UNIQUE TREASURE HUNT

Otto Kiep, Librarian of O%ttendorf,
found among his family archives
many references to a treasure sup
posed to have been buried by Storte-
becker, a notorious pirate. Herr
Kiep examined the ecords of sew
eral medieval castles and, by deduc-
tive reasoning, pitched upon one
near Neustadt.
Choosing a likely spot on this site,
he secretly dug there, and actually
found a chest Of gold pieces. He re-
inferred the chest, and is seeking the
promise Of the owner of the estate
that he shall receive the legal tariff in
return for his disclosure of the hid
ing place. He now believes that this
treasure was cached by another
pirate, and is bending new efforts
toward finding the S~tortebecker
hoard.-Scientifc American.

HONOR PAID TO BRAZILIAN
General Rondon, Famous Explorer,
Elected to Membership In the Ma
tional Geographic Society.

The National Geographic society
has elected to honorary membership
Gen. Candida Mariana da Silva
Rondon, famous explorer, often
called the William Penn Of Brazil.
General Rondon won this popular
Characterization for his peaceful
penetration Of the practically un-
known Matte Crosse wilderness, for
its rubber, where he so successfully
won the confidence of the natives by
his fair treatment and human as
sistance that they even helped him
string telegraph wires through the
/ jungle Of their hitherto forbidden
land.
General Rondon is the ninth man
elected to honorary membership in
the National Geographic society,
one Of the other eight being the late
Theodore Roosevelt, who, upon his
return from his Brazilian explora.

in this country by his high prais,

the action Of the Council, who
is too blame? If the men of the
town, who should have the good
of the community at heart,
would make it their business al
ways to be present at these
meetings, they could discuss
matters of this sort with the
Council, in their incipiency and
together, citizens and Council
could determine what measures
would best serve the community.
As it is the whole responsibility
is left to the Council. The way
the whole affair impresses us, as
women, is as if the members of
our Woman's Club, after elect
ing officers, should never attend
the meetings, leaving the whole
work of the Club to the presi-
dent and other officers, then sit
back and find fault with what
they did. We do not think this
is just to the Council, and since
we have been entrusted with
citizenship, we shall in the flu
ture consider it our duty to have
some representatives present at
the Council meetings.
We wish to thank the Mayor
and Council for their courteous
and considerable treatment.

SCENTED CHEESE

A short time before the war the
Germans on the occasion Of the
Oberammergau festivals placed on
the market a perfumed cheese, to
which they gave an immense amount
Of publicity. This cheese was easily
manufactured fresh little curds

finely chopped aromatic herbs. The
name with which the cheese was
labeled constituted its sole original

THAT WORD TREMENDOUS"

The idea Of fear and trembling
underlies the formation of the word
tremendous" The English word
tremble is a close kin, by way of the
French language, to the Low Latin
word "tremulo.'
The Latin word "tremeudus" lit
orally meant something that ought
to cause trembling, that is to say,
fear, either because of the size Of the
object so designated or because Of
size added to other fearful qualities.
At first applied to physical objects
alone, the word was gradually ex-
tended to immaterial things, such as
issues, movements, passions or other
attributes Of the workings of nature
or Of man. But the origin Of the
word is the primitive sense Of fear
at mere size.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

POLAND TO EXPORT EGGS

Poland will have available for ex-
port from zoo to 1000 carloads Of
eggs annually, according to recent
calculations based on the potential
egg production Of the nation, saws
the Poland Magazine. 1t is esti-
mated that the annual production
is approximately 1000, OOO, 900 eggs,
or $4,000 carloads.
At a recent conference in Cracow
the continued control of the egg er-
port trade was favored, since other
wise the low rate of Polish exchange
would tend toward the exporting Of
too great a proportion Of the ma
tons egg supply. At the present
rate of exchange it is about / cent
an egg.

NEW SOURCE OF PAPER PULP
East African Bamboo, Of Which I'm
mense Supplies Are Available,
Said to Answer Purpose.

East African bamboo, one of the
latest sources from which it has been
found that paper pulp may be OBJ
tanned, grows on the plateaus and
mountains of the colony Of Kenya,
at an altitude of 1900 to 1000
feet. These forests cover large areas,
in some cases many square miles in
extent. The largest Of these are To-
Gated in the Kikuyu and Mau es-
carpments, the Aberdare mountains,
the slopes of Mount Kenya and
Mount Elgon.
The distance of these forests from
the railroads is one of the difficulties
which must be overcome, if they are
to be thoroughly developed, the
nearest of them being three miles
from transportation facilities. They
are well supplied, however, by many
streams of sufficient depth and pow
er to float logs down to central
points.
Native labor is plentiful, but be-
cause Of the high altitude at which
the forests are located the Africans
who live in the warmer parts Of the
country have difficulty in acclimat-
ing themselves to the cooler tenn
perature. Once accustomed to the
change Of climate, however, the ma
tives do not object to working in the
cold districts. For Europeans, Of
course, the climate is ideal.

