OVERLAND DEALERS
 ID HAVE XMAS PARTY

Every Willys-Overland dealer in the United States, over 5000 in all, has been invited to visit the factory in To- ledo during the month of December. Only a small part of the expense in cident to the trip will be borne by the dealers. The balance will be taken care of by the Willys-Overland com pany. The dealers will travel in spe- cial trains from all parts of the United States.
 While in Toledo they will be shown through the Overland factory, which covers 1O3 acres, or an era equal to 2S city blocks. The dealers will also be shown all of the 1917 Overland and Willys-Knight models, and will see the new models put through the various tests, which they are required to un- dergo before leaving the factory.
 Banquets will be given ;n honor of the visiting dealers, and the plans and policies of the company will be explained in detail by President John N. Willys. No expense will be spared by the company to make this Christ mas party both a pleasure and a profit to all the dealers who take the trip. All branch managers and general of ficers of the Willys-Overland of Cali fornia and Overland Pacific, Inc, of the northwest have accepted the in- vitation and are arranging to secure the acceptance of every dealer on the Pacific coast.
 It is believed that the Pacific coast will send to Toledo a larger delega- tion of Overland dealers than any other section of the country! Special entertainment of a very unique nature will be provided for the dealers both on the trip going and coming and at the factory.

tiary time, near the coast and along sluggish rivers, only a few feet above sea level, there were in that region ex- tensive palmetto swamps or brakes.
 The subtropical or warm temperate climate in which these palms and breadfruit lived in western Florida was cooler than that of the preceding period, when, in the area that now is land, shallow tropical sea swarmed with shellfsh.
 These fossil plants, which point to a former more tropical climate, were found at Alum Bluff, on Apalachicola river, a most interesting spot to the student of fossil plants because of it's almost unique flora, most of the spe- cies so far found being new; to the botanist for the living relics of former floras, and to the physiographer be- cause of the striking contrast in to- pography between the east and west banks of the river.
 A description of the clay and mari beds and of the fossil plants found in Alum Bluff is contained in a paper by Edward w. Berry entitled "The Physical Condition and Age Indicated by the Flora of the Alum Bluff For nation" which has just been published by the United States Geological Sur vey as professional paper 98-E. A copy of this report, which is largely technical, may be obtained free on ap- plication to the director of the United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. c.

FOSSIL REMAINS OF BREADFRUIT GAMPHOR
 FOUND IN FLORIDA

A change of climate is supposed to account for the shrinkage of Alaska glaciers, for the disappearance of those clever stone masons whose han diwork is found in the midst of Mexi- can jungles, and for many other things. Great changes of climate un- doubtedly have taken place in differ ent parts of the world. Impressions of fossil plants are found in the Arctic regions and fossils found in the rocks elsewhere prove that temperature and moisture in some regions have been very different in other times. The present vegetation in northwestern Florida represents temperate flora that has received additions from the tropics. A few years ago a man dig ging in a clay bank on Apalachicola river, west of Tallahassee, found fossil plants which prove that in tertiary geological times, some millions of years ago, the fora was distinctly tropical and was gradually becoming invaded by members of temperate fora as result of a change in climate. He found fossil remains of such trees as the breadfruit, camphor and satinwood and with them remains of the elm and buckthorn. By far the most abundant fossil was the palm, whole layers of which were found fossilized in sand. This discovery suggests that in ter

WILL DRAW PLANS OF
 SAN XAVIER MISSION

A set of plans of the San Xavier mission will be drawn from the com pleted building, just the reverse of the ordinary procedure, by Prentiss Dill, postgraduate student of the Univer- sity of Arizona, as part of his thesis for a masters degree the present year.
 MT. Dill secured an A. B. degree at the University of California last year, specializing in architecture. He returned to his home in Tucson this fall to take his masters degree at the Arizona university, and looked about for a subject for his thesis. He made quite a study of the California mis- sions last year, and suddenly the idea came to him to make a detailed study of the famous San Xavier mission from the standpoint of an architect. To carry out this plan he secured the permission of Bishop Granjon for the research work necessary, being given the liberty of the church and grounds for his work. So far as is known, nothing of the kind has ever been at- tempted before.
 No plans of the great church are in existence, it is believed, and it will be a part of the work to reconstruct plans from the building as it now stands.
 MT. Dill also plans to make a com plete set of water color studies of both the interior and exterior. He is an accomplished artist as well as clever draughtsman. In addition to the architectural and artistic work, he will also gather much other informa- tion about the historic building, and altogether it is expected that his work the coming year will yield results of the most important kind about Tue sons loved landmark.

Gus Holmes, ST., accompanied by Jim Murray, Montana multi-million- aire who is interested with him in the Midnight, spent a few hours here Thursday afternoon. MT. Holmes was exhibiting some specimens of silver ore from both the Keystone and the Midnight. They showed a remark able likeness, both being literally coated with ruby silver.
 This is Mir. Murray's first visit to the Midnight and he expressed him self as being highly pleased over the way the Midnight is developing. He is 76 years of age, but still takes a keen interest in mining affairs and any district that he favors with his money may be counted on as having passed the prospect class.

However, l am not in the mud-slinging
business. But you must not say too
much about Elizabeth for you will have
to reckon with me.
For myself, as l said, I don't care
what you think, but don't think it too
loud. Elizabeth, l find, had a perfect
right to suppose she was married and
l find now that am in error. l got my
idea from the Maloney case in New York
-Maloney who secretly married Osborne
and had no record made of it. The courts
held that that was not legal. However,
they used assumed names.

yours truly,
&C. F. MOHR."
The letter was admitted as an exhibit
only after a stubborn fight between Mrs
Mohr's lawyers and Atty. Gen. Rice. The
reading of it in court produced something
of a sensation, which the state could
not efface by the re-cross-examination to
which he subjected Mrs. Mohr
Widow Ends Testimony
At l0.45 o'clock Saturday Mrs. Mohr
stepped down from the stand after hav-
ing occupied it continuously during the
sessions of the court since go p. M.
Wednesday. After she had recovered
from her nervousness and confusion OF
the first few hours she steadily gained in
confidence and at the end of it was able
to parry the attorney generals thrusts
effectively.
The defence won other triumphs
during Saturday morning. Two doc
tors, John p. Morrissey and Henry B.
Moor, internes at the Rhode Island
Hospital, who were present in the &C
cident ward on the night of Aug. 81,
when Dr. Mohr unconscious and dy-
ing, and Miss Emily G. Burger, ap-
parently seriously wounded, were
brought into the hospital, gave testl-
mony in direct contradiction to state
ments made on the witness stand by
George w. Rocks, and Chief O'Neil in
the first week of the trial.
Rocks is generally credited with
having been the first one to bring Mrs.
Mohr's name into the case on the
night of the murder, and is believed
to have furnished the suggestion from
which the police built their theory OF
the crime.
When he was cross-eXamined under
