Original Playing Cards.

The original pack of cards was a
culver of arrows. Playing cards are
regarded as derived from the divina-
tory use of the arrow away back in
the cradle Of civilization-China or
India. says Stewart Culin, the archae-
ologist. The ancients played games
with marked arrows, and the
Museum of Archaeology, University Of
Pennsylvania, has several specimens
of these primitive playing cards.
Ancient Chinese and Corean cards
are long and narrow, and by their
design and name show Enthusiastically
that they are conventionalized shaft
ments of arrows, retaining in their
suit marks the same symbolism as that
of the culver of arrows from which they
were derived. The old Corean and
Chinese name for playing cards is
fighting tablets"

ing to early estimates of farmers
This section has the reputation OF
producing more melons than any
other section of its size in the coun-

The decreased acreage is due. II
was asserted, to heavy losses sus-
tanned by the farmers last year, when
about 1000 carloads of melons, either
were left to rot or were fed to the
hogs. Poor marketing conditions.
high freight rates and shortage OF

reasons.
Much Of the acreage formerly used
