UNCLE SAN AND HIS SINGERS.

UNCLE SAN AND HIS SINGERS.
Birds were formerly looked upon
a little more than targets for small
boys. :. The farmer thought they did
nothing but eat his grain. and that
did not arouse his appreciation.
Others thought that.birds did nothing
but sing and chatter near the window
at daybreak when sleep was more
agreeable than any music. .
Quite recently. scientific agricul-
turists have shown that most birds
are among the best workers on q
farm. without wages, they prevent
thousands of dollars damage to crops
each year by catching harmful
insects.
Three bills. providing federal pro-
lection for migratory birds. are now
before Congress. Congress has re-
fused several times to pass such
law, because 1t was objected that
such a statute would be unconstitu-
tional. But there is q precedent for
such protection now, for two federal
laws protect migratory nsh. even
when found in waters entirely under
the control Of states. However, the
constitutionality Of these laws has
never been passed upon. Considering
this and the fact that the states are
shamefully neglectful Of the ques-
ton, there ID need for national legis-
lation.
But the birds do more than eat
weed-seed and catch bugs. They
Withstand the cold Of tickle spring to
tell of the leaves and flowers that are
to come. They make summer the
better With their songs- and some
can really sing. They give music. and
show what ID beautiful BY their
colors. In return. Uncle Sam shorld
give them protection.

The storm of Monday did consfeGr- able damage at Quonocontaue beach, the sea wall at East beach being in~ jured and washed away for a distance of 4G feet. Great havoc was wrought to the cottages along the beach. One owned by Mrs. Jane Francis of Pitts burg was carried to sea. the cottage of Mrs. F. M Swartmont of Troy com pletely demolished and that of Carl Barrett of Providence was moved from it's foundation and dropped to the beach. One who knows declares 1t to have been the most severe storm on land and sea combined that has pre- vailed in that section for 45 years.
