Satisfied that the loss occasioned
by the Central school fire will exceed

engage COUNTY NURSE
SUFFICIENT RED CROSS SEALS
SOLD TO PAY ONE MONTHS
EXPENSES.

Sufficient Red Cross seals have al
ready been sold by the pupils of the
schools in the city and rural districts
to assure the retaining of a profess
sional public nurse in the county for
one month. Mrs. III. H. Holdridge,
who was chosen to take charge of the
distribution of the stamps here. said
today that she believed about 10,500
stamps will have been disposed OF by
tonight. The revenue from the sale
of 10, 0 seals, at | cent each, will
defray the expense of engaging a
nurse for a month. So generally has
the spirit of the movement imbued
pupils and adults that il Is now be-
lieved that a sufficient number OF
seals will be purchased TO make pos
sible the employing of a nurse for
two months, il is said.
1t is the intention to institute a
campaign to educate the children of
the county in infectious disease pre-
v~entative measures. The nurse will
lecture in city and country schools,
and will give personal attention
where asked, to outbreaks Of com
municable maladies. Much of her
time will. it is said, be devoted TO
teaching pupils the best methods of
guarding against tuberculosis and
contagion.
Airs. Holdridge today paid high
tribute TO the efforts of the young
salespeople and to the responsiveness
of the public.

WINTER SNAKE STORY
ONE MAN IN STANLEY COUNTY
KILLS As HIGH AS 80
IN ONE DAY.

Wheeler, Dec. 15.-Rattlesnake
hunting on a large scale has been the
unique amusement of a number of
residents of some sections of central
and western South Dakota this fall.
In limited areas in those sections of
the state, especially in out of the way
places, r~attlesnakes yet are mer
and thousands of them have been
killed during the fall months by
snake hunters who went to the rat
tlesnake districts for the express pur-
pose OF sending as many rattlers as
possible to snake heaven.
There have been many warm days
during the fall months and the bright
sunshine has tempted the snakes to
come out on the sunny sides of hills
and slopes in large numbers for the
purpose of summing themselves before
going permanently into winter quar-
tiers. In n remote section of Stan
ley county, west of the Missouri river
a ST. Paul travelling man, who took a
day off to enjoy snake hunting, in
day killed 240 of the rattlers.
The snakes killed by him. as well as
hundreds of others had taken advan-
tage of an unusually warm fall day
to lay in the sun on the southern
slope of a hill.
In the Pukwana territory, in the
Missouri river section of the state,
automobile loads of snake hunters on
several occasions went to the Crow
Creek Indian reservation, some miles
northwest of the town. where they
did good work in reducing the snake
population. On the Indian reserva-
ton are a number of prairie dog
towns, and the rattlers were found
there in large numbers.
The hunters on these occasions for
the most part remained in their au-
tomobiles, which were driven into the
center of the prairie dog towns.
From this vantage point they could
at their leisure shoot snakes to their
hearts content, the reptiles being
easily seen in the short grass sur
rounding the mounds of the prairie
dogs.
Snake hunters who ventured from
the automobiles were glad to get
back to the safety of the machines,
for scarcely would they step upon the
ground to shoot a particular rattler
than they would see snakes in front
and behind them in such numbers
that they were glad to beat a retreat
to the automobiles.
