Just Plain Dog.
From the Tampa Tribune.

Some people love horses, some people love
birds, some people love cats, some people
even love some other people, but where is
there man or woman who does not love
dog? Not a petted pampered show dog,
but Just plain dog-nothing but dog from the
tip OF his nose to the tip OF his tail
Give a youngster dog for companion
and the kid will never go to the dogs A dog
will be loyal and friendly, happy and obedi-
ent mischevous and lovable, a doggone
A dog without pedigree without price, with
ont anything to boast Of except that he is
only dog, with a dogs instincts dogs
manners, a dogs sincerity, a dogs unswerv-
ing faith in and kindness to anyone who will
be loyal and kind to him.
Just plain dog. In other words, mutt,
master or his little mistress. Every boy and
girl, at some time in life is surely entitled
to one plain, everyday, ordinary dog.

Venting Spleen at States Expense.
From the Sylvester Local.

1t is great pity the Georgia legislature
will at each session spend three fourths of
its time wrangling over matters which are
not worth a cent to the people OF Georgia.
Some few legislators go up to the capitol
with grudges against somebody who has fail
cd to give them or some OF their kin or
friends job and fire away with a resolution
to investigate this or that and keep the house
in wrangle for weeks and then don't ac-
complish one single thing Tor the good OF
the state The legislators seem to forget
they are the servants OF the people and try
to run the states affairs for their own per
sonal benefit 1t would be better for them
to meet not so often and have briefer ses-
sions. Just few hard headed busy bodies
disrupt the work of the whole organization
with their pet plans and work a hardship on
those who really want to do something
worth while.

SENATORS LUNCH IN THE COOL.

Washington Item in Philadelphia Ledger.
Senator's are now receiving a special
luncheon service on the cool veranda on the
northern side of the capitol. The lobbies in
the rear OF the senate chamber open on to
that hanging garden" where a special corps
of cooks and walters prepare toothsome dish
es in the early afternoon for hungry states
men. 1t is another of those spots hidden
from the public eye. The outlook is pleasant
and the patronage is said to be general dur
ing these days of sitting weather and weary
debate As if to check those tourists curious
eating place was fortified today by the sub
stitution OF glazed windows for the hereto
fore transparent glass at the ends of the
lobby.

BIRDS AID TO FARMERS.

Studies OF birds and insect destroyers ant
Of vermn and parasite pests, extending
through a century OF observations, show thai
many so-called bird pests are themselves et
fective aids to the farmer, and others not
thought to be insect destroyers are active IL
that work, saws w. L. McAtee, of the bio
logical survey of the federal department OF
agriculture, in a review in the annual report
Of the Smithsonian institution just publish
ed
Outstanding among these are cited the
English sparrow, often Systematically de
stroyed as a pest, which nevertheless feeds
upon the H-year locust, asparagus beetle
locust leaf miner, tent caterpillar, canker
worm. army worm and drop worm; and the
bob white quail, usually a seed eater, which
also feeds upon the locust and the olive scale.
THE general utility OF birds in checking
the increase of injurious animals and plants
is well understood" he continues. 1T must
be. admitted, however, that while birds con-
stantly exert a repressive influence on the
number of the organisms they prey upon,
and even externinate certain pests locally,
they are not numerous enough to cope sue
cessfully with widespread invasions."
Nevertheless, Mr.. McAtee cites numerous
authentic instances where bird f1ocks have
destroyed insect plaques and their eggs and
larvae so completely that such species have
never returned to the localities where for
merlv they had wrought great crop damage
or were present in such depleted numbers as
to be almost negligible. In most OF the cases
he cites efforts OF farmers or gardeners to
eradicate the pests had proven truitless, and
the crops had been given up for lost.
One reason for this near determination at
times. he says, is that birds are prone to iced
upon whatever food is most easy to procure
at the time. So that if berries or fruit are
abundant in locality they will constitute
the birds main food for the time, and when
insects swarm in great numbers the birds
are attracted to that abundant source and
iced upon them until the supply gives out.
Notable among many instances mentioned
are various local determinations Of the Rocky
mountain or migratory locust, which even
since 1918 has at times threatened grain fields
in several sections, especially on the great
plains Mr.. McAtee's article tells OF numer-
Gus times when grain growers despaired OF
saving crops from hordes OF locusts, so thick
upon the ground as to be counted by the
hundreds upon a square foot of field. lust
as they had given up hope OF saving their
crops focks of yellow head and Brewers
blackbirds, gulls, quails, English sparrows,
among other species, appeared and fell upon
the pests with such effect that much of the
grain survived the attacks.
The article includes many instances as
well of saving crops; both field and garden,
in eastern sections, OF near humiliation OF
grubs, moths, caterpillars, beetles and para
sites in trees, especially in orchards, and
shows the great good done by birds in eat
ing weed seeds.

High heels are coming back on women's

part without entertainment. In the
days when the tramps were numerous

and busy one, she always had time to
help neighbor in illness and in the
days when nurses were unknown in
this locality she was with her neigh
Dor friends at the arrival of the little

held in high esteem by all who knew
