Reeonstructs lss History.
The old theories OF studying the
former confguration Of the earth's
surface by Investigation OF fossil re-
mains Is to be thrown overheard. AT
one Of the most important meetings
OF the Geological Congress, In the
first address ever given on the subject,
Or. R. F. scharff Of the Dublin Mu-
scum, Ireland, set forth the claims OF
Zoogeography, or the evolution OF con-
tinents as illustrated by the distribu-
ton Of existing animals.
DR.. Scharff said;
Il believe that the oldest and most
permanent forms Of the earth's sur
face can be ascertained by a study Of
the distribution of present forms OF
animal life. BY this means we may
reconstruct the former globe and ar
rive at very certain idea Of what
must have been.
take, for instance, the continent
OF North America Animal forms
found east Of the Rocky mountains
are comparatively unknown on the
western slopes until modern times.
But almost identical form are found
in Europe Austria particularly. This
led to the belief that at some time or
other the continent had been con-
nected with Europe by a strip OF land,
and that the part Of North America
now west OF the Rockies had either
been submerged and Is comparatively
new land, or else that II had been sep
arated from the eastern part by a
body OF water. Probably western
North America did not exist in re
mote times.
IT is also known by the same
means that South and North America
were not joined together until the mid
die OF the tertiary period, many thou
sands OF years ago, but geologicaliy
speaking very recently. We are sure
ment that there we're other land
masses to the east and west, and re-
cent investigations have shown that
brazil and Africa were connected by
land long before North and South
America were Joined, and the con-
Meeting ridge still exists FAR beneath
the sea.
This fact Is demonstrated By spider
and crab forms which are analogous
m south American and Africa, but
which do not exist IN North America.
Indeed It seems that In remote times
southwest Africa was not Joined 70
the rest Of the continent, but was part
Of land strip which connected Aus
tralia Madagascar and South Amer.

A High Glass Attraction.

The Little Prospector,' in
which "Chic' Perkins will be
seen at the opera house on July
18th, is a new western play OF
hunOr and pathos and keeps
the audience alternating in
lighter and tears. The charm
ing comediene, "Chic' Perk-
ms, is simple and effective and
displays strong emotional char
acter easily and without studied
effort. She knows how to be
humorous and at the same time
pathetic. The play is pure as
the mountain air and enjoyable
throughout it's every moment.
1t is a delightful idyl of mining
life in the gold fields of Colo-
RADIO, intelligently interpreted
and greatly enhanced by Law
ish display of costly scenery
and paraphernalia. Here will
be a performance to which your
family may be- taken for fun
without vulgarity. BY all
means attemd the performance
of The Little Prospector."

Cook-LarSon.

Our good friend Peter E.
Cook of Landa came to town
early in the week, wearing a
broad smile. BY Wednesday p.
m. the secret leaked out at the
Presbyterian manse, for at 1: 80,
with the assistance of an inter-
prefer, the Rev. J. p. Davis
said the words that made man
and wife of our friend, Mr..
Cook and Miss Maggie Larson.
who a few days ago arrived
from Denmark to join her life
and prospects with his. This
goes to show that one more of
the bachelors of the Landa
neighborhood knows a good
thing when he sees it, and has
set a fine example for other
benedicts out that way! Here s
hoping Mr.. and Mrs. Cook may
long live and prosper.

ELECTION AT RUSSELL.
Voted Bonds to Build New S7OOO.OO
School House.

On Saturday, June Goth an
election was held in Russell to
determine whether AbercrOm-
bic school district should issue
$1,000 bonds to build a school
house in that town. 1t was an
ideal day for an election and a
large vote was poled. Out Of
23O votes on the proposition
1928 were for issuing bonds and
81 opposed, giving a majority
of 80 in favor of the bond issue.
Those living in Russell and vi
cinity worked hard and their
efforts were not fruitless. The
town as a unit favored the
proposition and the fact that
the Russellites all worked in
harmony is responsible in no
small measure for the result.
This will give that section of
the township a substantial
school building and one in
which the community can take
a large measure of pride. 1t is
hard to tell whether the build
ing will be ready for occupancy
this fall but the work will pro-
ceed as rapidly as possible.

JOHN SIDNEY O'BRIEN..
Gave an Interesting Address on the
Fourth OF July.

Mr.. Chairman and Gentle
men:
We meet here today for the
purpose of celebrating the
glorious Fourth of July and to
do honor to our most illustrious
first president, George Wash
ington, who was instrumental
in establishing our independ-
ence by severing our connec-
ton with the British Empire.
He raised the flag of freedom
which now floats over this Am
erican nation-this flag is re-
spected by all the leading ma
tons of the world.
George Washington opened
the gates of freedom to all ma
tions, and millions of people
from these nations come to this
country and are now American
citizens.
What was the state of this
country when it was governed
by the British Empire? Its
finances were below par and it
was slowly drifting towards
poverty.
What is the condition of this
nation today? 1t has continued
to prosper from the date of our
independence, and is now the
most prosperous and richest ma
ton in the world.
We point with pride to our
first president, George Wash
ington, our great liberator; we
are proud of President Roose-
welt, the peacemaker of the
world. ... ..,.
We are proud of our power
full army and navy, and we are
proud that this vast American
nation stands pre-eminent to-
day as one of the first-class
powers of the world.
l will now retire as there are
other speakers to follow, and l
thank you Mr.. Chairman for
the hearing you have given me.

Surrender

The raindrops were falling the day drear,
With nothing to brighten and nothing cheer
felt like wanderer lost in the night
Who looks all directions in vain for a light.
Rejoicing as he when glinner he
saw you approaching the path through the trees.
You extended your hand as closer you came
And grasped mine in welcome and whispered my name,
L gazed your and what did see,
A kingdom of love revealed unto
No words were spoken but eye and cheek,
Betrayed the secret the lips dare speak.
Then Closer still closer till soul spoke to SOUL
My vision blinded by happiness whole,
The merciful lids dropped my eyes,
And your lips found mine and made earth paradise.
All, angels might envy that deepest of bliss,
The JOY awakened by the first mutual kiss.
And while stood there with head your breast,
Oh heaven, | thought away with your rest
1t seemed that the world might be drear,
With you for refuge, JOY d always be
You said that loved held m fast
asked for no future, l thought of go past.
Though summers and winters had passed o. head,
My soul and my being till then had been dead,
There might have been there might have been
pain
But never was happiness until you
Now your pleasures mine, mine to share,
My only ambition your burdens to bear.
And when summoned to meet grimdeath,
May spirit mingle with your last breath.
And when in heavens portals stand
Saint Peter should demand the release of your hand,
I'd surrender the hope of heavenly JOY,
I'd face all the tOr1nents that hell employ,
I'd know naught of regret and naught of fear,
If you in your spirit form always
For that my soul was yours, the demons below
And the angels above should all learn know.
