which to act to stop profiteering and
lower the excessive cost of living. I'm

ALLIGATOR HAS GOOD POINTS

Reasons Why Indiseriminate Kill.

The alligator Is another good citi-
zen whose usefulness Is overlooked,
for killing alligators has been from
time immemOrial popular pastime.
In Louisiana II was found that when
the alligators were killed off the
muskrats multiplied and destroyed the
levees; also the cotton-mouth moe
cas!n. the gartlsh and the carp in
creased wonderfully. Whereupon pro-
lection was given to the alligutors.
This lacertilian, to give him his cor
rect family name, has probably kept
the muskrat away from the South Car
olna coast, for the muskrat Is I'M
known on the coast. If allowed to
multiply the alligator will make in
roads on the carp. the gcrfish and the
cOtton-mOuth, all undesirable mem.

the alligator's evil doing amounts to
this: He catches dog now and then
once in long while pulls hog OF
bites the tail off cow, for suntlry
stump-tailed cows along the Atlantic
Coast Line right Of way have met
misfortune in this way. The COW, the
dog and the hog are out of place when
