BIRDS ARE WORTH
THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD
RESULT OF THEIR WORK FOR
FARMER CAN HARDLY BE
OVERESTIMATED.

The bird population has a value to
agriculture almost impossible to
ovcrstate," according to Louis
Knowles, state leader in predatory an
imal control for the United States
Department OF Agriculture.
States having more natural vegeta-
ton have in the past derived a great
er boon from the foraging activity OF
bird life, Mr.. Knowles says.
practically every agricultural pest
in the United States has numerous
effective bird enemies" he continues.
For instance, Is kinds OF birds are
known to feed on the clover weevil
tie, 90 on the codling moth, 40 on
the gypsy moth, 40 on horse flies IS
on clover root borers, 90 on cutworms,
120 on leaf hoppers and 168 on wire
worms.
In order fully to appreciate the
value Of our small birds it is neces-
sary only to locate the nest OF pair
OF house wrens during the time that
the young are in the nest. The parent
birds will be observed to bring
mouthful OF insects to their young
about every two minutes during the
day. Other birds do not feed so heav
lily as the wren, but they carry to
their young great quantities OF insects
each day and always at intervals
ranging from five to eight minutes.
The United States biological sur
vey has studied exhaustively the birds.
Many Photographic records have been
made. A photo OF the crop OF a single
black bird, OF kind common in the
state, showed it to contain 442 weevil
larva.
The studies have shown that the
much maligned English sparrow when
flying about alfalfa farms feeds heavi-
" on the weevil and its larva. The
meadow lark, probably our most wide
ly distributed and most numerous sum
mer bird, lives almost exclusively on
insects and weed seeds. The food OF
the finch is 81 per cent insect, and the
barn swallow feeds exclusively on in
sects All OF our native upland game
birds consume large quantities OF in
sects and beetles. Between May and
the end OF September 80 per cent OF
the food OF the crow is made up OF
insect life
Birds in the winter months live
almost exclusively on weed seeds, and
as they are often quite numerous they
consume many hundreds OF tons OF
seed
IN order to appreciate the econom-
ic value OF these birds it is necessary
to remember only that most OF the
bird population is made up OF species
that require a meal about every five
minutes. The food os our summer
birds is very largely OF insect life that
is injurious to forage, grain and other
crops"

DR.. M'KEMIE NEARLY
LOSES FORD COUPE
STALLED IN A LIME SINK AND
COMPLETELY SUBMERGED
BEFORE RESCUED.

DR.. c. R. McKemie's Ford coupe
came very near drowning Tuesday
when it stuck in a lime sink near the
Hollis place and was completely sub
merged before it could be eXtricated
from the mud and water.
The accident occurred as DR.. Nc
Kemie, accompanied by Mr.. Cecil
Christie, was driving toward Albany.
They had passed through two OF sew
eral small ponds in the road, and were
approaching the third, which seemed
larger than the others. 1t was decided
not to try to go through this pond,
and the car was turned around and
headed Tor home. 1t stalled in the first
bog, and was sinking rapidly when
the occupants jumped out and went
for help. Upon their return about IS
minutes later no trace OF the car could
be seen with the exception OF a small
part OF one corner OF the top.
DR.. Mckenzie and Mr.. Christie re-
turned to Dawson, and the wrecker
OF the Dawson Motor Car Co. went
out and pulled the half drowned coupe
into town, where it was dried out The
car is none the worse for the expert
ence, as no parts OF the motor or body
were damaged.

Drink Water to
Help Wash Out
Kidney Poison
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You, Begin
Taking Salts

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore don't get scared and pro-
coed to load your stomach with lot of
drugs that excite the kidneys and irri-
tate the entire urinary tract. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with
mild, harmless salts which helps to re-
move the body's urinous waste and slim
ulateS them to their normal activity.
The function of the kidneys is to filter
the blood. IN "a hours they strain from
it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we
can readily understand the vital impor-
lance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast each morning for
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help clean and stirnu-
late clogged kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in the system so they are no
longer a source of irritation, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink, which everyone
should take now and then TO help keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this; also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of Your kidney trouble and back
ache By all means have your physi-
clan examine your kidneys at least twice
a year,

From Mud Afterward.


The fire truck was pressed into ser

and half OF water which had accu-

library. The work of removing the
water from the cellar required only a
few minutes, but extracting the truck
from the soft ground required a con-
