Wind Plays SNOWFALL at Paradox

The high wind that prevailed in
this locality for a few hours recently
played some peculiar pranks. At the
National Radium camp in Long Park
for some unknown reason the snow
instead of drifting rolled up into
snowballs. It is reported that some of
the small parks In that vicinity looked
like graveyards. especially at night, as
thousands of snowballs of all sizes
covered the ground, many of then
larger than hogsheads and six feet
high.-Nucla Independent.

THE BIRD, HEAVENS SPECIAL GIFT
 TO A BEAUTY-LOVING HUMAN RACE

from Washington we are constantly reminded of the fact that the farmer produces several billion dollars of wealth from the soil each year. To be sure this is a very large amount, and the "hay seed," as he is termed in the cities, must be given due credit for his labor. Especially must he be gwen honor when we come to realize that he is and always has been the
 backbone of our nation" The pros perlty of the country abides upon the prosperity of agriculture Without the products of the soil, as raised by the American farmer, the nation would be placed on the verge of fam inc.
 Although the farmer has the dis tlnct1on of providing us with our bread and butter, so to speak, he is not feeding us as well as he could. He could give us much more. In order to fully comprehend this fact. we must learn of some of the draw backs which the farmer has to con- tend with each year.
 1t has been estimated that the ag- rlcultural products suffer the great loss of $50O,O00,OOO or more every year rom insect ravageS..
 The department of agricuIture at Washington tells us that a loss from $2O,OOO,OOO to $25,0OO,OOO worth of seed cotton is caused by the boil weevil every years. The bollworm. cotton leaf worm and other insects also do damage to cotton to an extent of mak- ing a total loss to this staple of over $5O,0O0,00O annually.
 The losses from the depredations of the chinch bug on wheat is about $20,OO0,OO0 a year. The Hesstan fv. wheat plant-lice, cutworms. army worms, grasshoppers, certain savhies ana other insects which attack wheat. make a total yearly loss to the wheat crop of nearly $1OO,OOO,OOO.
 The chinch bug comes into nrono- 1nence again by causing a loss to the corn crop of about $2O,OOO,OOO. Added to that the depredations of the corn root worm, ear worm, stalk k-borers cut-worms, army worms grasshoppers and a number of other I insects cause a total annual loss of no less than s80,oOO,OOO to corn.
 Insect damage to hay is over s5O.-

PETERSON'S OINTMENT
 BEST FOR ECZEMA
First application stops itching of
 Eczema, Salt Rheum and Piles.

Live and let live is my motto" says Peterson. Druggists all over America sell PETERSON OINT- MENT for 25 cents a large box and I say to these druggists, if anyone buys my ointment for any of the diseases or ailments for which I recommend it and are not benefited give them their money lack.
 i've gotta safe full of thankful let ters testifving to the mighty healing power of Peterson's Ointment for old and running sores, eczema, salt rheum, ulcers, sore nipples, broken breast, itching scalp and skin, blind, bleeding and itching piles.''
 John Scott, 283 Virginia St., Buffalo, writes, "ePterson's Ointment is sim ply wonderful. It cured me of ec- zema and a'so piles, and did IT, so quickly that I was astonished.''
 "Peterson's Ointment takes the burn out of sunburn in 10 minutes. Mail orders filled, charges prepaid by Peterson Bros, Buffalo, N. Y.'

OOO,O0O a year. The potato beetle takes about 10,00O,000 from the val ue of the potato crop. The losses due to the codling moth on apples alone, is in the neighborhood of $2O,- 900, 900 annually. Mention might also be made of the San Jose scale and other scale insects different tree and plant borers, tent caterpillars, melon lice and many other insects which do damage to various products amounting to millions of dollars.
 Nearly every city in the country has some form of an insect which is at tacking it's street and park trees. And the various cities are spending much money in trying to stop the pests from defoliating and killing the trees
 The gypsy moth, brown tail moth, tussock moth, elm-leaf beetle, elm and other tree borers, certain scales and other insects are enemies of trees to be dreaded.
 Trees are the main factor in beauti- flying city. A city without trees would appear exceedingly barren and odd, and cause discontentm on the part of everyody. Beautiful parks ap- peal not only to a stranger. but to
New Britain herald., 1916-09-07

citizens as we'll as the most eye-com- manding and acclaiming attractions, and in the warm weather they ap- pear even more inviting and con- spicuOus. Streets too, with over- arching shade-giving elms and naples, add much charm and grace. But the trees not only give pleasure and com fort to all, they also help to diminish the death rate.
 The air we breathe contains oxy- gen, carbonic acid gas, and ozone. The supply of oxygen is produced by plant life. Carbonic acid gas, which is harmful to animal life and helpful to vegetation, is absorbed by the plants, and thus the proper atmospheric ball. ance is maintained.
 City children are sent to the coun- try, so they may get refreshing whole some air. People in general leave the cities in order that they may fill their Jugs with the ozone in forest air which is due chiefly to trees. The dearth of this recuperative element and tonic of the air in cities, is due to treeless streets and lack of parks.
 These few facts regarding the value of trees in cities are sufficient to il- lustrate that everything possible should be done to maintain, protect, and increase the trees in streets, parks or other open places. It is an easy matter to plant trees but 1t takes years for them to grow to lofty beau teousness. Naturally city trees labor under many disadvantages. Although tho growth of a tree is generally htn- dered to a more or less degree by pavements, and through gas, sewer, water and electric wire mains and other causes, there is nothing so de- trimental to it's welfare than the dlf- ferent insects which attack it.
 Up to a few years ago millions of the most beautiful song birds were killed to supply the millinery market. Owing to the fact that the majority of birds which were slaughtered lived chiefly upon insects which were de- structive to shade trees and agricul- ture, man has in recent years been forced to employ all manner of ar tificial means to keep down the in sect pests.
 In years past the subject of birds and nature was not thought Of as a study in schools and naturally our fathers and mothers grew up ignorant regarding such matters. Not until the great slaughter of birds took place to supply the fashion craze did the people awaken to the fact that birds and insects play a most important part in relation to agriculture. It was then discovered that owing to the de-
New Britain herald., 1916-09-07

struction of birds, insects were getting country and becoming pests. Then, and not until then. began the teaching of the American people on bird and nature subjects. The birds, big game animals, forests, minerals and all our natural resources have been slaught- cred, wasted and left uncared for because schools in the past failed to give instruction on such subjects. The future welfare of our nation will rest in the hands of the man and woman of tomorrow, and if they do not know more about nature than the average man and woman of today, what will be the consequence?
 One of the great missions of 8 mu- scum of natural history is to inspire in young and old a greater love for nature, and to teach them to realize that all things are created for some purpose, and that man should not by wantonly destroying birds and other life defeat that purpose. The more often one visits a museum of natural history, the more will he and the better will he know the world in which he lives. Further more frequent visits to a museum in- spire one to go into the wildwood, and as a noted naturalist has said: "Whoever roams in field and wood shall be showered with blessing gs-the body, mind and soul will receive strength"

Interest in the program at Keeney's for the balance of the week centers largely in the bill for tom and Saturday, the management having ar ranged a combination of photoplay attractions in addition to the Vaude- Vile offerings, that are Of exception al merit. Probably the strongest screen drama presented here in many weeks is the Vitagraph blue ribboner, ''The Man Behind the Curtain," which will be the leader on the last two days Of the week. Lillian Walker and a company of capable people will inter pret the piece. It is in five parts and is intensely dramatic, although re- Heved by some brilliant comedy in which Miss Walker is a specialist. Evart Overton plays opposite the dimpled comedienne in this attrac- tion. The humorous feature of the bill
