one of the most ornate species of duck
in the world, rivaling the Chinese man.
DARN in the brilliance and variety OF
it's markings. 1t is also of peculiar
interest because it nests in hollow
trees and has a peculiar musical note
not at all like the quack of other ducks.
It's tameness had at one time almost
brought about the extinction of the
wood duck, but the United States bio
logical survey and other agencies in
favor of game preservation brought
the fact to public attention. In many
states the wood duck was protected for
long term of years, and it is undoubt-
edly increasing at the present time.
The wood duck is so unique and such a
striking ornament to woodland streams
and ponds that there is strong senti-
ment in favor of protecting it for all
time and not regarding 1T as a game
bird.
bird of the snipe family, which lives in
dense. wet woods. 1t is chiefly famous
for the very fine quality of its flesh.
and for it's anatomical peculiarities
These latter include eyes set fairly in
the back of its head, so that it may
watch the approach of enemies while
it is busily feeding, and beak with a
prehensile tip, a sort of miniature pro-
boscis. by means of which it gets a
grip on the slippery angle worm and
pulls him out of the mud.
A strict diet of nothing but worms
makes the woodcock an extremely
delicate morsel, appreciated by epicures
the world over Furthermore, he has a
swift. erratic fight, which makes him
one of the most difficult marks, so that
if given a fair chance he will prevent
his own determination. In fact. wood
cock are now reported increasing in
many sections.
These examples show that the exter-
mination of species may be prevented
if public sentiment is aroused in time.
The growing interest in all outdoor
sports will probably save many other
American game birds from destruction
by creating general appreciation Of
their value.

sylvania, New York and adjacent states.
This eastern prairie chicken was
known as the heath hen," and was at
one time thought to be practically eX-
tinct. The birds were protected, how
ever, on the Island of Marthas Vine
yard, off the coast of Massachusetts,.
and there are now about a thousand of
them upon this preserve. There is
probably no other bird in the world
which has such a limited range.
About twenty years ago, giant
woodpecker. known as the ivory-billed
woodpecker, was comparatively CON-
mon in the swamps and forests of the
gulf states. This bird was over foot
long, shiny black in color, with strik-
ing red markings and white bill
which gave it it's name. The ivory
billed woodpecker has been practically
exterminated for no other reason than
that it's large size and striking mark
ings attracted the attention of every
gunner.

EXTINCT AMERICAN BIRDS
By Frederic J. Haskin.

A statement from the United States
biological survey. contradicting the
rumor that it was willing to pay $10,-
900 for a nest and eggs of the Ameri-
can passenger pigeon, has recently at
tracted attention again to the mysteri-
Gus disappearance Of these birds which
once existed in immense f1ocks through
out the eastern United States.
The determination of the passenger
pigeon, like that of the buffalo, is
rather classic: but few people are
aware that quite a number of in
teresting and valuable American birds
have disappeared forever. The SEEM
ing1y inexhaustible abundance of Amer
lean wild life in the early days led
to a careless destruction which has
reduced countless fiocks of some spe-
cies to a few stuffed museum speci.
mems.
The skin of Labrador duck, once
a favorite of New England sportsmen,
is now worth from thousand to
twelve hundred dollars, and a living
specimen has not been seen for nearly
forty years. The last Eskimo curlew
on record was killed in South America
about year ago. The Carolina par
rakeet, the only North American spe-
cies OF parrot which once ranged in
great flocks from Florida to the great
lakes, was represented a short time
tivity. An offer Of $1,000 by private
individuals, mentioned in the recent
government statement, failed to bring
forth a single specimen of the pas
senger pigeons nest.

William NJ. Wheatley, the Democrat
ic candidate for Assembly, is before the
voters of the county fairly and ~squarely
on an excellent platform. 1t is a plat
form which rings true and earnest, one
made to be enforced if it lies within
the possibility of the candidate to do so.
Such a candidate on such a platform
deserves to be elected by an almost
unanimous vote, drawing the support
of all parties. Mr.. Wheatley gets owe
Salem, Gloucester, Cumberland and
other counties in his personal business
and he knows what the farmers want
and what the fishermen and gunners
want as well as the desires of the lab
oring men. He is opposed to the gun
ners' license laws, the present unjust
taxation laws, the costly automobile
reciprocity laws. He is thoroughly in
sympathy with the laboring interests,
with a more business-like administra-
tiion of State, County and local govern
ment and is opposed to the centraliza-
-tion of power in the State Board of Ed
ucation and State Commissioner of Ed
ucation.
He believes that the local authorities
know better the needs of their COM
munities than the State officials in mat
ters of education and he favors legis-
lation which will give the local Boards
of Education more power and the State
officials less. His arguments are sound
and true, he is sound and true and the
people of Salem county can not possibly
make a mistake in sending him to rep
resent them in the Assembly.
IJo will oI1nnnpt thA nracnnf nnNorn1

to maintain our present freedom of
ballot and freedom from the control of
the corporations is to send Mr.. Wheat

people are aware of this and that the
