Durango, Colo.-A renewed activity
in the explorations Of the Aztec ruins
located In the vicinity Of Aztec, N. n.
by the residents Of Aztec and Durango
has resulted over the discovery Of
either a stone idol or mummy Of the
extinct Aztec race by George CARING
house Of this city, who has brought to
light a relic Of prehistoric ages and
aroused the curiosity Of antiQuarianS
and archaeologists Of this section.
The discovery was made By Mr..
Clearinghouse in an arroyo 30 miles
southwest Of Aztec and had been
partly uncovered BY the recsnt rains.
It either had been buried 30 feet nm
dereround or else the ground had bean
washed over 1t to that depth. The

TO keep the old hens that are relative
ly Improbable for egg production and
deprive himself Of the valuable serv-
ices Of the young and productive lay
ers.
Many chicken raisers have begun
to appreciate this fact, and have
sought a solution of the problem
through the adoption of several meth
DDS, the most common being to mark
the birds with leg bands of aluminium
or composition metal. fastened around
the leg in various ways.
This system, though satisfactory
enough. demands more labor than
most farmers care to give. A more
practical method is to punch the web
of the chicks feet when 1t is newly
Matched. The operation is simple,
and quickly performed.

LADY'S FOOT LARGER

American convention was correct. the
latter remarking: My experience Is
that the English women's feet are
bigger than the feet of American wo-
men. We do not stock anything less
than AS, because they are not wanted
now. Indeed. young women Of eigh-
teen TO twenty-five years take sizes Of
8 and Z, whereas their mothers wore
as small as 3 and 8. But 1t does not
follow that because the girl Of today
is taller and bigger than her ancestors
and her feet are larger and developed
by the amount OF outdoor exercise in
which she INDUCES, that they are less
beautiful On the contrary, the feet OF
the present-day girl are more symmet-
rical than they used to be. We have a
