FOR HARMLESS SNAKES

If anyone had told our grand
| parents when they were young to
be Careful ana not hurt the snakes in
the garden, they would surely have
been suspected of some very violent
form of insanity. And now this ad-
vice is being given in all seriousness
and in many sections of the country
IS being needed.
Inc Literary Digest has published
very interesting article on this sub
Jcct, quoting all the best known au-
thorIties to prove that snakes, instead
Ji being mans worst enemy, are real
y among mans best friends. To such
an extent has this sentiment devel-
opei that there is widespread
movement on TO stop senscless de-
Struction at least of harmless snakes.
The reason is that snakes have been
discovered to be among the greatest
eXttrminaIUrS Of mice, rats, insects
and various other pests that prey on
1000 plants. The question is: Shall
we be deprived Of cultivated food
supplies by insects. siugs, rats, mice
and other pests; or shall we allow a
reasonable increase of snakes to keen

STAMFORD MAY VOTE BOND ISSUE Expect to Raise $1O0,0O0 in This Manner-Part for
 Schools.
Special te The Times.)

Stratford, Apri4 30.---An issue of bonds for the town of Stratford in the amount of s10O, GOO will undoubtedly be voted by the voters at a coming meeting and by virtue of this vote there will Tbe some money available for school purposes. Repre- sentative Elliott w. ePck of isis town has in troduced the bill at the legislature at Hartford for this bond issue and it has been favorab1y reported in the committee due to the good work of both MT Peck and Representative Ivan l.. Morehouse. The bill calls for 8 referendum and the voters must vote in favor of the issue before the bonds can be sold.
 This issue of bonds Is 10 provide money wor school purposes and no part of the subscription to these bonds can be used for any other purpose ex- cept new work on schools. It is ex- pected that at least one new school building will be erected and some ad- dttions made to other buildings. This action in asking for bond is- sue was necessary as the members of the Board of Finance have figured out that for the next two years there would be no money available to the Board of Education for the building of new school Buildings or additions
 
 the children attending the schools of the town going only one-haf time it WAS thought advisable to bond the town. The bonds will not be issued until they are approved by the voters
 who will be legally warned of the ac- ton.
 At the present time there are 200 children on half sessions in the Strat- ford schools and next fall the number
 who are only receiving a part of their education.

Those Pease Terms

Versailles, May 9. - Just
exactly what it means to
Germany to make peace with
the allies was the subject of
intensive study-for which
the Germans are famous-all
last night, with Count Brock
dorff- -Rantzau, In charge of
the class.
Dissecting and analyzing of
the text was the business of
the session, primarily, but it
was apparent this morning
that the work had an un-
usual effect in diminishing the
assurance-such as it was
of the students, rather than
their vitality.
Foreign Minister Brock
dorff -Rantzau today was pre-
pairing a full report, which
was sent to Berlin tonight by
special courier.
