''Shooting robins for song-bird stews
cost Louis Salome, Castleton Italian, a
$40 fine last week"
This item was clipped from the Courier
last spring. From all appearances,
''song-bird stews" have been enjoyed in
Bethel since the sugar snow OF last week.
Not robins, but fiocks Of siskins, gold
finches, redpolls and Others, all OF them
song birds, and all birds that devour the
seeds OF weeds in great quantities are
with US this winter. When driven near
the houses by the deep snow, to ind
food, bang goes the gun, and the
sportsman goes out to the garden
and picks up his many tiny vic
timsl And this, not once, but several
times a day.
Shall this continue, or shall we save
our birds, not only for the beauty OF their
songs, but for the benefit OF the land
The law should hold good in Bethel, as
well az in Castleton.

perfection OF the fruit giving it an ar

admiration OF all who behold it and re-

with grapefruit filled in between in a

All in all, this without doubt is one
of the best fruit displays that we have

who see 1t. This exhibit reflects great
credit upon st. Lucie county and its
progressive citizens, and Is a great adj

as bright as she did in her exhibit at
