Augusta, Aug. 27.-What local
postofice authorities describe as the
most dastardly act ever brought to
their attention was made known here
today when it was announced that

rier had discovered a rattlesnake
coiled in mail box on his route near
Augusta. The lid Of the mail was fas-
tened down securely and red flag
was up indicating there was mail in
fthe box. Just as the carrier was
about to place his hand in the box
the snake moved his head and was
discovered and killed. The rattler
was more than two feet long and
had half dozen rattles. = .
Post Office inspectors are investi-
eating the affair, but no arrests have
been made. McCorkle states that he
is not aware Of any enemies on his
route who would attempt his life in
such q manner. L

EDITOR TOO. SMART
''Counselor" Finds Fault With Fort
Mill Times.

Editor The Times: All along have
, been your friend, but last week you
put something in the paper I did not
like. / don't believe in country edi-
tors getting smart and trying to
show off. You done both Of these
things last week and I.heard three
different people talking about it. One
said he would stop taking the paper
if it happened again. The second man
said he had not been taking the pa
per but had been borrowing his
neighbor's every week and reading
it and that he would not. even be
kind enough to you to do that again
if we all agreed that you deserved
the punishment. The third man spoke
up and said he had been getting the
paper a long time and that he was
glad he was way yonder behind with
his subscription-that he had good
reason now for refusing to ever pay
up. There are some things level
headed people ought not to. have
to stand for-condone, I mean. The
idea Of a country editor using such a
word as "unilateral" The chances
are you did not know what the word
meant. Of course I knew what You
were driving at. but that is another
matter; people expect me to know
big words But don't you get smart
asain-it Injuries your standing in
the community and hurts your pa
per. Now, but for this friendly ad-
vice, fear that pretty soon you
would have been spouting out some
thing about "hebetude." Don't do it;
found the word first.

The United States Patent Office

The United States Patent Office
recently approved and published in
the Patent Office Gazette a trade
mark covering the name Of the farm
of an Iowa farmer. Ledru C. Willis
the farmer in whose name the trade
mark was issued, is a breeder Of
purebred hogs, cattle, and sheep.
The name Of the farm as trade
marked is 'Hawkeye." To the States
Department Of Agriculture, Mr.. Will
Its is the first stockman, and prob
ably the first farmer, to obtain a
United States trade-mar..-- for his
farm. There is nothing in the law to
prevent it, but apparently no one
thought OF it before. If a farmer
uses his farm name and trademark
as part Of his selling operation in
disposing Of what he produces, the
trademark protects the owner of the
farm in its use in interstate COM
merce.
Several States have laws which au-
thorize the registraton of farm
names with the State authorities, but
q trademark registered by the Gov
ernment protects the use Of the
farm name outside Of the State in
which the farm is located.

Chicago, april 6.-The ratification
conference on the cooperative grain
marketing plan, submitted by the
Farmers Marketing committee of II is
meeting here today, for the most
important meeting of farmers that
the history of our country or any
ether country has ever known" in the
words of c. II. Gnstafson, chairman
Of the committee.
Details of the plan prepared during
nearly year of conferences to market
the majority of the farm products Of
the country under the most favorable
price conditions were submitted to
representatives Of fthe Varions farm
organizations behind the proposal.
The plan proposes purely and
simply for the farmer to enter upon
program Of conducting his own bus
mess of marketing" said Mr. Gustaf-
son. 1T is purely cooperative plan
offered in competition with existing
unsatisfactory methods of marketing
We believe that, while recognizing
and protecting the rights of the con-
sIming public, it insures the farmer
an equitable and just return on his
grain crops by effecting savings,
avoiding speculation, preventing
needless duplication of effort and
eventually stabilizing the market for
grain crops

FEDERAL AID FOR

Tells Grain Conference Marketing
Is to be Assisted to Sane Ex-

Chicago, April 6.-The department

While not discussing the commit
tees marketing plan in detail the ag-
r:cultural secretary said it appeared
to have profited by practical exper-
fence of the past and to have avoided
the weaknesses which had broken
down many previous organizations.
The committee, he asserted, was
neither to create a monopoly nor to
fix prices.
Calling attention to the current low
prices for farm products while "prac-
tically everything the farmers buy is
from so to 100 pei cent above pre-
war normals," Secretary Wallace
said, lit is not strange that thousands
