Squirrel Builds Nests.

In the South, instead Of living in the
hollow trees, the fox squirrels build
big nests in the top Of the pine and
other trees-usually Of Spanish moss,
says the American Forestry Magazine
of Washington. In these they sleep,
also carrying to them the pine cones
just mentioned. In the hardwood for
ests of the North, dry leaves take the
place Of the Spanish moss, and con-
spicuous nest is built with an entrance
hole at the side.

pose of rendering a smashing blow
at liquor law violations in this Sec
ton of the state, the Mercer county
grand jury has just found three hun

against some sixty persons. The in
dictments were returned at a spe-
cial session called of the jury by A.

prosecutor, to present evidence he
has obtained during the past few

gagged by the prosecutor to run down
the violators, who are understood to
be saloon and hotel keepers and bar

county.

so, there is need for a rigid enforce
