But Young America stands his ground until absolutely cer tain the case is one in which discretion should be substituted for valor, and is reasured by a second look which shows the animal to be a creation of the taxi dermist's art. The cat is a part of a collection which will be on display at the li brary for the next two weeks, affording nature lovers and students an op portunity to view • at close rang^e. man.y_.interesting specimens of both native and foreign mamals. . One of the most interest- -ing—animals- in- -the - -collet? tion is also the smallest member of it — a tiny shrew. If any one doljbj;? the wisdom of the produc ers in selecting Mary Pick ford for the title role in The Taming of the Shrew\ he should take a look at this wee specimen and learn that in the matter of size the-ac$ress and the real _ shrew have much in com mon! As a matter of fact, the^flhrew is the smallest mam mal in North America, and also has the largest \temper\, for it Is one of the most vicious animals in the world. • Another member of the collec tion' whj eh arouses more than the .nsinal^nmount of interest is the \ was • kffle^W *ESaJbl ( and no one knows, how be . ar-; rived there: The' porcupine native in the Adirondack^ nnd the Ctetskflls^'lrat has neier.. been found in this locality .befpTe. The display* also includes the red squirrel, block squirrel. and.j grey squirrel, the Western lot squirrel, Southern fox squirrel; •and dying squirrel. The perlcy ' chipmunk completes the squirrel family: <•' Then there Is the king of \tall-steppers\—the Arizona jack rabbit as wejl ak our nwnJ snows hoe and cotton tail Vane-I ties. The homely woodchuck will probably cast his shadow across the table today, but of course, the fact is without weather sig- nicance^ as he couldn't see it, even if today were February 2nd. The collection also affords timid la dies an opportunity to overcome their fear'of mice, as It Includes both th& geldmouse and the white-footed -variation. The wea sel appears like a-model at a fur fashion show displaying a differ ent color for summer, autumn or winter furs! Likewise the \Least 'Weasel? struts his colors as only a midget cant Other honors are. shared by thewnink, ferret, rac coon, op*ossu«i,Tred*foxr'S '»y *«. and a diminutive sLt-weeks-pld sjKJcimen of the silver grey arls- toirafs .of \foxdom\.

A short time ago fear was ex pressed by the company's agent in this territory that no wells would be sunk here due to the fact that a large number of prop erty-holders were on the. \hold out\ list. At the present tim« however, many of those who de layed signing the leases have now signed and many others are ex pected to do so in the near fu ture, it was stated. The proposition as presented to tho land-owner is that in return for a lease allowing the oil com pany to control the property for a stated number of years, the company pays the owner a .rate \ \50c per acre per year and agrees that in the event oil is discovered to reimburse the land holder with an amount equal to the market value of one-eight of the oil derived from wells on the property. That oil is present in the vi cinity of Endicott Is the belief of company geologists who liave been making observations in this locality for the past 30 years. Their findings are based «tm the geological formation of the conn- try and upon their experience and training along those lines. They have stated that oil if frund here will be of the quality known as Pennsylvania, the best grade, due to the fact that local forma tions and possible oil veins are similar and m proximity to the famous wells of the state for which the grade 'is named. Among the many additional leases obtained Jn the town of Vestal since the last'list-was pub lished, are the. following and the acreage of each: John S. Hill, 150 Fred \A.

To be thrifty is not to deny yourself or family the necessities, the comforts and the pleasures of life. To be thrifty is but to estab lish the more important factors of life, family and community wel fare in an orderly program, and then to follow that program. Ail of which automatically brings about an honesty and a fairness in our human contacts which means happiness and prosperity for all.\ ANNUAL REPORTS OF LIBRARIES ANNOUNCED BOOKS COVERING MANY SUBJECTS AT IDEAL HOME KIDDIES AT HILL SIDE MAKE WORK.

Thos. A. MacClary, who assumed the duties of County Judge and Judge of Children's Court on Jan. 1st, has announced that it will be impossible for him to continue his practice in Courts of Record and therefore, he has arranged with L. W. Boynton to take over such work. Judge MacClary stated that he felt secure in turning over this business to Mr. Boynton as he had known him for 30 years and had a very high regard for his legal ability and personal integrity. Mr. Boynton will be remem bered by many people in, the Tri ple Cities as a former law partner with Benjamin Baker, now Broome County Surrogate, and later as a law partner with John Marcy, a former Corporation Counsel for the City of Bingbamton. Mr. Boynton is a graduate of Cornell University and his exper ience in law includes fifteen_yeaca (practice in the city of Bingham- ton where * he established an en viable reputation for integrity and ability. He was engaged in corporation counsel work in New York city for a period of eight years and then took up the same type of law in Miami, Florida. He has been admitted to the practice of law in the State and Federal courts of New York, Florida and North Carolina. Recently he has opened offices In the Union Trust Company I building in Endicott for general practice and will give particular attention to corporation and real estate law and the management and settlement of estates in Sur rogate's Court. Mr. and Mrs. Boynton have been living in Endicott for the past two months and plan *-o es tablish a permanent residence this village.
