This season robins appear to be
seeking the protecting care of man
when it comes to building nests. Last
week one constructed a nest beneath
the drum which is used as q sign for
the G. A. r. on Third street. 1t is in
the business section of the CITY and
when the young robins come out of
the pretty blue eggs they will
be entertained by all kinds of
city noises. Another nest is on
the porch at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. d. Porter and still another
above the front door of the X. B.
Griggs residence. Robins have no
use for pllfering blue jays and inquisi-
tive squirrels ana for these reasons the
olfGS are no doubt seeking the pro-
tecting care of man.

the ex- president says it is not SO.

were the following, to act as witnesses
and to hear the case: Clifford Pinchot,

Lawrence Abbott, son of DR.. Lyman
Il. Abbott; Surg. Gen. Rixey, U. S.
