Farmer Places Snake
In Field; Ask Public
Not to Disturb Him

James II. Collins says In a bulle-
tin just issued by the public infor-
nation bureau of the United States
Food Administration:
"A Kansas farmer recently print
ed the following advertisement in a
newspaper:
Notice. have put bull snake
! in my alfalfa field north of town to
catch the gophers. Please do not
bother him or shoot at him, as he
is a good, we'll behaved snake Sand
harmless except to gophers and
mice
"Whereupon eastern newspapers
clipped it as a piece of humor.
But there is a very definite food
| saving idea here. All over the
country we have harmless snakes,
capable of rendering the utmost
service, provided they are left alone.
But even country people find it diff
| flcult to let harmless snakes follow,
unmolested, a snakes legitimate
business.
There is a certain big black snake
throughout the East common in
fields and around farmhouses. He
is not only harmless but whenever
one sees him about the premises he
is diligently at work catching mice
or cleaning up refuse. But he looks
deadly enough to the inexperienced
eye, and, moreover. has an unfortu-
nate curiosity. When he hears n
horse coming down a field row
hitched to cultivator, guided by a
boy. his natural desire to know
what is coming leads him to raise a
quarter of his length from the
ground and take a look, and nine
times in ten the boy stops the horse
and virtuously slaughters Mr.. Snake,
thus killing a mouser capable of
catching far more rodents than any
tabby cat.
1T is the same with hawks and
owls. The owner of flock of mems
sees an enormous hawk sailing over
tire bd1nyaid and brinys it down
with a rifle, believing that he has
destroyed an enemy.
Likewise with owls, which are
most persistent destroyers of small
animals harmful to crops and food
stuffs. There was a campaign Of
owl and hawk killing through the
East some years ago, which went far
enough to upset the balance of ma
ture locally and bring on a perfect
plague of mice. When disease re-
duced the number of coyotes in the
| Northwest, some years AGO. the
farmers joy at what they considered
relief from n pest was soon turned
into alarm, as a plague of jackrab-
bits and gophers followed, the chief
| food of the coyote.
"If the snakes, owls and hawks
were able to write and vote they
would probably undertake a cam.
paign of education on their own be-
half for bette- public understan andinp
or seek protective laws in Congress-
AS man is the only writing and vot-
ing animal, 1t is clearly his duty to
understand the snakes, owls and
hawks. With understanding will
come intelligent protection"

Los Angeles Realizes $1O0
a Day From the Sale
of City Garbage

According to an intere sting division
made by c. o. Bartlett, a Cleveland
engineer, our American cities are as
the wise and unwise Virgins, for
some of them recover value from
their garbage by modern reclama-
ton methods, while others dispose of
garbage by burning or dumping.
In a letter to the Manufacturers
Record. Mr.. Bartlett states that
Los Angeles, under a contract With Il
corporation, receives 81 cents a ton
for all it's garbage, averaging about
500 a day for the last three years.
Fertilizer worth S12 to SIS a ton,
and valuable for its potash, amn.on-
ia, and lime phosphate, is used on
the orange groves around the ,ity
while the grease recovered is sold TO
a Los Angeles soap maker and made
up into a special soap that finds
ready sale in Mexico.
Garbage grease is one of the chief
sources of glycerine, containing IL
per cent, and the war demand for
has caused the price of
garbage grease to increase from 4
to II cents a pound.
San Francisco burns its garb Ige,
and in doing so destroys $500 a day
in precious values, and many other
cities and towns are doing
the same.

SPROUL IS NOT
A FACTIONALIST
Delaware Senator Says That
He Wants to See the Re-
publican Party United

Senator William G. Sproul declared
last night in the course of some in
terviews given at Philadelphia that
he would not seek the governorship
OF Pennsylvania as a factionalist and
that his hope was to see the Repub-
licans present a united front next
fall and elect Republican Legisla-
ture and send a big Republican dele
cation to Congress from the Key
stone state.
The Senator hit the nail on the
head when he said that the Repub-
licans of the state want to see their
party in harmony, especially this
year. The Senator has evidently seen
the signs of an approaching row of
real dimensions in the Democratic
Party in Pennsylvania, and noted the
manner in which Democratic newspa-.
pers have been helping along Repub-
lican quarrels.
Il am the candidate of no single
faction" he said. Il am asking the
nomination from the entire Repub-
lican Party. Just as Senator Ware
said he was friendly with me, so have
l been friendly with him for many
years. And, furthermore, l believe
the masses of the Republicans of the
state desire to see their party in per-
feet harmony throughout the Com
monwealth.
Therefore. it is a worthy ambition
to seek the nomination of a united
