continued procrastination.
The mediators point out difficulties
in the proposition and the necessity
for careful consideration Of every de
tail. 1t may be some days before defi
mite proposals are made.

The First Snow Storm

The following composition is sell
ected from the work Of the Seventh
Grade, Newark Public School, after
the storm Of last week:
The first snowstorm OF the win
ter was on Friday, February 13,
1914.
During the afternoon the sky
had been dull, cloudy, and leaden.
1t had been so before and snow had
not fallen, so few needed it. The
snow began to fall as the children
were going home from school. l
thought, like others, that the snow
storm would soon pass over, but 1t
did not.
In the evening l, with my brother
went to hear lecture on George
Washington, given by Professor
Sparks Of State College, ePnnsyl-
vania. Despite the weather the au-
dience was quite large and the lee
ture was very interesting. When
we started home we found that IN
some places the drifts were several
inches deep. -.
During the night it rained a lit
tie and | thought the snow would
melt but it only put thick crust
on the snow.
The next morning the appear
ance of the town was greatly chang
ed from what it had been day be-
fore. The smooth lawns seemed to
have waves like the ocean and the
usually rough street was smooth
and soft. The posts, mall-boxes
and other objects had caps on while
the pavements were ankle deep with
snow.
On Saturday we made slides for
our sleds; on Sunday wished we
could slide on them, and on Monday
and Tuesday enjoyed the usual
sports of the season.

Feed The Birds

While everything is frozen up
tight and the ground is covered
with snow it is very hard for the
birds to find sufficient food. AS the
birds are one Of man s chief friends
because Of the service they render
him by destroying great quantities
Of injurious insects and weed seeds
it is the duty Of every one of us to
do our share in their protection.
The Board of Game and Fish
Commissioners and the Wardens Of
this State are actively at work feed
ing the birds at this time, but with
out the cooperation of the citizens
of the State they can reach COM
paratively few Of our birds. The
farmers and sportsmen Of this
State are especially urged, now,
while the ground is covered with
now. to distribute food to the birds.
A hand full or two Of wheat screen
ings will carry many a bird over
this severe spell Of weather. If you
know where there is covey of
quail, feed them, throw little
grain in some protected fence cor
ner or the place where the birds
use, and the birds will amply re-
pay you many times over.
If you cannot afford to feed the
birds yourself, send a bill with a
statement of the work you have
done to the Chief Warden at Dover,
and you will be paid for the grain
you have used in this work. If you
will apply to any Of the commits
sioners or Wardens they will glad
ly furnish the requisite food.
Do not forget the little song birds
feed them also. They destroy more
noxious weed and insects in proper
ton to their size than some Of the
larger birds, and it will do you
good in many ways to cultivate
their friendship.
