had started too early from
the South that year. His little
wife told him so, but he would
not listen. “I suppose you want all
the nice locations to be taken when
we arrive,” he said to her.
So they arrived one morning, and
though the sun was shining, the air
was chilly, and poor little Airs. Red
breast sat shivering* on a limb, of a
tree, huddled against the trunk, while
her lord and master sat on the end of
a branch singing lustily.
“What did I tel! you?” said Robin.
"We are not a bit too early ; and now
let us find a home."
It was some time, however, before
the warm spring days came, but they
did, and with them the blossoms and
the leaves, and then the fruit began
to grow—cherries and apples and ber
ries and all the things that the robins
like to eat.
Robin was impatient. He wanted a
nice cherry pie, and when his little
wife told him the cherries were green
and hard he began to scold.
‘‘My mother used to make the best
cherry pie I ever ate,” said he, “and
I know she used to use them when
they were hard, because I used to
stone them for her.”
“Stone them !” exclaimed Mrs. Robin
with wide-open eyes. “Whoever heard
of stoning cherries for a pie?
My
mother never did. What did she do
with the stones—make a soup?” in
quired Mrs. Robin In rather a sarcas
tic tone of voice.
“Yes, she made a soup, now I come
to think about it, and that cherry
stone soup was the best I ever ate?”
replied pert Air. Robin, thinking that
was a clever idea.
“Well, will you make a cherry pie
today?” he asked.
“But, Robin, the cherries are not fit
to use yet,” pleaded Mrs. Robin, flut
tering about at the very thought of
sm ^ a thing.
“All right, I’ll make one myself,”
said Robin, bristling his feathers. "I
can make a pie as well as anyone.’.’
“ ‘‘All right, make one,” said Mrs.
R edbreast:

When she returned late that after
noon everything was covered with
flour—even Robin’s bill and wings—
and a strong smell of something
burned was in the air,

Not so long ago the United Sta’teg brought back from England

All th a t man ever cj.d to deserve such hoEor was to w rite a few
simple lines, “Home, Sweet Home.”
x
Home is where the heart is, and the home town is where the
home is The home town is w hat we, who live in it, make it When
you trade with U3 and we trade with you, all of us are building
the im est home place on earth. But when we send away for the
things we can buy at home, we are helping other people to build
th eir towns.
If all of us sent away for all thè things we need, who would
support our schools, build our roads, improve our stre ets’ But
why ask- such a question? There would be no town, and so no need
to r streets, roads or schools.
Suppose you look around the old home town and see if von can
get w hat you want at the price you -want it.
Lincoln said: “The money we spend abroad is gonè, but tbe
money we spend at home comes back to us.” Think it over.
