CITY "REpUCED" PRICES

MAKE America safe for the shop
peril was the interesting exhorta-
ton uttered at the convention of
the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World at Indianapolis; appro-
priately following several addresses
on the subject of Truth in Adver-
Using" That there is need of such
counsel, haec fabul docet-only it
isn't a fable but an :o'er true tale"
of the great metropolis. One day,
some weeks ago, lady purchased at
great department store, not a
thousand miles from New York,
few yards of silk goods, at six dol
lars the yard. The next day she
saw a flaring advertisement of that
store, saying that there would be
horizontal reduction in prices of
practically all goods. to the extent of
twenty percent. Seeing in that an
opportunity to get some more of her
silk goods at lower price, she went
to the store again, and found the
identical piece of goods from which
her purchase had been taken. She
was informed that it was among the
wares the prices of which had been
cut, and she could have ii at a re-
duction of twenty percent from the
marked price. But when she look
ed at the tag on the piece she found
that instead of the six dollars which
she had paid the day before, the
marked price was now eight dollars.
So, If she wanted to get the goods at
the reduced price" she had to pay
S6.40 a yard instead of the former
price of Sc. Instead of making the
additional purchase she went home,
looked up her arithmetic, and tried
to figure out how an increase OF
forty cents yard could be equival-
ent to a reduction Of twenty percent.
She did not succeed in that calcula-
ton. But in another book she
found an old-time story in which
most amazing paradox was explained
with the terse statement, 'The boy

must regard "Make America safe for

general adoption.

WILL SlFT ANCIENT MOUNDS
Areheologists Plan Most Thorough
Examination of Structures at
Camp Sherman, in Ohio.

Excavations of seven prehistoric
mounds at Camp Sherman will be
started by DR.. William G. Mills, cura-
tor of the Ohio State Archaeological
and Historical society,". The farm on
which the mounds are situated was
one of those condemned and purchased
by the government for Camp Sherman.
The only examination ever made Of
the mounds was by Squier and Davis
Ina 1916. Relics they uncovered were
purchased by the Blackmore museum,
Salisbury, England, for $4,000.
Squier and Davis were responsible
for the conclusion that the mounds
were built by distinct race, known as
Mound Builders" This theory Is Wig
Orously contested by Doctor Mills and
other noted Psychologists. They say
there is conclusive evidence that the
mounds were built by American In
dams of the Algonquin family. Squier
and Davis, in their examination Of
the mounds. merely tunneled several
of the mounds. Doctor Mills will COM
pletely tear them down sitting a great
part of the dirt through screens. There
are % mounds In the group. Some al
ready have been excavated by Doctor
Mills. One was found to contain 1873
skeletons and 1900 specimens of flint,
copper and pottery implements and
vessels.

SERIOUS AUTO COLLISION

Harry Nelson had his scalp bad
ly torn, Seth Schneider sustained a
fractured wrist and Mrs. John jerks
had her front teeth knocked out and
she and her daughter, Miss Florence,
all of Avoca, were badly bruised in
an automobile accident Saturday ev-
ening.
Nelson and Schrieber in an Oak
land Six, attempted to pass car
ahead of them and did not see the
jerks Cadillac occupied by Mrs.
jerks and her daughter, approach
ing from ahead. The machines
came together with a great crash
and the occupants of both were
thrown out. Nelson was taken to
the home of his parents, where his
scalp wounds were dressed; the
young mans condition is said to be
not dangerous. Mrs. jerks receiv-
ed a severe nervous shock, in addi-
tion to other injuries.
The accident occurred about two
miles east of Avoca, near the Mer-
rift True farm. The Oakland car is
a complete wreck, while the Cadillac
was damaged but little.
Those who arrived on the scene OF
the accident say the former machine
was smashed to the consistency of
kindling wood, and that hardly
piece of the mechanism or body re-
manned whole. That none were
killed was a miracle. The Oaklands
was tearing up the road attthe rate
of SO miles an hour 1T is said, in

When Mankind Was Younu.

