A Plea for the Birds.

Ri'glht now is th'e time for the thoughtful boy and girl to think of the song bird® that have been your guests since the early spring. From some tree, in nearly every laiwn, a of fledglings are about ready to essay the first flight. You may be assured that your family cat is ready. By instinct and experience slhe is trained to be there. A relentless and cruel foe to the defenseless little things. By shutting up the cats few days or at least until you are (assured each little bird has had “his great adventurtf’ and is afble to fly, you will be repaid by the Increased number of birds to your lawn next year, and also by the (fact that you have rendered timely aid to one of nature’s greatest gkfta—R. Y. H. We have an excellent line of gasoline engines.—Hamilton & Kellner.
