Yesterday morning when at the close
Of characteristic speech by Judge.
Major Luther Burch, Mr.. Knox
mounted the platform, asked for
few minutes in which to answer at
tacks made on him and in whirl-
wind address took the hide off OF his
perfumed opponent and hung it up TO

been craving joint debate. Yester'

Of the worst drubbings which even

Mr.. Burch started off day full OF
political speaking by addressing the
huge crowd of picknickers AT 1880
am, making his usual campaign
speech. Toward its close in discuss
ing the subject of trusts and combines
the speaker said that while he was
not calling names, there was a candl-
date in the race, the first letter OF
whose name was Rush Knox; that
this gentleman Dragged that he had
been district attorney Of the Third
District for 10 years and was merely
seeking promotion; and that Mr.. Knox
had never brought suit against the oil
mills ia his district which formed an
iniquitous trust and combine.
Rush Knox Replies.
Rush Knox, who was in the audi
ence, requested time to answer,
mounted the platform and in 2
whirlwind address riddled his oppon-
ent by declaring:
"There is today not a single Oil mill
in nv district. Mr.. Burch has &C.
cused me Of neglecting my duty be-
cause my brother was manager OF an
oil mill in my district. That little
mill, organized by some farmers, IS

crowd when he got wound up awhile
ago" continued Mr.. Knox. Il believe
he knew there were no mills within
my jurisdiction when he spoke"
"Mr. Knox, after declaring that he

bales Of cotton last year, pictured the

ANCIENT ARROW
HEADS FOUND
IN D. c.
Discovery on Georgetown
Heights Estate Locates Old
Home of PoWhatans.

Ethnologists Of Washington today
focused their attention on count
less carved-from-stone arrowheads
found on the estate of Reginald S.
Huidekoper, a Washington lawyer,
in the Georgetown Heights subdivi-
sion Of Washington, in an effort to
gain more knowledge of the inhab-
itants of that neighborhood before
the arrival of the whites.
While missiles similar to these
have been found in all sections OF
the city where construction was I'M
der way, the Huidekoper grounds are
believed to be the most prolific
source here, indicating, one ethnolo-
gist said, that a permanent colony OF
Red Men had lived there.
Discovered by Manager.
The discovery of the abundance
of the arrowheads was made a few
days ago by Charles A. Jones. man
ager of the Shannon & Luchs Real
Estate Company, which is develop

scum.
At the time of the finding, James
The Washington times., 1923-09-11

L. Richards, a student Of Indian
life, was with Mr.. Jones. He de-
clared that the arrowheads appear
ed in all stages of development, con-
Guiding from this that it might at
one time have been the place of their
manufacture.
Mr.. Richards pointed out that
the arrowheads were made from
quartz, quartzite, and a black stone.
The first two, which are white and
partially transparent stones, were
obtained in Georgetown Heights, it
is believed: but the other stone was
probably secured from other sec.
lions of the country.
According to records handed down
to modern ethnologists, the heads
were carved from the stone with a
knife made of deer's horn. AS a re-
suit of the crude methGds Of manu-
facture, one piece consumed nearly
a days work.
Records indicate that a tribe of
Indians lived on George
town Heights when the first white
settlers arrived.
The Huidekoper estate is situated
about five blocks from Georgetown
University. It came into the pos
session Of Attorney Huidekoper's
father in 1887.

EXPERT ADVISES
FARMERS To
DIVERSITY
Or. Taylor Sees Need for Mixed
Crops in Wheat Growing
Sections.
BY TOM EVERRITT.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

The perpiexing distress the wheat
growers of the United States find
themselves in is causing high Gov
eminent officials to cudgel their
brains to find an economic prescrtp-
ton that will bring the wheat grow
ers back from insolvency to solvency,
as shown by a statement by DIR.
Henry c.. Taylor, chief Of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Crop diversificatjon evidently has
occupied considerable Of DR.. Tay-
lor's thought, for in his statement he
says:
"What else can be produced be-
sides wheat that will pay as well or
better than wheat, is the question to
which the wheat grower must give
first attention. To do this he must
forecast the probable returns to be
secured from the various crops which
he can produce.
''In casting about, the farmer will
naturally compare the prospective
profits OF those land uses which were
displaced by wheat.
I'm each case, it is q question Of
alternatives. Each farmer should
carefully review the possibilities
which lie before him. Undoubtedly,
diversification will result from care
full thought on this subject in many
Of those States where the surpl Is
wheat acreage is found.
"On the other hand" he continues,
'it may be that wheat, even at the
present prices, is more profitable
than any alternative crop in those
regions where It is grown as part
Of a diversified system of farming.
Taylor gives the wheat farmer this
advice:
Every farmer who is not able to
make a living where he is, should
review carefully his own possibih-
ties, but should not make a blind
move into other types OF farming, or
into city occupations. There are.
however, thousands Of farmers who
are skilled in the industries Of the
city, who will doubtless turn to their
former occupations for relief. Also.
there are doubtless thousands of
farmers who turned from corn and
oats to wheat during the war who
will now find 1t profitable to go back
to their pre-war basis Of crop selec-
ton"
