His Avocation Is Rattlesnake Farn,

DENVEk.-Willam A. Bevan, eec- I> trician at the Lacombe station of the Denver Gas and Electric Light company, conducts snake farm in West Denver as an avocatiOn. Gagged in the back yard are rattlesnakes and copperheads. They are the subjects for experiments being made by two Denver physicians.
 Soon after the snakes arrive at the farm venom is taken from their fangs by forcing them to squirt it through q gauge stretched over the top of a tum- bier. The sticky mass is then spread on small sheets of glass to dry. Within a few hours it changes into brittle vel low crystals and is collected in cap sules. With the contents of these cap sules the local doctors are now work ing, hoping to create a market for the venom of the local poisonous reptiles, and thereby save those physicians who pay 5000 an ounce for cobra venom in Paris.
 "The old theory that whisky does any good is all bunk-it only acts on the nervous system and has no neu- trali2ing effect whatever" says Bevan. "lhe first thing to be done is to suck the poison out of the bite as quickly as possible. Next, tie band tightly above the wound and cut it open and

 Supported Him i'll
 Tuesdays Primary.

No one in Greene county, no as pirapt in the recent primary cleo ton. could more heartily appreciate the honors the voters of the county conferred upon me in selecting me as their nominee in the race for Circuit Court Clerk, and l wish to take this occasion drought the columns of The Daily Press and Fri Weekly soliphone to express that feeling of appreciation. However it is very difficult for me to find words to give full expression to my feelings in that respect
 First I wish to assure the voters of Greene county that shall put forth my very best effoEts to fulfill not only every promise l have made the voters of the county in seeking the nomina tiOn. to make the county a satisfactory official as Circuit Clerk, but l am going to do my level best to show the people that fully appreciate what they have done for me in awarding me this advance ment Your every interest in the Circuit Clerks office shall be looked after to the very best of my ability when l shall take charge of the af- fairs of that post following the final election in the fall.
 To those who voted and worked against me in the contest, voted for my opponents, and to those good fellows who ran in opposition to me .or the office wish to assure them tHat' ikhave none but the very best 1f feelings for and toward them. The boys running in opposition to me I regard as being worthy, really not deserving of defeat. but some body had. to board the salt river packet and, selfishly enough, naturally rather see them take the trip than make it myself. But the campaign afforded me my last chance for the office, having been defeated in the race in my first attempt They have the same second oppor- lunity that l had which they may take advantage of when the cus- tomary time for them to run rolls around.
 l am going to put forth every eff forth to discharge the duties of the office to which l have been nom mated, to make everyone a first class official, and I want every voter in Greene county to know that l am his friend whether he Or she voted for or against me. The election is over and the spirit Of opposition l shall no longer rcmem- Der. It was fair and first-class fight, I did my best to win and am 'tickled to death that l did"
 With my very best wishes for ev- erybody, l am,
 Very happily yours,

MUST BE A MAN

IF A MAN would be happy he must A be a Man.
 Try as one may, real enjoyment cannot be gotten out of life if one follows q wrong pathway. If a man would be satisfied with himself, he must have the proper viewpoint of what he should be. Ad- hitting this, let us consider the opin- ion of D. I. Burrell as to what makes a man Man.
 Not what a man has or what hap pens to him; not wealth, nor noble blood. nor crowns says Burrell, but the things that are in him and shin ing through him-his thoughts, mo tives springs of action; those consti- tute the man."
 Too few have this honest estimate in mind when they measure their own right to a, place under the sun and their own right to comfort and hap piness. Unfortunately humans are inclined Fto spend much more lime thinking of what they would like to have, than in thinking what they are or wbaSt they. would likeato be- 2, ss'Selt tpreservationt; is the first law of Nature" it is true. But too often we find evidence that men and women place selhshness ahead of everything else They do not understand that there is d wide difference between self-preservation and selfishness. If they do understand, they ignore the fact, for constantly, though earnestly seeking happy lives, we find them seeking worldly possessions, worldly pleasures-most of which are of the shallowest sort.
 When one faces hard-boiled bur glar in the darkness of the night, he rightly protects himself by whatever means he finds at his disposal. That's case of self-preservation, for the second-story men are usually ready to kill rather than be caught. But in the regular pathways of life no one can mstify any action which is unfair to his fellowmen in order to gain some thing for himself. When man stoops to underhand, dishonest methods, whether they be in buying or selling, either labor or goods he is certain sooner or later 10 loss respect for himself.
 No man can he happy in his own position, however exalted, if he knows that his thoughts, his actions and his heart are centered on what he hopes to get, rather than on what he hopes to do.

Four United States marshals, con- stituting moonshine cleanup squad" are making the fur fly from the liquor violators in and around Truman, in Poinsett county. During the past month more than one hundred individuals have been rounded up and introduced to the tolls of the law upon various charges of trying to veto the Volstead act through copper coils and m1sh con tainers but their veto has been dis astrously' oyor-riddcn by Ulcle Sam's scouts who are nabbing them by the wholesale.

MT, Lady has been mayor of Truman since last March. MT. Foulke resigned as City Marshal of Truman one month ago.

 It is intimated that Federal of- ficials soon will pay visit to the region of Jonesboro, Paragould and BIytheville and that warm time in the booZe-infested sections will be experienced. Ii appears that the Federal officers have a well mapped out plan to mix things with the booze element and they are giving as much attention to officials who are failing in the performance of their duties as they are to those who are actually making runs of white mule"
 Activities to clean up Poinsett are said to be the most extensive that have been put forth in any one com munity in the state and that it merely represents a fore-runner Of what may be expected in all other sections of the commonwealth.
 It was reported upon the streets of Paragould this morning that two or three hundred citizens had been at Truman in Federal raids conducted by U s. marshals but the rumOr was unfounded.
