142 SNAKES KILLED
NEAR MIDWAY

1t was a rather rough party for
the snakes. Farmers near Midway
killed 142 reptiles in days fight
Tuesday. R. T. Gentry was in the
Herald Statesman office this morning
telling us one of the best snake
stories we have heard for some time.
The snakes were first noticed by Mr..
Gentry's brother, Braxton Gentry,
about six weeks ago. Since that time
others living in the neighborhood
have noticed several rattlesnakes dis
appearing into the same hole in the
cliff. It is on the south slope on
the old Duslin Settles farm.
The conclusion was that there was
a den of snakes there and plans were
made accordingly to exterminate
them. Mr.. Gentry said that they
had no idea there were so many
snakes when they started into blast
ing with dynamite. The snakes were
found under crevices in the rock and
were in dormant state due to the
cold. They were thrown out with
sticks and piled up. Later they were
killed.
Mr.. Gentry said that every time
they blasted they found few more
so that when they stopped late in
the evening they counted 142 snakes
varying in length from a few inches
to six feet. All snakes common to
Missouri were found. Twenty-three
rattlers were in the bunch. Blow
ing vipers. copperheads and black
snakes were among the dead.
Twenty-eight men took part in the
fight and did not stop until dusk and
the lack of dynamite made further
work impossible.
It Is probable that they win make
another raid on the snakes IN the

Sand Rome, in spite of her ancient
land modern pride and the recent
death of the Pope. has completely
lsurrendered herself to the frolic-
1some goddess. Jazz. The orchestra
| started only a few days ago, and
| all Rome knows of it already. The
Hotel Excelsior. which has engaged
liz for the whole winter season, has
become the rendezvous of the
smartest people of the capital. The
Immense dancing room together
with the adjoining salons have been
crowded both in the afternoons and
Evenings. Last Sunday afternoon.

FATHERS AND SONS
ANNUAL BANQUET
HELD AT BOYS "Y'
Sam Tells His Buddy of
The big" Time
200 Attend.

Dear Bud.-Let me tell you about
the Father and Son banquet We had
at the Boys ~ last Friday night.
You know they have been having
these banquets every year. and last
February they had nearly 200 peo-
pie. fathers and their sons.
Well. here 10 what It Is. It's for
the fathers and their sons. The OBJ
ject of the banquet 10 to have each
father bring his son and each son
bring his dad"
In the big assembly hall they had
long tables. decorated for the oeca-
sion. and then they served a reEu-
lar banquet. you know. one OF those
big feeds" A real dinner. where
you have soup and salad and meat
and potatoes and vegetables and
brest and butter and milk and des-
sert Say. that's some feed"
Between the courses Of the meal
they had games. One Of the games
was like this:
The people were divided into
teams. one team on each sIee OF
each table. Then the nrst man on
each team was given a drinking
glass full Of water, and at the sig
nal they passed these glasses all
the way along the table to the other
end. The team that managed TO
get its glass to the other end of
the table FIRST with the most water
| in IL won.
Another game they played was
like this: The FIRST man on each
team was given an orange. At tho
signal he jumped up. ran around
his chair. sat down and then passed
the orange to the next fellow and
then he got up and ran around hi,
chair and then sat down and passeC
the orange TO the next fellow, and
so on. The team that got ia
orange to the other end OF the tabl,
first won that game. Then afte'
everybody had finished eating the,
had a couple OF "snsppy" speeches
that were nne, and then we wen
around the boys building and die
as we wanted. Some OF the boy
and their dads" played pool anC
some played checkers and chess
and others went up to the gym
and had a volleyball game. NoI
know how to play volleyball, dom
you? You have two sides with
net like a tennis net stretched be
tween them. about eight feet up IA
the air. Then you bat the volleyball
which looks like a smsll-sized bss
ketball, back and forth. The sid
that lets the ball touch the moo
the most loses the game.
Well, this just gives you an idea
OF the dandy time we had at thi'
banquet. This Is the big thing they
had at the Boys ~" this month
and beginning early in February
they are going to start the "activi'
ties campaign" which I'll have "a

TIP For GARDENERS.

Backaches and sunburn are no
longer necessary consequences of
wedding the garden. A combination
stool and umbrella, shown in the
January Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, mas been invented to make the
gardeners work less of a burden.
The seat is mounted on two legs and
two wheels So that 1t may be tilted
up and wheeled about like a wheel
barrow. Legs and wheel supports
have a telescoping adjustment to OBJ
tain exactly the right height, and a
lateral adjustment allows the stools
to be placed over rows of different
widths. A large sunshade is at
tached to the edge of the seat and
may be tilted to just the right
angle.

AND HERE'S HOW YOU MAKE 1T.

While the drawing for this motor
driven jissaw looks quite complicated
few moments study Of it will show
that the project is not so dificult to
make as it may appear.
The legs Of the table are made OF
two-by-fours. They are all the same
length, 80 inches. except for the one
that supports the saw frame. 1t is 80
inches long.
After the legs have been cut to
length and dressed, make the base
pieces into which the legs are notched
and fastened with bolts or lag screws.
These base pieces are to be Jagged to
the door to prevent vibration of the
frame.
The spreaders for the legs are made
next. Two OF these, as YOU will note
after studying the drawing, are
notched into the legs. The other
spreaders and the cross braces are
fastened with screws only.
As the top is quite large, it will be
necessary to glue several pieces of
wood together. Fasten the top to the
spreaders with finishing nails or
screws.
The two saw arms are next. have
made side view drawing of the table
and arms, and this gives the dimen-
sions for the arms. as well as an idea
as to the shape to which they must
be cut. The saw arms are fastened
to the long !eg of the table with stove
bolts. The strip of wood across the
saw arms will furnish greater bear
ing than the heads of the bolts alone.
Bore hole in one end OF each saw
arm to receive the hooks that hold the
saw blade In the arms. Part A. in the
diagram. shows this hook in detail.
To make these hooks get two three
sixteenth dnch sauare-head bolts. and
