Study the Birds.

Farmers Bulletin 5l3(Fifty Common
Birds of Farm and Orceard) is a recent
publication which can he secured free
of charge from the u. S. Department
of Agriculture. 1t gives short des.
criptive text with beautifully colored
illustration of each bird drawn from
nature by the well-known bird artist,
Louis Agassiz Fuertes, and it gives an
account of the most prominent charac-
teristics of the several species from the
standpoint of their relation to man.
Teachers should ask all boys ten
years old and upwards to send for this
bulletin and should sec to it that they
become familiar with its contents. They
should take them out to the fields and
woodlands and help them study the
songs and habits Of the birds and their
marvellous activity and cheerfulness in
performing work of greatest useful
ness to mankind. These outings need
not infringe upon class room work, and
even if they should, the teacher may
well look upon them as part of prac-
tical education which leads to noble as
pirations and makes for better citizen
ship, for nowhere in nature is there a
better example of Industrious actiuity
and of the proper attitude towards la
Dor. Cheerfulness while working is
the most inspiring lesson in the prep
aration for life's work. Nowhere else
is it more forcibly taught than in the
rich, bubbl ng song of the little feath-
cred busybody as it darts from limb to
limb-a veritable dynamo of activity
in search Of injurious insects, or as it
weaves its cozy nest from bits of waste
gathered in all sorts Of hooks and cram
nies.
BY. all means study the birds, my
boy, and learn the lesson, else sooner
OF later you will hear the admonition,
go to the ant, thou sluggard.

A PROCLAMATION

Urges Protection OF Birds and Con.
servation OF Fores,s-M May 9th
Arbor and Bird Day.
j. j. O'CoNNoR,
Village President.

The tremendous commercial value of
forests is fast coming to be appreciat-
ed. Effort is being made throughout
the United States to conserve what re-
mains and so far as possible. reforest
large tracts of territory. Trees have a
value other than commercial. They
are friends to man and beast. Without
friends man is forlofn creature. Ev-
cry choice tree that is planted not only
blesses this generation, but graciously
blesses coming generations.
Birds too have en- economic value in
the distribution of plant life and in the
destruction of harmful insects. They
also have a higher valle. Literature
abounds in illusions to birds, their
nests, songs, food, fight, migration,
plumaye AMI habits. On account of
their beauty countless numbers of our
winged friends have been killed to meet
the ruthless demands of fashions. May
the fathers and mothers and their chill
dren of today use their best efforts to
preserve and perpetuate the lives OF
our useful and beautiful birds. Love
for birds is akin to love for man.
Therefore, ], Woodbridge N. Ferris,
Governor of The State of Michigan, do
hereby designate Friday, May 9th, A.
d. 1918, as Arbor and Bird Day, and
do request that this day be observed by
all schools. public and private, and 9TH
er educational institutions by the plant
ing of trees for beautifying school

suitable exercises for promoting the
spirit Of protection 10 trees and birds.
