BIRDS AID IN WAGING WAR
Their Work in increasing Crop Yields
by Destroying Insect Pests De-
cIared Highly Important

Food is needed for our armies. Birds
help the farmers produce that food by
destroying insect pests, Therefore,
birds may be considered as one Of the
allies. In the Farm and Fireside one
reads:
birds are almost as busy as bees,
and their work in increasing crop
yields is highly important. One Of the
cheapest and most effective ways to
fight. insect pests that annually take
crop toll estimated at $S00,O00,O00 is
to aid in the preservation of bird life.
Few people realize how many insects
are destroyed by birds. A teaspoonful
of clinch bugs has been taken from
the crop Of one quail, and an adult
bird has been known to eat 5000 plant
lice in two hours. Such worms and
bugs as infest our gardens are favor
lite food for bluebirds, robins and many
other kinds of birds.
ut is true that some insect pests
may be fought with chemicals. Owing
to the great war, though, prices for
many materials commonly used in
sprays. washes and poison mashes are
pretty near prohibitive. But the birds
work at before the war wages.
"BirdS also eat thousands of weed
seeds. A single quail, when killed, was
found to contain 10000 pigwecd seeds.
With labor scarce and high. whatever
will aid the farmer in his crop against
weeds is worth WHILE"

in the morning It Is usually right. So
II you get one OF these little notes
occasionally you can Just consider 1t

This is beautiful morning and all
you can see Is horses and soldiers ev-
cry where and every one is busy do
ing something.
That is the beauty part Of military
discipline, every one is up to the min
ute and every one has his bit to do.
And am proud Of my little bit and
every man here should feel that way

We are treated like men in every
respect and the commanding officers

PREMIER LEVINE BUSTED TROT.
ky AFTER SQUABBLE

London March 11-Leon TrOtzky
was dismissed as Bolsheviki Foreign
Minister by Premier Lenine owing tc
quarrel over the German peace
terms, according to dispatch to the
Morning Post dated Saturday in Pet
rograd. Trotzky held that the peace
has been extorted by force and that
no law recognized promises made un-
der duress as obligatory. Therefore
he is reported to have said it was
Russia's duty to fight If only guerrilla
warfare, and the German treaty
should not be ratified.
Premier Lenine on the other hand,
held that the treaty must be ratified
and carried out on the theory that
disastrous treaties do not necessarily
nations, as Prussia had
proved several times.

the health officers In their sanitary
survey. He praised Miss Wallace, pa
irons and trustees for the sanitary
conditions OF the school.
Miss Gardner was then introduced
and delivered an able address OH the
advantages of having PIT. A. In
the school also Of celebrating with the
state and nation In this work. She
was so pleased with the Hilldale PIT
A., It being the first in Mason county
to federate and the first rural school
in the state to come in as charter as
ISOLATION, that she asked the privilege
Of placing her name on their roll.
Superintendent Turnipseed followed

Mason county would have as energetic
an association as Hilldale.
One of the splendid movements OF
