Upon examining the Edna. Wilson

Of gasoline in cases and fve-gallon cans.
The value of the ship and cargo he
placed at more than 100000. He found
that only six life preservers and a tiny
skiff had been left behind by the crew

since become rough. and the fact that
the deck was waist deep in the ocean.

greater scarcity of food right now than we would be likely ever to ex- perience, even under the most rigid war restrictions.
 If you think this is wild state ment. remember that no less an au' thority than the United States de. partment of agriculture has estimated that insects in a single year cost the farmers of the nation about $1,200,000- And then remember that birds are hy far the most efficient of all the nat ural agents in destroying insect pests.
 It is winter now. and many of the birds who do not migrate are ue- prived of most of their natural sources of food supply. And so the birds are often hungry; indeed, many of them will starve to death if the winter is very severe and the snow lies deep. So, what are you going to do about it? Why, feed them. What else could you do. unless you are entirely un. grateful.
 And. incidentally. feeding the birds will give you the best kind of an op- portunity to become acquainted with these winter species. Perhaps the most characteristic of these Is the chikadee with a voice full of infinite tender ness and fidelity" as John Burroughs says The chidakee is the feather small boy of the woods.
 Then there are the nuthatches- white breasted and red breasted, of which the former is the most com mon-blue, gray and white tree-climb- ing birds.
 Juncos, too, are common winter birds. They may be identified by their slate-colored plumage and the two white feathers which show conspic- uously in their tails when they fly.
 The golden crowned and ruby crowned kinglets, the smallest of all the birds except the hummers. will remain all winter. Then there are the tree-climbers, like the brown creepers and the hairy and downy woodpeck- CTS; also the tree sparrows and white throated sparrows, and. of course. the robins and the sassy" bluejays and the crowds. In the woods are the part ridges. and in the fields where there is brush or other cover are the bob whites. who often come into your or chard, or even into your very yard, if they discover your hospitality.
 All these birds will become your boarders in time Of need if you will establish feeding stations.