ODD IDEA ABOUT LIGHTNING
In olden Times Death From Stroke
MAJ Considered a Direct
Favor From Gods.

Although thunderstorms have
been numerous this summer and
lightning severe, the reported num-
Der Of persons struck has been com
paratively small. However, deaths
due to lightning are more numerous
than is thought by most persons. In
one recent year, for which reports
were gathered and published by the
United States weather bureau, 563
persons we're killed by sky bolts.
In the olden days, when %supersti-
ton held greater sway, it was be-
lieyed that death by lightning was
an especial mark Of favor from the
gods. In the rare cases when light
ming struck without fatal effects the
survivors were held in high honor
as having been touched directly by
supernatural powers. Of those who
died it was said their bodies were
preserved forever.
But, naturally, there was no live
ly yearning among the ancients for
such honors, enjoyed in the flesh or
post-humously. Charms against
lightning we're in demand, although
it must have puzzled the logical
Greek or Roman to reconcile the
wearing of such fetiches with the
belief that lightning-struck persons
were beloved Of Jupiter and his
lesser lights. Images Of the eagle
and the sea calf and pictures Of the
laurel were held in high esteem as
p~reseryatives against lightning.

SOME THINGS THE WOMEN
LEARNED BY
A SESSION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL.


LIST. That, following an APP
peal in the paper for the citi-
ems to attend the meeting Mon
day night, there were only six
men present, aside from those
connected with the Council, and
one of them was late-this, in
spite of the fact that the i'm
p%ortant question of purchasing
an expensive fire truck was to
be settled.
End. That the water pres
sure is up to requirements in
contract, only a few hours in the
day, That the water mains are
too old and worn to sustain the
pressure needed in case of fire.
That the man whose duty it is
to turn the water from the
stand-pipe to the system direct,
in case of fire, is such an elusive
individual that it sometimes re-
quires a chase of two hours du-
ration to locate him-and the
fire is too inconsiderate to wait
for him.
There doubtless will be criti-
cism of the Council for this
outlay for a fire truck-criti-
cism by people who never attend
a Council meeting.

It is the buyers, spectators, and a
few warehousemen on the larger
markets who have been getting for
tunes out of your tobacco.
1--WE must try the cooperative
plan of marketing our tobacco and
establish price for each grade that
will enable us to pay our just debts,
our children, and accumulate
something just as the spectators
have been doing"
My good friend, Col. Webb, has
the theory that cooperative market
ing will not work. The facts from
Denmark, California, Maryland, and
Canada seem to be somewhat
against his theory. In all these cases
some would-be guardians of the
farmers warned them that their crops
could never be graded or financed
but they went right on and graded
and financed them anyhow.
Yours sincerely,

Marketing of Tobacco.
But perhaps it may be said that
granting that cooperative marketing
has made Denmark one of the most
prosperous of agricultural counties IN
the world and California the most
prosperous of agricultural states,
still California and Denmark had not
tried it out on tobacco.
All right, then, let's see the reports
from some states that have tried CO.
operative marketing of tobacco.
"Co-operative marketing is the
way out for the farmer. With our
Maryland tobacco growers this is no
longer a belief but a practical accom-
plished fact" So said Mr.. H. H. Carr

"Aggie" Students Set
for Practical Work
Local High School Boys Will
Work Out Projects
Studied in Class
rooms

With the weather clearing up and
the spring tang in the air, the stu
dents of the Agricultural Department
at the High School are getting ready
for their practical work.
This Agricultural Course is one OF
the most popular with the boys at
the school and in the present class,
there are twenty-five, six of whom
make Newark their home, the remain
ing nineteen are from surrounding
rural territory.
The first thing on the program for
this wear will be the work in the hot
bed. This hot bed is of concrete and
was made by the pupils last fall. 1t
is an excellent piece of work and good
results are expected from the crops
nlanted. The hot bed will be used for
the purpose of early planting of vege-
tables of various kinds. Cabbage, to-
matoes and other plants of this ma
ture will be set out by the boys who
have taken up gardening projects
This has been the subject of study IN
the class room of the High School
during the fall and winter months anc
now the students will work these out
in a practical manner.
For the first time the local scnoo
will have an orchard in which to study
This orchard was placed at the dis
nosal of the school by DR.. Thomas
Nanns and is located in 1.-The or
cbard." Here the "Aggie" student
will have practical demonstrations Il
the art of pruning and spraying. Thes
practices have likewise been the topi
: of study in the class room IN the o'
l season.
: Some persons are of the oplnlo
that the lads who take the Agrlcul
tural Course in the High School ar
doing so in hopes of getting out Q
I work, but it must be taken into cor
sideration that after spending the Ia
and winter months in the school room
these students do not have the reg'
,or vacation afforded those OF othe
d denartments. 1t is in these montf
d that the "Aggie" students DO the
e real work and learn the practical SIC
n of agriculture. ..u

this course are from rural ois.rie.
