To Choose Between Chickadee
And Red Winged Black Bird As
State’s Official Bird-Vote On It
• i JZllher ' the chickadee or the ret
winged black bird Is to receive the
honor of being nominated Mute
bird of North Carolina. Other
states have alrencly chosen thei
state birds. Kentucky, of course,
chose the cardinal; Louisiana has
long had the pelican; Florida the
mocking bird; Virginia the robin;
New York the blue bird; IliinoL,
the quail; Smith' Carolina the cat
bird; Kansas the meadow lark:
District of Columbia the weed
thrush; Ohio the wren.
Our national bird is the eagle,
though many people think that p
bird of prey Should not be the sym
bol of our peace loving nation.
North Carolina seems to have no
more representative bird than the
chickadee. Many children will re
ran the nursery rhyme about "Lit
tle Tommy Tlttlernouse” who "live
in a little house.” The chickadee
belongs to the Titmouse family,
which contains a large number of
species scattered widely over the
northern hemisphere, and which
arc highly serviceable to civilized
mankind
A hole in a decayed birch stump
two or three feet from tile ground
a knot hole in an old apple tree, r
fence post, the deserted home of
- Rome woodpecker way be selected
- by the .chlckadoc for its home. The
eggs vary somewhat in color, but
are comwon|y. white, spotted with
brown or finely marked
With a paler shade.
Chickadee is a very attractive
’TiUsfcfihtf: ‘ 'often Visiting his man
while she is sitting on her eggs and
relieving her of a part of this hon
of hy tPwflng Tier while on the
nest.
Although he is. no fly catcher, the
chickadee takes insects on the wins?
with case and often catches in the
air those which fall from the trees
or from his own clutch. He has
been seen to reach ufter a flying
Insect, spring back downward,
catch it in the air, and turning a
-somersault alight on a branch be
low. Every pose passible to a bird
in a tree is taken by our little ac
robat. His head turns quickly from
bide to side, his wings and his lull
flirt this way and that, as he turns,
twists, pecks and peers in pursuit
of the insects which form the
greater part of his food. But he is
not by any means confined to the
woods. He visits the orchards and
the shade trees, picks up crumbs
at the farmhouse door, enters the
woodshed, picks out borers from the
fire wood, and helps himself to the
bacon that the farmer uses to
grease his buck-saw.
Probably no bird is more benefi
cial to mankind than is this little
fellow. He lives very largely on in
sects destructive to trees. Even in
the winter more than half his food
consists of infccts or their eggs.
Red-Winged Black Bird.
The redwing is a well known in
habitant of needy marshes almost
throughout North America. In dif
ferent regions it varies slightly in
size, form and color. The male, in
his glassy black plumage with
scarlet shoulders. with yellowish
edge, is congruous about his
haunts and if these are invaded he
greets the intruder with loud cries
of protest. The female is streaked
with no red and is smaller than the
male. The redwing is about nine
inches long.
In wet and marshy places flocks
of redwings are easily found, ‘they
nest in colonies, and the deep, welt
woven nests are placed on the
ground or in low reds and bushes
in the marshes. The four or five
eggs are bluish white curiously
scrawled with black.
- Their food consists mostly of in
sects, such as weevils, grasshoppers,
dragonflies, ants, wasps, bugs and
spider, but they eat some seed.
The redwing is a permanent resi
dent, except in the mountains
where it Is a summer visitor. His
song is a rich "o-ka-lee," often
given as he sails downward with

Wet Toll.
Washington. Nov. 25 Congress
ional Democrats this week sought
to sidetrack prohibition in favor of
(lie economic program as the con
troversial wet and dry issue again
threatened trouble within the par
ty.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, announced
after a series of conferences with
party lieutenants In Congress that
no prospect for substantial change
in the prohibition law was in pros
pect, because of the makeup of
Congress. He would focus attention
on the. vital economic issues, he
said.
About, the same time Chairman
.John J Rnskob was calling the
Democratic National Committee to
meet In Janurry. He intends then
to announce the results of his poll
on prohibition.
Mr. Rnskob was taken to task tay
Senator Robinson at the committee
meeMng Inst March for injecting
the prohibition issue; His announce
ment of a poll of the contributors
to the Democratic 1928 campaign
chest on the liquor question was
noted with some concern by the
prrty leaders on cnpitol hill.
Opposition Seen.
Mr. Robinson's declaration this
week that the party in Congress
was not going to submerge econom
ic problems for prohibition was In
terpreted as the answer of the con
gresrlonal Democrats opposing the
Raskob prohibitionmove. Mr. Ras
kob has asked the party to sanc
tion a platform for state liquor
control.
"I am still of the opinion that
tlie paramount subjects to be con
sidered by the congress relate to
economic questions, such as agricul
ture. taxation, unemployment, the
deficit in the treasury and other
rented vital problems," Senator
Robinson said.
• I do not wish to submerge or
obscure these by bringing forward
social problems such as that per
taining to prohibition. In view of
the present membership of both
houses of the congress, no substan
tial change respecting prohibition
i may be expected
Mr. Raskob called the national
committee to meet on January 9
for its regular session to select ft
date and city for next year s nom
ination convention. He announced
that, the committee also would re?
I view the drive for funds and take
I such action as it "may desire on the
i unfinished business originated at.

Governor Pollard of Virginia as

Meanwhile, the national prohlbi-!

Edwin C. Dinwiddle, executive sec

Raskob poll is "a lawyers’ brief
against prohibition.
"This amazing domination of a!
party, this ability to use it for tlie
exploitation of personal whims, Is
unparalelled In American history,"
it continued. "It would not be pos
sible If the Democratic party were
not so heavily in debt to Uaskob.

German Remedy
Stops 30-Year
Constipation
"For 30 years X had a bad stomach
and constipation. Souring food from
stomach chokecj me. Since taking
Adlerika I am a new woman. Con
stipation is thing of the past."—
Alice Burns.
Most remedies reach only lower
bowel. That is why you must take
them often. But this simple German
remedy Adlerika washes out BOTH
upper and lower bowel. It brings
out all gases and rides you of poison
you would never believe was in your
system. Even the FIRST dose will
surprise you. Paul Webb and Son,
Druggist.
