ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 20.-The
frog leg trust" is making desperate
effort to keep from croaking. AN
insidious lobby" organized to prevent
the Minnesota state legislature from
laying a closed season against edible
frogs, is said to exist with the back
ing of E. B. Nounenfeldt. Chicago,
frog leg king, and other frog leg
dealers under the leadership OF a
mysterious Miss McCarter" whose
announced mission in life is to edu-
cate Americans to the habit of eat
ing frog legs. The effort to kill a
bill providing closed season and a
$40 license for frog leg dealers. was
accidently uncovered when rival fac
tons working against the bill began
to attack each other at the commit
tee hearing today.
The frog leg trust is said to do a
business Of s25o,000 annually.

filth. One German bulletin board left
