Trade Between Indians Is Shown

Relics Reveal Barter by Tribes Separated by Geographical Barriers. Baltimore. Md.—That trade relations existed between the prehistoric Indian groups in America, though they were separated by geographical barriers and tribal enmities, is further evidenced In a collection of archeological objects from the Columbia river valley, in the state of Washington, obtained by the Smithsonian Institution. The relics were gathered and are sow being classified by Herbert W. Krieger, curator of ethnology at the National museum, under the Smith Souian. Among the artifacts found by Mr. Krieger at the ancestral homes deserted by the Columbia river Indians store than 100 years ago. are catlinite ■ pipes from Minnesota and pipe* from the Pueblo region In the Southwest; abalone shell charms from Alaska; ha- j Hot is shells from southern California, and deutaiium beads from the Pacific coast. ’ establish Link.

' uious Indian center of early times. according to Mr. Krieger For 500 miles, from the Dalles in Oregt® to the Canadian border, the campsites ‘ and burial grounds line the river banks. These Indians were masters of the stone worker's art, according to the Smithsonian collection. They cultivated only tobacco and got their food from the river and from roots. The dead were cremated with their possessions. or buried In cemeteries on islands in the'river. Samples of the picture writing practiced by the Indians abound. The markings are about one-half inch deep, usually made In columns of : basalt. Animals, such as sheep, goats, deer, and elk. were commonly represented; also the human figure; conventional designs, such as the rising sun. and . mnemonic or memory writing, consisting of arbitrary signs understood by the members of' the tribe. The writing was apparently more a means of artistic expression than a method for conveying thought, according to Mr. Krieger Find Horae Picture. Only one picture of a horse has been found.

Employer Prefers Dirty-Faced Boys Londotu—Dirty-faced youths make excellent office boys when given a good scrubbing, the Westminster juvenile employment advisory committee has concluded after numerous experiments. Some employers prefer dirtyfaced boys to begin with. One employer wrote to the committee : “I want an honest little tough with rather dirty knees and a soiled face, and thoroughly understanding that life Is a struggle and the devil takes the hindmost I prefer them (i.e., boys not devils) to be short, sturdily built either fair and dirty-faced, or dark and red-faced, with just a suspicion of a cold In the head.” The advisory committee commenting on the request for a “little tough.” says: “All employers are not so easy to satisfy. by any means,”

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

THE BRIDE’S GOWN ——— I® D. J. Walah.) LOU ANDRUS, glancing out across the row of scarlet geraniums on the window sill, saw a young girl mounting the steps of the bouse opposite. Such a slender, graceful, shabby young girt In such a thin coat for that bitter winter morning. A stranger, too. even to Lou. who thought she knew everybody in her small home town. The door of the house opposite opened and Mrs. Clark appeared on the threshold. Mra. Clark eras a popular dressmaker. She was a threwd and sharp-eyed woman of fifty who made dresses without sentiment. charging the highest prices for her work. She shook her bead at the timid young girt and closed the door positively. The girt stood a moment in a troubled. uncertain way. And now Lou saw that she had a parcel tucked under her arm. A dress to be made! And Mrs. Clark had refused to make It. not bcause she could not snatch time, but because the young girl was unknown to her and of an appearance that did not warrant gracious consideration. Coining down the step® the girl wiped her eyes. She was crying! it was as important as all that. Well. Lou had been young herself once. She remembered a dress that she had wanted very much for a certain time, but the dressmaker had not got It finished. So Lou had stayed away from the party, and that night Eben Gray had proposed to Bessie Burns because I.ou wasn’t there and because he thought she had stayed away on purpose to snub him. She had come just as near as that to happiness. It was over long ago and seldom remembered now. At seventy-two even a great disappointment leaves only the faintest Impression. But all her life Lou Andrus had been better able to understand what went on around her. And so she perceived that for this young girl the exigency was bitter Indeed. She tapped on the window. The girl passed from intense cold, wind and scudding snow flakes into a place of warmth, bloom, intimate, comfortable beauty. Nothing so cheery as Lou’s •iving room was ever imagined, yet there was nothing costly there, pnly the simple expression of a wise and gentle-natured woman. As the girl sat down the parcel •lipped from her grasp and fell upon the floor. The Insecure wrapping burst open and disclosed a roll of creamy silk. “Oh. you have a dress to be made!“ Lou said. “Would you mind showing me your material 1* The girl unfolded the scanty pattern. Quite beautiful stuff. thought, as she touched tt “It—it’s for my wedding dress.” the girl said. Lou looked up tt her. She was >retty In a soft-eyed, thin-cheeked way, dark with long lashes. Lou had always loved dark people—since Eben Gray. “Tour wedding dress 1“ she said. “And Mrs. Clark perhaps couldn’t find time to make it for you.” The girt flushed. “They’re all so busy. I shall get a pattern and do what I can with it myself. But—you see!” She held out her right hand. There was a wound on one slim finger which, while healed, •till looked painful. “I caught It in the machine. I work at the shirt factory.* she explained. Poor child! No she wouldn't be able to do much with a wedding dress. “I used to sew," Lou said. “I sewed for years, and people thought I did very well. Os course, now—” She paused instead of saying that since she had received the wonderful lecacy she had been able to live in a pleasanter. fuller way. “If you will let me I will make this dress for you." she said. The girt’s face lighted, then shadowed. “Ob, It would be too much—you making a dress for me!" “But a wedding dress, dear, is altogether different Maybe I wouldn’t want to make just a common sort of dress. But a wedding drees 1s not I common. I long to make your wedding dress." The girt understood that note tn Lou's quiet voice. For answer she lifted one of Lou’s white, delicately veined bands and kissed It Her lips trembled, her dark eyes were full of grateful tears. Lou produced tea and cake tn a way so deft as to appear almost mysterious. The girt opened her thin coat her bands lost their redness, her eyes began to sparkle. She told about her lover. WUI

