There is nothing sensational about these visitors than that the egrets were at one time on the verge of extinction. ‘They are more interestâ€" ing in color than in habit.

If you have travâ€" eled in the western part of Lake county recently you have more than likely observed the many large white Ilmmthwudyl_sk-ndpondl. Before our government protected Egrets hundreds were killed annuâ€" ally, generally during the breeding season. Their long trailing crest and body feathers were prize adornâ€" ments for our ladies‘ hats. They were known as "agretties," party hats and wedding gowns were over feathered thus in a few years the demand was so great that the birds were killed by the thousands. Over a million and a half individual plumes were shipped to America from Venezuela in 1899. The huntâ€" er received good compensation for the killâ€"each bird‘s plume brought about 90 cents on the New York market. When the Egtets were nearly extinct a law was passed to protect them. ‘The little blue heron has no flashy plumes so that they are true residents of the southern states. The young,; however, miâ€" grate north in the early fall, then return south with the first sign of cold weather. Egrets Now Unusually Common The food of the birds consists chiefly of crayfish, vegetable matâ€" ter, frogs and some insects. Huntâ€" ers will have no right to molest the birds in any way. A severe penâ€" alty is always ready for anyone killing or otherwise disturbing these birds. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1938 I feel sure in saying that in DEERFIELD STATE BANK remain so.

Peach Crop To Be Within Reach Of Most Modest Purses At this year‘"s prices Highland Park housewives need not be withâ€" out peaches for dessert or canning purposes because a moderate sized crop is moving at figures within the reach of even the most modest of purses. This fact was brought out by & survey of officials of the cityâ€"owned market at Benton Harbor, Mich., where sales of peaches last year exâ€" ceeded a million bushels. They point out that for canning purposes the early/South Haven and Halehaven varieties are highly suitâ€" able, although many home canners have come to look upon the Elberta and the J. H. Hale as the ideal type. Following them will be the harvest of Smock, Salway and Lemâ€" on Free varieties, not to mention Gold Drops. Any of the varieties are desirable for slicing, pies, tarts or preserves. All of them lend themselves well to canning or makâ€" ing of peach pickles. With the conclusion of picking in orchards in Indiana and Illinois, Michigan treeâ€"ripened peaches come to the fore as the last major peach crop of the year. The crop is alâ€" ready being moved, much of it through the nonâ€"profit Benton Harâ€" bor market where fruit farmers last year sold their peaches to buyâ€" ers from 25 states. From Washington, D. C. comes the news that a large number of trees, now situated on private propâ€" erty in Deerfleld, will soon be transâ€" ported to Villa Park where they Deerfield Trees to Be Transplanted in Villa Park FHA H.P. 674 Deerfield Faculty Announced in Letter Sent to Parents This announcement was made at the office of Senator J.
