Do those parties who amuse
themselves shooting "bull- bats
or whip-poor-wills, know they
%transgress the law with each shot
they fire at these harmless, inof-
fensive birds? Being insectivo-
rous, the law protects them. And,
anyway, gentlemen, the taking of
life for mere "sport' is damnable.
Because of the fact that a picnic
is to be given at Des Arc on Sep

the saltcellars, but will break the
Jumps of salt and gather the mois-
ture; thus the salt is always dry
and ine."
