TO UNCOVER BIBLICAL CITY
Thorough Exploration of the Site Of
Beth Shan Is Expected to Yield
Important Information.

Relics of seven or more cities which
successfully stood ON the same site
and of nine different civilizations are
expected to be uncovered by the ex-
cavation of the biblical city Beth-shan,
In Palestine, which is to be under
taken in June. The work will be done
under the direction of Clarence s.
Fisher, curator of the Egyptian Sec
tiOn of the museum of the University
Of Pennsylvania. Official permission
to undertake this work has been re-
ceived from the government of PaIes-
tine.
Beth-shan is now known as Beisan.
1t is situated in the valley of Jezreel,
just west of the Jordan and not far
south of the Sea of Gallilee.
More great battles are believed to
have taken place within sight Of this
city than, perhaps, on any other spot
known to history. The investigators
hope to find there the keys to the
whole history of that section of the
world written either on marble slabs
containing the laws, DEGREES, treaties
and other information or on bronze
tablets or written in clay with cunei-
form characters.
Beth-Shan was a strategic point OF
value to any of the great military
leaders of ancient times who aspired
to try his hand at world domination.
1t was on the route of all the builders
of ancient empires. Beginning 5000
years ago, it suffered the blows of the
armies of SargOn, Abraham, Hammu-
rabi, Sennacherib, Nebuchadnezzar,
ThOthmes, Saul, David, Alexander,
Pompey and Napoleon. Joshua led
his troops against Beth-shan. but
could not take it, because its defend
ers used iron chariOts-fOrerunncr of
The tanks in the World war. The
crusaders made Beth-shan a point Of
attack in their vain efforts to conquer
Damascus. When the Assyrians came
down like a wolf on the fold, Beth
shan was one of the places they took
and it has been dominated in turn by
Greeks, Romans and Arabs.
The investigators expect to find
there the strata of perhaps more than
seven cities, each built upon the ruins
of the other as successive waves of
invasion swept over and destroyed It.
1t Is within sight of the Mount Of
TRANSPORTATION, the scenes of battles
between David and Saul. and the
Witch of Endor, who recalled the
shade of the prophet Samuel to en-
tighten Saul, had her home near this
ancient city whose secrets now are
sought.

will spend, than can be had if the
street is improved in accordance with
the prepared plans, they will be only
to glad to make changes accordingly,
for it is our duty to get as much street
for the dollar for the people as it is
possible to get.
AS stated, no one dare question the
advisability of widening the street to
a uniform width from the west cor
poration line to Clinton Street. The
question is, how shall it be paid for ?
The village at large, as has been
done in neighboring villages should
pay large precent of the difference
between the cost of the street anC
what the State pays towards the i'm.
provemnet. Payment should be OF
fifty fifty basis. The State paying
fifty percent, or whatever the State
might pay and the Village and abutt
ing property owners paying 25 per.
cent each.
If this method of payment is adopt
ed by the village council, a fifty foo
property front would not be assessed
to exceed $500 including interest
providing payment was made on thu
five year semi-annual paying plan.

FIND FARM PRICES
AT FOOT OF LIST
Potatoes and Pigs Hold Up Best, Say
Economists - See Money in Hogs

In their most recent of monthly
analyses of price levels, rural econ
omsits of the Ohio State University
find that farm products are bringing
the lowest prices of any group of
commodities. The previous inquiry
showed mined products and rubber
lower than farm crops in the price
scale.
Farm products prices average Ia
per cent above the pre-war scale of
1918, writes ]. l. Falconer, who
makes this months report. This re-
presents a decline of 5 per cent since
October.
Wide variation exists between
prices of different groups of farm
products. In November, for example
corn was selling 80 per cent below the
pre-war price; potatoes were 100 per.
cent above; wheat II per cent above;
while pigs were just about at theil
1913 level.
/ During the 10 years from 1910 to
1919 in Ohio, the farm price of 100
pounds of live hog was equivalent
to the price of II bushels of corn
Since January, 1920, there have beer
wide shifts in this ratio. In June
1920 the ratio was IA; in March, 1921
was II, while in November, 1921, il
was 13.
This wide ratio would indicate pro
fit in marketing corn by feeding i
through hogs.

HE'LL PULL THROUGH

Like a CLEAN of sunlight shining
through the gloom which overhangs
the American farmer because of the
the declaration of the editor of the
Dakota Farmer to the effect that the
farmer need have no more worries
than the average business man of
the cities and towns and that the
farmer will "come through he al
ways has and he always will.
The farmers situation is really no
worse than that of any other class
1t only looms large by reason of the
fact that farm prosperity is the basis
of all prosperity, and because the
farmer, having confined his buying to
absolute necessities, has helped to
lessen the market for all other pro-
ducts. 1t is not right, of course, that
the farmer should receive very small
hour pay for his efforts, but small
hour pay is better than no pay at all
and the farmer has not yet and neve,
will take the position that some
workers do - that he would rather
join the "soup line" or starve thar
work for small pay. For that reason
there will always be a farm mar.
ke1.'
A return to normal farm condi
tions depends Largely on a reduction
Of freight rates. And we believe il
farmers around Wauseon woulc
write their congressman and demanC
that ne fight for such reduced rate.
they would very soon get what they
stand in need Of.
