What bird gets married the earliest:
The horned owl, says Landon Knight,
in the July Delineator, and his des-
criptiOn of the courtship, marriage
and parentbood of this ugly bird is
very amusing, as we'll as instructive.
He also tells the story of the love and
home building of many others of the
feathered family, including the crow,
blackbird, oriole, chickadee, bobolink,
warbler, king bird, woodpecker and

Wherever is found an aerie of Eagles
there is found brotherly love, fraternal
regard and helping hands to relieve
suffering and distress. At the meeting
of the Prescott aerie of Eagles No.
233, which meeting was held Thursday
night, it was suggested that there
were thousands of homeless and
suffering people in the flood districts
of Kansas and Missouri. 4 word was
sufficient. The hearts of the members
were touched with sympathy and 500
was voted out of the treasury and or
dered forwarded to the sufferers at
once. 1t is this kind of charity that
has made the Eagles so popular all
over the country and given them a
growth that has never before been /
equaled in this or ANY other country, |
for the length of time the order has
been in existence.
