KILLED BIG RATHER FRIDAY

While putting out poison in
prairie dog town on the Daniel Per-
shing farm a few miles southeast Of
WaKeeney on December 31st, the
peace and contentment of mind of F.
ID. Wonner and H. E. Tripp was sud-
denly disturbed by the buzzing sound
of rattle snake in too close prox-
unity to them to be of any comfort.
The big fellow was curled up in the
sun few feet from a prairie dog hole
and objected very seriously to having
his midday siesta disturbed by the
presence of man. The snake was over
three feet long and had seven ratt1es.
He was as vicious any rattler is
during the summer and Mr.. Wonner
and Mr.. Tripp had to keep away
from him in order to keep from get
ting bit However they killed him and
brought him to town to offer evi-
dence that they actually saw rattl;
snake on the last day of the old yea
Whether this snake indicates a cor
tinued open winter is not known but it
is known that the winter SO far has
been very warm and pleasant Some
are predicting that poor wheat crop
year will follow an open winter but
the soil and crop are now in first class
condition.

issued 88 marriage licenses during
the year 1920, which is about double
the average number issued annually
highest number ever issued here in
one year
The high cost of living doesn't
seem to worry the young folks and
even some of the older people don't
appear to be scairt of it. Fools rush
in where angels fear to tread Our
understanding is that angels never
marry.
OF course it all depends: There are
angels that marry but lots of 'em
don't stay that way-angelic.
But 80 marriage licenses issued in
twelve months is nothing to boast
about Some counties in the state is
sue more than that number in one
month However, every little helps:
1920 for the county and $44 for the
state.
Referring again to the cost of liv-
ing: Rummaging over some old
papers, bills and receipts one evening
recently we dug up and account rem
dered~ back in the eighties and among
other items we found these: ssTo one
pair of kip boots, $3.50; to one pair
of shoes for wife, 1925
Styles change, as well as prices
Who ever hears of kip boots any
more?
The total precipitation (including
| melted snow) at WaKeeney during
| thesyear 1920 was 1913 inches, which
is about two inches below our aver
age rainfall. The bumper crops 'of
| the last year were owing in part to
| the tine1iness of the rains that came
and IN part to the fact that our rain
| fall in 1919 was about eight inches
| above the average
/ Having a very euphonious cogno-
men, himself, the dictagrammer is
much inclined to take note of unusual
or odd personal names appearing in

! most striking names observed are

That Heat and Motion of
Motor Will Be Utilized.

Boston, June 4.-Predietion that

Jr. =
Discussing carburation at the grad
uating exercises of the Knights of
Columbus automobile school Mr..
Edison said he had for himself been
seeking a substitute for gasoline for
ten years. The problem he said would
be solved by the manufacture of in

operated by the heat and motion OF
the motor and to produce power from
petroleum and other ingredients to

NOT MUCH CHANCE
SPECIAL SESSION
FOR FINANCE ACT
THE ACT is INVALID
Council of State Has Approved
the Plan of the State High
way Commission to Allow
Counties to Finance Road
work in Addition to States
Sum.
THE ACT is INVALID
(By Max Abernethy).

Raleigh, June An affirming the
decision of Judge George Connor OF
the superior court as to the invalidity
of the 1921 Municipal Finance Act.
the Supreme Courts opinion -yester-
day means that North Carolina
municipalities must resort to the
1919 law to levy taxes for the present
year.
While there is some sentiment over
the STATE for a special session of the
General Assembly to correct the error
made by the legislative clerk in fail
ing to record the vote on the bill IN
the Senate Journal, thus making the
taxing features of the law unconstl-
tutional, it is not known whether
any effort will be made to persuade
Governor Morrison to issue the call
to the legislators. The municipal fl
nance officers had not petitioned the
governor today.
Unless Governor Morrison has a
change of heart it is going to require
considerable pressure from within
and without to persuade him that a
special session is necessary; he un-
derstands that the cities and towns
are at disadvantage by reason or
the high courts opinion but he has
not been convinced that they cannot
travel the two-year course without
legislative assistance.
Some of the cities are harder hit
by the invalidating of the finance act
than others, Raleigh being in desper.
ate circumstances, local officials de-
clare they are very much interested
in seeing an extra session of the
General Assembly.
The Council of State has approved
the plan of the State Highway Com
mission to allow the counties tt
finance roadwork in addition to the
ten millions the State will spend
during the year beginning June 1.
Money advanced by tbs counties
for this purpose are to be repaid by
the State later in installments or al
the highway commission thinks JUS
and equitable. The money advanced
by the counties is not to be consider
ed a part of the ten millions which
the 1921 Legislature authorized
spent annually.
