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

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.
