WANTS AMERICAN FARMERS
TO RAISE SNAKES WITH CHICKS.
Every farmer and every poultry
raiser should keep a few snakes as a
protection to his crops and poultry,
says, Allen S. Williams, secretary of
the International Herpetological sc-
ciety in a statement just issued. Wil-
liams is a traveler and a lecturer and
snakes are his hobby. He has collect-
ed reptiles in every part of the West-
ern hemisphere.
“The idea is simple,” Williams says
“Rats, weasels and other rodents de-
stroys crops and are ‘the natural
enemies of domestic fowls. Snakes
are the natural enemies of rodents.

Keep a few snakes to kill off the
young rodents and in time your ]
crops and chickens will be safe. To
the cereal crops alone in the United
States rodents cause an annual loss
of $100,000,000. If snakes had even a
half a chance the loss to farmers and
poultry raisers would be reduced to
practically nothing. There are a dozen
varieties which could accomplish the
work and are non-poisonous.”
HINTS FOR STATE-WIDE !
GOOD ROADS DAY.
Every big city has a clean up day.
Make the State-wide Good Roads
Day” Wednesday, May 26th, a Cleagn-
up day for the commonweatlh.
Wednesday, May 26th is a poor day
to select for your wedding. There is a
more important duty due to the com-
munity on that date. Don’t forget it.
A day’s hard work on the highways
means more than a year’s benefit to
the state.
Let the big cities send their jitney
busses out into the suburbs on Wed-
nesday, May 26 “State Wide Good
Roads Day.” They may not earn
many jitneys but they will do a lot of
good in transporting the volunteer
workers to and from their places of
work on that date.
Don’t forget it. Think about it.
Talk about it. Dream about it, and
when “State-wide Good Roads Day”
dawns on May 26th, get out and
WORK.
SPECIAL CHURCH SERVICES. .
Brethren Church special services
beginning at 7:30, are being held each
evening this week in the Meyersdale
church. At each of these services
one or more of the parables of Jesus

LAST TRIBUTE TO NURNBERG.
United States Cruiser Played German
Air as Ship Sailed Out to Destruction.
Berlin.—The strains of the German
national hymn played by the band of
an American cruiser anchored in the
port of Honolulu were the last friendly
greetings for the crew of the ill fated
German cruiser Nurnberg. The Nurn-
berg was destro-ed in the battle off
the Falkland islands on Dec. 8.
Relatives of : sailor on the Nurn-
berg have just received his last letter,
in which he tells how ‘‘three thunder-
ing cheers were the response from us
as the band aboard an American cruis-
er which lay anchored in the port
struck up the tune of our national
hymn. It may be the final adieu for
us. Pt was a noble, inspiring thing for
those American sailors to do. They
knew that outside the harbor the ene-
my in superior force was waiting to
send us to the whales for food.”
The letter is dated Oct. 11, 1914, and
was written as the Nurnberg steamed
out to join Admiral von Spee’s squad-
ron, which was 1:ter sent to the bot-
tom by ‘the British squadron. The. ot
ter, together with other mail, was giv-
en to the captain of a neutral sailing
vessel which the Nurnberg met just
outside the port.
