Insect pests promise to be very
troublesome this season. The
best means of fighting them is by
protecting the native birds which
feed on them or their eggs in enor-
nous numbers, amounting to many
hundreds each day for every bird.
And the best way to protect the
native birds is by making persist
ent war on the English sparrow,
which seems bent ON driving all
native birds away. To destroy the
nests of these bird pests of the
world is the best that can be done
at this time of the year to prevent
their spread, and after the native
birds leave in the fall, and are
out of the way of the noise,
the shot gun can be brought into
play with good effect and especial
ly to the profit of farmers and
gardeners. Sparrows make good
eating.

respective departments have stood in
the way of his substantial promotion
However, he has already received what
many a man would be glad 20 have
the piaudits Of his grateful countrymen
and the highest commendation OF CON

Lieutenant Newcomb was born In
Boston Nov 10. 1886, and was cducat-
cd in the public schools. He comes of
good old lighting stock, his great
grandfather having been a sergeant at
the battle OF Lexington. At the age OF
fifteen he accompanied his father, an
old sailor and shipowner. on a voyage
around the world and a seventeen en-.
listed in the navy at the beginning of
the civil war. lie resigned his com.

which he was detached in October. 1897
and placed in command Of the Hudson.
He was among the first OF the revenue
officers to be called upon by the govern
ment for the navy.
The hero of Cardenas was one OF the
first TO arrive with his vessel on the

have been that OF brother officer.
