music that is well worth while / have
heard this repeatedly.
As with all song birds, the song of the
robin varies greatly, especially as to
quality of voice. The form of the song
has been described as "a disconnected
MARBLE in rather a narrow compass of
voice, and with slight variations. ."
Someone has characterized the song in
these words:

His General Habits.
At is not easy TO single out any of
the general habits of this bird, to speak
about; there is so much that might be
said, and he is so individual in his

A Question Asked.

The Texas Brewers Association
has raised a fund of 100000 to
combat prohibition in Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi. And yet
we are continually told by the
liquor trade advocates that more
liquor is sold in prohibition States
than in license States; condition
which, if true, would benefit the
trade in two ways-more revenue
and no expenditure of license fees.
Does the Texas Brewers Associa-
ton pose as public benefactor?-
