\A?iot/ier Gfirl Who Did Valiant Work 



LrTLE marjorie lloyd of Antigo, Wisconsin 

 secured more than ioo pledges, embracing in 

 all nearly ten thousand acres, and this under cir- 

 cumstances that indicate she has the true spirit of 

 young America and is a worthy member of the 

 Green Meadow Club. Extracts from her inter- 

 esting letter follow : 



In obtaining my pledges I walked in all about 50 

 miles. One accident occurred which put me back a 

 little. I was bit by a dog who left the mark of five 

 teeth in the front of my leg, but I got over that 

 nicely only it made me a little afraid of other dogs. 

 One day I made three trips with father in the big 

 wagon to Doering, and he would stop and wait 

 while I went into the houses along the road, and I 

 got seven pledges signed that day. One day I 

 rode seven miles with the mail carrier and walked 

 back stopping at each house on the way. You see 

 we live fourteen miles from town and I had to 

 cover quite a little ground in getting around. The 

 work has been a real pleasure and a pleasant pastime 

 and besides helping the birds, I felt I was doing a 

 very little bit towards my country. We all want 

 to do patriotic things. 



YOUR SCHEME FOR BIRD SANCTUARIES THROUGHOUT THE 

 COUNTRY SEEMS TO BE A GOOD MOVE. I HEARTILY APPROVE 

 OF ANY PLAN WHICH HAS FOR ITS OBJECT THE PROTECTION 



of our birds. — John Burroughs.
