Why We Should Save the Birds.

Eight hundred million dollars a
year is the annual loss to farmers by
reason of insects, is the official Wash
ington estimate. The Hessian fly cost
the wheat-growing states fifty million
dollars in 1904. Chinch bugs in one
year damaged the crops in the Mis-
sissippi basin hundred million dol
lars. Cutworms have caused a loss
of one hundred million dollars in a
season. Rocky Mountain locusts
have cost the northwest in one year
as much as hundred and fifty mil
lions.
The plague Of insects accounts for
greater crop losses than do foods or
drought, and the plague is always
potentially terrible. For instance.
the green leaf louise of aphis repro
duces its kind at the rate of ten SEX
tillion to the pair in one season. The
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1912-05-09

potato bug reproduces at the rate of
fifty to sixty millions in one season.
Unchecked natural increase of one
pair of gypsy moths would defoliate
the United States in eight years.
What alone keeps. down insect life
so that we can live? Bird life. Birds
mainly live to eat, and insects are
their food. The appetite of birds for
insects is as astonishing as that OF
insects for plants. A young robin
ate sixty EIGHT worms in one day. A
young crow will eat twice it's weight
in day. A plague of caterpillars in
1898 in New England and New York
was stayed by the birds by 1900.
Blackbirds redeemed Nebraska from
the locusts in 1865. Sea-gulls once
saved Utah from crickets. In Europe
in 184S titmouses and wrens wiped out
a horde of gypsy moths.
Reduce the bird life and at once the
insect life gets a chance. French
harvests for many years we're a
failure because of slaughter of birds
and destruction of eggs by insects.
Conservation of bird life is the

Delegates Pay Their Own Expenses.

A Milo man, in personal letter to
the editor, inquiries, "Who pays the
expenses of delegates to political con-
ventions?" The delegates are &C.
corded the privilege of paying their
own expenses for the honor of going.
1t would be simply impossible for the
candidates to defray the expenses OF
delegates. Occasionally we have
heard of collections being taken up to
defray the expenses of delegates to
political conventions, but usually
there are enough patriots willing to
60 to conventions for the honor of
going, and for the sake of helping out
friends in whom they are interested.
The writer has attended scores of
political conventions in the past IS
years and he can truthfully say no
one has ever paid one dollar of his
expenses.

Seventeenth of May Celebration

Seventeenth of May Celebration.
Norwegian Independence day will
be celebrated at the Lutheran church,
Glendorado, and Hon. E. E. Lobeck
will be the orator of the day. Nor
ways day of independence is cele-
brated in the fatherland for the same
reason that the Fourth of July is cele-
brated in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in
foreign lands, where they are found in
any great number, invariably cele-
brate it. The people of Glendorado
are largely of Norwegian descent and
lovers OF liberty, and they are actu-
ated by the highest patriotic motives
in giving due observance to this day
they desire to commemorate the
most important battle for the freedom
of their fatherland, when a band of
patriots achieved victory for popular
government On May II, 1914.
The celebration will be in charge of
the following committee, members of
the Young Peoples society: Ida Lee,
president; Alma johnson, secretary;
Mr.. Abrahamson, treasurer; Louis
I2usness, Knute Kittilson, Julia Kittil-
son. Ed Indrehus will preside over
the exercises and will make a short
opening address. George Selke,
uperintendent OF the Benton county
schools, will also be one of the speak
ers, and Prof. Claude Lance of Foley,
the well-known baritone soloist, will
take part in the musical features of
the program. The program will con-
sist of the following numbers:
Opening address, Ed Indrehus;
song, 'Ja vi Elskerz, "choir; speech,
Geo. Selke; baritone solo, Claude
Lance; selection, Anderson's orches-
ira; Grafton, Hon. E. E. Lobeck;

"America, audience.
Lunch will be served on the Luther
an church picnic grounds at noon and
the exercises will begin at p. m.
sharp. The committee extends a
cordial invitation to the general pub
lie to attend this patriotic celebra-
ton.

St. Cloud In Same Roat.