Country Doctor Passing Down Road to Oblivion

The good old country doctor is no more. He has clattered off down the road to oblivion tn his -one-horse shay- And the village doctor is foltowing him Dr. WUHam Alen Pusey. former president of the American Medical association. writing tn the American Mercury. says almost one-third of the small towns of the country have lost their physicians during the last decade. The big cities are monopolising the medical profession. Doctor Posey’s explanation is: “The high coot of medical education peculiarly influences the distribution of rural doctors. In the first place, it bar* out the rural medical students to * whom the rural districts must look for I their physicians. Almost no country | boys are going to medical schools to- | day. In the second place, the rural I district* cannot pay the price in 1‘ money that the present medical service demands." It twain* to be seen whether publie health in the country will suffer.

Trent Why. Lou knew Will Trent; a fine, honest lad. though poor. Will would make their little girt a grand husband. Lucky she was to get Will Trent. Sho told a little about Herself. How her father had died when she was a baby and her mother had married again: how a flock of half-broth-ers and sisters had made It necessary for her to look after herself. “So 1 came here and got work. I thought it was hard work until I found my Will." The way she said “my Will!" After the tea and cake Lou measured the pattt-ra which the girl had brought and they laid it out upon the snowy, sn.mmertng breadths. Just enough. But it would need a little lace. Lou remembered a flounee she bad—lovely! Lou had a glorious time making that dress. Skill returned to her delicate hands. The fabric was almost rich, worthy of the exquisite flounce. She could understand how the girl had saved, a bit at a time, for her wedding dress. Her name was Helen Jones. Lou forgot the Jones part and called her Helen all the time she was planning. Helen was going to be married, not at the parsonage, but here tn this very room. There should be flowers, a cake. Ice cream and a gift for the bride of some marked silver. Oh. Lou had fine, sweet dreams as she sewed. Often she forgot that she was seventy-two years old. Mrs. Howard helped her with the wedding preparations. Mrs. Howard was Lou’s standby when It came to general housework. She made the cake and bought the flowers for the bouquets and laid the table and ordered the lee cream. Mrs. Howard, good soul, did her best because she loved Lou and saw that all this was making Lou happy. And the wedding—with Will Trent, clean, vigorous, pale with joy and the little shimmering bride, rosy and tremulous. Will’s sister came and a favorite brother of Helen’s, but nobody else was there save Lou. Mrs. Howard and the minister. Will had prepared a tiny home for bls bride and they went there from their wedding. The joyous, loving young pair! After it was all over Lou. a little tired, but pleasantly exhilarated, sat down by the fire to think it over while Mrs. Howard put the house to rights. There hadn't been a single hitch from beginning to end. “When Helen finds that silver chest that I ordered placed on her diningroom table she is going to be pleased I know.” Lou thought. “I had to sacrifice a bit. after al! the rest, to get it, even though it was only a worthy sort of plate. But. good land, a thing of this kind only happens once in a lifetime.” From the drawers of a small table beside her Lou took a little brown case which opened with a spring. It was an old-fashioned thiug, but it held the picture of a young man with very pink cheeks and curly dark hair. As she looked at it he seemed to live again for her. Yet he had been dead for more than forty years. Treat Coal Not as Fuel, but as a Raw Material The growing practice in Europe of treating coal, from the scientific and industrial viewpoint, not as a fuel but as a raw material. Is pointed out by Basil Miles, administrative commissioner to the International