The Local Draft Board is. it seems,
not going to be released from duty
just because the war is over. There
are numberless problems confronting
the release Of the men from service,
problems which may take some time.
Among these It is proposed that the
Local Board become . sort Of en-
ployment agency to see that all re-
turned soldiers are provided with jobs.
Already q questionable is being sent
out to all large employers Of labor
asking how many Returned soldiers

Chilled dry-packed poultry reaches
its destination in much better condi-

The specialists of the department re-
Gently studied shipments of chilled

poultry which had been shipped in the

in excellent condition while the wet

A number of packers, at the in

EARLY MAN FIGHTING ANIMAL
Ancestors Of Present People Were
Called Upon to Face Beasts That
Inhabited plains and Rivers.

Tho first houses were caves. Early
man was a fighting animal, and had to
contend against the huge and feroci-
GUS beasts that infested the plains and
rivers, observes a writer. His dwelling
naturally had to be a place of security
as well az = habitation. Caves were
natural and artificial, the latter being
followed out Of solid rock by rude flint
instruments. Most Of them were FORM
ed In the sides of cliffs and among
high, rugged hills.
To those early ancestors Of ours, the
primeval men and women who secured,
as ono would think, but scanty shelter
and protection from these stone caves
and holes In the rock, we apply the
generic term of cliff dwellers.
They were entirely ignorant Of agri-
culture, and subsisted by hunting and
fishing and on the natural products
they found growing In a wild state.
What Is very remarkable, at our
very doors can still be seen the typical
houses and handiwork Of those pre-his-
toric tribes In the caves of the Lancos
river In southern Colorado. These, in
most instances, are as we'll preserved
as when their ancient occupants de-
serted them-perhaps 10000 years
ago. When inhabited they were reach
ed quite frequently by notches cut In
the rock, and at other times rope lad
ders must have been used.

Gladstone was a hard worker, With
no breads with regard to work, says
the American Magazine.
He turned from political RESPONSE
bilities Of the heaviest to Greek for
recreation, and lived his four-score
years and more, just A. Pope Leo
XIII, turned to Latin poetry for his
relaxation from worldwide burdens,
and Lived on beyond four-score and

They were contemporaries of Ranke,

Of ninety-one proposed to write his
tory Of the world In IL volumes, one
volume to be completed each year,

Halfway Work.

We are, none Of US, so good archi-
tects as to be able to work habitually
beneath our strength; and yet there
Is not building that know of, late
ly raised, wherein 1t is not sufficiently
evident that neither architect nor
builder has done his best. 1t is the
especial characteristic Of modern
work. All old work nearly has been
hard work. 1t may be the hard work
Of children, of barbarians, of rustics I;
but it Is always their utmost. Let VI
have done with this kind OF work at
once; cast of every temptation to it /;
do not let us degrade ourselves volun-
tarily, and then mutter and mourn
over our shortcomings; let US confess
our poverty or our parsimony, but not
belle our human intellect. 1t Is not q
question Of doing more, but Of doing
better. Do not let VI boss our roofs
with wretchsd, half-wOrked, blunt
edged rosettes; do not let US flank our
gates with rigid limitations of medieval
statuary. Such things are more In
suits to common sense, and only unfit
us for feeling the nobility Of their pro-
totypes.-Ruskin.

been spreading at the rate Of 1OOrOOO
acres year, the result being the trans
formation Of good pasture land Into a

over grazing: flocks and herds are kept
SO long In one place as to result In the
complete destruction of the turf. Poor

Built for Giant.

Gardner, Mass, has In one Of Its
parks what Is believed to be the largest
chair In the world, made for actual
use. 1t IL 5A feet square at the base,
and IL feet in height. The seat Is six
feet from the ground, SO that those
who wish to sit in 1t have to literally
climb up into the chair, like children.
The chair weighs 1900 pounds. 1t was
presented to the city, and is an object
OF considerable attraction to strangers
