A Prehistoric Lake.

One Of the most interesting remnants
Of a prehistoric lake in the United
States is that now known as Estancia
valley, which lies south of Santa Fe
and east of Albuquerque, N. NJ. From
examination of the deposits in this Sec
ton biologists are of the opinion that
this lake existed at the same time as
Lake Bonneville, in Utah, and other
ancient lakes of the arid west during
the cold, humid glacial period. The
theory of the existence of an ancient
lake in the valley is based on the pres
ence of shore features and lake sedi-
ments Sea cliffs, terraces, beaches,
beach ridges, splits and bars are found
on all sides of the lake fat at attitudes
between 600 and 6,200 feet above
sea level.-Argonaut.

Amendment No. 9, which prepares the way for the
reforestaon of state lands unfit for agriculture, finally

the amendments to carry. Constitutional amendments

amendment must have majority of all votes cast order
to carry. Only by systematic campaign of education

amendment to vote for it, and thus pass it, The No.
amendment the only for which any consistent

BEAN PoRRIDeE OF OLD DAYS
Real Standby Of the Time When Peo'

at Present.

Bean porridge hot, bean pOrridge
cold, bean porridge in the pot nine
days old" So every child has chant
ed for year, and every generation.
Some of them have wondered what It
meant; more Of them have chanted
without wondering, intent only on the
fun Of the hand play that goes with
II.
In the old days-the pioneer days
when the men Of the family could
not drop in at q restaurant or cafe
for their lunch, but must take It with
them into the forest where they went
to clear away wood each winter day
bean porridge was q standby.
The good housewife would make up
thick bean porridge and pour 1t into
little stone pots. In the center OF
each dish Of porridge she would put
a string. Then she would stack the
little pots of porridge upon q shelf
and let them freeze. And each morn
ing when her good man went forth
for the day he would take q mess OF
porridge in the pot, often nine days
old, with him.

Treat them gently, handle

they are as babes in the woods.
Give freely of your store Of

with wisdom to spare, for as we
give in this life so shall we re-
ceive in the one to come.
Instruct them carefully in the
fine arts of the milking of the
COW, the feeding of the fowls and
the pitching of the hay, and
smile not when they ask you to
remove the thick yellow scum
from their milk.
Assure them that when the
cock crows at break of day it is
not an alarm of fire, nor yet an
earthquake. and neither is it a
signal for lights out in the bar
room.
Awake them at noon for their
morning repast, and warn them
of the bull, and the snakes, and
the business end of the goat, and
of all the snares that beset the
unwary in the field of adventure.
Grave is your responsibility.
Give it heed.

SilOs $50 and Up.

Gus Lundgren, manager of the

us he has 'em all skinned on the

sizes.
Now is the time to figure with
him. He is going to be known
as "Silo Gus" before the summer

ones, he can furnish them, too.

it will pay. If you doubt it, ask

Hitting the Pace.

Some of the progressive mer-
chants in this town are hitting
the pace, taking the high spots,
and then going some.
It needs only a glance at the
advertising columns of this paper
to tell the story.
The uniqueness and originate
ty of some of their advertisements
are attracting attention all over
this territory, and favorable COM
ments and roars of laughter are
often heard over some of their
witticisms.
Their new form of advertising
is accomplishing its purpose. 1t
is focusing the public mind upon
their stores; it is awakening the
people to the fact that there are
just as many business opportuni-
ties offered in this town as there
are to be found elsewhere; that II
is not necessary to go out of this
: town to find the best there is in
mercantile life.
This is as it should be.
We as a community should be
one people. We should consider
the interests of one another, fol
only in this way may we keep
ourselves from the rut of retrogra-
tion and stagnatiou. -.
Our business men have hit the
pace;' they are on the right road,
and it may be a long and pros
porous one.
The originality of their ads is
commanding attention. 1t is
bringing results.
