ALWAYS AT WAR WITH CROWS Rarliest White Settlers in America Offered Bounties for the Heads of Obnoxious Birds. \ The crow was on the American continent when white men settled here. He had lived on terms of amity with the Indians, and when the whites came he admitted them to his acquaintance. He thought they were his friends and he believed that they set out wide fields of corn for his edification and entertainment. He accepted what he mderstood to be the white man's invitation to eat newly planted and freshly sprouted corn. In this he erred. - ' 1 rri.A^A He misjudged tlie wnite man. mt-se early settlers fuund fault with the habits of the crov and among the old statutes, especially those of Marylard and Virginia, one finds offers of bounties for the heads of crows. There were also bounties for the scalps of wolves, foxes and bears and the heads of squirrels. In 1728 the Maryland council and assembly enacted that each taxable person in the colony should bring in each year fliree heads, or scalps of * crows, and the same of squirrels, and for each additional crow or squirrel scalp should receive two pounds of tobacco! Statutes having the same aim are found in the law books as errly as 2680, and other acts with revisions and amendments are found up to and following the American Revolution.

Beneath tne tali end oi rn main stick is set vertically a rudder?; fin of wire net covered with fabric The frame of this fin is a heavy win bent in the shape of a U, its two end befng stuck up through the main stick j Attached to the rear end of the mail stfck is a horizontal tail-plane.
