Will Make Grass Course
The land, which IS very level,
should make a splendid course when
the artificial traps and hazards are
pu,. in. Bids are now being receiv-
ed for the plowing of the land and
the sowing of grass on the course.
As there seems to be nothing to
prayeat this work being rushed, Mr..
fJo2es believes that everything will
be in shape for playing Thanksgiv-
ing games.
A small house already on the
place can be made over into an att
tractive little club house by the
additions of big porehes, modern
water system, etc. 1t will contain
mems and women s locker rooms,
a golf shop, equipment for serving
light lunches, and lounging porch
es.r Estimates are now being made
for it's remodelling, and it is an
ticipated that it will be in shape
before the course is done.
Already 80 of the desired 100
members have signed up and it
is believed that u large number
will come in, now that definite
arrangements for the future of the
club have been perfected.

GUTENBERG BIBLE FOR SALE

From Leipzig comes word that the
copy Of the famous Gutenberg Bible,
which Is said to be the finest example
extant of the first book printed by me-
chanical means, is on the market, to
be sold to the highest bidder.
The Bible for years has reposed In
the Leipzig museum Of books. Its sale
at this time is forced because the mu-
scum Is unable to continue It's exist
ence without new funds to cover its
cost Of maintenance.
This copy Of the Gutenberg Bible was
presented to the state of Saxony by q
Dresden collector. The state, In turn
vested the title In the Leipzig museum
and this institution, at the present, l:
prepared to pass on the heritage to the
highest bidder.
Artists Of Germany, including MAJ

are attempting to raise funds to cove

WILL INVESTIGATE OLD CITY

While the world Is waiting with
bated breath for the complete revela-
tion promised by Lord Larnarvon's

learns Of the intention of a number
Of American supporters Of archeo-
logical excavation to expend sub
stantial annual sum for ten years on
the investigation Of the ancient Punic
city of Carthage. Half historical and
half mythical, Tyrian Carthage
which must not be confused with the
later and Hourishing Roman city Of
the African fathers, of the Donatlsts,
and of Belisarius-stands as no city
of sweetness and light, but rather as a
type OF the commercial and, for all
the splendors which poetry and art
have woven about Its fabric, of the
commonplace and the banausic. Arche-
ology, however, may correct this i'm

performed its task, II may be ques-
toned whether, after all, Carthage Us
seen through the eyes Of Virgil, Tur-
ner and Flaubert does not yet present

Indian medicine man, after he lad
taken Ion pull at his pipe.
Nancy and Nick sat as quietly as
they knew how, waiting for the
story. They had seen the rabbit
through Umpeetah's magic glass.
1t was this way" went on I'm
peetah. "Once upon a time a mighty
hunter came TO the place where the
plains and mountains meet. He had
made many arrows and well he de-
served the name of mighty. for what
he saw he killed, and he saw much,
for his eye was swifter than light
ming.
But winter came quickly that
year. 1t tore down the mountain
passes and out onto the plains like a
white fury while the cottonwood trees
were still in leaf and before the wood
berries had withered.
sinister Mighty Hunter had lost
his way; he was hungry and almost
frozen and it was night
AT last he found cave, and hav-
ing flint stone and afew dry twigs
he made atiny fire. Then he dug I'M
der the snow and found some pine
branches and made greater fire.
"Then he law down to sleep. 1t
was warm in the cave now.

"Then he stopped. No, no, 1 can't
eat such helpless creature. Lie
down, little rabbit, and keep warm as
long as YOU like. No harm shall
touch YOU
Thank yOu,' said the rabbit
gratefully. And he lay down close
beside the hunter and slept.
Three cruel days passed. More
snow and cold bitter wind, with never
chance for food
Il will give you the life YOU
would not take offered the rabbit.
AT least one of us shall be saved
But the hunter would not have it
so.
The great hunter thought Of his
squaw and papoose waiting for him.
and at last partook of the food that
was offered.
Suddenly fairy stood before
him. The little white rabbit is on
the MOON, shesaid.
With this magic glass you can
see it. Take it and tell your chill
dren's children never to be unkind
TO an animal. They must never for
get the rabbit on the moon. Go now!
The storm is over. You are SAFE
The mighty hunter turned and
left the cave. But ere he did so, he
threw his bow and arrows on the
fire"
THAT'S nice story, said Nancy
and Nick. "Thank you, Umpeetah.

HURD'S BROOK WORK IS
PUSHED At WOODBRIDGE

WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 21.-Sena-
tor Morgan L. Larson, township en-
gineer, with all the members of the
township committee made an in
spection of Hurd's Brook which Is
being cleared and Strengthened by
q contractor, following the receipt
of complaints from Mrs. Rebecca
Il. Morris and Franklin Moore, pro-
perty owners along the brook line,
that the contractors are encroach-
ing on their land.
The DIRECTORS commended that the
engineer in making the improve
ment specifications for the brook
failed to take into consideration the
lines of property owners. To sus-
tain the objections a map of 1851
was presented showing the bound
airy lines as established when the
deeds were made out. The line of
the brook. it is understood should
run parallel with the bridge and not
in curves as it does today.
The inspection group was told that
the brook was running along a
straight line, but in the following
years the sound was filled in causing
the zig gag run. Following consid-
cradle discussion, it was agreed that
the township should proceed with
the work ip~urcordanee with the
original map of 1851.
