birds to the boys and girls In a big
city school.
what will the birds do?" they asked
one another when they heard Of the
numbers of trees which would have to
come down.
1--WE must help them" they said.
And they did not put 1t off and they
did not forget about 1t afterward
Sometimes people will be very much
interested in helping and then will for
get all about II and will forget how
eager they had been to help.
But not these boys and girlsl
No, they wanted to commence work
at once.
So they talked to their teachers
about 1t and their teachers were very
much Interested
AT once their teachers helped them
arrange to set to work. And long be-
fore the trees were to come down the
boys and girls began building the
houses.
They found out The correct kinds of
houses to build for different birds and
squirrels and pigeons.
And they made every house just as
1t should be made-just the right kind
for each family of birds who would
want house.
The boys did the carpentry work
themselves and the girls painted the
houses and suggested names for the
houses.
And the teachers encouraged and
helped and praised the work the boys
and girls were doing.
They put the houses out to dry In
the sunshine after they were painted.
And then they painted names upon
the houses.
Over one house was the name "Rest
Here"
Another was called Bird Hail."
Yet another was called "Cozy Nest"
And yet another was named bird
Bungalow"
Oh, all of them were named, and
how fine the names did look painted
upon the houses.
Then one day all the boys and girls
with their teachers marched forth to
the park and there, with the help of
some of the park people, they put up
the houses for the birds and the
squirrels and the pigeons upon other
trees.
The birds looked about them from
the branches of trees and some hoped
about the lawns while others walked
along the paths.
And when the children sang the
birds sang too.
Later, when the children were leav-
ing, the birds all sang great chorus
song of thanks and though the chill
dren couldn't understand the words Of
the song, yet they knew from the
happy voices of the birds that the
birds were rejoicing and were singing
their thanks.
And the birds talked to one another
after the children had left the PARK
and said to each other:
I'VE have had our housing problem
looked after for u.s. How good boys
and girls arel To think of the time
and the trouble they took for us!"
And there was great happiness in
the park that day because of boys and
girls who loved birds.
And not only for that day, but for
many and many day to comet

Gold Production In Russia.

The Russian trade delegation reports
that Siberia produced during the first
four months Of the present year over
16 pools t38.1 pound per pood) of gold
according to the Engineering and Min

quantity Is FIVE times greater than the

approximately S10,s00 per pood so that
the total value is $172.s00 or at an an
nual rate Of only little more than
100000. This compares with pro-