Chamber of Commerce. “The experiments carried out in Germany to obtain a liquid combustible from coal, based on this theory.” he says, “are taking on more and more importance. The German dye trust now proposes to proceed with its researches on a much larger scale, using a specially installed factory at Merseburg, ft is also announuced that numerous Rheno-Westphalian coal mines have now founded, with the support of the Tar Improvement company. an Organization for the extraction of liquid fuel from coal under the Bergius process. The capital for the* new company will be 4.tXI»AM) marks.” Getting the News “1 just heered a piece of news!” stated Mrs. Johnson, upon her return from a neighborhood calk “At a wed ding down about Clapboard Springs last night, one of the serenaders was shot, and they've arrested the groom for shooting him." ’’Well. I’ll be good gosh danged!” surprisedly ejaculated Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. “Must be some sort of a law ag'in shooting serenaders—first I ever heered of it, though.”— Kansas City Star. The Cat!

It Is quite possible that Doctor Pusey has overlooked the fact that improved highways and reliable motoi ear* have brought the country much nearer to the city than it was a generation ago.

Winter Layers Help the Profits

Poultry Prices Usually Highest During Fall and Early Winter. . (Pr«par«d by the States Department of Agriculture.) Prices of farm eggs as weil as of live and dressed poultry are usually highest during fall and the early winter months. Profits from the farm flock can be materially increased by taking advantage of this market situation in handling the flock, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Timing production to the market demand can be accomplished best by hatching early and by having early maturing strains. Revenue From. Egqe. Most of the revenue from the form flock is obtained from eggs, it is important. therefore, to develop the flock from good laying strains. This requires careful selection of hens that mature early, that lay best after they begin, that seldom go broody, and that lay well throughout the late summer and folk The size of the flock is an important factor to consider also. Maintaining about 200 or 400 birds enables the flock to be divided to advantage for breeding purposes. A flock of 2UO. for instance, can readily be divided into two units, 50 yearlings and 150 pullets; and a flock of 400 into lUO yearlings and two units of 150 pullets each. The pullets are used primarily for egg production and the yearlings for breeding purposes. Yearlings are preferable to pullets as breeders because usually they lay larger eggs, which hatch Into bigger chicks. Moreover, the yearling hens have gone through a molt the preceding fall, and thus have had a rest prior to the breeding season, and for that reason they usually produce stronger chicks than pullets. A still more important reason for using yearlings as breeders is that they should be only the best birds of. the pullet flock of the preceding laying year, and the continuous selection from year to year should assist greatly in Improving the quality of the pullets raised each year. Farmers should give more attention to the selection of their breeding stock every year and flock units of about 200 or 400 birds will enable them to do this to advantage. Hatch Pullets Early. Since pullets normally do not begin laying until they are at least seven months old. it is important that they be batched early enough to permit laying during the season of high prices—from October to February. These and other points of interest to the form flock owner are discussed In Farmers’ Bulletin 1524-F, now ready for distribution. Copies may be obtained. as long as the supply lasts, by application to the United States Department of Agriculture. Washington. D. C. Removing Spray Residue From Apples and Pears A progress report has been issued by the Oregon experiment station dealing with experiments on the removal of spray residue from fruit.

