Skeletons Of Big Men and Stone Ham.
mers and Bone Avis Uncovered
by Investigators in California.

Stanford University, California
Recent excavations indicate that the
peninsula south of San Francisco
once was inhabited by a race of giant
stature. Prof. Harold Heath of the
geologic department of Stanford uni
versity has unearthed, about two
miles south of here, several skeletons
Of men who were more than six feet
in height.
A prehistoric village, covering near
ly two acres, has been the scene Of
Professor Heath's investigations.
Stone hammers, bone avis and orna-
raents found by his party indicate that
their owners had attained consider
able advancement in craftsmanship and
civilization.
Numerous buried villages have been
discovered on the peninsula, several
within the city limits of San Francisco.
Professor Heath says the inhabitants
apparently were neither warlike nor
energetic.

PLANO, ILL.,, Sept. 25-When far

their sour and poor fields by scien-
tific fertilizing they need NO longer
fear competition from abroad, JOS
eph Wing. of Ohio, today told agri-

Congress here.
THE financing of this general soil
enrichment could be done after
some plans formulating by the
American commissioners who have
made a study of the agricultural
credit system OF Europe" he assert
ed. THE soils Of Argentine are run
of limestone and wild clover sprouts
spontaneously all over them,
while alfalfa grows there like a
weed. This gives the Argentine far
mer a great advantage over as
American competitor. However,
when we have learned to restore the
balance OF our soils as we may, we
will have no longer any terror of the
man below the equator.
THE capital required to bring
about these changes will be forth
coming, l hope in some manner as.
the result of the study Of our COM
missioners of the agricultural credit
system of European countries. In
France the farmer for soil building
work can get money on long time at
three and one-half per cent. When
clover and alfalfa overrun a million
fields that today are so poor then we
will, think, cease to import grains,
meats and potatoes from abroad and

the directors of. the West Virginia
Automobile Association in the par
lors of the Waldo hotel, was post
poned from 10 o'clock Thursday

for the afternoon meeting, owing to
the fact that It was not known just

the lack of enthusiasm dislayed by
local automobiles. those officers
present declared that this would in
no wise put a halt to their plans to
organize a branch in this city.
Immediately after luncheon those
officers present were taken for a
drive over the roads leading into the
city, and all expressed the view that
an auto club in this city would be a
great factor in securing much need

engineer, who had been rendered an
invitation to attend todays meeting,
this morning wired Mr.. George B.
chonpening, a member of the state
road commission, of this Guy, 7;lat
he would be unable to attend the
meeting and requested him to rep
resent him.
1t was stated that If local automo-
bilists did not show more interest in
the meeting here before night, that
the officers would probably remain
here until Saturday and continue
their efforts to organize a local
club. It was also stated that If they
failed i'll organizing locat club
while here that they would not give
up but would continue their efforts
towards that end.
improvement of the roads of west
Virginia is the object of the ascot
alton and all are acting unselfshly
in the matter, paying all expenses
to the meeting here today for the
purpose of stirring up enthusiasm.
All expressed themselves. as highly
pleased at the law passed at the last
session of the legislature, which will
cause prisoners to be worked on the
roads instead OF being kept in pris-
on.
Those present this morning we're:
president Elmer Hough, of Wells
