FOR SAM WALTER FOSS DAY
Attractive Program Outlined for the
Oranges of Michigan by Miss
Jennie Buell..

The lecturer of the Michigan State
Grange, Miss Jennie Buell. of Ann AR
Dor, has outlined an attractive pro
gram for Sam Walter Foss day.
which is being extensively taken w
and used by Oranges in that state
Suggested outlines are given on Mr.
Foss' life and experiences, while Sc
lections from his poems are given to
show the nature of the man. 1t is
also suggested that in connection with
such an evening the poem, THE
House by the Side of the Road" which
was Mr.. Foss own favorite, be read
entire; while Grange lecturers do well
to have this used for a recitation on
some Grange evening. even If a full
program in honor of the poet is not
attempted.
Among other Sam Walter Foss
poems named for use in program
such as outlined are these: Land on
Your Feet" "Hullo," The Volunteer
Organist" and rs Little Bob Tucked
In?" In concluding her outline for
such a Grange evening Miss Buell.
says: when the common people
heard that Sam Walter Foss had
passed from this life, sense of per.
sonal loss stole over us. Some Grange
will surely like to devote program,
or part OF a program, to his life and
his simple. heart-reaching poems OF
the home and field. No finer enter
tainment, more uplifting or enjoyable,
can be produced than An Evening
With Sam Walter Foss,' by using his
poems and discussing them"

opment. At the very beginning of our study
of Copan we find ourselves confronted with a
grave difficulty, namely. the entire absence Of
aboriginal tradition concerning the place,
which consequently renders a reconstruction
OF the historical background impossible. In
Yucatan We were able to piece together some
what Of the early history Of the principal Cities
such as Chichen TIA, and UXmal, from the ac-
count Of native as well as Spanish writer's,
many of whom derived their information from
those we'll acquainted with the former history
OF the country And while this information is
often quite fragmentary, nevertheless 1t sheds
very considerable light on the pref columbian
history of these two northern sites, and In
measure, at least, dspels that darkness and
obscurity which SO completely enshrouds al
most all the other great centers Of the Maya
culture.
Concerning the former history Of Copen,
however, we know absolutely nothing, except
ing the tradition of very doubtful value given
below. In 1867, or thereabout, Diego Garcia
de Palacio, an official of the Audencia Of Qua
temala, visited these ruins and later described
them in a letter to Philip H.. the then king of
Spain. In this communication, after a de-
scription Of the different buildings, he says he
endeavored to ascertain who the former In
habtants Of the city were
81 endeavored with all possible care to as
certain from the Indians, through the tradi-
lions derived from the ancients, what people
lived here. OF what they knew or had heard
from their ancestors concerning them. But
they had no books relating to their antiquities,
nor do I believe that in all this district there
is more than one, which I possess They say
that In ancient times there came from Yucca
tan a great lord, who built these ediflces, but
that at the end of some years he returned to
his native country. leaving them entirely de-
serted"
Unfortunately, the reliability Of this tradi-
ton Is disproved by too many different lines
of evidence to permit our accepting 1t. In the
first place, the structures Of Copan are far too
numerous and massive to have been built
within the span of a single life; and its elab
orately sculptured monuments are far too In
tricate to have been carved In one generation
with the tools available. Had that Great lord
from Yucatan" lived twice the allotted three
score years and ten, his life, even then. could

One Woman's Work for the Grange

One Woman's Work for the Grange.
What one New Hampshire woman
has done for the Grange is brought out
in the record of Mrs. Susie A. Me-
Clure of MunsonviIle. During the past
twelve months she attended sixty-five
Grange meetings and travelled 1927
miles to do it; she accompanied her
husband, who is a state deputy, on
fifteen of his Grange inspections and
as lecturer of her own Pomona Grange
she was present at every session dur
ing the year. doing 1t involving thirty
three days of ten hours each and trav-
cling 500 miles by team and III miles
by train. It is further said that New
Hampshire is full of such women, who
