Simple Smof(s S)s' t thing that I hadn't realized before, that there are good birds and bad birds." "And the good Birds are your friends, and it isn't fair to treat "them unkindly for what the bad Birds do," added Peggy. "I've had my eyes epened," declared the farmer. "And now I invite all you good Birds to come to my farm, to make it your home, and to help me save the crops." "It will need a whole army of Birds to fight all the pests," said the Giant. "They have such a big start on us they'll have the crops' ruined in an other day." "My Birds," cried Peggy, "Vou will be an army in this cause. I call upon you. For America's crops, for Amer ica's, soldier boys,' for the right1 Who will join the army?" "We will, Princess Peggy," criid all the Birds. "We are ready to at tack the food Huns this instant." "Mr. Swallow, you shall be general. You're the best fighter I've ever seen." ' . "Just you watch us fight and grow fat," shelled General Swallow. "Pig eons and Swallows, you the swiftest flyers, speed east and west, north and south: call the Birds to battle. We'll have those Huns on the run ere set of sun."

"QJHAME on you, Blue Jay!" cried O Peeev. "Shamel Shame! .Shame!"-shrieked . the Birds. "Oh, I didn't know you were, here, said Blue Jay, as he saw Peggy and Farmer Dalton. Then he blustered to cover , up his confusion. "But don't care. We've just as much right to eat as anyone. ' s "But you haven't any right to eat what you haven't helped to grow, nor tos destroy that which someone else might eat, declared Peggy severely, JLhat s what I say, spoke up Farmer Dalton indignantly. Thats why I don't want the Birds on my farm." - "That's what we all say, all if us who are honest, and that means most of the Birds, shrilled Mr. Swallow, who seemed very angry, we are willing to earn fai more than we eat ; by helping to grow it. But Birds who are fair and square are given a bad name by such rowdies as the Jays Now we see why you think we are all enemies and nuisances, but we're go- ,. mg to show you that we will not stand for such conduct." He glared fiercely at Blue Jay, who glared de ' fiantly back and screamed a mocking taunt: " ... Goody, goody. Swallow boy, Mamma's pat and Daddy'a joy, . Mr. Swallow's feathers ruffled with rage, but his voice as he turned to Judge Owl was very calm almost too calm, Peggy thought. ' Will you please pass sentence, Judge Owll" iv judge Uwl drew himseir up very solemnly and looked at Blue Jay severely, as he hooted: x ' You've had your fling. Blue Jar; i You've shamed ua all today; !.- The price you now must pay, "That's all I have to aay. He paused then hooted abruptly "Go to it Swallow P' And Mr. Swallow went to it Like a flash he was upon Blue Jay. The , rascal took wing to dodge the at v tack, but Mr. Swallow smashed into him and upset him in midair.' Blue Jay went sprawling down among the Urioles and each took a peck at him. The other Jays flew to his aid, but Mr. bwalrow was a perfect fury and boldly . attacked the whole crowd, scattering them shrieking before him. Blue Jay freed himself from the Ori oles and bobbed up into the air. Mr. Swallow caught him and fairly made the feathers fly as he tore into him with beak and claws. Blue Jay lost all his sauciness and bluster in a hurry. He tried to fight back; for he was no coward, but Mr. Swallow was mad clear through. He was bound to give Blue Jay a thor , ough thrashing and he did it. He pecked and buffeted and clawed. Fi nally Blue Jay could stand the. punish ment no longer, and made off screech ing into the, woods. The other Swal lows now joined in the chase, and the Jays were quickly driven from ' the forest, with a sharp warning not to come back.' Mr. Swallow wis short of breath when he came back from the fray, but he hadn't lost a feather. He of fered a tardy apology to Peggy.
