the suspicion Of the thought of third

conclusive words:

iteration OftIhe suggestion Of Il

John Clayton read in Tuesdays Eagle
the item concerning the large number
Of snakes seen going down with the Lit

theory for it He says the snakes OF
western Kansas are migrating to the
south and have been for the past two
years. Snakes" he said, ARE like you
and I and other people; when they don't
like place. they quit. What do we know
about them. Perhaps there is failure
or a famine of the things snakes thrive
upon Or there might be some kind Of
a snake plague in Kansas that they are
fleeing from. Don't you forget it, but
the snakes know what they are doing.
When I lived in Missouri we had a SIM
liar migration of snakes from the state
and they went down the Missouri river In
millions. Snakes are onto their Job; they
took advantage Of the high water and
the swift current to leave the country.
just as the trading ships of old took ad-
vantage Of the winds 70 strike out into
