Rare Snake Found
East Of Kerrick

Pine county experienced an
invasion" of some sort Sunday
afternoon a week ago when a
four-foot hog-nosed snake was
discovered on the Adolph Larson
farm three miles east of Kerrick.
Mrs. Larson was startled to hear
her five-year old son scream and
upon investigation saw that he
had been frightened by a large,
gray snake. She called Mr.. Lar
son who killed the reptile.
1t being unusual to see a snake
of this type here it was taken to
a conservation club meeting in
Kerrick and turned over to Game
Warden John Buck who sent it
to the State Game and Fish de-
partment for Identification. There
it was found to be an eastern hog
nosed snake, the first of its kind
ever to be reported from this
section of the state.
The snake is non-poisonous and
is unusual because of its ability
to puff up its head when cor
nered, attempting to brighten its
enemies in this manner.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Fate this week is adding another
chapter to the swiftly moving story
of bloody European events, for at
conferences in Berlin Hitler and
Count Galeazzi Ciano, Italy's foreign
minister and Mussolini's son-in-law,
have been discussing not only plans
for joint major attack on Great
Britain but also for the solution of
the economic problems which must
of necessity follow in the wake of the
war.
The German and the Italian dicta-
tor take it for granted that it will
be their job to recognize the social
and political life of the Old World,
and they seem inclined to assume
that the war really is almost over, for
with only England left to eliminate,
the task does not seem stupendous
to Berlin and Rome. Just remember
how easy it was to dispose of Nor
way, Denmark, Holland, Belgium,
Luxembourg and France! So, why
worry about British resistance?
The possibility exists that the
calculations and the plans of the
nazi and fascist autOcrats may
be just little bit premature. For
England is not France, and in its
will to resist the onslaught it is
not like France at all.
Even the smartest among states

end Mishaps; Cars Badly
Damaged.

While enroute to Sandstone Sunday
afternoon about 4:30 o'clock, Paul
and Wallace Beeman, their mother,
Mrs. Anna Beeman, a cousin, and
Fritz Holtz, all of Sandstone, escaped
serious injury when the car in which
they were riding went into the ditch
near the Jorgensen corner. 1t seems
that the steering gear broke and the
car went out of control, rolling over
several times.
Mrs. Beeman was badly shaken up
and the other occupants received cuts
and bruises. Mr.. Holtz suffered a
deep cut on his leg which required
several stitches to close. All are ex-
pected to recover fully. The car was
badly damaged.
Cars Crash on Highway 81.
In an accident between Sandstone
and the Askov junction on highway
81 late Saturday, the car in which
Mrs. Francis James and her daughter,
Grace, of near Rutledge, were riding
was struck from behind by one driven
by Kermit Osmundson of Mankato.
The latter, with three companions,
were on their way to Duluth to drive
home some new cars, and in attempt
ing to avoid hitting another car, struck
the James auto from the rear, damag-
ing both cars.
The two ladies received some
bruises and were given assistance
by passersby and taken to Sandstone
for medical attention. One of the
men in the other car received con-
cuSsion of the brain and was taken
to the Moose Lake hospital, being sent
home Tuesday. The other men es-
capped with only minor bruises. Mr..
Osmundson was arrested on a care

later and is to appear before court
in Pine City Saturday.

Lower Residential
Rates Announced

Effective on and after Monday,
August 5, the residential electric
rates throughout the territory served
by the Minnesota Power & Light
Company will be reduced. Accord
ing to the new schedule there will
be flat charge of 81 for the first
16 XVIII or less, 5.5c per XVIII for
the next "a, Sc per XVIII for the next
80 and &c per XVIII excess. The re-
duction will amount to approximately
S153, 1888 year, or roughly per cent.
w. j. Wilkinson, division manager
of the company, explained that the
continued use of the company's serv-
ice in ever increasing amounts helped
to make possible the rate reduction
and that the company hopes that by
these lower rates they can make this
drudgery eliminating service an ever
increasing help to the housewife.
Present cost of electric service
used in the home by the average FAM
lily is only about 10c per day, with
a very high percentage of our Gus
toners using only from sc to &c worth
per day for household use," said Mr..
Wilkinson. Others who make a more
extensive use of the service for cook
ing, water heating, refrigeration,
radio, laundry, lighting and the many
other services performed by this help
full agent, of course, pay something
more, but in so doing they are re-
placing substitute services which are
not so safe, clean or convenient, and
in this replacement effect savings
that are available for other worth
while purposes.

paper, announcing the residential
rate reduction, will give further in
formation.

