the best sheriffs the county has
had in the position.
Sheriff H. C. Neitzel held the

Racoons Always Wash Food

The raccoon, more commonly
called coon" is naturally a noe
turnal carnivorous animal and in
habits the forests and swamps.
They found over a large part Of
the United States, Mexico, South
America and in some European
countries. They cannot live where
there are no trees in which to make
their homes. The Germans call
the coon "waschbaer" because Of
it's curious fixed habit of always
washing it's food before eating.
much of the coon's food is gather
ed in shallow water. They eat
frogs, crawfish, stranded fish, pro-
badly CLANS, land animals, vege-
tables, etc. 1t is very likely that
the species acquired the habit of
rinsing all food from the practice
of rinsing the mud and sand from
aquatic prey.-Pathfnder.
The truth of this has been ques-
toned, but we had a pet coon two
years which never failed to wash
and rub and test with nose or tom
que or both to see if it were right.
This coon was a great source Of
entertainment to the family and
visitors alike.
