the II islands Of the Micronesian group

sionaries there was for time impossi-
Bile, but now it is carried on through
the japanese government The story of
the work begun in the islands by Hiram

and conservation. Seldom is tine oppor-
tunity presented to hear ut first hand

The first time | remember of ever
hearing dove was out in the wood
back of the hospital one day when
we were gathering violets, and I
thought | never had heard anything
SO quaint and sweet and wistful
in all my life as that soft, low COO
ing from out of the heart of those
little woods But the dove itself
is the most awkward, ungainly,
clumsy looking bird in this part of
the country. A little head perched
on the top of a long thin neck, and
its fat, bullying body with a long
stringy tail hanging down behind.
makes up anything but grace. And
the poor little thing is just about
as unhandy with everything 1t tries
to do. Instead of walking it sort
of waddles, and when it tries to fly
it thrashes around and makes about
as much noise as an old time two
cylinder automobile trying to go
up hill; but the worst of all that
this poor bird does is trying to
build nest, for the way the sticks
are just thrown together with a few
struggling blades of grass scattered
around on top is pitiful to see.
Often times the eggs just fall
through, or slight wind blows
the whole thing away.
And yet in spite of the dove be
ing such a poor housekeeper, and so
homely generally, every one likes
the bird, and it does lots of good
by eating weed seeds along the
country roads; and that way keep
ing them from spreading into the
fields. So watch for these birds and
get acquainted with them, for they
are worth knowing.

Cradle Roll Day
Proves Interesting

Cradle Roll day at the North End
Mission last Sunday was more than
interesting. There was quite a
good number there and the exer-
Cises were very nice, but the babies
held the center of attraction. 1t
was considered an event by all
those little tots who never had
been to Sunday schools before, and
little Laura Kindley, who was all
dressed up in a sweet white dress
with pink ribbons, was so offended
when Roy Walker wanted to show
his affection just before she started
that she cried out, ooh, don't get
my dress dirty"
During the service Mrs. Otte
Sprong gave a very interesting &C
count of the cradle roll in another
church, but she had no more than
finished, than one of the tiny little
girls grew anxious to go home and
called at the top of her voice:
"Oh, mammal"
But one of the greatest events in
the whole morning was when little
Lucy and Lucille Chaflin were
brought in. Mr.. Propst was giving
fine talk about a little boy named
Willpeper, but everybody was so
interested in these little baby twins
who were just born the first of
August, that Mr.. Propst had to
ask them to come up in front SO
that all could see them.
They all had such a good time,
that they wish every Sunday were
Cradle Roll day.

Birds AreGiven
More Protection

1t is interesting to know that our
great senators not only make laws
for us but also to protect the little
animals that live in our country
Lately they signed a treaty in con-
nection with a Federal law for pro-
tecting the travelling birds that
just pass through here on their way
to and from their summer homes,
and this is what the treaty says:
/. That no birds important to
agriculture because of destroying
insects shall be shot at any time.
2. That no open season on any
species of game birds shall extend
for longer period than three and
one-half months.
8. That both countries Omitted
States and Canada) shall so re-
strict open seasons on game birds
as to prevent their being taken
during the breeding season.
The greatest credit for this treaty
is due to George p. Mclean of Con.
necticut, but others who also as
sisted in the work were Elihu
Root, of New York, Henry Ford of
Detroit, and DR.. Edward II. For.
bush of Massachusetts.
Later on they will try to have
conventions with other countries,
mostly in South America and the
West Indies.

A few weeks later Mary, Margar

going to the theatre the next day
And the next day Margaret took
sick. And of course this was the
day that they were going to the
opera.
They sent word to Miss Smith
that Margaret was sick so Miss
Smith came over, and she said she
was going to stay there until Mar.
garet got well again. A week had
hardly passed and Margaret was
just getting along fine. That after
noon Richard came and stayed a
long time, and when it was time
for him to go to work he said,
II will be back tonight"
"You better come back. What
time will you be here?"
Just as soon as get off work"
"All right, goodbye"
That night Richard came and they
had tea, and then Richard went
home. One day Miss Smith and
Margaret were all alone and they
sat by the fire side.

Yes, indeed. They have one

please explain what time and a half
over time means? We have noticed
il SO often in connection in connec-

That means when the men are

half as much again for extra work.

so cents an hour, he would get IS
cents for each hour over time. Ed.
Editor Query Corner: What
makes some people left handed in
stead of righthanded? F. r. E.
1t is because the right half of
their brain, which controls the left
side of the body, is stronger and

of the brain is the more active, but
a few brains are equally balanced

You Poor, Dear School Children:
And so vacation is over! All

Are you glad? Think of all the

somebody near you that you don't
like, and the steady routine Of
spelling and arithmetic, and all the
rest-and then think of the roads
stretching out through the coun-
