the meadow daisy to the rugged peak of
towering mountain-all nature. animate
land naminate is but a revelation of the
divinity, power wisdom and love of God.
Our Debt to the Birds, Meta Watson,
Vancescounty.

States resources. Their contribution to
the beauty and happiness of life is not
tc be measured in dollars and cents AS

injurious insects they are to be reckOHed
among the benefactors of mankind.
The fact that through the ravages of in
sects our country sustains an annual
loss of 5000 600 600 is proof practical Of
the necessity for protecting the birds
Without this protection they are in a fair
way to be exterminated An educated
sentiment is needed that will intelligent
! ly shield the birds from all destructive
| agencies.
