RUTHLESS FLOWER
PICKING, CALAMITY

H. H. Hulburt of this city, who is
a great lover of flowers and wishes
to see them preserved, sends this
office. paper clipping concerning
their ruthless destruction. The item
which was written by Frederick J.
Haskins of Washington, D. c., reads
in part as follows:
The trouble with the great army Of
nature lovers, who will invade the out
doors as soon as spring is under way
in greater numbers than ever, is that
they want to pull nature up by the
roots and take her home. They love
nature not wisely but strenuously.
The American amateur naturalists
carries into his pastime that same
zest for bringing in the bacon that
characterizes him in business. He
does not merely contemplate natural
beauty; he gathers it, takes it home
and decorates the parlor with it. He
presents it to his girl and his mother.
The result is that many forms of ma
tural beauty are in danger of exter-
mination. This is the lament of scien-
tifc men and women, some of whom
are even now taking steps to prevent
it.
The scientists say that what threat
ems is nothing less than a calamity. In
Europe, they say, hundreds of the
most beautiful varities fwild flowers
already have been exterminated and
the same process is goin gforward
rapidly in this country. The American
that Columbus discovered was moth
ing like the one that we know It
was land teeming with wild life,
with great forests, hundreds of feet
high and above all, it was veritable
garden of wild bowers. Now much of
the wild life has been destoyed and
many fthe forests have been cut
out, but much has been done in the

to Sank county, to let Mr.. Koenig
know and he would meet him at the
railway and take him over to the
farm for a good visit. "You will like
