A jug is not a very necessary adjunct
-of church worship on Sunday; t)Ut"'wfr
learn that some boys from the vicinity
of Brevard took one to Little River
last Sunday. They lost the jug on the
road, but reached the church
very large Jag.

GOT A PULL.
From the Brevard News.
A call has been Issued for SO per cent.
of the water subscriptions. This pu!s
us for $25 of pension money.
QUITE BECOMING.
From the Greensboro Record.
With time and patience the mulberry
leaf becomes silk, which in turn be
comes a woman.
A Skyscraper.
A VEGETABLE MEAT.
This truly wonderful food product is,
without question, the most remarkable
discovery in dietetics which has been
made within the last half century. A
vegetable food substance correspond
ing In composition to lean flesh, such
as beef or mutton, has long been
sought for, not only as a most desira
ble addition to the vegetarian bill of
fare, but as a diettetic necessity in that
very large class of cases In which flesh
foods are necessarily prohibited, or In
which their use 1b in the highest de
gree undesirable, as in chronic rheu
matism, Blight's disease, diabetes and
various nervous affections, and in af
factions of the liver, such as infectious
Jaundice and scleroBls. This vegetable
meat is called Protose.
It Is purely vegetable In character.
containing no. trace of animal sub
stance. It Is original beef. Its dis
covery was as great a surprise to those
conducting the investigation from
which It resulted and It has been to all
who have become acquainted with its
marvelous properties. It is a delicious
food product, containing 25 per cent,
more food elements than beef, and has
a taste that can hardly be distinguish
ed frTim flesh foods. Protose can be
served In any manner that flesh food
can be prepared.
