METHODIST CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Dail have established an endowment for the Farmville Methodist Church. By their request the gift, the sum of $5,000., will be invested in government or municipal bonds, the dividends to be applied, when needed, to balance the annual budget.

RUSSIA KNOWS Hamilton, N. Y., Oct 24.—Dean Sidney J. French, of Colgate University, said today that ftussia knows everything about the atomic bomb except how to pot one together.

It is a great pity that we' must speak of this bird in the past tcn^s. Its disappearance' is but" another tribute to the effec-j tiveness' of modern fire-arms and the short-sightedness of the average American hunter. ' .. a- . In the seventies and eighties Eskimo Curlews, in countless numbers, came to the coast of- Massachusetts and they were plentiful in the Cardlirias, also. Their summer heme was in the northern part of North America. In autumn they would collect in Newfoundland, then from Nova Scotia launch out ovey the ocean for South AmericaMany of them never sighted land until they reached ..the West India Islands. Some howeiver were diverted from their course and landed on the Bermuda Islands and along the coast of the beaches of New England where Chey were mercilessly shot for food. In March. and April the great flights would appear on the shores of the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico where they passed another gauntlet of gun-fire en route up the Mississippi valley to northern Canada and on to their breeding grounds. They were of no special value to the farming interests for they did not feed on insects injurious to crops,' but they were of much value, as a food product and with proper laws enforced for their conservation the great flocks might have been scared indefinitely for - the pleasure and benefit of mankind.
