TEXAS MOUNDS

Evidences of Race of Nomadic

In co-operation with the Smithsonian

"These mounds are piles of broken and

had regular camp sites at frequent III

of the eight-hour day is thoroughly
established; SO is that of the Satur
day half holiday. To tamper with
them is to be considered not only in
judicious but almost immoral. The
necessity for a whole holiday on Sat
urday is now being gravely discussed,
and, with it, the probability that an
eight-hour day during five days of
the week is too severe burden to be
borne.
The only promise, therefore, of an
increase in the per-hour production of
labor would seem to be in the greater
ability of good management to apply
itself to solving the problems of labor.
Any widening in the breach between
labor and management, therefore, will
tend still further to aggravate a most
confusing and irritating condition.
Somehow or other labor and manage
ment must get together; the one
earger to learn how to increase it's
productive power without jeopardizing
the things that make life worth while;
the other willing and able to evolve
and to direct the means to the de-
sired end. In the process there will
inevitably arise a far fuller and more
intelligent discussion of hours. rates,
and their relation to one another and
to living costs than has hitherto oc-

drawn up by a special committee of
the War, Interior and Agriculture De-
partments. 1t is composed of Major
General Enoch H. Crowder, represent
ing the War Department.; o. c. Mer
rill, waterpower expert in the forestry
service, who has been designated ex-
ecutive secretary of the commission
and H. A. Stabler, of the Interior De-
partment.
Members of the committee say the
regulations will be extensive and that
they probably will be announced in
series, with open hearings on each
group before they are made final.
Those relating to form and condition
of application for survey permit or Ii
censes will be the first announced.
The most difficult problem involved in
drawing up the regulations, members
of the committee say, is that of es-
tablshing a uniform system of &C
counting for licenses as required by
the act.
Under the Waterpower Bill the COM
mission is empowered to issue licenses
for a period not exceeding so years.
The licenses will pay to the govern
ment reasonable annual charges in an
amount to be fixed by the commission.
Upon the expiration of any license the
government, if two years notice IN
writing has been given by the commits
sion, will have the right to take over
and operate any waterpower develop
ment after payment of the net invest
ment of the licenses in the project or
projects taken, not to exceed the fair
value of the property plus such rea-
sonable damages, if any, to property of
the licensee as may be caused by the
severance therefrom of property taken.
In cases where such notice has not
been given the government also will
have the right to take over upon mu-
tual agreement with the licensee any
property developed under the terms of
the bill subject to the payment of the
net investment.

DRAFT RULES FOR
WATER POWER ACT
Commission Will Hold Hearings When
Regulations Are Completed.

Washington. July 23.--Regulations
for the administra ton of the Federal
act opening up the country's vast

BILE saving that would result from the
discontinuance of the Record. Mr..
Beene gave the cost for 1917 as SSO1,-

Cornelius Ford, the public printer
was asked for an explanation of the
high figure in 1917, but confessed his
ignorance unless it happened that
congress "did more talking that year.
Mr.. Ford said that in 1917, congress
was in session $50 days; in 1918, 307
days, and in 1919, 279 days.
The printed pages in the Record
for these years were 652,511,964 in
1917; 563,672,5 in 1918; and ASS,
$50 in 1919. The cost of paper has
increased greatly within the past
three years, but the use of a lighter
and less expensive quality has helped
reduce the aggregate cost of the pa
per used. For 1919, the paper cost
was $4,000 as compared with 1882
600 in 1918 and 100000 in 1917.

rising living cost, which by the END
of 1919 was almost 100 per cent above

It must be distinctly understood
that this decline in years earnings
was not caused by unemployment.
The particular group of carpenters
under consideration had been very
continuously employed throughout the

hourly rate of pay and with their in

COOPERATIVE MARKETING OF
 COTTON CROP

PHOENIX, Ariz., May A (by Asso ciated Press) s).-Co-operative market ing of the entire cotton crop of the United States is contemplated in a :, plan being devised by the American ; Cotton Association, according to w. s. Stevens, president of the Arizona branch, the Arizona-American-E Egypt ian Cotton Growers Association, on his return from the annual convention of the national association at Mont gomery, Ala.
 AS start towards national cooperative marketing of cotton the various branches of the association have tried cooperative marketing on 8 small scale this year, according to Mr. Stevens, and the experiment has proved so successful as to warrant working out a national plan to elimi- nate the middle men and give larg- CT profit to the cotton grower.
 To formulate this plan, a national commission, appointed by the associa- tion, will study the marketing methods of all successful marketing associations, both domestic and for eign, MT. Stevens said.

COLUMBUS, O., May 24 (hy Asso ciated Press). Ohio will have four different names for it's clock time this year, and three actually different kinds of time. They are: Eastern standard, sun time, central standard and advanced central standard.
 The last mentioned is name only for it coincides with eastern standard time. The name came about through action of communities in western Ohio deciding to advance their clocks one hour. It was the same as eastern satandard time, but they preferred to call it advanced central standard.
 About half of Ohio is on eastern standard time because the regular di. viding line runs midstate from north te south.
