Little Grosbeaks Wage Unceas-
| ing War on Injurious Bugs.
Investigations Prove That This Breed
Of Birds Destroy Many Pests and
Are invaluable Frienc OF the
/ Farmer.

tBy w. T. MATTE, Assistant, Biological
Survey, United State Department Of
Agriculture.)
The grosbeaks take their name
from their big beaks, and they are
great eaters of insects and slugs
which injure plants. Some objection
has been made to them on the score
that they eat seed grain, but where
1t Is drilled this objection does not
amount to much as present-day plant
ers cover the grain effectually.
With grain under other conditions
the damage done by the grosbeaks is
much more than repaid by the in
sects they kill
The rose-breasted and black-headed
grosbeaks eat peas, and the latter eat
green beans, also. Experience shows
that scarecrow suffices to ward of
the rose-breast, but the black-head ap-
pears less easily inundated. In To-
calities where the birds are abundant
bird netting used as cover is ef-
fective and Is advised for small
patches.
Planting wild fruit is important for
the purpose of attracting birds. The
following are valuable: Dogwoods,
hollies, jumper, bayberry. Virginia
creeper, blueberries, blackberries and
wild grapes. Not all the thickets on
a farm should be removed, since they
serve to harbor birds. to protect them
from enemies and to furnish nesting
sites Where thickets are lacking
the growth of artificial ones should be
encouraged. for they are very at

not state facts sufficient for an ac-
ton. Pierce, Tenneson a. CupIer

vile and that the defendant knew, or
ought to have known that the funds on
which same were drawn, were the
money OF said Cass county and not the

SOME FEES IRREGULAR
City Attorney Makes Report 20 City
Council on constsbla and Jus.
tlee Fees--scne Irregular.

The feature OF the meeting of the
city council OF Moorhead last night,
was the reading of the report OF City
Attorney Rustad on the legality Of cer-
tain fees collected by the justices and
the CHIEF OF police as a constable. The
report was made by the city attor-
ney pursuant to a resolution adopted
by the council at the last regular
meeting, q SD
The gist' Of the report IL that GER
tain constable and justice fees, charg-
ed in certain cases, common DRINKS
and vagrant cases FOR instance, are
irregular, excessive and illegal. The
city attorney covered the matter very
thoroughly and traced the charter au-
thorities from the beginning. There
was some informal discussion on the
general subject OF fees and tentatively
1t was decided to request charter
amendment to the end that a munich
pal court be established in Moorhead
and the matter will probably be sub
mitted to the voters next spring. or
when the charter commission SO ar
ranges.

Mnrninu Grain Letter.

chicago. Oct. 10.-Wheat: The
weather in the northwest this morn
ing ia clear with seasonable tempera-
tures Our market shows a STEADY
undertone and while the advances
seem hard to hold we prefer the long
tide on recessions.
Corn: No rain is noted in the corn
belt on this mornings map. Yester-
davis government report was possibly
rather more fullish than the trade had
generally anticipated and may cause
some OF the recent sellers to reinstate
themselves In the market. The wealth
or and the volume Of country offerings
are the two important features to
watch at the moment. Speculative
trade generally is light and while tho
cash inquiry is fair and prices are very
firm any increase in offerings might
easily affect the premiums now ruling
for current REGENTS.
Oats. The situation in oats remains
practically unchanged with Chicago
stocks for the past week showing
decrease of only 1900 bushels not
withstanding the light receipts. The
movement is likely to increase tam
porarily and may hold prices in check
Tor the time being.

BLAMED TIE UMPIRE.
And Had Caustic Things 20 Say About
Bad Roads.

Fergus Falls Journal: The Fergus
Falls high. school football eleven took
an automobile trip to wahpeton SAT-
urday and met the Wahpeton boys on
the gridiron there. The Wahpeton
eleven won by score OF five to moth
ing. but some Of the Fergus players
claim that they were beaten by the
umpire rather than by the opposing
team. The automobile trip across was
rather slow affair, as the roads
were very rough and very heavy from
the recent rains. The famous gumbo
soil OF the Red river valley was en-
countered some distance this side OF
Breckenridge, and everyone who has
been through it knows what gumbo
mud means. There were also deep
ruts and pitch holes, and the roads
in general were In horrible shape.
