A typographical error appeared in lljo "Madden News" column last week which, though obviously unintentlonl, should be corrected. Our correspond ent was made to say that "The friends of Mr. Walt Cunningham will regret to hear that lie is 'now' improving." Of course it should have heen "not" improving, for it is well known that there is no one so interested In the welfare of her neighbors as is our Madden correspondent.

Editor The Advertiser: I would like to have a few words to say In your valuable paper in regard to the destructive way that the peo ple of this county are killing our birds their best friends, and the most help ful farm labor that we have. Tin y don't stop to consider what it amounts to when they are killing them. The partlrdge, flicker and others too] numerous to mention, are a great help to the farmer in-destroying all kinds of Insects and rodent pests and nearly all kinds of weeds and grass seeds such as the farmer lias the most trou ble in cultivating bis crops. The par tridge Is one of the most widely bunt ed of our wild birds, yet they are the most useful to the farmer. It has nev er been known to do any kind of in jury to bis crops. If all the birds were killed in this country it would be almost impossible to raise anything here at all. A few years ago you could see big gangs of biue birds but you hardly ever see one now. It's true that a lot of them have been frozen to death, but the most of them were klled by men and boys that didn't know what a help they were to them. Fathers ought to teach their boys that it Is wrong to rob bird nests and catch young birds the way some boys do. The mother and father bird grieve ov er their young just as much as you would if you were to U se one of yours. So let all of us see to it that we do more to protect our birds in the fu ture than we have in the past. Hoping this will servo as a warning to some who have been mistreating birds. I remain, Yours truly, Eugene Madden. Waterloo, K. F. 1). 1. OVER 06 YEARS' Trade Marks Designs Copyrights Ac.
