Since the coming of the cold
weather all of our native birds seem
to have disappeared. The focks of
pigeons which usually make their
headquarters about the elevator and
mills have not been seen for several
weeks; blue jays are always numer-
Gus around here in the winter, but
all of them appear to have left for
parts unknown, and even the little
pests, the English sparrows, are here
in comparatively insignificant num-
bers. Can anyone explain this mys-
terious desertion? 1t may be that
they were not able to soar above
the H. G. of L., but if they have
discovered a place where that feat
is more easily possible than here,
let US, by all means, find them out
and follow them thither.
