BENEFITS FROM DIPPING.
Polk County Cattle Growers Getting
 Better Prices.

Mena. March 24,-Since Polk county was released from federal quarantine in December the owners of cattle have been enjoying a demand and improv- ed price heretofore unknown because the release of the quarantine has en- abled the into hip thcir stock to West ern grass for about $250 per hundred weight more than could have been re- alized for the same stock under the quarantine. During the past 70 days 400 head of stock cattle have been shipped from Polk county to the vest ern pastures, and it is conservative to estimate that the owners realized S10 per head more for the cattle than would have been possible in their old market, which was the quarantine di- vision of the stock yards. for immed- fate slaughter Therefore dipping ths cattle during the past two years re- presents a gain for Polk county of S24- 900 during the first 70 days after the
 quarantine release. The eradication

MILL MAY NOT HE RE-
 TURNED TO ARKANSAS

 for Trial.

Topeka, Kan, March 24,--Rbbert Hill negro, wanted in Arkansas to face charges Of having melted race riot at Elaine, Phillips county, may not have to return to that state for trial
 This morning Gov Henry J. Allen refused to extradite Hill and the negro immediately was arrested by federal officer on charge of having imper- sonated federal officer in Arkansas.
 Tonight Hil's lawyers announced that Judge John C. Pollock in the United States District Court here to- day had granted a hearing on the merits of the federal charge against HiH This is contrary to the usual custom. Usually in such a case the federal judge would have ordered the prisoner returned to Arkansas as soon as the indictment against him had 1 been approved by the Arkansas federal court
 Attorneys for the state of Arkan- sas and for Hill have agreed upon April as the date for the hearing before the federal judge. but this date has not been approved by Judge Pol lock
 The federal charge against Hill in- wolves his activities among Arkansas negroes in which he is alleged to have represented himself as United States detective and to have worn a large tin star bearing the initials "U. s" Hill said that be obtained the star from a correspondence school for detectives.
 Governor Refuses ExtraIit;0n. Governor Allen announced his de- cisi0n refusing to grant eXtradition for Hill this morning. The lcnc hear ing was concluded shortly before mid- night last night
 In Hills testimony he declared that the trouble was caused by negroes lnin9 attorneys to try to get an ac- counting on their cotton crops. He said on the morning after the killing at Elaine he was eight miles from the scene ignorant of what had happened. with O. s Bratton, white attorney. tc:Bing him t3 sign up about go coD- tracts with negroes to start legal pre- oeedines 10 get an accounting on their cotton. He declared that white man informed him he was being soughr and , that q white family assisted him to escape and gave him the money. Ja summing up the case, the attcr- 7 ney general of Arkansas said .ha. the , situation is perfectly plain. there is plenty of evidence to show that crimes } have been committed; the defendant H:ll has been indicted regularly. The defense argued that the state : had failed to connect Hill with any of } the crimes described and that Hill } could not obtain justice in Arkansas.

LIIILEEFF0RT PUT FORTH ON
 UPKEEP SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A (by Asso- ciated Press).-The mechanical con- ditfon of AmeriCa'3 fleet has under gone little improvement since the ter imitation of the war ard the engineer performance of the individual ships 'ha not been satisfactory" Rear Ad- miral Griffin, chief of the bureau of engineering says in his annual re- port made public today at the navy department.
 The navy personnel, however, is commended by the admiral for hay ing successfully grappled with this situation with at least no retrograde movement" Admiral Griffin adds, however, that the operation of the ships with respect to their mechani- cal workings is not by any means what is desired although it has been better than "was reasonably to be ex- pected' under the conditions.
 Admiral Griffin attributed the troubles of the engineering staff mainly to an inadejuacy of operating personnel, but explains that the in- Aux of raw recruits coupled with the constant addition of new vessels to the navy list has increased the pro- blems The lack of men reacted on the engineering bureau in two ways, the admiral says.
 The number of repair jobs usually classed as navy yard jobs were great ly increased due to the decreased skill of men in operation while the yards were in addition, called upon to perform much work which ordinar- fly would be accomplished by the forces of the individual ships. The appropriations for the upkeep of the fleet were, in many cases, therefore used for the performance of work ordinarily done by enlisted men. The unusual demand served to reduce the funds available for major work of repairs.
 In addition to the extra cost caused by the personnel situation, the ad- miral says a number of other facts combined to increase the difficulties with which the bureau was confront ed. There was a large amount of upkeep work left over from wartime operation the report says and with this came closely pared appropria- tions in the face of increased labor and material costs.
 The navy pay scale also has served to reduce the number of skilled and technical employees who were able to obtain higher wages elsewhere. The situation, the admiral declares, is one which would occasion concern even under ordinary circumstances.
 Development of the navy's estab lishment has been aided substantial ly, Admiral Griffin says, through the cessation of work on wartime exten- sions in the plants and the conse- uuent reversion of those unused ma terials and equipment to the general stocks allowed by the appropriation bills

FOSSIL EGG MANY AGES OLD
interesting to Speculate on Its vicis-
STUDIES Through Centuries Since
IL Was Laid.

A pr0Spector examining the stones
In the ella river in Arizona came upon
| waterworn pebble four or FIVE inches
In diameter. He cracked off frag-
ment with his pick and discovered a
fossil egg inside. The specimen came
into the hands Of gentleman in Cali
fornia, who brought it to the atten'
ton of scientific experts.
The chief point of interest from a
scientific standpoint is the fact that
the contents of the egg had been con-
verted into bituminous substance re-
sembling asphalt, thus supporting the
hypothesis that bitumen is derived
from animal remains.
The egg is quite large-as large as
that of duck or goose-and re-
sembling most closely the egg Of a
cormorant. 1t is SO perfectly preserved
as to show that it must have been COM
pletely embedded very shortly after 1t
was laid in the substance that after
ward consolidated into limestone. Thus
we have representation Of an event,
that happened thousands and thou
SduuS VI years ago.
A bird of the size of a cormorant
or goose laid this precious egg, which
by some mischance tumbled into the
water, or at all events into the soft
ooze Of which limestone is formed
with sufficient force to become COM
pletely embedded in the ooze and thus
protected. For countless years this
ooZe continued to be formed on top,
and at last the whole became CONSOLE
dated into limestone. Then the lime
stone was lifted from its watery bed
by volcanic or other action and be-
came portion Of mountain range.
Then erosion began. Through the
agencies of frost and rain, sunshine
and cold, fragments of limestone were
broken off, until at last the egg was
reached and the fragments containing
1t fell into @le of the gullies that feed
the ella river.
There in flood time 1t was rolled
other stones, small and large, until all
its angles were rubbed off and 1t be-
came just an ordinary waterworn peb

downward when the floods came in
sufficient volume to stir it from its
resting place, and then prospector,
searching for gold or other mineral,

egg. $500 > -. .,- -~--..--...
Twas wonderful history. But still
more wonderful is the thought Of the
thousands and thousands Of years that
must have elapsed between the day
when the egg fell into the water anc

next met the light, as fossil, in the
hands Of man.-Pittsburgh Leader.
