 Archaeological Discovery.
 German archaeologists are greatly interested in reports that the Rus sian Professor Subinin, who for years has bee excavating near Simfero- pol, in the Crimea, has discovered prime during the time the Scythians ruled the sCrimea. This period, ac- cording to archaeologists, who have studied relics from Scythic tombs. roughly appears to have begun about the sixth century before Christ and to have continued to the second cen tury. Anno Domini, and after the Scythians, at various times, fought for their existence against Darius and Philip II of Macedon and other warriors of those ages.
 Wants No Clothing.
 "why should I wear clothing? l was born unclothed, and what na- ture produced can never be bad. Why Is it immoral for me to go without clothing, II uo not want lo wear it and find that it is handicap to my comfort?"
 Thus Otto Lieder msde his appeal to Berlin court recently. He was fined 10000, ,0o0,0 marks, however, and warned never to appear outside his farm house near Bahlwitz unless he was suitably dressed.
 Lieder has appealed against the fine and insists he will fight for what he terms his rights to the high est court in the country. Lieder be- longs to a cult which has many fol, lowers and which advocates the abo- slition of all clothing. During his trial he secuted suggestion from the court that at least he should wear loin cloth and stoutly con- tended for what he called birth d ,.x.s.s ', fa,tan in tha winter

HISTORIC CASTLE
 RAZED BY FIRE.
Was Occupied By Frederick The Great And Contained
 Many Art Treasures

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-(By Associated Press.)-Frederick the Greats old castle on a wooded hillside near Glogau. Silesia. which for centuries withstood attacks by robber Knights and foes of other Kinds, has been swept by fire. All the objects of art and other historic treasures fell victims to the flames.
 The castle of Herrndorf, as it was called. was one of Germany's most historic buildings. In the summer months it was visited by thousands of tourists from Germany and abroad. It was in this castle that Frederick the Great for the first time entertained Silesian nobility and gave a state dinner to hum dreds of personages which became famous for it's elaborateness This was in December, 1740, about the time of the inauguration of the first Silesan war Frederick had taken up headquarters in the castle.
 The ruined castle. which several times previously had been damaged by fire, was connected directly in, va rious ways with Germany's early his- tory The Elector, Frederick Will helm of Brandenburg, one of Fred erick thee Greats, ancestors, in 1886, ceded Silesia to Austria. being com pensated with the district to the north. Later, however, the north ern district was returned to the Aus trians, but Frederick the Great all ways held that this territory was his rightfu} property, and he re- solved to occupy Silesia with his forces. This step led to the occupa ation of Breslau and nearby terri tory, including Gels Castle, where former Crown Prince Frederick Will liam is now living, and eventually brought about the battle of Mollwitz in which Frederick the Great de- feated the Austrians.

THRILLING ADVENTURES IN
 INDIA ALL IN DAYS WORK
Famous Journalist Tells New Stories On Kitchener And Curzon And Crown Prince-How It Feels To Be In Bomb Plot And Ride Through Jungle On Runaway Ele- phant-Why Duelling In British Army Was Stopped

Editors Note; Up to the pres ent time India has been to most Americans rather unreal land, made familiar more through the genius of Rudyard KIpiing than by virtue of any actual affinity with American ideals and aspira- tions. In the past 10 years, how ever, India has been steadily ad- vancing on the path of self government. It's political situa- tion has developed 10 a point of worldwide concern, and the next decade promises to be the most interesting in the history of this great empire of the east.
 The following article, written especially for this paper by a man of over 80 years experience in India journalism, not only discloses many intimate facts long hidden in the channels of diplomatic secrecy but throws a vivid sidelight upon the social and political life of this newly awakened nation.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS ON
COLD PACK CANNING

Extension Service, Ag'r. College,
There are two steps in the cold
pack canning process.
I. Prepare and pack the uncooked
products in the container Tin or
glass jars.)
2. Cook the product in the con-
tainer, either in hot water bath,
steam cooker, or pressure cooker.
Following are the directions need
ed for canning:
1. Use only sound. fresh products.
2. Clean and prepare products.
3. "Scald" or "blanch" as directed
for the particular food being canned.
4. "Cold dip" Immediately after
blmching.
5. Pack product Immediately in the
containers.
6. Add hot water, syrup or season.
ing If the product requires any of the
three mentioned materials.
z. Wipe off the edge Of container.
8. Adjust rubber and cover on con-
tainer.
8. Partially seal jars and, in case
Of cans, such as sanitary cans, seal.
10. Place container in hot water
with a pressure cooker that has been
prepared.
ii. Cook materials length of time
required for sterilization.
IL. Remove from hot water bath
or pressure cooker and seal.

