citation of the usefulness of birds as
insect destroyers. The increase of in
terest in wild birds throughout the
United States during the past decade
has been phenomenal, and organiza-
tions having for their chief object the
care and protection Of birds are num-
bered by hundreds, If not thousands.
Civic leagues and women's clubs have
been especially active in attempts to
attract birds to city parks and suburbs,
with view to bringing wild life to
the doors Of those denied the priv
ilege Of knowing it in wilder districts.
Food supply is the vital factor in
bird life and the most important
single Offering we can make in our
efforts to attract birds. 1t is impor-
tant to note that an ample supply of
food prior to and during the nesting
season tends to increase the number
OF eggs laid and also the number of

fects may be obviated in part by add
ing raised ledge about the margin
or by placing the shelf in the shelter
Of a wall or shielding 1t with ever
green branches on one or more sides.
Feeding devices not affected by the
weather are preferable. An excellent
one is a cocoanut with hole bored in
one end. The cavity is filled with
chopped suet and nuts or other food
mixture, and the nut is suspended by
wire from a limb. The size of the
hole regulates the character Of the
guests; if small, large birds cannot
gobble the supply, and the cocoanut
meat as well as the stufing is eaten.
Cans with small openings may be
substituted for cocoanuts. Food bas-
kets Of any desired size made of wire
netting or motal grating may be
hung up or fastened to the trunk Of a
tree. Food mixtures in melted fat
may be poured into holes made in a
branch or piece Of timber or in cracks
Of bark or over evergreen branches.
All of these devices minimize or OBJ
viate the disturbing effects Of stormy
weather.

provided with feeding places by erect

A QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP.

Just at this time the question of
neutrality is claiming much atten-
ton and the matter of the attitude of
our government toward the warning
nations Of the Old World is one of
deep concern. And owing to the fact
that our government has had to set
tie some knotty international disputes
arising from the war, rather mixed
up condition of affairs is prevailing
in this country.
The disputes with Germany and
with England have developed a pro-
German and an anti-German element,
a pro-British and an anti-British
We are told that we must concede
every claim of Germany or lose the
sympathy of the German Americans.
We are also told we must conciliate
Britain or ALLEVIATE large Anglo
American element.
Now the thought that naturally
occurs to the patriotic American is:
What is the attitude Of these various
elements toward our government?
Are they American citizens or aliens?
That is a question to be settled.
II this pro-German or pro-British
element with whose vengeance we
are threatened, are aliens-not Am
erican citizens their likes and
dlsllkes are Of small concern to us.
If they do not like our attitude let
them go back to their own country.
If, on the other hand, they are
American citizens, then another and
very large question arises Are they
citizens for revenue only-holding
citizenship for the material good to
be derived therefrom while their
hearts and affections are with the old
country? Then the sooner they come
out in the open the better for this
country. Are they here to Gull the
sweets of the land and refuse to take
the bitter? Is it their intention to
enjoy the protection of our laws and
our institutions while their hearts
are with those who may at any day
become our enemies?
To the man who has crossed the
waters to cast his lot in America,
citizenship should be the most price,
less of his possessions-is so to the
man who is worthy of it. He should
be as the bride who leaves her
fathers house to cast her lot with
her chosen mate-for good or i'll.
The man who takes citizenship
should do so for the good or for i'll.
One sentiment, and only one, should
fire the heart of every American, ma
tive or naturalized, and that should
be: my country-may she always
be right; but my country, right or
wrong" .~-.-~.- ...-
And. with due respect to the opin-
ions of our political jingoes, we be
lieve this is the sentiment of the
great mass of our foreign born citi-
zens. We cannot believe they are
more solicitious for the welfare of
the land they have left than for the
land that has afforded them a home
and plenty. Naturally, fond mem
cries cluster around the old home,
but the allegiance Of their manhood
lies here.
And, should the occasion call for
