To Solve Mystery
as to Mound Builders

Mexico City, Aug. S.-Archeologi-
cal investigations by govern
mystery of who built the great
pyramids at San Juan Teotihuacan
27 miles from Mexico City, have
brought to light two great granite
heads of the ancient Mexican god
of the air. Quetzalcoatl These
heads are almost perfect specimens
bearing all the symbolic markinps
The long disputed point as to who
erected the pyramids is, as yet, un-
solved. These huge mounds one
to the sun and the other to the
moon, the former being 761 by 721
feet at the base and PIG feet high
are generally attributed to n tribe
that preceded the Toltecs, probably
dating from about the sixth century.

the company had not fulfilled the
conditions relative to furnishing
water for irrigation purposes and
development work upon which the
concession was granted.
The paper also states that, ac-
cording to the secretary. the COM
pany's irrigation system has been
appropriated by the government for
the public good, after compensa-
tion had been fixed on the basis
of the cost of the development work
already done.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

In the soft glow of a summer
| evening | rode yesterday from Jeru-
| salem to Bethlehem. The diStanC ;
| is only u little more than five miles,
along the main southern highway 10
| Hebron. 1t was over this very road
| that Joseph and Mary and thelr
faithful donkey went in haste the
day before Christmas. The ancient
well by the wayside is pointed out,
with every degree of probability, as
the one at which Mary refreshc l
herself. Near Bethlehem we pass
the tomb OF Rachel. Olive and vine
clad terraced hills surround the
town. which is solidly built of the
ubiquitous limestone of the land:
the wise man builds his house on
the rock-the underlying rock OF
Palestine-and of the rock as well.
The stone is quarried soft and hard
ems upin exposure to air.
In a limestone cave, which once
was the rear room of stable of the
Bethlehem inn, or khan, there was
born nineteen centuries ago Il babc.
over that cave to-day there stands
the Oldest Christian Church in the
world, built in the reign of Con-
stantine the Great, on the site of a
still earlier construction. Since the
lbpNuIS VI ny bGICl
Allenhy-when an American officer
in his army was made first governor
of Bethlehem-certain unlovely evi-
dences of ecclesiastical strife, nota-
bly, the unsightly wall that divided
the interior, have been removed. 1t
is still necessary, though, to main
tain a military guard at the manger
to prevent sectarian strife; though
now the soldiers are British, instead
of Turks.
a silver star is let into the center
of the grotto beneath the church,
and II is inscribed, "Hic de Virgine
Maria Jesus Christus natus est"
Around it burn perpetually the
lamps of the Latin, Greek and Ar
menian churches. There is much
ecclesiastical ornamentation. One
can scarcely realize that at this holy
spot the miracle of the ages was
wrought: and that here was mani
tested the Son of God, the Saviour
of the world. Here gathered the
wondering shepherds from the
neighboring hillside. Over this town
the mysterious celestial glory shone;
focal point of the universe and of
eternity.
New Power of an Old Place
What has all this got to do with
the present lessoni Everything.
This Bethlehem manger has become
central to a newly self-consciouS

nineteen centuries ago has become,

the earlier crops have been headed
and cut for forage. Late sown kafirs
win be materially benefited in all
sections OF the state by the excel
lent rains the latter part Of August.
Broom corn harvest is under way
in the western and advancing into
the northwestern sections OF the
state and since the weather condi-
lions have been more favorable in
the principal broom corn growing
sections, there Is no deterioration of
consequence noted this month Grass;
hoppers have damaged broom corn
seriously in few scattered locali-
ties in western sections.
The rains the latter part of Aug
ust win be OF special benefit to pas
lures, forage crops, and, in those
sections where rains were heaviest,
mFfners are now actively engaged in
plowing, preparing ground for fall
seeding OF wheat. No progress of
consequence was made in fall plow-
ing during the month of August on
account OF the lack of rainfall in the
central and northwestern sections.
