WOODPECKER ON
STATES BIG SEAL
WASHINGTON WILL USE INSECT
DESTROYER IN PUBLIC DOC
uMENTs IN FUTURE.
BIRD KILLS WORMS, ANTS AND
RoRERs, ALL HARMFUL
TO TREES.

Seattle. Wash, July 9.-The downy
woodpecker has been selected as the
emblem of the Pacific northwest ana
his fluffy features will adOrn the new
seal of the state of Washington III
place of the bald eagle. The wood
pecker has been selected as the en-
blem because of its assidious labor in
clearing the forests and orchards of
various insects and destructive bor-
ers. There has been little opposition
to the substitution of the woOdpecker
for the bold eagle inasmuch as the
eagle has been condemned because
of it's habits.
Hordes of insects thrive upon and
with all trees. Borers protected
from every enemy except a wood
pecker work the year around. They
dig tunnel after tunnel often just be-
meath the bark of live trees, where
they do the most harm
AS many as sixty borers have been
found in one dead fruit tree. Borers
have been known to riddle a twoyear
old locust tree. Later ants get started
in the abandoned tunnels and other
insects help to destroy the wood.
1t is the woodpecker that saves SO
many of the trees of both forest and
orchard. He began his work thou
sands of years ago, and unheeded by
most men has BEEN at it ever since.
Now after thorough investigation it
is found that to the woodpecker is
due the fact that any trees are alive
today in the state
The woodpecker, busy at work
when the sun peeps over the hill is a
persevering bird, searches carefully
and deals out punishment unsparing-
ly. With the most perfect climbing
apparatus ever invented he gets over
every part of &. tree. He possesses the
quickest of eyes and the quickest of
tongues with which he destroys hun
dreds Of eggs that are tucked away in
crevices of the bark. Any one of these
eggs would be enough 20 defoliate an
entire branch.
The woodpecker has ears that can
hear the crunch of the borer as it
eats III the heart of tree. With ac-
curate precision he locates the sound
and pecks away at the wood until he
locates and eats the borer
There are eight species and eigh-
teen subspecies of woodpeckers in
Washington that remain the year
around. They scout the edge of the
woods, penetrate deep into the for
| ests and nest in the orchards.
AS the emblem of the northwest
the woodpecker can claim to be
qualified resident, living here the
year around, ard he is American i'm
his ways.

New York, July 9.-Detectives are
hunting for two men, who, passing as
trustees of the Carnegie thrift
fund" swindled an aged Brooklyn
man out of $4,000, his LIES savings.
Nicholas Jacobs, a retired cigar man
ufacturer, 50 years old, was their vic
tim.
One of the swindlers, who was rep
resented as having won the Sl0,000
prize in a thrift lottery" conducted
by the fund, was filed with sympa-
thy for Jacobs because both Jacobs
and he were fellow martyrs of rheu-

prize with him. The other swindler

share in it.
Had Jacobs been thrifty? Indeed
me had; he had $4,000 in the savic gs
bank. Was he willing to draw it out
and show it to his benefactors as
earnest of his thrift? He was more
than willing; he was eager to do so.
So he drew out the $4,000 and his
friends placed it carefully in box,
together with the whole $4,000 which.
his rheumatic friends had won in the
lottery, and Jacobs was placed in
custody of the box. But there was a
mix up somewhere, for when the
old man finally grew suspicious and
went to a police station his bex was
found to contain varied assortment
of paper, but no paper money.
