tailed S9,695, 4S0, the highest since
the war period and an increase of
S4,229,1O9 over the last full year

cent is taxable by Silver Bow county.

was explained that better production
methods, better recoveries, better

Liue Snails Kept in
Cold STORAGE Vaults

At the beginning of the autumn sea-
son 2O,OOO,OOO snails are usually re-
posing in cold storage in France ready
to be taken out and served up to the
epicures of the nation. The snails are
eaten only in the colder months OF the
year. 1t goes into seciusion under the
shelter Of stones and wood piles and
spreads shield across the opening Of
its shell and spends the winter In COM
Portable seclusiOn and safety.
But they are forestalled by the snail
hunters who gather them in the spring
and summer months and put them in
cold storage until the restaurant de-
mand starts in. They sleep away the
summer months under the impression
that they are alternating. If it were
not for this the Frenchman would be
compelled to fOrego his diet of snails.
There are two kinds Of snails which
are in demand for consumption, form
Of the common garden snail and the
Roman or Burgundy, which is by far
the favOrte on account Of it's delicious
flavor and its size.-ChicagO Journal.

ried over him but never, evidently,
lost her faith or understanding"
