wing.
He was not badly hurt, but he need
ed to be kept quiet and he had been
very much frightened. In fact, he did
not get over his fright right off.
He could be heard crying and CIV
ing frightened little sounds when his
mother left him for too long time.
But the mother only left him when she
hunted for good worms. Back to the
nest she would take them, and there
would be happy sounds from within.
"Chirp, chirp," said the mother rob-
in. "Get well, get well. The sun is
out, the summer is here. We must
fly and sing and be of good cheer.''
And she sang this with lovely trill
at the end of her song.
Soon the little bird was all well
again, and he could be seen hopping
about On the soft green lawn with his
mother. His little sisters and brothers
had all grown very much larger than
he, for they had been strong from the
VERY start, and he had been rather
frail.
81 Think" said one Of his little
brothers, "that we should give party
for Baby Robin" They always called
him Baby Robin, and Baby Brother,
for he was their little pet.
sit would be a fine idea," they all
said. And Baby Robin was SO pleased.
There were great preparations in the
robin world before the party. The
robins kept hurrying across the lawn,
showing each other all they had
found. They got many wonderful
worms, and they picked up some deli
cious crumbs. Oh, it was going to be
a real party! And they knew it would
make Baby Robin very happy, for he
had had such a hard time.
AT last the party was ready.
"Chirp, chirp, come, come" called
the robins.
They led Baby Robin in the center
of the procession while the others
hoped around him and marched along
in their little hurried steps singing:
You FELL you fell,
But you got all we'll.
< And now you're here,
To join in our cheer.
~ And we're happy indeed,
We have you to feed,
Our dear Baby Brother,
And our kind Robin Mother.
There was great happiness in Bird
land that day, and not only the robins
but the other birds joined the process
sion and sang songs.
There were solos and big choruses,
and all the time Baby Robin kept
lchirping and singing his thanks.
And then began the feast! Such
good feast as there was! But so many
had come to the party that the robins
who had arranged the festivities were
greatly afraid that there would not be
enough. And that would be such
disgrace to the Robins of Birdland. To
think of giving a party and of get
ting out of food!

CROPS IN WEST NOW
SHOW MUCH BETTER
Weather During Last Week
Very Favorable to Growth;
Extremely Cold in East.

WASHINGTON, May 16. - More
seasonable weather conditions during
the week just ended caused crops to
make excellent progress in the west
ern half of the country, but In east
ern districts extreme cold was decid-
edly unfavorable.
The national weather and crop bull
letin today said cotton and corn and
some garden truck were not only re-
tarded, but considerably damaged by
the continued cold weather. The week
was more favorable for farm work,
however, and good progress was made
in all sections. There are many re-
ports of increased acreage OF food
crops, altho the necessity of replant-
ing and the lack Of labor Will reduce
the intended increase somewhat.
Winter wheat generally is making
good growth except in oklahoma.
Corn is being planted on much of the
abandoned winter wheat acreage IN
Nebraska. Spring wheat is making
excellent growth In the southern and
central states of the belt and on the
Pacific coast. Cool weather in cen
tral and eastern districts was unfav.
orable for corn and in places much
will need to be replanted.
In the southern states cotton was
unfavorably affected and corn made
slow growth.
There are many reports Of increased
acreage for potatoes.

ARB0N TO

Young Tulsa Oil Man, Captain
in British Flying Corps,
May Stay Here.
TELEGRAM IN HIS BEHALF
Prominent Citizens Urge Ap-
pointment as Instructor in
American Army.

Paul Arbon, young Tulsa oil man,
who has served with such distinction
in the Royal Flying corps of Great
Britain since the war started that he
has been advanced TO a captaincy, is
to become an instructor in the United
States army.
Forty of the most prominent and
influential men of Tulsa. headed by
E. w. Sinclair, president of ;he En-
change National bank. yesterday tele-
graphed to Brigadier General George
o. Squire, chief signal officer of the
army, asking that Arhon he given an
appointment in the United States army
aero service.
Word received last night from Omer
K. Benedict, Worlds correspondent at
Washington, Indicated that the tele-
gram had been favorably received and
that Arbon would be given an import
ant commission at any moment now.
Arbon recently visited Tulsa on "A
furlough, and it was while he was
here that some of his friends brought
up the question OF him serving the
United States.
His experience in Europe will make
him a valuable man for the signal
corps in this country and Brigadier
General Squire is said to have ex-
pressed delight at the opportunity of
securing Arbons scS> ices.
Arbon is thot to be in Washington
now. on account of the valiant serv-
ice he has already rendered his native
country and the fact that England is
anxious to aid the United States in
building up her airplane forces, he
probably Will experience no difficulty
in procuring his release from the Roy
al Flying corps.

But You Can't Rely On
Sprays and InhalerS

There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per-
haps, like thousands of Others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that
you are doomed to spend the
remainder of your days hawk
ing and splitting, with no relief
in sight from inflamed and
stopped-up air passages that
make the days miserable and
the nights sleepless.
Of course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old
time, make-shift methods of
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial re-
suits. If you are still content
to depend upon the use OF
sprays, douches, inhalers, jel-
lies and other like remedies by
themselves, that are applied to
the surface and cannot reach
below it, then make up your
mind now that your Catarrh
will remain a life companion
and will follow you to the
grave.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not its symp-
toms, is what you have to cure
Of course you know that when
you are cured of any disease its
symptoms will disappear. Ca
tarrh manifests itself by in
flammation of the delicate
membranes of the nose and air
passages, which choke up and
make breathing very difficult
To get rid of these distressing
effects you must remove their
cause.

ment Under the direction OF

hesitatingly recommend this great
remedy to everyone afflicted with
Catarrh."
The experience of Mrs. Wes-
serman was like that of thou
sands of others who have tried
local remedies in vain. She
claims that she was finally
cured by S. S. S. because she
realized that Catarrh is a blood
disease, and the only sensible
treatment is through the blood.
The blood is laden with the Ca
tarrh germs, which direct their
attack against the tender and
delicate membranes of the nose
and throat. These germs can
not be reached by sprays or
douches, which, of course, have
no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is a purely vegetable
blood remedy, made from roots
and herbs direct from the for
est, which combat promptly
any disease germs or impuri-
ties in the blood. This great
remedy has been used for more
than fifty years, with most sat
isfactory results. 1t has been
successfully used by those af-
flicted with even the severest
cases of Catarrh, because it
drives out from the blood the
Catarrh germs, and eliminates
every foreign substance from
the blood. S. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
For the benefit of those af-
flicted with Catarrh or other
blood diseases, we maintIin a

diseases. If you will write us

The council of national defense, its

government shipping board We're spc-

President Wilson himself was sharply
criticized. The council was charged
with usurpation of authority and with
unlawfully dclegating power to the ad-

board was assailcd for alleged inter
ference with private shipbuilders and
for insisting upon its wooden ship
program. The president was at
tackled for alleged lack of co-opera-
tion and consultation with congress.
The upshot of the entire discussion
was adoption of an amendment by
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
