Bird, Vine and Tree.

The place where the ruby-throatcd
humming bird. the trumpet vine and
the sycamore tree live together is
neither town nor country. 1t is near
enough the country so that the bird
and the vine and the tree have con-
genial neighbors, but il is also near
enough the town SO that when the
clouds forget the country and the
Wild blossoms become dusty and dry,
the city water from the hose makes
IL very comfortable for the tree and
the vine and the bird
The sycamore tree has such a broad
bosom and such strong arms that it
easily holds the vine, which is three
or four times as big as any other
trumpet vine could be. The vine
grows to the highest branches of the
swing down in the air, making it de-
lightful for the humming bird. 1t is
nd wonder that the tree is content
the vine beautiful and the bird so
happy that he is always humming.
Trees and vines and birds have a
pleasant habit Of seeming satisfied
With the one particular spot in which
they live. 1t may be that they are
just lucky and it may be that they
are willing to adapt themselves tc
their surroundings and it may be that
they get some satisfaction out of the
fact that they are all more or less
aitruistic. Altruism does not mean t0
get value received. but it usually does
get it, and the trees and vines and
birds are always busy helping each
other. receiving and giving all the
time.
And SO when the hummlng bird
starts his little suction pump work
ing away at the blossom on the trum'
pet vine he gets bit of honey ant
frees the blossom spiders and gnats
that have erawled into it. He more
than pays for his room and beard by
scattering the pollen from the bios
SONS and helping the trumpet vine

the family, and that the others coulC
not live without him and that import
ant feeling is one of the incest feel
ings ANYBODY can have. The bird takc'
care of the vine and the vine shelters
and feeds the bird and the tree sup
ports them both. OF course, YOU maN
think that the tree could get along
without the others. hut il could nevel
be happy. for without their BEAUTY

Mr.. Calder suggested that the best
site for the proposed clubhouse would
be on tho northwest corner OF the
present oval. There IS a good sized
piece OF ground at that location. and
there is also a tract OF land, city
property. running the entire length of
the oval and about fifty yards wide,
which could be cleaned up and put In
condition for athletics. In this extra
tract n quarter of a mile track could
be laid out. and also 220-yard
straisht-away. Seats for spectators
could be placed on tho west side OF
the dash and track. which would give
ideal arrangements for hot afternoons.
