IN MEMORIAM
Albert Streater

'Tis the tenderest flower that is
easiest plucked by frost, and the
brightest jewel is oft victim of an
early death. The latter came into
evidence when death called from the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Streater
their little son Albert Moore.
Little Albert was five years and
five months old and was just enjoying
sweet age when, by his lovable dis
position, he found it no trouble to
gain for himself the love of all who
knew him.
The little fellow showed pro-
.nounced liking for those t lnes chat
appeal to the best there is IN the hu-
man soul. One of the most notice.
able was his love for music. One who
was a close observer of children could
easily detect the very expression of
happiness that played over his child
ish face while under the sound of
music, whether in church or in the
home.
He was child of unusual bright
ness and ever carried with him that
spirit of cheerfulness and affection
that made him one of the brightest
lights in the home circle.
He will be greatly missed from the
Sunday school class Of which he was
member. He was very attentive to
the teaching of the lesson by his
teacher.
Albert will not only be missed from
his Sunday school class, but in the
home and from the society of his lit
tie playmates. But there was a va
cancy in heaven that only little AL
bert could fill and as it was Gods will
to take the little fellow home thcr..
IS no need to sorrow for him, for we
know that he is now little angel
singer in that choir that sings in the
presence Of God.
Albert was enjoying good health
and was full of boyish life and play
until sometime during the holidaya.
when he contracted pneumonia, which
proved fatal. Death came on Mon
day, January 1st. and released the pa-
tient little sufferer from his pains.
He leaves a father and moshcr.
four brothers and four sisters. The
little body was tenderly laid in its
last resting place in Friendship GENE.
terry on Tuesday, Jan. g. The Rev,
Paul T. Wood conducted the funeral
execises.
The loved ones have our sympathy
ana prayers. M.V.S.

ProRne subis)


Range: Breeds throughout the
United States and southern Canada,
south to central Mexico: winters in
South America.
Habits and economic status: This
is the largest as it Is one of the most
beautiful Of the swallow tribe. It
formerly built its nests in cavities
OF trees, as 1t still does in wild dis
tricts. but learning that man was q
friend 1t soon adopted domestic habits.
Its presence about the farm can often
be secured by erecting houses suit
able for nesting sites and protecting
them from usurpation by the English
sparrow, and every effort should be
made to increase the number OF colo
nies Of this very useful bird. The
boxes should be at reasonable
height. say Is feet from the ground,
and made inaccessible to cats. A colo
ny of these birds on o farm makes
great inroads upon the insect popu-
lation, as the birds not only them
selves feed upon insects but rear their
young upon the same diet. Fifty years
ago in New England 1t was not uncom-
mon to see colonies Of 80 pairs Of
martins. but most of them have now
vanished for no apparent reason ex-
cept that the martin houses have de-
cayed and have not been renewed.
More than three-fourths OF this birds
food consists OF wasps, bugs. and
beetles, their Importance being in the
order given. The beetles include sew
eral species of harmful weevils, as
the clover.leaf %eevils and the nut
weevils Besides these are many crane
flies, moths, May flies, and dragon
flies.

Sialia stalls

Length, about six and one-half
inches.
Range: Breeds IN the United States
(west to Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming,
and Montana), southern Canada, Mex
leo, and Guatemala; winters in the
southern half of the eastern United
States and south to Guatemala.
Habits and economic status: The
bluebird is one of the most familiar
tenants of the farm and dooryard.
Everywhere it is hailed as the har.
binger Of spring, and wherever it
chooses to reside 1t Is sure Of a warm
welcome. This bird, like the robin,
phoebe. house wren, and some swal-
lows, is very domestic in it's habits.
Its favorite nesting sites are crannies
In the farm buildings or boxes made
for its use or natural cavities in old
apple trees. For rent the bird pays
amply by destroying insects, and It
takes no toll from the farm crop. The
bluebird's diet consists of 68 per cent
OF insects to 80 per cent of vegetable
matter. The largest items of insect
food are grasshoppers first and beetles
next, while caterpillars stand third
All OF these are harmful except q few
of the beetles. Tho vegetable food
consists chiefly of fruit pulp, only an
Insignificant portion of which is of cul-
tivated varietiess Among wild fruits
elderberries are the favorite. From
the above 1t will be seen that the blue
bird does no essential harm, but on
the contrary eats many harmful and
annoying insects.
