FRUITS OF FINEST FLAVOR
Two Productions of the Philippines,
Highly Esteemed, Are Compare
lively Unknown Elsewhere.

Among the productions of the
Philippines are two delicious fruits
almost unknown in the rest of the
world. One of these is the DURAN,
whose remarkable qualities were des-
canted upon by Alfred Russell Wal
lace during his explorations in the
Malay archipelago.
1t grows on a lofty tree somewhat
resembling an elm, is about as large
as coconut, has a shiny shell and
contains creamy pulp which COM
bines some of the flavor of a de-
licious custard with that of a fine
cheese.
To eat durians, we are told by
those who know, is new sensation
worth voyage to the East to ex-
perience. Americans in the islands
call the DURAN s'the vegetable Linn
burger cheese"
The other rare fruit spoken of is
the mangosteen, said to be the only
fruit which the governor general of
the island has never tasted. The ex-
quisitely favored liquid it contains
cannot be preserved for shipping
abroad.

MAY HAVE BEEN CONTINENT
Exact Position OF "Lemuria" Has
Been Subject Of Contention
for Many Years.

'Iemuria" is the name given a
supposed continent in the Indian
ocean belonging to a former geo
logical age-the possibility of such
continent having existed being as
sumed by some of the zoo geogra-
pliers ''to explain the chronological
unity of the human family"
Lemuria was $50 called because
it included Madagascar and the
islands Of the Indian ocean; home
Of genus of mammals known as
'lemurs,'" according to the New
Standard Dictionary, The Britain
MICA says that :" it has been
suggested that land, Iemuria,
once connected Madagascar with the
Malay archipelago, and that a
northern extension Of the Antarctic
land had once united the three
southern continents" and, in speak
ing OF Rodriguez Tor Rodrigues),
an island in the Indian ocean: ''The
island was at one period believed to
consist Of granite overlaid with
limestone and other modern forma-
tons, and its supposed formation
caused it to be regarded as rem
nant Of the hypothetical continent
of Lemuria."

Unfortunate People In Sweden suf-
fered Because Of the Then Gen.
eraI Belief in Witchcraft.

Dalarna was the principal scene
of witchcraft trials which are so
ugly a blot on the reign OF Charles
XI, himself one Of Sweden's best
rulers. Persons, mainly women,
were accused of carrying away chill
dren on cattle and broomsticks to
Satan's headquarters, Blakulla, de-
scribed as "a splendid palace, shin
ing like fire." Here the names OF
new arrivals were entered in black
book in letters of blood, and they
engaged both in ordinary occupa-
tions and in loathsome orgies, while
their food was brought to them by
animals from the woods. The con-
victions were often based on confess
sions of the most grotesque charac-
ter made by demoralized, half-mad-
deneds children, though the bulk of
the clergy and authorities firmly be-
lieyed in them.
The pine-clad Karingberg alag
hill) just north Of Leksand,
in these days with an OBJ
tower for tourists, was the
scene of the burning of eight women
in 1871, and spot on the high road
outside Mora is indicated on which
fifteen were burned two years ear
lier.
Easter cards in the Mora shops,
witches bound skyward on
broomsticks, accompanied by black
cats and drinking from beer bottles,
are harmlessly intentioned, if not
particularly thoughtful, manner Of
commemorating these wretched
peoples fate.

LEWIS COUNTY MARINE IN
SOUTH SEA ISLES.

The South Sea Islands, which have
always held a charm for young men in

Mr.. James MCGEE of Steele, Lewis

Guam.
MCGEE joined the Marines at Spo-
kane, Wash, December 7, 1922, and
for several weeks was stationed at
Mare Island, Cal. 1t is customary to
send small groups of Marines to Guam
from time to time to take the place
of other soldiers of the sea who have
completed tour of duty abroad. Nc

island Half Fertile, Half Arid

A remarkable feature of many of the
islands of the Polynesian groups is the
luxuriant vegetation on the southeast,
or windward side Of the islands, in
marked contrast to the northwest or
leeward side where the forest is re-
stricted to extremely limited patches,
with lsrge red-covered areas of wide
extent, suggesting aridity and the alb
sence Of fertile soil This is, no doubt.
due to the fact that larger percent
age OF moisture is deposited on the
former, the prevailing southeast trade
winds being comparatively dry by the
time they reach the opposite side.

Football Facts

QUESTION
A claim that in a big eastern col
lege game some years ago in which
goal from field was attempted, the
ball carried long distance, then
struck in front of the goal posts,
about five yards short of carrying
over the crossbar. The moment the
ball struck the ground it seemed the
kick/had failed Of it's purpose. On
the first bound it carried over the
goal post and the goal from field
was allowed. B claims that such
thing never happened and that it
should not have been allowed if it
did. Is A or B correct? If player
should attempt goal from the field,
and it is apparent the kick was fall
ing short only to have it strike an
opponent and pass over the cross
bAsy.is it legal?

ball must pass over the cross-bar of

mistaken this play caused change
in the wording of the rule. 1t is now
very explicit and says: '1n no case

leaving the kicker's foot, touches
the ground before passing over the
cross-bar or goal posts. On the 9TH
er play the rule is very definite, say
ing that if the ball strikes an oppon-
ent and then passes over the cross

Opportunity knocks but once"
So said the sage. But don't you be-
lieve it. It isn't so.
Opportunity Knocks every day of
your life. Every advertisement in
this paper is brimful of opportunity
for some one. Many of them are
written with you in mind. They offer
you opportunities to save time,
money and effort opportunities to
surround yourself with comforts and
conveniences - opportunities to eat
better, sleep better, dress better and !
live better.
You would live in ignorance of
these opportunities were it not for
advertising. Somebody might be
selling new, better and more eco
nomical food; or a utensil that would
add immeasurably to your comfort
and well-being; or some better ma
terial for making shoes or clothing
but you would never know it.
Modern advertising is boon. It
keeps information up to date on the
many things we need in order to live
profitable, happy and useful lives in
this age Of rapid-fire progress.
Every advertisement in this paper

FARLEY WOULD
QUIT SHIPPING
BOARD PLACE
Announces His Intention At
ter Holding Il Conference
With Coolidge

Washington, Dec. 2S-Edward T.
Farley. chairman of the shipping
board announced after "A conference
with President Coolidge, that he
had requested the executive to with
draw his nomination as commits
sioner Of the board now pending
before the senate and that upon it's
withdrawal he would resign as
chairman of the board, which office
he now fills by recess appointment.
Mr. Farley indicated that the
president would accedc to his re-
quest for withdrawal of his nomln-
alton, upon which an adverse report
recently was voted by the senate
commerce committee. The chair
man said his formal resignation
would be sent to the president with
in few days.
The senate committee in voting
adversely on the nomination OF Mr..
Farley, held that he was geogra-
phically unqualified for shipping
board commits sionership inasmuch
as the law provides that only one
commissions may be appointed from
states bordering on the great lakes
and that T. c. O'Connor of Buffalo,
N. y, prior appointec, qualified
from that section.
Mr. Farley in explaining his IN
tcntion to resign, declared that if
he were unqualified, as held by the
senate committee, he was unquali-
