father and five babies, and they all
hop in together. 1t is most engaging
sight. For those who care to know
about it, there is a place on Seven
teenth and Cunning streets, where
plain saucer-shaped cement bird baths
may be had in three sizes. This is not
in the nature of an advertisement. but
because | have heard so many people
asking where inexpensive bird baths
could be bought My interest centers
entirely in the wish that the baths and
the birds may get together.
In the big plum tree and in the
baths we have little brown thrashers.
q like the name red mavis better.
Blue birds, cat birds, gold finches,
chipping sparrows, chickadees, wrens,
rose-breasted grosbeaks, humming
birds, blue jays, pigeons and robins,
The English sparrow goes without
saying; Poor little unwelcome visitor
A bird came one day and bathed in my
little bowl bath, which | did not
know at all. From my description
Miles Greenleaf said it was a hermit
thrush, but would never dare put
in print that we had hermit thrush
in our back yard!
The birds like very much a Russian
mulberry tree and they appreciate
any tidbits like bread crusts or pieces
of apple and seeds. Even in the sum-
mer. Alas! / know they like straw
berries and cherries. Those little baby
robins are in the strawberry patch
half the time. They play around like
a family of kittens and will come
within foot or two of us. We hope
eventually to entiee them into taking
a worm from our hands; SO far they
haven't quite dared risk it. It's fully
as hard for us to hold the angle worm
as for the little robin to muster UP
courage to help himself.
Speaking Of cats, we do not poison
them or trap them, but we do get after
them numerically with a good stout
broom whenever they show their
noses. The system seems effective
Cohunkus also lives in our back yard.

The City Back Yard Bird Sanctuary

| think of the new
XAII Fontenelle forest reserve
WI for the protection of the
- birds, and as a home and
IE&3Sdl sanctuary for them, it seems
like kind of bird dream
place; bird heaven; an ideal plan that
has actually and amazingly come true.
The birds that live in this wonderful
place, correspond to the earth folk
whose lines are cast in the pleasantest
spots. They fly through the shady
aisles, and nest in the quiet woods.
Their lives are not disturbed, and
they will be helped in summer with
baths of fresh water, and in winter
feeding stations will doubtless be es-
tablished. The birds whose stars lead
them to this peaceful haven will be the
blest among our feathered friends. 1t
is quite fitting that the dedication of
the reserve on June II should be given
over to the performance of Percy
Mackay's bird masque, in which the
birds for the time become symbolic,
and are endowed with the gift of
speech, and are able to communicate
with us humans in our own language.
| understand that the cardinal is to
make very commemorative speech
written by a poetess of Omaha and
interpreted for this special occasion.
When one contemplates great riches
the thought also comes Of more mod
crate privileges and accommodations.
| would certainly call the Fontenelle
forest reserve bird heaven. Not all
humans, and not all birds reach
heaven. l have in my mind at this
moment the city back yard bird sane
tuary with a modest garden plot and
with few large trees as a working
basis. My own little garden in Omaha
adjoins my neighbors; with the two
yards we have quite a park-like space.
One afternoon we combined forces
and made a cement ground bath in
Miss Ms yard, as she had the most
open and available lawn. In this bath,
which is we'll away from all shrubbery,
we counted fifty birds in two hours,
on hot afternoon. There is a most
fascinating family of robins, mother,

Production and
Price

Do the great variety of Skies and the fluc.
tuating prices seem confusing and perplexing?
Let's reason it out.
What controls price? Production.
AS a manufacturers production increases, his
production cost, per car, decreases.
Therefore the plant with the largest production
is in position to give of everything and charge
less for it.
We are the worlds largest producers of Six and
Four Cylinder Automobiles.
Consequently you get in the Overland Six
larger and more powerful motor-a longer wheel
base-the convenience of electric control buttons on
the steering column and an almost endless list of
other comforts and refinements.
yet what is the price?
Not $1,000 or $1,000 but $1145.
And when it comes to Six Cylinder perform.
ance, remember the Overland Six is the star of
them all.
One ride will convince you.

department store trucks, and it is
cheaper for Pirie and Simpson to go
to the dinner than stay away.
Julius Rosenwald also is named on
the committee in charge" The only
mystery is: Why was Morris Rosen-
wald of Rosenwald & We'll left off,
and why were the Kuppenheimer
brothers, Jonas and Louis, not includ-
ed? The chief gave them about all
they wanted in the garment strike.
Fred Upham is on, too. He's head
of the Consumers company and the
hundred of big, yellow, smashing
trucks hauling coal over the streets
look better without tenders to him.
