The care of insectivorons birds
that stay with US throughout the
wiuter is almost wholly neglected by
the orchardists of the northern states,
and thus very important aid to the
suppression of insect pests is lost.
There are so many species of insects
that destroy all kinds of fruit, and
others that kill the trees, that We
need to avail ourselves of every pos
sibIe means to combat them. Spray
ing has proved very effective when
properly done, but the cost is some
thing, and the work comes at time
when all are busy. Spraying must
be systematic, if one is to achieve
anything like success in fruit grow
ing but a very little care IN provid-
ing for and protecting the birds will
bring to the orchards such species as
feed on the harmful insects in their
.Sinter forms.
The chickadees are the most help
full birds that visit our orchards !;
theyare busy throughout the winter
feeding on the black eggs Of plant
lice, the eggs of the tent caterpillars,
eggs ef canker worms, eggs of the
tussock moth and like insects that
remain on the bark over winter.
They also feed on the larvae and
pupae Of the shot-hole borers, beetles
and codlhg moth. Another tomtit,
the tufted titmouse, and the white
breasted ruthatch are useful birds.
The little brown creeper is one Of the
most systematic workers. He passes
rapidly over rough -barked trees, and
the minutest insects rarely escape
him.
As spring approaches, the blue
birds should be welcomed, for most
of their food consists of cut worms,
army worms and other caterpillars.
The wood boring insects are dill
gently gathered by the woodpeckers
through the winter months /; they
also feed on eggs of plant lice and on
many scale insects.
Hawks and owls often visit the
orchards, usually in search of mice.
Some of them feed on grasshoppers
and other injurious insects, and the
bulk of ali their food consists of some
form of animal life. The butcher
bird is also a mouse hunter, but he
is not wanted because of his destruc-
ton of small birds.
All birds, including domestic poul-
try, are helpful in the orchard, ex-
cept the pheasants, partridges and
English sparrows. They destroy too
many buds in winter and spring.
Evergreen trees or hedges afford
good winter protection to the birds
we need. Little bird houses, made
of starch boxes, or even tin cans, or
better still, small boxes made ofslabs
with the bark on, so as not to look
new, placed about the orchards or in
the trees, make fine nesting places
for the chickadees, nuthatches, creep.
ers and wrens. In the winter, birds
should be fed with meat or rsuet hung
in the trees, and cats should be
drowned as fast as born.
One would not believe how many
birds can be encouraged to remain in
the orchards and gardens until he
has tried the simple devices sugges-
ted. When they learn that they
have nothing to fear, they come in
great numbers and become very tame.
Birds are constant feeders, and when
young consume insects equal to or
greater than their own weight every

ORIGIN OF PRINTERS DEVIL.

Why is the printers errand boy
called the printers devil1" A
writer at the end of the seventeenth
century explained it thus: "These
boys in a printing house commonly
black and dawb themselves; whence
the workmen do loosely call them
devils; and sometimes spirits, and
sometimes Aies." It is related, how
ever, that Aldo Manuzio, the great
Venetian printer of the fifteenth Gen.
tury, had black slave boy, who
was popularity supposed to have come
from below. Accordingly he pub
lished notice: 'I, Aldo Manuzio,
printer to the Doge, have this day
made public exposure of the printers

and blood may come and pinch him"

SECURE POSSESSION

summons from the court in q suit Of eJectment
brought against him by granddaughter of Will
Liam Barnes. claiming that she was entitled 70
share of the property. After the usual litigation
the case was decided by the Court Of Appeals,
and the owner found that under some technical
rules Of law in force in 1921, but long since
changed, the title to his property was bad, and
that he did not own what he had bought and paid
for. Not having had his title guaranteed BY the
Title Guarantee and Trust Company. he lost MS

GOOD FORTUNE FOR
ONE HAMMOND GIRL
Katherine Harney's Aft.
anced Falls Heir to
$12O,OOO-W Will Wed.

