he says his name as clearly as that
little bird says his.
You can find him almost any place where there are trees and bushes. Walk out where you please and you will find the chickadees about somewhere. While we watch him let me tell you of at least one of the places where we have seen him. The place where we went most often, because we could get there in a few minutes
was along Old River.
Old River was not much of a river because only a little water came down that way when we visited it. A hundred or more years before, the whole river was there, but at one time when there was very high water, the river dug a bed for itself a little farther to the west, and has been going that way ever since, except just

work for us.
If you want a pleasure that is inI deed and in truth a pleasure, put up a feeding shelf at the window, or if nothing better put food on the window sill. Chickadees like nut kernels anti suet. When they have to find their own food they choose caterpillars and insects, but they are very

AT THE VONCAS i i.K A love story h aded with laughs— this is the new type of screen hilarity being dished up by 15u.-ter Keaton in Metro-tioldyn-Mayer’s “Spite Marriage,” a comedy production playing at the Voncastle Theatre Thursday and Fiiday. “Spite Marriage” is a comedy and a romance combined. The plot itself is just a romatic love story with a few thrills and a few sighs, even, and a great deal of human interest. Rut the way Buster plays every scene makes it one of the healthiest howls of the season. Among the thrills, which turn to laughs, are Ruster’s fight at sea with the rum runners, his accident when he swings head downward from the mast of the yacht in a hurricane, the wreck of the laumh engineroom, and others. In the theatre scenes Ruster breaks up a play when he trie- to become an actor and tangles with the scenery. Otln r comical details mark the action
I of this swift-moving little drama of perial at sea and behind the footlights. The new picture is a comical story ; of backstage theatrical life, with a m table cast that includes Dorothy Sebastian as heroine, Leila Hyams, William Reehtel, John Byron ami others of note. INDIANA TOWN’S STREETS ARE Rl'RIED t'.NDER SAND MILLER, Ind., Apr. 17. (UP) — Streets of this town are to be cleared of sand at a cost of $500. March winds have drifted sand to depths of four to eight feet at many points, and some streets are impassable. The town equipment was inadequate to deal with the situation and a contract for clearing the sand away has been given a construction company. A large steam shovel will be used in the work, which is expected to require two w'eeks.
to hid in in summer. It was a place where we could always be sure of seeing the chickadees among the other birds. My notes about our tramps tell me that whether we went there in the early morning, or in the early evening, or during the day, our little friends were there. Sometimes they w'ere singing.

and then fly with one to a branch if a tree is near and eat it there. Maybe it is only the larger pieces that they take to the tree for they will put it on the branch of the tree and hold it there with one of their little feet while they peck off pieces. They can crack sunflowers and hemp seeds, and like to eat them. I suppose be cause these seeds are just tiny nuts and the kernels inside are just as sweet and oily as the larger nut
