Our Little Fe0thered Friends

All winter an English sparrow and
his mate have had nest in the blue
spruce tree in front of our upstairs
window, 50 close one could almost
reach out and touch it. They have
been very busy chattering constantly
as they come and 60, working on the
nest which was robins home last
summer. They have been remodeEng
il and certainly have not improved
Il with the dirty bits of rags, ravelled
string and torn paper they have
brought in. Very untidy housekeep-
ers.
It IS the third day Of April and
am eagerly waiting for our meadow
lark, (our state bird) TO trumpet
spring with its clear sweet Spring
is-here, spring-is-here" announce
ment always made from the top
branches of our elm tree.
Our little feathered friends are
heralds of the spring time. Like
helpful gentle folk, we take them for
granted. How we would miss them
if some year they did not returnl-

IT WAS THE third Sunday in
March that flock of birds suddenly
descended on the trees in our yard.
Hundreds Of them cedar warnings.
Apparently they had raided bush
of its red berries, their favorite fare,
and were enjoying the treat. The
unusual fact was that among 80
many there was scarcely sound. In
commenting on this, bird authority
said that they do have their own
language which sounds like zeee zeee
zeee, extremely thin and fine, too
high to be perceptible to most ears.
Cedar waxwings are common IN
Montana. They appear unannounced
and 60 in the same manner. Travel
ing in flocks, they tend strictly to
their own business. Indeed they re-
mind one of group of children, tax
ing possession of the particular spot
and uninterested IN those around
them. On the other hand, they are
timid and easily frightened. The
crest on their heads, their particular
distinctive mark, is raised when the
bird is alarmed or especially alert.

due both to the persuasive argu-
ments of the young auctioneer and
the friendly rivalry of the audience.
It was sent by its purchaser to Nor
way. If we allow our imagination to
wander, some old mothers heart may
have been made glad because of a
far-away sons thoughtfulness. Such
can be the romance of a quilt.
The first auction sale was held be-
tween Christmas and New Years IN
1891, bringing in total of $3.50. One
hundred and forty dollars were used
to purchase an organ which is still
in use in the Melville church.
In 1945 Melville Lutheran church
celebrated its Goth anniversary. A
little rural church-what memories
it brings back to its more than 1900
membersl Its influence-who can
measure how far-reaching!

ST. Robin

Rollieking robin is here againl
What does he care for the April rain?
Care for it, Glad of It'll Doesn't he
know
That the April rain carries off the
snow,
And coaxes out leaves to shelter his
nest,
And washes his pretty red Easter
vest,
And makes the juice of the cherry
sweet
For his hungry little robins to eat?

Quilting Party
The old timers remember with
fond recollections the making of a
quilt. The members would gather
for a days quilting. Finally it was
finished. Into it had been stitched
much laughter, many happy associa-
tons and maybe even wee bit of
gossip, and over it many cups Of
coffee, much lefse and fattigmann
had been consumer.
It was put up for auction and sold
for sum Of $54. a princely amount,

Puzzled by Reactions.
In response to question how
he felt about the cattle being
kept from market, Mr.. Wilson said
he did not feel good about it.
But not being a cattleman, he
said, he finds it difficult to piece
together the reactions of cattle
men.
Some, he said, have indicated
that the Office of Price Stabiliza-
ton beef order is reasonable and
right and some have said 1t is
wrong.
Mr.. Wilson also said that any

ton Act upon which House and
Senate Banking Committees are
now at work, Mr.. Wilson said ii
would make the carrying out OF
the mobilization program more
certain II Congress provides the
changes which President Truman
has requested.
Mr.. Wilson said he probably will
go to Canada to discuss the $10-a-
ton price increase for newsprint
which Canadian paper mills have
announced. He said he has been
trying to ascertain for himself
whether the price increase can be
justified by rising costs which the
Canadians allege. He said he was
told that before the $40 rise was
announced it was regarded as so
important by the Canadian cabi-
net that the cabinet studied the
question itself and concluded the
rise was justified.
