Editor, Publisher and Business Mgr The new Federal statute for the protection of game and migratory birds known as the McLean law, has become effective, taking precedence over all State laws of this character. It was failure of the State laws to protect the , birds from ruthless slaughter by sports and pot hunters that actuated the enactment of this measure. So far as aiding the States In the preservation of so valuable an asset, the act is to be welcomed, but the right of the Federal Government to intervene in what appears to be purely State affairs has been questioned. Congress based its action on the theory of inter-Siate commerce, showing that hunters often crossed State lines to dispose of their game. In support of the bill it w-as also argued that it would have a tendency to minimize the number of accidental deaths from hunting by removing from ameateur nimrods the occasion for carrying a gun. It would be well, of course, to accomplish such an object by any mean^, although this seems to be a rather roundabout reason for all such laws as the preservation of birds, some species of which . would otherwise rapidly become extinct.'

" ? ?*?t Strawberries the middle of October! Just think of it! We were shown three fully developed strawberries on last Wednesday by Capt. Hugh Knight Ti/Vt Vi u'ovn lir? hta carHon Next year Capt. Knight expects to go into the cultivation of strawberries, dewberries, etc* on quite an extensive 'scale. He has {now on hand three hives of improved honey bees, and hopes soon to make this industry one of profit, as well as pleasure. We hope that next season many of our citizens will engage in the cultivation of berries, fruits, melons, trucking for shipping purposes. The climate and soil there is peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of these things, and we believe a trial would convince any one?McBee Courier.

Hidden away in the national nm* seums and libraries, and zealously guarded are a number of priceless manuscripts and books which, but for a fortunate chance, might have be%n lost to the world. The chief treasure of a museum at St. Petersburg is the oldest known Greek manuscript of the New Testament, which wa? about to be burned by the monks of a Syrian monastery, when, by a lucky chance, one of the priests, struck with the antiquity of the manuscript, interfered in time to save wJwtf had been thought valueless. 1 ' , .
