Ardmore is striving TO reach 10000

BIRD TALES

The missel thrush and blackbird sing
while flying, but only very rarely.
Eagles go to sleep just about the time
their neighbors, the owls, are waking
up.
The cuckoo is a fine bird which sings
as It flies, especially when pursued by
angry little birds whose nest 1t has at.
tempted to invade.
The mound bird of Australia makes
large mound, sometimes $50 feet in cir
cumference, and its eggs are deposited
in 1t at a depth Of five or six feet.
Quails, part of the food Of the children
Of Israel when in the wilderness, are
still numerous in Egypt, and during
their yearly migrations descend in
swarms.
From ancient times the eagle, as the
king of birds, has been looked upon as
the king of birds, has been looked upon
as the symbol Of power. The American
eagle is the native bald eagle, and was
first adopted on the seal of the United
States on June 20, 1882.
During the nesting season the blue
bird may be found in the United States
(west Of Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming
and Montana), southern Canada, Mex
leo and Guatemala; in the winter in the
southern half Of the eastern United
States and south to Guatemala.

Below the sector of the German re-

great offensive which resulted in the
dominating Ladies' road" falling into
their hands, besides important posi-

the first two days totalled 1900. On
May 6. along the Aisne, they took 6,1OO
captives and gained points from which
they looked down on the foe, as the
British did farther north.
1t should be noted here, however,
that the French losses were severe,
resulting in the replacement of Nlvelle

On August 8. 1915. the Italians
stormed the stubbornly defended Co.

taking about 10000 prisoners. and
they followed this success the next
day by selling the city of Gorilla and
increasing the number of their cap

Then the Russians, having put their
