Ordinarily. for Gunsdorf had am intellI-

Mystery of the Eskimos !:

There is a deep mystery enveloping the
Esktmos. They may be called the people
of the North Pole, for they dwell far
Their north than any other race and par
tally surround the Arctic end Of the
earth's axis.
According to the Encyclopedias Ameri-
cana, the total number of Eskinos in ex-
istence does not exceed 4oOO0 and these
are scattered all across the northern end
OF America. tho Arctic islands, Green
land, and a part of the coast OF Siberia.
How did the come to be where they
are: Did their race spring into existence
in the far north. independent, from the
beginning. of the other races of man
kind; or are they the descendants OF
some ancient, forgotten people, driven
toward the north by a stronger race. or
by climatic changes, in prehistoric times {?

ing theory concerning the origin of the
Esl1imos IL that of Prof. Boyd Dawkius.

Survivors of the prehistordo "cave men"

That Albany would again be easy meat
for the local five was a 1O0-to-1 shot,
as Americas completely outclassed AL
bany on their visit here winning 40
to 10.
On investigation it was found that
the team had decided to postpone the
game for several reasons, but the chief
one was "a show was in town" Wheth-
er or not it was a tent show or fea-
ture film at the movie, we failed to
learn, but this we did discover: AL
bany did not have her basketball team
there to play Americas.
That it might have been a good idea
to have notified Americas of the can

have occurred to the Albany manager.
The news was first learned after the
Americas team arrived there, and was
impaired to Coach Colby by the negro
janitor of the gymnasium.

Or plant it on the prairies lone and

What dream of this blue vale to you
is dearest
When homeward turn your thoughts
at eventide?
Perhaps you think of her in sweet
spring weather
Clasped by her happy fields of ten
der grain;
Through a green mist you see the free
lined river
And hear the robins singing in the
rain.
Or w may picture her in still October,
Some calm, gray afternoon when life
is peace;
When, one by one, the wagons home
ward thunder,
And up the hill drift snow-white
flocks of geese.
When the evening folds the landscape
in her bosom,
And calls the happy children from
their play;
When little rains come whispering and
healing,
And wash the stains and sins of
earth away.
But there's a dream of her that would
