w LACKY THE CROW was down
- on the brown marshes around
the mouth of the Big River, a
0 long way from his home in the
Green Forest. 1t Wasn't so cold here.
You see, he was farther South. Then,
too, he was near the seacoast, where it
1t not likely to be so cold as farther
inland. The other Crows with whom
he had come down had gone on farther
South, but Blacky had made the ac-
Quaintance of a cousin. His cousins
name was Fish Crow. Blacky hadn't
known that he had this cousin until
he met him down there on the brown
marshes. His cousin had invited him
to stay a while, and Blacky had de-
cided that this was just what he
would do.
IT never could see any sense in going
O long way from home. unless 1t was
really necessary" said Fish Crow.
"Nor T." replied Blacky. "The fact
Is, 7 Just hated to leave home up in
the Green Forest. 1t was pretty hard
work to pick up living, but think
! would have stayed had it not been
for couple of robbers up there"
"Who were they?" asked his cousin.
seWere they any one know?"
"I don't know as to that" replied
Blacky, because, you see, I don't
know whom you know and whom you
don't know" One of them was Whitley
the Snowy Owl, down from the Far
North"
II know him." declared Fish Grow,
and it looked to Blacky as if his cousin
shivered little. "Yes, sir, know
him, and hope he doesn't come down
here. I've known him to come Winters
He likes fish, that fellow does. That's
all right. The trouble is when fish are
scarce he is likely to take what he can
catch. and I'm always afraid he'll take
o notion to try a Crow. I hope he'll
stay up in your Green Forest. but I
understand he has quite liking for
the seashore I don't blame you for
getting out when he arrived. Who was
the other fellow?
Terror the Goshawk," replied
Blacky.
"I don't know him." replied his
cousin.
"You don't want to-" retorted
Blacky. They call him Terror and
he Is well named"
Funny, I've never seen him down
here" replied Fish Grow.
NO. it isn't funny at ALL" replied
Blacky. Terror lives in the woods
I guess he doesn't often come out In
the open. His favorite food consists
of Grouse. When he can't catch
Grouse, he hunts Rabbits and Hares
and when he can't get any of these
he takes what he can get. That is
why I didn't feel comfortable staying
up in the Green Forest. You needn't
worry about him, for he isn't likely te
come down here. This isn't his kline
of country"

Owl will stay up there with him." sale

CONTRIBUTES
TO MAGAZINE

Sidelights on the American po-
litical scene as viewed through
the eyes of native middle-west-
erner are the subjects of several
recent magazine articles by Glenn
Parson, son of Mr.. and Mrs. 3. j.
Parson of Redwood Falls.
Picture editor of the tabloid
Chicago Times, Parson recently
turned to political writing, re-
search for which brought him to
st. Paul this week. With his faith
er who went to- the city to meet
him, he interviewed Otto Brem-
er and other prominent Democrats
on their opinions of the Roosevelt
administration, planning to incor-
porate their views in a new ar
ticle.
"Real America" a periodical de-
voted to revealing the "inside
stories" of movements of vital in
terest, has accepted several of
Parsons articles, most of them de-
voted to North Dakota politics in
their more interesting and turbu-
lent aspects. For Me-" similar
publication has also printed some
of his work.
Parson has been with the Times
for a year, going to Chicago from
Minot where he managed radio
station. Growing up in the news
paper business, he was editor Of
the Grand Forks Herald before he
was II years old. He also worked
on the Fargo Forum and one sum-
mer reported for the Gazette.
