THE JUNIOR LEAGUE

•OCIKTY won PRBVKNTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS * 1 will try to maks any animal I have in my care very happy.”

Dear Boys and Girls.— I wonder how you like the cold morntnfs when you have to creep from hed and turn out to either Tog or frost. I don’t like it at all. There Is one comforting thought, however, we can pile up a nice Are and so keep warm, and by the time we have had a good breakfast we don't ao much mind the cold outside. Then, too. the brtlltant sunshine after a very cold night Is our compensation. *o\r that the cold season K here I hope all our Junior League members have thought about the birds. If you ha\e not already done so. fit up a little bird table In your garden. Just a post driven Into the ground and a board nailed on ihe top will answer the purpose. Birds are often afraid to venture on the ground lor food, especially hear a house, as there are cats about. As well as your bird table It is a

■ rood Idea to hang bits of suet or fat meat t n a tree, the fat helps to warm the birds. > This morn!n? I had a big- piece of fat • meat. I tied a piece of string round It ? and hung It on a tamarisk tree Just by my * back door. In a Tew minutes two little r rantalls were very busy reeding from It. l Two of these charming little birds come into my kitchen every morning linmedti iteiv the doors are opened. 1 feed them and they are becoming quite tame. Do » all you ran for the birds. God created : hem to be a Joy to us. He must love t them and treasure them, because the » I ruble tells us lie knows even IT two snar- » i rows are gone and »o we, too, should love > and treasure them. There are many tasks > which are beyond the power or girls and . boys, but caring for the birds Is something s you a!l can do. —Good-bye. i TINKERBELL.
