Miss Nora Sheets, a charming
young lady of St. Marys. The
item was written in good faith by
the Oil Review representative, but
the party who gave the informa-

of perpetrating an intentional

"Fossil Rain Drops. y

In slabs of Triassic rock little de-
pressions are often seen which have
been called fossil rain-drops," the
idea being that they were formed by
showers on muddy sea beaches, and
preserved by being covered with lay
er of mud at the next high tide But a
correspondent OF Nature. in England,
suggests in view of recent observations
of his on flood plain in the Dorm val
ley, that the supposed impressions OF
rain-drops may really be due to pit
tings formed by bubbles in a film Of
mud at the bottom of shallow water
He has watched the formation of many
such Dittings, and found that after the
mud has dried they exactly resemble
fossil rain-drops."

CHICAGO. July 15-The PROPOSAL
made by Michael J. Donnelly for the
strikers, in connection with arbitration
conference, contains the following de
mands:
THAT all employees VINO s.:uCi. shall
be employed in their old positions
within three days; that the packers
pay the wages prevailing prior TO the
strike, pending arbitration; that tho
arbitra ton board be composed of one
representative of the packers, another
OF the strikers, the two to select a
third, the three arbitrator to be prac-
teal packing house men, that the
award in wages to be made by the ar
bitrators shall take effect from the
time of the resumption Of work, but
that the award shall not involve any
reduction in wages"
The representatives of the packers
replied to Mr.. Donnelly as follows;
"In reply TO your note and your eX-
PLANTATION of what you are willing TO
arbitrate we cannot accept the same.
We are willing to arbitrate the whole
matter, covering wages and working
conditions of all employees out on

Settlement of the strike was not
reached AT the conference of the pack
ers and employees. but there is still
hope that arbitration will prevail.
After session lasting from 10
O'Clock in the morning until $ o'clock
last night the conferees adjourned, the
net result being that the situation is
just as it was before.
Ii is announced THAT unless the strike
is settled today the cattle handlers at
the yards here will walk out. This
move would make the tic-up complete.
These men are clussed as unskilled h-
| borers but they are highly essential
to the operation of the yards. II they
strike the packers will be confronted
with the problem of feeding the live
stock still in the yards.

Rustenburg, South Africa, Oct. 10
1928. and was therefore nearly seven
ty-nine years old at his death His ia
ther was a typical Boer farmer OF
what was known as the "Dopper," or
ultra conservative, class, and but little
has even been published of the early
life Of the son. What education he
possessed he obtained in the elemen-
tary schools Of South Africa, and at no
time did he care to add to his learning
by reading.
From early youth Kruger was
fighter He saw some Of the bloodiest
fighting that South Africa has ever
known while still boy, including bat
ties between the Beers and the Malta
belle tribes under Maselikatse, father
of the late Lobengula, as a result of
which the natives were driven across
young Kruger won a reputation for
bravery and long Medicines. While
still in his teens he became n crack
shot, and his running powers were the
wonder of his companions
In 1882 he wae elected to the presi-
dency of the Boer republic and was
twice reelected. He administered af-
fairs witt power almost absolute
and mainly with Keen judgment and
foresight Up 10 the time OF the last
Boer war he held record Of never
having committed a serious admins
trative blunder 1t has always been an
open question whether HIS rule resulted
in good to the people or whether it es-
tablished in the Beers the desire TO
hold all foreign settlers in subsection.
The young men Of the republic looked
upon him as their leader for life, and
even the uitlanders who disliked him,
had 10 admire his character. He has
been called at various times "a saint"
N hypOcrite," "Tn unSelfSh states
man. "a tricky politician "a pure pa
triot," IAN INSCRIPTIONS demagogue,'
"a devout Christian" IAN old hum
bug" "a Godly man" and "a tainted
bribe taker"

the Democrats as with the Republicans
