"super-yachting," new sport
which enables a part of from 400

on a grand scale, and affords
greater opportunity to meet new

ArrotD Was Shot
By AnOM-T Timer

Lying hidden deep In the soil,
while centuries rolled by, a
perfectly formed flint arrow
head, which had evidently been
shot from the bow Of some pre-
historic man, was found last
week on the farm OF j. w. Sch
mitt, near Lake George. This
arrow head was found by ditch
tilers working under the direc.
tion of Oscar Flum OF kasota
about four feet beneath the sur
face In rich black soil. Mr..
Flum, who has been engaged In
tiIing about Lake George and
Lake Washington for several
years past states that at about
that same level In liars gone by
he has unearthedFa a number Of
perfect indian stone hammers,
the remains of buffalo deer and
elk antlers and the bones of ami
mails long since extinct In this
region. ....- -.
b. L. Rose, who Is perhaps the
best versed man In Mankato on

the implements Of war found
were dropped by their owners
since the last Ice age. The

that this was many hundred of
