ANOKA COUNTY “On both; sides” is the Sioux or Dakota Indian mean- ing of Anoka, which became a county in 1857. The name was applied first to the ecity which became that county seat, because it was laid out on both sides of the Rum River. The Chippewa word ““‘Anoka,” meaning ‘‘work,” is sometimes given as the source of the name, on the theory that it was applied because of the extensive lumbering operations along the river. The weight of evidence, however, is in fa- vor of the Dakota word. *ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ko k ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok k ok k% ok k k ok ok ok ok ok ok ko ok ko k ok ok ok ok ok k ok ok ok ok ok LB E SRR EEEEREERRS The City of Enterprisi BACK TO THE STARTING POINT More than one American editor has asserted that by the recent destruc- tion without warning of the Channel packet Sussex and other British, French and neutral liners every pledge made by Germany to the United States has been broken. How- ever, that may be, whether open to question or not, it may at least be regarded as certain that there will be one more protracted diplomatic debate. without definite result. Ten months have witnessed a con- tinuing performance of inquiry and demand at Washington and of prom- ise, excuse and evasion at Berlin, yet the Lusitania case is still unsettled and submarine operations .are pro- ceeding- with no perceptible modifi- cation.. No sooner is an approach- ing- settlement announced than new tragedies at sea carry the contro- versy: back to the starting point. Meanwhile the people have so wearied . of an interminable diplo- matic discussion that they are glad of an -excuse to turn their thoughts to other-things. ‘What.is to be done about it? Per- haps congress can:answer after pass- ingrthe Hay bill, a modest venture in the direction of preparedness that hardly: provides for a Mexican .dis- turbance; let alone a serious war with ‘a great: power. RESTRICTING. IMMIGRATION President Cleveland vetoed an im- migration bill in 1897 because of its literacy test. President Taft ve- toed the immigration bill of 1912 and President Wilson vetoed the im- migration bill of 1914 for the same reason. The persistence of the present congress in the matter of the Burnett bill with its literacy test is attributed to the fear, as Represen- tative Mann has expressed it, of a “flood . of immigration such as no country ever experienced - before” when peace returns to Europe. This is only a part of the explanation. No doubt the real explanation is to|:! be found in the demand of American labor to be protected from the great inflow of needy and price-cutting workers. The governments of Europe will have great need of all their men who survive this war and they will no doubt undertake to prevent or re- duce the outflow of emmigrants. The expected ‘“‘flood of immigration” may or may not be sufficiently restricted at its source. If not, there is need of further measures for restriction at our end of the line. A literacy test would greatly cut down the number of those admitted, but would not bar out the most objectionable classes. Our gates need to be guard- ed against the diseased, the feeble mindéd a6d thé undesirable”in gen eral, but there:is nothing to be said of a law that lets in anarchists and shuts out the honest, able-bodied peasants of Europe who during so many past years have come to us and served so well in the work of this country’s: industrial cupbuilding. Un+ der'similar restrictions the panents:ef Abraham Lincoln, if foreigm-barn; would have been-shut out and denied the privilege of giving their illus- jtrious son to the United States. BIRDS THE FARMER’S FRIENDS: As the birds gather with the ap- proach of spring, does the average o |[armer Tecognize - them as the friends that they really are? No doubt he is well aware of the services that some of them-perform, but it would perhaps require considerable argu- ment to convince him that even the depredations of the crow and the hawk are more than offset by their good work in the destruction - of harmful insects. That this, how- ever surprising, is true, 'is shown by a bulletin on the common birds of the farm and orchard issued by the agricultural department at Washington. The entomologists, it appears, have estimated that insects yearly cause the loss of not less than $700,000,- 000 to the agricultural interests of the United States, and that this loss would be vastly increased if there were no birds. Indeed, successful agriculture would be impossible with- out the aid of the birds. The crow pulls up corn and is otherwise mis- chievous in the spring, it is true, but scientific observers regard him as more helpful than harmful because he eats many insects, white grubs, cut worms and mice. Even owls and hawks destroy vast quantities of in- sects and harmful rodents. Birds do not live long but they live intensely; they breathe rapidly and have a high temperature and a rapid circulation. In consequence a large guantity of food is necessary. This explains why they devote most of their waking hours to feeding, although they can move quickly from place to place where food is found and feed very rapidly. Thus they destroy incredible numbers of in- sects. In the stomach of a single hawk, for example, have been found a hundred grasshoppers which rep- resented only one meal. In the re- treat of one pair of barn owls have been found three thousand skulls, 97 per cent of which were of mammals, the bulk of these being field mice, house mice and common rats. A tree swallow’s stomach was found to contain forty entire chinch bugs and fragments of many others, besides ten other species of insects. In Texas a single bank swallow was found to have devoured sixty- eight cotton boll weevils, one of the or ro Dealer BRAINERD-MAN ON EVE OF OPERATIO E. A.
