Preparedness and Foreign

TARIFF QUESTION

Convention Plans Practically
Completed - Nominations
Early Saturday Morning.

st. ouis, June g. Preparedness and
foreign policies are to be the principal
pianks to be written into the Demo-
cratic platform that will be drafted
here week after next. when the Demo
cratic National Convention is held.
That President Wilson will sketch these
main plsnks of the party platform is
the understanding Of members Of the
subcommittee on arrangements of the
national committee, which held another
meeting to-day.
II was suggested that the President
has already drawn the main planks of
the platform, and that they will be
placed before the committee on resolu-
tion by Senator William J. Stone. OF
Missouri, or some one who has the
confidence of President Wilson. There
were reports to-day that Senator Stone
would be made chairman Of the COM
mittee on resolutions.
Members of the committee say that
the plank on preparedness will be tren-
chantly drawn. The tariff and none.
tary questions have been settled, &C
cording to the committee members, and
they will be only lightly touched on in
the platform.

Another Word About Farming.

We feel that too much cannot be
said about the one subject which
is now being freely discussed by Glynn
county people. This Is the subject
Of agriculture and we are gratifed
to find so much interest being taken
in the subject since our last editorial
on the matter.
It seems that the time - now ripe
for an agricultural awakening in
Glynn county. il the opinions we have
heard expressed mean anything. Ev.
cry citizen of the county will agree
that Glynn county should feed itself
and have thousands Of dollars worth
Of food 10 ship to other parts of the
state and country. Everybody knows
that Glynn county's soil will produce
this food and all that is lacking is the
actual development of the industry.
In the near future we hope to see
steps taken that will lead to a more
general development of our natural
resources. In the meantime. the fol
lowing editorial from our esteemed
contemporary, the Atlanta Journal
will prove of interest and value;

Der OF MS tSmmOnef, mas come
out openly urging on President
Wilson that the time is ripe for
a movement by the United States
to bring about peace. Comment
ing on the political aspects Of such
a movement. Mr.. Bryan calls at
tention to the fact that President
Wilson was elected by a minority
of the vote. having $500, 900 votes
as compared with 1900. 900 votes
cast for Roosevelt anC Taft to-
gether. Mr.. Bryan submits that
as a matter of practical politics
the votes needed by Wilson can be
secured By action which will APP

peace element he proves by citing
the Ford vote in Michigan, Ne

Russell Thrush
(HylocichIa ustuIata)


Length. seven and one-fourth inches.
Among thrushes having the top OF
head and tail nearly the same color
as the back, this one is distinguished
by its tawny eye-ring and cheeks. The
Pacific coast subsnecies is russell
brown above, while the other subspe-
cies is the olive-backed thrush. The
remarks below apply to the species as
a whole.
Range: Breeds in the forested parts
OF Alaska and Canada and south to
California, Colorado, Michigan, New
York, West Virginia (mountains), and
Maine; winters from Mexico to South
America.
Habits and economic status: This

habits. While this thrush is very fond
of fruit, its Partially for the neighbor-

ing orchards far from water. 1t is
most troublesome during the cherry

that the young are fed on fruit, but

straight direction at the middle front

Catbird
(DumetelIa carolinersis)

Length, about nine inches. The
slaty gray plumage and black cap and
tail are distinctive.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States west to New Mexico,
Utah, Oregon, and Washington. and
in southern Canada; winters from the
gulf states to Panama.
Habits and economic status: In
many localities the catbird is one of
the commonest birds. Tangled
growths are its favorite nesting places
and retreats, but berry patches and
ornamental shrubbery are not dis
dained. Hence the bird is a familiar
dooryard visitor. The bird has a fine
song, unfortunately married by occa-
sional cat calls, With habits similar
20 those of the hooking bird and a
ong almost as varied, the catbird has
ever secured a similar place in pop.

Habits and economic status: This

he steal eggs but he kills young chicks.

such is not the case. The adults eat
fruit, but the nestlings, as usual, are
fed mostly upon insects. Beetles con-
stitute the largest item of animal food,
and ants come next. Many caterpil-
lars also are eaten. The great bulk
of vegetable food consists Of fruit, of
which two-fifths is of cultivated vari-
cites. Where these birds live in or
near gardens or orchards, they may
do considerable damage, but they are
too valuable as insect destroyers to
be killed if the fruit can be protected
in any other way.

ular favor. Half of it's food consists
Of fruit. and the cultivated crops most
often injured are cherries, strawber-
ries, raspberries, and blackberries.
Beetles. ants, crickets, and grasshop-
pers are the most important element
OF it's animal food. The bird Is known
to attack few pests. as cutworms,
leaf beetles, clover-root curculio, and
the periodical cicada, but the good 1t
does in this way probably does not
pay for the fruit 1t steals. The ex-
tent to which 1t should be protected
may perhaps be left to the individual
cultivator that is, 1t should be made
lawful to destroy catbirds that are do
ing manifest damage to crops.
