Halloween, or All Hallow's eve, 10
clearly relic Of pagan times, for there
Is nothing In the church observance
Of the ensuing day of All Saints to
have originated such extraordinary
notions as are connected with this cele-
brated festival, or such remarkable
practices as those by which 1t is dis
tinguished. IN Roman Catholic coun-
tries Halloween is the occasion for
visiting the cemeteries and laying flow
ers on the graves Of friends and rela-
lives. but in parts of Scotland and
elsewhere the night Is devoted to mer-
ry-making and diyination of the future.

THE PLYMOUTH ROCK
ByT.T.MAxEY


WHEN the Pilgrim Fathers landed
w from the Mayfiower at Plymouth,
Massachusetts, they stepped out upon
a boulder which has become famous
as the Plymouth Rock.
This rock is said to weigh seven
TONS possess a greenish hue. to be
very hard and its surface capable Of
taking a high polish. Oval in shape
and having a fat top, 1t offered
made-to-order landing place for the
forefathers. Scientists declare that 1t
was undoubtedly carried by glacier.
from some strange and distant land.
Like most movable things Of pecul-
lar historic value, loving public has
been wont to disturb this valued relic
and change its location. In 1774,
while plans were under way to move
the rock to the town square, II was
discovered that the action of the ele-
ments had separated the upper and
lower portions. Nevertheless, the top
portion was moved. In 1870 years
later-it was again moved, this time
to location In front Of Pilgrim Hall
and inclosed with an Iron fence. Here
Il remained for forty-six years. Then
It was decided that the rock should
he returned to its original location.
Accordingly, after a separation Of
more than one hundred years. the up
per portion Of the rock was carefully
placed over the lower portion, where
IT now reposes under an ornate can
opy.
Here, this treasured shrine. to which
come visitors from every cline. shall
undoubtedly remain for all time, look
ing much the same as when Its side
was first grazed by the good ship
Mayfiower.

of this week. The local team, COM
posed of Sherman Sherry, Chris Han
son, and Edward Wrobel, with Lynn
Honaker as alternate, are leaving a

have had practically no opportunity
to have any practice on this class of
livestock. A stop is planned enroute

last year. This means there will be
four classes of dairy cattle, two class
es of beef cattle two classes of horses,
two classes of swine, and two classes
of sheep. Half of these classes will
be on market classes and half on
breeding classes. Our boys will COM
pete against Is other district contest
winners from the different sections OF
the state. The boys have never taken
part in a big contest before, but are
going to the contest with determine

was so forhidding as to prevent his
conquering it. Even the Little build
ing at the corner of fremont and
Boylston streets. Boston. which
structural engineers said was a physi-
cal impossihility to climb. has had no
terrors for him and he has gone to the
top. In Lewiston he climbed the
City hall and Manufacturers bank.
In Portland the Fidelity building,

George Policy has been climbing for

scaled some of Americas highest
buildings. among them bcinC: The
Woodwork building, 81 stories, Singer

90 stories Aston. Claridge, and Nc
Alpine hotel buildings; in Chicago he
has climbed the Masonic building. 81
stories. Railway exchange, IS stories
and scores of other skyscrapors.

ing personality, uses no ropes, hooks
nor any mechanical aids. 1t is his
strength and agility that has earned
I for him the peculiar position he now
occupies IN the athletic world. clad
in his immaculate white suit he
astounds the onlookers rs he goes up
the face of the building and then

formed on the edge Of the structure
