Of grass were woven together to
form a sort of roof over the nest.
Il suppose the wind must have
blown the grass together over the
nest to make a roof" thought the
rabbit "Or perhaps the bird made
the roof when she found she could
lot get her nest back into the tree
out of which the wind may have
blown it.
All of a sudden, as the rabbit
was hopping around the nest on the
ground, he saw a streaked, brown
bird, something like a robin but
with a shorter tail, flying and flut-
tering around. AS this bird fIut-
tered, Uncle Wiggily could see that
she had some white feathers among
he brown ones Of her tail. The
birds tail was spread out broadly
and she seemed as though she bad
oeen hurt, so slowly did she flutter
and fly. close to the ground,
Perhaps l can catch and help
hat bird" thought Uncle Wiggi!y.
He followed her through the
tangled grass, and then he noticed
that she was leading him away
from the nest. Pretty soon the rab-
bit could no longer see the eggs on
the ground and he called to the
white-tailed. fluttering bird:
why don't you let me catch UP
20 you and help you out? Is that
your nest on the ground? If II =
and if it has fallen out Of tree.
I will help you put it back again.
Who are you?" asked the bird
whose song was something like :
whistle. She was the mother bird
and the father bird could whistle
and sing much more Sweetly.
Il am Uncle Wiggily," answered
the rabbit. Il am a friend TO all
birds and animals and l would like

was only my way of getting you 10
leave the place where my nest is.
1t was a sort of trick. But now
that I know you are a friend, I'll
lead you back so you may see my
pretty eggs
But don't you want me to help
you put your nest back in the
tree?" asked the rabbit.
Thank you, no." answered the
bird. You see I am a meadow
lark, and we ldrks always build
our nests on the ground. We never
build in trees. I wove a covering
of grass over the top of my nest IL
keep off the rain and to nide my
eggs from the eyes of those who
might take them. In trees tie
leaves cover the eggs of such birds
as build nests in their branches.
But on the ground I must weave
a grass roof for my nest. Now here
we are back to where have hidden
my eggs. I must now cover them
with my warm body SO my little
birds will hatch out of the shells" :"
Close beside where he had come
to a stop, near the fluttering lark,
Uncle Wiggily again saw the
speckled eggs in the nest. All six
were still safely there and soon the
father bird came flying down to
the ground, whistling and singing
sweetly.
This is Uncle Wiggily," said
Mrs. Lark to her husband.
I'm pleased to meet you," said
.he rabbit.
He thought our nest had fallen
out of tree and he was going TO
help us put it back" said Mrs.
Lark, laughing as she nestled on
the speckled eggs.
That was very kind OF Uncle
Wiggily," sang Mr.. Lark. IF he
will come to see us again l thin;
soop he will see our little birds. "
Yes, do come" invited Mrs.
Lark. Then, all at once, she and
her husband crouched down deep
in the grass and Mr.. Lark
whispered:
Someone is coming" Uncle
Wiggily heard footsteps coming
nearer. He wondered who it could
be. You shall learn who it was to-
morrow night when the story will
be about Uncle Wiggily and the
surprised boys.
And I hope the telephone doesn't
talk in its sleep and make the alarm
clock think it is time to wake up
the pussy cat.

Somewhere in Imperial Valley to-

their surprising victory over the Amer
leans shutting Uncle Sam out OF the
challenge round for the first time in
MANY a year. The pair who inquired
most prominently in that upset-H. W..
Bunny Austin and Frederick Perry
Just have been soundly licked by the
present German team, so there was
little doubt of the class Of opposition
the Americans faced today.
In their only previous Davis Cup
meeting with Germany, the Americans
swept the 1929 interZone finals without
the loss of a match. The present Ger
man combination is considered much
stronger.

~HICAGO, July 22.-Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, the fiery
commissioner of all organized
base ball, says he couldn't spy
a single financial angel over the minor
league horizon.
Yes, yes. know the minor leagues,
especially those of lower classification,
are having their financial worries" he
said explosively, but what can I or
the major leagues do? 1t would take
an act of Congress and the United
States Treasury to pull them out.
Base ball is suffering just like all
other business. 1t just seems that 1t
can't be helped. They'll get along all
right in time. Five and c leagues
already have suspended, while lot of
others, A leagues included, are caught
in the general depression, and lot Of
business houses are in whole lot worse
shape than some of the weakest and
sickest minor leagues"
What about that big surplus the
major leagues nave stored up for a
rainy day? 1t has been suggested that
the majors turn some of that money
over to the minors to tide them over
the bumps?" he was asked.
Surplus? Surplus? Now I know
you are talking foolish the old judge
fired back. Sometimes I don't know
who's in the craziest profeSsion-you or
I. Goodby."
Except for few editorials by sports
writer's, who believe that the major
leagues should come to the rescue of the
faSt-fading minors, no concerted move
in such direction has been discovered
SO far. Brooklyn and the New York
Giants caused the final fold-up Of the
Eastern League, for many years one OF
the big money earners of the minors, by
turning back their franchises, while, on
the other hand, several major league
clubs have helped such circuits as the
Mississippi Valley. Piedmont, New York
State and Middle Atlantic with none
too profitable farms and cash.
Several others stuck to the finish in
the ancient Three-Eye until it was
financially impossible to go on with the
turnstiles getting rustier every day for
lack of customers Many Of them have
shipped their farmed-out players from
closed leagues to other pastures, on
option.
The entire problem unquestionably
will reach a showdown next December
when the minor league owners hold
