tory of the county. Some Of the farm.
ers went to thinking. The grub in
creased in numbers. The corn crop
kept on growing less and less, until
ten bushels to the acre was as big
yield as that rich bottom would re-
turn, and the crows had not been per-
mitted to get another foothold in the
region, either.
Then the thinking farmers made up
their minds that the reason the crows
had put in such large and sudden
appearance q few years before was
that they had simply, followed the
wake of the grubs and had come to
feed on that irrepressible pest. and
then the community felt like kicking
itself clear out Of the state. They
went to work to try to get the crows
back again. They sent clear to the
Wabash country, where the biggest
crow roost on top Of the earth is To-
Gated, and had thousands OF crows
captured and forwarded to them.
The next season something like the
old-time colony took up its quarters In
the woods and that fall the biggest
crop of corn that had been known in
the region for five years was gathered.

Telephone is Boon to King

at the same time the king may at
times be the cause of profanity on the
part Of disappointed subject. When
the king requires to speak over a
trunk line he has the right to claim
priority of service over all who may
be waiting to use the same line.
To let you understand what this
means, usually a person requiring to
use a trunk line, unless he is very
fortunate, has to wait at least half an
hour before other callers who have
requisitioned the line have finished
their business, for each caller is given
the line in turn.
While three minutes is the time al
lowed for a call, except when the king
is using II, his majesty has the priv
ilege OF talking without any time lin
1t. AS a matter Of fact. however, the
king, who had occasion recently to
use the trunk lines rather frequently
rarely or never exceeds the time limit.
His majesty knows how a telephone
should be used and is careful to OBJ
serve rules laid down to expedite the
trafic.
His majesty speaks rather slowly
and distinctly, but not loudly. so that
his listener never has to ask him to
repeat a word. It Is the experience
at the trunk exchange that the royal
calls are very quickly cleared.

disastrous visitations greatly, for 1t
never occurred to them that the crow
was among them for any other pur-

the crow was carried on with mercl-
less vigor and the next season there
was a decided decrease in the size Of
the crow colony. 1t grew smaller and
smaller year by year, until only a few
wild and struggling fiocks put in an
appearance.
During all this time the yield Of
corn an acre had gradually decreased
and the crow was credited with being
the principal cause Of the loss. The
grub was still at work, but the farm
ers had no idea that they were not

South Haven, Mich.-There is one
region where the crow, generally con-
sidered a pest, is not only welcome
visitor but was actually coaxed and
begged to return there, after having
been driven away by years Of merci-
less persecution. That spot is the
southeast portion Of Van Buren, coun-
ty, Michigan. Years ago there had
never been many crows in this vic.n-
ity, but one season about that time
they began to arrive in countless num-
bers. They occupied every piece of
woods for miles. around, and It was
estimated that the colony contained
not fewer than 100000 of what the
farmers supposed were winged marau-
ders.
1t Is rich land out there, and sixty
bushels of corn to the acre was not
too much to expect as an average
yield. Naturally. everybody believed
that this great army of crows had
heard of that garden spot, and had
marched upon 1t to devastate the new
ly planted fields, and leave ruin and
famine in their wake, so men, women
and children organized in a systematic
campaign against the black destroyers.
They were hunted in their roosts. they
were trapped, they were poisoned, and
they were even pursued by fire.
The farmers soon noticed another
new visitor that season. grub that
