EAT SPARROW PIE TO END PEST

The common English sparrow is a
serious civic problem. 1t thrives in
centers of population. The North
hates the sparrow for its uselessness.
The South cherishes particular
grievance in that the sparrow has
driven out the storied hooking bird
and other beautiful songbirds.
The little pest is noisy, dirty, quar-
relsome and a useless parasite. 1t dis
dams the lowly worm, but is fond of
grain and fruits. 1t is a horticultur-
al pest of persistence and magnitude.
How is the sparrow to be extermin-
ated? G. o. Shields, President of the
League of American Sportsmen, says:
EAT him in pies and reduce the high
cost of living" He is advocating the
general use of new sparrow trap that
he believes will soon remove the lit
tie feathered creature from his form
er haunts. The trap is designed by
August Tschirky of New Paltz, N. Y,
son of Oscar Tschirky of the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel. A working model
has averaged sixty entrapped spar
orws a, day.
C. E. Bird of Savannah agrees with
Mr.. Shields that America must eat it's
way out of the sparrow difficulty.
The delectable potpies that can be
made of the sparrow's tender flesh,
says Mr. Shields, will be it's own suf-
ficient incentive for people to operate
his sparrow trap. BY din of a device
employing grains of corn glued to a
metal plate, Mr., Bird averages rs
sparrows day. That is two pies a
week, ample for several helpings for
family of four persons.
Sparrow pie is popular dish in
England" says Mr.. Bird. at has not
enjoyed a vogue here because the
birds have hitherto been hard to col
lect in numbers. My trap does it,
Twenty-Five sparrows make big pie.
About eight sparrows to the person
is the right number. They are deli
cious and inexpensive. They can be
stewed, boiled and cooked with spag-
hetti."
Mr.. Birds trap makes it easy for
the bird to enter and impossible for it
to get out. One sparrow within i'm
bues the others with confidence. They
can be kept alive until needed. The
American palate, he is sure, will
sound the death knell of the pestifer-
Gus, twittering sparrow.

WHAT U-BOATS MUST
DO TO STARvE BRITISH

Chicago, Feb. 10.-A comprehensive
summary of official food and shipping
statistics by the Tribune shows:
That Germany will have to sink
100000 tons of shipping a month,
for at least nine months, before Eng
land would approach starvation.
That if Germany maintains the
present average of destruction of
about 100000 tons a month, it would
take approximately 18 months to
starve the British Isles.
That if the present rate of destruc-
tion can be maintained for year, a
visible weakness of the allies might
become apparent.
| That Great Britain's food supply is
more than half dependent on imports,
the remainder being produced in the
British Isles.
What Great Britain Needs.
That Great Britain must import
16,500,000 tons of food stuffs this year
to support her armies and keep her
civilization supplied with the neces-
saries of life.
That for Great Britain to obtain this
amount of foodstuffs, approximately
IL 100000 gross tons of shipping, car
rying foodstuffs alone, must enter
British ports this year.
That less than fifteen per cent of
all ships transporting cargoes to the
British Isles carry foodstuffs and that
probably the food ships sunk by the
Germans bear the sam ratio to the to-
tai number of cargo ships sunk.
That England has a food supply on
hand which will last her probably two
months, if not ton of food reaches
England,
These conclusions are based on an
exhaustive study of statistics of the
food supply, the shipping, food i'm
ports, losses because of submarine
sinkings, construction of ships to re-
place those sunk, ships withdrawn
from cargo carrying trade by the
British Admiralty, small ships usu-
ally used for coast trade put into the
ocean trade because of the war, and
| other necessary factors.
What Germany Hopes to Do.
Germany believes that if she can
sink 100000 tons of shipping a
month around the British Isles Great
Britain will feel the pinch of starva-
ton within 60 days.
Shipping and food supply statistics,
however, indicate that Germany can
not even by destroying 100000 tons
month for three months, cause a
great shortage of food supplies in the
British Isles. Moreover, Germany is
not maintaining the million-a- month
rate and navigation experts are of the
opinion that not more than 305,000
tons of shipping will be the record this
month.
Up to the present date, Germany
has sunk approximately 100000 tons
of shipping in 10 days. If this should
be kept up she would sink about 420,-
900 for the short month of February.

WHAT is YOUR INTENTIoN7

Are you a land owner? If so, what
! is your intention with regard to the
land that you own? Do you propose
to regard it merely as a business in
vestment, and to extract from it every
possible dollar Of profit?
We have known farmers whose
treatment of their land was calculated
to leave the impression that they were
the ones for whom it was originally
created, and when they should cease
to need it no other use would ever be
made of it.
On the other hand, there are men
and many of them--who, while striv-
ing to make their land as productive
as possible, have yet an eye on the fu-
ture owners.
Every farmer, when he takes charge
Of a piece of ground, should frame this
simple resolution:
81 hereby resolve that whether my
occupancy of this land be long or
short, | will use every means at my
command to leave it more productive
than when found it,"
If this were the guiding principle of
every farmers life, what a blessed
and productive country ours would be-
come in a few generations of time!
And why not?
Every farmer who has worked with
impoverished soil knows how discour-
aging and heart sickening is the strug-
gle.
And every farmer who has honest
ly endeavored to improve his land to
point of real productiveness knows
how gratifying it is to see his yield
mount upward from year to year and
to feel that as the seasons go by he is
adding substantially to the wealth of
this country--for after all is said,
land is the great tangible asset Of the
earth.
The man who causes two blades of
grass to grow where only one was
growing is benefactor of mankind.
The man who so depletes his soil
that only one blade will grow where
two formerly grew, is thief.
Hard words, yes, hard, but true. No
man has a right to impoverish the
soil, even if he does hold a title deed
to it. At best it is only his for sea-
son, when it must pass to another
rightful owner
And what about the rights Of the
next owner? And the next, and the
next?
When you pursue policy that i'm
poverishes your land it goes to your
son at your demise poorer than when
you received it.
Have you, in that event, been hon
est with your son? He had a right
to receive from you what you receiv-
ed--certainly no less.
Will the farmers Of America rob
the unborn generations, or will they
leave for them the legacy of a better
land than they themselves inherited
1t is a personal question which each
individual must answer for himself
Cassville Democrat.