We note that Princeton is not the
only place which is badly in need of
tlrst-class hotel. st. Cloud is also
clamoring for a hostelry of this sort.
Here is what the Journal-Press SAYS:
lone Of the immediate wants of st.
Cloud is frst-class modern hotel.
The growth of the city demands it and
We are losing much business for lack
OF good hotel accommodation. There
is plenty of business to make a first
class hotel paying proposition, and
prospective investors should be given
all reasonable encouragement"
The same conditions prevail in
Princeton and the above extract ex-
actly covers the situation.

The New Train Arrangement.

The only difference which the new
time schedule, which went into effect
on Monday, has made is a mere
matter of nine minutes on the evening
train-it leaves at 500 instead of
5:1l. The time of the morning train
remains the same. The Princeton train
goes no further than Milaca. Passen-
gers bound for points east of Milaca
must change at that place and take
the Willmar train which now runs
to Sandstone. So far as the pas
senger service between here and
Duluth is concerned, the rearrange-
ment of trains will prove very incon-
venient to the travelling public. For
instance: A person leaving Princeton
for Duluth will first have to change
cars at Milaca for Sandstone. When
he arrives at that point he will again
have to leave the train and wait until
3 or o'clock the next morning before
he can proceed. This Encouragement
savors Of the early days of railroad
ing, and it is a change that should
never have been made. The travelling
public is certainly entitled to some
consideration, but the railroads seem
to think that it matters not how much
Inconvenience the passengers are put
to so long as they (the railroads.

Minneapolis hospital last week, as
the result of criminal operation al
legged to have been performed by DR..
F. Q. Ilstrup of Grasston.
1tappears that Mrs. Anderson was
a resident of Isanti. She was the
mother of four children and earned a
livelihood by taking in washing and
was also given aid by the county; her
husband is an inmate of an insane
hospital; the family formerly resided
in the town of Stanford. Charles
Nelson, an Isanti blacksmith, who
had been divorced from his wife, be-
came intimate with Mrs. Anderson,
and as a result of that intimacy an
operation is alleged to have been per-
formed by DR.. Ilstrup of Grasston,
from the results of which the woman
died in Minneapolis hospital.
Dr.. Ilstrup and Nelson we're ar
rested by. the sheriff of Kanabec
county and charged with man
slaughter. The doctor gave bonds in
the sum of 81, 500 to await the action
of the Kanabec county grand jury,
Nelson could not furnish bail and
was. committed to the st. Cloud Jail
for safe keeping. He became very
Respondent, and last Friday he took
a ckain that was attached to his cot,
wrapped it around his neck and de-
liberately strangled himself to death.
Surely the way of the transgressor is
hard.
Although the man and woman in.
volved in the affair were both resi-.
dents of Isanti county the alleged
criminal operation was performed al
Grasston in Kanabec county, hence
DR.. Ilstrup's guilt or innocence will
be determined by a jury of thai
county.

Shameful Neglect of Roads.

The Union does not like to find
fault, but it is shame that that rock
surfaced road across the Baldwin flats
was not repaired early this spring.
That town has the means and the
material to put that road in good con-
dition. Two or three more rain
storms and the crushed rock on the
lower end of the road will have dis
appeared from view in the mud. We
are aware that this is busy time OF
the year for farmers, but the neces-
sary repairs could and should have
been made a month or more ago.
Once that piece of road is put. in
proper shape it can be kept in good
condition constantly at trifing ex-
pense. No road was ever built but
what needs little attention once in a
while. A few shovelfuls of crushed
rock would fill some of the ruts in
that Baldwin road today, while two
or three months hence wagon load
Will De necessary.
In this connection, the Greenbush
road leading west from this village is
a woeful example of criminal neglect.
That road was clayed and graveled
at an expense of several thousand
dollars, and at an expense of not to
exceed $50 annually it could have been
kept in excellent condition Indefinite
ly, but today it is as full of ruts as a
sieve is of holes. It is simply dam
nable that that Greenbush road was
permitted to get in it's present deplor-
able condition, and the authorities of
the town and village of Princeton are
blamabIe.
