The Little Fleet of Columbus
Was But Three Small Vessels

the Pnta and Nina and larger ship with deck on
which Columbus lived the Santa Maria. On board
this fleet ninety mariners, together with thirty
private adventurers ALL one hundred and
twenty persons
On Friday early in the morning, the squadron
set sail from Palos. On losing sight of land their
hearts failed them and at time the mutinOus
spirit among them made serious trouble
Notwithstanding their doubts, discouragements and
fears Columbus undauned and various kept
iongookedor land "a doubet Of velvet and pension of
thirty crowns which he authorized by Ferdinand and
Isabella to do"
and at two in the morning of the twelfth gun fired
from the Pnta at the moment of the sailors deserted the
revealed October the twelfth by the sight of
stretch of land
Columbus, i'm a rich dress and with drawn
sword, went off in little shallOp to land, knelt and
kissed the ground with tears of joy" and took
possession of the island in the name of Queen
Isabella.
Gathered about Columbus and his staff were group of
dusky cOppecolored Indians partly naked beardless with
long black hair floating their shoulders or bound up in
tresses around their heads
1t is supposed that there were more Indians when
Columbus came than there in this country The pity
of it that should have their land and lose sight of
DUTY to not only care for them but to watch oyer their
our own children.
If there only others like William Penn, the
they called Father" to befrend these first native
American Indians!
On the 2sth of October the three little ships in
sight of Cuba and the Island of Hspanioa known
San Domingo
Soon after the Santa Maria wrecked by the
unfahfuness of the steersman by fatigue who
turned the helm to boy while he slept.
On the Pinta, Columbus proceeded upon his home
and wrote parchment account of his and
discovery and sealed and directed to the King and Queen
wrapped waXed cloth, and placed the document in the
center of cake of wax nclosng it in large barrel which
thrown into the that the discovery of the newly
found lands might be preserved in of shipwreck
The little bark of Columbus however, destined to
oude storms of the and he entered the harbor of
Paios from which he had sailed and the whole community
celebrated the "of his enterprise by a grand
procession and public thanksgiving to God"
The honors paid to Columbus by the people of
PaOs the harbingers of still higher honOrs
which awaited him at the Court of Spain.
The real grandeur of his discovery is yet
to be fully revealed.
Columbus died on the 10th of May, 1906. His last
words were: "In tuas, Domino, conn,end0

Ever since the Indians passed the
information along to our old Puritan
fathers and their equally puritanical
wive we, in America, have acknowl-
edged that corn is wonderfully nu-
tritious and sustaining food.
1t is only within recent years, how
ever, that we have come to realize
that the oil in the germ of the corn,
hitherto regarded as a by-product, Is
one of the most valuable of all the
ingredients of the corn.
For recent experiments have prov
ed that corn oil, pound for pound, is
one of the most readily converted
and assimilated of all fats, and that
it has very high nutritive qualities
by reason of this fact.
Corn oil is true "made-in-Amerl-
ca" product, inasmuch as its use has
been confined largely to America
although It is quite conceivable that
before many years, there will be
very great demand created for II
abroad-especially in the British
Isles, in all the northern countries OF
Europe, and, perhaps, even IN tine
olive-growing countries themselves
Better Than Olive Oil.
Corn oil has unique qualities
which give it a great advantage over
olive oil in many respects. For one
thing, it's method of preparation pre-
serves it from rancidity to which olive
oil is so liable, for fermentation pro
cesses have been overcome IN the
preparation of corn oil.
Olive oil, as is generally known, Is
merely the oil pressed from ripe
olives. 1t undergoes no process OF re-
fning or sterilization. So there Il
nothing, once the oil has been expos
ed to the air-or even before, fol
that matter-to prevent the actor
of bacteria responsible for the oe
velopment of rancidity.
With corn oil, on the contrary,
GREAT care is taken to insure thorough
Sterilization. The crude, yellow OIL
EXPRESSED from the corn germs, IS pu

JEWS TURN TO PALESTINE;
PREPARATIONS FOR MIGRATION
Will Go Back to Homeland From
Every Part of the Globe.

