BIRDS ARE STARVING
Topel<ans Are Urged 10 Put Out Food
for Them.

IBTl
Feed the birds. II you want to keep
them irSTopeka, is the Bidding urged
this morning by e. f. A. Reinisch,
park superintendent. Reinisch said
this morning that the present brand of
weather was most disastrous for the
feathered residents of Topeka. 1t is
practically impossible for them to find
food with the ground covered with
foot or so of snow and 1t is up to the
people of Topeka to see to it that food
of some sort is scattered upon the
ground and that some endeavor is
made to provide food for the birds
during the extreme cold weather as
long as the snow is on tho ground. If
this is not done casualties will run
very high among the songsters and
Topeka will thaw out in the spring
with very few birds.
At the park, says superintendent
Reinisch, red birds and chickadees
predominant. In town there are num-
bers of the same birds and also-a few
blue Jays, snow birds. and many va
rieties of sparrows. Rein.sch sug-
gests as food, chick feed, wheat, other
small grains, and bread crumbs from
the tables in the homes. Scattered on
the snow outside of the homes, there
is every schance that the food will be
found by birds wandering in the neigh
borhood. When one bird locates a
food supply, says Reinisch, it is not
long until he has communicated the
welcome news, to all his chums in his
crowd and they gather for a repast
long denied: In their joy and jubila-
ton at finding something to eat they
create quite a disturbance and the
glad tid.ngs spread among other birds,
perhaps not in their social set. but
equally as hungry nevertheless, and
they join the group on the ground in
eating up the food which will enable
them to come thru the difficulties
created by the cold and storm.
Superintendent Reinisch suggests
that all the children of the city make
a special effort to put food out for the
birds and that If they succeed in at
tracing the attention of other birds
to be sure and put out enough SO that
all may get enough to eat.
