Birds As Mans Allies.

Memphis Commercial Appeal.l
We do not properly appreciate our bird
life. We forget that birds are mans allies,
not mans enemies. We should protect,
not kill our feathered friends.
Study the bird life of America, find what
wonderful help they are to the farmer in
the destruction of insect life.
The Smithsonian Institution has per-
formed real service to the human race
as we'll as to agriculture in America in
printing in its annual report the analysis
by James Buckland of the value of birds,
even sparrows, to man as a friend in the
struggle against the insect enemies of the
crops and gardens that endanger animal
life and all vegetable organisms.
AS Buckland points out, one pair of
gypsy moths would in eight years multiply
so as to destroy the foliage of the United
States, and one pair of potato bugs would
develop, if unchecked, so 100000 in sin
gle season. A caterpillar eats twice its
weight every day. Certain flesh eating
Larvae consume 200 times their original
weight is twenty hours. The silk
worm in ffty-six days has eaten $4,000
times what it weighed at the start.
The struggle of human beings against
Viz "liOSoo oSooeo ol10 eA1O tAAOoV pOAootIOuo
reptiles has been successful. Against in
sects man has made but little Roadway.
The birds are his natural allies. Instead
of encouraging them, he hes been killing
them off for sport, for pleasure or because
he imagines they damage his garden.
The English sparrow, condemned by
Americans, has saved New Zealand from
the caterpillar and Australia from the
grasshopper. Pennsylvania killing. of
hawks and owls led to more than 50 ,OO0, 900
damage from small rodents. Montana was
guilty of like absurdity: and had to offer
later on bounties for killing the rodents
which the owls and hawks had killed prior
to this time free.
If any one will carefully and consider
ately take a general survey of agriculture
in this country they will agree with the
statement Of Mr.. auckland. Our farmers
to-day are spending greater amount OF
energy, time and money in fighting the
insect peril to plant life than their ances-
tors ever thought of 100 years ago.
AS birds go, the insects come. After all
the birds are gone, no one can say wha,
will happen. The warning is timely. Re-
member birds are allies of man. Treat them
as friends. Protect them and encourage
them to multiply. Plant life needs their
SERVICES

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

New Orleans States: The last enemy to
enter the lists against Kaiserism will be
Civilization, and it will conquer.
Memphis Commercial Appeal: If the
German Kaiser finally takes the position
that the act of sinking the Lusitania as it
was done meets his approval, then he be-
comes an International outlaw.
Louisville Courier Journal: Since the
invasion of Begun Germany's word has
not been worth. any scrap of paper upon
which any German diplomat could pledge
it if commissioned by the Kaiser to give a
written guarantee. The Kaiser-who is the
German Government-has amply proved
himself an untrustworthy person, as we'll
as the greatest eutthroat of the period and
the ruler least appreciative of the spirit OF
civilization and least acquainted with its
definition.

Gems of Thought.

Syrus: Take care that no one hates you
justly.
Hill: He who puts on guilt must cast off
shame.
Seneca: An honest heart possesses a
kingdom.
Goldsmith: The loud laugh that spoke
the vacant mind.
Tacltus: Power acquired by guilt was
never used for good purpose.
Lucan: He believed that he was born.
not for himself, but for the whole world.
Byron: The drying of a single tear has
more of honest fame than shedding seas Of
gore.
Swift: Law is bottomless pit; it is a
cormorant-a harpy that devours every
thing.
"For if man thinketh himself to be
something and he is nothing, he deceiveth
HIMSELF
Napoleon: The reason beat the Aus
TRANS is, they did not know the value of
five minutes.
Dickens: Have heart that never hard
that never hurts.
Rev. D. E. Hawk: Religion has been
made to mean a variety of things. Christ s
idea of it never stops this side of behaving
yourself.
John McDonogh: The conclusion at
which have arrived is that without temper
ance there is 10 health, without virtue no
order, without religion no happiness and
that the sum of our being is to live wisely,
soberly and righteously.
Hare: We need not be afraid that we
shall 60 too far in serving others. There
is no danger that any of US will ever go too
far in the walk of active love. There is no
likelihood that any of US will become too
kind, too helpful to his neighbor.
John Alfred Langford: AS friends and
companions, as teachers and CONSIDERS, as
recreators and amusers, books are always
with US, and always ready to respond to
our wants. We can take them with us in
our wanderings, or gather them round US
at our firesides. In the lonely wilderness
and the crowded city, their spirit will be
with US, giving meaning to the seemingly
confused movements of humility, and peo-
ping the desert with their own bright
| creations

