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. COMMUNITY IS URGED T0 BACK .
