HOP ToADs OF VALUE

common toads brings the report
that while the findings in regard to

importance because he can't fly
A report of the investigation of
toad life by the survey. however,
does disclose one trait of value in
the rain maker"-he is evidently
not a busy body; for, we read:
'Toads go constantly about their
own work of gaining a livelihood,
and so, undoubtedly, fill their pro-
per places in nature. They are not
very numerous in one locality,
however, and as they cannot adopt
the methods of birds and. traverse
wide stretches of land to aid in
combating obnormal local increas
es of crop and gard en- pests, their
influence is not strongly felt"
The Investigation showed that
the toad performs some service in
such places as greenhouses, gar

courses. Any harm that toads do in
the consumption of beneficial bee
ties and other insects useful to man
is of little economic importance and
does not warrant their indiscrim-
mate destruction.

AUTO TURNED UPSIDE DOWN

George Morrison, George Newcomb
and J. ". Heritage were going to
Blue Earth to attend the |. o. o. F.
lodge doings there in the formers
Ford they had a very bad wreck. It
seems that the rain on the wind
shield, together with the slow rate
Of speed at which they were going,
made it hard for the driver, Mr.
Morrison, to see the road and the
first thing they knew they were in
the ditch on the east side of the
road little distance beyond the
Lattimer place south of Winnebago
The car ran in the ditch for short
distance when the front wheels sud
denly caught and the car turned ex-
actly upside down and straight
across the ditch, all four wheels
turning in the air. All crawled out
from under the car and none of
them seemed badly hurt just then.
They left the car in the ditch and
rode on into Blue Earth in the big
bus which was coming behind them.
While at lodge Mr. Heritage began
to complain and got worse. When a
physician was called and made an
examination it was found that three
ribs had been broken. He was given
as good care as possible while there
and returned home that evening. He
has been confined to his home ever
since and has been pretty sore, but
all hope that he will begin to be able
to get out again soon. On the wa7
home the wrecked car was righted,
pulled out of the ditch and towed
about half way home, and then ran
under its own power the rest of the
way home, the main damages being
a broken top and windshield.
