THE WILSON OR JACK SNIPE THE SPORTSMAN'S TANTALIZE R, THE SNIPE, IS ONE OF THE FINEST GAME BIRDS OF THE MEADOW HUNTER AND ARE WORTHY OF THE BEST MARKSMAN'S SKILL. The^'witton's Snipe, often called the Jacksnipe or English Snipe, is to the meadow gunner what the woodcock or ruffled grouse is to the brush ■hooter. Some believe it to be the finest of all game birds, and it certainly is btter than many birds for ; the table. The bill of the snipe is«yery long : but not so heavy as that of the woodcock; eyes not abnormally large; • head striped with black and whitish; back handsomely variegated with ' black, brown and white; sides barred with black and whiteThe snipe frequents more open j country than the woodcock and is i found in marshes or along small open , streams. Like the woodcock^ they • often lie still and truJt to their colors and "freezing," to prevent their

being seen, but if they are observed they , are always on the alert -and are in the air instantly zig zagging away out of sight. Like the woodcock they secure their food by boring, the tip of the bill being flexible, so they can grasp their food -when they feel itTheir note is a sharp, harsh whistle as. they take wing. & The nest is a depression in the graKy edges of ponds or mafrshes; the eggs olive grey, marked with ' blackish. They * breed in the months of May and June. „ It's range 'is far and wide, ex- - tending over most of North America and northern South America- It _ breeds from Northwest Alaska, northem Mackenzie, central Keewatin and northern Ungava, southy to southern California^ southern Colorado, north- • ern Iowa, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey. Its winter, range is from northern i California, Arkansas and North Car- j olina through Central America and ! the Antilles to Columbia and south- 1 ern Brazil and locally to Washington, j Montana, Illinois* and Nova ScotiaIt is accidental in. Hawaii, B.ermud* and the British IslesAs the breeding season comes on ! the male snipe rises high in the air | and swings over the meadows in a: wide circle, sometimes nearly a mile I ' in diameter, sidling through the air every few rods and producing in some I way n' loud recurrent sound- Some- ! times this erratic circling is oontinu-j. ed for half ifn hour or more, and the sdund produced on a stjll evening can , be heard for -fully a mile. At the j end of the performance the bird dives 1 almost straight down to earth with [ vibrating partly " expanded, wings.' This is the so-called drumming of __ the snipe. In spring on the hreeding grounds the exhibition is most prolonged, energetic and varied, but in the larger meadows and marshes, : some drumming is done even in the fall in good weather- ■ - ! Despite the wide range of th« snipe 1 its numbers are never great, ^except i as It Ja bird of open wet lands, and the area of such lands is limited It '

f is rarely found on dry lands or ta j good woodcock grounds. It is not as | much a night bird as the woodcock,. I although it (lies in the night as w«U .as in daylight- River meadows, the | higher parts of salt marshes, and i damp grounds along small streams j are its favorite feeding grounds- ' The snipe, like the woodcock, has i an individuality ant^ is seldom seen « I in a flock. It .migrates mdftly at ■ ni v.t, but also moves' for considerable distances, in daylight It likes neither dry land nor too much waterOn a- still warm day the snipe will ; lie well fot the dog, but if the birds • are many dogs are of little use except for vctrieveing. Snipe shooting is ' fine practice for the beginner, providing he is not easily disheartened and enjoys the habits of birds as well as the eating of them- The. shoo ting j is in the open with none of the drawj backs of, brush hunting often attending woodcock shooting- The snipe, has n well-earned reputation for artful dodging or twisting- It rises from the marsh as swifty as a "blue rock" and if there is some wind its flight is wonderfully erratic. ?Ianv counsel the beginner to Wait for the bird to stop twisting before shooting. That depends upon the shooter's quickness. Like Blue rock shooting some are more successful of they fire as the bird rises- It takes lightninglike quicklfess, but it is the. more cer- i tain way on a windji day, for then i the birds are more jviid and rise at j long range- Hunting down wind we ' have, found to be the bettey method. 1 If the beginner is to be successful he ' should1 shoot every time a bird rises f within range- To be sure we •xpect he will miss most "of them the same i as we do but if he , continues shoot- 1 ' ing, one will run into a charge now | and then- And after all killing is only a -small part of the pleasures and benefits derived from out-of-door ! — ' ' THE PUBLIC SCHOOL , BAT BALL LEAGUE An innovation innovation In olement- ; ' ory public ' school activities Is county . bat ball league which has scheduled a ■ serleB of games for county champion- ; ■hip.