Not being as well informed as DR..
w. d. Matthews, curator of the Amer
lean Museum Of Natural History. is
about the matter, you have to take his
word for it. "It" happens to be the
"Teinoden," or Terrible Tooth" a
prehistoric animal that must have re-
sembled some equally prehistoric de-
lirium tremens animal.
What really interests us is the fol-
lowing statement from Doctor Mat
thews:
"At that time our ancestors were lit
tie, opossumlike, furry creatures, iiv-
ing in trees and quite too small and
incOnspicuous to be troubled by the
huge reptiles who in those days held
the earth in fee."
The opossum. like lot Of men, is

know the last word in the high links
line. Its music Is said to be Just a
little jazzier, its dances little more
daring, its bathing suits Just little
scantier and its near beer just a lit
tie nearer, in fact its high jinks just
a little naghtier than anywhere else
you might name.
But California is after the New
York record. More than that she
believes in holding a supremacy once
it is won, so its high jinks is intro
duced in its educational system
where it may be expected it's founda-
tons will be. lad deep and strong.
There is no royal road to learning,
but out in California university they
see no reason why it should be slow.
So a bunch of fraternity men and
sorority girls at the Delta Kappa Ep-
silon house in Berkeley the other
night tried the experiment of putting
little pep into old Man knowledge,
and we have the word of the San
Francisco Chronicle that it was en-
tirely successful.
Some of the neighbors didn't know
exactly what was taking place, but
others who watched through the
open windows and who are authori-
ties on such matters say it was a
strip poker" party. For those who
are not acquainted with this particu-
lar form of the great indoor sport it
may be explained that in strip poker
each player who bets and loses is
compelled to shed some part of his
wardrobe-his coat, his tie, his shoes
his shirt, his sox, etc. The exact
order in which feminine players pay
their losses has not been laid down
by Hoyle.
The sound of popping corks ap-
prised the neighbors early in the
evening that some form of com
mencement exercises were getting
under way at EPSILON house. The
neighbors on one side of the house
saw the group of six men and six
women gather at a table. Later
they looked again. Then they rub
bed their eyes and looked and looked.
There was little sleep for them that
night. Yet none of them complain
ed to the police.
AS the stakes accumulated in one
corner of the room and the sartorial
bankrupts left the game a dance to
the tune of popping corks was start
ed. According to the Chronicle there
were solo dances, classical dances
and, others. A day or two later
President Barrows wrote some let
tiers and two sorority women and two
fraternity men left for home. Only
President Barrows knows who were
the participants in the escapade, it is
said, and he has gone to Europe.
The jazz age has arrived. Maybe
we shall have to endure it for a long
time. California seems to be the
first to offer post graduate work
along this line..

WHY THEY LEAVE THE FARM

Wnen the lnQulrlng Reporter ask
ed men why they had left the farm
they replied that for years as hands
they had no consideration from the
farmer and refused to stand the con-
ditions.
Domestic servants frequently give
the same reasons for dislike of
household service. Long hours of
duty were added to a dependence in
living conditions which were dis
tasteful. The servant lived as an i'll
considered word of the household.
The farm hand regarded himself as
an unfortunate appendage to a farm
er's household and employers ac-
cepted things as God-made condi-
tions which were natural to a certain
estate.
The natural human ambition is to
seek as great a degree of individual
independence \as possible. If it
cannot be independence on the job,
it can be independence in domesti-
city. The person who gets his keep
as a part of his hire will be striv-
ing for a betterment which will put
him more on his own.
Probably neither hours nor social
conditions can be changed for hands
on farm and possibly not for serv-
ants in a household. The instinct
for home will be defeated by such
service and the people in it will try
to throw off the restriction and gain
independence.
That points more and more to
homes Independent of servants and
farms independent of hands, which
means that machinery must take the
place of human hands in house and
farms must be cut to size the own
er can work himself
Dairy work has the most difficult
ty in getting hands because it means
seven days a week, and the hand
does not want to surrender his COM
plete time. The owner of the cows
may be willing to milk seven days
week, but the hand wants other
work. The owner under the impulse
of ownership will do what he cannot
hire men to do.
Forty acre farms which permit
ownership farming without hands
may be the requirement of agricul-
tural industry if it is to be stabil-
lied.
