Dear Sir
May we ask that you publish this
letter through the open Column" Of
your good paper.
The National Headquarters of the
American Legion, at the suggestion Of
many different government officials,
strongly recommends that all ex-scr-
vice men with Honorable Discharges
from the different branches Of the
service, put them on RECORD with
the county Recorder of Deeds. This
is to prevent the loss Of the record of
the fact Of being h~onorably discharged
from the service. Should any one fail
to put this instrument on record and
it becomes lost or destroyed, it will
be impossible to secure a duplicate,
as none will be issued by the War De-
partment. Recording this instrument
will prevent the loss of It, as the
government will recognize the dis
charge papers as being in the posses
sion of the discharged servlce-man,
ven though the original papers may
be lost or destroyed.
Within the next two years it is 60
ing to be absolutely necessary that
every man with an honorable dis

Why You Should Buy Guaranteed Roofing

When you buy roofing you
want durability as well as Shelf
er. You want to know that it
will last long enough TO make
its average cost Per year a
reasonable figure.
That Is why Certain~tced should
appeal to you. For, when prop
erly laid, Certa;n-teed Roofing is
guaranteed for S, 10 or Is years,
according to weight.
The guarantee adequately pro-
teCtsyour investment, but it does
not accurately measure Certain
teed's life. In fact no one knows
just how durable Certain-teed
is, because in no case has it
Mexico weekly ledger., 1920-05-06

ever been known to wear out
on the roof.
And Certain-teed is more than
durable. 1t is weather-proof,
fre-retarding and spark-proof.
1t effectively shelters your
property.
With all these advantages, Ger
tain-teed Roofing costs less to
buy, less to lay and less to
maintain, than any other type Of
good roofing.
See your dealer about Certain
teed. He either has it Or can
get it quickly from a nearby
Certain-teed distributing center.

FARMERS GUESTS JUNE 5

Farmers from every country in the

Saturday, June 5, 1920, at the home
of President Frelinghuysen of the
State board of agriculture. They will
turn out in large numbers to attend
the field meeting which will be held
in connection with the June meeting
of the State Board of Agriculture. The
day will be n repetition of the occa-
sion when the farmers of the state as
sembled at Raritan on h farm of
Senator Joe" as he is a~ffeetionately
termed. four years ago. Nearly 5000
persons were present.
Hon. F.. T. Meredith. Secretary Of
Agriculture, of the federal govern
ment, has accepted an invitation to be
present and he will deliver an inter-
esting message to the New Jersey
farmers. Prominent state officials
have been invited, and there Will be
other timely addresses. President Free

words to say to his farmer friends.
The Commandant of the Tartan
Arsenal near New Brunswick Will
have two or three captured pieces of
artillery on exhibition at Senator Ere
linghuysen's place. so the farmers may
have some idea of the type of guns
their sons faced in the great world
war.
The occasion will be in the nature Of
an immense picnic. On account of the
difficulty in serving refreshments
properly to such a large gathering the
farmers and their families will all
bring their lunches with them. 1t is
expected there will be approximately
5000 farmers in attendance at the big

+. 5000 YEARS
Shoulder Blade of Egyptian

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 13.-Ihere has

shoulder blade of man in the last 6

w. Graves, Of st. Louis, who spoke
before the recent meeting Of the Am
erican association for the Advance
ment of Science here.
Shoulder blades CT Egyptian num-
mics 5000 years old, and those of IL
li1ois River Indians, belle ,ed to be
about the same age, are the same as
those of the present day man, accord
ing to DR.. Graves.
In July and August of last year, DR..
Graves measured 1900 shoulder blad-
es of mel and animals, endeavoring to
classify the differences in tnem- The
%vertebral borders, with which he was
particularly concerned, arc the same
in humans as in gorillas, Ehimpan-
zess and also in lower monkeys, as
well as in hedgehogs, armadilloes and
bats, he said.
Concerning the skeletons of Illinois
Rivers Indians, which he sud appear
to be between 1000 and 5000 years
old, he was asked if he considered that
proof that this continetnt was inha-
bited then by humans whose physical
type was as high rs that of the Egyp-
tians of that day. He said that he
said that he could NOT draw such a
conclusion, although the shoulder blad-
es are of the same type.
