ROCKVILLE, Md, March 1. 1911.
Within the last few days several fiocks
of wild geese have been noticed passing
over this section on their way north. Ac-
cording to the wiseacres their migration
is a sure harbinger of spring. and their
going north much earlier than usual is in
terpreted as meaning a very early spring.
A flock of twenty-three of these geese lit
near Potomac, five miles from Rockville,
several days ago and spent two days in
that Locality feeding ON growing wheat.
They were finally driven off by boys with
guns, none. however, being killed.

for the nomination so far are Alex
