April last, and Garden Plain is over
five miles from the Clinton bridge in
stead of two miles, as claimed by
some people. The trans-continental,
which goes to Clinton by way of the
Fulton bridge. and the scenic route di-
verge near Morrison II has been said
by some people that if the scenic route
is chosen the trans-continental will be
abandoned from Morrison to Clinton
and ours used because our route is
shorter.
This will not happen, because our
route is not shorter but is six miles
longer than the trans-continental from
Morrison through Garden Plain to
Clinton by way of Fulton and two
miles longer by way of the Clinton
bridge and practically all auto travel
crosses at Fulton, for the Clinton
bridge is not kept up, is narrow and
is really not safe for autos and is a
toll bridge
The whole OF one road and three
miles of another. between Hillsdale
and Erie on another route is covered
with the waters from Rock river for
weeks and some times for months ev-
cry year The expense of making a
| permanent hard road between these
two places would be enormous.
I On the booster trip to Sterling IN
March there was at least three feet
OF water on that stretch OF road This
statement may be verified by inquiry
OF your directors who were on that
! trip. Indeed the only way they knew
/ there was a road between those two
I villages was by reason of their seeing
the tops of two lines of fence posts
along the railroad No such conditions
Z ever exist on the scenic route,
Sunday. April %, the speedometers
on two Overland cars driven by non
interested parties showed that this
I road is only 50 miles longer than any
other route between here and Ster

by inquiry OF Horst & Strieter AutS

Speaker Clark said he had great ad-

The policeman is joshed about firt-

are a mighty brave and courageous

in danger, and they are not as a rule

NEW YORK, Aug 9.-Alfred G..
Vanderbilt laughingly denies the story
of the alleged estrangement of his Sis
ter, Countess Szechenyi, formerly
Gladys Vanderbilt, from her husband,
Count Laszlo Szechenyi, head OF the
ancient and honorable Hungarian fam
lily of that name.
A story has been circulated by many
people arriving from Europe to the ef'
feet that the countess, utterly disgusted
with the highhanded manner in which
her noble husband is reported to have
squaudered her fortune, had formulated
plans to divorce him, The pair were
married in 1908 and have two little
daughters. Alfred Vanderbilt said that
his sister and titled brother-in-law were
now at Surrey. England, where they are
preparing for most important family
event. He added that both the count
and countess were praying fervently
that the child would be boy who would
perpetuate the name of Szechenyi.

JAPANESE SOCIETY
IS FOND OF SNAKES
Reptiles Are Priced as Pets /;
Likewise for Food and
Medicine.

TOXIC, Aug. 9-To make pets of
snakes is the latest hobby Of japanese
society. Fashionable women are cul-
tivating a fancy for small and live ser
pents. They have about them the
harmless spotted keel-backs and striped
snakes, which are easily tanned.
The man who has done more than
anybody else TO establish this hobby
is Kiniiro Nakamura, who has been
engaged in the snake business for more
than twenty years, and who has a won
derful assortment of reptiles. The
most productive district for snakes in
Japan are certain mountain sections
near Toxic and Nikko. Here they are
caught in large numbers. Japanese
snake catchers drink sake before start
ing out to hunt large serpents so that
they will not be stupefied by the "poi-
sonous breath" of the reptile. A real
combat occurred recently between three
men and a serpent twenty feet long.
The snake poised its head about six
feet above ground, knocked two men
down with its tail, rendered another
unconscious by its "poisonous BREATH
and then escaped.
But Mr.. Nakamura has found other
uses for snakes. He says they are
popular as tonics for the digestive or
gans. and that some are used success
fully as a remedy for pulmonary con-
sumption. There is tho food question,
too. Nakamura says that the Japa-
nese viper is splendid as stimuIant
either in powdered form or eaten with
japanese soy. In the districts around
Nikko rice with snake fricassee is con-
sidered most royal dish. The viper
is also good as cure for stomach
trouble, if taken soaked in Japanese
sake.
