GAME STILL
 AB0UNDS IN
 NEW ENGLAND

Boston, Dec. 15.- (By A P1- About this time" as the old farmers almanacs used to say, a frequently oc- curing paragraph in New England country newspapers reads somewhat as follows:
 '"The annual game supper was held last night. There was a large atten- dance and the hunters provided a bounteous repast."
 Although the wild turkey which set the style for Thanksgiving dinners on the occasion of the Pilgrims first Thanksgiving day three hundred years ago has disappeared from New Eng land woods, three centuries of hunt ing with firearms has far from exter- minated the wild life of the forests in this section. Even in the imme- diate vicinity of Boston. deer and ruffed grouse are seen occasionally, and squirrels hare and foxes are regu- lar inhabitants of suburban woodland. The pheasant, not a native game bird but introduced some years ago, has flourished in Massa chusetts and southern New Hampshire. Geese and an abundance of waterfowl pause on New England lakes and streams in their migratiOnS.
 Only in Maine does the moose per sist but bears, common in that state, are still found also in the remote sec tionS of the mountain country in New Hampshire, Vermont and western Massa chusetts. Wildcats are shot and trapped in considerable numbers every esason. In the fur-bearing cate gory raccoons, skunks and muskrats are still plentiful. and in the wilder districts mink and otter are not in frequently found The wolves are gone, it is only rarely that a panther is reported, and then with doubtful authenticity, and the dam-building beavers now are few.
 The rapidly increasing number of hunters has not more seriously de- pIeted the supply of game in New England is due largely to conserva- tion measures. For many years all the states in this section have enforced as strictly as possible the closed sea son provisions of the game laws. and in recent open seasons the bag limits on various classes of ga me birds and animals have been made increasingly smaller. Liceses also are required of all hunters, and in the case of non residents high fees are demanded

Owes Success to Love of
 Family and Strawberries

Three Rivers, Mich, Dec. 15.-(By the Associated Press) E. Beatty of Three Rivers who sturtled the horticultural world by laying s5O,00O in cash for the privilege of developing a single variety of straw berry admits that he owes his pres ant position as one of the acknow- legged leaders in the art of strawberry cllItu-~ to fondness for his family.
 Thirty years ago MT. Beatty sold oil pumps in the inter-n ountain and Pacific Coast states. He resigned to come back to Michigan and to the
 amily, although his business was highly remunerative. Interested in strawberries, MT. Beatty turned to their culture After 30 years in this business he has this to say: II de- light in developing or introducing a new variety of strawberry. Whatever success I have had is due largely to the cooperation between agricultural colleges and fruit growers.

In Loving Memory
OF Mrs. H. L. Pierce
MRS. H. L. PIERCE.

An inspired writer uttered THESE
words 1T is appointed unto men once
to die" So, while we stood at the
grave of this dear friend, with sorrow
ing hearts we were forcibly reminded
by these sacred words that she had
only paid that debt that would some
time be required of us; and in that
hour our only wish was that as she
tried and prepared herself, so may we
also be tried and prepared for that
journey to the country from whose
home no traveller ever returns"
She wanted to live for her husband
and children, but Gods will was SUI
preme in her heart, and as bodily
weakness pressed her feet toward the
brink, her spirit gazed across the
waste waters to better country, while
"She pressed onward, DER pathways
untrod,
Looking for the beautiful city, whose
builder and maker is God"
Her home life was ideal She per-
sistently and faithfully instructed her
children in the word OF God No ques-
tionable practice or worldly plan was
allowed to interfere with or supplant
their duties, and yet
"She knew what to do and say,
To drive with smile and a loving
word
The gloom of the household away"
She lived in deeds, not in years. Her
life has ever been an inspiration to
her community in whatever capacity
she has served. The interest of Christ's
kingdom lay heavily upon her heart,
and she was always ready with hand,
heart and substance to further its
prograss. The word Encouragement
was not to be found in her dictionary.
Her faith was strong and its tounda-
ton was Christ Jesus. She was a great
sufferer in bodily Affections, but pa
tient and willing for Christ's sake. Her
Christian life could not be eXaggerat
ed. 1t was her delight to honor her
Lord She was true and loyal Bap-
fist, a missionary indeed, a true and
loving friend to all her pastors.
About fourteen years ago she organ
lied the Woman's Missionary Society
in the Parrot Baptist church and has
always been a faithful, tireless work
er, using End Timothy, 2;15 as her
motto, looking forward ever to the
progress of the Lords work. For sew
eral years she had been a leading
worker in the Summerhill Association
and will be greatly missed in every
phase of the woman's work. A few
years ago she was given entire charge
of the young peoples work of the
association, and has succeeded in hav
ing it organized among the best in the
state. In the short while that she was
| their leader she organized thirty-seven
societies and was striving to have the
work we'll organized in every church
in the association. She was also the
beloved leader OF the Royal Ambassa-
doris of the Parrot Baptist church.
We lay this tribute OF love on the
new made grave, and will ever cher
| ish the memory OF our friend.
Wen catch the broken threads again
/ And finish what we here began;
/ Heaven will the mystery explain,
/ And then sometime we'll understand
God knows the way; he holds the key,
He guides us with answering hand;
! Sometime with fearless eyes well see
And there, up there, wen understand
