Is SO much easier than answering the
numerous questions asked me as
manager of the Lakeland Citizens
band. There seems to be misun
dcrstanding about our band which |
and the other members would like to
have Strengthened out. This band
vas organized over one year agJ
when there was no such organization
in Lakeland. We organized this band
for the sole purpose of giving every
young man in this town a chance to
secure a musical education. To this
end We secured a teacher in the per-
son of Prof. b. Janowski. While not
being a first class musician, we be-
lievc and have been told by first
class musicians that he is the man
for this position, and there is not an
instrument in our band or any band
that he cannot both play and teach
He has demonstrated this fact to us
and deserves the credit OF takinc
young men of this town who did not
knew one thing about music and in
three months time We played our
first concert. OF course II was not

ANOTHER PLEA FOR THE IN.
SECT DESTROYING BIRDS

Another direction in which VIC are

equilibrium is in the wholesale de-
s.ruction which is going on I'M
checked of insect and secd-eatinS
birds. by series of careful tests
Of certain areas in New ENGLAND it
has been asccrtaincd with approx
mate accuracy how many birds OF
different species habitually lived in
them, and by an examination OF
their stOmachs and watching them
feeding their young how many in
scots they destroyed in a season. For
a few square miles 1t runs into hun
dreds OF thousands, to say nothin.,
OF the hundreds of bushels of weed
seeds which they eat. 1t is estimated
that If the birds were all exterminat
cd there would be no vegetation lc!t
in three years. unless there shOnl!

snakes. bats and lizards.
In spite Of these conditions, which
the farmers do not appear to realize,
the slaughter Of useful birds goes on.
In some of the States it has been

birds, such as robins, fickcrs mead

that, like the wild pigeon, they will
wholly disappear. There seems to
be but one way TO prevent such
calamity, and that is by securn-
favorable action promptly on what
is known as the Mclean bill, nov
lending in Congress, which will pro-
tect the migratory birds. Every far
rler should write his Senators and
representatives urging immediate
action. The official figures for las
year show a loss in farm produces
by insect ravages of $500, 900. i

whether it shall be largely and dis
astrously increased. If the farmers

Furthermore, let every bird lovoi
