During its residence in the United States Frank llr.’3 gull is practically confined to the interior and is the only inland gull with black head and red bill. Range: Breeds in the Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota, and the neighboring parts of southern Canada; winters from the Gulf coast to South America. Habits and economic status: Near ly all of our gulls are coast-loving spe cies and spend comparatively little of their time in fresh water, but Frank lin’s is a true inland gull. Extensive marshes bordering shallow lakes are its chosen breeding grounds, and as many such areas are being reclaimed for agricultural purposes it behooves the tillers of the soil to protect this valuable species. When undisturbed this gull becomes quite fearless and fol lows the plowman to gather the grubs and worms from the newly turned fur rows. It lives almost exclusively upon insects, of which it consumes great quantities. Its hearty appetite is manifest from the contents of a few stomachs: A, 327 nymphs of dragon flies; B, 340 grasshoppers, 52 bugs, 3 beetles, 2 wasps, and 1 spider; C, 82 beetles, 87 bugs, 984 ants, 1 cricket, 1 grasshopper, and 2 spiders. About four-fifths of the total food is grass hoppers, a strong point in favor of this bird. Other injurious creatures eaten are billbugs, squash bugs, leaf-hoppers, click beetles (adults of wlreworms), May beetles (adults of white grubs), and weevils. Franklin's gull is prob ably the most beneficial bird of its eroup. Silas Robbins has sufficiently re covered from his recent operation to be able to leave the hospital. He is now at his home on Miami street. LINCOLN, NEIL • The M. M. P. Club gave their first shirt waist ball of the season at Walsh’s hali Monday evening, May 29th. All report a very enjoyable evening.
