more than ready to run when th-

each decorated with some one kind
of flowers The children drew lots to
determine who should eat in the rose

To add to their surprise and to save
the delicate mothers strength. there
We're no grown-ups in the tents. In

afforded much satisfaction to the older
women. who peeped in occasionally TO
See if all was we'll. The supper itself
was simple-biScuits and jelly. fresh
raspberries and Strawberries, sponge

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
BIRDS AND CONSERVATION

The conservation congress which
to meet in ST. Paul for five days
he first and second weeks i'll Sep
ember will not devote its time en-
irely 10 the discussion OF the best
means for saving 70 this and succeed
ug generations our forests. water sup
lly, coal lands and other big FACTORS
n the nations wealth. Ii VIII take
ime to talk OF the birds, and attempt
o classify them. Not as to their pinm-t
age or song. or other esthetic quail
les, but as 70 the good or harm they
are to the farmer and orchardlst.
William L. Finlay, OF the National
Association Of Audubon societies,
gives an idea of the valne OF birds in
iollars and cents to the nation, and
is on this basis the conservation
congress will discuss the feathrrcd
tribe. Mr. Finlay says:
For years our wild birds have
Deen decreasing rapidly As a re-
suit, millions of dollars are taken
from the pockets of the farming class
every year to fight insect pests. and
this amount is increasing. The in
roads OF the Hessian fly upon the
wheat crop in 1904 were estimated at
s50,0oO,0O0. The cotton worm is q
great menace in the South whore it
DESTROYS from $25 900 400 to S3O,nn0
900 annually of the cotton crop. The
cut worm Is pest that is prevalent
throughout the country; although the
oss is widely distributed and not fclt
so heavily. 1t is enormous. The cod
ding moth Injuries fruit crops TO the
amount of s20,0OO,00O annually. With
the continuous loss OF bird life in our
country, the loss from insect and TO-
dent pests last year was estimated
at the enormous sum of $500, 900.
Without the birds, our forests
would be swept as by a blast OF fire
Our trees would look like an army of
telegraph poles. Last year insects
caused an estimated loss of more
than $100,000,U0U to the trees OF the
country. Do you know that 400 differ
ent species of insect are continually
working on the oak tree alone? The
birds of the forest are constantly
catching and consuming these insects.
Careful analysis of the stomachs
of thousands of woodpeckers. titmice.
creepers, kinglets, wood warblers,
wrens, flycatchers, swallows. nut
matches and other birds show they do
nothing else but eat these devastating
insects This is their life work. De
stroy our wild birds and you destroy
our forests"
Perhaps MIR. Finlay places too great
an Importance upon the worth of the
bird to mankind. But that they are
a great factor in Kidding forests and
field and orchard of harmful insests
they take is insignificant in compare
son with the service tney return.
