HOW BIRDS HELP FARMERS.
Millions Of Dollars Saved Every Year
by Birds Acting as Insect Destroy.
ers; Organize Bird Study Clubs.

~ - LEX. eas#f. .-E.
There is everywhere a tendency in
schools to tnstil into the hearts and
minds OF the boys and girls a love for
the birds. CHEZ among Emergencies
which just nov are promoting this
benefcent work is the Audubon Sod
Eety of North Carolina with headquar-
ters in Raleigh. Recently this socie-
ty has issued a beautiful littIe folder
for distributions among the schools. and
observation-disclosures intte success
full prosecution of the work. The
object of this society is to protect
the birds both song and in~sectiyorous,
and to acquaint the people, and most
especially the farmers, with the, fact
that birds r the greatest insect de-
stroyers in the. world aid not only
Insect destr0yers but weed destroy
ers as well.
1t is said that the corn crop Of the
United States is injured annually by
destructive insects to the amount of
100000, 900. 1t is said. also, that in
sects destroy annually about one
tenth of all the agricultural and for
estry products of this country. 1t is
estimated that potato bugs alone cost
annually $1,000, 900. to the growers
of America. 1t is claimed further
that tobacco growers of the United
States lSse annually around the sum
of $10,0O0,O00. It is said by statisti-
clans that the fruit growers OF
the country annually lose approx
mately $30,000,0 900 by destructive in
sects. Practically all of these in
Iseets furnish food for the birds and
would largely be exterminated were
it not for the ruthless war which is
continually waged upon u little
feathered friends.
1t is claimed by those who have
made a study of this matter. that fully
SO per cent of the food of wrens is
composed of destructive insects which
annually make war on the farmers
and truck growers Of our country.
Ninety per cent of the food of bee
martins. three-fourths of the food OF
w~oodpeckers. and more than three
Efourths of the food of bluebirds, is
composed of these same Injurious in
sects which are found on the farms
and in the orchards everywhere.
Would it not be we'll for the teach
ers to organize the boys and girls into
a bird club" before the close of the
term? The Liberty Bell Bird Club is
an ideal organization for the protec-
ton of our feathercd friends, and al
the necessary literature and full in
structions will be gladly furnished
free on application.
Enlist the children in this humane
work? Have them put UP some birf
houses this spring. Ask them to
furnish some food for the birds when
it is scarce. Encourage respect for
game laws. and create a sentiment for
further protective Legislation at the
next meeting of the general assembly.
And write the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for their bu1le-
tins about birds.-C. c. w. in Progress

INDIYTDUALIZE AGAINST FLIES.

1t has been said and repeated so
many tines taat some people find in
the expression swat the fly" some
thing at which to laugh, taking it as
a species of humor that is being Of
fered. .a @
But this is not so, for the truth is that
there is no saner piece of advice In
the cause of freedom from disease and
the holding of good health than this
same swat the fly" urging. 1t means
more than merely knocking over a fly
at "a time. for the advice has behind
it the call to the colors to continued
battle against flies. And battle is de-
manded because they are the carriers
of disease, the advance guards OF
death. .
Right now the advice to "swat the
fly" may be taken literally, for it is
spring-time and with dexterous use
the 1y-swatter can do a lot OF fy-ex-
termination as the flies come out OF
their winter quarters ready to get to
work And. each fly that is killed
so many flies less during 1.-THE
summer when there will be SO many
millions that the swatters will not be
able to do the necessary execution.
So, the thing to do is to fight against
the increase in flies right onW. as !
But prevention Is better thar fly
swatting. Filth is the breeding place
for flies, and IL you look out upon a
place in which flies abounds you may
wen see in it a plant for fly propaga-
ton. Old tin cans with water In
them, piles ofitrash which hold some
moisture or which. have linathemT arti-
c1es Of decomposition house sweepings
refuse for the kitchen. the accumula-
tons in stables all these TandlIother
hlth hy Eprodncers.GThe thing to
dois to get rid bf them ands 81 prevent
becoming of so many flies. hI
.ie5s That adiseasege and death are
threatened by the presence of lies NO
longer needs argument sto show. That
being recognized the thing to be done
is to have a good house cleaning n
ward cleaninc SO as to get rid OF All
trash and filth that would aid in
briging more flies. The matter is one
of so much Importance for good health
that we trust that the editors Of the
State will enter at nee into a CAM
paign to press home to the people the
need to do al THAT is possible to ne
crease the number of flies to the min

Worth Looking Into.

