Could Not Live Without Birds.
The value of birds to man Is based
(Mvclpnlly on their feeding habits,
'ltwlr grentest help Is through their
activity In eating harmful Insects,
fltelr eggs nnd larvae. Without this
constant aid, we would be powerless
to protect our trees and crops from
the riivnges of caterpillars, beetles,
borers and such crentures.

It Is cusy to believe In that golden

be remembered Unit tomorrow Is like

warm and several dark shades has
been chosen for street and for formal
suits, with such persistence that It may
displace navy blue which lias had a
