FIELD FOR RESEARCH AMONG PREHISTORIC ANIMALS IS GREAT (By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Feb. 1 The j prehistoric past of the fox. deer and! . . .. . .,., j a " OUS La Brea Dits. a tomb of ha f a million years, Dr. E. E. Hadley, local paleontologist told members of the, Southern California Academy of Sci j He reviewed the past a million or more years in which the movements of the elephant or mastodon, the threetoed horse or miohippus, the camel or camelops, the sabertoothed tiger or smilodon, and the sloth family were' traced beyond the pleistocene age into the pliocene, miocene, oligocene and eocene periods of the tertiary era. While the horse, camel and elephant of today remain they are very small compared to their ancestors who were apparently wiped out by the last glacial period when the great ice fields of the north swept down over a California that was not so sunny, and these prehistoric giant mammals with j the giant ground sloth became extinct! rM? 250000 1M1 No Large Animals. i But, back in the eocene period a million or more years before, just after conclusion of the mesozoic age, there were no giant animals, and the great ground sloth of the pleistocene age was just a little armadillo such as now exists In South America, he said. The Imperial elephant more than twice the size oi any existing toaav, also came from a Uttle animal that probably was no larger than our horse or pony of today. The saver-toothed tiger, several specimens of which were found in La Brea, was the most ferocious animal In the world about a half a million years ago, Dr. Hadley said.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanhorn

If you are intent on attending the meeting of the Milton Grange on Saturday evening, Feb. 4. don't forget that you are expected to bring a valentine. These valentines are not to be put on sale, or shipped to the missionaries for distribution among ihe heathen, but are to be exchanged freely and joyfully in the hall, at the close of the regular program, during the social period Millions of people who are selling shoes, or wearing them out, also other millions engaged diversely in making a living or in clipping tax-exempt coupons, are as ignorant as babes of the fact that the Grange has a "Yell." But it is even so. The "yell" is the initial number on the Saturday night pro-! gram. i ollowine the veh and some

"But don't forget the valentine," is the admonition of Mrs. Ina Crawford, Grange lecturer. The Farmers' Social Season. The social season in the country districts is now at flood tide. Begin ning early in January and lasting up to March 1, or a bit later, the farm folk have a period of relaxation, while nature sleeps. This is the season of Grange programs, of crowded farm bu reau meetings, of farm institutes, com-1 munity sings and various rural entert; ' . .i ...!..:.:. i tainments and social activities. The "first annual" farm institute to be held in New Garden township will be. staged at Fountain City on Tuesday Feb. 7th. This indicates that, although New Garden township occupied its present site when Noah vacated the Ark, the farm institute is a modem instance of rural progression. Well, anyway, the Friends church the scene of a three-session ,ai6c: .a tu uT .rc D.jur: v,. a "!gLe f'O" dinner' served by the ladies of the grange. This program makes a happy combina ion. Farmers Are Thinking One of the evidences that farmers T n o I f n n rrn Vinll i.-t In rw - nt are thinking along progressive lines the Orange Judd Farmer says 1 "Reports from sessions of the farmers' institute in various parts of j uuiuio riiu n mat lucoc iihl t uuta flic bio- oft0 - several seasons. The reason is stated by one leader to be that folks a7e hungry for real information that will help out their farming methods. "This is a significant indication. It points to readjustment of farming operations to fit conditions, which cannot fail to bring Improvement. Maintenance of soil fertility, lower r "'".v t-.v-wu.. man, these are subjects of basic im portance which some men are study-' ing today as they have not studied for ' a number of years." Freight Rates and Labor The farmer who is hopeful of freight rates being lowered during his own lifetime Is warned by the president of the National Industrial Traffic league that: "Unless railroad wage rates are ; cut there will be no freight rate !cuts." This was his declaration and notice served on the Interstate commerce commission, on Monday. In criticizing the railroad labor board President Chandler asserted it to be the duty of the Interstate commerce j commission to advise the labor board ! j that a cut in labor rates paid by railroads is "advisable Illinois Corn Selling at 40c Central Illinois is selling more corn this week than at any date since the last crop came on the market, is the j report. The reason given is that bids j have been sent out offering the farmer 40 cents net at his station. May wheat is now selling at the top figure in more than 60 days. Export demand is fair and the drought in the southwest continues. Central and western Kansas wheat was caught byzero temperatures, without snow protection. Rye is firm and higher, largely on account of buying for Russian relief operations. When the general average price of hogs moved up to $9 on Monday it struck the highest "average" price in the past five months. The top on light bacon weights and on pigs at Chicago was $9.40, against $9.65 at Indianapolis and $10 at Pittsburg, on Monday, in the face of rather heavy receipts. Shippers bought 19,000 of the 58,000 hogs at cnicago, on Monday. Hogs added i 10 cents to 15 cents to the "tops" on j Tuesday, compared with Monday's advances.

turns for 1920 show a large increase in our horse population since 1900, improbable as that may appear. It is stated that there were 20,200.000 horses in the country in January. 1920, against 13,537,000 in 1900. While it is true that the driving horse has been elmost entirely superseded by the car, our farm development in the last 20 years has been large enough to warrant the use of nearly 7.000.000 more horses, despite the incoming of car, tractor and truck.

Morris, supervisor of rural schools in the state department, of education, declared in an address here today at Farmers' Week at Ohio State university. "Unless the state can render greater financial aid through proper legisla tion, there is but little future for the schools of the hill counties of Ohio," Mr. Morris asserted. There must be more money to build new and better school buildings in th counties in the hills, Mr. Morris saifl. Buildings Disgrace. "Disgraces." and "pest houses," is the way the speaker characterized nany of the rural school buildings in the hills. "The state should make it possible for the poor counties to properly house their children, as well as to have them taught by good teachers," Mr: Morris continued. "It is the duty of the state to properly educate the school youth, and this duty is not mi; by doling out to the schools needing aid a part of the teachers' salaries. superior to me one-room school, an the establishment of such schools a great deal towards the solving of rural school problems, but, he said, the topography of the hill counties ol the state is such lhat the one-teacher school must bs continued for many more years.
