Hourly returns this morning indicated
/. that the nation Is pouring out its wealth
in unstinted measure for Liberty Bonds.

'but you must give us plenty of room.
We have to spread our handsome tails

All the other animals agreed and the
parade started. The farmer couldn't
imagine what 1t all meant. The ami
mails were marching around, all max
ing as much noise as they could. That
Is a good deal Of noise, I can assure
you.
Mr.. Rooster led the parade and he

He crowed and crowed. He felt he
was not only leader of the parade but
said that they did not need any outside
band for their parade. They felt that
the noise they would make would be
quite enough. And of course it was.
The only difference was that their
noise was not like music. No, 1t was
very far from being like music. But
the animals didn't know good music
from bad music and their idea Of q
band was a great deal of noise.
They marched around the barnyard
and Mr.. Rooster kept growing the d.
rections.
"Cock-a-doodle-do, this way, this
way" he would call. And all the an
finals followed along. Some of them
did not walk in a very straight line,
but that didn't make much difference.
The Crows still cawed from above
and even the Sparrows Joined in the
noise.
'sThis suits u.s." they said to them
selves. 'These creatures don't mind
III voices at all. They just like noise.
And we can join in a very large chorus
like this. Now, the birds are so fond
Of their own special songs. And they
have such a funny way Of caring about

As a matter Of fact, the Sparrows
were hardly noticed because Of the
noise the other creatures were making.
Pretty soon the farmer came out to
lcok at them. again.
"This must be someone's birthday"
he said. Anyway / think I will have

But / win give them some good seed

So the farmer gathered together
some special goodies and the animals
Immediately rushed from the parade
