“Hill’’ King, The Bird King East Michigan Man, Summer Neighbor of Judge Landis, Holds Assemblies of Wild Ruffed Grouse ■- ■ - - '- -■ (E. M. T. Service) ----- nr i ; Copyrighted, 1928 By- Joe Dermody ■ -in ''*•;Wi Stoy Br - Satwl —travel far to spend a day with* him.

IN an alluring seeting of wonder vegetation—the most prolific wild lower region of the World—an area •f pine, balsam, spruce, hemlock and amarack that supports a greater varety of birds than any' similar area inywhere in the temperate zone, iwells the year round in his hermitike cabin, “Bill” King, “The Bird <ing,” who. twice daily for the past 18 years has been holding assemblies >f wild partridges, rabbits, squirrels, ays and chickadees. In this section >f East Michigan, the historic region >f the Michillimackinac, where Chip-i >ewa and Sioux had their playgrounds jefore the coming of the French and British, Bill King, converted by the spirit of the region, has, through gen,le sympathy, won the confidence of he feathered and- furred forest folk so that morning and evening through>ut the year, they* enter the clearing vhich fronts his homgly habitat. To witness the assembly of grouse n King’s clearing is an unusual specacle —like a scene from Fairyland or he Story Book. It is a summer evenng. Dusk gathers atfd there is no sound of life. The environment is a narvelous diversity in nature's beauy where one walks but does not talk, where gentle breezes cooled by, the broad expanse of a blue lake purr gently through the trees. Suddenly there’ is a whirring sound and birds ire seen coming from all directions. They alight at the edge of the clearng and come forward in stately train their demeanor suggesting a repression and formality that, indicates respect for the occasion and their human friend. Frolicking among the oirds are rabbits, squirrels, jays and •hickadees. And here they banquet inafraid, taking kernels of grain from :he hand of their sympathetic friend. Scot by birth. King stowed on a ship as a boy and was thrown among the Indians by chance. He was borq June 17, 1862. He wedded the daughter of a Chippewa chief when he was 16 years of age. Today he lives with bis son Guy, aged 33, on the shore of Burt Lake, Cheboygan county, Michigan, just across the lake from Indian River, where he filed ‘a homestead in 1899. Qlose to King and his birds, the late General Lew Wallace author of “Ben Hur,” built his summer home, ind Bill’s next' door neighbor in sur&ner Is Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lan-

dis, jurist and high commissioner of baseball. In this immediate section was discovered a few years ago the home of that rarest of .American songbirds—the Kirtland Warbler., East Michigan is the limited breeding place of this rara avis—the Holy Grail of the ornithologist. King’s cabin is located in the heart of the summer-playground and scores of the thousands who visit this recreational region, Nature lovers who have heard of King’s power to commune with these forest folk, travel far to spend a day with him. They find his place easiest of access across from U. S. Highway 27, which passes through Indian River. King is illiterate, but intelligent. He is an expert snow-shoe maker and while stringing the white ash frame with the raw deerskin thongs will regale the visitor with his quaint bu,t keen philosophy. It was 28 years ago when he found his son, then a boy of five years, talking prattle to a wild partridge, that he conceived the idea of feeding the birds. At first the corn and wheat kernels attracted only a few which came always in the early morning or at dusk. As he persisted the number increased until the average attendance at his assemblies is sixty. He once counted eighty-seven, they gather, he calls them by name and they mince consciously forward to his hand. “There is almost as much difference between any two ruffed grouse as there is between two human beings” says King. He will distinguish the birds by the broad band on one; the fuzzy legs of another, the trim slimness of a third or the long neck of a fourth. Among them, Bill says, are prudes and puritans, charlatans and clowns, fops and flatterers. For 23 years, Fannie, a bird of grey aspect, barred with black, never missed a morning or evening assembly except when the hawks swooped down on the gathering. Because of the hours at which the grouse gather, pictures of the assemblies have been hard to secure. James McGillivray, educator of the Michigan Conservation Commission, finally secured pictures in the winter, the reflection from the snow compensating to some extent for an otherwise in sufiicient light.

M ML WASHINGTON, D. C. The liiermomVtvr stood at 50 below zero but W.lbur Jewell merely pulled down his ear-muffs together and set out from ChatamKa, Alaska, to deliver letters pl Christmas greeting to the peopie of the Arctic circle. Before he got there he had severely frbzeu ms hands and feet. Sitting in her living room bx the fire in a comfortable nom< in Norwalk. Conn.,? a woman read in the newspapers about Jewell t sacrifice and decided he ought to be rewarded. Then, some time later, she also read about Maurice O’Leary, another Alaskan carrier of mails; how he froze his hands and feet rescuing his horse which broke through the ice while they were making their lonely route and had to have some, of his fingers amputated. And the story of Bert Thorson also moved her. Thorson battled bLzzard-swept plains to deliver his mad to two Arctic outposts. So this Connecticut woman sent Postmaster-general New a check for $250 with a letter containing fine sentiments. Mr. New has mailed the check to Alaska to be divided among the three carriers. The name of the donor will not be made public.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS A few drops of vinegar added to the water when washing windows gives a fine brilliance to the glass. In niost eases scorched spots will disappear from the cloth if the spot is rubbed with fresh bread crumbs. When brewing tea, put, a lump of sugar in the teapot.. Then-if the tea is spilled on the table., it won’t stain the cloth. .A lump ot sugar added when i boiling green vegetables helps them to retain their color and is just as effective as the use of soda. You- can cook cracked eggs without losing any o£ their whites if you add a teaspoon of salt to the water in which you Toil them. When the fountain pen leaks don’t worry. Rub the stained lingers with a sulphur match then wash with soap and the stains will disappear. In keeping fruit, let it be spread out in a light, airy place, no two pieces touching. If piled together, or stored in a damp, lark place, it. will decompose quickly. Real .money was paid for this helpful hint: “A good way to know.that you are at the bottom of your cellar steps is to paint the last step white." Clever, isn’t it? When fabric has been splashed with mud allow the spots to dry thoroughly then brush off as much mud as possible. Cover, with a mixture of sajt and flour and keep in a warm dry place for i day or so. Shake and brush carefully. To bring out the color of rugs and carpets, brush them up with a mixture of a cup of vinegar to a gallon of water. For general sweeping, dry salt, /scattered on the- chrpet also helps to preserve colors and to check the ravages of moths. - o— —■ As a result of shutting down government oil wells and restr cting production, we are now warned to expect higher prices for gasoline. This seems to be an instance where government is in business to aid a monopoly.
