his voice was more harsh and I'M

this snow is covering you now! II
YOU should leave those eggs for a

should have had place that was

Sammy Jay Accuses Mrs. Jay

To accuse a person is to say that
they have done a certain thing. If
you know of wrong act of some
kind and you say that a certain per-
son did it you accuse that person.
Perhaps they did do it. and perhaps
they did not do it. In this story
am going to tell you how Sammy Jay
accused Mrs. Jay of something.
You remember that Mrs. Jay and
Sammy had been quarreling to such
an extent that their neighbors had
hurried over to the certain part of
the Green Forest where the Jays
lived and there had hidden that they
might hear what was going on. 1t
seems that Sammy and Mrs. Jay had
not been wholly happy for some time.
Just what the trouble had been no
ono had been able to find out until
ticular morning there had been a be-
lated snow storm. In fact. it was
still showing. From what could be
overheard of the quarrel it appeared
that this snow was proof enough to
Sammy Jay that he had been right all
along and Mrs. Jay quite wrong.
Il told you when you began to build
that nest that it was altogether too
early in the season." cried Sammy in
his harshest voice. But you would
do 1t in spite of all I could do or say
] told you it was too early to have
eggs. but here we are with four of
them. and everything covered with
snow"
DO have a little sense. Sammy
Jay" snapped Mrs. Jay. "You know
well enough that this snow isn't 60
ing to last BY noon it will have
melted. and as long as I keep these
eggs covered they are not going to
como to a bit of harm. It is not a
bit too early to be nesting now. Last
year we were late and I was nearly
worn to a frazzle feeding those

STOP POLLUTION or WATER
Measure viii Force Cities on Lake
Michigan to Spend Millions for
Erection of Sewage Dis
posaI Plants.

Milwaukee, Nov. 5.--Wisconsin cities
on Lake Michigan and on rivers emp
tying into the lake will be compelled
to spend millions of dollars within. the
next few years for the erection of
sewage disposal plants. This was
forecast by city officials when it be-
came known that bill has been draft
ed for presentation to the 1919 legis-
iature under which further pollution
Of the lake waters will be enjoined.
The bill is said to be one of the most
drastic ever presented to the legisla-
ture. Not only will lake cities be pre-
vented from discharging their sewage
into the lake, but smaller cities and
villages situated on small lakes and
rivers emptying into the. lake will be
compelled to establish sewage disposal
systems. Hundreds of manufacturing
plants that in the past have discharged
their sewage into the lake or rivers
will be compelled to build septic tanks
or other sewage disposal work. The
reason given for the introduction Of
this bill is that the city of Milwaukee,
after spending more than $10,000,000
to construct a sewage disposal plant,
will not receive pure water because
other cities along the entire lake shore
might still be polluting the waters OF
the lake.
