JuIen's scouts and the Davidson
scouts were handicapped in their
work at first by the excessive rains,
but the first day the Julien scouts
had a chance of doing anything a
working squad of the boys cap
tured' 26 eggs and seven young Eng
lish sparrows from nests in the post
office window awnings alone. After
cleaning up the nes+ places the boys
had hardly turned their backs to the
wall ere the pesky sparrows had COM
menced preparations for rebuilding,
so persistent are they. We are told
that in the course of ten years the
descendants of a pair Of English
sparrows will number 100000.
Hence, if the boys in Newberry didn't
do anything else for the good of the
place, they should be remembered
for their effective work in reducing
sthe acreage of these pests of man
and decent birds.

Tender hearted women may shud-
der to hear of the boys robblng
birds nests and destroying the eggs
and young birds, but they must re-
member that it is only against the
English sparrow army that the war
is being waged, and they must also
remember that these sparrows drive
away useful birds and damage the
fruit, vegetable and grain crops. The
amount saved in the eating of worms
bugs and other insects by these spar
rows doesn't compensate for the ru-
in wrought. On with the crusade of
the 10th century.
