HAND TO MOUTH

You KNOW said little Mr.. Robin
that we do love to be talked TO by
people. Perhaps that is not just the
way | should express myself, but | am
sure You understand my meaning.
Then, too, you know I'm not great
on correct speech. | never went to
school. | never carried d pad and a
pencil and Il note book and a lot of
other books. You have to carry such
things if You want to be wise.
Il suppose you have to do some
thing else besides carrying such things
If you want to be wise, but that is the
beginning of wisdom"
III take your word for it" said
Mrs. Robin, smiling sweet robins 5

Now Mr. and Mrs. Robin were sit.
ting upon an arbor side by side. Mr..
Robin had been singing the loveliest
songs and Mrs. Robin had been enjoy
Ing his song SO very much.
Now in the white house nearby"
said Mr.. Robin, the lady there chats
with me and with you, and with the
other birds, and it does make life so
pleasant and sOciable.
"She will say to me:
Well, you dear little Robin, and
did you sing a nice song for US? Yes,
indeed you did: You're a cunning lit
tie creature, and your mate Is very
sweet
Then she will talk to the Humming
Bird who does her marketing near the
noneysuckle honey market.
"She will say TO the Humming Bird,
as she picks flowers nearby:
Now, don't let me frighten you,
dear little Humming Bird wouldn't
do that for all the world
"Oh, yes we all love her But I
had something to say to you, Mrs.
Robin"
"Chirp, chirp, yes, yes" said Mrs.
Robin.
They were sitting very close togeth-
er now and turned their little heads
to look at each other from time to
time. Then again they looked out at
the little green lawn with it's arbors
at the other end, too, the white house
beyond that. and the little flower bed
edging the side of the house.
Il heard an expression or saying
which l thought was a very good one"
said Mr. Robin.
YES, yes, chirp, chirp," said Mrs.
Robin.
Il heard some one say that it
wasn't wise to live from hand to
mouth. Now for the longest time I
puzzled over that. I did not know
what was meant by such a saying or
expression.
"And then listened some more, and
from the conversations and talks that
l heard | discovered what 1t meant"
Tell me-" said Mrs Robin

other saying or expression.
"When people speak of saving up
for a rainy day they mean saving
something for time which isn't so
bright and prosperous and rich and
all. Saving up something for a
rainy day is wise, because it keeps one
from being hard up ana dependent on
others when the rainy day comes.
"Of course the rainy day is just a
saving, meaning what I've explained.

Juicy worms in the rainy weather.
But a creature who lives from hand

the money or the worms as he can,
and eats what he has earned at once
A person who lives from hand to
mouth spends all he makes as soon as
he makes it-nOt only IN food, of
course.
And q bird who lives from beak
TO stomach is bird who doesn't think
Of the future. OF course, we birds
can't save up and have little bank ac-

we can do such good work that we

SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE MAY III
COUNTY COMMITTEE FOR CAM
PAIGN is NOW BEING Sc
CURED IN GRATIOT.

Brigadier Samuel Withers, Com
mander of the Michigan Division of
the Salvation Army, announced today
that the annual appeal will be made
in the southern halt OF the state dur
ing the week of May 9TH to 18th, in
elusive.
Workers have already been sent
into the field and many of the Ad-
visory Boards have met, re-organized
their respective counties, accepted the
quota and date of campaign. In this
county workers are now being Sc
cured in every part of Gratiot in an
ticipation of the drive.
In speaking of the last years
work, Brigadier Withers states "We
now have in operation in this division
thirty-four corps, including two Swe-
dish corps. These corps carry on the
regular activities of the Salvation
Army such as open-air services, in
door services, visitation of the sick,
relief to the poor and where emer-
gencies of an unusual nature occur
seek the advice of the local Advisory
Board and work under the direction
of divisional headquarters.
"Then we have two Rescue
Homes" continued the Brigadicr,
one located in Detroit and the other
in Grand Rapids. In these institu-
tions unfortunate girls are received
from all over the state. Not one
county can boast of not having sent
a girl to these institutions. Here
the girls are received, required to stay
at least three months, they are given
the best of medical care, their relig-
ious life nurtured according to their
own belief and the girls encouraged
to take care of their own babies. We
do not approve of adopting our babies
out. When these girls are ready to
leave the institution, when necessary
we help them to find employment
where they can take their babies
with them.
"The Division has rendered aid to
hundreds of families during the past
year in the way Of giving food, milk,
coal, clothing, medicines, etc. Relig-
ious services are conducted on sched-
ule all during the year"