Thou shalt 60 to all that shall send thee,
and whatsoever | command thee thou shalt
|speak.-1,7.
For thus saith the Lord, Behold, will
make thee a terror to thy self, and to all
thy friends.-20, 4.
Hast thou not procured this unto myself,
in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy
God, when he led thee by the way?-2, II.
For they have turned their back unto
me, and not their face: but in the time of
their trouble they will say, Arise, and save,
us.-2, q.
Yet | had planted thee noble vine,
wholly right seed: how then art thou turn
ed into the degenerate plant of strange
vine unto me?-2, 81. ). .
Thy way and thy doings have procured
these things unto thee; this is thy wicked
ness, because it is bitter, because it reach
eth unto thy heart.-4, IS.
have this day set thee over the nations
and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to
pull down, and to destroy, and to throw
down, to build, and to plant, 10.
Withhold thy foot from being unshod,
and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst,
There is no hope: no; for | have loved
strangers, and after them will 600, %.
For my people have committed two evils :;
they have forsaken me the fountain of liv-
ing waters, and hewed them out cisters,
broken cisterns, that can hold no water
q, 10.
And I brought you into plentiful
country, to eat the fruit thereof and the
goodness thereof; but when We entered, We
defiled my land, and made mine heritage
an abomination.-2, Z.
And will utter judgments against them
touching all their wickedness, who have
forsaken me, and have burned incense unto
other gods, and worshipped the works of
their own hands,, Is.
The priests said not, Where is the Lord
and they that handle the law knew me not
the pastors also transgressed against me,
and prophets prophesied against me, and
the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walk
ed after things that do not profit.-2,8.
Neither said they, Where is the Lord that
brought US up out of the land of Egypt,
that led US through the wilderness, through
land of drought, and of the shadow of
death, through land that no man passed
through. and where no man dwelt?-2, 6.
Thine own wickedness shall correct thee,
and thy backslidings shall reprove thee
know therefore and see that it is an evil
thing and bitter, thou hast forsaken the
Lord thy God, and that my fear is not in
thee, saith the Lord God of hosts.-2, 10.
Wherefore lion out of the forest shall
slay them, and wolf of the evenings shall
! spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their
cities: every one that goeth thence shall
be torn in pieces: because their transgres
slons are many, and their backslidings are
increased.-5, 6.
Only acknowledge thine iniquity, thai
thou hast transgressed against the LORD
thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the
strangers under every green tree, and We

THE OBVIOUS AND THE OCCULT.

Obviously the lives of most of US lie
within the confines of the obvious. Our
activities, our interests, even our thoughts,
seldom venture beyond what is apparent.
The everyday things OF life, its absorbing
occupations and distra ctions, the facts and
events which require no research on our
part to become aware of them, but which
force themselves upon everyone's notice,
absorb our time and attention.
We gradually come to think, as they
make up the whole round of our existence
and bound both our actual and mental Wis
ion, that there is nothing worth while,
nothing which can claim undoubted reality,
outside of them. In our intercourse with
each other we are, as we'll as in most of our
reading, in the realm of the obvious and
the commonplace. If we ever formulate
any theory of life or of the universe it is
along the same lines, and we regard as all
poetry and moonshine the statement that
"there are more things in heaven and earth
than are dreamed of in our philosophy
We are like Peter Bell:
''The primrose on the rivers brim
A yellow primrose was to him,
And nothing more.'
The obvious lies on the face of things
and is plain to everybody. Unlike the
reconcile and the occult, it requires nc
patient investigation, no burning of the
midnight oil, no concentration of the facul-
ties to graspit.
When the obvious is stated, assent is
immediate and UNIVERSAL; it requires no
discussion to establish it. Nevertheless
there are some who are constantly stating
the most obvious truths and prOnOsitiOns
who regard themselves as great discoveries
and able debaters because no one arises to
contest the claim.
