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: •< * and off she ■ flew. — - 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, “I made that pie all right,” he said, nodding hia head toward the pantry, o b in R I guess it is a little overdone, but the inside is all right, I am certain.” Cases of American milk, bags of On the pantry shelf stood a pie al­ American sugar and flour and boxes most as black as Johnny Blackbird's of American cocoa are a tantalizing coat, but Mrs. Redbreast did not make sight to Russians as they are moved any remark.

HO M E TOW N Not so long ago the United Sta’teg brought back from England au rem ains of a man and erected a monument to his memory. 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.
