kinds of insects furnish food for the birds. The more the birds are en- couraged to visit neighborhood, therefore, the greater will be the pro- lection to the crops and trees in that neighborhood.
 The house wren Is a valuable bird in this particular for it feeds entirely on insects. This little bird is one of the most sociabIe and confiding of birds and will build its nest right close to human habitation. The wren will gladly accept a little house prepared for it's reception; and if it has to build it's nest elsewhere constructs it of grass or weeds stuffed into any crevice that takes it's fancy
 A French scientist has asserted that without birds to check the ravages of insects, human life would vanish from the earth in the short space of nine years. He insists that insects would first destroy the growing cereals, then would fall upon the grass. and the foliage which would leave nothing for the cattle and stock to feed upon. It is certain that birds destroy every year thousands of tons of noxious weed seeds and billions of harmful insects. Among other pests which birds at tack is the cotton boil weevfl which

run into the thousands. From 5000 to 5000 ants have been found in birds stomach. Also they will often consume thousands of weed seeds in ? day. The American Forestry Asso- ton of Washington. therefore, through a national bird house building contest has been recommending that means be taken to protect and encour- age birds in every community because of the great economic service they render. Birds will cease coming to a neighborhood where they cannot find proper protection and good nesting places.
 Birds are a great asset to any com munity. They help the farmer by devouring great quantities of the in sects which prey upon his crops; and they also eat the seeds of many weeds They get after the bugs in the garden. Tn the orchard they consume cater pillars and other pests destructive to tree life. Frank M. Chapman, eminent ornithologist, is authority for the statement that eff we should lose our birds we should also lose our forests" [" These little friends of the forest eat the borers which live on the bark of trees and the various moths and other parasites that prey upon the trees.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-07
Toll Amounts To One-tenth

It has been estimated that insects take a toll every year which amounts to one-tenth of all the cereals, hay, cotton, tobacco. forests and general farm products that are raised in the United States. It is said, for instance, that they destroy as much as s53, ,000,- 900 worth of hay. Hessian flies ap- peared in Ohio and Indiana in the year 1900 and before they had com pleted their ravages they had devoured 2,500,00O acres of wheat, a tremendous loss not only to that section of the country, but to the nation as a whole These facts give a glimpse as to the easons why birds should be protected and encouraged. They are worth many millions of dollars annually to the country. If it were not for them some of the insect plaques might gain such headway that there would be no possible way of checking them.
 Numerous observations have been made to discover how many insects birds eat. It has been found in some cases that they will eat thousands of bugs and insects in one day. Grass hoppers, potato and cucumber beetles, plant lice. cankerwork moths, codling worms, ants-these and many other

women and children, suffered alike and the streets ran red with blood. After Warsaw's fall the powers decid- ed to divide Poland again.
 The Empress Catherine of Russia, who was well known as an intriguer, was the leader and together with Fred eriCk William and Marie Theresa they planned and connfved with the result that the gains of Russia consisted of an area of 1S1, ,00O square miles and a population of 6,000,000. Austria's share was 45.000 square miles and 5000 new subjects and Prussia's new territory 57,0o0 square miles in area and 2,500,O00 population. This left comparatively small number of Poles, ashamed and grieved at the loss of their national existence. At last they thought if they would fight for France this country would help them organ ize Q government in return for their services, but the French laws would not permit of tlleir enrolment in the army. Finally a few were able to get into what was called Napoleon's Pol ish Legion and about 1000 of these were sent to St. Domingo to suppress the revolt headed by the negro Tous- saint TOuverture. Many of them died

most of their lives darting hither and thither and these must be caught on the wing. Lastly, there arc those 1n- sects which hide in the grass or among the leaves of shrubs and trees, and these must be searched out with keen eyes.
 And so, among birds" adds Dr. Allen, i've have probers in the snipe, scratchers in the grouse and quail, borers in the woodpeckers, fiycatchers in the swallows and nighthawks. and cleaners in the blackbirds, thrushes, vireos and warblers. In each group we find those notifications of bill, feet, wings, tail, tongue and eyes which best fit the birds for securing the in- sects in it's particular way"
 Without proper protection to b-Ed life both farm and garden crops and trees would soon be so ravaged that the results would be disastrous. For this reason the American Forestry AS sociation is urging the arousing of fur ther interest in every community ln birds; and F. s. Ridsdale, secretary Of the organization, calls attention to the fact that the economic benefit to be derived therefrom will apply not only to the individual city or town but to inc entire nation.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-07

