"Gallipoli is the last bar that locks
the Dardanelles, and secures Marmora

having been begun in modern style in
1873, when the Russians threatened to
take possession of Constantinople. The
work of Strengthening this port has
been carried on at irregular intervals

Turks, who felt that they might expect
an endeavor to turn their fianks by

''This city beautiful of the Greeks

Ottoman hordes. 1t is today anything
but a beautiful city. It's streets are
narrow, immethodical and dirty, while
most Of it's houses are overworn wood

MINERAL POINT FIELD DAY
Thursday, June II, 1915.

Probably no single local event is
looked forward to with greater antici-
patton or back upon with more satis-
faction than our annual field day.
Each year it has proven to be a
greater success as an attraction for the
people of the community, where they
can come and enjoy program OF clean
old fashioned sports, where enough
friendly rivalry prevails to make the
contests, both in baseball and racing,
we'll worth watching. 1t also offers
them an opportunity to lay aside their
work for day and renew friendships
and meet old acquaintances. 1t is not
money making scheme as no money
is paid to anyone except for legitimate
expenses and for the purses offered.
Last year the majority of the business
men of Mineral Point became members
of the Field Day association, paying a
membership fee, and also agreed to
pay this fee each year. A small ad
mission fee is charged, and the gate
receipts last year together with the
membership fees left comfortable
balance after expenses were paid which
was all spent in making the Fair
Grounds more attractive. A new fence
was built around the track and all the
fences white washed, which was very
y1o17ob nQn6pd and arprnciatQ6
Altogether the Field Day deserves
and will receive the appreciation and
patronage of the entire community, and
we anticipate that this year will prove
an even greater success than those Of
the past. A full program is published
on another page of this issue.

STORY HOUR AT PUBLIC LIBRARY

A Story hour will be held in the Rest
Room at the Public Library on Tues
day. June 8, at 3 p. m. The stories
will be told by Miss Annette Hutchison
and will be suitable for children be-
tween the ages of ten and fourteen
years.
In these progressive days the story
hour has come to occupy an important
part in a child's education. One pur-
pose is to bring before his mind some
of the very interesting things from the
best literature. Then to show that
books which contain these and other
things of equal or greater interest are
in the public library for his use. This
is one way by which child acquires a
taste for the reading which is whole
some and learns to reject that which is
not only trashy but positively harmful.
Notice of other Story hoursdwill be
given in the Democrat and at the
library.

SQUIRRELS DIG UP FOSSILS.
Little Dieger5 Reveal Ancient Indian
Graveyard.

Little Diggers Reveal Ancient Indian
Graveyard.
Santa Monica. GAIA peculiar dis
covery has been made OF fossil bed
up the coast at the mouth of Topanga
canyon. Some years ago man living
there unearthed some excellent speci-
mems of fossils and supposed Indian
bones. Recently large heap of black
dirt was noticed at the edge of the
beach, and upon investigation it proved
to be the burrow of family of squir-
relS.
The little diggers had piled up on the
surface of the sandy soil perhaps 25O
pounds of black sand, in which were
pieces of clam shells, fossils and bits
Of human bone There were even rocks
weighing close to two pounds. The
dirt was just as it had been dumped
by the animals, and bones and fossils
were mixed together with the rocks
and sand. The bones have been iden-
titled as those of human beings, sew
eral specimens showing conclusively
that they. at one time had constituted
the framework Of a stalwart Indian
brave.
Theories have been advanced by men
interested in osteology, but no definite
conclusions have been reached. They
think that the bones are those of In
dians, but that they are hundreds Of
years Old The squirrels must have
burrowed many feet, or else the beach
in the years past was nearer to the
mountains than it is at present.
That is natural, for the change is
made by the yearly washing of guam
titles of sand and rocks from the inte-
riOr down to the mouth Of the canyon.
The old burying ground is now prob
ably many feet below the surface, and
only the busy little ground squirrels
know the exact location of the rest of
the bones.

THE ADDRESS.
Mr.. Priestley delivered an excellent
address. 1t was able and patriotic, and
touched responsive chord in the
hearts of all his hearers. 1t has called
out strong words of commendation
from the mayor, veterans, members of
the corps, and citizens generally. The
following is brief quotation:
''There is lesson that comes to tfa
living from the observance of this day:
the story of victorious war in the
story of concerted action-the story of
unity.
"One hundred men acting as one
for himself, and the soldier learned early
that he was only cog in great
machine. Ever man had to do his
share and had his place in the grim
work of war and in the works of peace
each man his work to do.
"But l believe the greatest inspira-
tion of this day comes from a contem
plation of the spirit that actuated the
soldier who went to battle for an ideal.
No hope of gain or financial reward led
him on. The meanest man who
shouldered musket in 1861 could have
bettered himself financially if he had
stayed at home and worked at his trade
OF occupation.
But the men, who without any
training, fresh from the field, farm and
factory. from whom the great volunteer
generals built up those fighting ma
chimes whose achievements filled the
civilized world with wonder and ad-
miration, were men who had built up
an ideal and were willing to risk their
lives for it, and to give up home and
friends and all that life holds nearest
and dearest for something that appealed
to their hearts rather than their brains
or their pocket books.
by your deeds you have taught us
that there is something in this world
higher, richer, and nobler than material
things, and that is the lesson we need
today. Our commercial successes are
our boast and pride. We need the
splendid example of such success and
we need the ability and capacity that
upon which we may build up our ideal
nation of freemen. But there are things
higher and more to be sought for than
all material triumphs.
1--WE won the great war of the Rebel
liam, crushed human slavery and made
a united nation because you men of the
Grand Army of the Republic and others
who thought and acted like you had in
your hearts the love of an ideal and
you were ready to offer up the '1ast
full measure of devotion" if necessary
to make this the land your fathers
dreamed of.
mo matter how much we may re-
joice in our material prosperity, we
shall fail as a nation if we do not have
ideals as lofty as the soldier of 81 and
do not live up to them.
"The nobility of character, the cour-
age, the loyalty that you showed must
be shown in social, civil and business
life by those who follow you as you
showed them in the dark days of this
republic when only those qualities
saved a nation and freed race.
