HOPPING OFF NOVA SCOTIA
 TO MAKE ARCE NTINA

Amazing as are the recent flights of aeroplanes across the Atlantic aviat- ors must fly farther and do if more frequently to warrant literal ap- pellation of bird men" says a bull ietin of the National Geosra phic So- ciety which calls attention to the golden blower which summers in the Arctic and winters in Argentina
 The bulletin, based on a communi- cation to The Society by a, noted nat uralist the perennial aerial tour oI our great traveller as follows:
 This species nests along the Arc tic coast of North America, and as soon $ the young are old enough to care for themselves migration is be- gun. by a trip to the Labrador coast. where the blower fattens for several weeks on the abundant native fruits. A short trip across the Gulf of st. Lawrence brings it TO Nova Scotia, the starting point for it's extra ordinary ocean flight, due south to the coast of South America.
 The golden blower takes a straight course across the ocean and, if the weather is propitiouS. makes the whole 2,4o0 miles without pause or rest. But if tempests arise, it may be blown out of it's course to the New England coast and start anew the advent of fair weather; or it may rest for 8 few days at the Bermudas, one third of the way along It's course, or at the nearest of the Lesser Antilles. still 500 miles from the mainland of South America. These however. are emerg ency stop overs, :e be resorted to only in case of storms. Having ac- complished it's ocean voyage, it pass es across eastern South America to its winter home in Argentina.
 After a six months vacation here, the blower finds it's way back to the Arctic by an entirely different route. It travels across northwestern South America and the Gulf of Mexico, reaching the United States along the coasts of Louisiana and Texas. Thence it moves slowly up the Mississippi Valley and by early June is again at the nesting site on the Arctic coast. It's round trip has taken the form Of and enormous ellipse, with a minor axis of 2.e0o miles and a major axis stretching 5000 miles from Arctic America to Argentina"

OPENS PILGRIM CAMPAIGN
 IN WINDHAM COUNTY

The first local work in opening the Wind ham county campaign for the Pilgrim memorial fund was begun at Putnam on Wednesday. when a con- ference of the pastors of the Wind ham Congregational churches was held at the Congregational church. Rev. William $. Beard, dean of the fund campaign for Connecticut, conducted the meeting. He presented the pro gram of the campaign briefly, explain ing why the fund is necessary and what it's purpose is. It is primarily on the face of 1t. lie said. movement in behalf of the ministers. and in many ways the minister will be the first ben eficiary. It will help insure ministers Of a better living. old age without want. and will help them to do better work. II is even more. he said. for the benefit of the church. Some such pro- vision must be made or soon there will be no ministers. MT Beard cited in stances of the disparity of salaries paid for different kinds of work Chil- dren. he said. were getting E a day picking tobacco in the fields. amount ing after working for year to a sal ary of S1.300, while the average pay of the Congregational ministers is s1.200. Carpenters were getting s53 week for building houses, an even greater contrast with what the ministers get
 The war is not over, he said: it must be fought on by the churches in other ways than with shot and guns. and one of the ways is by means of better paid ministers. It is great task, he said. a real and taxing task, to raise this fund. The amount allotted to Connecticut means the raising of an average of s11 and more for each resi- dent member of the church. But five years are allowed in which to raise it. We can do it. he asserted we have got into the habit of doing the inlpos sible. We are going to do it; that is Connecticut's way.
 At I o'clock dinner was served in II | ta~ H., 1I. L--- %I,- 1, dies following which Rev. Mir. Beard spoke feelingly of the change which had taken place in this church in the death of it's pastor for e7 years, Rev. to his pulpit Of the present minister, Rev Boynton Merrill. Tis praise of the older pastorate was hardly greater, however, than his expectation of the new one.
 Rev MT Merrill modestly replied secondine all MT. Boards praises of his pred ecessor. and hoping he should he worthy of the hopes expressed for him.
 Those attending the conference were Rev. William NJ Brown of windhann, Fev. Frank T. Meachana of Easford, Boyntor Merrill Of Putnam. RevstMiIf liam FrylingNef Eauresan. Rev.
