League of American Sports
men Urges a Nation wide

The League of American Sportsmen.
whose object Is the preservation of Wild

augurating a nation wide campaign for
the destruction of the English sparrow.
It's officers say this bird has made
such Roadway here that it is driving
out the smaller song and insectivorous
birds, and that It has become a oues
ton of whether we shall have only the
English sparrow to represent our bird
life or destroy It and regain some 40
species of useful and beautiful birds
that used to inhabit cities. farms and
countryside all over the land
The league intends to ask the gov
ernor of each state to issue a proclan,a
tion declaring war on the English spar-
row and setting aside a week. possibly
in April or May OF next year. to be
devoted especially to DESTROYING nests
of this pernicious pest. Printed in

be expected to extend svnpathv and

-Four principal methods Of action will
be employed: Tearing down the nosts
