RAISING RATTLESNAKES
Find There Is Good Living in a
Farm for That Purpose.

Farm for That Purpose.
The queerest farm in the Ozarks is
that of Miss Rose Ahern and her
brother, Henry. Several miles up In
dian creek, in the heart Of the rockiest
and toughest part Of the hills and
bluffs, this brother and sister operate
what they call their diamond rattle
snake farm" And, being in a neigh
borhood where snakes are plentiful,
they are doing thriving business.
For three years the Aherns have
been following this business, and they
will probably have 300 or 400 snakes
this season. They expect to do far
better than ever before, now that the
war has ended. The principal profits
come from the extracting Of poison
from the rattlesnakes, which is sold at
high prices to doctors, chemists and
others. Physicians use this poison,
after it has been prepared in a scien-
tlfic manner, for the treatment of cpl
lepsy and other diseases. It is known
as crotalin.
They also get a good revenue from
the sale of live reptiles to museums
and travelling shows. The established
rate is 2 cents a pound. A large, fat
serpent usually brings several dollars.
The smaller, poorer specimens are
killed and rendered into oil, which
has steady sale at 81 an ounce.

HOOVER WILL Spend
$n8,ooo,ooo IN Relief
100000 for Special Care to
Save Nursing Mothers and
Children.

In recent report issued by Herbert
Hoover, director general Of the, Amer
lean relief administration, announce
ment is made that the relief program
assumed by this organization will cost
approximately $178,OO0,O0O. This pro-
gram covers the relief Of Poland, Fin
land, and the Baltic states, Czecho-
Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Roumania and
Christian and Jewish Turkey. Two mill
lions of this $178O0O,OOO is being spent
for supplementary rations and special
care to save the children and nursing
mothers Of these nations. This work
is purely charity. The rest of the re-
lief work is either being paid for by
the governments themselves or is
being financed by the $1OO,OOO,OOO
fund appropriated by congress for
this purpose. This fund is used to
advance loans to those governments of
the recently liberated nations which
cannot offer the proper securities and
otherwise would be unable to pay for
the food they must have.
The American relief administration
has signed contracts with the various
governments that are in need to fur
nish them with food Of a fixed value
every month until their need is salts
fed. Already this organization has
sent for the relief Of Europe a total
Of 1,013,050 tons of American bread
stuffs, fats, milk, clothing, and sun
dries. The tonnage was divided as
follows: Breadstuffs, 826,329 tons:
fats, 107,436; milk, 25,O34; clothing,
1884; sundries, 46,717. In Jugo-Sla-
via, Czecho-Slovakia, and Roumania
alone, food to the value Of $54,OOO,OOO
has been distributed.
Although the need Of these coun-
tries Of relief from the outside is i'm
perative at present, it is thought that
most of them will be able to stand on
their own feet with the harvesting of
this years crops. The American re-
lief administration plans to withdraw
its support on July 1. With this end
In view, Mr.. Hoover has called upon
the various governments which are
now being helped to establish their
own machinery for the rehabilitation
Of their economic life.

Maine Soldier With Canadians Read
His Name There.
Milford G. Cakes Of Patten, Me-,
who returned home after a remarkable
record Of service in a Canadian ar
tillery regiment, had the experience,
near Cambria, of viewing his own
grave, with his name inscribed on q
rude slab over the last resting place.
he took snapshot of the grave as
souvenir.
Cakes was severely wounded sew
eral times. In one battle when he
was wounded he lost his identif1ca-
ton card. His jaws were shot away,
making it impossible for him to COM
municate his identity, and as he was
missing from his company his death
was finally reported. Some other SOL
der was buried under his name.
A surgical operation gave him new
jawbones, and today one has to ex-
anime his face carefully to find the
scars.
When young Cakes enlisted in 1914
he was seventeen, but his discharge
papers give his age as twenty-five
years. This is because he was so anx-
ious to enlist. that he raised his age.
Cakes has been cited for bravery and
has received a medal of honor.

STEEL PROPELLER FOR
use ON AIRPI 4NES
Prof. Morgan Brooks of Univer.
sity of Illinois Develops
New Device.

Morgan Brooks, professor Of cleo
trical engineering at the University of
Illinois, has developed a practically
noiseless, high-speed, steel airplane
propeller, intended for direct connec-
ton with the highest speed gasoline
engine, according to announcement at
Urbana, III.
A considerable loss of power is now
endured in the reduction speed gear
used in all but the smallest airplanes,
as airplane engines have a normal
speed greater than the two-biaddo
wooden propeller can stand.
This was Of special interest to Brig.
Gen. L. E. O. Charlton, air attache
to the British embassy at Washington,
who saw the models tested at the
university recently.
"The laws of air dynamics are suf-
f1ciently we'll known to make a test of
a model almost conclusive as to the
results to be expected from a full
sized propeller" Professor Brooks
said. AT the same speed the thrust

fourth power of a dimension, there
fore the pull of five pounds found on
test Of an 19-inch model indicates a
pull Of so pounds Of a propeller of
36 inches in diameter. The test was
made below standard speed, so a nor
NAL thrust would be obtained for a
practice plane with only SO inches d.
ameter, as compared to the 9~foot
spread of the planes used in Chanute
field, Rantoul, ILL.,"
The particular advantage Of a small
diameter would be the lifting Of the
landing wheels to position much
nearer the center Of gravity axis,
thus making poor landing much SAT-
er from avoidance Of headers, not un-
common with the present type of
planes, Professor Brooks said.
