AirpIanes Sold for 60 Cents.

The British government recently
sold a number of airplanes for &C
cents apiece at the Lincoln airdrome
disposal sale in London.
The machines had become out of
date after several years of service
and had been junked the wings and
the engines being removed. Neverthe-
less, the purchasers who paid 60 cents
for an airplane received the body of
the machine with the copper fittings
and pipes, which in all originally cost
several hundred dollars.
The purchasers, for the greater
part, were anxious to buy the planes
to break up for firewood during the
coal shortage. Small boys dragged
their fathers along to buy a plane so
that they might get the wheels to use
on scOoters and homemade automo-
hiles.

CORN SENT BY GREAT SPIRIT
Indians Have Their Own Legend of
the First Production of the
Nourshine Cereal.

1t Is to the imaginative Ojibway that
we are indebted, for beautiful legend
of the origin Of corn, and, according
to this legend, for corn itself.
Ambitious for the advancement of
his people, one of their leaders sought
seclusiOn in the forest, and during q
period Of fasting and prayer appealed
to the master of Life" for help to
check the destructive wars among
the nations. After seven days, Mon
DAMN, messenger from the Great
Spirit, appeared and for four days
this leader wrestled with him and,
defeating him, buried the body un-
der the Ieafy mold where it fell
Through the whispering trees came
the command from above to Keep the
soil loose above the resting place Of
the conquered spirit, and in a short
time spears of green sprang up and
with the autumn coloring came the
ripening 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 with dried meat
sustained them in the arduous physi-
cal undertakings demanded by their
primitive mode of living. Corn was
the answer to the prayers for help In
the advancement Of the race.

Man." but it appears to be sadly
neglected by the present generation,
possibly through ignorance Of its
nOurishing Qualities as a foodstuff and
its cheapness.-From the Corn Bulle-

riND SHIP M HEART OF CITY
Hull Buried in San Francisco, Records
Show, Is a Relic OF the Gold
Rush Days.

San Francisco discovered an old
wooden ship under the streets of Its
! business section recently. relates Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. COnluc'
tors eXcavatlng a deep foundation for
new sllyscraper with steam shoveis
were hindered in their work by strange
massive tlmbers found 30 feet below
the surface. They had accidentally
stumbled upon the preserved remains
of some strange buried craft.A
The bronze-sheathed and copper
b0lted huh measured 100 feet in
length by 30 feet beam, and great in
terest was aroused by the puzzling To-
cation of the relic a mile from any
water The city's history revealed,
however, that it was the Euphemla
bit of whose historic and romantic
existence Is as follows: :,
In the days of 40, when the mad
stampede around the Horn to the new
California gold fields was on, numer-
Gus ships were abandoned by their
crews at the end of the journey, and
left to rot on the mud flats of San
Francisco bay. But, in forming the
municipal government of the fast
growing city,by the Golden Gate, the
first town council bought the
Euphemia, and converted it into a
prison ship. Those were trough"
days in San Francisco and this, the
first Jail the city could boast, was tied
to wharf, and soon filed up.
An old sketch of the scene at this
part of the water front reveals an
other ship, the Apollo, converted into
a saloon and lodging house. AS the
city grew sand forced the waters of
the bay back from the spot by filling
in the shadows, the novel spectacle
was formed of a strange ship sticking
up out of the ground in the heart of
the city, surrounded by substantial
stone and brick structures.
During the next So years, the city
attained great size. Then it was sud-
denly half leveled by great fire. And
had it not been for the necessity of
a deep foundation for the latest edi-
fee to rise over the spot, II years
after the Euphemia became jail, the
old hull would have slumbered on for
another fifty or one hundred years.
AS it was the contractors experienced
considerable difficulty in removing the
mud and sand-locked skeleton with
modern steam tackle, but made a small
fortune out of the sale of the heavy
copper and brass junk found on it.

LAND or beauty
Traveller Writes OF Art Treasures
in Old Mexico.
Among Thorn, CathedraIs and Churches
as Fine, or Finer, Than Any
Found Elsewhere.

