LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Editor of the Conn. Western News: North Canaan, onn., March g, 1921. To Whom it May Concern:
 I want to take this opportunity to warn the people of Canaan regard ing the signing up of contracts for portraits, or frames. A short time ago two very clever young men, claining to b. disabled soltiefs, visited numerous mothers in this vicinity and asked for pictures of their babies, or that of son who had been in service, ard by misleading statements ind&ced these people to enter into a contract fol the enlarge mnt of the photo, with he under sanding that the same would be en- tered into a contest to be held here in the local Higa School.
 Upon investigation find that a great many people have been taken advantage of, and ! want to warn those who, have not been taken in by these schemers, to be on their guard, and those who have already signed up or given photos to pay no atten- tion to threats, or threatening let ters from lawyers regarding the pay ment, particularly 50 if the portrait presented does not prove satisfac- tory.
 Respectfully submitted,
 J. Clinton Roraback.

LOST-A STATE ROAD

Where, oh, where has our state road gone? That fine macadam road over which the pedistrian, the auto mobilist or the man with horse and wagon could walk or drive at most amy time of the year without getting into mud up to his middle? It cer- tainly isn't in this town, though it was within the memory of most of ,our inhabitants. Now it has fled, flown, vanished or something, where nobody knows.
 Various opinions are held as to the whereabouts of this perfectly good road. Some hold the theory that it has sunk out of sight, while others believe it has either been buried with sand. or covered with mud by the state truck with it's drag, to such a depth that its recovery is impossible. Inl the meantime North Canaan is mudbound so far as the use of auto mobiles are concerned until the roads dry out.
 With all joking and sarcasm aside, this town, considered by the condition of it's. roads, is in a decid- edly7 serious position and from the lack of interest shown by the high way department, will probably re- main so until sufficient pressure is brought to bear on the official in charge. For nearly four years the people have been complaining, with just cause, yet nothing has been done here, while nearby towns have been given a stretch of highway of a permanent nature when it was no more badly needed than here.
 Something is decidedly wrong with the highway commissioner, the town or the people in the town, when they will stand by and talk among them selves about several miles of state road that is buried under foot c1 mud Let the people get together and register protest to the chief of the highway department. If nc then fails us or turns deaf ear, get out our individual bowie knives anC tomahawks and go after his oficia scalp like the wild Indians whicl we will certainly be unless some relief is forthcoming soon.

5IS ANCIENT LAND
Rhodesia at One Time Home of
 Large Population.
Even Today, Mantle of Mystery Hang ing Over the Country Has Not
 Been Completely Lifted.

We can now turn to the really TO- mantle side of the Rhodesian min eral deposits. One of the favorite pilgrimages of the tourist is to the Zimbabwe ruins, located about IT miles from Victoria in southern Rhode sia. They are the remains of an an- cient city and must at various times have been the home of large popula- tIons. There seems little doubt that Zimbabwa was the work of a prehis- torlc and long-forgotten people.
 Over It hangs a mantle of mystery which the fictionist has employed to full and at times thrilling advantage. Isaac +. Marcosson writes In the Sat urday Evening Post. Tn this vicinity were the King Solomon mines that Rider Haggard wrote about In what Is perhaps his most popular book. Here come Allan Quatermain In pursuit of love and treasure. The big hill at Zimbabwe provided the residence of She, the lovely and disappearing lady who had to be obeyed. The ruins In the valley are supposed to be those of the Dead City in the same romance. The interesting feature of all this Is that "She" and King Solomon's Mines" were written In the early sos, when comparatively nothing was known of the country. Yet Rider Hag- gard, with that instinct which some times guides the romancer, wrote fair ly accurate. descriptions of the country long before he had ever heard of Its actual existence. Thus imagination preceded reality.
 The imaginative miracles disclosed In the Haggard books are surpassed by the actual wonder represented by Victoria falls. Everybody has heard of this stupendous spectacle In Rhode sia, but few people see 1t, because 1t Is so far away. beheld 1t on my way from Bulawayo to the Kongo. Like the Grand Canyon of the Colo rado, 1t baffles description.
 The first white man to visit the cataract was pr. Livingstone who named it In honor of his queen. This was in 1855. For untold years the fatives of the region had trembled at it's fury. They called it Mosi-oa-tunga, which means smoke that sounds Wben you see the falls you can read fly understand why they got this name. This mist is visible ten miles away, and the terrific roar of the falling waters can be heard even farther.
 The fact that the casual traveller can see Victoria falls from the train Is due entirely to the foresight and the imagination of Cecil Rhodes. He Knew the publicity value that the cat aract would have for Rhodesia, and he combined the utiIftarian with his love of the romantic In planning the RhOdesian railroad, therefore, he in- sisted that the bridge across the gorge of the Zambesf, into which the mighty waters flow after their fall, must be sufficiently near to enable the spray to wet the railway carriages.
 The experts said 1t was impossible, but Rhodes had his way, just as Harri- mans will prevailed over that of trained engineers in the construction of the bridge across Great Salt lake.

eavaaes Use Iron Orc,

Explorers have been astonished to md in the wilds of Africa savages acquainted with the getting of iron from the ore and working 1t. To smeft the ore they use a primitive furnace of baked mud, with charcoal for fuel and bellows to obtain the re 4utred temperature. It seems alto gether likely that the knowledge of these processes was originally derived In prehistoric days from the Arabs and Phoenicians, who then, as in later times, overran most of Africa.
