THE BosoLINKs.

81 heard" said Mr.. BobOlnk. that
the Phoebe Birds had told their story
of how they like TO get acquainted
with people. and have people become
acquainted with them, and SO they
sing their name or say their name
over and over again. But we would
like to tell people that we do the
same way. Wouldn't we like to do
thar, Mrs. Bobolink?"
Indeed we would" said Mrs. Bob
olink. For if anyone does not know
our story ii is time that they should
that is, Of course. if they like 10 hear
the stories the birds have TO tell.
81 most certainly hope they do. for
the birds love TO tell their stories and
have people care for them Birds
care for people, and so it is natural
that they ike to have people care for
them.
The only people birds don't care
for are for those who would hurt
them or take the eggs. 1t would be
too cruel for anyone to ever take our
lovely eggs. What beautiful whiush-
brownsh eggs these five eggs were.
And what nice little Bobolinks they
became.
"Why, it would be as cruel to do
that as 1t would be to put a sharp
sword through Mother BcbOlink's
heart.
1T would be cruel If people took
little babies out of their steering bas-
kets or cots and took them off just
to see what color eyes they had and
how big they were, and few little
facts like that.
at would be so cruel a thing to do.
And people can enjoy birds so much
more by hearing them sing and by
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1921-07-16

watching them perched on trees and
grasses and fences, or by watching
them fly through the air, showing
their pretty feathers.
People wouldn't like it If bobo-
links or other birds ran off with their
little ones and so it isn't fair to do
such things to bobolinks or other
birds. 1t isn't fair at all. 1t is very,
very cruel. And just because people
are bigger than we are it is even more
cruel
"Of course, it would be Impossible
for bobolinks and other bird families
to hurt people. But isn't it even worse
IF people to hurt US because they
are strong enough to IL so? I think
anyone who steals birds eggs is a
bully. that's all, doing something
mean to a little creature more help
less than he or she is.
But let US not talk Of such a sad
subject, though it was ] who started
the talk on It. Let US talk of what
you started to speak of-how the
Phoebe Birds told their story Of how
they liked to get acquainted with
people"
Eyes" Mr.. Bobolink said. "the
Phoebe birds told how they said
Phoebe, Phoebe over and over again
so people would know who they were.
"And I'd Ike to have people know
that we say Bob-o-llnk, Bob-o-llnk'
over and over again to let them know
who we are.
I'VE add a few trills to our song
which the Phoebe birds don't bother
about. but just the same we sing our
name over and over again, very clear
ly and distinctly"
you always guard me 50 well"
said Mrs. Bobolink. you do not let
any harm come to me- And If / am
busy looking for food, though you may
be singing for all you are worth, you
are watching out, too to see that we
are safe and that no one viii harm
US, and you warn roe In plenty OF
time.
"Ah Mr. Boholink. It is not every
creature who goes marketing and who
does her household tasks who can
have beautiful music to listen 10 as
she works. But you sing for me,
with your lovely voice and again and
again you ten me your name IS Bob-o-
linkl To be sure I know it is But
to me the name Is 50 sweet that
cannot hear It too often No, Mr..
Bobolink, I cannot hear the name Of
Bobolink too often"
'That is good said Mr. Boboliuk.
And putting his head on one side he
sang over and over and over again,
"Bob-o-link. Bob-oIink, Bob-o-linE"

One bill repeats all existing trans
portation and sales taxes except those
on tobacco and distilled spirits, oleo-
margarine, habit forming drugs and
products of child labor, and repeats
the excess profits tax and the 10 per
cent tax on incomes of corporations.
Another bill amends the income tax
law so as to distinguish between
earned" and "unearned" income. The
tax on 'unearned" income, together
with the Super-taXes, is retained, but
the tax on earned" incomes is cut in
two.
Mr. Keller figures that these taxes,
with customs and other miscellaneous
revenue. would raise funds sufficient
to meet the government budget, and
in addition provide a sinking fund
which would pay off the government
debt in 80 years.
