TELLS TEACHERS
ABOUT SPARROWS
Professor Goodwin of Agricul-
turaI College Delivers Ad-
dress on R0bber Bird.
MOST DESTRUCTIVE PEST
DRIVES OTHER BIRDS OUT OF
COUNTRY.
MOST DESTRUCTIVE PES

Professor S. H. Goodwin of the Agricul-
tural college gave an interesting talk to
the city teachers at the Lafayette school
Saturday morning. The subject of his talk
was '"rhe Enslis Sparrow" He spoke OF
the fact that most people are prone to no
tice only uncommon things and to ignore
the things Immediately about them-the
common things. He characterized the
sparrow as the Ishmaelite among birds
and men and noted tnat This was just
Characterization. Inc speaker stated that
there is a certain outline to follow in the
study of all birds That outline is: Where
to be found, practically everywhere in
cities; food, almost entirely grain. but
otner things also; song; characteristic
habits; nest; eggs; Incubation; the birds
young.
Professor Goodwin said, in part:
The English sparrow is not native
bird. 1t was first imported in 1880, but
these birds died. The Importation of 1852
thrived and multiplied. The importation
of 1872 gave to Utah this undesirable pest
pest that has cost the country millions
of dollars. They have spread to all parts
of the state. They are pre-eminently a
town and city bird. They are found wher-
ever human beings live. They are
grain-eating bird. The amount of grain
consumed by these vOraciOuS feathered
pests is enormous. Its food. however, IS
not confined to grain. Ii is destructive to
ali garden products. They have no song.
His characteristic habits are OF a dis
reputable nature. He Is pre-eminently a
'scrapper.' He drives other birds away,
not by open, manly fight, but by petty
annoyances until the honest bird leaves
that part of the country. They are the
street Arab among birds. Their nests are
found almost everywhere. In trees, among
vines, in cave trOughs. in bird houses.
Their eggs number from three TO seven,
and they are nearly as prolific as pigeons.
They start nesting in March and rear
many bTOOds during the summer The
young are the most hardy of birds. Thls
hardness is due to the fact that they
are the special product of generations of
living with the enmity of all living erea-
lures against them. They have adapted
themselves most readily to their environ
ments."
The speaker stated in conclusion. that
the name English sparrow is mis-
homer. The house sparrow is the prop
er name. as this bird inhabits regions
where human beings have their habita
lions.
Professor Goodwin also stated that the
bounty law respecting the destruction of
the sparrow is the most useless on the
statute books. The number destroyed as
a result of this law is surprisingly small.
1t is as ineffective as the use of a tooth
pick is to work of emptying the ocean.
But the great harm done is the habit
that children will get into of being hard
ened to destroying all animate things.
Professor Goodwin had an interesting
collection of mounted birds, which he
showed and explained to the teachers aft
er his lecture.

PASSED FROM EARTH's Toll
Death Of James G.. Paine and Little
Vernon Evans of Ogden and
John w. Hooper of Hooper.

James G. Paine, a prominent business
man and senior member of the firm of
Paine & Hurst, died at o O'Clock yester-
day afternoon at the residence of j. 7.
Hurst 2535 Adams avenue, after an i'll
ness extending over period OF a couple
of years.
Mr.. Paine was "a years old yesterday,
being born in Bangor. Me, in 1888. While
a boy he went to Chicago and a short
time later to Kansas, where he engaged
/ in the general merchandise business at
Elk City. From there he went to Idaho,
where he engaged extensively in the cat
tie business. He came to Ogden in 1883,
when he established the ladies' furnish
ing house of Paine & Hurst. and in which
he continued until the time of his death.
Mr.. Paine was one of the prominent
citizens of Ogden and at one time served
term as city councilman. He was a
veteran of the civil war and much of his
i'll health was due to trouble incurred dur
ing the war. He was a member of the
local lodge of the C. A. r. and was also
church, holding at the time of his death
a position of president of the board of
trustees and treasurer of the church.
Fourteen years ago Mr.. Paine's health
suddenly failed and he went to CalifOr-
MIA, where he remained for some time.
After returning to Ogden he again took
up the business in which he was formerly
engaged. On July 4. 1906, he suffered a
stroke of apOpleXy.
Seven weeks ago he attended his bust
ness as usual and after spending a day
at the store he took to his bed, where
he remained until his death yesterday
His widow and one daughter. Miss
Emma Ruth Paine, teacher in the puD-
lie schools. survive him. The body VIII
be- taken back to Kansas to be buried
in the family plot by the side of two of
his children.
The body will lie in state at the First
Methodist church Tuesday from 10 to Il
o'clock after which hour the funelnI
service viii be held.
