ORDER INQUIRY
INTO UPRISING
AT JERUSALEM

Jerusalem, Palestine.-An official
inquiry has been started into the
riot of Nov. 2, the fourth annivers-
airy OF the Balfour Declaration IN
which Palestine was promised as a
National Homeland for the Jews.
when six persons were killed and
SO wounded.
The trouble had been seething
since two weeks ago, when the Pal
estine committee for independence,
with headquarters in Egypt, sent
kilograms to all parts of Palestine
advising all natives to close shops
and cease work yesterday as pro-
test against England's policy in
the holy land.
The government, therefore. hav-
ing learned of the holiday" tele-
grams, had taken elaborate precau-
tons for the safety of the people.
Troops with drawn bayonets had
been stationed in the strategic sec
tons of the city. Armed motor
cars paraded the principal streets.
Mohammedans and Christians kept
their shops closed. Even the Jews
who favor English occupation,
fearing disorders, had decided to
take holiday.
In accordance with pre-arranged
plans, a large crowd of Mohamme-
dams at 9 o'clock had gathered in
the Mosque of Omar, their only
place Of worship in Jerusalem. Pa
triotic speeches were delivered by
influential Moslems, thus creating
n tense feeling against the Jews
who were pictured as trying to
usurp the country"
What is believed to have added
fuel to the anti-Jewish fires was
the fact that the Mosque directly
overlooks the Jewish synagogue.
No one could determine with any
degree of accuracX today just how
the fighting started. Many rumors
were circulated, Numerically diff
fering according to their origin,
One report was to the effect that
a young Jew of bolsheVist type had
gone to the Mosque and jeered the
Mohammedan speakers. Another
report placed the blame on a group
of Moslem boys who are alleged to

NEWS SECURED
FROM SUNKEN
SUBMARINES

Portsmouth, Eng. - Commodore
Sir Frederick Young, salvage en-
gineer who was technical head Of
the British naval salvage service
during the war, in a lecture here,
told how German submarines
which had been sunk, were located
and examined. Each submarine
carried codes, operations, orders
and other valuable material. Spe-
cial salvage men were sent where
the submarine had been sunk, div
ers went down and "cut their way
into the interior after which they
thoroughly examined it. Much in
formation that proved of the great
est value in combating the U-boat
offensive was obtained.
The Daily Mail adds: 'It was
this submarine intelligence branch
which also unearthed the secret of
the German magnetic torpedo (al-
though Sir Frederick Young did
not tell his audienc this) and thus
let US into the secret of grave
new menace to our shipping"

SKULL FOUND IN
RHODESIA AIDS
DARWIN THEORY

Scientists say the OAR
winian theory that Africa may have
been the original home of the hu-
man race received partial corroba-
ration from the discovery just made
in northern Rhodesia of a fossil
lied skull which gives a new orien-
tation to the early history of prim-
tive man.
The skull, which is complete save
for the lower jaw, resembles that
of the ape man (pithecanthropus
erectus) discovered in Java in 1892,
which has been regarded as the
most primitive human skull known
until now. The Java skull. how
ever, lacked a face. In this respect
the Rhodesian fossil reveals type
curiously similar to what is known
as the Gibraltar skull.
Moreover, a collar bone, a leg
bone and part of a hip bone Be
lieved to belong to the skull have
also been unearthed, and they may
enable anatomists to reconstruct
the main parts of the whole Rhod-
esian skeleton.
The scene of the discovery was
the Bone Cave of the Broken Hill
mine, already famous for the beau
ty of its stalactites and stalagmites
and for the remarkable fact that
the lime of which they were orig
inally composed has been largely
replaced by phosphates of zinc and
! lead.
1t was the commercial value of
these formations that led to the
transformation of this cave into one
of the strangest mines ever work
ed.
! The floor consisted of a mass of
fossilized remains of elephants,
| lions, Ieopards, rhinoceri, hippopot-
ami, antelopes, birds. bats and
small mammals. Hundreds of tons
of these animal remains had been
removed, but no trace of man was
discovered until a depth of so feet
below water level was reached,
when the bones described were
found surrounded by soft, friable
lead conglomerate.

beating men and women with
sticks. But the real origin of the
fighting, at the moment of writing,
is still a mystery. However, 1t was
established that disorders began at
10 O'Clock in the morning in little
ddngy street. By noon the fighting
had spread to all sections of the
walled city.
Meanwhile, martial law had been
declared. The first act of the mill
tary was to disarm the members Of
the police force, who were charged
with collision with the rioters
Soldiers were rushed to the affect
ed areas with machine guns. BY
2 p. m, the situation was well in
hand and order had been restored.
The night was uneventful.

