was then told how the X. F. got
its name.
The meadowlark is adapted for its
life in the meadows by having the
color of dead grass on its back, brown
and yellow streaks. Its long legs help
it to hop thru the grass. They feed
entirely upon insects which are in
furious to the grass crop. It has been
estimated that $25 a year is saved IN
every township by the meadowlark
where grass is grown.
The king bird is fitted for catching
insects while flying by having httle
hairs at the sides of its mouth. and
by being able to steer itself quickly
with its tail.
The crow, which feeds upon rats,
mice and some corn, a a large bill
for this purpose.
Birds are most beautiful moving

birds leads to the love OF all nature

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT

The Atlantic Division of the Penn

tional cable strung from Camden to
Newfield, the work beng done by a
large gang of men. The roadbed of
the tracks is being put in better con

ever better service between Millville

that the present service can barely
take care of it. ,

MITCHELL'S TRIAL MAY 8th

Prosecutor Beckley has announced
that the trial of Alfred D. Mitchell,
former treasurer of Salem, will be
called next Wednesday. Because of
Irregularities in printing, a second
issue of 100000 school bonds was made
about ten years ago. Mitchell, as
treasurer, who had charge of them,
did not destroy the first printed, as
he should, but kept them and put
them up as security in banks for
money borrowed to carry on the
brokerage business. When his firm
failed, the holders of the bonds made
them known. About 100000 worth
have been recovered by Salem City.
The taxpayers will have to pay about
100000 in addition to the $4,000 of
the second issue.
