Panama has rebelled against
the central government Of Co
loInbio, driven out the govern
meat troops and set up an in
dependent state. The cause is
alleged 20 BE- Colombia's refusal
to accept Unclc Sans terms TOR
building the great canal across
tie isthmus, for which the people
OF Panama were very anxious.
Uncle Sam has recognized the
new government and has sent
ships there to protect Americans
and preserve free traffic across
isthums. 1t is thought this
makes the canal a sure thing
1t would seem strange, however
if Colombia gave up one of her
states without a struggle.

Never build the nests high. Have
them so low that the hens can step in

Flat perchcs are best because they
