It has been estimated that the birds
In the United States save 5000, 900. 900
worth Of crops each year. The tree
sparrows in Iowa eat 1865 pounds OF
weed seed daily. One fully-hedged
robin will eat sixteen feet of cater
pillar daily, or about 1850 individuals
q month. +.
However, in spite Of the persistence
of the birds the apple worm in I'LL.
nois destroys $2,375, 900 worth of fruit
each year. The potato bug damages
potatoes In Massachusetts to the
value of $4,000. The chinch bug an.
nually damages crops in the United
States to the amount Of 10000, 900.
Insects generally destroy $500, 900, 900

Let us protect the birds IL for no

the crops. The insect ravages once

FOUNDER in the ring" as a result
of the beating he handed Jimmy
Evans, the X. c. weller in Mem
phis. The referee stopped the bout
in the seventh round to save Evan,
from gamely taking further pun
ishment
Britton proved to the satisfaction
of Memphis fans that there was a
lot to his contentious he could spill
any of them if he could get time in
the ring. Evans was outclassed
from the tap of the gong, and after
the second round never had a LOOK
in. Memphis newspaper men as
serted that the bout ceased to be
fight after the fourth round. Evan,
was chopping block for BrittonS
shots from then on.
Evans claimed that he was hit
low near the end of the second
session. and that the gong saved
him. He was given time to recuper-
ate, but Britton was his master at
all times and had him practically
helpless after the fourth round
Evans came to Memphis from
Kansas City, highly touted well

Britton gave him some eight
pounds. but the additional weight
availed him nothing save to staye
