MAKES PLEA FOR THE BIRDS
Milwaukee Newspaper Points Out
How Necessary They Are In War.
rina on Insect World.

War and rumors Of war are on
every side and occupy our minds a
large part Of the time. There is an
ever present fear of danger to Dur
country. There is a real danger which
is not considered as seriously or as
frequently as it should be. There Is
in many localities a reckless destruc-
ton of bird life. THE hawk has
caught a chicken is the cry. The
hawk must be shot. The owl shares
his fate. This is without thought Of
the thousands of moths and injurious
insects which they have destroyed,
thus enabling you to enjoy some OF
the fruits you have been endeavoring
to raise. Had these birds not helped
you by killing insects, you would have
no fruit at all. The North American
calls attention to the fact that "one
pair of gypsy moths, unchecked, would
in eight years produce a brood that
would destroy every vestige OF foliage
in the United States" What is the
value Of one fowl, compared with the
thousands Of injurious insects de-
| stroyed? These birds also relieve you
of an army Of mice that are destruc-
| tive. Many other birds are the good
friends of man, clearing trees from
scale, and various injurious things
that, unaided. he would be unable to
cope with. Instead Of killing every
hawk or owl you see. learn about the
birds and discover which among them
are our friends. Few birds deserve
death at your hand. Without the birds
man can scarcely live at all. and II
existing, would be deprived Of almost
every comfort and pleasure.-Milwau

dangerous necessity of coming to the
surface for that purpose, is announced
by Mr.. Hudson Maxim. the inventor.

How to mark permanently the rest

From a member of the Overseas

the isolated graves and along the
roads leading to the cemeteries. He
