WE AINT GONNA MAKE NO MO! Latest Hit Among Bob Samardiclc’e Converts. (By Holt County’s Poet Laureat.) Bob and his pal that caught us— Came sneaking up the hill. One of them grabbed the pair of us While the other took our still. Chorus Oh! We Ain’t gonna make na mo’, no rno’, We ain’t gonna make no mo’, fhsy got us fair and made us swear, We ain’t gonna make no mo’. They got m ’long ’bout midnight; They took us in their ear, And long ’fore light, we got a sight Of another judges’ bar. The judge there didn’t know us, But !:e didn’t call us ducks; And I thought I’d die when he squint ed his eye And said two-hundred bucks. Chords Well, quickly I started to pay him, And dug down in my stock; But ho. soured my smile, as he counted the pile Saying: sixty days in hock. We’re housed up now a plenty In little dingie rooms; And all day long we sing a song, But we keep on making brooms. Chorus We’ll be here now for quite a while, But friends best not come near; Especially, I think, if they want a drink. For we have but water here. Chorus Bob dumped all the good stuff out— Just let it go to waste. He knew by our eye that we were dry But he never saved a taste. Chorus If I ever should get out of here, If I ever once get free; I’ll raise my voice, to sing my choice And this is what ’twill be. Chorus I’m broken down for ever, My morale’s very low; But if I get sick, I’ll call Doc, quick; But I ain’t gonna make no mo’. Chorus —F. O. HAZEN. Uie BULL’S EYE Editor and Qenerof ~ WIU.

The Silver Triggs bullsuake farm, north of Beaver Flats, will have its first crop of hatbands on the market several months earlier than usual this year, owing to the adoption of more modern equipment by Triggs to speed up the industry. He also will extend the period of production at least three months a year by means of the im provements. The farm was started several years ago for the purpose of supplying snakeskin hatbands to the Wild West movie actors of Hollywood and later was expanded when the demand for them spread to the tourists. It now is one of the largest snakeskin hat band farms of the entire country. Much of the original stock of snakes still are active on the industry, but one drawback in keeping up with the demand has been that the bullsnakes only shed their skins during the hot months, and not when in the torpid condition of the early spring, late fall and winter, which corresponds to the hibernating t period among animals. The hibernation of the snake differs from that of the higher orders, in that the reptile thaws out and becomes active during any period of warm weather during the hibernating period, be it only for a day. Triggs hit upon the plan of speed ing up skin shedding among his skins by reading in his farm paper about the people who put electric lights in their chicken coops during the short daylight period of winter to give the hens more time to lay. He at first attempted to accomplish the result by heating the cellars in which the snakes arc kept in winter, but this did not prove satisfactory. He then, after consultation with Doc Wilkin son, Beaver Flats scientist, began in cluding egg-shapked electric light bulbs in their monthly diet of eggs. After the feeding a sufficient strong current was turned on to set up a gentle glow in the lamps, and by this means the body temperatures of the reptiles was raised to summer heat and they began shedding just as they do in August. The arrangement also prevents snakes from straying. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. The special meetings began on Wednesday evening. Rev. and Mrs. Benedict are conducting the meeting.

On Wednesday afternoon, April 29th the Literary and Art department of the Women’s club held an are exhibit in tlie Library. There were about 30 pictures, copies of the old masters and more recent favorites placed around in the room, interspersed with exhib its of beautiful tapestry, loaned for the occasion by Mrs. Gilligan, Mrs. I ongstaff and Mrs. Neil Brennan. There 'were also several pieces of rare antique and oriental pottery from Switzerland, Ireland, England, Japan, ffcul China, the history of which prov ed very interesting when, told by the owners. At the beginning of the program, a memory contest of art and artists'In which twelve pictures were included, resulted in Mrs. Win. Biglin winning a copy of one of Taylor’s Series of Bible pictures. The following pictures were in the contest: Sir Galahad, Children of the Shell, Feeding the Birds, Blue Boy, Daybreak, Baby Stuart, Age of Innocence, Christ Among the Doctors, The Boy and the Rabbit, Dance of the Nymphs) Infant Samuel, and “1 shall Lilt up Mine Eyes Unto the Hills.” Mrs. Hammond read a very Inter esting paper on Gain borough, one of the most loved of English portrait painters, having on display G&inbor ough’s “Blue Boy”. Miss Loretta Ryan played a beautiful pt&no selection, aft er which a general discussion and in spection, followed. Twenty-five club members were present at the meting, which waa one of the club's many “Red Letter Days”. Mrs. F J. Dishner was chairman of the Art Committee who planned and carried out this program, and she de serves much credit for a very pleas ant and instructive afternoon. It is a matter of great regret' that more of the women of O’Neill, do not avail themselves of the opportunities pre sented by the Woman’s club. On Wednesday, May 6th, was Li brary' Day in the Literature and Art department. The members were asked to bring donations to the library, and a number of good books were receiv ed, although not ns many as the Club had hoped for. Only a small number of ladies were present, but the meet ing lacked nothing in interest. Those who stay at home are always the los ers. Mrs. F. J. Dishner, gave a most con vincing and interesting talk o% the Township Library, setting forth its advantages, its needs, and opportuni ties. Women are urged to patronize their library, and have tiieir children do so. The subject of the “Story Hour” which so many libraries have on Sat urday afternoon, was brought up and discussed, and Miss Catherine Loy, a member of the Senior class Hit the O’Neill High school, demonstrated s-tory telling to an imaginary group of little children. This was most en tertaining to the hearers and showed wlint might bo done in that line. Peo ple of O’Neill are urged to make dona tions of Juvenile books to the library, as those are what are most needed at the present time. Miss Miriam Gilll gan gave a. very beautiful piano solo, which 'was much appreciated. Miss Ilia Purcell, favored us with a reading which was much enjoyed, r.nd after that Mrs. Dishner served a de lightful lunch to ' preaert. div Ing which a re?: octal hour we * joyed.
