lot of people would starve to death.
I can tell you that! Usually Mr..
Sun gets busy at once and melts the
ice on the twigs and branches of the
trees and bushes and on the weeds
that are sticking above the snow.
But if it takes him more than day
to do it there is a lot of suffering.
That is why a lot of us always come
up here to Farmer Browns. We

Sammy Jay nodded with great
vigor. IF everything is covered with
ice as it is now you'll find plenty to
eat," said he. TT may not be right
here, but you'll find plenty over by
that apple tree to which Tommy Tit
brought you this morning. Farmer
Browns Boy will see to that. There's
no need for anybody to go hungry
around here. What's the matter
with the berries on the cedar trees
over in the swamp? Have you eaten
all of them?"

Winter?"
Welcome Robin nodded. Sammy

you've got plenty to eat" said he,
you're not quite so sure about
wanting to be in the sunny South
land, are you?"
Welcome Robins eyes twinkled

Now, putting that good food in
their stomachs was like putting
coal in stove when the fire is low.
You know just what would happen,
the coal would burn and make more
heat. just as the food made heat
in those two chilled little bodies
and in very little while they had
forgotten that they were cold. Sam

them, chuckled.
Funny what a difference in the

night"
Il suppose so. 1t is the warmest
place we know Of" replied Welcome
Robin. Then he shivered as he
thought how the cold had cut
through him as with empty stomach
he had flown up to the Old Orchard
that morning. He hated to think Of
doing it again the next morning. He
wisely made up his mind then and
there that he would try to find a

1t wasn't long before they discov-
cred that inside that carriage shed
there was no snow and there was
no ice. 1t was warmer in there than
among the cedar trees. On the
rafters they would be quite safe from
enemies.
"We1l stay right here tonight"
declared Welcome Robin to Mrs.

they did just that very thing.
And that was just what Farmer

Welcome and Mrs. Robin wasted
no time talking after Sammy Jay
invited them to join him in the feast
spread in front of Farmer Browns
carriage shed. They needed that
food and they needed it right away.
They were weak as it was and the
cold seemed to 60 right through
their coats Of feathers. But now
that Bully the English Sparrow had
been driven away by Sammy Jay
they didn't need to fight for their
food. In fact, all they had to do
was to pick it up as fast as ever
they could, and you may be quite
sure that this is just what they
did do.

FALL TAXES
EDUCATE l6,lOO

The Iron Horse figuratively pulled
thousands of Washington boys and
girls through school last year.
A recently completed rail tax allo.
cation survey in Washington by the
Association Of American Railroads
showed that:
About 81 per cent Of the taxes
paid by railroads in the state in 1898
more than 4 IL million dollars
went to support public schools.
Railway taxes for school purposes
that year were sufficient to finance
the education Of 1900 Washington
boys and girls. (The average per pu
pill cost of public education in the
state in 1937-3S was $104.)
Since 1900 governmental subdivis.
ions in Washington have received APP
proximately 173 million dollars in
taxes from the railroad.
Railway fares also finance improve
ment and maintenance of Washing

al costs of state, county and loca.
governments.

been owned and operated by the Fed,
eral government during this period,
said the association survey, "the state
and its county and local governments
would have been deprived of this i'm,
pcrtant source Of revenue, and the
nearly 173 millions collected in taxes
from the railroads would have been
assessed against home owners, farm
ers and other taxpayers
"The withdrawal of taxes now paid
by the railroads, if they were owned

would have the effect Of increasing
by substantial amount the taxes OF

practice of burying belongings with
deceased was abandoned about SO

be discovered when Ball and Dodd,
Spokane undertahers, holding the
government contract, remove another
800 to 400 remains between the Spo.

Remains are being found in hori
