are we'll satisfied with the way in
which game birds have weathered the
severe cold of the winter. Those who
have had occasion to visit the fields
and woods recently assert that there
are many cartridges but only a few
quail. Whether the latter nave not
been as fortunate during the winter
pr whether the scarcity of the Bob
White of former years is due to
general depletion in the stock is a
matter to be decided by experts
There have been few quail here for
several years and it is impossible to
say at present whether there are few
er this spring than in the past two or
three years. Other game in this town
is slowly increasing. Squirrels are
more plentiful and there are more
rabbits than have been seen in years
at this season. The increased vigil
ar1ce of the game wardens has result
ed in great increase in the number
of protected song birds. Robins have
not been as plentiful at this season
of the year within the memory of the
older sportsmen. Blue birds are here
again but not in large numbers
Black birds, red wings and other mi
gratory birds have arrived The ever
present crow is heard daily, and the

NEW REGULATIONS AT
THE MEMORIAL LIBRARY.

Notices were posted in the pubic
library on Saturday afternoon of new
departure in the system of keeping
record of the books that are loaned.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
mark on the book the date the patron
took it from the library, making it
necessary for them to do some call
culating as to the time they might
keep it and the date it was due to be
returned to the library. And in case
it was held out too long, it made a
lot, of work on the part of the lib
rarian to compute the number Of
days the fine was to be paid for. Be-
ginning this morning, the books were
stamped with the date it is to be re-
turned to the library, making it inn
possible to hold a book too long by
mistake, and in cases where delay is
tain the number of days over the time
limit the book was held.
A new rule was also inaugurated in
connection with the loaning of the
back numbers of magazines. It has
always been the practice Of the lib
rary upon the receipt of the current
number of a magazine, to place the
back number upon the shelves for
loaning. Up to this date it has been
the custom to allow the magazine to
be kept the full two weeks, as any
book. 1t has been found that too
many persons are thus deprived of
the use of the magazine, before it be-
comes too old to be entertaining, so
beginning today all magazines are
loaned for one week only, and a fine
will be assessed and collected for
keeping any magazine over that time.