THE BAREFOOT BOY

The other day we saw him-the
barefoot boy. The clouds had scamp
cred away like flock Of deer over the
hill, the sun was lord in the sky, but
the ground was chilly from the cold
days of winter. There he stood hest
tatingly on the front porch, his legs
almost as white as the snow which
had in the days of winter covered
the landscape. Then he moved for
ward and began to- feel his way over
the pebbles, sticks and other small
objects on the ground It was a thrill
to come in contact with the earth and
the urchin enjoyed the thrill Shoes
are bunglesome things on a warm
day anyway and why not divest ones
self of them and feel the soft green
sward of early spring
Barefoot days are reminder of
the days before the war-reminder of
the days before fighting tore a great
hole in civilization. Then when one
found penny it was worth picking
up and one could ride to Madison and
back without placing crimp in his
pocketbook. Sugar was plentiful and
with a nickle the real joy of dish of
ice cream could be realized. Per-
haps the natural days Iw1ll return
again, just like the vernal days to the
barefoot boy.

year for at least 10 years. In every
other year each spring has seen peo-
pie move out while this year sew
eral families with children have NOV
ed in.
Two farms have been bought by
people from the West. None of the
newcomers are, as far as we know,
Ipeople who have gone to the coun-
try because they were thrown out OF
jobs in the city, but they are in near
lily every case people who have lived
in cities. They were originally far
mers, who went to the city to en-
Joy it's greater comforts, but have
found their incomes insufficient to
maintain them. Rent, food and cloth
es have cost them so much that they
have gone back to the rural regions
where the interest on the cost of e
farm will be only small fraction Of
the rent of only part of house in
town. We do not know whether the
experience Of this particular valley
| is repeat ted in any others but should
expect to find it so, because it is the
result of conditions which are gen
eral and inclusive.
1t is just what we have expected
would happen-that the cost of liv
ing in the city would eventually turn
back to the land the flow of popula.
ton which has been so long headed
toward the city. 1t could not be other
wise. You can go back in the hills
1and get comfortable places to live on
that support five or six COWS, with
plenty of firewood to use, for an in
terest charge that four months rent
in the city would equal. And the way
back country is not the same place
to live in it was a generation ago
The gravel roads extend everywhere
land the people who live in the re-
hottest regions go to- town in their
automobiles 10 times where they used
Ito go once.
Another thing, a generation ago il
was often not easy to sell many prod
rcts of the farm, even when you had
made long wagon trip to town. To
day you can readily sell anything to
eat in the town-Hampshire Gazette

INDIAN LEGEND ABOUT CORN

1t is to the imaginative Ojibway that
we are indebted for a beautiful leg
end of the origin of corn, and accord
ing to this legend, for corn itself.
Ambitious for the advancement of
his people, one of their leaders sought
seclusion in the forest, and during
a period of fasting and prayer appeal
ed to The Master of Life for help to
check the destructive wars among the
nations. After seven days, Mondomin
a messenger from the Great Spirit,
appeared and for four days this lead
er wrestled with him and defeating
him, buried the body under the leafy
mold where it fell
Through the whispering trees
came the command from above to
keep the soil loose and free from
weeds above the resting place of the
conquered spirit. and in short time
spears of green sprang up and with
the autumn coloring came the ripen-
ed grain that was to be the food of
the Indian forever No longer was it
necessary for them to depend for
subsistence upon wild grains and
game-the Great Spirit had supplied
them with wonderfully nourishing
cereal, that mixed in equal parts with
dried meat sustained them in the ar
duous physical undertaking demanded
by their primitive mode of living. Corn

to take little outing with my family,
now and then.
Furthermore, it is my candid be-
lief that if the taxpayers as whole
would only look about them and see
what is being done with our taxes
which we are called upon to pay each
year for buildings and the mainten-
fance of our state institutions, such as
hospitals for the insane, orphanages,
schools for the deaf and blind, refor-
matOrieS, clinics and hospitals fOG
the deformed, all of the penal insti-
buttons, the university which is one of
the greatest in the cUuntry-it must
be SO for we would not otherwise have
students here from almost every sec.
ton of the civilized world-the col
lege of agriculture, colleges and
schools of every description, our fine
roads-the best in the United States
they would allow themselves and
their families the pleasure of looking
about them beyond their dooryards
or farms and see that this old state
of ours is a great deal better than
we ever had any idea of. We have
$4,000 miles of road of which $500
miles are on the state trunk system,
900 are concrete, 1000 gravel, 1900
macadam, and 10 miles of brick.
Tie taxes that we are obliged to
pay are not altogether wasted, but
are being used in a great measure to
make this, our glorious Old state of
Wisconsin, still better place to live
in.
Very sincerely yours,
G. Koenig.

Journey From Connecticut
TO Baraboo In 1919
BY r. T. WARNER
Everett, Washington.

In youth the pleasur OF hope pre-
dominate; but in age the pleasures of
memory take their place. Youth looks
forward to the realization Of it's dream
of wealth and power in the Halcyon
days of age, to- the enjoyment OF the
Heaven "to be-; while age looks
backward to the golden dreams of
youth, as the Lost Atlantis the
paradise of the ''has BEEN"
My school days were spent among
the pioneers OF the Baraboo Valley.
Born among the granite hills OF New
England, and coming at the age OF
seven years to the far west, into the
beautiful Baraboo Valley was to me a
wonder and an inspiration. The
scenes and incidents of the long jour
ney,. from New England to far Wis
consin, in the year of Our Lord, eigh-
teen hundred and forty nine, were so
wildly impressed upon my memory
that they can never be forgotten. This
was my first experience away from
home. This was seeing the world.
From Milwaukee to Baraboo we jour-
neyed in freighters heavy lumber wa
gon, my father mother and 3 chill
dren. Our trunks and family belong
ings, with ourselves, made a heavy
load, and our progress through the
wilderness was necessarily very slow.
I'VE plodded slowly along, humping
over corduroy roads and occasionally
dropping into mudholes, that seemed
to be bottomless. I cannot remember
where we stayed the first night, but
the second night we were at Sun
Prairie,-not at the modern town of
Sun Prairie,-but at a cabin of set
tier on the prairie of that name. Here
