FOR THE CHILDREN
DON'T XII The Rirdn.

| heard a bird lover say the other day
that If all the birds were banished from
the earth we could not possibly live on
It for any length OF time. Did you
know birds were so important? Just
think OF IT, The birds make II possible
for us to live! They are as necessary
TO us as water and air and food. one
reason why they are so important Is
that they eat rery many seeds of pol
sOnOus plants md weeds, which, II the
birds did not CistrOy them, would over
run things. Yhen they eat so muny
grubs. which destroy our grain and
fruit trees and bushes. We should DE
Oycrrun with those also II the birds did
not help us out There are other rea-
sons. too, why we should want every
bird to live. How many Of you know
them?
Just at this time Of year our little
friend the yellow bird makes himself
familiar again. The sOclablc little fell
lows do not retire TO the woods, but
seem to prefer the gaycr life of cult
waited ground. They seldom appear in
1ocks and will often be found In or
near orchards and shade trees, search
Ing for small catcrpllars and canker-
worms.
Keep your eyes open and see If you
cannot find the yellow bird again by
the following description:
Song Merry and happy and Sweet
sweet swe-eet-y."
Size Nearly five inches long.
Malc.-IIead above. bright yellow;
back, olive green; golden yellow, streak
ed with orange. below; dark. slender
bill and dark feet.
Female Like the male, but breast
stripes more indistinct.
From the song Of the yellow bird. as
well as his appearance. you may well
cXclalm, why, there's Il strayed ca
nary
II you can find nest I'm the shrub
berry with thick, closely woven walls
Of vegetable material and In IT three
to five dull eggs. marked around the
larger end with brown spots, you will
know you have found the yellow birds
home, and II you are patient and do not
disturb the nest or birds the baby yell

you have made up your mind what you
would most like to know all about,
whether horses or electricity or sea-
shells or whatever else may occur to
you. Make up your mind that you will
know one thing well.
There Is another very fascinating
thing to think about, and that Is what
you want to do when you are grown up.
1t doesn't matter whether you are rich
or poor, you can all do pretty much
what you want to do II you begin early
enough and stick to the idea. II is a
glorious thing TO feel that we have the
power within ourselves to be some
thing worth while and to do something
worth while.
