10 mind incidents of the ring from
The days of early California history,
when Tom Hyer and Yankee Sui

world. Hyer was the victor. In the

near Buffalo. feenan was declared
defeated. although it was believed he
was the more powerful of the two.

Ben and the Birds.

AS Ben passed through the orchard
into the wood lot there was a great
twittering in the branches of the
trees. At first he could not under
stand why the birds were making so
much noise. He noticed it seemed to
follow him out into the pasture and
to the wood lot. Ben was fond of the
birds and they had come to know he
would not hurt them. They became
very friendly and would flutter around
him as he drew from his pocket some
pieces of bread which he broke into
crumbs and fed to them.
Finally a robin flew down from a
tree and perched itself on his knee.
Cooking it's head on one side it looked
into Ben's face with its bright eyes
and its twittering took the form of
words.
"You must have a good mother, to
be such a kind hearted boy. Now we
birds can talk to you where grown
ups would not listen to US. Speaking
for the robins l will say it is true we
occasionally like a nice ripe cherry,
but we feel that it is due us from the
farmers for we use as our food bugs
and worms that destroy hundred
times as much as we do. If the farm
ers really knew what we song birds
did for them, they would plant trees
and keep them for us alone. Come
with me and l will show you.
Ben followed his hopping guide into
the orchard, birds were darling here
and there a robin flew down from a
fruit tree with great caterpillar, a
sort of worm in its mouth, twittered
to Ben then flew off to nest near by
where he fed it to the little robins
which opened their beaks for the bird
dainty. They went to another tree
the leaves of which were curling.

Underneath the leaves were worms

eve let that tree alone so you could
see it," said the robin, "but will now
clean it up. There are other birds
besides robins which help us clean up
destroying bugs and worms and we
work all summer just as hard as we
can. You see the worms and bugs are
our food. With a loud whistle the
robin flew into the tree upon which
there were so many worms. In
minute a flock of birds were busy get
ting their dinners and the dinners for
the little ones in the nests.
AS he turned to go home he was
stopped by a quail which said Bob 7
White" meaning how do you do.
"Come with me said the quail and [
will show how busy we are. They
went into a corn field and there was
great scurrying around of light
little feet as the busy birds picked up
the birds and the worms which, if
let alone, would increase so fast in
number that there would be no crops.
"Now," said the quail as they
reached the pasture bars, "you have
seen some of the good we do to the
men who in return hunt us with their
guns. When you grow up you can
say good word for the birds. You
know you and other children growing
up will be the men of the future. The
kindly spirit that will look after the
birds will help to preserve the peace
of the nation; help to make the world
better in all ways.
Mama" said Ben when he reached
home. when grow up l will never
hunt birds with gun" He then told
her what the robin and the quail had
said to him.
"They were right, little man." re-
piled his mother and | am glad. you
learned the lesson"

Rocky mountain region they will be
high in connection with the low bar
ometer that is expected to appear at
the first of the week. This cold area
may hinder the progress of the storm
upon the Pacific coast until about
Tuesday or Wednesday, the 9th OF
9th.
About these dates storms of wind,
rain and hail will appear in the west
and spread eastward during the next
three or four days. Tornadoes are
probable in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri
and parts of the Lake region and Ohio
valley. Cooler weather will follow
this disturbance reaching the Lake re-
gion about Friday the 18th, the bar
ometer coming back to more normal
readings.
AS the week closes cold rains will
be making themselves felt upon the
western coast of the United States.

veterans to whom we have looked for
leadership in arranging and carrying
out these programs are finding it in
creasingly difficult on account of rap
idly decreasing numbers and advanc
ing years to assume this responsible
ity. Our regard and affection for
these veterans, our local pride in me-
mortal Day observance and the OPP
portunity to unite in community effort
are all very good reasons why the
Grange should get in behind this
worthy movement wherever possible.
Cooper Grange, No. 1905, Of Kali
amazoo county, is to dedicate its
newly purchased Grange hall on We'd
nesday, May IL. E. F. Stoddard, the
lecturer of Cooper Grange, writes that
his Grange has had fine winter and
that the Grange interest was never
better than at present. In addition
to attractive programs good progress
has been made in adding members.
Mr.. Stoddard as lecturer and Carl
DeLano as master are planning great
future for this strong organization.
Mrs. w. j. Hoffmaster, lecturer of
Allegan Pomona Grange, has been ar
ranging debates upon popular ques-
tions of the day as feature of her
programs. Three debators are chosen
upon each side, each speaker is linn
tied to five minutes and the leaders
are given five minutes each for re-
buttal, taking forty minutes in all for
the debate. "Woman Suffrage" was
the question at the last meeting. The
affirmative was led by Mrs. Jane Esta-
brook of Allegan and the negative by
Ed. Lyman Of East Casco. The de-
bate was instructive, in good spirit
and was greatly enjoyed by the large
crowd present.

season at profit to the young poul-
tryman.
The starting may be done by the
purchasing of stock, mated and ready
for the seasons work. The price you
will pay will determine how good a
start you will make. Day old chicks
may be purchased and brooded and
grown to maturity, then the breeding
pen selected from them. The latter
is cheapest but you will not realize
the first season, except for the sale
of a few cockerels which should pay
for the feed.
Having decided how you will start
and the breed, it is well to keep in
mind the cost of every transaction OF

of every transaction.
