course of his remarks said: ut is an
established fact that the sun is gradu.

the course of some 100000 of years
it will be exhausted; consequently
this world of ours will be dead and
like the moon, unable to support any

are apt to be puzzled by the unfamil-

of interest to learn that pair of mock.
ing birds are making Dr&bury their
summer home this year. They were
first noticed several weeks ago, when
they made themselves at home about
house in the southern part of the
town. The beauty Of their songs
brought neighbors to watch them. In
a few days they left the place, hav-
ing apparently found more to their lik-
ing swamp near by at the bottom of
an apple orchard.
Two enterprising nature students
spent an afternoon under tfnsse trees
and they were rewarded by abundant
opportunities for observing the birds
which left no doubt as to their iden.
THY. Their nest is probably in the
thicket of the swamp, but no one wants
to risk disturbing them by hunting for
it,. They have improved their visit to
the north by increasing their roper

several northern birds to the long list
of songs they already haa.-Bostor

and is in pitiable pligth. being a

being the cause has been agitated, but
it is significant fact farmers who do

development has been confined strict

and who buy meal and grits at stores.