S — t do the telling. Don't misundersfand £ those boys in the S. 0. S. They % werent' back there because they wil- a led it so. They were necessary right c there and had important missions to c perform, for their Buddies on the -j front had to have food, clothing and j ammunition, and a big force was re- c quired behind the lines to relay the t necessities you were sending from ^ the United States, on up to the ac- v tive front But the boys in the S- O. c S. missed the actual contact with the Bosch; missed the fight against thfc " cooties, the/tuts and the trench mud, and missed that which made every man who was in . the front lined a j changed being forever; missed the thrills; missed that indescribable £ something that comes from facing ( 3eath every moment, over a space of £ time; that which made nerves so ® acute they seemed to penetrate the g skin and expose the raw ragged ends e elements and circumstances-, o No imagination and few pens can

was different and hardly two soldiers would give the same version of the r- same happening. Yet J.h rough it all 'y rftns a vein of the same impressions; s- the same feelings and the same in-' g describable change of being. The | " very fibre ot mental and physical y make-up. has "been through th4 toil]," hence the afmost morose silence, the greater irritability artd the i. peculiar restlessness-, of the ex-soldier- ^ ( Y'et there are many other interest--:e ing things to be tokl by the boys f -besides the scenes of the Hell of the s front that were worse than anything 1 !e Dant's pen ever described. So that if yoil- "listen in" to the conversation I- created by .the question, "Where. ; J were you,- Buddy, when the Armis- • " tice was signed?" yon trill learn. n, something of the ways of Europeans aii'! of the time when the A. E. F. ! f was an activp organization and a I foree to put down the rule of Might That question as the years pile up 1 I will have greater significance as will ; the observance of, the day. The i; "False Armistice Day" will be talked t over, too, along with the battles of the , » days preceding just as Bull Run and e ' Antietam and others are now 'the in- ; teresting topics when the boys of '61 ' j refight their battles of long ago. 1 I I Again in* time- tff come that perr j tinent, questjon, "Where were you on j ' Armistice Day?'.' i^gding to cause , i. some embarrassment when little^son , or- daughter, thrilled with' the passing j parflde of uniformed veterans looks ( b tip into daddy's face with the quesItion, providing dafldy hasn't some good answer tljat will satisfy. What Armistice Day hVeant theft i and now to -the boys in uniform only. each can .answer for himself- When Armistice came many did not- .know _ 1 what it was gpjng to mean and did j 1 not learn for some months after. To L many it meant returning to' that. best* of all places, Home, ami to home ' ; folks- Others had no one to return to, thankr^o war time condition-; To j j

I some R meant a return to tneir prewar position and cpmfortaWy settling down to formerly irksome routine I business wit£ added vigor. | "To, far too, many, it meant the return to a fan-flare of popularity and basking for an infinitestimal moment ; in' tiie sunshine of a hero-worshiping ' populace and. then the cold realiza- • tion that ever, a hero must eat and [ to eat he, must first, work- But even before working he must secure employment and there are a shameful number who are jet seeking a jobWhat a glorious thing it would be in the vra* of celebration if all the United Stirtes would celebrate Armis tice Day- by finding a job for the jobless ex-soldier and organizing to caVc for the helpless, maimed and sick exservice man. The condition <ft the who have been*1aid away with military honors is better than the condition of those Buddies of ours who gave their strength or limbs or to their country and yet live and need comforts and necessities, of life while unable to secure them for themselves. Armistice meant nothing to those lads. They have the worst of their lives now, and deserve at our hands nil we can do for their comfort and well-being. ■ All of the veterans are not seeking : employment- Most of th«m have lajd the Blue or ' Olive-drab, and donned the garments suitable to the I labor they have gone out and secured. They did not sit around waitfor the "Bonuses" nor for "Adjusted Compensation.". They were quick to see and realize fhe true state of affairs and "got in oiK of the wet" while the ink on their discharge papers was still drying. The majority even* before their feet Again touched the soil of the UnitedrStates reading the current news and from letters from the home folks that they had' to hustle over thp top for job, and the major part of them satisfied to hare it so. The American la<! has no use for charity, but is willing to go on his ■own. Those boys j need no help. are helping themselves.
