skull and other bones Of . human
body, believed to be parts Of the skel-
eton Of an Indian. were exhumed by
II. M. Stroud. Nick Flagler and others
at Spiritwood lake.
Tho bones were found In a grass
covered mound about s feet wide and
10 or 10 feet long. That the small
hill wa an Indian mound and might
contain skeletons, or other Indian
relics, had long been the belief of
Messrs Stroud and Flagler who have
cottages at that place. Their sus-
pioion led to an Investigation when
the bones were unsarthsd. The skull

the smaller bones were pretty much
decayed which would indicate that
the interment was made long before
the coming of the white man to this
locality. It IL thought probable that
other bones o. relics will be discover
ed in the Same mound upon further
search.

Focd Drying a National Need.

Dying vegetables and fruits for
winter use Is one of the vital nat
ional needs In war times.
As national need 1t becomes a
patriotic duty; as patriotic duty
1t should be done in every family.
! Failure to prepare vegetables and
fruits for wlnter use Is one of the
worst examples of American ex-
travagRpce.
During the summer nature pro-
vides an over abundance. This
year, with the planting of 1000,
600 home yard gardens, stimulat-
ed by a National Emergency Food
Garden Commission, thus abund-
ance will be especially large. The
excess supply Is not meant to go
to waste.
The over abundance of the sum-
fner should be made the normal
supply of the winter. The indi-
Vidual family should conduct dry
Ing on a liberal scale. In no other
