Say Stalnaker for County Super.
intendent.

Mr.. Gay Stalnaker, of
MT. Zion, announces his can
didacy in this issue for the
democratic nomination for
County Superintendent.
Mr.. Stalnaker was born and
reared in Calhoun County,
begun teaching when six
teen years old, and has
taught continuously ever
since, in 16 years having
taught % terms of school.
and all of them in Calhoun
County. His qualifications
are ample to fill this impor-
taht position to which he as
pires, and, as he has never
before asked for an office at
hands OF the people, he feels
that his lifelong devotion to
the principles of democracy
entitle him to some recogni-
ton at its hands. He re-
quested us to state that, if
nominated and elected, he
will never ask for this office
again if some man, born and
reared in Calhoun, and who
has not heretofore held
office, wants the place.

When your father comes home
all tired out from work, and
| your mother sends you to bed
early because she. too, is tired,
maybe the snake is to blame.
Anyway. that's what the Bible
says. Adam and Eve had the
loveliest kind of a time in the gar
den of Eden. They never had to
work until the snake came, and
after that folks had to earn their
bread by the sweat of their brows,
and it has been that way ever
since.
There are a great variety of
snakes in this world, some 1900
in all. The poisonous snakes are
most to be feared, and they in
lclude a number of varieties, but
1.-THE rattlesnake, which is thor
toughly American, is probably the
worst.
There are all sizes and all col
ors of snakes. You may have
seen the garter snake gliding
along in the field and in the
woods. Maybe you were scared,
but there was no reason to be.
These snakes are harmless, and
|if they weren't such ugly things
you might play with them.
You have seen snake charmers
in circuses? They tell you that
their snakes are the poisonous
kind, and that they had removed
the poisonous fangs. But don't
you believe them. They are tell
ing you stories.
Another thing, there are no
real vipers in America except on
the stage in melodramas.
Snakes have scales. Sometimes
these scales overlap like the tiles
on a roof, and sometimes they
are close to each other like the
tiles on a floor.
The snake also likes new
CLOTHES, and for that purpose
changes its skin every once in a
while. You may have wondered
fwhy the rattlesnake or the viper
doesn't poison its own food when
it eats, but nature, which looks
out for everything, has provided
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-12-06

for that. Poisonous snakes have
no teeth in the upper jaw except
the poison fangs. These fangs
are movable at will, and just nat
urally fold back out of the way
of food entering the mouth.
The snake has an awful time
Swallowing its food. AS a matter
of fact the snake hasn't much
Sense of taste and doesn't care
much for food, but knows that 1t
must eat in order to live. 1t
swallows things alive, even so big
a thing as a rabbit. The process
of swallowing one of these live
animals frequently lasts for hours
and hours, sometimes a day. The
head and throat stretch almost to
bursting, and when the animal is
finally swallowed the snake is so
exhausted that 1t is good for moth
ing for many hours, and only
breathes and breathes.
You may have heard someone
use the remark that so-and-so
Kisses like a snake. Snakes do
hiss. It's the only sound they can
make, and is made by blowing out
air.
A snakes eyes are funny be-
cause they have no lids and can
not be moved. There is no ear
visible on most snakes, but they
do have complicated inside APP
paratus by which they hear very
well. They like music, and the
snake charmers of India and
Egypt keep their snake pets all
coiled up in a basket. When

this is to sew it over a circle on a

stitches, and initiate the center of

Cardboard or stiff paper is suit

two holes on each of the sides,

Cut a square piece of paper for
the bottom, a little larger each

i A. touch of purple in ths~apparal

Chiffons in yellow tones -
changing from the deepest gold to
