Hair Rope Is No Protection
From Rattlesnake Invasion

RattlesnakeS do not charm their
prey; they do not swallow their
young; do not 60 blind in August;
do not relish direct heat of the
sun; do not welcome a fight; will
not strike unless disturbed or
frightened; do not always rattle
before striking; cannot strike
without first throwing themselves
into loose rs" shaped coil. These
are just a few things that rattle
S snakes do not do, as pointed out by
w. T. Bill Sweet. widely known Butte
attention to this form Of hunting.
In April Mr.. Sweet and a party of
Beaverhead county sports enthusiasts
staged the first rattlesuake hunt of
the year on Rattlesnake mountain.
south of Melrose They captured about
20 OF the prairie variety. all of which
were exhibited recently in a Butte
window
The method used by Mr.. Sweet and
his friends in taking the reptiles alive
Is simple. The snakes are lasSoed, much
in the same way buckaroo lassoes a
critter. A rope loop is thrown over the
snakes head and the rope pulled taut.
Just as simple as that.
But when out for the kill. Mr.. Sweet
uses a novel method of execution He
has stick. about eight feet in length,
on one end of which is small battery.
From the battery two wires extend
along the stick to the other end where
two loose ends of the wire protrude.
When the wires touch the snake it is
electrocuted. Generally it takes three
contacts to kill the snake. The snakes
are not hard to approach. according to
Mr.. Sweet, although they do lot of
kissing. They cannot throw themselves

The end of the semester is rapidly
approaching and with ii comes the
election of class officers for the Sec
ond semester Previously officers
were elected only at the first of
the year, but ii was decided that it
would be better to elect them each
semester, since this would give the
students the opportunity to change
their officers if they wished to
do So
During the elections the question
of whom to elect always comes up.
A class with good president is
usually an outstanding class. A
student may have good ideas about
how to govern the class, but, unless
he is able to present these to the
pupils in convincing manner, his
ideas are worthless. We should re-
member when voting not to pick a
student because of his popularity,
athletic ability, or scholastic knowl-
edge, but because of his knowledge
Of public speaking, parliamentary
law, and ability to govern others.

Pioneer Visits Here.

Carl Back and son, Paul, of Gran
ton, Wis, visited old friends and
neighbors here from Sunday until
Wednesday, being guests while here
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Anton
P. Hansen, their old neighbors. Mr..
Back farmed here from 1908 to 1918
on the place now owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. Hans Clausen. It is just little
over 20 years since Mr. Back last saw
this community, and needless to say,
he can hardly recognize it now and
is amazed at the Improvements that
have been made during those 20
years. Mr.. Back was of course among
the very earliest settlers and left
the community before it really started
to grow. He was busy from early
morning until late at night while
here visiting all the old friends.
