constructed of bark strips, grasses,
leaves, felted plant-down for the
outside walls and a springy mat
tress Of thistledown. Nests have
been found as early as June and
as late as September. And should
the builders find that time was
the essence Of getting ready an old
nest OF some neighbor will be con-
ditioned by adding 4 heavy link of
down.
From the pale bluish-white, un-
marked eggs will hatch the small
canary-like infants whose capacity
for food is unbelievable. Later in
the season, after their downy coat
has been replaced by a deep brown
plumage with wing-markings of
pale brown, they will resemble their
mother to great degree.
During the days when the mother
must guard the eggs and young
the song has changed from high
glee to being quite personal in its
appeal. To hear it at this time is
to wonder how it can be mistaken
for that Of any other bird. For no
other calls so lovingly "Tic-o-ree.
o-ree, o-ree" with many variations,
until the listener hears distinctly
"by-by ba-bee."
Until the nuptial colors are put
on the males are clad in olive and
are often mistaken for the females
or young. In large f1ocks these
birds gather in fields and seedy
marshlands where they find some
OF our most determined weed pests.
AS spring approaches the new,
fresh plumage colors replace the
somber ones Of winter.
The American goldfinch, known
from ocean to ocean, is our friend.
Through the winter he seeks the
seeds Of our most flourishing weed
foes. and when this type of food
has vanished he turns his attention
to eliminating cankerworms, plant
lice. small beetles and grasshoppers.
Many call this friend the thistle
bird. He does love this plant. For
its seeds are much enjoyed and its
down Is used for furnishing the
nursery. 1t is Of interest to examine
the many seemingly perfect thistle
seeds always found under the plant
after the goldflnch has gone. At
first glance each seed is apparently
untouched. But a closer look will
show how cleverly q slit was made
in the shell and the meaty kernel
extracted. Ragweed seed is also
a favorite among them. So it should
be our great pleasure to protect
these birds in every way possible.
Hay fever victims especially will be
grateful for their ragweed appetite.

Minnesota has for her State bird
one OF the most beautiful little
birds with charming manners and
canary-like song. Nearly all bird
lovers admire the goldfinch and
never one have we heard find a
single fault with this family bird.
AT one time the goldfinch, because
OF its song and color, was known
as the wild canary, and sad to tell,
was laced in a cage.
The male is brilliant yellow with

song, according to DR.. Chapman,
who is an authority, is delivered
with an ecstasy and abandon which
carried them of their feet, and
they circle over the field sowing
the air with music" Could words
give us clearer idea of the beauty
Of the mating song of the goldfnch?
These birds are among the last
builders of nests in the spring,
though they are neither lazy nor
procrastinating. Truth is, goldfinch
babies must have their bassinet
lined with thistledown and this
does not arrive in its perfection
until quite late in the season!
The nest is placed in the forks of
sapling or bush and some are found
in a sturdy group of blackberry
stalks. You never know whether
the snug little nursery will be close

Still Together in

DETROIT. Dec. .tUPD - In
their home town of Petoskey, Mich,
the four Horniman brothers were
known as the four muSketeers.
Today Max. 25, Neil, %, Bruce, 81,
and Keith, 10, are at Great Lakes
Naval training station preparing TO
fight the JapS. They came into
the Navy recruiting station here
yesterday, applied for enlistment
and were accepted.
We've always done everything
together" said Max, the spokes-
man. When this Pearl Harbor
Harb0r thing happened, we didn t
even ask each other. I said I was
going into the Navy and Neil,
Bruce and Keith just followed suit -
Recruiting officers sighed: Too
bad there aren't six or eight of
them"
There are" piped the brothers.
They explained that George, the
eldest, is arranging to join the Navy
and Mel, IA, is waiting impatiently
until he can enlist too.
Max summed up the all-for- -one
philosophy of the brothers. Back
home, he said, when anybody
licked one of us he had to tackle
the rest before he was through
fighting Now that goes for the
JapS.

ourselves of the proper procedure to fol-

regular schedule of buying Defense Bonds
or Stamps, and return as nearly as we
can to our normal way of living
Now is the time to trim the Christmas
tree, to make the traditional plum pud-
ding and fruit cake and carry on the Gus
tom Of the giving of gifts which had its
inception on that Holy Night nearly 1000
years ago. Above all, let US keep faith
with God. There we will find unfailing
comfort. Let us attend church as we al
ways have, or perhaps a bit more regu-
larly, remembering always that while
we may choose our own religious faith,
such freedom of worship is to Hitler,
Of all things imaginable, the most hate
full and the most desperately to be fear

We have need of comradeship and good
fellowship. We can go on with our plans

ones walk in the valley of the shadow
