Member Oregon Stato SUBSCRIPTION - $1.50 SIX MONTHS - - .50. SAMPLE CORY ONE YEAR - -THREE MONTHS RICHLAND, ORE., THURSDAY. A PLAGUEJJF fear Vague Terrors Bar Lots of Folks From Living on the Land. DREAD SNAKES AND INSECTS. They See Dangers and Porils In Coun try Life That Do Not Exist, and So Prefer Crowded Cities Tho Truth About Animal Bites and Poisons. Fears of iujury and even death t'nm Fiiake bite, terror occasioned by danj-ors imaginary uud unseen, keep many nerv-, ous ieop!e from living on the land, and thee swiseless fears play a larger iwrt than inot lieople imagine In keeplm; people huddled in apartment hou.-o-t, orowdeil iuto towns and cities. And the cot of living soars and soars. Snake and Insect poh-onin:; terrorises millions of well meaning men and woin n, when, as a matter of fact, dan ger fruin falling while running the lnwn mower is much more real. Fear peems to become a obsession, and the word "deadly" creeps Into conversation at every verso end. The rattlesnake Is deadly." The copierhead and moc casin arc "deadly." So Is the wholly mvthienl nuff adder. In hardly less degree Is the tarantula "deadly," while varying lethal capacities are ascribed to the centipede, the s-orpion, the kiss ing hug and sundry other forms of In Mjet life. I'seudo science to the con trary notwithstanding, there is no liv ing thing within tho boundaries of the United States".. America whose bite or Ming Is sure death or (with one iossl ble exception) even probable death. There are fle arietiei of venomous serpents In th country, three of them Crotalids and two belonging to the claps family. Tho claps arc rare. The crotalids (rattlesnake, moccasin and copperhead) are common and of the widest geographical distribution. Yet. on the ba.si.s of a'tual evidence, tho amazing fact stands out that only about eighty persons, so far as ls'nscer tainable. have ever died from snake bites in the United States. ISo it remembered that death follow ing snake bite Is not necessarily tho same thing as death from snake bite. Error In treatment plays no small part in vitiating the statistics. For "error" read "whisky." Whoever Is primarily responsible for the hoary superstition that liquor In huge (loses Is useful In snake poisoning has many a life to an swer for. A whole bottle of raw whis ky forced down the throat of u man tin-, accustomed to alcohol Is pretty likely to kill him iuid is absolutely certain to cause grave poisoning. Fully as much terror attaches, in tho country districts, to the puff ndder or Band viper as to the rattlemiako or cop perhead. This Is n suggestive bit of superstition, since there's no such thing as an adder or viper on the western hemisphere and never lias boon one, unless It came carefully pickled In u Jnr. "What passes for tho supposedly deadly reptile Is the common hog nosed or bull snake. It Is about as dangerous as an infuriated rabbit. Hut it puts up one of the best "bluffs" known to nat ural history.

In some sections of the country the spider hysteria prevails. I'cople shiver every time they see a spider. Yet In all the United States there i known but one iolsonous spider. Strangely enough, j the one dangerous spider on the , American continent Is small, obscure , and practically unknown. I.ntrodectus mactans Is Its scientific name. It is about tho size of a large iea, black;, with n red sjK)t on the back a useful danger signal and spins a small web In outhouses or around woodpiles. Hut few specimens have ever been identi fied in this country. Tho only Insect which really kills is the mosquito, yet less fear Is expressed about its activities than about any oth er iMjison carrying Insect or make. Compared with the mosquito as a real menace, all the combined brod of snakes, scorpions, centipedes, tarantu las anil other iet bugaboos of our child isli romantblsm nre utterly negligible are as figments to reality, as shadow to substance. A clear understanding of those popu lar fears and superstitions would aid greatly In giving assurance of s.ifely to the man or woman who would till the soil, wlio would work in tho opei fields, who would live In the country.