SCATTER COLUMBINE SEEDS
TO SAVE STATE FLOWER

Caroline NJ. Preston Of the Nature
Protection Committee, Colorado
Mountain Club. suggests the following
regarding our wild flowers which are
in danger Of becoming extinct, due to
being picked-or rather pulled up by
their roots:
Colorado has great wealth Of
wild flowers. about 5000 varieties in
all.
do not destroy them-let others
enjoy them This slogan Of the Col
orado Mountain Club may we'll be
heralded far and wide, for there is
great danger that many of the choicest
varieties may be destroyed. Already
the blue Columbine, our state flower,
which was once delight to passerby,
has largely disappeared except in the
places less frequented by flower hunt
ers. 1t would be fine thing to
gather the ripened seed Of this flower
and scatter it in aspen groves and
other places where il would naturally
grow, thus re-establishing it along
the trails and mountain highways.
Ladies' Slippers, Fairy Slippers,
Shooting Stars, and many others,
are less frequently found than form
erly.
Let us protect this rich heritage
with which Nature has endowed our
state.

PLAN CANNING BUDGET FOR
PROPERLY BALANCED DIET

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Before planning a canning budget
ask yourself: What constitutes good
nptrItion." With the available
knowledge which the housewife has
AT this present day, she realizes that
she should aim for fruit and green
vegetable in each days meals The
reason for this representation is that
most family dictaries are deficient in
minerals, vitamines and roughage.
In order to have fruits and veget-
ables for every day in the year, now
is the time to plan ahead and can the
products of garden and orchard.
knowing that fresh fruits are diff
cult 10 provide during the winter
months, because one may not have &C
cess TO a market, or the cost of the
product is more than the budget al
lows, each family should plan for u
well-stocked cellar.
The most logical time TO can meat
Is in the winter when butchering is
going on III plans are made then TO
can for the hot summer months the
housewife will have better distribu-
ton Of meat thru the year. This is
especially true of pork, for too fire.
quentiy no plans are made to have
pork represented in the diet during
the spring or summer months, and As
a result there is 4 large consumption
of pork during the winter months.
Over-eating OF pork is not conductive
to good health.
With knowledge OF the cold pack
method OF canning, one can provide
an adequate diet OF fruits, vegetables
and meats for the entire year. A
most praiseworthy thing for the
housewife to do is to make budget
of all food materials needed to be
canned and then TO follow her budget
as far as it is in her power to do SO,
in order that she provide the best diet
possible for the family. Without
planning a budget for canned pro-
ducts as goal and working toward
it, no housewife can more than trust
to luck, that her family will be prop
erly 'aourished.

THE OLD CHERRY TREE
tBy Ryley Ryck)

10y wye. hychD
passed cherry tree today
And Il rush Of memories came my way.
Again n boy seemed TO be
Seated high in the old cherry tree.
Overhead We're bits of blue
Where tween the leaves the sky
peeped thru,
And way below was the grassy green
With the criss-cross cherry limbs be-
tween.
Sometimes robin came to take
A bit of the crop he'd helped to make
By feeding the worms and bugs and
things
To the little robins in the spring.
And then if l sat still I'd see
The queerest sight in the old cherry
tree;
How Mr.. Robin, would tug and shake
Before the cherry stem would break!
And then sometimes n butterfly
All black and gold came drifting by.
And oh. the picture as wings he'd
spread
Black and gold on the cherry red.
High in my seat heaven seemed so
near,
/ swayed with the wind and knew no
fear;
Half understood, sensed the joy
Which comes alone to the heart Of a
boy.
