as possible, but to purchase no more
yarn This order of not purchasing
yarn has been in effect for some time.
The small showing Of knitted articles
is not from lack of willingness on the
part of the Princeton knitters but be-
cause the Princeton branch was out
OF yarn for about twelve weeks and
has only had this winter small
amount that was allotted from head
quarters. This had to be shared with
other branches.
Fortunately for the county two of
our branches Greenbush and Milo
were we'll stocked with yarn, so our
total for the year will not be small.

Americas Greatest Citizen Dead

. ,5E @ y
Americas Greatest Citizen Dead.
Throughout the United States on
Monday people were shocked to learn
OF the sudden death of Americas
greatest citizen, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, who passed away in his
sleep at 4:15 a. M, as nearly as can
be determined, on that day. Death
was due to pulmonary embolism, or
lodgment in the lungs Of clot of
blood from a ruptured vein. There
was no one at his bedside at the time
he died. A minute or two before his
attendant noticed that he was breath
ing heavily in his sleep and went to
call nurse. When he returned with
her the colonel was dead.
The colonel returned to his home at
Sycamore Hill from the Roosevelt hos
pital, where he had been treated for
inf1ammatory rheumatism, on Christ
mas day. This had affected practically
every joint y his. body. While feeling
much bette when he returned home
he suffered a relapse a week later.
One of the things which is believed to
have contributed to his breakdown
more than any other was the death
last fall Of his son, Quentin, who was
killed in an aerial fight at the front.
Friends say that while Colonel Roose-
veil did not "carry his heart on his
sleeve" ha suffered poignant grief in
silence.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
news of Colonel Roosevelt's death in
Washington flags were ordered placed
at half mast at the white house, the
capitol, on every ship and shore sta
ton of the navy, and at every army
post and camp at home and abroad in
respect to the memory Of the former
president.
Theodore Roosevelt was born in
New York city on October 81, 1858;
hence he was but a couple of months
over 80 years of age-a comparatively
young man. His career was varied
includinA that of ranchman, banker
soldier, statesman and president ,o1
the United States. Hewas intensely
American and a patriot to the core.
The funeral was held in Christ Epis.
copal church at Oyster Bay yesterday
afternoon and was, upon request OF
Mrs. Roosevelt, of a private nature
and without floral tributes.

Membership Drive a Success.

Farmers Should Get Belletin $50.

The United States department. of
. agriculture has published a bulletin
mo. 63O) which it would be we'll for
the farmer and gardener to read. It
gives list of the birds which are
particularly useful on the farms in in
sect destruction and those which are
not so useful along this line. Many
birds are accused of eating this or
that product Of cultivation when an
examination of their stomachs shows
that they have been wrongly accused.
The great majority of land birds
subsist 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
entirely upon insects, taking vegetable
food only when other subsistence fails.
1t is thus evident that in the course of
a year birds destroy an incalculable
number Of insects, and it is difficult to
overestimate the value of their SER
vices in restraining the great tide of
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
of weeds. Here again is another USE
full function of birds in destroying
these weed seeds and thereby lessen
ing the growth Of the next year.
Farmers should send to the agricul-
tural department at Washington and
obtain free Bulletin $50, entitled
"Some Common Birds Useful to the
Farmer" and study it during the win
ter time. 1t treats of the bluebird,
robin, titmouse, wren, brown thrasher,
catbird, swallow, towhee, sparrow,
house finch, grackle, brewer blackbird,
Baltimore oriole, Bullock's oriole,
meadowlark, redwing, blackbird, bobo-
link, crow, bluejay, Pacific coast jay,
phoebe, kingbird, nighthawk, wood
pecker, cuckoo and bobwhite.
