We are pleased to announce the publication of a new bird book, BIRD 

 GUIDE, which will be found advertised on another page. We have put 

 our best efforts into this book to make it complete, reliable and com- 

 prehensive, and the results have exceeded our expectations. It is just 

 the book that any bird-lover would like to receive for a Christmas gift 

 and it costs only fifty cents. 



Commencing with this issue, we will publish supplements of birds to 

 be colored. These should be of great interest to both teachers and 

 school children and we hope they will be the means of making many 

 new friends for the birds.
