FOSSIL TURTLES
IN NEW MEXICO
Some Of Them Not Less Than
1900, coo Years Old Have Been
Found in San Juan County
in Northern Part Of State.

Fossil turtles. some OF them NOT
less than 8 100000 and others 1000
600 years old, have recently been
found in San Juan county, northern
New Mexico.
The remarkable feature OF many
of them is that the bony boxlike shell
is almost as perfect as when it was
coupled by the body of the living
animal during the Tertiary and Gre
taceous periods.
A comparison Of these shells with
those of living turtles show that the
collection consists entirely OF swamp
and river turtles. The little ones are
about six inches long, but some OF
tho largest measure nearly thirty
inches.
In the same rocks with, the upper
cretaceous turtles there are found
fragments of dinosaurs, the Detroit
News states Four different kinds
flesh eating duck billed, horned and
armored dinosaurs, nearly complete
skeletons of which have been found
in Montana and Canada, were the
most bizarre animals the world has
ever known. They were stocly, short
legged, big bodied creatures, COM

VALUE OF
GOOD ROADS
Judge Hugh II. Craig, Former keo-
kuk Boy Concerned in Little Incl
dent Proving Their Worth
to Any Community.

The value OF good roads to any
community is admitted. Keokuk
people who know Judge Hugh H.
Craig, will be interested in the fol
lowing story about him, and which
also contains little sermon on good
roads, too. It is taken from Santa
Ana paper:
That the Santa Ana canyon road,
paved and in good repair, is as good
as mint for Orange county beaches
and business men was declared by
two well-known citizens of the in
terror counties.
One of these men was Superior
Judge Hugh Craig Of Riverside, the
other Paul Moore, business manager
Of the Redlands Facts.
Judge Craig has cottage at East
Newport. He came to Santa Ana to
buy stove.
1.-The stove in the cottage had rust
ed out" said he, land we had to
have a new one. So I'm buying it in
Santa Ana, and If it hadn't been for
the paved road in the Santa Ana
canyon / wouldn't have been at the
beach at ALL
Incidentally, the judge wanted a
certain kind of a hat to wear while
playing golf, hat that would shade
his eyes just the proper amount while
he squinted at the ball he was about
to hit with a brassie. And he bought
that hat in Santa Ana.
81 brought my family down to East
Newport for the rest of the summer"
said Paul Moore, "and while / am
going back myself, I'll be able to run
down again soon, for there is pave
ment in the canyon now. That pave
ment has made world OF difference
so far as Orange county's beaches
are concerned I estimate that there
are no less than 300 Redlands people
vacationing at Newport Beach, East
Newport and Balboa right now"
Moore is n member of the Rotary
club at Redlands, and was a guest
at the weekly luncheon Of the Santa
Ana Rotary club.

Drive Which War Department viii In
ausurate viii be Of Interest to
Local Former Service
Men.
TO BE NATION WIDE
Drive viii Pick Up All Who Failed in
the Pinch and Men in Doubt as
to Records Should Write
In.

A nationwide drive" that is GER
tain to be of interest to ali local ex-
service men, is to be inaugurated by
the war department in the next few
weeks, for the purpose of rounding
up all draft deserters, many of whom
are still known to be at large. In
preparing for the drive the depart
ment may publish a slackers' list
containing, according to present rec
ords, 1891 names.
Although every effort has been
made to reach every man classified
as to afford sufficient time for an
opportunity to show that he did not
wilfully evade his duty. notice Of the
impending ''drive" is given and every
man in doubt as to his draft record
is urged by the adjutant general of
the army to write to him within the
next two weeks before the Stacker list
is made public.
Urged to Write In.
The war department is most
anxious not to place upon any man
who served his country honorably,
the humiliation Of having his name
appear as a Stacker, and for that
reason is seeking the widest publ
city of the fact that list of de-
serters will be published, and that
the men whose names appear on that
list will be arrested and brought to
trial before a military court, !" ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
adjutant general "Any man, there
fore, who is not positive that his
record with his local board was COM
plete in every detail should at once
avail himself Of this opportunity to
clear his record and avoid the prot
able publication of his name as a
'deserter.