The guileIess tourist who throngs
European picture galleries, because he
Is told ii Is the proper thing to do, Will,
some day, when he has got 1t out Of
his head that Mexico Is a nation entire
ly inhabited by murderers, find
that there are artistic treasures just
as worth while only little way across
the Rio Grande. There are hun
dred great churches and cathedrals
more beautiful than any yet dreamed
Of in his own country; there are pyr-
amids that rival Cheops and bas-re-
liefs as striking as anything Nineveh
could show; above ALL for those in
search of beauty in common things,
there are a dozen handicrafts, the
products whereof would drive collec-
tors mad with rapture If they were
bought in Naples or Ishpahan. The
blanket serapes worn by the men are
familiar, chiefly through machine-made
limitations; less so the rebosos worn
by the women; of a special interest
as showing the blending of East and
West Is the native pottery, as for eX
ample, the beautiful Talavera and
Mudejar ware. Although the intro
duction of this is usually ascribed to
the Dominican monks, its Spanish or
Arabic influence is, in actual fact,
merely overlaid upon the very much
more ancient native craft of which
examples are still preserved in the
National museum and elsewhere.
1t is safe to say that not one in a
hundred persons If asked to name the
three finest equestrian statues in the
world would know that at least one
of them is to be found in Mexico. 1t
represents King Carlos " of Spain
and is said to have been the first
bronze statue ever cast In America.
1t is without any question the finest,
ranking second only to that of Bar
tolommeo Colleoni in Venice, yet l
mention it here, less for what it is
than for what it represents.
The Mexican people unfortunately
for their reputation live in a country
of unparalleled fertility and wealth.
Were they only more enterprising and
business like they would long ago
have sacrificed its beauty to the bene-
fit of their own pockets and thereby
gained the admiration of their neigh
bors. Their cities, today mines of
beauty in which you cannot walk
100 yards without passing some noble |
church or palace fit for the sleeping |
Beauty" or quaint detail of quainter |
public life, would be rectilinear night
mares where skyscrapers and factor |
les and elevateds and smokestacks |
fought with each other which should |
most openly show its contempt for |
mere humanity. Perhaps if the advo- |
Gates of progress and efficiency at the
expense of your neighbor have their |
way, that day may still come. 1t will |
be a bad day for Mexico; it will be
An even worse day for the rest of the
western hemisphere, for it will herald |
the final victory of materialism in the
new world and the permanent diSap-
DearanCe of that religion of beauty |
which is called art-Oliver MADDOX

TO REDUCE FIRE RATES
Two Hundred Representatives of In
surahce Companies to Meet Here.

Two Hundred Representatives of In
surailce Companies to Meet Here.
Representatives of nearly two hun
bred fire, tornado and hail insurance
companies operating in Kansas are
expected tof attend the>conference on
rates called by Col. Frank L. Travis,
state superintendent of insurance, for
October II.
Travis hopes to obtain material
reduction in fire insurance rates. He
calls attention to the fire losses in
Kansas which have been but 34.3 per
cent of premiums in the last two years.
The percentage of losses paid to pre-
miums has averag ed more than SO in
the last half century. This would in
dictate, Travis asserts, that the rate on
fire insurance could be reduced at
least 5 per cent.
The state superintendent will ask
the insurance companies to segregate
their losses as to fire, hail and tornado.
He believes that hail and tornado in
surance rates are now comparatively
low and that the holders of fire insur-
ance should not be compelled to pay
the present rates in order to make
good the losses from hail and tornado.
An investigation will be made of in
surance rates in other states to see
how they compare with those now in
effect in Kansas.

MILK WOULD HAVE PREVENTED
PELLAGRA

The United States Public Health
Service says pellagra is due to under
nourishment of the body, caused by an
unbalanced diet.
Milk is the great factor of safety in
the diet. 1t completes and balances
the ration needed to keep the body
strong and healthy.
Milk is not "a beverage, 1t is a food.
A quart of milk supplies as much fuel
to the body as two pounds of potatoes
or eight eggs. But milk must be good
or it is highly dangerous. That is
why ten bottle-fed babies die to one
baby fed by natures method.
