other small warbler. He is a de-

down sides of head and neck, olive

The Black Poll Warbler, the black
and white streaked bird with the
black crown, which moves leisurely
along the limbs of trees has come and
gone until the very last of Septem-
Der when he will come back for Oc-
tober before going further into the
south to spend the winter.
The Black Poll is about the last of
the warblers to migrate in the spring
coming to North Carolina near the
end of April, but always leaving the
state for his summer home before
June 2. He left Henderson this year
on May q, at least we have no rec

Why Protect Birds?
Departments of Agriculture, Depart
ments of Forestry and bird lovers all
have reasons This statement from
one Department of Forests Chief
will interest those who want to save
individual shade trees and forests in
general.
Secretary James F. Bogardus of the
Department of Forests and Waters re-
Gently urged the people of Pensyl-
vania to protect bird life during the
Spring and early Summer, as birds
are "the health officers" of trees and
tree planters.
The Secretary pointed out that with
out the assistance of bird life, forest
md shade trees would have a hard
struggle for existence. The total
damage to trees by insect pests runs
annually into hundreds of millions of
dollars, and birds are the greatest foe
of this onslaught. Wherever unheal
thy conditions prevail as the result of
insect attacks, birds are sure to dis
cover them and do something toward
remedying the situation.
Every part of the trees owes some
thing to its little feathered scaveng-

A bic silver dollar and little brown
cent,
Rolling along together they went,
Rolling along the smooth sidewalk
When the dollar remarked-for the
dollar can talk:
You roor little cent, you cheap little
mite,
I'm bigger and more than twice as
bright,
I'm worth more than you a hundred
fold,
And written on me in letters bold,
Is the motto drawn from the pious
creed.
In God we trust" which all can read.
Yes, 1 know; said the cent,
I'm a cheap little mite, and 1 know
I'm not big, nor good, nor bright.
And yet, said the cent, with meek
little sigh
You don't go to church as often as l.
