BIRDS AND THEIR ENEMIES.

recent report OF the United States
bureau OF entomology constitutes one
OF the strongest arguments magma
bic upon the absolute economic folly
OF DISCRIMINATING Americas bird life
This country. says bureau expert,
suffers each year through insects a
loss aggregating S1.2OO.OOO,OOO; 70
dents cost US S20O,OOO.OOO; weeds
more than $4OO.OOO.OO0. These are
staggering figures. indeed. They need
not be infinitely accurate to point a
moral as obvious az 1t IS important.
very thinking person knows they
are near enough the truth to make
the warning significant. In natures
line balance OF living agencies the
birds found their largest utility in
keeping the insect pests OF mankind
in subsection. Not all birds eat In
sects, but most do. Others destroy
rodents, and many eat the seeds Of
weeds. 1t was a fine scheme OF econ
omy nature had. Man In his cruel
blindness has upset the balance. He
has made plumage fashionable for
hats and gloritied bird dinners. Even
pothunting has been winked at a
policy widely recognized as iudefensi-
bic has been followed for years
America foots the bill for her own in
difference. The first punishment is
visited upon the farmers. but its eff
fects are felt by every family in the
land.

ADVERTISING III
THE SEaALL TOWNS
BY BERT ST. CLAIR.

The average coontry merchant ad.
vertises in his home weekly news
paper because he feels that he should
give the editor some announcement
Hence, because he takes little or
no interest in what his advertisement
says, he seldom changes it, and still
more seldom does he have anything
In the announcement that grips the
reader, and thereby brings him
trade
The average advertisement in
weekly newspaper reads like a label
The majority of them state that the
advertiser IS still at the same old
stand" or handles the best goods in
town. Few OF them deal in anything
but generalities
Such advertisements probably are
not worth anywhere near what they
cost. About all they do is to keep
the name Of the merchant before the
reader. But in a small community.
practically everyone knows a mer-
chant who has been in business any
length OF time. so simply having ones
name before the public can be OF
but little benefit under such condi-
tons
Many country merchants leave the
writing OF their advertisements to the
editor. They order their space. some.
times amounting to a page. and tell
him to write them a good announce
ment." They do not furnish him with
single price or a selling argument
Of any kind. All he gets is orders to
I'LL the space
At one time. while I was struggling
In small town to get a start as an
advertisement writer. asked the larg-
est advertiser there to permit me to
do some work for him, free.
All right" he replied, write me a
two page advertisement and bring It
around in couple of hours"
Then he hurried into his store. seat
ed himself on a counter and lighted a
cigar. He never thought It necessary
that l have something upon which to
base my selling argument.
1t used to be the custom in a coun-
try town ! often Visited to hold a
county fair every fall. Just prior to
the holding of the last one. several
years ago. a liveryman placed in his
home paper this advertisement:
When you come to the country fair
feed your horses at Blanks stable"
The fair was a financial failure and
no attempt has since been made to
hold another in that town. Yet two
years after the first insertion of the
liveryman's advertisement it was stfll
running exactly as it was originally
set up.
Curious to know what benefit. II
any he thought he derived from Il.
l asked him one day why he did not
change his advertisement
90" he replied. advertising doesn't
pay. anyhow, and l might as we'll have
that announcement as any other in
the paper"
In that particularly case advertis
Ing certainly did not pay.
An insurance agent in that same
town changes his advertisement every
week. Recently I congratulated him
upon his enterprise
Yes" he responded. "I do change
1t every week; but I have to watch
1t pretty closely. If l don't change
1t the editor won't"
When the country merchant learns
to write snappy advertising, filed
with good selling argument and prices
then will he have less cause to sit bv
the stove in the rear of his store and
assail the mail order houses and
the men who are behind the parcels
post bill.
