Federal Legislation Advocated by Pennsylvania Retail Merchants in Convention. Federal legislation for the relief of grocers from alleged injustice done them by the State pure food laws was advocated at yesterday's sessions of the Retail Merchants' association of Pennsylvania, in convention in Philadelphia. Delegates from about 100 cities and towns throughout the State reported the elimination of the trading stamp system. R. F.

RATTLE SNAKE RECORD Crew of a Portable Saw Mill in Bradford County Have Killed 117 Since May 1st. The crew of a portable saw mill in the Kettle creek region, near Galeton, Bradford county, holds the unique record for the state. This crew of 10 men has killed the 1st of May, 117 rattlesnakes.

The little mill is at the edge of what has proved to be a Veritable rattlers' paradise, and the hotter the weather the thicker the snakes. The record for a single day is nine, most of this number having been disturbed under a huge pile of laths that the men loaded. The damp ground underneath where the laths had been piled was worn smooth by the reptiles. The largest snake killed measured five feet two inches, and, strange to say. that reptile had but four rattles.

The little lumber and lath yard about the mill, having been piled last season is believed to have sheltered the snakes all winter, or, at least, as they came down off the high and dry hills to the little dam. they sought the cool of the soil beneath the lumber and thus colonized.
