Winter is the t;,nz when the birds go away to warmer lands. But there's heauiifui biri which We always see and that Is tho saucy blue jay.

\ NuttinE Day.

Dear Uncle Jed: One Saturday mern- ing. I went after nuts. I had to walk about a mile before I got to my nutting place. There were quite few nuts there this year. From one tree. got over two hundred nuts. so you can imagine how many nuts there were
 While I was walking through the woods I noticed how beautiful the trees were. Almost al of their leaves were changing color-most every color you could imagine.
 Later in the season. the boys and will gather them and make a fire. We will bring potatoes along with us and roast them. This is what I like to do. Ii is great fun. We have to be careful where we light these fires. so that we do not set trees or bushes on fire. BYRON KLOSS, Age 1t.

DREAMS.

I dreamed I was sailor boy.
 High on a swaying mast My left foot slipped, lost my grip.
 And was falling fast. My heart rose up into my mouth.
 felt as if I'd choke; But just before I hit the deck,
 Thank Heaven, I awoke. I dreamed I was a traveller
 In some far tropic land And there were tigers all around.
 And snakes on every hand. A boa constructor hugged me tight,
 So tight I could not scream What joy it gave me to awake, And find it was a dream. And I have suffered other dreams,
 Which stood my hair on end, And filled me with a quaking dread.
 Of what they might portend. And when I think what awful times My dreams have led me through. With heartfelt fervor I exelaim. Thank God. Dreams don't com true. -Someryille Journal

Don't Shooti
BY ApNIA RnLE BzARD


 One summer. there was small boy at our camp whose chief treasure wRs a slingshooter. He was not expert in its use and though he scattered pebhits here and there no one needed him, for no harm was done until, one day, he took aim at bird in a tree and-hit it.
 The bird dropped The boy gaspsi with amazement, then horror. and final ly. when he found that the bird waS really dead. he was overcome with aTisf and set up the vail "I didn't me1n Co kill It l didn't mean to kiu hf"
 No, he certainly did not intend ts 60 that, but he was thoughtless and, sec ing the bird, used 1t for a t1Jfet. He was only eight years old but how many much older boys would have resisted the impulse to shoot in the same .houghtless fashion?
 When boy or girl learns to use kfe- arms, or even homemade affair tina; can kill, he or she should also learn when not to shoof. That is of far greater importance than good mzfks- nlanship.
 It is fine thing, especially for the outdoor boys and girls, to know how tc handle pistol or rife; it is somsiseI a very necessary thing, bpt no eRs should take up the practice thoughfiesy. ly. To have the power of life or deatil over any living creature Is . h;g ss- sponsibility.
 When you carry your airgun 0 sifc into the woods, do not Shoof q esy- ihing-unless it may be a target-sin. ply because you want to try youf sAiil Do not shoot unless you have . soot reason for shooting.
 The useless killing of one bird aA, have far-reaching, harmful etfeets. Hpl the greatest harm will come to sos for to kill merely for the sake of hii. ing, cultivates hardness and ssssitJ

DAWES AND THE BUDGET

A IBUQuERQUE people will have an opportunity next Thursda,
n night Al the High School auditorium, TO hear a full and frank
: = discussion Of one of the great issues now being Tough; out at
Washington, by q man who knows all about il and who helped mi
tate the fight Hon. John T. Pratt, chairman Of the National Budget
commission is the speaker. lie is making a tour of 30 of the states
frankly seeking 10 arouse interest in and support for the fight that
is being waged by General Dawes, dircetor Of the budget bureau
ment expenditures and substitute system and efficiency for waste.
1t was the national budget commission which carried on the
agitation that finally resulted in the enactment of the budget law
by the present congress- Now that the law is enacted and the bud
get bureau established. The commission is seeking to arouse public
sentiment in its support. so that il may function with the least EN-
barrassnfent and the greatest efficiency.
Dawes, as chief Of ths budget bureau, has set bureaucratic
Washington by the ears. He is as popular in the departments and bu-
reaus whose acquisitions for funds he is resoltely trimming, as is the
income tax collector with the general public.
The first federal budget is TO be submitted To congress when it
reeonvenes.
General Dawes has also promised 10 keep the departments run
ming this year at several hundred millions below the total Of the a.
preparations allowed them, lie is a busy aud an exigent man. He has
taken over an ungrateful task heroieally. II is good to know that
every onnce Of the Presidents influence is behind him.
Congress is also with him. The house appropriations committee
reported a deficiency appropriation bill which carried only $i04,-
100000, although the treasury mot the budget bureau) had asked
for sl90oo0000 The navy department requested $27.00oOO0 and
got nothing.
General Dawes set out Oh what seemed a long. hard tilt against
the bureaucratic passion for spending. He had all the traditions Of
the governmental machine against him. But he is winning his fight.
lie is going 10 aceustom Washington to strict budget methods More
than that, he isbringng into the Federal service a new sense Of bust
ness and personal accountability.
II will be interesting and valuable to hear at first hand from Mr..
Pratt the details OF the struggle to sustain the budget law and make
it work. II is a fight in which taxpayers are keenly interested, for in
this ease, a dollar saved by Dawes is a dollar earned for the people
