July 17. —A real snake I story comes from the vcinity of j Warm Springs, Cumberland county, ; and was told here by a party of l York women, who were en route to their homes, after spending a month's outing in the mountain, i The story includes a battle with a nest of snakes, of various varieties, ! and measuring anywhere in length from 15 inches to six foot. Mrs. 10. j A. Clark. York, who is the sponsor of the story, as tales of snakes and j snake tales are, is full of action and j involves the death of one dozen of the copperhead variety, half as j many blacksnakes, live moccasins : and one adder. j Several days ago while in camp Mrs. Clark and a few other women who were also on the outing at j Warm Springs were taking a hike i across the country, several miles trom tlie scene of the camp. Reach ing a barren spot in a gully through which they were passing they sud denly saw the presence of several j coiled snakes, ready to strike, im mediately in front of them. Being possessed of courage and stout clubs j they promptly killed the reptiles. 1 Before they were able to make a • getaway, snakes appeared from i every direction, from behind rocks and from underbrush, in numbers ; and sizes that necessitated a real light on the part of Mrs. Clark and i her friends. i Hostilities began and within the I course of some minutes the casual ties among the ranks of the serpents ; were counted by the intrduders. The dead totaled 24. ranging in length ■ front 15 inches to six feet, the lat ter being a black snake. The wo men collected the snakes and carried them back to camp where they were strung on a long pole and photo graphed. Mrs. Clark produced a l photograph to verify her story.

ELEPHANTS OF AFRICA ARE TO BE KILLED OFF | Animals in Addo Bush Forest Will be Extermi nated I.ondon. July 17.—The life of the : famous African elephant seems to be 1 in danger for the South African Cape | Provincial Council proposes to ex terminate those in the Addo Bush i Forest, n'ear Port Elizabeth. For generations past these animals ' have been a great nuisance to the i farmers. They have damaged crops ' and killed several persons. I The African elephant is noted for its laziness—quite the reverse to its Indian relative who when called up on cheerfully and easily shoulders a burden of a ton or so. However, an effort is to be made to train the young ones for log-hauling in the Cape forests. The rounding up of the animals has involved the erection of a num ber of lofty observation towers and so large are the numbers to be kill ed that the shooting of the animals will take over six months. The natives enjoy elephant's meat, and the prospect of an unlimited supply for several months Is being eagerly looked forward to. The Provisional Council's an nouncement has caused keen regret among naturalists, some of whom say that should the threat he carried in to effect, the elephant, like the mastodon and the ichthyosaurus, may become extinct.

Returning Soldiers Seek Baggage Long Delayed Now York, July 17. —Fully 150,- 000 trunks and other pieces of bag gage belonging to officers and en listed men who have returned from Europe have not yet been received by their owners, it was learned yes terday from the chief clerk of the Lost Hagguge Section at Hoboken. This information was brought out after many soldiers had made com plaints to the authorities that they were in the city without their extra uniforms, toilet articles, and valu ables which they had packed in their trunks. Although many of the men thought that the baggage had been lost, the chief clerk said yesterday that 300,000 trunks were still ex pected and that they were coming in at the rate of from 5,000 to 6,000 daily. He said that 75,000 pieces of baggage were in the port now, 25,000 of which had not been claim ed. It seems that a great deal of the baggage is sent to the United States long after the owner returns, on account of lack of space on the ships, or that it is sent before he leaves the other side. v A GEXI'IXE THIRST QUENCHER Horsford'H Acid IMioaplintr makes all drinks tastier and more sat isfying—makes you feel better.

July 17.—President Wilson, by proclamations put en tire control of the wheat situation in the hands of Julius 11. Barnes, Wheat Director, making it possible for him. by a license system to reg ulute the export and import of wheat and wheat Hour, the domestic and foreign distribution, the milling pro cesses and the baking of bread and other products. With the authority vested in him, Mr. Barnes will he able to regulate importations of wheat frcnt Aus tralia and South American coun tries, which have large supplies of wheat, selling below the Govern ment guaranteed price, and from Canada, despite the reciprocity agreement. it will, also, to a large extent, give Mr. Barnes authority to decide whether there shall be any change of policy that will operate for the reduction of bread prices, with the Government paying the losses re sulting from maintaining the guar anteed price to the producers. Mr. Barnes has been opposed to any plan that would bring about such a decrease to the consumer at the expense of the $1,000,000,000 fund, it is said, and recently wrote ,to Congress that he had made a proHt of $26,000,000 for the Gov JULY 17, 1919. ernment in the handling of wheat. This statement has stirred up some members of Congress who have been talking of the high cost of living and expressed the opinion that the public should have a re duction in bread costs, at least to a point where the Government would break even rather than make a profit. flaroivacc The jar that's sealed with PAROWAX No mould o decay is possible when all the I —~*\ Paiowax is clean, pure, easy to use and f / Just melt a cake and dip the top of your jar. 4 II Buy it of your grocer. !
