Uncovered a Buried Town.

Every once in awhile excavation in
southern Arizona results in the dis
covery of a buried village. The most
recent discovery of this kind was
made by Frank c. Erwin at his home,
IA miles from Cochise.
Three miles from his ranch Erwin
started to dig All irrigation ditch.
Only few feet under the surface he
began to uncover utensils of a shape
and material which indicated that
they had been used by a race prob
ably as old as the Cibolas, that
strange people whose Seven Famous
Cities was the lure that brought
Father Mia and the negro Estevanicio
from the Spanish mission at Culiacan
north along the Sonora river to the
old city of Taeac, near Tucson,
which expedition was the beginning
of civilization in Arizona
After digging deeper Erwin came
across a wall, which he followed for 20
feet. Further investigation brought 10
light hundreds OF bones well pre-
served, one skeleton being intact
When an attempt was made to take up
the skeleton it fell to pieces Among
the treasures unearthed was a slab on
which were written curious figures
representing men and birds and ami
mails. Erwin took several of the relics
into Tombstone and will send others
to the Smithsonian institution.

WILL PLAN TOCONYERT
WORD TO CHRISTIANITY

The first National Congress of the
Laymen's Missionary Movement will
be held In the Chicago Auditorium
May 3, when plans will be discussed
for the carrying on of worldwide
movement against heathenism. Some
4,5ee representative men from every
State in the Union viii attend and
for three days the matter VIII be dis
cussed from every viewpoint.
This movement of the Protestant
churches of the world is the greatest
propaganda for Christianity that the
world has ever known. Its inspiration
and backbone are the laymen of the
churches. Its keynote is based on the
belief that If the successful business
men of this country were to apply their
time, business ability and professional
experience to a movement to evangel-
ize the world, the purpose of this mis-
sion could be accomplished. So for the
first time in history the twenHeth CEN
fury will witness the spectacle of this
great combination of power with the
added strength of the allied churches
arrsying itself against the heather
world.
The figures that deal with this pro-
posed movement are something that
even the lay mind will stop bit to
ponder To begin with, the Laymen's
Missionary Movement proposes to
evangelize the world within this gen

Cleveland's police stations turned

Police Kohler of that city has been
working for long enough to provide

months he says that not less than So,

made 1926 arrests. In The same part
of 1908 they arrested 2.679; in the first
quarter of last year 1905, and so far
this year. 1888. Kohler says they have
made the police stations mot places
where punishment hardens the heart
of apparent violators. making it easy
for them to become second offenders.

termed moral hospitals, where advice,

Powers was charged with completely

WESTERN CANADA AS A GRAIN

Never Saw such Fine wheat Any

Gust Anderson, OF Maidstone, Sas-
katehewan, was formerly of Minnesota,
and has been in Central Canada three
years. On January Is. 1910. he writes:

We have plenty of rain between May
and August and after August seldom

what can be done. and there is really
but small limit TO the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on Can
adian iSuds And the grain that he
raises is good A press dispatch says
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the Febru-
airy inspections there were 2,S47 of
high grade stuff, a percentage of S4.2S
For January the percentage was S2.21,
and for the six months it was $50
This is an unusually high average. and
ii demonstrates beyond the shadow of
a doubt that the farmers IN this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow first class wheat The crop of
1908 was considered good enough, and
its average of contract wheat was only
20 per cent Good weather through
out the season was an important fac
tor, of course, in insuring the high
quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable a character will be en-
csuntered for long time to come. The
best that can be expected is that fair
Average for a term of years viii be
maintained.

that the high prices of food could pri-
marily be traced to the fact that Amer
leans no longer remained on the farms.
He said in part:
The great trouble about the world
to-day is too many men do not want
to work. They are afraid of the cal
lous hand and the rough clothes of the
laborer. They want to be gentlemen.
To be gentlemen, they think, they
must do differently from what their
fathers did The result: The men
who gave to this country the sterling
worth which it has are gradually pass
ing away.
DO You know why this cry of high
prices for food has come? / will tell
you. 1t is true that the trusts might
for a time hold the prices up, but only
for a little while at the most The
reason we have high prices for food
is because the strong American pa
triots, who were once the great food
producers of this country, have left
the farm. Those farms are now being
taken by the ignorant foreign emf
grants, who hardly know the differ
ence between the right hand and the
left. What is to be the outcome? I'm
less the American people send their
best blood back to the farm this ooun-
try is doomed.
Go almost anywhere you VIII, and
You can find that what l say is true.
There are thousands of farms in this
country which can be bought for the
price of the buildings on their land.
Why? Because the men who have
to run them If the American boy is
willing to make the same preparation
in the great agricultural schools to fit
himself for his life's work upon the
farm, as he would study to fit him
self for the law or medicine, not only
tial livelihood, but more than that
he would be one of the great producers
of whom our country is so much in
need
James Hill has just sounded forth
this warming: Back to the land" is
the cry of all thinking men. Yet the
men and the women will swarm into
these large cities, where they are not
needed, and leave the farms of this
country empty of those men who made
this nation what it is.

WHO OWNS TIP
Disputed Jurisdiction Over q Per-

Disputed Jurisdiction Over q Per-
ton of Ell Paso, Tex
Whether river changes its course
in night or was years doing it, is
a disputed point between two nations
If the change was within a night the
United States will lose to Mexico a
portion of the city of Ell Paso. Tex;
if the change was gradual. all of FL
Paso remains property OF United
States.
The strongest point in the argu-
ment of the United States is that Mex
leo never disputed the control of the
United States to the territory until a
private individual. a resident OF Los
Angeles, Cal.-W. J. Warden-came
forward and laid claims to the dis
pnte territory under an old Spanish
grant A federal judeg has rule that
the territory belongs to the United
States, in the matter of titles, but his
ruling, unfortunately for Ell Paso, is
of no international consequence.
The state department of the United
States is now fighting the contest for
Ell Paso against the state department
of Mexico, and determination in the
matter may be expected during the
summer Just how the river got TO
it's present location,is the question at
issue. If it was gradual-accretion
they call it--theu the property belongs
to FL Paso. even in the official eyes
of Mexico, but if the change was by
evolution-if the river merely left its
old banks and ran around in a new
course-the disputed territory belongs
to Mexico in the official eyes of both
countries, and this in accordance with
the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo en-
tered into between both countries in
1852. Until seven years ago the jur-
isdiction of the United States over the
disputed territory was never ques-
toned
