College Girls of Kansas Helping to

Wheat Crop,

Kansas women have never been

sunflower state is much larger than il
has been for several years past, and
farmers are experiencing some diff
Guilty in getting it harvested, The
present war has weeded out the young
men from the farming districts and
labor, consequently, is hard to get,
Thousands of harvest hands have been
imported but not enough to do the
work. So the wives and daughters of
the farmers have gone into the fields
to help along the work themselves.
Livingaroundin Sedgwick county are
many girls who have attended colleges
in the east since they were tots. Their
fathers are prosperous farmers. These
girls came home this summer to find
their agricultural parents in the midst
of a great problem, how to get the
wheat harvested. Like Kansas girls
they solved it by helping harvest the
crop themselves. 1t is no uncommon

binder, straw hat upon her head, a
calico dress and coarse shoes, sits the
farmer girl of Kansas. She is doing
a good work, and when she returns to

wear the ruddy glow brought on by a

1t was this year that the new phase
of imported socialism came into view

English syndicate and the erection
there of enormous workshops. The
principal industry was the manuiac-

tools, hardened by a new process,
equal to the finest steel. The same
syndicate had purchased an enormous

a true little story to you win tell
OF darling live baby way down in WELT
While mamma was writing and nurse of her

Child Harold his travels began in the yard;
Straight down through the orchard and on to
the wood
His little feet scampcred as fast as they could
He came pretty soon to hole round and deep,
Where spring had danced up and then fallen

So quiet it lay that the birds came to drink,
And the sun played bo-poep with the ferns
round the brink
He had heard there are tiny elf creatures that
dwell
In the clear, CLASSY depths Of a wood-enshrined
we'll;
He had looked for as long as a half OF a year
For that home OF the fairies, and loI it was
here.
"Hurrahl there is onel and baby, like mel''
He laughs and he mods and he trembcs with
glce.
at is truc-it is truel" and he flies home to tell
OF the real baby-fay living down in the we'll
There are mystical spirits all round us, I'm
sure
They smile and they sigh, they forbid and they
lure;
Some good and some naughty, some sad and
some gay;
Some watch us by night some are with US at
play.
And when little Harold bent over the rim
OF the slippery stones that were messy and
dim,
Some angel ween, saw that no harm bcfen;
But his own baby face looked up from the well.

TAUGHT TO BUILD NESTS.
This Is one OF the Most Important
Features of the Education
of Young Birds.

It isR common error 10 believe that
with birds the knowledge of building
their nests is innate, 1t is trade that
is taught to every bird by its parents
and in Just as systematic a manner
as men are trained to be builders
Birds are born with the instinct TO
carry little twigs and the materials
of which nests are made, but unless
they are instructed in the art OF build
ing they will just drop them in pie
and never attempt to weave them INTO
nests.
1t is after the young birds have
learned to fly that the older ones reg
ularly teach them the process of in
terweaying and lining that is neces-
sary TO construct nests. This is most
complicated and trade peculiarly
their own; it cannot be initiated even
by men. To arrange the little t"igs
so that they will be symmetrical and
strong enough to hold the weight OF
the mother bird and four or five little
ones to a branch of tree requires
good engineering ability, The lining
Of the nest is usually of a much softer
material than that of which the out
side is made, and to place this neatly
is also taught by the older birds. Hum
ming birds will often follow cows for
days to pick up their soft hair with
which to line their nests, and they
weave it as compactly as a piece of
flannel. Birds that have always been
in cages can never make nests and are
pitiably clumsy even with cotton, wool
and material that has been given to
| them.
That nest building is taught is also
true of those that squirrels and mice
build, as we'll as bees, wasps and
ants.
The green ant of Australia is very
clever in the building of its nest. It
appears to consider it an irksome duty
that can be hired out. A small spider
lis therefore trained to do this work
and acts as a servant in all things.
The green ants pay the spiders for
their labors in a coin that they enjoy
1t is by giving them to eat portion OF
the innumerable little eggs that they
the ants, lay. This is a most agreeable
arrangement for all, man included, as
otherwise the green ants would rival
the rabbits in oyerrunning Australia

Mrs Hendricks had him at a disad-
vantage. He turned the matter over
in his mind and viewed it from every
conceivable point. There seemed only
one way out of the growing uneer-

men, surround the house and make
the officers prisoners.
