field sparrows sing alike. The song
is the 5weetes; imaginable, having
plaintive tone wonderfully clear.
The vespeP sparrow nests on the
ground In fields-a very foolish habit

is a busy bird and makes her song

in the pouring out Of her heart.

tiers and sings just as readily in crowd
ed cities as in the country. He has
gained such headway in this country
that We can't get rid OF him. He
doesn't mind cold or any other hard
ship. Sparrows we're first imported
into Brooklyn in 1851 to rid the shade
trees Of inch worms. Everybody fed
them and liked them then.
The chipping sparrow is a cunning
bird and she once made a nest Of
hairs in a corner OF a veranda. Here
one could look into her home and

tending to other bird folks business.
Mes. Chipping Sparrow brooded Tar

row occasionally brought a fine cab
bage worm TO her for lunch. He
minded not the house screen door

You could even stroke Mrs. Sparrow.
She is the tamest bird we have. When
the little chippies came they were
very small and dear and when they
began to take flying lessons, they
perched on the Veranda chairs as q
good starting place.

BREED THEATRE.
The EagIe's Eye, Chief FIynn's Alien Spy Expose, to Be Shown Monday and Tuesday.

Chief Flynn, whose reputation as director of the operations of the Unit ed States secret service is information al. makes a remarkable exposure of dipiomatic secrets in relation to inn perial German spy activities in this country in the new serial photodrama, production of The Whartone.
 Startling facts are interwoven in a vehicle of thrilling fiction, revealing for the first time the great perils this nation has escaped and the dangers which now menace it through alien spies operating, in this country.
 The motive impelling Chief Flynn to present his story in photodramatic form is the desire to impress the pub
 lie mind with the actual seriousness of the present world war and the pub- lie peril which exists in the continued
 activities in this country Of the vast
 secret spy system the kaiser estab-
 Iished here and which this government IS combating.
 Such a thorough practical knowledge of its workings and notifications as
 this serial discloses will, it is believed create a public vigilance which will sprove most helpful to this government In these times every man should know his neighbor and report to the proper authority any incident which ! he believes should receive official at. Ftentfon.
 The Eagles Eye is booked at tn,
 Breed theatre and the first episode [ called The Hidden Hand, will be pre-. isented next Monday and Tuesday.
