Tropical Birds and Animals at Zoe
Seek Inside Quarters.

Winter quarters for the animals and
birds at the Zoo are being placed in
readiness. Some Of the 800 "inhabi-
tants" long ago sought the warmer
quarters on the inside of the buildings.
The animals and birds from the hot
climates early in the fall seek the
warmer quarters, while those of the
cooler regions do not go indoors until
the frost comes. OF course, the polar
bears do not mind the cold, and other
animals also enjoy romping about in
the open during the winter months.

SCHOOL PUPILS TOPIC
IS PAPER CAMPAIGN
Making Comparisons of Accumula-
ton Efforts for Benefit Of
Fairgrounds.

With the opening of the public schools
who have been collecting old papers for
the last week or SO had a chance to
compare notes as to progress made.
At recess time and even before school
opened-today is the one day in the
year when every one gets to school
ahead of time, you know-young heads
got together and discussed the pros
poets of raising large sum of money
for their Fairgrounds.
Undoubtedly, these little informal con-
ferences will prove an incentive to the
children to work even harder. OF
course, they were not exactly along the
lines of a meeting of the board OF d.
mercial institutions, but nevertheless
they are going to bring about results.
One Informal Conference.
Here is a typical conversation:
"Hullo, Jimmie. Say, been savin' old
papers?'
Bout 500 pounds" statement be-
lieved to be slightly exaggerated.)
We'll. got bout 500 pounds" (This,
too, Is g. utLle StretCneO, II Us 1edIeu.J
Enter third collector.
Say, I've got whacking big. stack
home. Wonder what we can get for our
grounds with all we three've got?"
"I hope we get foot ball."
Sure, an volley ball, too. Man,
that's fun"
So on, ad infinitum. or at least until
the school bell rang for them to settle
down to books.
Girls' Ideas Different
The girls talked 1t over, too. today,
but their inclinations are more toward
tennis and tether ball outfits. But there
is ample opportunity for all. Every
school has fine chance; 1t is not a
question of defeating some other school
but to accomplish certain results with
in each school.
These results will begin to take
definite shape within the near future.
Then the youngsters will have a more
tangible reason for working harder and
taking care not to let single paper
escape.
