local sportsmen and nature lovers
will be appreciated 'by the editor.
Last week we jotted down a few
notes on wild life and before we
knew it had a column. The re-
, sponse from many of our sub-
scribers who read it prompts us
to continue.

GETS HAWK
Game Protector Clarence Moss of
Wyoming county is responsible for the
following: William Brown, a fifteen
year old boy of Falls Township, saw
a hawk kill a Ruffed Grouse. Not
having a rifle he set three steel traps,
pegged the Grouse carcess to the
ground and in an hour had the hawk.
It was a Cooper's.
We will deeply ap-_
observations which
have of wild life in
- EXPENSIVE SPORT
© Those who have ‘a desire to shoot
protected game birds would do well
to study the experience of: Joseph Val-
of Pittston who was recently ar-
rested by Game Protector C. P. Moss
of Tunkhannock for shooting a Reeves
Pheasant. Valenti was fined $52. Be-
ing unable to pay the fine, Valenti was
commited to Wyoming county jail for
fifty-two days.
" BOB WHITE
In recent years there have been no-
ticeable ‘increases in the number of
Bob White or Quail in this vicinity.
Thse birds wintered well last season
and almost any afternoon their cheer-
ful whistling can be heard by resi-
dents of the upper end of Lake street.
At least one flock hag its headquart-
ers along Centre Hill road in the vic-
inity of Warden Cemetery. Often the
birds scamper along the dust of the
road there making a pretty sight as
they take to their wings in timid
flight. In Susquehanna county this
year petitions are being signed to have
the Bob White protected from hunt-
ing for a three year period.
STARLINGS
And speaking of birds, have you no-
ticed the flocks of Starlings as they
fly across the early evening sky com-
ing from the vicinity of College Mis-
ericordia to roost in trees near Hunts-
ville reservoir. As high as ten flocks
follow this route early every summer
evening. There are possibly a hun-
dred or two hundred birds in each
flock, The Starling is a relative new
comer to America but it apparently
does well here and has made many
enemies as well as friends.
RATTLESNAKES ON INCREASE
f According to the records of the
Pennsylvania State Game commission,
rattlesnakes are on the increase in
the State. More ‘rattlesnakes have
been reported killed by Game Com-
mission officials and local residents so
far this summer than in a number of
years. In large measure this, how-
ever, may be due to the dry weather
which has forced many of the snakes
out of their natural mountainous
habitat and down into the more set-
tled lowlands where. they can get wat-.
er,
PORCUPINES
‘E. E. Hove, northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, representative of the Valentine
Paint company, has his summer home
on a mountainside just below Lute’s
Corners in Wyoming county. He has
recently been doing considerable re-
pairing to the buildings, shingle sid-
ing the house. The porcupines in that
section either don’t like or like the
idea. At any rate every morning, Mr.
Hove says, finds a spot in the shingle
siding where the porcupines have
feasted during the night. But shingles
aren't the only things that porcupines
like to eat. A friend of ours recent-
ly reports seeing a grouse making
darts at something on the ground near
the end of a log. Upon examination
he found a porcupine eating the grouse
eggs from a nest under the log.
PLENTY OF RABBITS
An early evening automobile ride
from Dallas out past Clifford Spaces
farm and’ then to the right up the
hill to the old Whipp farm will con-
vince even the most skeptical that
wild life abounds near the shores of
Huntsville’ reservoir. A few evenings
ago we counted five rabbits sitting in
the road in a space of not more than
twenty yards.
ALBINO DEER
~ Few woodsmen or sportsmen in this
region excel Oscar Terry of Evans’
Falls in the number and variety of
kills made. One of his most interest-
ing trophies is the albino deer which
is mounted and stands in the window
of the store at Viola Park, Evans’
Falls.
Most Indian tribes used to have in-
teresting superstitions about albino, or
“white,” deer, and even yet most hun-
ters are proud if they happen to kill
one.
But however interesting because
they are in reality just ‘‘freaks,” in
the very worst sense of the word, and
a threat to the herd. White deer,
white mink, white robins, white crows,
“white blackbirds,” — with each an®
all of them Nature has simply “slipped
a cog” and they are not healthy in the
full sense of the term.
- Unfortunately, albino deer are rath-
er frequently reported in the Pennsyl-
vania herd, and as a consequence we
repeatedly hear of a spotted deer, or
“pinto,” as they would be called in

the southwest. The increase, if they
are, as 'seems, increasing, is due to
something abnormal in the conditions
under which our deer live and repro-
duce at present.
However much their novelty may
appeal to the layman, no biologist
would grieve if every ‘‘white” deer in
the state fell to a hunter's gun the
next hunting season — under proper
legal restrictions, of course.
ted cow may be all right; but a “paint
pony” is an abomination to the eye,
and in the west is always supposed to
be “meaner than Satan, his sire.” And
imagine a herd of “pinto” deer!

Geese aren’t the only things to
travel in flocks — Dexter Wash-
ers sell in flocks too. W. N. El-
liott and E. G. Hoffman of Wy-
alusing and Laverne Mack of

just a week ago.
The fellow with a silo full of
corn this fall will sure be on the
road to Prosperity. Especially so,
when both feed and milk prices
are raising. .Maple City and
Wyoming Silos are now ready
for shipment from the Honesdale
factory.
Have any painting to do? We
have several good colors left in
“Tru Val” to sell at $1.25 per
gallon. = We also have a good
gloss inside white for $1.50 and
Moore’s ‘best for $250. Both
Ben Fleits at Vosburg and
Claude Crispell at Noxen are do-
ing a good job with Moore's
best.
Lee Phillips will find that his
new low truck wagon will be
there to help with hay and har-
vest, quite a long time yet.
Proof that C, F. Fike likes to do
a good job, was brought out
when he chose our American
Lawn Fence for his place at
Springville. The American kind
gives you full value in both
