A large mountain ash tree which
we have occasion to pass every day
carried over until this spring num-
Der of punches of its berries and we
wondered why this was. We have
found out. A big blizzard came u
bringing with it six inches of sno~
after the robins had migrated from
the south. just after the storm,
when food was hard TO find, we saw
a flock of twenty busily engaged in
disposing of these dried mountain
ash berries, finding them perhaps
not so toothsome a morsel as big
fat earthworm. but still better than
no food at all.

What Shape Is Il In

If you have an interest in a ceme-
terry, and it is presumed that you will
have sooner or later, it is your duty
as patriotic citizen to see that it
it not left to become one of those
spots which are a standing disgrace
to an enlightened American civiliza-
ton. Cooperate cheerfully with your
neighbors in the effort to make the
sacred acre give evidence of the care
and attention bestowed upon it. The
dead will rest undisturbed surround
ed by weeds and neglect, but it is a
disgrace to the living, nevertheless.