REPAIR ALL FARM BUILDINGS BEFORE WINTER WEATHER COMES

Particularly Wise to Arrange House for Machinery. Construction of the necessary outhouses and sheds and repairing the barns and other buildings is a good job to occupy one’s attention before .■old weather comes. The buildings usually constructed during the late fall consist of implement sheds, poultry houses and hog houses, states Pref. David S. Weaver, agricultural engineer. Where concrete foundations or floors are to be used. It Is best to put these. In before hard freezing weather comes. “This work Is not expensive when the labor on the farm is used." says Professor Weaver. “The prospective builder should talk the matter over with his lumber dealer and see how little cash it takes to put up a shed in which to house the machinery. We find that there is a depreciation of about 15 per cent each winter in that machinery allowed to stand uncovered and exposed to the weather. Sometimes. this amount of depreciation on high priced machinery will pay for constructing the building in which it should be housed.* Repairs are necessary, also, especially tn the dairy barns. Professor Weaver states that the less food required to maintain the body beat of Hay for Colts A colt from six months to a year in age should have about all the hay he will clean up, preferably a good Hover free from dust. If clover or alfalfa hay is not available, then timothy hay will be necessary. For grain, feed about 1 pound of oats to every 100 pounds of live weight of the colt. If you wish faster growth put a small allowance of linseed oilmeal with the oata. It is also advisable to allow the colt a earrot or two every day if you have them; it will keep h irn in shape. Varieties of Currants There are a great many varieties of currants on the market. Perfection Is one of the very best. However, this plant does not have the strong, upright growth that many other varieties have. It needs to be pruned rather severely. Otherwise the fruit dusters will not be as large and handsome as this variety is capable of producing. Os all the varieties of currants this one requires heavier panning than any at the rest.

This is a very pertinent question in the northwest particularly where large quantities of sprays have been applied in an effort to keep the codling moth in check. The growers seem to be faced with the options of removing the excess spray material before the fruit is marketed, to use less arsenic, or else to substitute some other spray for insect control. The following suggestions are made as a result of the preliminary work that has been under way. The removal of spray residue by wiping and brushing has not been entirely satisfactory. No form of mechanical cleansing thus far tested has proved effective under all conditions. More or less injury to the fruit and the spread of decay organisms may result. Experiments with solvents have shown, that certain acids and bases will remove spray residues in varying degrees of effectiveness. Os the many compounds tested, none has proved to be superior to hydrochloric acid. It was found to be effective in removing not only arsenicals, but also sueb forms of residue as lead, copper and lime, and has not injured the fruit when properly applied. Foundation Stock Most Important Turkey Item In deciding on the breed of turkeys one will encounter the same kind of > problem as deciding on a breed of chickens, or other live stock, except that with turkeys there are fewer breeds. «o the task should be an easier one. Whatever breed you decide upon. select birds as near standard, or even larger if possible, providing, of course, you do not 1 rget type. Length of shank and thigh, if out of proportion. should not be mistaken for size. Good length with full, rounded b«xly and breast indicates value. Size and strength of bone indicate constitutional vigor, which should be maintained through the selection of the best at all times. Oats to Fatten Lambs That oats equals corn for fattening western lambs is shown in the cooperative tests just completed by the Agricultural Experiment station at Purdue. These two popular midwest grains were fed in rations containing cottonseed meal, corn silage and clover hay. Oats not only proved its value as a substitute for corn, but replaced over 40 per cent of the roughage in the ration as well. Common opinion has indicated that oats has never equaled corn for fattening lambs. Bullnose in Pigs Bullnose occurs in young pigs up to six months old. The snout or nose is short and wide or enlarged; the breathing is labored, with a snuffling noise, when fed or exercised: later the difficult breathing occurs all the time. There may be mucus or bloody discharge from the nose, and periodic attacks of suffocation. It is said to be due to congenital defects in shortnosed swine, also to foreign bodies getting into tfie nose itod to germs such as the green pus germ.

Half of a day spent in repairing the stable will keep out the cold winds of winter and will bring a big return in milk and satisfaction. AU holes in the roof a»»d walls should be closed, drainage provided and the windows made snug and tight. This does not mean, however, that all ventilation should be closed off. plenty of fresh air without drafts blowing directly on the cow is the proper thing for producing animals. | Agricultural Items Potato blight Is a preventable disease.
