THIS BULL SNAKES —
EARNING HIS KEEP
A big brown Bull Snake, five or
six teet long, with a thick body
and a stubby tail, comes to the
Cowles home daily for his breakfast, and he gets it. Every morning the snake shows up in a
most friendly manner, and glides
around the kitchen floor until he
receives some attention. Charlie
feeds it scraps. After his breakfast the snake plays around for a
while in the house then glides off
into the yard, he disappears and
reappears, but always comes back
for breakfast. Charlie feels that
friend snake earns his board by
keeping rattlers away, devouring
rodents and frightening hawks, all
of which are a menace to. the
little chicks.

To The People of Nevada City:
The splendid custom, observed for

spirit of neighborly friendliness and
cooperation which this custom inspires cannot be anything but beneficial to both communities.
This year is our turn, the county

celebration, and our Sister City has
