Notes
- for Our
Bird Cub

mere seems TO tie Wide spread
enthusiasm in bird conservation
this spring. The children of many
towns and cities are making bird
houses, and in some cases putting
them up on the school grounds
They are also placing them ON their
own premises and on public grounds
wherever they find suitable places.
s.
The Des Moines Capital las
bird house contest on, in which it
gives prizes for the best and hand
soonest bird houses made by school
children under sixteen years old.
ALL the houses made are to be e.
rected or hung in the city for the
comfort and convenience of its
bird visitors.
Within year from the time
when the Ford farm was set aside
for the birds more than five hun
dred bird houses were put up for
nesting places for them. There
were many hundreds of nests in
the dense brush and trees also,
and many birds built their nests
on the ground.
When the birds return to Coun-
Gil Bluffs this spring they will
find comfortable homes awaiting
them. The boys in the manuel
training classes have built MANY
clever homes for the little song
steers, and Bayless park trees have
been provided with liberal sup
ply. Houses have been placed up
in the school yards also and the
pupils of the various schools are
now anxiously waiting for the
birds to come and take posses
sion of their homes.
Orchards are fine places for
bird houses. They should be hung
where they will be hidden by over
hanging branches
Houses for martins should be on
top of poles away from trees, and
should have at least four rooms,
for martins always Live in colonies.
The poles should be from 10 to 20
feet high. Martins will not build
If bothered by English sparrows.

Baby Blue-eyes.

Baby, with the bright blue eyes,
Bluer far than April skies,
Tell me where your fancy goes.
Down the winding stream that
By the golden Slumber strands
In the realms of By-lowILands.
Baby, with the bright blue eyes
You are dreaming, surmise.
Dreams that only babies dream
ALL adown the slumber stream,
While rock and sing to you,
Baby, with your eyes of blue.
Baby, with your bright blue eyes
ALL the blue of summer skies,
All the whispering winds that blow
Through the valleys where you go,
Could not steal my love for you,
Baby, with the eyes of blue.

Oh, what fun the raindrops have
This delightful weather,
Playing with the sunshine
At hide and seek together;

In the daffodilly' s breast;

When the sunbeams find theil
nest.

Arbutus The Sweetest Spring
Flowers
Little Ted came running into the
house one warm spring day with
MS hands full of the prettiest
pink and white flowers.
See, mother, see what pretty
flowers" he cried. What kind are
they?"
Where did you find them?" ask
ed his mother.
Over the hill in the wood" said
Ted. What are they, mother? They
are so sweet"
Then Ted's mother told him the
old legend about the old, old man
who lived in the North country,
and l will tell it to you.
Once on a time this old man liy-
ed in hut built of the branches
OF fir trees. 1t was always very
cold in his hut, and when he
walked abroad the wind would
blow and the snow fall and all
the leaves on the trees would die
and fall to the ground.

One day when the old man had

blue as the summer sky.

HAWAIIAN NIGHT AT SAN CARLOS
BRILLIANT SOCIAL FUNCTION

Hawaiian night at the San Carlos
hotel was a wonderful success, and
there seems every likelihood that the
management will be asked to repeat
it again at very early date.
A wonderfully beautiful tropical
setting had been achieved, through
the work of Mr.. Joseph Norton. whose
artistic talents have served to make
the interior of the San Carlos one of
the most beautiful in the south. Each
column of the main cafe had been
painted to represent tropical forest,
the palms not only having been paint
ed with a master hand, but the art OF
the decorator having achieved most
realistic effect, the branches of the
miniature trees swaying with the
rhythm of the music.
The lights shaded in many colors,
the glow of the crimson Christmas
flower of the tropics, the pointsettia,
and hundreds of crimson, pink and
white carnations, lent their beauty and
fragrance to the scene, and graceful
bamboo and other tropical vines add
ed to the artistic effect of the set
ting.

REPORT GENERAL CONVENTION
UNITED DAC 0HTERS CONFEDERACY

The following excerpts from the
report of the president of the Flor
ida division, U. d. c., Mrs. H. H.
McCreary, will be of interest to
members of the U. D. c. and others
interested in the work of the organi-
zation: -
The chairman reported 500 dele
gates and many visitors in conven-
ton. The presiding general said
many of her objects remain un-
achieved and we are confronted with
serious problems that will require
our most unselfsh efforts to solve.
She said for twelve months she had
devoted two-thirds of her time by
day to the work, and regretted that
she could not give the other third,
the work was so important. She said
she had met every situation square
ly, without reference to questions of
policy or convenience, and asked the
convention to do the same. Unless
problems are met in this manner, she
said, they can not be settled, but will
continue to intrude themselves from
time to time until they are so met
and disposed Of Mrs. Odenheimer
said the Daughters of the Confeder-
acy had become better and more
widely known during the past year,
and that was matter of pride, and
it developed upon every individual
member to live up to the best for
which we stand She said, ''Remem-
Der we are a nationwide organiza-
ton, with members in every state,
and it should be our aim to aspire to
the highest standard conceivable"

May, by a two-thirds vote Of the
chapters represented in convention,
the state president was requested to

ter, the reason given being violation
of the division constitution This was
done, the president general ruling
that the Florida division was abso-
lutely correct, and ordered the char

Harper represented this chapter in
Dallas, and appealed to the general
executive board to return their char
ter, claiming that seven members
could hold charter if in good stand
ing, and as they had rendered their
dues on this number, and it had been
refused by the division treasurer,
they were entitled to their charter
The general executive board decided
they were right, and that any chap

dues on seven members into the gen.

what constitutes the school idea IN

splendid lecture was enthusiastically
received. Mr.. Turner has for the
past eight years served as secretary
of the Florida Educational Associa-
