new PALO DURO
PARK POST CARDS
CFroa saturday, DailyJ

Six new post cards showing scenes
In the proposed national park IN
the Palo Dro canyon, are now be-
ing printed by the Daily Panhandle
plant iorgthe Palo Duro park com
mission About 10000 OF each card
are being printed now and the com
mission expects 10 give these cards
such a wide and immediate circula-
ton that further orders will be nee
essary. These cards will be sold by
the commission to stores and news
dealers over the Panhandle country
and willobe offered for sale to the
retail trade at reasonable rate. II
Is not inmnded by the commission to
make the cards strictly n money
making proposition but all profits
from their sale will go to the COM
mission to help in the campaign for
the federal appropriation,
Two OF the cards show exception
ally fine views OF buffalo on the
Goodnight ranch. Another, by Pho
tographer Lusby of Canyon, shows
the Palo Duro falls in winter with

ice clad cliff In white spray to the
pool In the drifted snow OF the gorge
below Another shows natural
monolith rising several hundred feet
sheer ons IAN sides In the form OF a
tower, ahotber Is taken among the
cedar trees In the Canyon below the
falls, and the other is view of a
great detached mountain Of many
layered stone surmounted at one end
by a huge dome OF stone.
The comIssion desires as wide a
use OF these cards as possible, and
since the cards present attractive
means OF showing scenes from the
canyon. II Ia likely that the people
OF the Panhandle will find use i'm
mediately for all the cards that have
been printed.

Madrid and Its Climate.

.AloEa the Mediterranean shore Spain
presents a narrow ribbon OF fertile,
delightful country. The region is often
called 1.-The garden OF SPAIN
II Is great contrast TO pass from
these tropical shores to the wind swept
plains OF interior Spain, The level
country inclosed by the Guadarrama
and the Cantabrian mountains forms
In the west an extensive wheat grow
ing region. Toward the east as the
rainfall decreases pasturage encroaches
upon arabic culture. In New CASTLE,
on the south OF the Guadarrama and in
about the center Of Spain, the political
capital has been placed. The level coun'
try in which it has been dropped, as
II by accident, is for the most part a
waterless plain, swept in winter by the
piercing winds from the naked noun
talns of the north, swelterlng in sum
mer under the effect OF the suns rays
on bare rock and soil.
The climate OF Madrid has beer
tersely described by its inhabitants as
three months of winter and nine Of
hades."

Honey Ants.

Certain Mexican ants are selected by
their kindred as storehouses of honey,
They are fed with honey until the alb
domen speedily becomes smooth and
round and so filed with honey that
the skin Is transparent These ants are
doomed to pass the remainder Of their
lives as mere honey cells, from which
their kindred extract the honey when
It is required There are several speci-
mems Of these ants in the British mu.
scum with the honey still within their
transparent bodies. The Mexicans raid
the nests Of these ants for the sake Of
the honey that their bodies contain,
and the ants are eaten raw as sweet
meats.
