Pheasant Blessing or Curse?

Is the pheasant a blessing or a
curse? This is a question the
farmers are much interested in,
and might furnish good mater
ial for one of the grange debates.
There is quite u lot of adverse
criticism of the game laws pro-
tecting the pheasant from the
farmer, and at first blush it
would seem that this criticiem
has considerable merit.
The farmer feels that the pro-
pagation Of any sort of animal
that eats up his wheat, his corn
or his oats, is a menace on his
business and he naturally chafes
a little under the collar when a
lot of legislators get together and
pass laws that force him to feed
what to him seems a pest, and
not a benefit, looking forward to
the day when the sportsman may
come forth and enjoy Il few days
shooting.
On the other hand there are o
few even in the ranks of the far,
mer who claim that the pheasant
is not a curse but a blessing tc
the farmer, and that the beauti.
full little bird pays for its keel
several times over by the aid il
lends in destroying worms anc
bugs and grasshoppers, which
would otherwise do much more
damage to growing crops thar
the pheasant. 1t is claimed the
pheasant not only catches the
grasshopper and eXterminates
him but that it finds the eggs
and destroys them also, as it doe.
numerous other pestifferous in
sects. SO, there seems to b,
some arguments for as well a.
against the pheasant, and it il
probable that there are those OF
either side who will be hard t,
convert.

Children's Day Exercises.

The Children's Day exercises
at the Methodist church last
Sunday night brought out con-
gregation which more than taxed
the capacity of the audience and
class rooms combined, and a
large number stood throughout
the service.
There was not a moment APP
parently when the intense inter-
est was not maintained, although
the exercises lasted till 9:15. The
congregation left the church loud
III their praises of the children
and young people and their in
structor, Mrs. IL, C.. Fields, who
showed so much ability in the
training, and devoted so much
time, so that there was not a
single flaw in the rendering of
any part Of the program. The
little tots did their parts so we'll
that they were generously APP
plauded by the audience.
The duet rendered by Haze
Robinson and Helen Van Dyke
was also highly spoken of, while
the flower drill by ten girls was
absolutely perfect. The twelve
boys in the flag drill also showed
considerable merit. In fact they
