VlVUL L1wLU
In OKLA.
But II Was Several Years
Ago, Says Prof.
Gould.


Norman, May l8. chas N. Gould,
state geologist. visited Mulhall. Okla.
last week to examine the prehistoric
bones recently found there. He re-
ports that the remains are chiefly
those Of the skeleton Of an ancestral
form Of elephant The animal Is com
monty known to scientists AS elephas
primigenius, but otherwise spoken OF
as the mastedon.
the fossils were unearthed by Fl. F.
Sears on his farm some five miles
southwest Of the city. An excavation
was being made for tank when the
bones were discovered. Mr.. Sears has
dug down in places covering a space
o. about 20 feet square and has en-
countered skeleton remains in each
case. indicating the immense size Of
the bed. Those remnants so far re-
covered were In poor state OF pre-
servation and ctumbled rapidly when
exposed to the air However a fair
~ good leg bone 3 feet long was Sc
cured. also tooth the weighed over
6 pounds and measured 10 inches in
length.
In connection with the mastedon re-
mains there were also several bones
Of buffalo and a number Of horses
teeth Judging from the geological oc-
currence and condition Of the fossils,
Prof. Gould thinks that all the ami
mails we're probably mired down in 4
swamp or bog in some prehistoric
day and so perished there.
The finding of mastedon remains is
no longer a rare thing in oklahoma;
iprobably fifty or more skeletons have
been unearthed in the last few years.
Recently few bones were discovered
near Lawton aud it has been known
for some time that there was fossil
bed Of this nature near Miami.
1t IS conceded by paleontologists
that this state was once the home Of
mammoth, probably during the later
Tertiary or Pliestoceat era, which geo
logically speaking was very recent;
but as q historian counts time it must
have been fscsss 10000 to $4,000 years
ago. III appearance the animal was
not unlike the modern African ele-
lphant. only nearly twice as large and
with long curving tusks. He is known
to have ranged over North America,
Europe, Asia, and perhaps other parts
OF the world, At that time there was
land communication across what is
now Behring Straits and Aence the
mastedon was able TO roam far and
wide
SO far the best specimen Of bones
of this animal found in America have
been unearthed near St. Louis, Mo.
From this place many Of the skeletons
in the museums have been taken.
i There Is however in general a false
idea as to the value of mastedon
bones: for in reality they are only
worth whatever some collector or mu.
scum is willing to pay for them. A
perfect remains in good state Of pre-
servation will bring several hundred
dollars, but it is rarely that good
specimens are found. It was only re-
Gently that the National Museum at
Washington had an intact skeleton.
All the fossil bones Of mastedons so
far found in Oklahoma have been
lfragmentary or else so soft that re-
moval was impossible; this is true Of
those near Mulhal Mr. Gould hopes
Ito secure a good specimen for the niu-
scum at the state university and may
Eventually do so.

If were asked to sum up in few
words the advantages of owning a
home over renting one, am afraid |
could hardly confine myself to the
space allotted me for this article. But
there are a few points that perhaps

and / will try to express as briefly as
possible the reasons why, as it appears
to me. the man who saves to build or
buy home for himself is the type Of
citizen of highest value to the commu-
nifty.
For the man of average income, the
acquisition of a permanent home in
wolves struggle-and, it may be. even
sacrifice-for few years; but he who
is willing to undergo it. instead of
shrinking continually in fear. demon
strates that he has the very qualities
that make for success; and that is a
large part of the battle The man who
owns his home can keep up to a bet
ter standard of living than if rent day

come. The saving of the home-owner
gives him a permanent buying power

The yielding mattress does not rest

is fixed and hard they adapt them

Furthermore, the spine and nerve
centers of the bed sleeper are exposed
all night to the heat of the mattress,
