Sixteenth street and Avenue A. Council Bluffs -- • BLUE JAY !

Range Resident in the eastern ) United States and southern < anada. west to the Dakotas. Colorado, and Texas Habits and economic status: The blue Jay is of a dual r.a'ure Cautious and silent in the vicinity of its nest, away from it it is bold and noisy. Sly in the commission of mischief, it is ever ready to scream thief' at the slightest disturbance. As usual in such cases, its remarks are ap plicable to none more than itself, a fact neighboring nest holders know to tbeir sorrow, for during the breeding season the Jay lays heavy toll upon the eggs and young of other birds, and in doing so deprives us of the services of species more beneficial than itself. Approximately three fourths of the annual food of the blue Jay is vegetable matter, the greater part of which is composed of mast, L e , acorns, chestnuts, beech- uts. and the like. Corn is the principal culti vated crop upon which this bird feeds, but stomach analysis indicates that most of the corn taken is waste grain. Such noxious insects as wood-boring beetles, grasshoppers, eggs of various caterpillars, and scale Insects consti tute about one-fifth of Its food. Thoroughly Satisfied.

Chicago, III,—With a sign of deej f emotion caused by the occasion, Rev p Henry Allen Boyd, the secretary o f the Sunday School Congress, and thi f corresponding secretary of the Na > tional Negro Press Association, del 'f. ivered an able address in the Nations -- Republican Committee here today, which was in session at the Congress Hotel- It was a Roosevelt memorial meeting. There were representatives from various states in the union, and jitnong the speakers were the gov j emor of Rhode Island, the governor ] of Iowa, and the governor of Wis j ronsin. The Re' Mr. Bojd was the only < Negro speaker at the memorial meet ng. He paid glowing tributes to the deceased. In fact, he said in part: “Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the (thirteen millions of loyal American citizens who have been true to every star and every stripe in Old Glory that floats above us. I wish to add our testimony to what has already been said about the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. While the Negroes did not agree with all his policies, they held him as an ideal man for Amen- ] canism. They revered him for the i splendid stand he took on all ques tions of public interest. He did not discriminate against race, color or ■ previous condition of servitude. To ; us he was one of the noblest Romans . of them all. He was one of the < brightest stars in the horizon, not withstanding it has gone down beyond the golden west, it is only for a time. We believe his work will live and that the republican party will take on new life and inspiration by the ex amples set. He was a man as we knew him, who did not want the door of hope closed in the fame of any American citizen. The Negro Press Association of the United States, which I also represent, wishes to pay its respect.
