THE BIRDS LET US LIVE.
These Insect DestrOyers Lengthen
Enormously Mans Life.

Birds live to eat. 1t is luckily for
men they do, for if the birds did not
breakfast men would not dine. Some
years ago a French scientist told the
world that if all the birds should
suddenly die man would have only
a years life left him. The French
man proved his point to the satisfac-
ton of other scientists, but laymen
laughed and the usual proportion of
them kept on killing.
Why should not robin or a cedar
bird or a catbird or any other bird
eat an occasional cherry? Their din
ners of cut worms, caterpillars and
other things noxious make cherry
dessert their due.
How much does a bird eat? Take
the robin as an example. 1t eats at
certain seasons of the year about
double it's weight in insects and
worms every day A man in order
to satisfy an equally well developed
appetite would have to eat about 800
pounds of food all told in his three
daily meals.
The birds dinner hour begins at
sunrise and ends an hour after sun
set. Any legislation looking to the
shortening of its hours of labor,
which are coincident with it's hours
of eating, would bring famine. All
the song birds and all the silent
birds give their service to man, and
they ask no pay for it except to be
let alone.

PACKERS SAY A MEAT FAMINE IS NEAR

and prevailing shade as a beef pro-
ducing country
Substitution Of corn for cotton in
the Southern states and the conse-
quent development of cattle and hog
production.
The report of the executive COM
mittee sounded a note of the danger
of famine.
The American meat packing
house situation and that of consum-
ers of meat food products in this
country are both in a condition more
precarious than at any other time in
our history" the report stated. 1--WE
are facing conditions in the produc-
tion of meat food products which
would have been thought impossible
ten years ago. The shortage upon
us, as packing house producers for
several years, has been intensified
during the last year Our popula-
ton is growing at its normal rate.
The farmers are not furnishing
nearly a sufficient number of animals
to keep the packing houses in opera
ton on anything like full time and
this results in heavy losses, owing
to lack of volume of business, and
there seems to be no prospect of re-
lief.
Despite the higher prices for
live stock of all kinds statistics show
that the farmers not only are not in
.creasing the production of meat food
animals, but that such production
is decreasing at an appalling rate. ;"

PERENNIAL COTTON PROMISED
A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY IN
ART OF GRATING REPORTED.
A German Scientist Claims to Have
Produced Disease Resisting
Cotton Plants.

A very remarkable discovery has
been made in the art of grating,
which is hoped may revolutionize
cotton growing. Trials are to be
made in all cotton growing countries
along the lines already attempted in
Portuguese East Africa, where the
crop has been converted from an an
nual into a perennial.
In ordinary grating the "scion
of a cultivated variety is grated on
to a wild stock The stock gives
vigor, but does not affect the nature
of the graft. 1t is now found that
the nearer the stock and the scion
are in relationship the better are the
results.
A German scientific gardener was
the first to graft the parent on the
child. First of all, he CRAFTS after
the usual fashion, inserting cult
waited scion" on a wild stock. Next,
growing a Seeding from the fruit Of
this tree, he uses this Seeding for
his stock, and CRAFTS on to it scion
of the parent. By this means it is
credibly claimed that he can produce
disease-resisting cotton bushes which
do not degenerate, and have other
advantageous qualities.
Many noted botanists have spoken
very highly of the prospects opened
by the method, especially with re-
gard to cotton, and it is strongly
urged that our government should
make a trial.

GIRL LOOKING FOR LOST MINE
Talented Young Woman in Male At

ShoVelS in the SieIras.

oAAOhCAS Jl1O C1CEEdSs
Miss Frances Leighton, talented
young woman of Oakland, Cal, has
abandoned a study of music to work
with pick and shovel in male attire
in remote canyon in the southern
Sierras. She is searching for a lost
gold mine, and the talisman of her
quest is rude diagram scrawled by
the hand of a dying man, her grand
father, John Easton.
Easton went to California in 1S49
and was fatally injured while pros
pecting in the southern part of the
state. He told of the discovery Of a
rich vein and drew the diagram of its
location while dying, according to
the story that has come down to the
present-day Leightons. His daugh-
ter, then seven years old, later mar
ried c. P. Leighton in Sacramento
and the family went to Oakland to
live. 1t was when their daughter,
Miss Frances, found the ancient
drawing and learned the story of her
grandfather's death that she obtain

THAW SPENDS AN
ENJOYABLE DAY
Takes Automobile Ride and Long
Hike, and Says 1t Makes Him Feel
Like Getting a Good Sleep.

CONCORD, N. H.-"This has been
the most enjoyable day I have had in
years." said Harry K. Thaw as he re-
turned from long automobile ride
in the country today. The outing
was arranged by Sheriff Drew, who
has Thaw in custody pending the
outcome of the extradition hearing
before Gov. Felker Tuesday.
The automobile whirled out of the
city through the village of Penacook,
twelve miles distant, to Boscawan.
There the inviting fields along the
boulevard attracted Thaw, who got
down to stretch his legs. When he
climbed back into the car after walk
ing two miles Thaw's cheeks had a
healthy flush.
This has made me feel like going
to bed early and getting a good
Sleep said Thaw when he got back
But before carrying out that part OF
the program he went over with his
lawyers the results of their all-day
search in the law books of the state
library for presidents bearing on the
extradition proceedings. The law
yers expressed confidence that they
had a strong case for the governor s
consideration.
