But no sooner are the eggs hatched and the ducklings about the size of bumble-bees, than each parent bird takes a little one in its bill, wriggles through the opening in the. chestnut tree or white oak which harbors the nest and, with a quick glance lest some enemy may lurk near, flies swiftly overland to creek o rwater hole. Here the two tiny bur dens are dropped gently into the water. .-.Without previous swimming les sons, these newly hatched mites dart over the surface of the water for the cover of marsh grass or lijy pad where they hide until the return of their parents with more of their brothers and sisters. The flight of the old ducks con tinues back and forth from the home nest to the water until the family of from 12 to 18 are assembled, when, at a soft call-rfote from the parents, every little paddler darts from cover and starts chasing water spiders, a.-? if that were an old game.

Library Notes The people have been showing ? keen interest in this important vo cational institution recently and ha^e been responding: graciously to the plea for a 1925 membership roll. The inclement weather* seriously inter* fered with this however,^and mem bers have not j^een seen. If you are one of that number, will you not cull at the Library and leave the annual fee of $1.00 at the desk? You cer tainly could not make a better in vestment for the welfare of youv town for the future enlightenment refinement and culture of its citizen* .ship. Is a public Library an asset7 Is it a public benefactor? If you can answer these questions in tho affirmative it is your duty as a citixen to stand four square for it and at least give the endowment of your name on the membership roll. If you answer the questions in tho negative, well you differ fronf all the great minds in every walk and voca tion in the past and present affairs of the world. Think seriously about it and we feel sure that a dollar will not t>e big enough to obscure your vision to what a public library means to Camden and its people. Many of the overdue books have como in ? please look them up in your homes and let the good work go on.
