The Chronicle's society editor has returned from a trip north where she visited Asbury, N. J., New York, Phil adelphia, Richmond and other places. She is loud in her praises of the won derful resources of this section of our great country and especially en thusiastic in regard to the beautitut scenery of New Jersey, the garden state of the union ? a name justly earned for the splendid cultivation of it green hills and fertile valleys. These are. dotted with towns and cities, beautiful homes and prosper ous farms. An automobile ride along the winding and historic Delaware is worth the trip even if you did not touch the great cities, the centers of trade and industries. It was like our April, the air as mild as a fairy's breath and amid the great flutter of many blossoms of varied hue. And the wheat fields! The breezes swayed them like sea billows and as beautiful as they were in their dress of green one could not help wonder ing what this must be in the golden harvest. It is certainly a section of peculiar beauty and healthfulness. Broken up into a series of valleys by the foothills and bisected here and there by independent ranges of small mountains, watered by numerous rivers and innumerable rivulets, highly cultivated it rolls its softly molded hills like waves of verduo down into the plains of the Delaware. We will not attempt to describe the beauty and charm of "Musconetcong Manor," the home of the Riddle family in which we were a guest. It is sufficient to say that it brought to mind picture of plantation life in the old South with all the modern comforts and conveniences added, and the hospitality was unlimited. Rich mond, is of course, the mecca for every loyal Southerner and never loses its charm.. Added to this in terest was the congenial companion ship of the host and hostess, Camden people and friends of other days. All in all America is a great country with its diversified climate and soil. The "lines have indeed fallen in pleasant places" to those who can say "My Country!" But this can only be done by loyal service ? by giving the best that is in us to our town^ county, state and nation. The Wulsen expedition sent out by the National Geographical society to the northwestern region of China re ports finding a blond, curly-haired Chinese people. As a result of his observations, Jack Miner, of Kingsville, Ontario, has proved' that birds return to the same haunt year after year, that i kindness will overcome the fear of ; the feathered folk, and that geese travel over the same route in migra tion at a speed of about sixty miles an hour.

For many years lately the largo I Bull estate in the northern part of I ( .iindcn. |ot|er known as Holly J Hedge, has been fenced ih and care- j fully guarded to pie serve the wild life in the enclosure. The estate abounds in springs, ilsh ponds and quite a for est, and coons, 'posunts, squirrels and quail are quite plentiful in this en* closure and have become so accustom ed to men around the place who have never been allowed to molest them that they are now unafraid. A gentleman who resides on upper Fair street told us yesterday that he had observed three squirrels at play in his yard, and others have Reported they are often seen in trees in that section. He believes that if these squirrels are protected 1hat it will not be long before they will be nesting in the many parks and private yards in Camden. He requests us to make a plea to the boys to refrain from shooting the little fellows, in which The Chronicle heartily joins, and would respectfully, Utge that parents ask their bo^s*\c> protect the squir rels. llobhins-Turner.
