BIRD NOTES Jamee Thome delighted the other members of , the Bird Club Saturday, with a selection regarding Bok's Tower, called "the moat -beautiful spot in America." This Bird Sanctuary and Singing Tower is the canter of Mountain Lake Park in Florida. Far from the noises of automobiles and industries, it Is a place of quiet repose eerijoyed alike by people and birds. There are fifty bird baths used by the birds for <ttjn)dng and bathing. * Some thirty varieties of birds are habitually there and some remain all winter. Nightingales were imported fro pi England and the bells, seventy one in number, were cast there and sent direct from Liverpool to Jacksonville. A special train of flatcars carried the bells to Mountain Late with an escort of police and railroad employees. .With its numerous lakes, sylvan' setting, and the music of the carillons, abd the^ kinging of the birds, it is truly a place where as the motto of the Sanctuary describes it; "I come here to find myself; jt is so easy to get lost in the world." The Tower was erected by Edward W. Bok, simply to create symbols of pure beauty, and as a means to spread, the influence and power of beauty, and as an expression qf his appreciation and gratitude to the American people. President Coolidge went to Florida to dedicate the Sanctuary and the Singing Tower and to present them for visitation to the American people. It is the "Taj 'Mahal of America." < .Jess Spencer and Ottis Pate, Jr., wire welcomed as new members. STATE7'! ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS - ■aSSK S QUESTION; Where may edfcle soybean seed be sold?
