Many farmers are increasing the
sales Of their farm products by using
the Dispatch classified advertisements.
They bring the producer and the con.
sumner together and the farmer finds
a ready market for his product. Peo-
pie in Columbus and over the Column
bus territory are coming more and
more to watch the Dispatch classified
ads offerings of farm products. Try
a classified ad on anything you have
to sell from farm products to second
hand farm implements, or livestock OF
anything on the farm you want to sell
or trade.

OLD SAYING SLIGHTLY MIXED
Familiar Before You Could Say Jack
Robinson" Does Not Convey
the Right Idea.

Opinion differs as to the proper du-
ration of social call. Anywhere
from ten minutes to half hour" says
the woman who has social secretary
and whose daily job is calling" to the
tune of tea and waters. "All after
nOon," says the bourgeOisie, who takes
along her knitting and sits down to
coffee and cake. "And then" say
some, "lt all depends upon the call.
On some occasions and with different
people we stay longer than others"
But Jack RObinson's calls never
varied. He never stayed long enough
to wear out his welcome. In fact hard
ly had he been announced, hardly had
the servant who admitted him spoken
aloud his name than he was gone.
SO, as you see, before you can say
Jack Robinson" has no reference to
the time it takes to say it. "As long
as you can see Jack Robinson" would
be more in order with its origin and
significance.

ANCIENT STONE RUINS PUZZLE
Scientists Completely at a Loss to Ex-
plain Massive Structures on The
Caroline Islands.

Whatever the political future of the
Caroline islands, which Japan seized
from Germany, they are bound to be
objects OF scientific interest for gener-
atiOnS to come.
Who built the massive stone struc-
tur"C which give evidence of a high
h%Eree Of civilization at some prehis-
tonc time? What was the origin Of
the stone currency, some coins OF
WHICH weigh five tons?
These are but two of the many Ques-
tlonS which these Pacific islands OF
mystery present. The stone ruins ex-
tend from Ponape an island toward
the east of the group, to zap, on the
west.
On zap are great stone terraces, EN-
bankmentS and roads composed of
neatly laid stone blocks, stone graves,
stone platforms, and enormous cham
bers resembling council lodges with
gables and tall pillars frequently
carved.
POnape disClOses the Pacific Venice.
There the ruins are partly submerged.
Apparently they once stood on an is
land city, unless their site was con
nected with other islands before ter
rifle upheaval inundated them.
What remains today IS more than
half a hundred rectangular walled is
lets projecting above the waters Of a
lagoon. There is an outlet lagoon, sep
arated by Il hreakwater three miles
long. In all this construction huge
basalt blocks were used. Apparently
they We're untouched by iron tools.
Recent study has confirmed the be-
lief that these mighty megalithic mon
uments antedate the present native
population of the CarOlinaS.
Origin of the unique stone coinage
is not known. Shell money seems to
have Supplanted the unwieldy stone
disks for small change before the white
man arrived. The stone money" Is
made from limestone or calCite. It
probably was employed for primitive
banking rather than for general cir

assured by its weight. Specimens are
found piled about the homes Of native
ChicftanS.
Including reefs not inhabited, the
Caroline islands number more than
500. OF the total land area Of 800
square miles, 3O7 square miles are COM
prlsed In Ponape, Yap, Kusale and
HOgOlu, or Truk. In 1911 the total
population was about $4,000, and Of
these fewer than 400 were Europeans.
The islands extend for about 1000
miles east and west. They lie more
than 1,JOO miles to the east of the
Philippines and about 1000 miles
north Of New Gulnea.-National Geo
