GREET The BIRDS.

This is the best time Of the year to
put out bird houses. Some of the little
wild songsters are already with us and
more are coming daily. About the first
thing they will look for after their re-
turn from the southland is nesting
place. They are little shy of some
thing that is brand new. so a house
that is put out now and allowed to
weather for few weeks is much more
likely to get an occupant than Is one
that is put out, new and clean, several
weeks hence.
The move to encourage the public in
putting out bird houses is worthy
ore. There are both sentimental and
material reasons why the birds should
be protected and aided to increase
their numbers. Their songs and their
own beautiful selves make any efforts
in their behalf worth while. On top Of
that the constant war they wage
against injurious or pestiferous in
sects is worth much to their human
friends.
Get busy now and put out bird
house Draw the songbirds to your
home. Help make Ottumwa city
where birds are we'll treated. 1t will
be good thing for the community.

mere presence of German submarine
is declared ground for assuming hos.

American armed ship commanders is
uncertain at present.
