THE AMERICAN ROBIN.


(This In the hrst Of . series OF
short illustrated articles about the
birds common to this city and its
vicinity. Written by an amateur
bird lover, the purpose IL to an
courage interest, love and protection
for the birds. Others win follow
from time to time. Dd.)
Everybody knows him and likes
him. both for himself and for the
visions he brings. Tho spring Is
here when the robins come. The
bird books dismiss him A. TOO we'll
known to need description" and use
him as the unit OF measure for all
other birds-they are robin sixe." or
bigger or smaller than 4 robin.
He Is really a thrush. first cousin
to the shy and exclusive bird OF the
poets, the hermit thrush, and to that
handsome musician. the wood thrush.
That's where the baby robins get
those speckled breasts. The grown
ups lose this sign Of high-bred re-
lationship and lapse into tho entirely
commonplace in ways as we'll as
looks. They abandon the secluded
woods for the town, eat with our
chickens, avoid our cats with an in
difference bred of familiarity. build
their hopelessly commonplace nests in
all sorts Of plebian places. and even
get along fairly well with the in
tolerable English sparrow. And yet,
one robins song In March Is worth
all the thrushes Of summer.
The children call him "redbreast,"
but the naturalists say his breast is
rust colored;" Thoreau says pale
cow colored." Our homesick Pill
grim fathers long on theology and
short on ornithology, called the first
reddish breasted bird they saw,
robin Redbreast," but our bird Is
not at all like the English robin.
Burroughs parallels the English
robin with our bluebird and the
American robin with an English
blackbird.
The high tide Of the robin migra-
ton is here. They have been arriv-
ing for more than a month. The first
, came about March I. A few spend
the winter here. counted twenty
in one flock in the cemetery last
week. ard our lawns are dotted with
them hopping about, turning their
wise little heads so they can see
signs Of their favorite form OF good
cheer.
Robins only eat fruit ~ second
choice, so trust him If he builds his
clumsy nest in your cherry tree. He
probably will find there good hunting
in the Shape of flying and creeping
things that would spoil your
cherries.
AS the spring advances and the
crowds Of interesting, sometimes rare
and beautiful birds come, we lose In
terest in our first love of the spring.
His breast fades and he looks worn
with family worries. and nobody
cares much about him except his
faithful friends, the children.

MILK PRODUCERS ORGANIZE
Permanent Organization Expected to
Be Perfected Today.

The permanent organization of the
Marshall County Milk Producers
Association was expected to be
effected today at meeting held at
the east court room. The meeting
was largely attended and at noon it
was said the organization, as
planned, had met with general favor.
1t was hoped at that hour to rush
the work Of organization thru and
to elect officers.
The organization is designed to
protect the producers against dis
eliminating price changes and to in
sure hxed price for milk, with con-
tracts for purchase by the dis
tributers of a flxed amount Of milk
during the summer. The organiza-
ton also is intended to improve the
industry and to work to the advant-
age of the consumer in that a better
quality of milk will go to the market.

Sport suits for the coming summer
are showing a strong tendency to
combine plain and figured materials.
There are many suits being shown
now which have jackets of plain
material In black, white or a color,
and then they have skirts Of figured
material carrying out the Same color
or contrasting colors. or vice versa.
These suits may be developed in out
ing flannel or in serge or jersey, but
they are more often made up In
fancy or novelty silk and standings
or pongees.
This smart suit Is OF a cream
colored silk. The coat. which is a
plain belted model trimmed with
pockets, is Of the plain material,
while tho accordion pleated skirt is
cream color with purple figures In it.
The collar and cuffs Of the coat are
also Of the figured material. Per-
haps the smartest note about the
whole outfit, is the hat, which seems
to have been made particularly for
this suit. 1t is Of the same cream
silk and is braided all over in purple.
Such a costume as this for summer
makes woman feel well dressed
and fashionable no matter what the
occasion.

centuries began In France.

Feminine Army Charts Three Months'
Test To Pave Way for Safe In
vestment.


The savings division Of the treas
ury department Is depending on the
women Of the nation not only 20 help
bring down the high cost Of living. but
to establish the permanent practice Of
saving money and material, and finally
the investing Of these savings In safe
securities. such as War Savings stamps
and 500 and $1,000 Treasury Savings
certificates.
Under the signature Of william
Mather Lewis, director Of the savings
division, letter has been sent to the
presiding officers Of all the principal
women's organizations of the country.
The general plan for the work of the
women in 1920 has been worked out In
a national way by Mrs. Grace g.. Bart
lett, vice director In charge Of wom-
ems organizations.
Supplementing the letters sent out
by her and Director Lewis. similar
letter has been sent to all the women's
organizations in the five states Of the
Seventh district that have no national
thrift chairmen. In his letter Direc-
tor Lewis said in part:
"The influence Of women in working
out the great economic problems is in
valuable, 1t is In the power Of women
to regulate the use and control the
price of the necessities of life. They
are the buyers. They must also be the
savers. When this power is applied In
a concentrated way, women will be one
of the greatest factors In solving the
present problem of the high cost Of liv-
ing and in establishing the permanent
practice of saving money and material.
The savings division called into confer
ence the national thrift chairmen Of
the following wOmen's organizations:
Association Of Collegiate Alumnae.
Daughters of the American Revolution.
General Federation of Women's Clubs.
National Catholic War council. Ma
tional Congress of Mothers and Parent
Teachers associations, National Coun-
ell Of Jewish Women, National Fedora
ton of Business and Professional
Women's Clubs, National League for
Women's Service; Women's depart
ment. National Civic Federation,
Young Women's Christian association.
1T was agreed that these organiza-
lions should be asked 10 make test
among their membership of the wis
dom with which money is spent. This
test was to be started January and
continued as an experiment through
February and March. The plan Is as
follows:
"January-To keep accounts. Each
individual will be asked to keep an ac-
count of her daily expenses, grouping
them under such items as rent, food,
clothing household service, amuse-
ments. incidentals, etc. G
"February-To save. Each indivi-
dual will analyze the January ex-
penses and make an effort through In
formation gained In January to save
certain amount through conservation
without hardship.
'March-To invest. Each individual
Will make calculation Of how much
was saved on living expenses in Feb
ruary over an equal number of days in
January In this month an effort will
be made TO encourage the members OF
these organizations to invest their saw
ings In government securities"
