0ur Bird Nest

BY Priscilla Calder, Age 2, Bellevue. Neb.
We have a sleeping porch on the second
story. east side. II is so hugh that n is
in the tops of the oaks which surround
our house. We call It our bird nest. and
sleep out there all year round.
Last spring We put a bird house 10 the
tree top beside our nest. Soon two little
wrens began building a nest in the little
house. When the nest was finished denny
Wren laid some little pink eggs, with
reddish brown spots. While she sat to
hatch the eggs. Papa Wren guarded tho
nest and brought her food. He woke us
every morning with his CHEEKY song.
When the baby birds came we enjoyed
watching the father and mother feed them
ahd teach them TO fly, &c.,
In the spring time there are orioles,
tanagers, merry thrushes, blueblris. rob-
irT, Kentucky cardinals, phoebes. rose
Breasted grosbeaks and many other kinds
of birds in these trees about our nest to
make us in the early morning.
One old bluejay often comes on a limb
close to us and calls. Wake up!' Wake
up" He is very persistent.
The birds wake up. Then sister and /
lie still and watch them and listen to
their song. and watch the sun come UP
over the Iowa bluffs and the river.

DEMAND OGG'S
EARLY REMOVAL

Trainmen on the Denver & Rio
Grande have served notice on the
management that they will again re-
new their petition to the company
asking for the resignation of Super
intendent R. J. Ogg of the Salida di-
vision unless he rescinds the order
which forbids the men to stop 80
minutes at Glenwood Springs for
lunch.
1t is the second clash of the same
kind between the men and Superin-
tendent Ogg that has occurred in two
years. A strike was threatened be-
fore unless the superintendent was
removed, and it was with the great
est difficulty that the road could paci-
fy the men and retain the official.
The trainmen complain that Ogg is
getting even with them for their
petition asking for his removal, and
the taking away of the noon lunch
order is sample, they say, of his
revenge.
Rio Grande officials and trainmen
have just signed a schedule which
was satisfactory to both parties TO
the agreement, and the new manage
ment of the road promised a reign of
harmony between employer and en-
ploye. The 3O-minute lunch order
bids fair to undo all of the good work
and it is probable that grand lodge
officers will again be called into con-
sultation to help do away with the
order.
