to compliment Montpelier and said that
recent day and night in New York
were enough and he would give more for
Montpelier than for the whole metrop-
oils. Here the mountains, with their
fresh air, are a refreshing substitute for
the automobiles, motors and gasoline
odors OF New York, and here, too, the
children are acquainted with birds and
bird lore.
He endeayored to show the value Of
birds TO industries, destroying worms
and insects to an enormous extent.
Sparrows have saved $32,0000O0 to our