More than 100000 Jews from
every part of the globe are preparing
to migrate to Palestine as soon as its
political status is fixed, according to
surveys by the international Zionist
organization, of New York city.
Emigation committees have been
formed in many countries, it is said,
while tens of thousands of young
men from every occupation have or
ganized groups for agricultural train
ing and study of technical and scien-
tifc questions bearing on settlement
of the Jewish homeland.
The whole Jewish communities are
preparing to leave Russia, according
to reports, and they have made
strong protests against the proposed
limitations of emigration to $4,000
year.

capped in becoming a real confdante
by the proximity of Colonel House.
Mr.. Lansing was not frequent Wis
itor at the white house before the
American mission sailed to France.
Burleson a Favorite.
Albert Sidney Burleson, the post
master general, was said for a time
to be the leading adviser to the pres
ident, but there is every reason to
believe at this time that the influence
of the postmaster general has suffer
ed something of decline.
The trouble with Mr.. Burleson is
that he won't bring himself up to
date; won't catch up with the times.
He still rides around Washington in
an open-faced hack, while every one
else in official life moves on an auto
motive schedule. No wonder the mails
are slow!
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior, is generally regarded in
Washington as probably the soundest
man in the entire cabinet, but some
how or other he and President Will
son never seem to have struck up
any great affinity, and Mr.. Lane sell
dom is heard at an "inner-counciP'
session at the white house.
Attorney General Palmer has been
an intimate friend of the president
for a great many years, and there
was much surprise in Washington
when he was not made member of
the cabinet when Mr.. Wilson first as
sumed his high Office. Mr.. Palmer,
however, has only been in the official
family a few months, and his influ-
ence as a cabinet officer remains to
be developed:

Secretary of the treasury-Mr.
Glass.
Secretary of the navy-Mr Dan

Houston.

Question Cleared Up
Dawson Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.


Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Dawson's pertinent question has
always been "Has anyone here In
Dawson been cured?" The word of
stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens, who we know
and respect. and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.
Mrs. j. C. Hill, 634 E. Lee ST.,
Dawson, says: "My kidneys were
weak and I felt dull and tired. |
often had dull backaches and pains
in my kidneys. Frequent headaches
and dizzy spells made me miserable
and my kidneys acted irregularly.
Doan's Kidney Pills were recon-
mended to me and I used some. They
soon cured me of my trouble and
made me feel better in every way"

Allies Can't Agree About the Few
Remaining German Vessels.
The great bulk of the once feared
German battleship fleet lies at the
bottom of Scapa Flow, Scotland,
sunk by the Germans themselves.
The allies, however, still continue to
quarrel over the disposition of the
small part of the German fleet which
still rides the waves.
AS the situation stand Japan and
the United States are understood to
favor breaking up or sinking the re-
manning warships. Great Britain APP
proves the plan to break them up,
while Italy agrees to their destruc-
ton conditionally; but if this plan
is not carried out Italy insists upon
having her share of the vessels, in
case they are divided among the
powers.

Gift of Hydraulic Go. to Visiting Nurse Associa- tion Will Be Children's Summer Home.

With a beautiful vacation home do- mated by the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company for the use of the poor chill dren of the city, the Visiting Nurses Association, under whose auspices the home will be supervised, are appeal ing to the public to assist in furnish ing up the rooms. The home is situ- ated in the midst of the country in Fairfield. It has ten rooms and large spacious grounds and groves where thee hildren can play.
 It is sincerely hoped that it would be possible to open the vacation home the first of July. There is a. possi- bility of accommodating 20 children for the summer but 1t is dependent on the funds to be given by the pub lie fas to how many will be housed. Children from any organization in the city will be taken but those whofheed the country air most will be giveh the preference. Miss Helen I. Boyd super intendent of the Visiting Nurses As sociation will appoint graduate nurse to have charge of the home.
 Four cribs for the babies have all ready been donated but practically all the furnishings of the ten rooms are needed. Arrangements have been made for A cots and there are number of blankets sheets and pillow cases needed Mrs. A. H. Bullard, is the chairman in charge of the fur nishings of the home and she is working vigorously with her commit tee to urge the immediate opening of the home
 Miss Boyd said today that 1t Is a splendid gift for the little children, who will appreciate the advantages of the open country whole-heartedly. tI is probable that the home will re- main open until next September and will offer a delightful vacation for many of the sickly and week young sters.
