their teeth to numerous fishing
parties during the week. While not
as plentiful as their fighting
brethren, the trout, nevertheless
they are in evidence and can be
seen at times eating their way
through big schools of menhaden
to satisfy their everlasting appetites.
Hardheads of medium size, are
being boated with regularity. AL
though not classed in the game
division, they are strong biters and
when hooked afford the angler some
real thrills.
Norfolk spots, while not being of
the large variety are in abund-
ance, and 1t is indeed a rarity
when fishing parties return spot
less.
Trout Or weak fish of the big
class. known to anglers as gray
backs are now on their first lap
and their race will not be COM
pleted until cold weather drives
them south to their winter homes.
Big catches of the gamey fish
have been made during the week.
The following letter from one of
the bays best known boatmen
speaks for itself:
Chesapeake Beach,
Sept. 3.
Dear Angler:
I thought I would drn" you a
line in regard to tn fishing, 1
made big catches of trout Monday
and Tuesday. / saw schools and
went out there and they just bit
fine. Nothing but trout from
about one and one-half pounds up
to five pounds. All of them were
beauties and I think by the full
moon they will be biting fine, if
we have nice weather.
Hoping to see you soon,
Yours truly,
NOAH B. HAZARD.

MOULTRIE. Ga-Buyers on the

The west cannot, under any cir

New High Records
Is Made For Traffic
In First Three Months of This Year
Freight Is Expected to Be Great.

In First Three Months OF Inns Year
Freight Is Expected to Be Great.
ATLANTA, Ga-Freight traffic in
the first three months of this year is
expected to be the greatest in history,
according to a statement OF Atlanta
railway executives, based on figures
received from the car service division
of the American Railway Association.
Total loading for the three months
period is estimated at 1884. l25 cars,
an increase of 256,851 cars, or 2.2 per
cent above the first three months in
1924, when the previous high record
for that period was made, and 513,702
cars or As per cent above the same
period in 1928
This estimate is based on informa-
ton from the commodity committees
OF the various Shippers Regional Ad-
visory Boards in regard to their pros
pective business for the first three
months of this year compared with the
same periods in 1924 and 1923.
In addition, consideration was given
in the preparation of the estimate to
other known factors directly relating
to car loading. These include the gen
eral prosperous business conditions
now existing, the trend of traffic dur
ing the last three months in 1924 com
pared with the corresponding periods
in previous years and the first three
months actual loading Of previous
years.
The record loadings OF revenue
freight for any one year was reached
in 1928 when the total was +9,Sl2,ll5
cars, although during the first three
months and the last three months in
1924 revenue freight loadings were the
greatest on record Had it not been

Corn and Peas.
Our best bet is early corn, which
II planted as a separate crop, and well
cultivated should yield an enormous
supply for early hog finishing and
will assure the early marketing of
hogs during July and August In this
section, we grazed a lot of heavy
yield corn in June last year. We be-
lieve farmers should be told not to
plant peanuts with early corn, because
the corn will mature so much earlier
than the peanuts, but our experience
locally has shown that an early va

with early corn, which will supple

Woman Raises Boa Constructor in
Her Home; Reptile Is Is Feet Long
Jumbo CoIed in Corner of Living Room of Dunbar (Pa) Resi-
dence While Mistress Receives Reporter Fed Live Rabbits

CONNELLSVILLE, Pain her
little home in Dunbar. in the Pennsyl-
vania hills. Mrs. Theodore Cecil has
succeeded in doing what many circus
and trained animal men, with the ia
cilities which she lacks, have failed
to do
She has raised from babyhood to
maturity a huge silver boa constructor
measuring between Is and 20 feet and
weighing more than 800 pounds. Coil
ed in his trunk in the corner OF her
modest living room, his body as thick
as a good-sized tree and his satiny
skin indicative OF perfect health and
careful grooming, Jumbo is sight to
send chill into the heart OF the cas-
ual observer.
Feeds Him Live Rabbits.
Does he ever come out?" the wri-
ter inquired, backing away to safer
distance from that large, fiat head and
darling tongue which marked one end
OF the huge coiled mass.
For answer Mrs Cecil reached
down and grasped the great snake
lust below the head lifting it to her
shoulder and fondling it.
"Oh, yes she laughed, quite OF

mails. They must be alive, for boa
or cooked. Having no teeth, 1t sWal-
lows the food whole, digestng 1t very
slowly during long torpid period.
In addition to the big snake Mrs.
Cecil possesses a smaller one OF the
same variety. 1t is about three years
old and measures five feet. jumbo is
in his seventeenth year, but still sew
eral wears away from complete matur-
ity.
Has Cage of Monkeys.
Beside the reptiles Mrs. Cecil has a
cage OF monkeys, two OF which she
obtained in South America and one III
South Africa. Up to within a few
months ago she also included in her
menagerie a large alligator which she
had trained to do several tricks.
Raising the snakes has required
constant and skilled care. They are
kept for the most part wrapped in
warm blankets near heating appara-
tus for the cold winter OF North
America is their deadliest foe. The
monkeys, too, are very susceptible to
climatic changes and fall an easy prey
to tuberculosis. Most OF them survive
but a few seasons in captivity.
Mrs. Cecil has had one OF her small
proteges 10 years. She is an acknoWl-
edged authority on snake culture and
has lectured to thousands upon the
history and habits of reptiles Not
long ago a well-known menagery
owner visited her home to Obtain