Easier For
County Farmers
Commissioner Loans Being
ReamOrtized Over Long
er Period.

The opportunity to reduce the an
nual principal payments on land bank
commissioner loans by reamortizing
them over a longer period of years
has been opened to many of the SIG
Pine county farmers who have COM
missioner loans, according to state
ment received recently from the Farm
Credit Administration of st. Paul.
There were about $657,OOO of land
bank commissioner loans outstanding
in this county at the beginning of
1910 and in addition approximately
$767 900 of Federal Land Bank loans.
Some of these loans have already
been reamortized.
Loans Originally for 10 Years.
Most of the Federal Land Bank
loans are already written for long
terms up to 30-odd years, but the
commissioners" loans were orig
inally made on a 10-year basis, re-
quiring considerably heavier prin-
cipal payments.
In recent statement from Wash
ington, A. G. Black, governor of the
Farm Credit Administration, said
many of the commissioner" loans
were being reamortized over a longer
period of years in order to ease the
payments of farmers with the heav-
lest mortgages. Spreading out the
payments over longer period will
provide these farmers with the same
opportunity of working out of debt
as already provided for Federal Land
Bank borrowers through long-term
repayment periods, Governor Black
said. Federal Land Bank loans are
all first mortgage loans whereas the
commissioners loans are made on
both first and second mortgage Sc
curity.

Minnesota Death
TollOnHighway
HigherThis Year
2l6 Killed to Date i'm
1910; 100 Fatalities in
Same Period Last Year.

Traffic fatalities on Minnesota's
highways are higher during the first
half of 1910 than during the same
period in 1889, 20 more being re-
corded to date.
In explaining this condition, state
Highway department safety engineers
produced some significant figures. A
total of ZIG Minnesota men, women
and children were killed in the first
six months of this year. During the
same period of 1889 there were 1876
fatalities-2O under this years death
toll.
More Pedestrians Killed.
Analysis of these figures shows that
"the man of the street.-the pedeS-
trian-is responsible for much of the
unWarranted increase in deaths, as
25 more pedestrians have been killed
up to July l this year than were
killed in the first six months of 1889.
A total of IS fatalities in the pedes-
trian CLASSIC per cent of the total
deaths-have been charged against
the states safety record so far, COM
pared with only 60 during the cor
responding period of last year.
The number of fatal non-pedestrian
motor vehicle accidents has actually
decreased this year, and IL of the
131 deaths in this group were caused
in one Academia catastrophe such as
is unlikely to happen again for many
years to come.
More Education Needed.
'It is often possible" w. F. Rosen-
wald, department traffic and safety
engineer, concludes, 'to charge GER
tain types of accidents to seasonal
causes, such as icy surfaces, weather,
or other unusual driving conditions.
Pedestrian deaths, however, do not
fall into any such definite category,
for fatalities of this type doubled in
January and April of this year over
the same months of last year, while
they were practically identical in
number in the other four months of
the year.
Zone of the points most clearly in
Dictated by fatality figures is that
pedestrians require much more edu-
cation in safety practices than they
have received. They must learn that
in addition to their rights and priv
ileges, they also have certain duties
and obligations which they must meet
if they are to walk in safety"

Housewives Warned
OF Food Poisoning

Housewives are warned by physi-
clans to keep in mind certain special
scources of food poisoning so as to
avoid them in hot weather.
What used to be one of the common
est, the botulinus, is becoming much
rarer but still occurs occasionally.
1t usually results from eating home
canned food. The botulinus is an or
ganism found in the soil and poison
Gus only when imprisoned alive in a
sealed container. Under these cir
cumstances it produces a poison that
is highly dangerous.
Thorough cooking at high temporal
lures before canning will kill the Or
ganism. Cooking the food at least 20
minutes after removal from the can
will also destroy the poison.
