Range: Breeds from Kansas, Ohio, Georgia (mountains), and New Jer sey, north to southern Canada; win tors from Mexico to South America. Habits and economic status: This beautiful grosbeak is noted for Its clear, melodious notes, which are poured forth in generous measure. The rosebreast sings even at midday dur ing summer, when the intense heat has silenced almost every other song ster. Its beautiful plumage and sweet song are not Its sole claim on our favor, for few birds are more beneficial to agriculture. The rose breast eals some green peas and does some damage to fruit. But this mis chief is much more than balanced by the destruction of Insect pests. The bird is so fond of the Colorado potato beetle that it has earned the name of “polato-bug bird.” and no less than a tenth of the total food of the rose breasts examined consists of potato beetles- evidence that tho bird Is one of the most important enemies of the pest. It vigorously attacks cucumber beetles and many of the scale insects. It proved an active enemy of the Rocky mountain locust during that insect's ruinous invasions, and among the other pests it consumes are the spring and fall eankerworms, orchard and forest tent caterpillars, tussock, gipsy, nnd brown-tail moths, plum cur culio, army worm, and chinch bug In fact, not one ot our birds has a better record. I " I Jimmie and a German Boy Clash— Muet Do Three Things to Sava Country. It was a warm evening, so Uncle I)nn went out to a lawn seat under the spreading branches of the great tree thnt suggested the farm’s name of Oak Hill. Billie and Jimmie had been lay ing for him, so Uncle Dan was cup tured by the boys on short order. “Say, Uncle Dan.” Billie begnn. “We had a red-hot argument at school yes terday with Carl Newman. Carl said that German schools were miles ahead of our schools nnd that no one could come up to the eduented German. Well, Jimmie got hot under the collar and handed It back to him good and plenty. Jimmie said if their education taught them to torpedo I.usitanlas, sink hos pital ships, murder hundreds of wom en nnd children, mnke slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees and commit all sorts of crimes, then we dkl not want thnt kind of education here. What do you think nhout It, Uncle Dan? I told Jimmie you spent n lot of time In Europe nnd knew all about schools, so give us your opinion.” “Well,” replied Uncle Dan, dellber* ntely, “the German schools nre very thorough ; they furnish exceedingly val uable and practical Instruction. Th^ Industrial training given there Is prob ably tbe best to be found. Tlie schools us a whole, however. In my opinion, appeal to the head only, nnd never to the heart. The aim and trend Is to make the Individual blindly submis sive to the Prussinn plan of world do minion; they tench that it is the des tiny of Germany to rule the world, nnd that to the glory and ndvnnce of Ger many, in this plan, all things must give way; that the kaiser ns head of the state, can do no wrong if he carries forward the plan of world control. Some of the grentest teachers nnd preachers even defend nnd justify her heartless crushing of Belgians nnd the many other ntroclous crimes she has committed in this war. Thank God, our American education reaches both the bend and the heart. It is an edu cation with n soul, and we must main tain the high ideals we have fixed. In a word, in Germany, the people nre taught that they exist for the govern ment, while here the government ex ists to serve the people.” “Just wait a minute," interrupted Billie. Say thnt over again slowly, so I can write it down." Unde Dan, smilingly, complied. Billie exclaimed : “Now, we will hand that nut out for Carl to crack. Carl, you know,” continued Billie, “lias a very smart father who keeps him posted on the German arguments. Carl sa. ’ our government was only an experiment anyway; thnt It would not last twenty years, nnd thnt it might burst up any old time. JlmmU asked him If Germany was so mighty good, why they did not go back there to live.” “Our government will go on forever, won’t it. Uncle Dan?” “Now,” said Uncle Dan, “you nre raising n big question, and one thnt has troubled me for years. Our gov ernment is still in the experimental , singe; In fact, it is the greatest ex periment ever undertaken, and if pop Ulnr government is to tie successful, n j few things must he done, otherwise, to paraphrase the great Lincoln, the gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people, will perish. It is ^ my firm conviction,” said Uncle Dan, In a very Impressive manner, “that If our country Is to go on, us we hope and prny, we must very quickly do at least three things, nnd I will name them In the order of Importance ns It appears to me: “First, adopt compulsory universal military training of all young men physically fit before they reach the age of twenty yearsi “Next, require that every foreigner who comes here to live must, within n reasonable time, say n year, declare las intention of becoming an American citizen nnd take the necessary steps to do so, thereby, from that moment, as suming nil the obligations of citizen ship of our country, and that means ho must defend our flag upon eqiVtl terms with our native horn, and If he Is not j willing to do this, he should be sent | buck from whence he came.” "That’s the stuff," exclaimed Billie, "And, finally, enact such legislation ns will make voting compulsory. Pop- j ulnr government Is based upon the participation of all and the rule of the majority, and democracy cannot continue and he successful unless we live up to the spirit of the Institu tion. “The first step, however, Is the pass ing of the Chamberlain bill for univer sal military training. If you will get the leading citizen, and especially the editor of your paper, to write personal letters to your congressman nnd both senators, urging their support, it will help enormously. “I see by the morning papers,” said Uncle Dun, “that the Rotary clubs of the entire country, the llvest, most effi cient organization to be found, hare j unanimously decided to get back of the Chamberlain bill nnd give it loyal and enthusiastic support. They will work with the Universal Military) Training league to accomplish this im-; portant piece of legislation, which wilt, do more than anything else to make ns a real nation with a common view point. bring us back to sane living, and teach us the patriotism of service.” Your Children’s Portraits ! are a source of never-failing pleasure to you, relatives and to the children, as they grow older.
