Rudolph l. Hatch, born March %, 1856,
passed peacefully out after a courageous
struggle OF seven months. on July q, 1913
He was the son of George A. and Minnie
Robertson Hatch. He married Miss Clara
Robertson, who survives him, with two
small children hardly old enough to
realize the loss Of the sunny presence OF
the young father.
Mr.. Hatch was an ideal specimen OF
healthy young manhood until last winter.
Early in January, an aoscess broke in his
throat, the poison passing into his system
which later developed Brights disease.
During all these weary months he
never lost courage or complained to make
harder the task OF the loving nands which
have ministered unto him and the break
ing hearts that have watched the shadow
settle
The services were at tue Robertson
home Friday morning, conducted by Res.
L. >. Drew, OF Winter Harbor, where.
amid wealth OF flowers and surrounded
by true and loyal friends and neighbors,
beautiful and Impressive service was
held.
To the yoang widow, who, with won
derful fortitnde, has cared for her hus-
band day and night; TO the father and
mother, who have lost their only son, TO
the sister, Miss Doris Hatch, the grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Robertson, who
have given him all the care of a son, and
to all those nearest and dearest to the
young life, the sympathy OF every heart is
given.

THE Making OF Big Lacquer" It Is
the story OF one of the greatest ball
players in the United States as told
by himself to MIR. Fullerton. This
player was country boy and, OF
course, began to play the game early.
He tells the following story about an
incident OF his boyhood:
Father had hired man named
Ned, tail, quiet fellow with pair Of
blue eyes that seemed always about
to laugh. but seldom did. lie had been
with us a year. He got drunk perl

WHY NOT MORE BIRDS?

Since most birds eat insects, and
since many birds eat practically moth.
ing else, 1t is their insect.eating habits
that chiefly interest the farmer.
When birds are permitted to labor
undisturbed, they are continually
searching the earth and air. The
thrushes, sparrows, larks and wrens
search the surface of the earth for
insects. or hunt among leaves and
under logs for them. The warblers,
vireos, creepers and nuthatches with
their microscopic eyes scan every part
of the tree or shrub--trunks, branches
and leaves--and few living things es'
cape them. The woodpeckers, not
content with carefully scrutinizing the
bark and limbs of trees, dig into de-
cayed and worm-eaten wood and drag
forth the burrowing worms, which In
their hidden retreats are safe from
other enemies. The ily-catchers, aided
by the warblers, are even on the alert
to snatch up insects when flying among
trees and branches; while the swal-
lows and nighthawks skim over the
pastures and patrol the air high above
the tree tops for such of the enemies
as have escaped pursuit below.
Thus each family plays Its part In
the never.ending warfare, and the
number of insects annually consumed
by the combined hosts n simply meal.

stomachs of such birds to the number
OF several thousand has established
the fact that their food consists al.
most entirely OF injurious mammals
and insects. And that, accordingly,
these birds are in most cases posi-.

should be fostered and protected.
Among tho wholly beneficial are the
large, rough-legged hawk; its near rel.

kites.
The class that is beneficial in the
main-that is. whose depredations are
OF little consequence as compared with

March hawk, Harris hawk. red.taIled
