would be no power on Tuesday, the

night at the other office, and were en-
abled to get up enough type to make

their linotype machines for the day to

back to this office and placed in the

made for today and The Gate City

TEMPORARY REPAIRS
Manager Ayres and His Men by Work
ing One Day and One Night,
Have Fixed the Wrecked
Plant.

Less than twenty-four hours after
the accident at the power plant, the
incandescent lights of the city were
running again, the lights going or last
night a. o'clock This morning at
O'clock the power circuit vas put in
operation.
Few people have any idea of the
vast amount of work it took to repair
the damage at tle wrecked plant and
Manager A. D. Ayres deserves great
credit for the way he pushed forward
the work of getting the wrecked plant
Into service again.
With the plant wrecked. part of the
building demolished and the gloom,
cast over the place by the death of the
engineer, everything was in chaotic
condition Monday evening. During the
night, a portion of the roof fell in, add
| ing to the trouble. All of the debris
had to be removed before the broken
switch board could be uncovered and a
temporary one installed. The hole in
the roof had to be covered with tar
paulin in order to keep out the rain
which was threatening and it was
some time before the workmen could
become organized and push forward
the repairs. But after working hard
all day yesterday and last night, tenn
porary repairs were made and last
evening at o'clock, the incandescent
lights in the city We're in commission
and this morning few minutes before
o'clock, the power was on.

One item in the wealth of the coun-
I try that is seldom considered is the
value of song birds. Some may say
this Is purely sentimental and that
tthe pleasure their songs and bright
colors give. cannot be reckoned In
dollars and cents. Nevertheless, it
is not difficult to show that the birds
have an actual money value.
In his war against insects mans
most valuable ally is the bird The
greater number of birds live on in
sects. Even those which live on
seeds when fully grown. are fed on in
|sects while in the nest. AS young
birds grow fast, it takes many a
worm to satisfy their hearty appe-
'tites.
A feature of the warfare of bird on
bug is the system with which it is
carried on Nothing is haphazard, but
each species of bird has it's own field
|of work and in many instances GER
tain insects to which it is partial In
winter, when there seems to be no ac-
tivity on the part of the insects, one
might expect the birds to take a rest,
but there is no cessation in the work
of those which live on insects found
on the bark Of the trees.
Watch flock of chickadees. They
alight in tree and examine each
twig for grubs or eggs, the little black
ice FIJI r,f
food Birds even swing head down
from the branches that the under
side may not escape inspection Nut
matches and brown creepers explore
the trunk and with their long, sharp
bills dig many an insect from its win
ter quarters. The woodpeckers have a
work all their own. The small,
downy woodpecker is a good repre-
sentative of his family. His bill is
strong and sharp. His tail feathers
are stiffened to serve as a brace while
he clings upright against the trunk.
He cocks his head to one side, apd
his quick ear hears a borer under the
bark. A few blows with the bill and
a hole is dug, then a long tongue
barbed at the tip is shot out and the
borer is speared and snatched from
its resting place.
AS insects increase with the coming
of warm weather, birds return from
the south to fight them One watches
the cheerful robin hopping over the
lawn. He listens an instant, then
pokes his bill deep into the ground.
