BIRD club
: Notes

The spring is drawing near and
it is time for those who have not
already done so to get busy and
prepare nesting places for our sum-
mer birds.
Birds are not at all particular
about their homes and prefer cav
tiles IN trees to our most elaborate
houses. Many birds will not enter q
painted house and the older the
boards used their construction the
better they seem to like them.
Painted houses or those made of
new lumber usually remain tenant
less until the old houses or boxes
are occupied.
In putting up nesting places we
keep in mind the kind of birds we
wish to occupy them. Robins will
not enter house or closed box but
will sometimes nest in brackets or
boxes with open sides. We more
often see their nests out in the open
usually in the forks of a tree or
limb.
Bluebirds arrive early and will
not remain with us if nesting
places are not convenient. They
are social little birds and like to
live near us but if they do not find
suitable nesting places retire to the
woods.
The house wrens are the most
con6ding of our summer visitors.
They love to live near human hab-
itations and will take possession of
almost any kind of a house or box
provided the entrance is not large
enough to admit the English SPAR
rows. The entrance to a wren's
house or box should be about the
size Of quarter dollar and four or
five inches above the floor. There
should be no perch or the English
sparrows will sit on it and annoy
the wrens as they go in and out.
A box for wren's nest should be
in shady place. 1t can be made
Of any old piece of board. Six
inches each way is convenient
size.
Let us get busy and get ready
for the birds whea they arrive.
Every home sho have several
nesting places for e...erent kinds of
birds.

Real Advertising Rates

Paper famine is forcing news
paper periodicals all over the

ing rate card, and you may be
interested in seeing what that high
toned monthly charges for it's
advertising space. The rate is SIP a

in colors costs 1000, and if it is
the back cover page it runs up to
$4,000. The Saturday Evening
Post rates are $40 a line and $lO,-
600 for last cover page. How
many pages would you like at these

SIDEWALK is THEIR MARKET
Where All Sorts o, Goods Are Dis
posed of by New York's
"Down and Outs"

At the Bowery approach to the Will
liamsburg bridge may be witnessed an
interesting sight at any hour of the
day, says the New York Times. This
is the gathering of near down-and-outs
disposing Of what Is left of their
wardrobes and who, being poor sales
men, usually take what is offered and
not what they expected to get.
The other morning there We're four
on hand. One had three frayed silk
shirts, two pairs of more or less worn
trousers and three sets of silk under
wear. He asked 90 cents each for the
shirts and took 81 for the three. The
trousers brought IS cents the pair.
while he had much trouble in dispos-
ing Of the silk underclothing at 25
cents garment.
Another had fur-lined coat which
wasn't SO very awful looking. He
tried his best to get So for 1t and held
on for nearly an hour. Finally mo-
torman came along and. after digging
in every crevice of his pockets, pro-
duced $4.78. This won the coat.
A ragged fellow had three razors,
for which he asked 81 each. A big fell
low with wiry whiskers wanted a
razor but wasn't willing to pay the
price. He offered As cents, then so. He
bought for 60.
