n nee Upon a time two sparrows
met IN a certain back yard and
~ decided to fight.
They always fight. you say?
Yes. they do. that's true.
But this fight was different because
Fou could see what they were fighting
about-usually you can't.
And IL all happened this way
In a house nearby lived little boy
who was very fond of birds. lie liked
to watch them fly about; he liked 10
watch ih<n eat, and above ally he liked
to watch them make their nests.
Now, one day this little boys
mother read in a paper that the way
TO draw birds 10 ones neighborhood
was TO throw food into the yard for
them
That seemed very sensible idea. for
OF course the birds have 20 eat ana
equally of course u Is very hard to
ind good food in late. cold spring.
The little boy remembered the robins
and the brilliant cardinal who some
times darted through the yard. and he
decided az once 10 do his part toward
feeding these birds. He foraged in his
mothers bread box; found some very
choice crumbs and crusts and threw
them into the center Of the back yard.
Then he sat down 10 wait develop
u7ents.
But, ike many other things one
reads IN the newspapers. the idea
sounded well. but didn't work out quite
as IL properly should.
Not cardinal. not robin, took any
notice Of the feast spread for them.
1he little boy waited in vain.
Finally, when he was quite tired Of
he heard a Whirr of wings
n nearby tree and two little spar
-o1s dzrted down 20 the crumbs.
Wei. that is better. than nothing"
would rather the robin came, but I'm
dad somebody will enjoy il. Now they
sill have beautiful time"

my age. Do you think / will stop
growing now?
(2) l have a gentleman friend who
promised to see me one Sunday even
ing, but he did not come. Do you think
he is true friend TO me?
90 How can show him that / like
him and like his company?
"a just passed the 7th grade. Am
1 considered a lady now?
(5) Is It right for my folks to send
me out in the barn to milk the cows?
(6) Can you tell me how TO keep
from chewing my finger nails? | have
a very handsome hand, but chewing
off my nails spoils the looks OF them.
Your loving friend.
F. J.
ID You may have had your growth,
as far as height is concerned.
(2) He probably didn't mean to
come when he said he would. Better
not think seriously about him.
CD He probably knows it already.
ca My dear, you are just little
girl-and 1 hope you are very sweet,
modest little girl who is trying hard
to grow into a sweet, beautiful lady.
co Make up your mind not to and
you won't. Try putting bitter aloes
on your finger tips. That may help
stop the habit. If it doesn't, tie cloth
around your finger tips. When your
nails have grown cut them in a round
shape, file them smooth with a nail
file and polish them with bit of
chamois skin. If you keep them look
ing nice you'll think twice before spoil
ing them by biting.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I'm a young
lady of 10 years. I'm an orphan and
would like your advice. =

and he seems to feel the same toward
me- He likes to see me wear bright
straw hats, but l can't afford new

me. Shall l accept his proposal?

The men, in proportion to their
population strength, cast the Hghtest

$4,000 who registered last spring
only 1927 have registered for the

However, the total of $50, 292 is the