An article in the Saturday Evening
Post of last week called attention to
the strides made by the Federal Farm
Loan Act in the first year of its ex-
istence. More than 800, 600, 900 have
been loaned to farmers of the United
States in the past year. 1t reminded
us that so far we have not heard OF
any Villas County farmers taking adj
vantage of the plan. The time feature
of 40 years to pay back in should we
think be sufficient reason for at least
looking into the matter by farmers
who have OCCASION to borrow money
on their farms

Harry Jewell of Amigo, were in this
city Sunday, and they told Mayor
Frank Carter and large number Of
our citizens that the show was the
finest thing of the kind ever held in
Amigo, and that Miss Cole had but
four rehearsais there. Under these
circumstances, it should be still more
excellent here, as she will put in ten
days with her cast in Eagle River.
A fine dance will be given after the
show, music by the Hazel Crawford
Orchestra Of Rhinelander, and Free
Moving Picture Show in the afternoon
at the Dreamland Theatre, tickets for
which may be secured from any mer-

Carnival Day.

For the first time in the history of
this city, the merchants ahd profess
sional men have combined to give a
big Boosters Carnival and Sales Day.
The object, aside from the Sales
Day feature is to give the town a
boost that will show our neighbors
and the people throughout Villas and
the adjoining counties that we are
strictly on the map and prepared to
give good account of ourselves. Let
ters of invitation and program Of
the Carnival have been mailed to
hundreds of people in this vicinity
and there is no doubt that a record
crowd will attend. Many new and
novel features will be introduced. A
glance at the program Of the day will
reveal the fact that the entire COM
munity are working together to
make this big success. Prizes will
be given to the Fattest Baby, the
Biggest Family, and the Oldest Mar
ried Couple attending the Carnival.
There will be big parade at 7 p. M
and prizes will be given to best dec
grated car, the funniest vehicle, and
to the prettiest, also the funniest
costumes worn in the parade
The principal feature of the day
will be beautiful Spectacular Com
edy, the Princess of Poe, which will
be staged in the Opera House by sew
enty five of the most talented singers
and local actors and actresses in this
city. The play is being coached by
Miss Thelma Cole, of the Internation-
Producing Co. Of Minneapolis, who
instructed the same play for the Ea-
giles at Amigo, two weeks ago. Miss
Cole bears the reputation Of being the
most talented instructor of amateur
plays in the country and she stages
plays with three and four rehearsals
that usually require from three to
four weeks of hard work. That her
work is of the gery highest character
is amply borne out by the results
she. secures. Mr.. George Schmidt and

averaged 5 lower, with a stronger
feeling at the close. top sl4 30. re-
ceipts $500.
Beef Cattle-More choice to prime
cattle are coming this week than last,
several lots at sI1.5O to sI2 90 today.
There was long string of sales of
good steers at $1,000 to S11.15, includ-
ing steers weighing under 1000 lbs,
and fair to medium steers sold at
SO. so to $1,000. ONLY some second
rate pulp steers represented that class
today, sold at s10.65. Top in pulp
steers yesterday, when one-half the
beef steers were pulp fed, was s11.40.
Cows sell up to $1,000. most of them
going at 81 to SO; bulls $3.50 to 50,
heifers up to S11. veal calves S11.
| Stockers and Feeders-This class is
stronger this week, and with less
com petition from killers on f1eshy
feeders, country buyers are getting
more of them, sales of feeding steers
SO to $1,000. Stock steers sold up to
SO this week, few sales under $3.50,
stock cows and heifers firm, at Sc 25

and late sales were not more than
lower, top Sl4.9 90, bulb of sales S14. so
TO Sl4. IS, light weights up to S14. 40.
Receipts at the markets are slightly
heavier this week, sufficient to stop
the big advance brought about last
week by a shortage of 100000 bogs at
eleven leading markets of the coun-
try. Inability of rail roads to furnish
all the cars wanted by shippers has
the effect of holding the supply down,
in addition to the existing shortage.
While the advance has been halted
by more plentiful supplies. the run is
far from adequate, and the market
holds an undercurrent of firmness.
Sheep and lambs-Wet pelts &C
count for part of the reduction in
prices today, the top lambs at SAC
being from same feed lot as the Sl4: 8;
lambs OF yesterday. The market i.

were introduced which put to flight
