FRIENDS OF THE FARMER.

The Department Of Agriculture has
come to the relief of the grosbeak.
He is very much maligned bird,
this high authority AYERS, and instead
of being destructive to crops, is OF
great benefit 10 the farmer. A bulle-
tin Just issued by Secretary Wilson
says that seven kinds Of fnches
known as grosbeaks summer within
the boundaries OF the United States.
They are easily distinguished from
other finches by their stout form,
bright plsmage, massive bills and
melodlous voices. Those which most
interest the farmer are lye In num-
berthe rose-breasted. the cardinal or
redbird, the black-headed, the blue
and the gray. The bulletin concludes
as follows: Present Investigations
prove that the services of the gros-
beak in destroying insect pests are In
valuable. Each kind pays especial at.
tention to certain pests which II un'
checked would cause enormous loss,
Few OF our birds are to be credited
with more good and with fewer evils
than the grosbeak, and none more
clearly deserves protection by the
practical farmer" The probability ia
that the farmer would do better tc
protect the whole race Of birds thar
10 look with federation on their indis
criminate slaughter.

New York and New Jersey are max
ing a joint study of the evils OF cold
storage. bill is pending in congress
looking to a reformation of the same
evil, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The question is large one, with
many angles. II is not so much talked
about as II was year ago, but still
merits the attention Of legislative
bodies. Cold storage OF food products
Is a modern necessity. Rightly used.
Il serves the public by keeping prices
steady. by storing in the season of
plenty for use in the season of nat
ural shortage. No one argues against
cold storage as an institution. 1t ia
when food is held back in order to
maintain abnormally high prices,
when It is kept so long that 1t be-
comes poisonous, when cold storage
Is made a curse instead Of blessing
10 mankind, that government must
step in with restraining hand. The
period OF storage should be strictly
limited, and the sale of stored prod
nets rigidly regulated.

DON'T WANT PATCHED UP MEN
Surgeons Wants War Department TO
Dismiss Them--Govern-
ment Loses.

Misunderstanding surgeons are
urging the War Department TO act
with greater promptness in discharg-
ing soldiers for physical disability IN
stead OF trying to patch up worthless
men for duty which they cannot
properly perform.
The chief surgeon Of the Depart
ment OF the East has called attention
to some specific instances where SOL
diers transferred to recruiting depots
with a view to their discharge had
been held under observation and
treatment for several months.
Zone case" he says, diagnosed
'neuritis remained 21S days; an
other, 'ununited fracture l6l days.
still another hammer toes, l2S days
When 1t is recalled that these men
were probably on sick report at their
posts an average of 80 days before
being recommended for discharge, 1t
is reasonable to estimate that the
government lost by the present plan
with these cases alone the equivalent
OF the services of an effective soldier
for more than an entire enlistment.
THE army is neither an elee-
mosynary institution nor a place for
the physically inefficient and such
should not be kept in 1t to the exclu-
sion of At soldiers. Four months
should ordinarily be the maximum
period for keeping men on the sick
reports, then discharge and the sol
diers' home. If recovery ultimately
occurs the question OF re-enlistment
can be considered on its merits"

BAYONNE FIRE COST
STANDARD OIL $l0O, 900

BAYONNE, Nov. 9.-Because of the
fire that followed the explosion OF q
couple of oil tanks In the Constable
Hook yards of the Standard Oil Com
pany, Bayonne, Monday night, fourteen
other tanks were ''buckled" with the
heat to such an extent as to render
them practically useless. To prevent
their contents from taking fire II was
deemed necessary to draw off all the
oil, which was allowed to run to waste,
as there was no room In any of h re-
naming tanks to hold 1t.
At a conservative estimate something
over $4,000 gallons of oil were turned
loose to go where II willed after being
piped a sufficient distance from the
scene of the fire. Including the loss
of the oil and what it will cost to re-
build the damaged tanks the loss, 1t
is estimated, will not fall short Of $780,
900.
The blaze still lives. tut the yard
fire department of the Standard Oil
Company has it well under control. 1t
will probably be a day or two yet be-
fore the fire burns itself out.

BANK BOOKKEEPER'S ERROR
STARTED FORGERY GANG.
Former Newarkers Said to Have
Cleared 100000.

According to the detectives connect
ed with police headquarters in New
York a mistake made by a booklkeeper
of the Essex County National Bank, of
his city, in 1906 ave the tip to the
gang of forgers who are said to have
looted banks for nearly $4,000 Charles
earliest, Louis l. Schutzberger and Isa-
dore Weis are the three men under ar
rest for the forgeries and the police
are seeking an artist, who painted the
checks which fooled the bankers.
Schutzberger and Weiss were keep
ing a cigar store here at liz Springfield
avenue in 1906, the police say. when
Schutzberger discovered that the bank
b%ookkeeper in balancing his book had
credited him with 1915 too much. Be
fore the bank discovered its error the
cigar store keepers had disappeared.
This is believed to have started the
criminal career of the two. and the
ironical part of 1t is that their gang
cheated the Essex County National
Bank on a check for $500 two years
later.
