RUBBISH PILE STARTS
FIRE IN A HAY STACK
Twenty Tons Of Fine Hay Burned on
Anthony Ranch Near Richland
Home Saved

A fire originating in sparks blowing
from pile Of burning refuse and
lighting in a stack of hay caused q
great deal Of damage at the II. E.
Anthony ranch south Of town on Tues
day afternoon.
All members Of the family were
away from home at the time the
blaze burst forth in the hay, and fol
that reason the fire made such head
way that the entire four stacks were
completely destroyed, containing about
twenty tons Of fine hay. The barn In
which Mr.. Anthony housed all his
dairy cattle was also burned to the
ground and It was only by the siren
uous efforts Of Richland men who
hurried to the scene in automobiles
that the family home was saved. The
hay and barn were an entire loss
no insurance being carried on either.
In addition to this q great deal Of
fluming was burned and so badly in
jured that It will be useless for fur
Their irrigating.

Today, in Mexico many of the quaint customs
then in vogue still kept alive. And so 1T IS
that the purchaser of today may select his choice
of fowl in the village street. Or, if he prefers,
the vender will bring it alive to his door for IN
spection, fresh from the farm
North of the Rio Grande the turkey was equally
well known and treasured. The celebrated expe-
dtion of Coronado between 1927 and 1547 pene-
trated this unexplored region west of the M1ss1s-
sippi. His explorations chiefly in what is
today Texas Arizona and New Mexico, the home
of the cliff-dwelling Indians of the Southwest In
all the Indian villages, according to those early
explorers, turkeys were to be found both wild
and domesticated.
From America the turkey has spread to be
world favorite. But the fact that today the tur-
key is considered delicacy in so many lands is
due to human agencies, and not to the turkey
itself Slow of movement and deliberate both
in beginning flight and in the choice of its alight
ing the turkey unaided would never have become
known outside it's native habitat
Cortes, in of his famous letters written
about 1913, mentions the turkey. He carried
specimens of the bird to Spain in 1920 where
they came into immediate popularity, and the
breeding of turkeys soon became established. 1t
was then that the turkey became known
"pavos," on account of his relationship to the
peacock which was then called ''pavo reaI'-the
fowl of kings.

It's introduction into England seems to have
been in 1924 But whenever it was, it soon came
into popular favor and given such local
names as Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge

In the early colonial days turkeys were still

matter of speculation among the scientists of the
National museum where the specimen is on exhi-
bition
Another interesting fact in this same connec-
ton resulted from scientific expedition which
DR.. c. Hart Merriam made among the mountains
of Arizona; he came across a living species of
bird identical with the one found mummifed
and which is now known to the scientific world
by his name.
Another recent discovery in connection with
the turkey Maya hieroglyphic This piece
of parchment shows grocer's account in which
are mentioned, with other things, ten turkey hens
and five turkey cocks. This is thought to be the
first record of the turkey in this country and
antedates the expedition of Cortes to Mexico in
1919.
But the turkey goes back farther among the
Indians than the probable date at which
the specimen found in the cave existed. Among
the Zunis, for instance, there exist many legends,
handed down from time immemorial, which have
for their subject the turkey.
The turkey plays more important part in the
life of the Indian than in his legends alone. Not
only is it regarded as choice article of food,
but in many tribes it is held sacred In the parts
of the country where the turkey was worshiped
with that curious devotion to animals which
characterizes different stages in the development
from savagery to civilization-it never eaten
except when other food was unobtainable. And
even then separate portions divided among

Turkey feathers rank next in Importance to
those of the eagle with all tribes, while the
Apaches the Pamunkeys and Cheyennes chose
the turkeys feathers for all ceremonial head
dresses and ornaments The Pamunkey tribe
also used turkey feathers for ornamental pur-
poses on their clothing as well as for their head
gear. To this day, when they don their native
costumes the turkey feather is preferred orna-
ment.
If Benjamin Franklin's words had been needed
the turkey would have been the national bird of
the United States. The eagle is first cousin to
the species Known of old in the eastern hemis-
phere. Furthermore, it has appeared upon the
banners of many nations. 1t was symbol of the
Roman empire. 1t was known in China for ages,
and today it appears upon the banners of Russia,
Germany and several other nations
The turkey, however. is indigenous to America
When the early European adventures and set
tiers arrived they beheld great focks of turkeys,
and it soon became known that they were
favorite food among the Indians. After a while
turkeys were proudly sent home as trophies of
the chase In this way the turkey became prac-
tically world-favorite food.
When Cortes, in 1919, assembled to the plateau
of Mexico, he found social life developed to a
high degree of refinement. He entertained
with oriental magnifcence. All the delicacies
to be found within the empire set before
him; and though game abundant, the turkey
held the place of honor among the fowl. This
was the first time that the Spaniards had eaten
turkey and the experience proved most salts

birds In fact, since prehistoric times the turkey

Fortunate Escape.

BY Alta Briggs. Aged II Years, Hender-
son, Ia. Blue Side.
While l was spending my vacation with
my sister and her family we all went to
a little lake for a days outing. We went
in an automobile and several oil the
neighbors went, too. 1t was about thirty
miles and the roads were very dusty.
There were automobiles ahead and be
Lind us, so you may know we were white
with dust. So when we arrived there, we
got water from the lake and washed our
hands and faces. We did feel better.
After that we went TO see them dive in
the lake and go down the toboggan
slide. After dinner we went to see the
cliff that rises one hundred feet above
the lake. There was a riokety stairway
leading to the top. We stayed up there
a long while. looking over the country,
and were coming down when my sister
caught her dress on a nail and fell, but
her dress held her or she would have
fallen one hundred feet straight down.
Some men heard her scream. and one
held her up while the other unfastened
her dress. That nail was all that saved
her life. We certainly got down as quick
as We could and were glad to get home
safe.

Upon leaving the train we heard great
noises, such as street cars. autos, etc.
everything it seemed that could make a
noise was trying its hardest to do so.
We were met at the station with a truck
and were then taken TO a harbor where
there were many ships. We were then
put on a ship and started on a journey
across the big ocean.
At the end of seven days we arrived at
very strange country-nothing like our
dear United States. We were taken by
some women who were called Red Cross
nurses. We crossed large battlefield.
We were then taken to where there was
a long line of anxious children, waiting
and wondering what this good ship was
bringing to them.

very quaint little frock which someone
said was little Belgian child. She waS
