Goethe said we had better watch out what
we desire in youth. for in our old age we get
it--good and plenty Well, in my youth I
wanted to see the Isles of Grease and Asia
Minor. In my old age I get it, any, amount
of Grease. and Asia Minors by the ton. So
it goes So it will continue to go until some
one slips the Peace Congress a few depth
charges and gets them moving. OF course,
peace may have come, but we cant get any
thing here our wireless is continually

Lines for the chIdren's Washstand

Before you sit at table
To ask Gods grace,
Wash clean as you are able
Your hands and face.
And every son or daughter
Who's good like you,
VIII use warm sudsy water
And washrag, too.
Roll up your sleeves securely,
Near elbow high,
So you can keep, most surely,
Your blouse cuffs dry.
Don't splash the water madly-
Take time to rinse
Don't smudge the towel sadly
With finger prints.
AS sure as heavens above you,
And grass is green,
If you want God to love you,
You must keep clean!
JOHN A. CLEARY.

RIRQ G[uR NOTES

Have we nesting places ready for
the bluebirds? In a very short time.
they will beready for housekeeping
and we must have suitable homes
for them if we would have them
stay with us.
A box s inches deep and 5 or 6
inches in diameter, set up on pole
or in a tree will usually attract
them. The entrance should not be
more than one and. one-half inches
across, and should be 6 inches
above the floor. A perch is not
necessary. Put the box eight or
ten feet above the ground.
How did the birds know that the
winter would be mild? Who can
tell? Many Of our birds did not go
south as usual. We are informed
that robins, bluebirds and cardinals
were seen here in January and
showed themselves quite frequently
/ the first part Of February.
Chickadees are quite numerous
this winter. Let US see if we cant
keep them with us through the
]summer by providing them with
suitable nesting places. They like
a deep box, at least ten inches deeI
!by four inches across each way
j The entrance should be eight inches
above the floor and about one ane
one-quarter inches across, 50 tha1
English sparrows could not enter
It should be placed from six to fiji
teen feet above the ground.
