The dancers were all dressed In
white caftans or In the blue shirts OF
the lowest classes. says Edith whar-

something that looked like fresh red
paint gllstened on their shaved black

blotches ON their garments. At first
these stripes and stains suggested
only a gaudy ritual ornament like
the pattern on the drums; then one

whirling caftans and forming fresh
pools among the stones; that as one
OF the pools dried up another formed
redder and more glistening. and that
these pools were fed from great
gnshes which the dancers hacked In
their own skulls and breasts with
hnfchets and sharpened stones. The
dance was blood rite, great .sacri-
fetal symbol. In which blood flowed
so freely that nll the rocking feet were
splasled with 1t.
Gradually, however, II became evil

rocked and howled. without hacking

Principal Aid to Learning.

In 1856 the schoolhouse In the
mountain grove district Of Cedar
county, otherwise known rs POssum
Hollow, was not a very elaborate af-
fair, reminisces Joe Upton Of the FL
dorado News. II Was built of logs
with mud chlnklng. The door was In
the front end and part Of one log
was cut out Of the rear and on each
side to admit the light. There was
no glass for window panes. The floor
was the bare ground. The seats were
made of logs split In half with the
bark side down and four stObs driven

ELECTRICAL DEVELOP

The west will not develop ahead
of its hydroelectric development.
Hydroelectric power enterprises
now surpass in Industrial Importance
mining. agriculture. manufacturing.
and transportation.
For each Of these four great in
dustries is dependent on hydroelec-
trio power in great abundance for
success.
It is estimated that present spring
drouth in California would take two
hundred million dollars of equipment
to supply water.
Yet the water is there for power
and irrigation but is largely in an
unavoidable and undeveloped form
for us to help save crops,
Every industry. bank, bond house,
jobber and working man in the west
is interested in increased electrical
development.
Illustrating this, A. f. Wishon OF
tn San Joaquin Light 4 Power Co.
of Fresno shows that his company
now has 1000 applications on file
for power service, 1900 of the APP
publications. being for agricultural SER
vice and 500 OF the 1900 are for
development of new lands, requiring
new homes, barns. buildings, fences
and farm equipment.
This one power company needs
$4,000, 900 in the next four years to
expand to meet the needs Of its ter
ritory. Thus 1t makes business for
everybody from day laborer and
manufacturer to banker and bonding
houses in expending $2s.O0O,oo0 to
create additional power for the pub

expenditure OF ten times that sum

The greatest problem of the cleo

ENORMOUS SUGAR CON-
SUMPTION

Increased sugar consumption in
various forms, especially confection-
cry is taking the place OF alcohol, as
q result of enforced prohibition.
II is announced that the per capits
consumption of sugar in our country
was S7.6 pounds in 1919.
TIL amount in the past year was
the largest in the history Of the
country.
This is shown by the report OF the
United States Sugar Equalization
board. The report shows per cap
jta consumption, population 105 .000,-
900 OF aboutsfourteen pounds more
than in 1918.
The total amount of sugar passing
into channels OF domestic consump-
ton during the year is placed at A.
$4,000 tons.
This is an increase OF $4,000 tons
over 1918 or 100000 tons higher
than maximum consumption OF any
previous year and is 100000 tons
above the average of the five previ-
Gus years.
With such enormous use of sugar
and food products made Of sugar why
should there be luxury tax?

Whitaker rose.

his head bowed in thought, 'What a

flung out of the room.
