New JERSEYS Game Birds

Wardens of the New Jersey fish
and game commission last year locat-
ed and fed $50 coveys of quail, the
birds averaging thirteen to a covey,
and making a total of 11,076 birds.
There may be few coveys that were
missed by the wardens, but it is
doubtful whether these contained
more than 2000 birds. Besides these
there are 1900 or 1000 ring-necked
pheasants and few hundred Hunga-
rian cartridges.
All told there are not 10000 game
birds in the state.

THE SUPREME SACRIFICE.

Every American soldier whose life
was extinguished in battle in France or
elsewhere made what is rightly termed
the supreme sacrifice his life, a
youngs. life, for his country What
sublime, matchless patriotism, Add to
this, nobleness of character and COM
radship, as touchingly summarized by
his company commanding lieutenant
in the following letter, and you have

of Sergeant Homer Parkinson, whose
remains now glorify and make more

Dear Sir III is with sincere regret
that | write you as to the whereabouts
of your son Cpl. Homer Parkinson of
this organization. Cpl. Parkinson was
killed in action on October 18th, 1918, in
the sector northwest of Verdun. He
had been made Sgt. in the beginning
of the Meuse Argonne battle, October
4th, 1918. A better soldier, comrade
and companion than he was, is just as
hard to find, as it was for Diogenes to
find the truth with a lantern.
We fellows who knew him since he
first joined the company at Camp Doug
las. Wisconsin, miss him like we would
our best chum. Always cheerful and a
kind word for every one, we feel as
though it can't be the truth we feel
that God did wrong when He took him
from our midst As soldier, none could
beat Sgt. Parkinson. He was faithful
to the last, and he ended up his brilliant
work in the lines by paying the supreme
sacrifice, Ito make the world safe for
democracy.
Our heart goes out to you in sympa
thy. and our loss is second only to that |
of his mother, for it is the mother that
suffers the worst. Sincerely hoping that
these few lines will make the burden
easier to bear, | am
