OLD TREE IN ORE MINE.

Discovery has been made in the
Holman iron mines, near Taconite,
Itasca county, Minnesota, not far
from the source of the Mississippi
river, Of the trunk and branches OF
a prehistoric pine tree in an excel
lent state Of preservation and with
pine cones about it. The tree is not
petrifed, says an exchange. The
wood is as sound in the main az
though it had been felled only few
years ago and the pine cones are
still pliable. The wood with ex-
posure to air has not softened OF
crumbled, and the find is the first OF

FINE OLD ENGLISH CASTLE
Ancient Dwelling In Reality a Forth
fed Manor-Characterl Have
Been Maintained.

Stokesay castle, which dates back
to 1919, is probably one Of the finest
of all England's old dwellings,: Al
though called castle, this ancient
dwelling is really a fortified manor,
and all of its ancient characteristics
have been maintained through the
last 500 years. -.
The great hall, which more
than SO feet long and 80 fee Kide,
is easily the most striking fe6tare OF
the old manor house. The windows
of the castle are al large, and the
hall was thus made a much more
pleasant place to live in than the
majority of houses built in England
at that time.
During the thirteenth century the
builders first began to make Eng
iish dwelling houses pleasant to live
in, instead of mere places Of shelter
or defense. Windows of the kings
houses were ordered to be glazed,
outside doors to have protecting
porches, fireplaces to be built, and
numerous other household additions
made. In some places the windows
were filled with painted glass and
the walls decorated with rare paint
ings.

Basket making in some form is an

famous artists in this work were the
Pomo Indians of California, among
whom the coiled system Of manufac-

AFTERTHOUGHTs ON ROAD RACE

Road races across Luna county have
their disadvantages as well as their
advantages, according 10 some Luna
county citizens who maintain that sew
eral thousand OF dollars damage was
done TO roads in the county. Certain
ly the rock road leading east Is not
the same smoothe boulevard IL was be-
fore. the minute particles having been
sucked from around the rocks by pneu-
matte tires. Automobiles are road
killers" at best more especially those
that go over the road at a rapid pace.
The fact that the race was run on Sun
day, together with the fatalities due TO
accident and 10 base passions aroused,
make it yeritable devils carnival for
many.
On the other hand the 9acers are the
pioneers of the motor world and con-
tribute not little TO the science in
volved. They put mechanism TO the
hardest test and others ride more safe
ly and surely because of the chances
they have taken. There can be no
excuse for racing ON Sunday, as II Is
certainly not a proper activity for the
Sabbath. As TO the Luna county roads,
it depends on whether or not we are
able TO repair the damage done and
are able TO derive compensating bene-
fits in the way of advertising or
whethes or not we feel like contribut-
ing 10 sport and science In the sum Of
damages sustained.

You don't have to read law to come

foundation of business, social life and
civilization Is the contract and respect
for agreements and obligations enter
ed into.
Yet In the New York printers and

the contract obligations Of organized
labors were deliberately violated.
Those whose urge the workers 70

that Deming is not reaping Its full
