The song ended in shout as the
boys reached the top OF the stairs.
Hey Where're you at?"
Bob opened the door, and In they
came. when Ed went out to see IL Jack
knein was in sight yet.
He was just coming along the walk
at the side of the house when Ed met
him and Immediately took him up to
the shop. After introducing him to
the rest OF the boys they all seated
themselves about on bench, boxes and
tool chest and waited for Jack to
speak. He in turn looked all around
the group of expectant faces and then
began:
Now, in the first place. I'm going to
call you all by your first names, and I
want you to call me plain jack and
then we'll feel more acquainted. Now,
Vic. what have you been making?'
Vic rather sheepishiy pulled out the
sticks he had been whiting on and
handed them to him.
''Oh, yes he said, "a windmill. That
gives me an idea, and I'll tell you how
to make some windmills. some of them
new and some old. They're all good,
though. Vic" he said. turning to him.

Peanut lovers have noticed that the
nuts are generally very much larger

may be verified by the most casual
glance at any stand where they are
sold. They are said to be much bet

connoisseurs who declare that the
small nut is the sweetest.

YOUNG BIRDS EVER IN PERIL
A Wonder He Ever Grows Up, He Has
So Many Enemies.

So many dangers beset young birds
between the time they are Matched
and the time when they are able to
take care of themselves it is a won.
der that so many of them reach matur-
ity. That any of them do SO Is prob
ably due to the fact that this period
OF helplessness is comparatively short,
averaging perhaps three weeks with
the majority of our perching birds.
During the period of incubation the
nest is comparatively safe; as rule
1t is inconspicuous, often carefully
hidden, and the sitting bird is usually
silent
AS soon as the tender chicks break
through the shells of the eggs it be-
comes difficult matter indeed for
the parents to keep their secret from a
hundred enemies more pitiless than
any storm, and whose eyes. ears and
noses are ever ready to detect the
presence of such dainty and available
morsels as nesting birds.
The feeding of the little ones and
the cleaning of the nest necessitate
scores of visits daily on the part of the
old birds, and, quietly as the work
is usually done, so much passing back
and forth to given point is very
often apt to attract undesirable atten-
ton. Then the young birds them
selves seem very indiscreet and fire.
quently make so much ado when their
parents arrive with food that they
seeem to invite every enemy within
sight or hearing.
The young of birds which build on
the ground are perhaps the ones which
are subject to the greatest number of
dangers. Fortunate it is for them
that they know no evil-that their in
born fear is latent and does not de-
velop until such time as it shall profit
them to be afraid until they are able
to fly and thus escape the dangers they
are afraid Of
White footed mice in all probability
destroy young birds occasionally,
since they are fond of animal food.
Personally, have never seen a gray
squirrel injure birds nest, but
think there is enough good evidence
forthcoming to convict him of at least
occasionally eating both eggs and
nestlings. Red squirrels and chip
hunks have been caught in the act
so often that they may be regarded as
habitual criminals.
In proportion to their numbers,
however, it is doubtful if squirrels do
anywhere near the damage that is
wrought by the domestic cat. The lat
ter is larger and requires much more
food, and it is also more apt to kill
merely for sport. The cat problem is
a serious one with bird lovers, the
more so because of the strong hold
pussy has on thousands of good people.
