Ho.D Crocod:les "Hunt"

The scent. sight and hearing Of croc-
@diles are most acute. "a writer in the
New York Herald-fribune remarks.
Their favolite method of hunting is
to lie immersed in water, or under
brush, grass or bushes near drink
ing place, and when a victim bends
its neck to drink, by swift rush it
is seized by nose, leg or tail and
crushed in the powerful jaws Of the
crocodile. The powerful tail also Is q
valuable aid to crocodile when
in battle. Often when a large AMI
NAL, like II deer or goat, is browsing
near the bank of river, a crocodile
may quietly steal close to it and by a
we'll calculated stroke of its tail stun
the animal and knock 1t into the
water.

ADVERSELY A STIMULANT
TO GOOD FARMING

An interesting experience is told by
Dean Dodson Of a Louisiana farmer
who was just about breaking even in
growing cotton. One day his wife fell
seriously i'll and was obliged to go to
the hospital. A little later his daugh-
ter was also taken to the hospital.
Before he was through with this ex-
perience he was confronted with a
bill for $4,000. What was he to do?
Like a good business man he be-
gan to figure how he might increase
his income and cut down his ex-
penses. He had a few COWS that he
kept for raising calves He started
to milk these and sell the product.
He had some Gull potatoes that were
unstable. He fed these to his cows
and some pigs which he was able to
buy right. Other waste products were
utilized in the same manner. In the
garden he had more turnips than he
needed for his own use. These he
sorted. selling the best and feeding
the poor ones. He consulted with his
merchants as to what garden crops
he might profitably grow for the local
market.
He figured that he had some idle
land that he might use in growing
grain and hay. He enlarged his flock
of poultry and took better care Of it.
He was more careful in the use OF
his auto and saved considerable
sum that ordinarily went for gasoline.
BY taking advantage of the increased
sources of income and by cutting out
unnecessary expenses he was able by
the end of the year to pay off his hos
pital bill, and in the meantime had
discovered the secret Of sound and
successful farming. BGnker-F FARMER.

LAW ENFORCEMENT pad
LOCKS" ISSUED IN
MARYLAND

Since January the Federal Govern
ment has closed ffty-6ve Maryland es-
Establishments as a part of its program OF
enforcing the Volstead act in the State,
records show. OF this number, FIVE
have been closed by permanent in
functions.
OF the fifty cafes. restaurants and Pri-
vate dwellings which have been paddock
ed'' by temporary injunctions, only two
later were allowed to reopen on the
same basis as before the decree. In
these cases the Governments petitions
for the injunctions were dismissed.
An injunction has the effect of closing
a place with the provision that it may be
reopened if the United States Attorney
SO orders. According to Amos w. w.
Woodcock, United States District Al
torney, injunctons are asked only when
an establishment has been raided by
prohibition agents. In almost every
case, he added. the building is allowed to

Licensed to Drink Coffee

Prohibition applied to coffee drink
ng at one time. In the year 1871 in
Germany only a few rich holders OF
government licenses drank coffee and
deputies were employed to spy upon
the common people to see that they
did not have coffee. These deputies
used to follow the smell of roasting
coffee to seek out those who did not
have permits. In consequence they
were cordially disliked and were called
Scoffee smellers" by the indignant
populace.-Famiy Herald,

A well founded report at Green

gave the information that the Com

Maryland boundary in Chincoteague
Bay, found that the supposed line had
been moved a considerable distance
into Virginia territory. A good story
is told on a citizen Of Greenbackville
last spring. He was grabbing near
the supposed boundary and finding
the crabs more plentiful moved across
into Maryland. About the time he got
his lines set the Maryland authorities
came along and he fed leaving his
lines. Now he finds that instead of
being in Maryland waters he was
really in Virginia. But it is too late
to recover the lines.

Byrd Wins In Virginia
Over Mapp For Governor

The proximity of Virginia to Wor-

Of much interest to this section of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. Specially
have the people watched the fight be-
tween Byrd of the Western Shore of
Virginia, and Mapp, OF the Eastern,
for the gubernatorial nomination.
While predictions haze always fore
cast Byrd as the probable winner, yet
Mapp's friends had denied this, and
were putting up strenuous cam
paign.
Last Tuesday the election was held
and Byrd's majority over Mapp is put
at figures ranging from 10000 to
$4,000.
The defeated candidate has a host
of friends, however, and it is likely he
will be heard from again in political
way.
