Think About This
"The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be credited on the trusted foundation of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve." President Wilson.
Practical Patriotism
5 " Stirring times are ahead of us. v The war into
hich the United States is about to enter will be "no nicnic. Our brothers, fathers and sons will
:be killed and wounded. Vast accumulations of
our wealth will disappear, for modern warfare is prodigal in the use of both money and men. i Everything points to a period in which the American people will be forced to husband their and fitrenorth: A eiffantic struggle for
human liberty cannot be won without an equally
gigantic expenditure of resources that will affect every patriot. While some, of us are in camps training and preparing for service in the battle line, others -will have the equally great duty of making the materials needed by the fighters. Women will Jbe called on to help prepare hospital supplies, or, kn the utmost crisis, to make munitions. ; Every dollar wasted by an American these "days means a dollar taken from our national wealth -and subtracted from the finances required "jtc wage the war. The Allies probably will want vast food supplies in preference to men just now. The com;missary department is the vital factor at this 'stage of the war. .Some one has to raise everything the armies and non-combatants of Europe : and of the United States require.. ) It is a highly patriotic duty, now for every citizen to do his share in making every square yard ;-!of fertile soil produce food for his family. All idle ground devoted to home gardens means more food for those who have no ground and more food to spare for the armies. !' The food supply of a large army is 'no idle
dream. Fighters must have substantial food in large quantities. It is a military necessity. Hence, the government will always have the first claim to the crops. A food shortage can be prevented easily if the thousands of acres of idle land within our cities and adjacent to the city limits are put under cultivation. The home garden may be the means of preventing suffering next year. ;
Conserving Human Life 1 Human life is precious. If a man is injured in a factory, he is not the only sufferer. The owners of the factory, his family, the city, and
the long run of the whole country is injured, to a greater or less degree, for even if the injured
workman is compensated for his injury and the loss of time, the factory suffered a loss in his absence from the bench, his income has been reduced entailing a loss to his family, the merchant, the city and the state. In a broader sense this also applies to the death of a person from a preventable disease. Every illness that could have been prevented is a direct charge against the whole community. Even if we escape illness in an epidemic of typhoid fever, we are paying the price for the con
ditions that permitted .the disease. The wrong
living of thousands in the United States costs all
of us money. Life insurance companies are be
ginning to realize that their sphere of activity includes an effort to cut down the excessive life waste in the United States., William A: Day, president of the Equitable Life Assurance company of New York in an address before the tenth annual meeting of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents said: Should we not, for example, be more keenly concerned in the remedy for excessive life waste that is going on in this country? Does not our mission and place In the nation's life justify us in undertaking to conserve the lives of the insured and in searching for some consistent way to forward the public health movement? This is not only an altruistic and patriotic purpose, but it is directly related to the reduction of the cost of insurance. The health conservation ideal is gaining supporters, but not as fast as it should. The preservation of human life is the primary duty Of civilization and we should do our part in it. We throw safeguards around money and property but as a Whole are reckless with life and limb. Judged by a monetary standpoint it will
pay all of us to help check the waste of life in our
country.

Z Range: Resident throughout the ; United States, southern Canada, and ,V?. northern Mexico.

the cherry season In California Brew
r's blackbird is much in the orchards.
In one case they were Been to eat free ly of cherries, but when a neighboring
fruit raiser began to plow his orchard
almost every blackbird In the vicinity was upon the newly opened ground
and close at the plowman's heels in Its eagerness to get the insects exposed
by the plow. Caterpillars and pupae
form the largest item of animal food
(about 12 per cent). Many of these
are cutworms, and cotton bollworms or corn earworms were found in ten
stomachs and codling-moth pupae in
11? Beetles constitute over 11 per
cent of the food. The vegetable food is practically contained in three Items grain, fruit, and weed seeds. Grain,
mostly oats, amounts to 54 per cent;
fruit, largely cherries, 4 per cent; and
weed seeds, not quite 9 per cent. The
grain is probably mostly wild, vol'
unteer, or waste, so that the bird does
most damage by eating fruit
