One ef the important missions f the humane society, according to its members, is to help the farmers to realize how valuable are the birds which they are in some instances so prone to destroy. It is pointed out that th-e 'iirds, even though all may not )e beautiful songsters, are among the mtst valuable ef the farmers !ooperators. Their importance in -iddirtg crops 'from inspects held ?o far more valuable to the farmers than the chicken er two which nay be destroyed bv them is a letrnnent. 1u an incpview )n Friday Henry A. Persliing, fornerlv of Plymouth, secretary e.f the South Bend Humane society. ;aid concerning the subject : "If there is oriy ine thing that 'he fanner should tlo, it is to be a friend to the birels, for if there .WTe no birds there would' be nei rps. If I was a farmer I would iot allow a bird, hawk er crow to 'e killcel en my land, for the -cason that their value as destroyers of insects, cut worms, grass"'eipjjers. rats and mice is siniph n valuable. If the owls were al!
'il!ed. the fields of the farmei von hi soon be eaten up with. the
nice. Of course, once in a while'
in owl may kill a chicken, but that is small pay for the good york he 'does the farmer in the killing of mice, rats and insects. Yet nearly thousanels ef useful
owls are killcel hv the farmer be
cause he does not appieciate hov iseful an alb thev are in his work. , "Some states have even so little unlderstood the value of the
owl as to offer bounties for their Neads, thtis inviting heavy losses
tei farmer turenigh the increased
umber of rats, mice and insects
which it is the special werk of
these birels te held in check." "Owls are even greater mous
"rs than cats, especially when
'hey have broexls to fced anel one
owl was seen to catch 11 mice ri less than an hour. They eat
hem whole, lxdting them at one
' wallow. The common barn owl
does.tnot cat peuiltrv, hut the
rarmers shoot them on sight thro'
'gwirancc of this fact.
"If I were a farmer I should
encourage the envls to build
ny lan el and near mv 'barns. Careful Study Made.
"The government has made a
:areful study of owls and has ex
wnineel tho stemiachs of hundreds
of them and out tf two hundred
and fifty discovered that one hundred contained insects, ninety-one mice, anel. the remainder contain
ed spiders, crawfish, earth
worms, fish, lizards, a few birds.
nit enly one contained jxmltry.
while fortv-three were empty.
"Why then, in view of all that is
economic and humane, should
this valuable friend and ally of
the farmer be so persistently
shot hv the very farmers them
selves?" "But I am pleased to state that
the farmers. are becoming better posted e nthe lxirds and their usefulness and some elay I hope they will allow no-one to kill a single bird of any -description on their premises. National Reservation. "There are now enly about CO national bird reservations wdierc birds dare not be shot, but I trust some day the farmers of America will wake up and put a step to the slaughter ef his best friends and make their farms private bird sancturics where the millions. o insect eating quails, rebins, crows anld blackbirds also hawks and owls can carry on their good work safe from the gunner who considers it great sport to kill them."

When James J. Hill sounded
his; note of warning to the Ameri
can people three months ago he renelereel the country a distinctive service. It has "been the subject of conversation and discussion
ever since and the end is not yet.
The great railroad king of the
Northwest declared, as will be recalled, that extravagant living is one of the greatest evils of the day in this country anil that unless it is checked and economy practiced by government inelividuals national disaster will result. It is te he noted that the people whb preach economy most urgently are very likely to be those who have little er no need to practice it themselves, and who in fact, elo not practice it in a way that can be eletected by the public. Mr. Hill is himself a verv wealthy man. He lives in a
palace and there is no reason to
suppose that he and his family denv themselves anything they
mav desire on the trround that it
j i !s too costly. It may be that their tastes arc not expensive in comparison with those of many mil
lionaires: that thev do not run
to vachts or horse racing or friv
lities awl that in. this sense they
ire not extravagant; but it is not
.ctn;mv to deny erne's self things
that are not wantcel, whether
we's bank account justifies the
purchase of tlVem or not. Icoinomv consists in such
rriivagement of one's income, the
Indianapolis Star savs. that it
meets as far as mav be the nectls
f life and if possible leaves a remainder for the rainy day. It is very likely that Mr' Hill practiced this form of economy when le was young and poor and that i belief "in the value and importance of the system still clings te him, but Mr- Hill's present fortune is not the result of any outhfi.l habit erf saving; it is not 'y.ised on the small accumulations from his wages when he was a wage-earner, but wholly on his ability to eriginate and handle great business tin I'ertakings and to play a winning hand in the dubuions game of high finance. Therefore his injunctions to the niultituelc as te the virtues of savng lose something of the force they might have if he had built ip his wealth little by little as the result of ccoiuunies in personal vxpeneliture's. Ifsis doubtless true, however, as he says, that Americans, as a :lass do spend too much that :s. that the majority of them do ;o beyond the safe margin in the ut lay ef their income; but it the do it is, partly because ef the pace et by those whese wealth is "befond the dreams of avarice." Millionaires may spend what thev ')lease at least that is their own argument hut the things tint gratify ther.i nre equal lemptatnn to the pe p!e who aie a little le-ss than millie.nairrs. The latter want magnificent homes in :ity and country, too; they uih to live in luxury, tt entertain, to pen? much time abroad hobnobbing with royalty, and so on. Further down in the financial and social scale are men and women, who imitate the doings of these as best they may; net that they are always cemscious ef the imii tat ion, but the wavs of social life have been established by those in circles "beyond them and are follmved as a matter of course so far as circumstances will permitAmi so it goes on down the scale, each circle influenced more or, less by those just ahead. It is inevitable that under such circumstances money is spent that absolutely necessity does not call fir. Nearly every one's expenditures are affecte.f, if not governed, by the standard set by others. A man buys a home in a certain quarter ef town because it is fashionable, paying three times as much for it as a place eepiallly respectable and comfortable would cost him on another
street. A woman whe)S gowns arc perfectly good, but ef lvt year's style, buys new garments because ether women are buying them. The mother whose husband is a day laborer puts her little girl in embreidercd lawns because tlie child in the hig house up the street wears them. And so it goes. A part of this (-mnhtion grows out of the American spirit the feeling that erne man is as good as another and should have the best within reach ; but a part of it isNdiue to the example set by the wealthy, who are net compelled to limit their desires. Stern thrift is needed 'in American life the thrift which causes each man te spenel only that which he can ifferd regardless of bis neighbors, but who shall teach the way?" South Bend Times.
