Snakes. says the Reptile Study
Society, are the most misunderstood
animal in the world. Many persons
kill them on sight. though reptiles are
gentle and inoffensive by nature.
They are important economic allies
of their murderers, for snakes destroy
the rats and mice that destroy millions
Of dollars worth of grain and other
property annually. There are but
four kinds of poisonous snakes in the
United States, outside Of museums.
There are the rattlesnakes. copper
heads, water moccasins found only
in the south) and the rare coral snake.
Their bites are not necessarily fatal,
and the number of persons bitten Is
small Most snake stories are either
gross exaggerations or lies. Children
are not usually born with the fear Of
snakes and win not acquire It except
through imitation of misguided adults

SEARCH WARRANT
FORM DEVISED
BY OFFICIAL
Attorney General Announces
Way to Follow Law

Jackson, Miss, July 11.-Attor-
ney General Potter has been devising
plan to relieve the embarrassed DO
sition Of the prohibition authorities
and help them out of the dilemma in
which they have been placed by the
wholesale attacks being made all over
the state on the constitutionality of
the present statutes regarding the is
suance of search warrants.
Scores of appeal cases are coming
up to the supreme court involving this
question, and as a result the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws has been
practically suspended. During the
past IL months Gen. Potter states 81
out Of 172 criminal appeals reaching
the supreme court involve violations
of the liquor laws, and IA of the last
FL appealr on the attorney generals
docket are liquor cases. The search
warrant question is involved In a
large proportion of these, and in sew
erai cases which were submitted to
the court before its adjournment. No
decision can be had on these cases
until next term of court, and in the
meantime appeals are multiplying, as
lawyers in all parts of the state are
raising the question in defense of
liquor cases.
Gen. Potter has studied these cases
and the points raised in them, and has
devised carefully drawn search war
rant and affidavit from which he is
today mailing out to the county au-
thorities all over the state, and which
are regarded as "air-tight" and in
vincible to attack. BY following these
forms, all appeals against the legali1
of search warrants will be stopped
and prohibition administration pro-
ceed without further interruption.

Who said we woundn't have an oil

ecutives in charge of its affairs.
Chief Driller is Mr.. ]. s. Royal, of

most efficient manner,
The site Of the Well is on Mr.. Jim

from Houlka, which is the nearest

better for soil in this section than any
other. The machinery is the best that
money can buy, according to Mr..
Royal and they are starting so they
can make real test, drilling more
than 5000 feet deep II necessary. Mr..
Royal has named his outfit "Old
Forty.Four," saying that ell other
outfits that have attempted to drill
for oil in Mississippi are. In compare

The end came in the eight after

Thus ended a fight that has no

Ringside, New Jersey, July l2-
Jess Willard, the man-mountain
from Kansas. went back to fistic OBJ
iivion tonight but he staged the last,
through futile act Of his comeback
before vast throng of more than
loo,o00,th e greatest In ring history,
that filled Boyle's Thirty Acres to
overflowing.
Luis Angel Firpo, dark brow
ed mauler from the Argentine, clos
ed the door to Willard's attempted
return to fistic fame by knocking
out the giant former champion in
the eight round of a slashing bat
tie, one Of the greaest in recent
heavyweight history. Incidentally,
he reached the goal at which he has
aimed for the past year of his
meteoric rise to prominence-a
macth for the title with Jack Demp-
ssy,
No Question Of Superiority
There was no question of the su-
periority Of the brilliant Argentine
battler tonight Wizards superior
weight, height and reach enabled the
big Kanasan to check Firpo's rush
ing attack in most of the early
rounds, bat despite the Americans
gameness under fire, the tide of
battle swung inevitably in favor of
the younger, more rugged fighter.
The final round opened slowly
They spared at long range and there
was little hint that the end was near.
But suddenly Firpo unleashed saw
age drive to Willard's head and body.
The fury of that attack had never
failed to bring down the South
Americans quarry and Big Jess de-
spite his towering size and stamina,
wilted. Step by step Willard gave
ground, trying almost blindly to
ward off the volley Of jolts to his
head and body. Backed up against
the ropes his head sank, then a right
shot to the head sent him to his
knees. He kneeled as Refree Harry
Lewis started counting, shaking his
head and trying to lift himself up.
But the waning strength in that
great bulk was unequal to the task
and he sank into the arms of his
handlers at the final count.
Four years ago Willard came up
seven times in the first round Of
the fight in which he lost his title
to Jack Dempsey. But while the
same courage remained today he
could not muster the strength to
arise after that devastating attack
Of Firpo's.
Speed Gave Firpo Lead.
Firpo's greater speed and ability
to attack his big target at more
angles gave him an early advantage,
but the South American often dis
played bad judgement of distance and
this coupled with Willard's ability
to block his opponents rushes, re-
suited In little effective battling,

jab with his lsft, styed on the de-
