THE MAN WHO TALKS

Who can realize what is: to be when peace comes, when these great flying engines of. war are turned to the uses of trade and travel? It is a great feat
 tu make a tris around the world in forty days now. and to travel forty leagues under the sea; but the next
 half century is likely to see ships or the air cross the Atlantic in twenty four hours by making the speed the latest Italian airplanes have developed
 ard flying around the world in as many
 Gays; and the ,undersea boats engaged
 in hunting the depths for treasures, or
 for a greater knowledge of fish and heir habits. It is not too much to expect plea sure yachts which may dive
 to be free from the violence of storm
 or of automobiles that may rise and fly
 boats rise today from the surface of
 the water. Fifty years from now in
 the glance backward this will appear
 to have been a very slow world in our day. t ...-... F.; f The first chic a dee greeted us on
 the eve of Oct. 20th, and the songless
 junco, or snow bird. came two days Ia downy woodpecker came and hunt
 ed in the pear tree and a nuthatch
 worked bungiingly at the sunf1ower pods to increase his daily, rations. l roticed a group of three English spar
 rows assafling the caterpiIlars' nests upon the 'crab-apple tree, hunting for the worms and taking the webs away tc keep their winter nests warm. These English sparrows have also been seen feeding upon the larvae of the elm
 beetle. They may appear to be pests
 iii the pea and berry patch, but they certainly take a hand once in a while killing injurious insects. The white7 throated sparrows have flown to wilder regions, but the bluejays stay with us, and the sparrows, snowbirds, gold, flnches, starlings, and a few other hirds. will remain in the garden all winter.
 There is quite a difference between dictating peace and suing for peace. There is a difference between peace by agreement and peace by. comPulsion. There can be no satisfactory peace from conditions which make com promise necessary The peace the cen- u al powers of Europe are inviting the entente to is an acknowledgement of their own defeat. The entente have no white feathers to exhibit, but they have an alI-worid cause to carry to triumphant issue. H. E. Wells is right when he says: My own belief is that if both sides were to do their utmost we and our allies could ultimately put up ten fighters to the German one, and each of ours a better man than he." The triumph of right must be accom- -s plished The nope for peace is strong in all our hearts. and 1t should grace our prayer AS Hall 1aIhe p0tHtS Out. Tt we bring this war to good end- ing nowa we will be, more free forty years on than men have ever been since the world began. First, they will be free from the tyranny of the mili- tary man-the man who is brought up and trained and fed and paid, like a hangman, expressly to kill other men. rot in self defense, but for what he calls the development of his country, which is another way of saying what CT tn Your money or your life"

 Did you ever carefully examine the en-house after the birds have flown? {? Our wrens had 3 spacious house in 1917, room 6xS inches, which was nearly twice. as large as is required, for wrens have been known to nest in an old tomato can. It proved to be furnished with a thousand twigs; and how much more work they had to do because of it's size to furnish it. The nest was in the rear of the box where the most supple twigs and tough grasses formed a cup shaped nest which was partially lined with white feath- CTS, and pushed down below the sur face of the nest was 8 tiny flesh -col- ored egg fecked finely with reddish | brown, which had failed to hatch. And placed in among the mass of twigs 1 were. coarse grasses, horse-hairs, curly rootlets and the silken cocoons of spi- ders which served to make the twig- mass sprinSy and RoiSeless when walked over. And living. in the box striped back, hunting. spider that spins l no web. but comes out and hunts it's | prey. The wren seems to be a friend l to it.. not an enemy. And this work | was all done in the dark and well done !
 A bright English clergyman has ventured to assert that I've are all 1 bound in the bundle of life together | for better, for worse" We. cannot 1 get rid of the evil influences which l surround us, or of our part of the ! fof the nlassed action f of those with whom live and act. The laws of nature do not recognize l the independence We arrogate to our | r-dependenee to which we are sub l iect, and in which. we must abide. ] Life is. largely. company affair, for l he individual of himself cannot guar 1 antee any rights or protection for | himself or his family Organization | was not a creation of man but an i'm ltation. of nature. for the wasps and 1 -he bees and the ants and many plants were demonstrating the value l ,f organization for comfort. and pro. l .ection long before man was sintel1i- | gent enough to comprehend the ad- | antage or worth oft.
