Hints to Bird House Builders There are certain well defined ' rules which should be followed in bird "bungalow" building. Here is J what one builder has learned by long ^ pxDerience. "Wrens and bluebirds ^ require houses carefully designed to 1 * meet their requirements, if the build- a er is to retain them as tenants. These e birds never raise a second brood in ^ the same nest. Wrens raise two ^ broods each year; blue birds two and ^ often three. If a single compartment p ? house is provided you are liable to,c lose your tenants before the summer,0 is over. The wren and blue bird , houses have different sized holes, the j ^ wrens requiring a smaller hole than j the blue bird. Swinging houses are j good for these birds .because the Eng-. lish sparrow will not occupw a swing- ^ ing house.'' (From the Cypress Bird ^ Book). Anyone who is interested in building bird houses may obtain this; ^ book free from the Southern Cvpress. *] ' P Manufacturers association, Jacksonville, Fla. t] ? - - ? r -1 ....

These birds Ci also eat many other kinds of harmful Vi i insects and weed seeds. The English u sparrow, however, does more harm s< than pood by running other useful birds away and by damaging the J things we plant just as soon as they u peep above ground. He should be u pvt.erminated. ~ To All Scouts of Troop One L From now on all patrol leaders and assistants will be expected to help in , instructing the tenderfeet of their re- a spective patrols in the second class ^ requirements.

ESKIMO PIE HAS REACHED NEWBERRY Eskimo Pie, or chocolate coated ice cream has come to town. The confcction is new in Newberry and everywhere else for that matter, for it is the recent invention of Christian K. Nelson of Chicago. Nelson went to Chicago from Omaha fifteen months ago with 19 cents in his pocket. Today the 19 cents has grown to a steadily increasing fortune of six figures. It'll be well over a million ^T 1 ~~ ~ t noAni n fn v before :\eison pa\;> mo What did it? The idea. Nelson's idea was to cover a square of cold ice cream with a layer of hot chocolate, thus making a confection with real ice cream inside. He got that idea while he was mannrr;r?rr his father's ice cream plant out ***.?-> in Omaha, la. And he furthered it while he was studying chemistry at college. When he was graduated he peddled the idea around from ice cream factory to ice cream factory. Everybody laughed at him. "Cover cold ice cream with hot chocolate?
