It. The cold weakens them. and food
is hard to get. just when they need II
most. A prolonged spell of cold
weather may starve or freeze great
numbers OF them.
Let nc one say that this cannot be
helped that no food can be spared
for the birds, when so many millions
Of men, women and children are starv-
ing in Europe and when the cost of
food makes It hard enough to feed our
own people. II is not q sound argu-
ment. Feeding birds is not senti.
mentality. and It Is not charity. Any
person who objects to saving their
lives Just because they are birds, and
he loves them, may do so for sound
business reasons.
The federal department of agricul.
ture is issuing bulletins urging peo.
pie to do this, particularly in the
northern states where there is heavy
snowfall. The department experts ex.
plain that it is q question of casting
bread upon the waters--of throwing
away little food to save much. The
birds kept from starvation will amply
pay for their winter handouts next
summer. by destroying millions of in
sects that would otherwise destroy
the crops. These brave creatures that
brighten our dull winters are the best
allies Of the farmer and gardener.
Give them chance. Play fair with
them.

Chain Letters on
Stamps Not Illegal,

The chain letters widely circulated
in recent months to promote the distri-
button and sale OF war savings stamps
is not illegal. the national war savings
committee ut Washington has held. The
circulation OF the letters has been left
to the discretion of the state commit
tees and In Iowa the circulation of the
letters has been left to the discretion
OF those who receive them.
Because ordinary chain letters are
held to be illegal. and are barred from
the mails, many inquiries have been
addressed to Homer A. Miller. OF Des
Moines, state director and other OFF,
GERS OF 'he war savings stamp organ

chain letters.

from the national committee which
