SNAKES ONCE WERE LIZARDS
Like Everything Else In the World
They Have Undergone Form
# Evolution.

northumberland that word In.
cludes almost all modern scientists
declare the snake, as we know II today,
is merely the offspring of the lizard.
The family Is traced back hundreds Of
thousands of years to time when one
of the semi-sea monsters crawled out
OH the land and elected to stay there.
Among the species was one with very
short legs. As he numbered along over
the ground he discovered that by Hat
tening his belly to the ground and
working his ribs that the leverage thus
gained helped him along faster,
He came to depend more and more
upon this method of movement ana
nature took its usual course in elm
mating organs or limbs not in use.
The low lizard lost its legs and be-
came crawler. AS the centuries
passed natural selection left these win
long bodies. as they could move faster
than the ones with the short 0odleS
and therefore the breeding soon DE-
came matter of length until the
snake as we know it today resulted
Another species remained in the wa
ter great deal but crawled about tne
bottom, and from that came something
that we would today call a sea ser
pent, a creature about 45 or Oh fee'
long, with wide and toOth-armed jaws
1t has been extinct for many centuries

NORRIS Bill. WOULD SELL
FARMPRoDUCTS OVERSEAS
Would Authorize Formation of Government
Corporation to Market Supplies Abroad.

To the Bditcr. Ihe washington Herald;
1 am writing you a brief comment
on S. 1915, a bill Il recently intro
dueed In the Senate having for its
object the organization Of a govern
mental corporation for the purpose
Of purchasing farm products in the
United States and selling the same
in foreign countries.
1t will be conceded. l believe, that
the real fundamental cornerstone OF
the prosperity of our country is
agriculture. II agriculture Is not
prosperous. no other branch of In.
dustry and no other group of the
American people can be prosperous
II the farmer goes down. he drags
with him all classes Of people. II
he fails to produce. the consumer
10 not able to live. II he prospers.
he lifts up with him all the people
of the country.
The world is confronted with an
extremely abnormal condition. The
farmers OF our country have pro-
duced a surplus which they are not
able to sell. In other parts OF the
world there are millions of people
starving for the products which we
have in vast abundance. The prob
lem is to get this surplus from our
farms into the homes of the starv-
ing people of foreign lands. They
are not able to pay cash. They
must have time. They are willing
10 mortgage everything they have
for the food which our farmers have
produced. The governmental cor.
poration which Is provided for in
this bill Is intended to act as
nniddleman between the producers
in America and the consumers in
foreign countries. II Is no answer
TO say that we are proposing n plan
that Is abnormal. The facts are we
are living in abnormal times. The
natural channels Of business have
failed, and part of the world 4,
striving, while the other part is
bankrupt in the midst of an over
supply. II will not do to stand
Idly BY and say that this food must
not be moved until commercial
agencies existing under normal con-
ditions shall transact the business
We have waited long enough for
these agencies to work. to become
convinced that they cannot meet the
contingency. If we wait longer, we
will find the hungry people in for
eign lands starting, while our farm
ers are bankrupt
1t must be remembered too. that
when the farmer goes down, as he
must unless some market is found
for this surplus produce, he will
take with him a large number Of
the country banks, scattered
throughout the agricultural Sec
tions Of our country. and when
these banks fail the danger will be
that other institutions will like
wise fail. Under these conditions,
our government ought to build up
exporting machinery that will be
able to take securities offered bv
those who want our products and
tide them over until they are able
to pay. 1t must be understood thai

Another . great difficulty that
makes chasm between the pro-
ducer and the consumer Is the tre-
mendously high cost of transporta-
tion. This measure provides,
through the instrumentality OF the
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion. for reduced rates for these
products, Thousands OF empCy
freight cars are obstructing the
railroad tracks of the country.
Would 1t not be better even for the
railroads themselves, II these empty
cars were in part utilized to trans
port these products at reduced
rates, and thus not only help the
producer and the consumer, but the
railroads themselves? We have
reached a point in our transporta-
tion system where it has become
apparent to all thinking men that
railroads can be bankrupted by high
rates as well as by rates that are
