BIRDS HELP SAVE THE CROPS
Winged Destrcyers of Tree and Grain
Insects Should Be Protected Declare
the Audubon Societies.

The National Association Of Audu-
bon Societies issued q warning against
the indiscriminate slaughter of birds
and Wild life, declaring perils threaten
the agriculture of the United States
unless action is taken Immediately to
save the lives of certain animals and
birds.
"The crops will save the nation" the
bulletin says, "but the birds will help
to save the crops. Therefore, it Is nec-
essary that the birds be saved.
-~ "The thoughtless and irresponsible
would kill the robins, and thus destroy
the natural enemies of grasshoppers,
beetles and caterpillars; they would
exterminate the woodpeCkers and thus
execute those traditional watchmen of
our fruit and forest trees which de-
stroy the larvae of the gypsy moth;
they would do away with the chlcka-
dees, which annually eat myriads of
bugs, canker worms, moth and plant
lice. They would STAY the orchard
criole, the bulk Of the food Of which
consists OF cabbage worms, grasshon-
pers and the larvae of all kinds of nox-
ious invaders Of garden and farm"

Squirrel Aided Bridge Builders.

"There is an old Hindu story about
Rama's bridge. Rama, the chief of
the gods, was building a bridge, and
the monkeys came to help in the work,
They carried earth and stones and
trees, and piled them up. They moved
cliffs and mountains. While the work
was at its height the squirrel came to
help. The squirrel could not carry
much, but he rolled himself up in the
sand and scampered to the bridge and
shook the sand from his coat and
scampered back again. The monkeys
stopped and laughed at the squirrel.
They said, Ho! what does he
think he is doing? But Rama had
watched the squirrel, and he reproyed
the monkeys, saying that according to
his powers the squirrel was doing as
much as any Of them. And this legend
adds that Rama reached down and
stroked the squirrel kindly, and from
that day to this the squirrel has al
ways borne upon his coat the stripes
that are the marks Of Rama's fingers"

Had you Thought of 1t?

As superintendent of publicity
for the Highland Red Cross Chap
ter, we feel called upon to thank
the Recorder man for his liberal
space allotment to the work. The
casual observer would fail to note
the fact, perhaps, that much space
is allowed, and that it is gratuitous
although it is an editors "stock in
trade"
The great service rendered by
the press of the country since war
was declared has been recognized
in o general way, but few stop to
think how the government would
be handicapped without this ex~
haustive advertising;
AS to the interest thus shown BY
our county paper, we doubt not
that Mr.. Wood has been glad to
thus help along the good work, but
in summing up the efficient service
and measuring its importance, the
sacrifices, financial and otherwise,
involved, let US not overlook the eX
tensive, gratuitous part done by
Our home paper,
If you are a member of the Red
Cross and not subscriber TO the
Recorder, your duty is only half
done.
Any one who has not cotton their
belongings from the r G. dinner
will call on Mrs. Y. B. Bishop and
get same.
Membership buttons and Gro ses
will be mailed to each membership
solicitor as soon as they come The
last order for same has not been
received and duplicate order has
been sent.
