ANCIENT SEED BRINGS
UP A LARGE SQUASH
Had Been Sealed Up in Room
by Cliff Dwo|Iers.

Los Notwithstanding the discov-
cry of the Aztec bean nearly fifteen
years ago, seed has been found in the
prehistoric cliff dwellings of Arizona,
along the Verde river, that has been
planted and has grown into huge
green, extremely warty squash, which
has been named the "Aztec.' The
squash was grown from seed hun
dreds-perhaps a thousand-years old
and in the Verde country is considered
a wonder Of the age.
The discovery was made by John G..
Allen of Cherry, Ariz., and in a most
novel manner Allen was fishing along
one of the tributary creeks of the
Verde and his skill with the rod seem
ingly failing him, he decided to see if
he could not make his trip a profitable
one by hunting the ruins for pottery
left by some prehistoric tribe.
Making his way into one Of the lar
ger rooms of the cliff dwellings he no.
ticed a portion of the wall Nat ap-
peared as if some time or other it had
been closed up. Further investigation
proved that he was right, for he easily
broke through the wall at this place
and discovered a small room or recess
which contained pottery, corncobs and
about a dozen seeds that resembled
ordinary squash seed. The room had
been sealed SO tightly that not even Il
mouse could make its way into it.
1t was too late to plant the seeds at
the time of their discovery last year,
so they were not planted until early
last spring. Of the twelve seeds but
one came up, and the plant from it
carried one large squash which weighs
twenty-five POUNDS.

Kowbowski, who is Of German Pol

years ago. He has worked in various
cities of the upper peninsula. but he
could not find steady employment.
When he reached Isabella his shoes
were worn out and his feet were sore.
He was also weak from hunger when
he came upon the straw stack, which
he decided to make his home. He does
not remember all the details of his
long stay in the stack. He says he re-
members going out three times to get
q drink Of water. but that he had moth
ing to eat.
He lost the power Of swallowing. and
liquid food had to be given to him by
artificial means. The power to swallow
has now returned and with it strength
to tell of his suffering.

Awarded a Fellowship.

Raymond F. Piper of Racine has
won the highest scholastic honor offer
ed by the Methodist church in Amer
ica-the Jacob Sleeper fellowship from
the Boston School of Theology. He
was graduated from the state univer-
sity, where he did much special social
center work in connection with the
university Methodist chapel and social
center, and went to Boston for his
theological studies His winning Of
the Sleeper fellowship would mean, if
he wished, that he could go to Berlin
or any other university to study, but
owing to the war he decided not to
follow in the footsteps of previous win
ners of this honor but to complete his
work at Harvard.

the next night, and perhaps they would
attract Others
On the second morning John again

rat, but he, as John described him, was
as large as a tomcat! The two caught
on the previous night were of ordinary

was a mystery. "What became Of the
