FEW ROBINS SEEN
HERE THIS WINTER
Usually They Are Plenti-
fUI

Americas is enjoying a winter of
roses, but not of robins, for while
roses have bloomed continuously Ia
open yards here throughout the en-
tire winter, the songbirds of the
North have, for the first time in the
recollection of the oldest inhabitant'
failed to put in their appearance as
winter tourists.
The homecoming of the robins is pro-
badly due to the fact that the winter ia
the North has been rather mild, the
weather not having been of sufficient
severity to send the little red-breastel
yankees" to Georgia. The robin, as
well known, is a song bird in his ma
tive heath, and is esteemed there as is
the hooking bird here. AS a rule, how.
ever, he comes to Georgia in. the fail
to escape the chilling Northern via
ter, and while here he is slaughtered
Unfortunately by hunters as game

Recently the Georgia game wardens
have extended protection to the robin,
which has long been protected by law.
but Mr.. Redbreast evidently is not
aware of the fact, and takes no
chances on coming South. So far not
a drove of robins have been seen in
or near Americas, where usually there
are many at this season.

HURRAH! LEO is GOING to
SHAKE BOOMERS
Alton, ILL.,, Jan. 2O.-Leo Groh,
the tallest boy in the senior class
of the local high school, will wear
long pants at the graduation exer-
cises.
Leo wants it understood that
he is dressing in that fashion be-
cause his mother wants him to,
and not because of a resolution
passed by the class last week.
Several of the girls and all the
boys in Leo's class at a meeting
demanded that he discard knick-
erBockers and dress like a real
man at commencement. When
Mrs. Groh heard about the "im-
pertinence," she became peeved,
and said if she wished she could
send her baby" to school dressed
in a directoire skirt. Citizens of
the town prepared themselves for
a feud.
Mrs. Groh learned that the
boys and girls had donated money
to buy Leo pair of boots that
would make clowns costume
look sedate. 1t was planned to
kidnap him and force them on his
lengthy legs.
Mrs. Groh yielded and took
Leo to a clothing store, where
she bought him a suit that includ-
ed long pants.
Leo weighs 90 pounds and this
weight is distributed over a 5 foot
8 inch frame.
