Early in April an American hall will be
dedicated in the InvalideS Museum i'll Paris.
This hall has been set aside to commemorate
the part played by America in the World
War. 1t will contain relics, records and
other memorial material said to picture fully
the part which our military, naval and aerial
forces PLAYED in the Allied cause.
Other parts of the museum arc to be set
aside for similar exhibits i'll honor of the
other allied nations. The scheme as a whole
is said to Ike one of the most comprehensive
war memorials ever devised.
Such tributes play 4 more important part
in world affairs than that oi merely inter

THE PREHISTORIC TEXAN

Texas now takes rank with Patagonia III
prehistoric importance. The sandstone HIT
man skull found recently i'll Patagonia Is
matched by the human skull, also mlncra!'z-
cd. in sand pit near Dallas, Tex. The great
age OF the latter is said to he attcstcd not
only by the fosSilization, which must have
taken very long period, but by fossil re-
.nlainS Of extinct animals found along with
it, beneath layers Of clay deposited ages ago
Thus the human being who had that skull
for Il physical tenement must have been a
contemporary OF the sabcr-tooth tiger and
the mammoth. both now extinct, and OF cN-
tinct species Of the camel, elephant and horse.
From the details published, scientists csti-
mate the age Of that human skull at some
where around million years.
SO here seems to be another link II the
growing chain of evidence suggesting for the
human race All enormously greater antiquity
than was formerly thought possible.
The animal remains, themselves. suggest m
teresting questions. There have been no
tigers OF any kind anywhere i'll the Western
Hemisphere i'll historic times Neither have
there been camcls or elephants. The horse
is thought TO have originated i'll America,
but had become extinct here before the great
ice age and the modern type WAS rc-lntro-
duced by European settlers after the voyage
tof Columbus
Can it he that the elephant and camel, too
were natives of America, but cmISrated he

nection between North America ard ASIA

Virginia Farm
Land Increases
Value Goes Up In 1922
But Are Still Lower
Than 1920

Richmond, March 2o.-
Virginia farm land values have
increased slightly during the va
1922 according 10 a recent sur
vey made by Geo. W. koiner, State
Commissioner of Agriculture ard
Henry NJ. Taylor, of the l. >.
Division of Crop Estimates. Slight
" improved prices for farm prod
ucts, better credit conditions and
the more hopeful agricultural ot.-
look are the principal causes CIV
en- by correspondents for the IN
crease. Farm la. Is, however, are
still much lower than in 1920,
when the highest values on rec
ord were reported.
The average value of all plow-
land is estimated to be $500 per
acre, compared with $500 last
wear, ard $500 in 1920. The
present values arc practically the
same as reported in 1919.
The average value OF Virginia
farm lauds with improvements
was reported TO BE- $500 pc"
acre, compared with $500 last
ycar. and $500 in 1920. Farm;
, lands without Improvements aN-
cragcd $500 per acre rs against
$4,000 last year and $500 in
1920.
This seems an opportunc tame
TO purchase Virgins farm landT
because the advantages Of soil,
climate, transportation and proXi-
nifty to the great markets Of the
East make present prices very
reasonable, and probably lower
than they will over be again.
During the past few months the
State Department of Agriculture
has had many inquiries from
farmers and home seekers IT
other states requesting informa-
ton in regard to Virginia farms.
A special inquiry relating to
rarr, rents indicated that the
usual custom Of renting is for :.
part of the crop, which ranges
from onc-fourth to onc-half. When
cash rents IRE paid the avcraG'-
per acre for the whole farm IS
$500; for pillow land 500 per
acre, and for pasture $500 per
acre.

ENCHANTMENT

Tho sails We see on the ocean
Are as white as white can be;
But never one in the harbor
As white as the sails at sea-
And the clouds that crown the
mountain,
With purple ana gold delight
Turn to cold gray mist and vapor
Ere ever We reach the height.
The mountains wear crowns OF
glory.
Only when seen AFR,
And the sails lose all their white
ness
Inside of the harbor bar.
Stately and fair is the vessel
That comes not near our beach;
StStely and grand the mountains
Whose height we may never
roach.
Oh Distance, thou dear cuchanter
Still hold in thy magic veil
The glory Of far-off mountains,
Tho CLEAN of the far-off sail!
Hide in thy robes of sp!cndor,
Oh mountsin, cold and gray;
Oh sail, in thy snowy whitenesS
Come not into port, I pray!

the information necessary for thoroug,'

CANNERIES ARE PREPARED
 FOR RAID ON ALASKA FISH

Indications are that practically every cannery in Southeastern Alas ka will be operated this season" !" Walter DeLong, manager of the C. ". Young Hardware Store, and interested in the salmon canning in dustry said recently to representa- tive of the Juneau Empire. Mr. De- Long conferred with a number of cannery men in the States on his re- cent trip there and said all with whom he talked are optimistic for this years salmon pack.
 The previous packs have all been disposed of and the cannerymen anticipate prices for the 1923 packs will be as high as the past year which were: pinks, S1.20; chums, SIPS; reds; S2.25; echoes, s1.35
 As result of the packs of 1922 and of the prices received, almost all of the canneries are establish ed in credit and are in good finan- cial condition, Mir. DeLong said.
 Crews for getting the various plants in condition for operating are already leaving Seattle and all will practically be in the north this month. Hans Floe, superintendent of the p. E. Harris Company plant at Hawk Inlet and August Busch mann. of the Deep Sea Salmon Com pany, operating at Port Althorp, will leave Seattla shortly for the north. The company plant at Cape Edwards has been released to the 4. & P. Products Go. Mir. DeLong said he does not know when the officials of the Thlinget Packing Company. op- erating at Funter Bay, plan to come north but that he understands a full pack is anticipated by them for this season.
