Welcome Robin. It was late in the afternoon that Welcome Robin chanced to stop in the tree under which lay poor, hurt Redhead the Woodpecker. Welcome Robin was feeling very happy. Every- thing was going well with him and with his family, and so he had to tell all the Great World how happy he was. He sat near the top of the tree and sang and sang and sang. And be- cause he was 80 happy it didn't once enter his head that any of his neigh- bors might be very unhappy. It often is that way with happy people. He had been singing for some time before he happened to look down. In the grass directly under him he saw something red. He couldn’t make out what it was. He stretched this way and he stretched that way, trying to see better between the leaves. He was curious. He wanted to know what that red thing was. Finally, he flew down on the ground a short dis- tance from it. Then he saw. “It is Redhead the Woodpecker." said he to himself. That is queer. I've seen him on the ground many times, but I never have seen him so still before. I wonder if he could have been killed. Oh, dear, I hope not. That would be dreadful.” ‘Welcome Robin hopped a few steps nearer, watching Redhead sharply. Redhead moved a little, “He isn't dead,” thought Welcoms Robin, and rejoiced at that. Then he hopped nearer. He saw at once that some- thing was wron “What i{s the matter?" asked Wel- come Robin. “]—I—I've hurt a wing and can't fiy, and I haven't had a mouthful of food since last night, and—and—I don’t know what is going to become of m replied Redhead weakly. T haven't enough strength to climb this tree.” Welcome Robin forgot all his hap- piness. He couldn't be happy and see neighbor in such great trouble. ‘Perhaps,” thought he, “if Redhea had food he would get strength enough to climb that tree. He would be safer there. 1 wonder if I could find him something to eat” He didn’t tell Redhead what he was going to do, but flew away over to- Epitome of Events Up to July 9, 192k Allles stirred to action by threat of attack on Constantinople by Turkish nationalists.

The local board will be unusually well represented and the delegation is leaving filled with the enthusiasm of the recent successful re-organiza- tion of their local board. They will now rank with the boards from the most important cities in point of or- ganization and influence, Secretary Potty points out. A proposition to change the name of the organization from the National Assoclation of Real Estate Boards to the American Realtors Association is being sponsored by & large percentage of the delegates from all over the country, but the local delegates are prepared to fight the question, as the local board is unanimously op- posed to any change of name. Mr. Petty will spend a greater por- tion of the time at the meetings of the National Association of Realtor Secretaries. This is a separate and distinct section of the convention, which is devoted entirely to the idea of developing and organizing boards throughout the country. This is an especial advantage to Washington just at this time, it is explained, in view of the fact that its board has recently been reorganized, and un- doubtedly much information will be obtained by Mr. Petty, which will be of benefit to the local organization. ward Farmer Brown’s house. All the way he was trying to think what he could look for for food. “He is a queer fellow,” thought Welcome Robin. “He eats things I don't care for myself. He eats all sorts of things. It seems as if I might find “I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO BECOME OF ME,” SAID RED- HEAD, MEEKLY. something he would eat. Perhaps I'll in Farmer Brown's dooryard.” Almost at once his bright eyes dis- covered a plece of bread. He cocked his head to one side and then to the other he studied that piece of bread. “I don't care for that myself,” thought he, “but perhaps he would. There i8 no accounting for tastes. I belleve I'll take it over to him. It won't do any harm, anyway. So Welcome Robin hopped over to the plece of bread, picked it up and flew back to the tree under which lay poor Redhead. He dropped the plece of bread In front of Redhead and flew up In the tree to watch. Redhead reached out and touched the piece of bread with his bill. His eyes bright- ened and he crept a bit nearer. Then he seized that plece of bread, and the ‘way in which it disappeared down his throat told Welcome Robin better than words could have how very, very hungry Redhead was. Redhead looked up gratefully at Welcome Robin. Once more Welcome began to sing. He sang and sang because of the happiness of having done something for some one else, which is the best kind of happiness in all the Great World. (Copyright, 1021, by T. W.

RIGA, Letvia, July 9.—The Congress of the Third Internationale, nearing a close at Moscow, has demonstrated, ac- cording to various European and American official observers in the Bal- tic, that the propaganda and agitation for a world revolution is to continue unabated, and that an accord now ap- parently = exists between the Lenin and Trotsky factions in Russia on im- portant matters of policy. From complete accounts of the speeches and proceedings of the con- gress, received from Moscow mews- papers and other official bolshevik sources, these observers are preparing reports’ for their governments indi- | cating, it is undersiood. that Trotsky and his faction probably will have a ! free hand to promote the internation- ale’s work of spreading revolution, while this faction, in turn, will sup- port Lenin's program within Russia. The seeming anomaly of the condi- tions under which soviet Russia will make compromising reforms while ail re.- formers or those who advocate a com- promise among the communists of other countries are threatened with expulsion from the internationale is explained by one of Trotsky's speeches, according to the observers. In this speech he said it was permissible to make reforms in a country already in control of the proletariat, such as Russia, but that compromises would | not be allowed by communists strug- gling for revolution in other countries not controlled by the proletariat. That Lenin came to the aid of Radek, Trotsky and Zinovieff on_the question of the expulsion of the Ital- ian socialists, while Bucharin of the ky group scconded Lenin's thesis and poli- opposed, is cited a's internal statu cies when Lénin v by the o support of their belief that a working agreement ex ists between the factions.
