Not all congressman and senators are

this true, Mrs. Sparrow? Isn't that
big bird she is feeding one of Mrs.
Yellow's children?"
Certainly not" answered the
Sparrow. You can see for your-
self how much larger the Cuckoo
is than Mrs. yellow. Her birds
do not grow as large as that any
more than mine do. Make that
bold Cuckoo fly away, Mrs Yellow,
and look after your own children.
Il was thinking this bird of
mine was growing very fast" said
Mrs. Yellow. Il had to fly away
many times to get worms for it..
My other birds don't eat nearly
so much"
"Of course they don't!" chirped
Mrs. Sparrow. This Cowbird or
Cuckoo is fooling you, Mrs. Yellow,
Just as the mother Cuckoo did
when she laid her egg in your
nest among your own eggs
'Oh, can such a thing have hap
pened?" asked Mrs. yellow.
Just ask Uncle Wiggily," ad-
vised Mrs Sparrow.
Yes answered the rabbit gen.
tleman, the Cowbird or Cuckoo
mother is very selfish. She is too
lazy to build a nest of her own, SO
she lays her eggs in the nest Of
other mother birds and makes
them hatch out her children. Even
when the young Cuckoo is Matched
its mother never bothers to come
around to look at it or feed it.
She makes other birds do her
work"
"Oh, the mean thing" cried Mrs.
yellow. I'm not going tc wear
myself out any longer bringing
worms to a lazy bird. Fly away
and get our own worms" she told
the Cuckoo
The big bird, almost fun grown,
peeped and cheeped and fluttered
its wings, but it was no use beg
ging The other birds drove it
away, as they should have done.
Now you will have more time to
look after your own little birds, y

Yes was the answer. Il am

singing and chirping among some
birds perched in the low bushes
around his home.
"Ha! Hai' laughed a Hedge

Yellow Bird who was feeding an
other bird much larger than Itself.
How silly you are, Mrs. yellow,
feeding that great. big Cowbird,
as if it were one of your own
children.
This is one of my BIRDS" peeped
Mrs. yellow as she dropped an
other worm down the open beak of
the big bird.
No! No" cried the Hedge Spar
row. That is a Cowbird or Cuckoo
and it has fooled you into thinking
it is one of your brood. Don't feed
it any more. Make its own mother
look after it. Ha! Ha! How silly
you arel'

Ia sudden. he heard Mrs. Sparrow
loudly cheeping.
What is the matter?' asked
Uncle Wiggily. hopping to the
hedge where the Sparrow had built
her nest.
Look Look!" cried Mrs. Spar
row. While 1 was telling Mrs.
Yellow about the Cuckoo that bold
bird came and laid an egg in my
nest. See this large, queer egg!
1t is not like any of mine. Some
birds might not see the difference
but l can. I'm not going to hatch
out the egg for q lazy Cuckoo
mother"
What are you going to do?'
asked Uncle Wiggily
Il am going to throw this
Cuckoo egg out of my nest SO it
will break answered Mrs. Spar
row. Then no mean Cuckoo can
hatch out to grow UP and lay eggs
in the nests of other birds. Get
out, you bad eggl' she cried.
Perehing on the edge of her nest,
the Sparrow mother poked with
her beak, pushed with her wing
and lifted with her claws until she
had pushed out the Cuckoo's egg,
which fell down in the grass. Uncle
Wiggily picked up the queer egg,
which had not broken.
What are you going to do with
that Cuckoo egg, Mr.. Longears?'
asked Mrs. Sparrow.
Il am going to try to find Mrs.
Cuckoo" answered the rabbit. Il
want to talk to her and ask her
to change her ways and hatch out
her own eggs, as all mother birds
should"
Il don't believe it will do any
good to talk to her." said Mrs.
Sparrow. But Uncle Wiggily said
he would try. So, with the Cow
birds egg in his pocket, the bunny
hoped off through the woods,
Soon he heard voice calling:
Cuckoo! Cuckoo, Cuckoo
And what happened next I'll

ECONOMY AND ECONOMY

EVEN THOUGH no corrective measures
L. are the immediate result of its ex-
pose, the United Press is deserving of
praise for the information it is giving
millions of newspaper readers through
out the country regarding the "genteel
rackets' INDUCED in by congressman and
senators.
The series of articles the news service
is now furnishing its client newspapers
on congressional irregularities is inter-
esting, if not astonishing.
Doubtless it came as a surprise to
many readers to learn that the people
are paying salaries to members of fam
lilies of senators and congressman, some
of whom do no work at all. and to others
who are doing personal work for the
senators and representatives, for which
they are entitled to no government re-
muneration.
Free barber service, thousands of dol
lars being spent for ornamental knick-
knacks, more thousands for fancy drink
ing water and other luXuries, all at the
expense of the government, make irritat-
ing reading to say the least.
The latest bit of graft exposed by the
United Press, is the so-called 'junket'
habit
This is the practice of senators and
congressman and their families, taking
extensive trips on naval vessels at the
expense of the government. A nominal
daily charge of $3.50 each which is to
cover the cost of food, is the only eX-
pense attached to such trips by those
who make them.
The Panama canal, Hawaii, the Phil
ippines and other parts of the nations
possessions, are visited by happy groups
of the elect, at little or no expense to
themselves, while the taxpayers sit at
home chewing off pencils as they try to
figure out how they shall meet the rising
cost of government.
There is no good reason why either
senator's, representatives or their fam
lilies, should be entitled to make these
"junkets". If a congressman or senator
has legitimate business that requires a
journey on a naval vessel, it is fair that
he should make the trip without cost to
himself. But few of these trips are for
government business. Certainly the
presence of the families cannot be con-
strued as being essential to the perform
ance of government business.
If it is irritating for the taxpayer to
read of these eXtravagances, it must be
even more so to read that congress has
consistently turned down corrective leg
