YE EDITOR 



The latter part of March the editor, Mr. Barnes, 

 got much better and started to return to his regu- 

 lar work. A few days at the office however, over- 

 taxed his strength and April -Ith he suffered a vio- 

 lent relapse. For a time he was a seriously and 

 dangerously sick man. However after a consulta- 

 tion of four specialists it was again determined to 

 perform a second operation on the affected ear. 

 This was done and since then the patient has been 

 slowly getting better. At this writing, April 20th, 

 he is still confined to his bed but with a promise of 

 being permitted to sit up in a chair soon for a 

 short time each day. 



We are doing the best we can with The Oologist 

 in the meantime and crave the assistance of the 

 friends of the little journal who have its good near 

 to heart. We need copy, short notes, and will 

 truly ajipreciate all the assistance received, as it 

 is sorely needed until "Ye Editor" can again re- 

 sume his usual activities. — Virginia Lane.
