The Nebraska Ornithological Association is now 

 an assured fact, the balloting for temporary offi- 

 cers is now taking place; the result will be noted 

 in our next issue. 



Some of the large daily papers are helping to 

 popularize ornithology, of course some of the ar- 

 ticles may be taken with a grain of salt, but in 

 the main they are of value. The New York Sun 

 contains some bird notes in nearly every issue. 



The collecting season is about over now, better 

 write up some of the 'finds' that you have made 

 this season and send in to the Hummer. 

 AVe especially desire articles that are susceptible 

 of illustration. 



Some of the plates to illustrate 'Life History of 

 the Chickadee' were accidently spoiled, the next 

 installment of the article will appear just as soon 

 as the new plates are finished. 



Owing to the short time that elapsed between 

 the date of last issue and the time that prize ar- 

 ticles should be in, we have extended the time to 

 Sept. 15th., see notice elsewhere in this issue..
