Notes
- for Our
Bird Club

A brown thrasher has been visit
ing our yard of late. We have
not discovered where they are
building their nest As they usual
ly make their home and build in
thickets, hedges or thorn bushes
it is sometimes difficult to discov-
er the nest. They have sweet
song and are one of the most
useful and desirable birds that we
have.
White-breasted nuthatches have
been with us all winter, and as
they are still here it is probable
they are building their nests some
where near. The nuthatch gets it's
living from the insects which in
fest the bark of trees, over which
it creeps from daylight to dark.
They do no injury so far as known,
and much good They are about
six inches long, white below, back
and wings blue gray, with black
lhead.
The little black-capped chickadees
are building somewhere near, we
are sure, although we have not
been able to find their nest. but
| they come after the suet which
we put out for them almost every
day.
Downie woodpeckers come after
suet every day, and sometimes sew
eral times day. Occasionally a
hairy woodpecker is seen too,
which is easily known from the
downie because it is so much larg-
er, being about nine inches long.
The downie woodpecker is but
six inches long. Eoth are black
and white, and the males have a
little red patch on the head.
Martins are not plentiful in
this cindty, and we have been
trying to induce them to come by
putting Up house for them. They
alNab S live in colonies, and the
more rooms there are in the
nous prepared for them the bet
ter they seem to like them. Twice
we have seen martins inspecting
the house, but as the sparrows
seemed to think they had a prior
right there, the martins did not
stay.
Our boys and girls seem to be
wide awake. Several have reported
boxes and houses put UP for birds
to nest in, and some have fixed

1t seemed so very strange last

1t seemed so very strange last

The two horses ram with the load

While men ran from all direc-

train had to wait and a hundred
passengers fretted and wondered
what caused the delay.

be understood by man, the little
woods folks came together and had
a big meeting.
1t was very important meeting
for a great question was to be de-
cided.
One of their number was to be
chosen to carry the beautiful East
err eggs to all the good little boyy
and girls in the world.
There We've little chipmunks so
near the color off the brown logs
that they We're hardly visible as
they scurried back and forth.
The squirrels We're there and they
busted themselves while waiting
picking UP acorIs and hiding them
away for winter u.s..
The sleepy possums were there,
too, and the groundlhogs, blinking
in the light.
Field-mice scampered here and
there in high glee, and weasels had
come to the meeting feeling sure
they would be chosen for the honor
Pretty soon newcomer arrived
and they all craned their hecks to
see, but it was only modest lit
tile rabbit who sat down quietly in
their midst.
Then there came through an open
ing in the trees lovely lady dress
ed jul a soft material that looked
Like fleecy cloud around her. She
was leading a little child by the
hand and they came and stood un-
der the oak tree where the little
woods people could see them plainly
When they saw the little boy
they were afraid, but the lady
spoke to them in a gentle voice
and told them that the boy would
not harm them.
You KNOW" she said, WE have
a great question to decide today
me to help me choose who shall
car y the Easter eggs to the good
little boys and girls all over the
world
The child then looked the littl5
woods people over. He thought the
chipmunk too timid, the field
mice were toe small, and the grount
hog could not see to deliver the
eggs safely.
The squirrels Were too busy tt
attend to the work, and the sleepy
poss,um might fall asleep on the wa
No, none of these would do, thai

The weassl Is and ferrets would
eat the eggs before they were de

THAT is the animal l choose,
he cried. The rabbit shall be tn,

And that is how the rabbit cam
to be chosen to carry the beautiful
Easter eggs to the children al

CONTINENTAL ARMY IS
 VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED
Executive Committee of Ma. tional Guard Association
 Attack Proposed Plan.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The contin- ental army was vigorously opposed today before the house military com- mittee by representatives of the ex- ecutive committee of the National Guard association, headed by Af jutant Gen. Foster of Florida. The strongest support of the continental plan, General Foster declared came from those who hoped and believed it would fail and that it's failure would mark a long step toward compulsory military service.
 General Foster charged that there was a propaganda to discredit state troops for federal use and that the public had been given the impression that the guardsmen were seeking a militia pay bill for their own profit. That was not true, he said.
 General Foster said the guardsmen had determined that the state troop system regulated and supervised by the federal government, as they be- lieved congress had full power to direct, would provide a better and more adequate and efficient means of raising and training troops, than the proposed plan.
