In 1904 were estimated at $4,000, 900.
The cotton worm is a great menace in
the south, where it destroys from
$25,OO0.0OO to $5O.OOO.OO annually of
the cotton crop. The cut worm is j
pest that is prevalent throughout the
country; although the loss is widely
distributed and not felt so heavily, It
is enormous. The coddling moth in

100000 annually. With the continuous
loss of bird life in our country. the
loss from insect and rodent pests last
year was estimated at the enormous
sum of $SOO.OOO.O 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
one hundred million dollars to the
trees of the country. Do you know
that 400 different species of insects
are continually working on the OAK
tree alone? The birds of the forests
are constantly catching and consum-
ing these insects.
Careful analysis of the stomachs Ct
thousands of wood peckers, 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 AMI YOU destroy
our forests.
The lumbermen have cut our for.
ests but the lumber is used to build
homes. The fisherman catches ou-
fish. till they are almost gone, but
these are used for food. The capitalist
captures the water-power rights of our
streams, but these he puts to advan.-
age. But the plume hunter slaughters
our wild birds. and uses our resources
for what" Is II to make women more
attractive and beautiful! If SO. he is
a failure.
AS long as women demand these
plumes men will be found to supply
them. This vandalism will not cease
as long as the reward of gold lasts.
But at the rate some Of our birds ar.
disappearing. the supply will soon he
gone and then the useless custom
must cease"

why the bird is placed Oh earth. His

Francis NJ. Chapman. curator Of the

The Tussock Moth Menace.

The Tussock Moth Menace.
From the Chicago Post.
If the members of the city council
want proof of the need Of an appro-
priation to stop the ravages of the
tussock moth, they can find 1t on ev-
cry tree of Washington Square, on
every other tree on Dearborn avenue
and North State street, and, for that
matter, on thousands OF trees in all
parts Of the city and it's suburbs. 1t
is not safe to dillydally with the mat
ter. The city's trees are threatened
with destruction. Massachusetts, has
spent s1.50O,000 within a few years in
the attempt to rid the eastern part Of
the state of the brown tail and gypsy
moths. If the danger had been recog-
nized when the pests first appeared
the lives of the elms of Concord and
the Common would not be in jeopardy
today. The money spent by the New
England state has been taken out of
the public funds. Great sums in ad-
dition have been spent by individuals
in the attempt to save the trees on
private estates. The tussock moth can
be kept down, if not exterminated, II
the means for the work are provided.
There is one kind of economy that is
practiced only by the foolish.

When the bureau of immigration

that has possessed the country in the
last 200 years. There is little more

this nation. The tide flows west. then

WEATHER BAD
AND so WAS BEN JOHNSON'S
DISPOSITION.
He Charged McCreary With Black
Ingratitude and Deser-
ton.

Shelbyville. Dec. 14.-Congress-
man Ben johnson made a special
trip from Washington to fire the
opening gun in the gubernatoria
campaign in this county. Weather
conditions were bad and only a
small crowd was present to greet
the candidate for gubernatorial hon
ors. but he apparently made favor
able impression on those who heard
him.
Mr.. Johnson's entire speech was
devoted to a contrast OF his own po-
litical record as compared with that
of former Senator McCreary. whom
he charged with virtually boiling the
nominations of Blackburn and Beck
ham for the United States senate,
and with permitting clubs of Demo
Gratis to be formed in the Fourth dis
trict TO prevent his reelection to
congress in order to influence senti-
ment in the gubernatorial election.
He declared that McCreary's infiu-
ence. II actively exerted. would have
resulted in the election of a Demo
cratic senator whose vote would have
been cast for the people and against
the trusts in the framing OF the pres
ent Ubiquitous tariff. BIZ, which Sen
ator Bradley supported.
In his whole speech Mr.. johnson
never alluded to any other candi-
date for governor except Senator
McCreary, whom he severely excor-
lated. In concluding his structures
on the Madison county statesman, he
said:
81 am not given to kicking a
corpse, therefore will say no more
about him"
Mr.. Johnson recited at length his
own services to the party: the sacri-
hces he had made in accepting the
of the campaign COM
mittee when other men were deter
red by visions OF defeat: his pay
ment OF the s.. 900 debt incurred in
the campaign. which was carried to
a victorious conclusion in the face
Of tremendous odds.
In concluding he said he sought
the Office. not for profit, as he was
prepared TO relinquish a larger sal
airy, but for honor, and assured his
hearers that in the event of his cleo
ton the poorest man in the state
would receive as cordial a reception
and as full hearing in the executive
Office as the richest man.
Mr. Johnson was introduced by
Judge Elliott b. Beard. former
representative from this county in
the legislature, who incidentally an
nounced his candidacy for railroad
commissioner from this district.
