Destroy Many Insects.

The great majority of land birds sub
sist upon insects during the period of
nesting and melting, and also feed their
young upon them during the first few
weeks. Many species live almost en-
tirely upon insects, taking vegetable
food only when other subsistence fats.
1t is thls evident that in the course
of a veal birds destroy an inCalculable
number Of insects. and 1t is difficult
to overestimate the value of their SER
insect life.
In winter, in the northern part of
the country, insects become scarce or
entirely disappear. Many species of
birds, however, remain during the cold
season and are able to maintain life
by eating vegetable food, as the seeds

ton, and Congress was urged TO con-
slider the question of raising the
price of gold or of giving a bonus
to gold producers.
The country did nothing, how
ever, and the gold producers kept

The need for continuation of
gold production, points out the Ju-
neau Empire, is just as great now
as it was during the war-or nearly
so. All this paper is still in circula-
ton. The proportion OF the de-
mands for gold to the amount of
actual gold on hand is so high out
side of the United States that
European money and Canadian mon
ey is at a discount. as compared
with American money. American
money is at par, largely because
the United States has more than her
relative perceptage of the gold sup
ply of the world. But even in this
country, 414 and 4 q percent Gov
eminent bonds, payable in gold, are
slightly below par. To keep these
securities from falling and to main

Today there is no way in the
world where the interests of the
world and the United States can
better be served than through the

GOLD PRODUCTION.

The gold producers on Gastineau
channel and elsewhere in the coun-
try who continued operations
throughout the war period and who
are continuing now without profit
have served and are serving highly
patriotic ends Something in excess
of two hundred billion dollars Of
paper money, bonds and other Sc
curities have been placed in circula-
ton, the final redemption of which
must be in gold, as a result of the
war. Something like twenty-five or
thirty billion of this has been float
ed in the United States. The safety
of commerce and industry and pub
lie and private credit of the world
including the United States-de-
mands that the production of gold,
the 1ounQatlon OF the Wnole Anan-
cial structure, must continue. 9th
erwise, the structure might become
topheavy and collapse.

the gold producers were rendering.
