to move the cotton crop caused COM
paratively little comment in the

The cotton growers are well off ct this
time. because, when they began to har-
vest the 1928 crop they could not get
credit and consequently could not sell
out in advance. Now the own the cot

for it. The outlook in the South ID

Dies MONIES. Ia, Sept. 8-A snake
story that ought to win a capital prize
comes from Scranton, la. For some
weeks people have been annoyed by
what they supposed to be a gang OF
hog thieves. Jacob Black, a wealthy
farmer living 10 miles north of here,
has been missing hogs from his pasture
and not until last week was he enabled
to locate the thief. One of his neigh
bors was coming through his hog pas
ture, which is a large enclosure in the
timber, when he was startled by hear
ing a hog squeal, and looking mp saw q
hog that would weigh about 200 pounds
In a coil of the snake, and the hoglifted
seven or eight feet from the ground.
The man for an instant was paralyzed,
as he was only about 40 steps from the
serpent. The snake seemed to pay no
attention to the man, but after smash
ing the life out Of the hog very l~eisurely
wendell his way to the river and went
over the bank. Allie Griffee, a reliable
man and a farmer, saw the monster.
and when he saw it it was surrounded
by a lot of young one After the mon
ster crawled away he killed two of the
young ones, which are about eight feet
in length and covered with small scales
something like the scales of a fish, only
coarser.
Several men who were hunting his
snakeship found him burrowed in the
high bank of the river. There are
holes there in the bank which are about
10 inches in diameter, and the snake
had crawled into one of these holes,
and while his tail was %protruding from
the hole which he had entered some
three or four feet his head was protrud.

feet from the first hole.
They describe the monster as being
at least 10 feet in length. They say hii
and the body in the largest places
about 10 inches in diameter.
Sunday a large company turned on
to see his snakeship. A company o
men made an excavation in the banl
and found many signs Of the monster
but he himself was not there. Their,
were the bones of hogs and young cattl,
and a portion Of one young colt.

WASHINGTON. Sept. Sept. 10 10 the
date fixed for the hearing Of the Mime

for the point involved 10 whether or
not the interstate commerce commits
sion has power to compel a railroad TO
obey its order.
AT present Duluth. which is 80 miles
further from terminal Eastern points,
gets a rate on wheat and -four at the
same rate that Minneapolis and st.
Paul has to pay. The interstate COM
merce commission ordered the dis
elimination stopped, but the only road
that obeyed was the 500. District At

point where q final determination must
be reached. While Minneapolis, being
a great flour and wheat center, Is more
concerned in the outcome than St
Paul, the principle involved is the
same, and the freight rates on mer

accused of altering their names than the
Irish. Thus, Crehan has become Rehan;
