A BOOSTER OF
THE TELEPHONE
c. R. Fairchild, District Manager
Of the Bell Lines, Has Helped
This Territory Much.
DOUBLED THE LOCAL SERVICE

Lambertville and New Hope have
been greatly benefited by a doub-
ling of the number of Bell phones
on the Jersey side of the Coryell's
Ferry Community, during the past
two or three years, through the
energetic work of C. R. Fairchild,
the district manager located at
Trenton.
Mr.. Fairchild extended the lines
from the Lambertville-New Hope
exchange to Rosemont, Sergeants-
vile, Headquarters, Sandy Ridge,
and all that territory in Delaware
township, Hunterdon county, which
had never had any service other
than hit-or-miss independent COM
pany. which was a practical noneity.
Not only did he do this, but he
has very largely increased the num-
Der of phones in the city of Lambert
vile, and is charging the territory
as rapidly as conditions will permit.
While the Lambertville-New Hope
exchange enjoys mutual territory,
Mr.. Fairchild's work is confined

If anyone had told Jimmy Penderby
five weeks before that~on a certain
fday>in summer he would be lying in a
French trench among the men Of the
foreign legion and aiming his rifle at
the periscOpe of a German sergeant
he would have laughed. Yet such
had happened. Caught in France on
the outbreak of the war, while on his
way home after a years tour on his
wealthy fathers money, he had sim
ply gone to see the fun. He thought
it would be a matter of a month or
two. So did many then.
The mail from home had been first
angry and pleading, then resigned.
His father, whose big house on 9Th
aV. seemed strangely empty, tried to
get Jimmy out through the American
ambassador But Jimmy was ObdU-
rate; he liked his taste of war.

Sc, Whats that?" asked Jimmy, as
his neighbor, interrUpting his reading,
whispered something. He was a 81

The Turk nodded. 'In half an

bayonets fixed and hundred rounds

pocket and forgotten. He moistened

Tho Robin.

with increased difficulty and added Ia
Dor.
The robin is found throughout the
greater portion Of the United States,
the range Of the species extending
into Canada and even Alaska.
While for the most part migratory
in the northern half Of the country,
individuals remain all winter in many
localities where shelter and food are
assured. In eastern Massachusetts,
and at some places farther west there
are cedar swamps which offer an
abundant supply Of wild fruit, and
robins remain throughout the winter
in large numbers. Most of the spe-
Giles, however, spend the winter from
latitude 40 degrees northward as soon
as snow disappears. They arrive in
New England in the latter part Of
March or early In April, and in the
northern states of the Mississippi val
ley somewhat earlier. 1t ia difficult
to say just when fall migration begins,
as the first birds to leave are replaced
by others from farther north.
Reports of depredations upon fruit
by birds come principally from the
prairie regions of the West. This is
just what might be expected, for but
few prairie shrubs produce the wild
berries that the birds prefer and for
lack Of these the birds naturally feed
upon the cultivated varieties availa-
BILE. Reports Of fruit losses caused
by birds in the East are usually from
the immediate vicinity of villages and
towns where there is no natural fruit
bearing shrubbery. From this 1t fol-
lows that an effective remedy for the
ravages Of birds upon cultivated fruits
Is to plant the preferred wild varie-'
ties. or the number of plants which
bear fruit preferred by the robin, many,
are ornamental and are easily OBJ,
tanned. The following are q few Of
the plants the robins are fond of:
Blackberries and raspberries, cherries,
wild black cherries, china berries, flow,
ering dogwood, blueberries, persim-
mons, Mississippi hackberries, western
hackberries, mulberries, cat brier,
green brier, red cedar, pokeberries,
smooth sumac. pepper berries, Ameri.
can holly, woodbine, black gum, and
others.
Investigation of the food OF 1926
robins from AZ states, D. c., and three
Canadian provinces, showed that 1910
per cent of their food was animal mat
ter, and $3.50 per cent vegetable. OF
the latter more than 80 per cent con-
sisted Of fruit, more than four-fifths
Of which were wild species.
While the robin today probably is
doing much more good than harm, a
bird whose diet consists OF so large
percentage Of fruit, may at any time,
become a pest where its natural food,
fails and cultivated varieties are &C,
cessible. The birds must have food
and it Is decidedly preferable to sup
ply the food they desire, and for which
they will amply pay, In the destruction
Of harmful insects, instead Of killing
the birds. ,

1t sometimes happens that clover

is to SOW more clover seed in early

grows the better, for this will keep
the weeds out and the soil will be rich
and mellow.

Damage Done by Little Feathered
songsters, II Any, May Be Re-
duced to MInlmum-Useful In
Reducing Insect Life.
(By r. L. BBALL)

(By r. L. BEALL)
Few native American birds are more
universally cherished than are the
robins. On esthetic grounds alone
they receive free protection, partly
from the romance that clusters about
them in story and legend and partly
because of their graceful shape and
movement, bright color and pleasing
song, and close association with man
and his works.
Investigation discloses that in addi-
ton to their pleasing qualities robins
perform very useful function in
reducing the hordes of insect life con-
stantly prying upon the crops of the
farmer. In this work a large part Of
their food consists Of insects and they
feed their young upon them almost
exclusively. It is recognized that
birds are one of the necessary checks
provided by nature upon the increase
Of the vast number Of insects pro-
duced each year; that without them
there would be q greater destruction
of vegetation, and that certain crops
of the farmer regularly matured
would, If raised at all, be raised only
