CATS AS "ENEMIES OF TREES
tho American Forestry
Association.

A warning that cats are to be con-
sidered enemies of tree conservation
because they prey upon birds which
destroy insects dangerous to trees, Is
issued by the American Forestry asso-
citation Of Washington. The warning
says:
June is the month for nesting of
birds, 1t is the month when by far the
largest number Of birds of all species
are raising their young. 1t is the month
when insect life abounds, when the
weather is mild, when storms are few;
the month, by all odds, the most propi-
tious for the birds to undertake to in
crease their numbers. 1t is month,
however. when probably the largest
number of birds are killed.
"The maternal instinct, which knows
not fear, bring many a mother bird in
to the claws Of a marauding cat. Chief
among all the agents of destruction is
the stray cat, and second we must put
the well-fed cat. Every cat is natural
ly bird catcher and those that are
not sufficiently active to catch grown
birds find an easy prey in the newly
6edged young. 1t is during the early
hours Of the morning that most young
take the initial flight and it is at such
times that the cats go unrestrained.
Every owner Of cat, every cat lover
and every bird lover should see to it
that during this month, at least, cats
with homes are kept indoors, Gagged or
tethered, and that every stray, owner
less cat is captured and mercifully put
out of the way"

MI!Ip-POOR-WELL Is SERVANT
Files at Night and Catches Bugs and
Beetles That Are Enemies to
Farmer

At the first plaintive notes of TGe
whip-poor-will in spring, the farmer
says, cts time to plant corn" TIE
bird is the corn planters calendar.
Also It's the farmers insect destroyer.
It flies only by night and catches the
moths and beetles that venture out
after the sun goes down. Inasmuch
as many of these beetles and moths
are counted among the farmers enc
mics, the bird is first-class friend, re-
marks the Philadelphia North AmerI-
can.
1t sleeps all day, squatting fiat on
the ground, or in the lowest branches
of trees. You can approach quite near
to it at midday and it won't wake up.
II finally you interrupt it, the bird will
fly short distance away and settle
down on the ground for another nap.
Since it turns night into day, twi-
light Is its dawn, and then it does most
of it's singing. So plaintive is the song
that superstitious persons have long
associated it with misfortune. 1t does
mean misfortune to the moths and
beetles.
From vantage point on rail fence
at the edge Of the weeds It darts out
like an expert fly catcher. To aid it in
the hunt the whip-poor-will has bris-
tlelf1e beard, which is a barbed-wtre
trap for every insect which gets in
range Of the birds head.
1t doesn't go to the bother of build
ing a nest. You'll find the whip-poor-
willis eggs either on the bare ground
or in heap Of dry leaves. Usually
there are two yellowish-white eggs,
spotted with brown.

Deliveries over parcel posts aggregat- ing between 5000 and 4o00 miles by motor truck within the next three months was the aim announced by Postmaster Gen. eral Burleston recently.
 One chain of motor truck routes will link up Portland, Me, with New Or leans, and another will cover a large stretch of territory in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and West Virginia. Routes to be established on the Pacific coast will pass through Stockton and Fruitdale, be- tween San Francisco and Sacramento, Cal, g distance of 125 miles, and through Ontaria and Pomona, between Redlands and Los Angeles. a distance of 76 miles.
 It is the belief of the postoffice de- partment that the operation of these routes and others to be established will materially aid in the distribution and in lowering the cost of food products.
 The existing law does not provide for the employment of government owned motor trucks on rural delivery routes, nor does it require the rural carriers to use motor vehicles
