I MEWS F THE tTfl rats NASH A PERSONAL FRIEND OF ENGLISH r When Ernest Harold Baynes, a fa nous naturalist and authority on birds, cornea to Omaha next Satur day to lecture under the auspices of the Audubon society, be will get a hearty welcome from hundreds of irdent bird lovers. In addition, however, be will be warmly greeted and welcomed by at least one old friend and personal ac quaintance of long standing, C. II. English, superintendent of public recreation. The latter was on the same lyceura bureau circuit with Mr. Baynes a number of years ago, and so knows the famous bird man quite well. Mr. English is also a bird en thusiast himself and a member of the Audubon society. "We are mighty fortunate to tt Mr. Barnes to eomo to Omaha and lecture on birds and show us Ma wonderful ptc torea." Superintendent English said whan fee learned ot the approaching affair. "I have beard him lector and hare seen bis many si Idea, and eo know that we bare a treat In store next Saturday. rrTM Blr Charsaer. "An unusual feature ot Mr. Baynes ac complishments Is that be not only has a pleasing delivery, hut also a personality that seems to charm birds and animals, as well as people. The result Is that he has been able to attract and domesticate numerous wild birds and animals, thereby KStllng remarkable pictures of them and gaining much valuable first-hand knowl edge of their ways. "On his large private estate at Merlden. N. H., he frequently walks out and soon the birds, squirrels, foxes or other wild friends of his gather about him, with absolutely no Indication of fear. It Is wonderful how the wIM things love and trust him." 1 Climax t Caaapatar. I The lectors In Omaha by Mr. Baynes I will be a suitable climax to a oampalgn of education conducted this winter by the Nebraska Audubon society to Interest people In bird study and protection. Ever since it wsa discovered that song ' "birds are valuable exterminators of In sect pests. Interest in bird welfare has grown, until now the entire country Is wakened In the matter.-and sentiment Is constantly growing stronger tor harbor ing and encouraging the feathered songsters. Mr. Baynes will deliver his lecture st ( o'clock next Saturday evening at the First Baptist church. Park and Dewey avenues. His subject will be "Our Wild Bird Friends and How to Attract Them." His many stereopticon Illustrations are from photographs taken by hlmseir. LenrheOB for Visitor. The local Audubons, headed by their president, Dr. Solon B. Towne, plan to entertain Mr, Baynes Saturday noon at a luncheon at the Commercial club. They also hope to take him for a walk through the woods around Child's Point, where many wild birds may be studied the year round. . His leoture here was made possible by subscriptions from members of the so clety, and as much of their money as possible will be returned ,to them from the sale of ilckets, as the lecture la in tended purely for educational purposes, and not for profit, It was hoped to have Mr. Baynes also speak to children In the afternoon, bot that idea was given up be cause ot the Board of Health precautions against epidemics.