has done so much harm in the South The annual loss of agricultural prod uctS from insects in the United States has been estimated as high as S500,- 100000.
 Swallows feed almost entirely upon obnoxious insects and they will do much toward protecting orchards and other trees. Of the blue swallows the purple martin is the largest, the male being entirely blue above and below, while the female is blue above with gray breast. Swallows are highly migratory, most of them spending the winter in South America. A cliff swal- low will eat at least a thousand flies, mosquitoes, wheat-midgets and beetles in day. This bird is known also as the cave swallow because it plasters its nest on the outside of a barn or other building up under the caves Colonies of several thousand will build their nests together on the side of a cliff. These nests shaped like fiat tened gourd or water bottle, are made of bits of clay rolled into pellets and lined with straw or feathers.

out at Warsaw and the Poles were made prisoners in their own country only to be beaten and starved as well. There were several drives made by the Huns and the women and children Of the city suffered untold horrors.
 Now that fighting has ceased the people are merely existing in Poland and the Rockefeller Foundation has made an investigation and reported that unless something is speedily done the entire civilian population will starve.
 The Allies have decided that Poland shall, after centuries, come into its own and the better class of Poles have been trying to straighten things out.
 Paderewski, the famous pianist went home sometime ago and was the President of the country for a short time. But there is always trou- ble and no matter how careful the people who are working for the good of the land, may be, German propa- ganda will creep in and cause disturb ance and unrest. The entire country must be reconstructed. The land is valuable but all the farming machin- cry is destroyed for it seems that wherever the Gern-ans were compelled to move out they wrecked and ruined

bird boxes or in crannies about build ings or in holes in trees. It lines the bottom of the nest with grasses for the four or five blue-white eggs which it lays. Sometimes more hardy mem- bers of the bluebird tribe will winter as far North as Southern New Eng land.
 One of the champion fy-catchers of the United States is the Wilson warbler which darts out from the limb of tree and snatches passing insects on the wing. ~ They also catch insects which are fitting about or sitting on the foliage or blossoms of the trees. The olive green and yellow plumage of this bird harm onizeS with the green leaves of the trees. This bird winters in Central America.
 Different Ways Of Catching Insects
 Birds are provided by nature with different kinds of i1nplements-bills, tongues and so forth-depending on where and how they hunt out their insect and other food. Some people used to have the mistaken idea that woodpeckers injured trees by pecking holes in them. But the woodpecker was only digging away to find the Iarva or bugs hidden under the bark; or if he was doing anything else it was merely to make a nest for his little family in the dccayed hollow of some limb.
 "The group of insect-eating birds is large and varied. for there are many kinds of insects and many ways of securing them." according to Dr. A. A. Allen, assistant professor of ol- ogy in Cornell University. Some in- sects live in the soft mud about shores and marshes and for these the birds must probe; some live among the leaves and harder soil of the forest floor, and for these the birds must scratch. Others live in the trunks and branches of trees and in order to se cure them the birds must be proffcen. carpenters and supplied with chisels for gouging. Still other insects spend

became involved in war with Rus sia and lost Smolensk. His son sigis- nund II reigned well and finally the Polish land stretched across central Europe from the Baltic Sea to the Dniester with it's west front less than ninety miles from Berlin and it's east ern border about 15O miles from Moscow.
 The land has always been the hot bed of intrigues and many European countries looked upon Its rich land with covetous eyes and in 1772 it be- gan to shrink in size. Then came the second partition when five millions of Poles were bluntly told that they were to consider themselves Prussian or Russian subjects according to the new frontiers drawn by the treaty. Poland was rendered helpless and feli victim to Prussian and Russian trickery. Before they had recovered there was a third partition. Then the great Kosciusko, the most chivaIrous figure in Polish history came to the front. He soon reached America and fought under General Wash ington, where he displayed such military ability that he became a Gen eral. He returned to his native land in 17S3 and started a revolution. The common people rallied about him but the cause was lost although he made a gallant fight, having three horses killed beneath him. He was finally taken prisoner.
 Warsaw had become the seat of gov ernment of the country in 1850 and was the scene of Kosciusko's fight, a terrible battle where soldiers. civilians,
