RAT 2,998,O84 YEARS OLD
Scientists Uncarth Skeleton of Rodent
in Colorado and Present 1t to New
York Museum.

New York, Nov 1.-THE American
Museum of Natural History has added
to Its collections the skeleton of the
p'llotherium, an animal about the size
or a black bear and described as re-
sembl1ng a, rodent, which was in it's
heyday between the years 2,99S,OS4

Ihe skeleton is the only complete
one Of Its kind in captivity 1t was
found in Colorado by an expedition of
scientists, headed by Walter Granger
associat e curator of the department of
vertebrate palaeontology The find is
the result of twenty years hunt by the
museums scientists, who have never
lost confidence in the belief that such
skeleton existed. Fragmentarv
pieces Of the pillotherium had claws
not unlike bears.

specimens of the pliohippus, pro-
nounced to be a missing link between
the three toed horse and the modern

have cut some figure in prehistoric

DUST IS A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Cases Windows Have to Be
Kept Closed Tisht-Use Split
Log Drag After Rains.

by ". {. PALMER, agricultural Eater.
North Dakota Agricultural College,
When dry weather comes the dust
from the road becomes great null
sance TO the housewife who lives near
the road. In many cases windows
have TO be kept closed tight TO lessen
the amount of dust that seeps in. The
most effective way Of reducing the
dust nuisance is the use of a split-Iog
drag on the road after every rain.
The road dust comes largely from the
grinding up of the turned-up edges OF
ruts made by wheels and horses hoOfs.
These cannot form unless water can
stand on the rOadbed and water can
not stand on the rOadbed If il Is kept
well crowned and well packed as il
viii be If the road drag Is used regu-
larry. Dragging the roads will mean
a good deal 10 the housewife, as well
as TO travellers and those who have to
haul to and from the market.

Uncertainty as TO whether the war
department intends holding the Ken
lucky troops until the units are re-
cruited to full strength, persists. Brig.
Gen. Roger Williams says that Wash
ington has given no intimation of its
intention on this score or onany other
matter relating to the departure of the
Kentucky troops for the border The
best opinion in camp, however, main
tains that departure will not be delay
ed by this feature, but that the brig
Ade will probably move as soon as il
Is ready. This is taken to contem-
hlate a period of waiting consequent
upon the smallpox development.

GOOD ROADS WORK WONDERS
Improved Highways Give Farmer
Chance to Reach Markets-5ad
Roads Decrease Efficiency.

The railways and iDterurbans have
and are having much to DO with the
development of this state. The evil
dence of their splendid work is seen
on every hand. They have contributed
to the building Of towns, the develop
ment of rural communities and have
made il possible for great Industrial
ventures to succeed. But they. while
working wonders for the common
wealth. cannot reach every household
as the highways do. The highway
reaches the isolated man, which the
railway but incidentally touches. and
Ii means TO this man or the community
in which he lives whether the highway
is of such a nature as to enable him
TO carry on his relations at the least
expense and comfort. II the roads are
bad he is hampered and loses much,
not only from the value of his pred
ucts which must be hauled to market,
but he pays tribute In the wear and
tear Of his harness, vehicles and In
jury TO animals. His inability to reach
churches and schools easily reduces
his ability to make the most useful
citizen.
II he has good roads he reverses
this and stands out with greater pos
sibilities along all lines of endeavOr
in which he engages. - Greenville

up dresses. the skirts OF these dresses
are very fiaring and frilly.

are only about three or four inches