According to the Mt. Carmel Reg
lister, an Illinois paper, there is a young
woman in Hammond by the name of
Katherine Harvey, who is soon to be
made very happy by the visit of her
sweetheart from away out in Idaho
The young man who is TO claim her
as his bride, is at present a wood
chopper in the Watts Logging camp on
Pack river in the northern part of this
far western state and his name is Ed
ward w. O'Brian.
The prospect Of an early marriage
is not the most interesting thing about
the story, for Edward w. OBrian has
recently learned that through the
death of an uncle who died recently in
Sidney, Australia, he has become heir
to s120.GOO.
No longer will he be compelled to
live in the squalid quarters of west
ern logging camp and no longer will
he be compelled to rise at dawn and
begin a hard days work that will bring
him but little nearer the consumma-
tion of his hearts desire for today he
is the possessor of a fortune and per-
haps even now he may be on his way
to this city to tell Miss Katherine the
good news.
But with all his good fortune Ed
ward w. O'Brian has had some bad
luck. He received a letter supposed to
contain $4,000 as the first installment
of it but when he opened the letter
he found it had been rified and so he
had to wait until the postal authori-
| ties Investigated the matter.
However, O'Brian is still in good
spirits for he knows that soon he viii

MUST ESTABLISH
JUVENILE COURTS
Counties Notified They Must
Comply With Law
Lake Already Has.

Lake county is ahead of most of
the other counties throughout Indiana,
having already established it's Juvenile
court and heard cases therein. The fol-
lowing dispatch bears testimony to
Lake ~eountgss forehandednesssa~
Especial to Lake County Times)
Indianapolis. Ind, May 1O.-In a
letter sent out to all of the circuit
judges of the state by Amos w. Butler,
secretary of the board of state chari-
ties, announcement is made in a very
matter of fact way, that under two
laws passed by the general assembly
of 1907, there is now established a
Juvenile court in every county in the
state-a proposition that has not been
urged. in itself, and which few knew
had been obtained.
In brief, this comes about because
of two laws; one provides that the cir
cult judge is to serve as ex-officio
Juvenile Judge in childrens cases. and
the other provides that in certain of
crimes, in which children are involved.
the child shall be tried by none other
than a Juvenile judge. The effect of
these two laws construed together is
that there must needs be a Juvenile
Judge in every county in the state.
In parts the letter sent out by Mr..
Butler is as follows:
1T now becomes the duty OF every
circuit judge to establish a juvenile
court. as provided for in the Juvenile
court law. This requires, first. the
necessary Juvenile court records; a
| docket, order book and childrens' rec
ord; the appointment of a probation Of
ficer and provision for room other than
the regular court room for hearing
children's causes.
Under these laws every case of a
dependent, neglected, abandoned or de-
linquent child must be brought before
the judge of the Juvenile court. He
is the only person who can hereafter
decide that child shall be made a
public ward. One effect of this will be
to secure a more careful investigation
into each case than has been given in
the past by township trustees and other
officials whose duty it has been to de-
| termine whether the children shall be-
/ come public wards"
/ Mr. Butler says that this new order
/ of affairs will effect about two thirds
/ of the counties in the state. AT pres
/ ent." he said, about thirty-five coun-
! ties in the state have Juvenile courts
/ or days for Juvenile cases. These coun-
/ ties will not be affected by the new
/ order But all of the other countie:
/ in the state Will be so affected"

the place and an effort was made to
extinguish the flames by use of the
means at hand. The water pressure,
however. was very low and the facili-

minutes it was seen that all hope of
coping with the blaze without the aid
of the fire department, was futile.

In the mean time some one had
called up the fire department at Home

it was some time before the engines re
ponded, the high wind had famed the
flames to a fury. and in less than flf-
teen minutes after the time the smoke
was first seen, the building was q
smouldering mass Of ruins.
The Homewood club was putting ir
extensive improvements this spring and
workmen had completed a new wing tc

was fifty feet square and was to have
