FEED THE BIRDS 



The wonderful southward movement of the migrating birds is nearing 

 its end. It has been characterized this year by greater numbers of many 

 species than have ever before been noted. Mingling with the last of these 

 come the winter wanderers and visitants from the far north. With the first 

 fall of snow these will be about our doors, vieing with the permanent resi- 

 dents in their interest in the insect life remaining in the shrubbery and 

 orchards and in such food as we now put out for them. Their work in 

 our gardens and on our farms has helped us win the war, it will help us 

 to feed the starving millions of the war-stricken countries in the year to 

 come. Let us help them through the bitter weather by feeding them sys- 

 tematically. It is at once a joy and a patriotic duty and it gives a zest to 

 the home life. The Audubon Society will gladly furnish full information 

 as to the best method of feeding the wild birds. 



CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS 



You can do some of your Christmas shopping early by placing an 

 order now with the Audubon Society for charts or calendars, which we will 

 mail postpaid to any address in time to arrive with the Christmas mail. We 

 will see that your card is enclosed if you send it with the order. 



The colored charts of the Audubon Society are decorative and enter- 

 taining and have high instructive value for old and young. Their use in 

 public and private schools, libraries and homes now extends to every state 

 in the Union and is rapidly increasing. The money received from their 

 sale goes into the educational work of the Society, of which the charts them- 

 selves are an effective part. The price is $1.50 each, $4.50 for the set of 

 three. 



The Audubon Calendar has twelve full-page colored plates of birds, one 

 for each month, by distinguished artists. It is entirely new and more popu- 

 lar than any of its predecessors. The edition is limited; it is going rapidly, 

 and orders should be placed early if copies are to be secured. The price 

 is $1.00 each. 



Can you not do a part of your Christmas giving in this way? 



The Audubon Society would appreciate the Christmas gift of a new 

 member. Have you not some friend interested in birds who would appre- 

 ciate the gift of membership? Membership in the Audubon Society includes 

 subscription to the monthly Bulletin, the use of the Moose Hill Bird Sanc- 

 tuary for study or recreation, opportunities to attend entertaining and 

 instructive bird and nature lectures, advice and instruction from headquar- 

 ters in all matters pertaining to bird life, and many other desirable privi 

 ileges. The price is $1.00 per year. Twenty-five dollars purchases a Life
