LEGION POST FIGHTS H. c. L.
fChicago Tribune)

Leading in a movement which they hope will spread all over the country the Wilmette Post of the American Legion has started through its two hundred members a spending boy colt" war on the high cost of living.
 Formation in the post of the Not Nickel' club marks the opening of the battle. The Not a Nickel" club de- mands of it's members that they take an oath that they will. for one year, not spend on themselves mot nickef' they are not compelled to spend.
 Tn other words said C.. Lysle Smith, one of the leaders in the move ment, "our members will not spend cent upon themselves unnecessarily"
 We believe this excessive spending of the people is a serious matter and if continued might lead to save suits. The post accordingly went on record in support of the Not Nickel club. Members of the club will wear on their lapels a small button, on which the words Not a Nickel will appear"

TEXAS PLAINS ONCE
OWNED BY CANNIBALS

AUSTIN, Tex. Evidence that
Texas was inhabited by prehis-
toric people different from the
Indian who roamed the plains
when the first white men came
has been unearthed by James E.
Pearce, professor OF anthropology
of the University of Texas. The
early inhabitants, he said, lived a
nomad-like existence. roaming
from one part of the wilderness
to another and killing with rude
stone weapons animals and even
humans for food.
In cooperation with the Smith
Observation-Disclosures of Ethnolo.
gy. Prof. Pearce has been invest
igating the mounds for more than
a year, he reported.
The life history of these people
has been read from the records
they left in their burned-rock
mounds or kitchen middens, "
the professor said, These mounds
are piles of broken and charred
bits Of limestone three or four
feet high and made up of the
kitchen refuse of the prehistoric
people who had regular camp
sites at freq ent intervals along
the Edwards plateau. extending
from Austin westward to New
Mexico.
These people evidently were
advanced to the stage of paleoli-
thic culture. an earlier age than
the peoried of neolithic culture
to which most of the American
Indians belonged. These early
Texas inhabitants had arrows
and spears tipped with flint
points. chopped but not polished.
They did not polish their stone
weapons, nor did they engage
in any form of agriculture They
were however. skillful skin
dressers, for we have foun d skin
scraping tools made of flint.
The kitchen middens which
we discovered are the only things
of their kind in America, so far as
| know. although they have been
found in other parts of the world.
At these sites, camps were
located with a great fireplace
in the center over which huge
slabs of limestone were placed
as a sort of primitive stove upon

MAIN" CIRCUS

On the grounds at Alabama and

of small boys on hand to water
the elephants and superinte nd
the raising of the white city"
were enough to promise that the
elephants will never be dry while
in Martinsburg-not even with
these huge beasts capacity for
water.
The number of people that
witnessed the imposing mile-long
street parade that officially began
the big doings', was perhaps
the largest ever assembled on
Martinsburg's streets. Wagons
painted and decorated with gold
and silver leaf in Wonderful
style; wild animals in open dens;
beautiful ladies riding undisturb-.
ed with ferocious tigers, dainty
equsstriennes on prancing beau
tiful steeds, male riders in gor-
geous inlaid silver trappings;
bands of music; calliopes, all the
things we have come to expect
from a good circus went to make
up a very neat and clean parade,
The afternoon show proves as
good as the billing. Marvel

act handled by Miss Snyder
seemed to win the hearts of all
and her fearless work was greet
with outbursts of applause.

DORTCH LAW UNDESIRED.

If the News were selfish, it
would sustain the fight being
made in this county to get the
Dortch law again fastened upon
it, law which has been tried
and is heartily detested by the
citizens generally. To fasten
the Dortch law upon Marion
would mean more business for it
in various ways. for the Dortch
law means increased expense, as
far as an election is concerned,
and the News assuredly would
receive some crumbs of political
patronage.
However, ignoring our own
claims for business, we are OPP
posed to the Dortch law as unfair
to voters wing are honest but tim
i'd or uneducated, of whom there
approximately is the same per
cent. venture to say-of
white as colored citizens.
Moreover, it is ridiculous to
think that such a law is neces-
sary in a county where nearly
every voter is known in a COM
munity. 1t is possibly mostex
cellent thing in a crowded city,
where a man does not know who
lives behind the wall next to
him, but as a measure for the
protection of political purity in
Marion it is nothing more or less
than an expensive, troublesome,
cumbersome. political fake,
The politicians who are trying
to fasten this Objectionable law
again on Marion comprise the
same old bunch that every ses-
sion of the legislature piles more
political affection on this county,
even to Acknowledgement.
