Lending his youth support to the "Carrier Pigeon Festival," to he held Nov. 20 at 1:30 p. m. on the Capitol lawn, the dark-haired lad is grooming his birds for participating in the event. The festival, which is sponsored by the Lansing Homing Pigeon Fanciers association, was suggested by the tuberculosis Christmas seal of the Michgian Tuberculosis association and affiliates, which this year carries the picture of a "dove of hope." Winning Bird Young Lechlitener holds the record for this year's bird, being the 1949 winner of the 500 mile race wihch was held earlier in the year.
His winning bird, "140," named for the bank on his leg, flew from Columbia, to Lansing in 16 hours. The breeding and flying of homing pigeons is not a "poor man's sport." Birds sell for handsome prices, and command ever larger sums once they have proven themselves in a race.

Caudle says if Casey ever gets the wanderlust, he can fly off any time he wants to. Bennett said. "Maybe next year there will" be somewhat less green coffee available than there was this year. But I insist that may or may not be so. No one can be positive." His company is one of the two largest coffee importers in the world.
The devaluation of the English pound can alter the predicted lack of coffee surplus in 1950. In the past few years England has become a big coffee importer. But a spokesman for a dominant American importer believes that devaluation may seriously cut England's coffee purchases next year. Yet prices are skyrocketing despite the normal supplies of coffee on hand. Hoarding by panicky housewives is the main underlying cause, according to all importers interviewed.
Bennett said Maxwell House is trying to buck -this panic by informal rationing withholding extra shipments from wholesalers. If roasters were to follow the trend of consumers they would be buying more green coffee than needed, thereby upping the basic prices. "It's obvious," he explained, "that if consumers clear out everything in sight on grocers' shelves, the retailers have to rush 'out and buy more, putting pressure on the green mar But Casey is content to live the rs. 1 i ji a. si!

"The fact is that this year's coffee imports into the United States are rapidly approaching a point which will exceed all previous records. There is no danger of the general public not being able to buy coffee despite the impression some retailers are trying to give that a shortage is probable." No Need to Fear W.
F. secretary of the National Coffee association, said there is nothing to be afraid of concerning our supplies. Some experts still believe there may even be a surplus next year. Robert H. Bennett, sales and advertising manager of the Maxwell House coffee division of General Foods, said he is far from certain past summer the water shortage was acute.

Pigeon's are monogomous and very jealous of their nests. co*cks will fight to the death if their homes are invaded, although, as among humans, an occasional philanderer is found. The males are usually more worried about the young than the females, and make it their business to sSe that the hen sticks to the nest during the rearing of young.
Birds often make record flights when they are "driving the hen," evidently hurrying home to see that "mamma" tends strictly to business. Judge Birds Good birds, that is winning birds. PORTLAND, Ore. (INS) Twenty years ago a Wyoming cowboy stumbled' over a piece of stone, turning it over. It read: "Mary E.
Homsley, died June 28, 1852, aged 28." The cowboy took the news to the editor of the New Fort Laramie paper who put W. W. Morrison to work. Within 200 feet of the spot Morrison found a larger rock into which the other fitted perfectly. The outline of a grave became visible and the sleuth of the Old Oregon Trail association had found another of the 34,000 pioneers who fell along the wayside.
Not all are that easy. Morrison, the Union Pacific passenger agent at Cheyenne, uses a mine detector in his hobby, roaming the hills with it in the chance that a button or other piece of metal may betray a grave. Morrison doesn't open the grave. He photographs the markers and sends the picture to newspapers where he thinks the family originated or migrated. SCHABER6 ARBWAREGG.

Some fanciers believe that a bird resembling the female, even though she is of champion stock, is not likely to be a -good bird. Young Lechlitener says that in looking for good birds, the eyes are all important. "Scouting rings, a circle of color next to the pupil, is a gauge of the bird's value," Lechlitener declared, "Most fanciers believe that the range and movement of these rings are the criterion of the bird's homing instinct, and are related to the ability of the bird to combat magnetic pulls in other J.
