walked upon and squashed down flat?"
1T docs sound that way" said the
potato. But still you aren't all
trampled upon and squashed down fiat.
In fact, don't know that l ever saw
folks going around and tramplng upon
you. To be sure, your name has a fiat,
trampled-upon sound"
"And, oh, dear" said the squash,
we're such dull sort of family.
There is no interest to us. We're not
fascinating and pretty like the to-
matoes, and we're not even loved by
some and hated by others, like the Gu
cumbers.
"They are interesting, for they have
both friends and enemies.
Nov we haven't any who really love
us. Most people think we'll do and
that we do no harm and that we're all
right, but no one ever gets excited
over squash.
"And l do believe it's the name
which keeps people from getting ex-
cited about us.
Many and many have been the times
members of our family have heard chill
dren and grown-ups say: oh, we're
going to have corn today; gOodier
"Or, We're going to have tomatoes
today! Hurrahr
or We're going to have peas to-
day; how nice?
"Or, Only few months now and
we'll have asparagus What joyP
"Or, We've grown some lettuce, see
1t is in the box in that sunny window
Isn't that fine?
But no one says that sort Of thing
when they're going to have squash.
Squash comes and goes, and no one
cares. 1t is eaten and no one rejoices,
and it appears and no one cries out
with delight.
81 do believe 1t is because of our
name, too. No one could get excited
and happy over squash. They would
feel trampled upon before they got
excited"
well" said the potato, 81 see what
you mean; but then people never get
so excited about me-"
Perhaps they don't get so excited
about YOU" said the squash, but
they're fond of you. If you're left out
of dinner you're missed.
Folks ask where you are, and all
that sort Of thing, and they are fond
of you, too They like you mashed and
they like you fried and they like you
baked"
well" said the potato, when I'm
mashed must have pretty trampled
upon sound to the world"
NO" said the squash, you haven't;
for you are nice and fluffy and creamy
and, besides, you're not called by the
name of Mash, as l am by the name of
Squash.
Folks are fond of you as they
would be of a loyal friend. They

It issf16e belief Of Doctor Smith that
the location of the cave was not known

Besides the skulls many primitive
implements of carpentry and warfare
were collected and brought to Manila.
These consisted of stone hatehets.

strange amulet. Deer teeth and shells
were also found in the cave, leading
Doctor Smith to the conclusion that
the primitive cave dwellers lived by
hunting and fishing.
Prof. II. o. Boyer of the %anthropo-

of the Philippines, who has the skulls
and other relics brought from the
cave, expressed the belief that they
belonged to the early %lndonesian peo-

who has done a notable thing for the

man say that he would give the Me
Iced heirs and Mr. Fraley $4,000
more than that for the grove. 1t was
their love for the college and Lake
land and with desire to advance the
cause Of education that prompted
them to place this low price upon the
property. In mentioning those who
have done things worthy of note these
good people should be included Mr.
