SAVE THE BIRDS.

dlate stop TO the reckless murder Of
song birds, and the small boy with a
gun and anxious 10 use II will have
to look for some other prey II ~
bettor late thnn' never. This city and
this country would have been much
better Off in many respects had this
prohibition been put INTO effect and
continuously enforced many years
ago. And while we are at it, let US
not confihe the protection to song
birds alone but 20 birds In general,
for the birds are mans friends and
bcnefRctors even when they are not
able 70 charm his ear with melody,
1t Is useless 10 discuss the otti-
tudo Of tho small boy In the matter.
He IN not 80 much 10 blame as his
parents. The boy who is rlghtfully
trained to respect life except as self
defense requires It's violation, Will
not voluntarily vent his pcnt-up on
crgios on Improbable destructive
ness, neither will he useicssly harm
any living creature. Tho majority
Of parents, however, do not take
pains to lnstili such sentiment in his
mind. They are too little removed
from the barbarian themselves. for
do not tho women slnuEhtcr birds
and fur-bcarinE animals for no
higher purpose than personal adorn-
ment? And do not the men shoul-
der a gun and so forth TO spread des-
olatlon and sorrow among the dcni-
zcns Of the forest, not for any useful
or necessary purpose, but Tor the
qualification Of a desire for what
they call "sporH"
But from the standpoint Of the
farmer and orchardlst, the protcc-
ton Of brd-llfe Is an important sub
jcct They hayo heretofore been
killed by wholesale and insects OF
various kinds have come like a
plague TO devour our substance. In
some parts OF the enrth the industry
or timing the soil has been almost
rendered Impossible. chiefly because
the birds, who devoured immense
quantltlca Of Insects, had been almost
oxtermlnated. Yot here we have
enough things 10 plague the crops
to make any man who IL thoughtful,
q militant friend and defender of the
birds It.ia not alone their song that
makes life better, but the practical
value OF devourers OF insects speaks
for them in terms OF dollars and
cents. Lot us save the birds.

OF course the Tailor Bird was only
too anxious TO get ride, although
he did have a good pair Of wings
But the needle was pretty heavy and
Tailor Birds don't often
have the opportunity to ride In auto
mobiles.
Well after little ways, not 30
very far, the Luckymobile came to
stop, and OF course, Billy Bunny had
to get out to see what was the mat
ter, ana he hunted and hunted all
over the machine, but couldn't find
ont what was wrong. BY and by he
saw one Of the numbers had dropped
Off the little license plate that hung
down from tho rear axle.
So he hoped back. and by and by,
Just as he was going to give up
looking for It. Parson Crow flew by
and when he saw Billy Bunny he
stopped and said: what are you
looking for. little rabbit" And when
Billy Bunny told him he took the
numhrr : -aut OF his pocket and
landed It to the little bunny. Here

"WelI, H. you can get me another
number, I don't care II you keep It"
said the little rabbit And then what
do you think that crow did. Why. he
got a nice smooth little chip and
made a lovely number 3 on 1t with n
rcd pencil and handed 1t to the little
rabbit. And as soon as he had tied
it on the Luckymobile, would you
believe 1t II ] didn't say so, that
Luckymobile started to go all by
itself And If Billy Bunny hadn't
been mighty quick he would have
been left behind.
where are you two rabbits go

alongside Of the LuclSymobile, Be
cause II you are not in hurry, why
don't you come with me to the meet
ing house tonight and hear me
preach?"
I'VE will" said kind Uncle Lucky,
"and I'll drop a carrot cent in the
collection box II you want me to-"
So after a while they stopped near a
tall pine tree and Parson Crow sat
on n limb and waited for all the little
people of the forest to come to the
meeting. Well, after they were al
there, he began:
Now, listen TO the, words I say,
And do your duty every day
Re always good and most polite
And do the things you know are
right.
Oh, never say an angry word
To any animal or bird, twill be good
So when the night comes
To feel you've done the best you
could" -
And after that Uncle Lucky
dropped a carrot dollar In the coll
lection box and then he and Billy
Bunny drove home.

HOLD ON TO THEM.

Just because you have patriotlcally
invested your money where 1t Will do
Uncle Sam tho most good, don't pride
youself that you are a high-clnss pa
triot and a bonefactor OF tho nation
unless you have the grit to hold on
to the documents until the .war Is
over and the nation is ready to re-
deem the investment. The tompta-
ton ia great for many people to
transfer those evidences OF the ma
tlon's debt Into things OF immediate
profit with as little ocompunction as
they would bank note or treas
ury certificate. The tendency Is 10
reduce tho bonds to the standing OF
legal tender, whieh OF course they
are. but that Is not the right way to
do the nation tho most good with
your money. They should, to be
the most effective, represent sac
rifico on your part Of present ag-
grandlzement as a contribution TO the
cost Of the war. II Ia true that In the
end you will profit by the invest
ment, but they are intended 10 re-
lieve the government OF spending
that much money at the emergency
jbefore us and TO use the credit
represented by these bonds.
AS long as we keep the bonds in
circulation as legal tender the eco
nomlc. effect is just as demorallzlng
and tends TO Imitation as though the
government had issued that much
extra paper money We all know
what history has shown tho effect
TO he OF paper money initiation, II
has unsettled business, worked hard
ship upon the poor, and has cost
more in the end than II the same
amount had been borrowed outright.
But OF more import than either
OF these reasons against trading in
government bonds and making them
Iplaythings on the stock markets, Is
the fact that 1t is not really patriotic
to so dispose OF them, Put your
bonds where fire and thieves can
not get at them, and hold on to
their ownership until the war Is over
This will help the government and
the country and prevent serious de-
preston OF market values Keep them
out OF the sacrileglous hands OF the
stock broker The bondholder who
sells except Tor reasons OF absolute
necessity is nearly in tho same cate.

the ranks when the bullets begin tc

Ny Dear Niecs:
The morning mail brought me
three invitations, two TO weddings
ana one to picnic.
Alberta and Noble are TO be mar
ried with simple ceremonies in the
morning. In the private parlor of a
hotel There will be a breakfast
after the ceremony, and then the
couple will go away for an automo-
bile trip for few days.
Frances wanted to\give Alberta
fashionable wedding and agreed
to pay Gall expenses IL she would
come TO Chicago and be married.
Alberta declined and asked her
sister to give that money to the
French orphans.

money on show when millions of
people are suffering and little chill

Il did that. You know l always

used to dab around on bad can
vases and spoil good china with
purple roses and blue fish. When /
first met Noble l talked TO him about
my blighted ambitions in the artis-
tic line and he said a few things
about art that were new to me.
Art isn't painting csnvases that
nobody wants" was the way he put
It. Art is making the simple
things OF everyday beautiful and ap-
propriate. You may not be able to
paint pictures that people want to
buy; but you might try your sense
OF color combinations on your own
costumes and set everybody, ad-
miring"
