There were many other. Acorn-
shocks in the field and they all

points like Indian wig-wams. But
they weren't alike at all-that 's'
Mister Dodgers house was different
from the others, as the Twins were
to find out.
Once inside the narrow doorway

large room in which they FOUND
themselves was lighted> up with
lack o'lanterns and decorated with
autumn leaves Of every color.

Shaft atPaWnee
Rock Marks Route
OF Pioneers in West

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 27.-In their
campaign to place permanent mark
ers along the routes of the pioneer
wagon trains through Kansas, the
women's organizations of Kansas
seleeted az the site for the most Ella
borate monument of all, the historic
Pawnee Rock. 1t was here, histor-
ians declare, that the most bloody
battles with Indians occurred in the
old days Of the Santa Fe Trail, which
passes within quarter of mile
of the rocky eminence.
On the crest Of the outcropping of
reddish, volcanic rock which served
as a natural lookout for the Pawnee
Indians in their last stand against
the whites invasion, granite shaft,
40 feet in height, has been erected.
In bold lettering at the base are the
words "Pawnee Rock" and just ABOVE
is an immense buffalo head, en-
graved in relief on the shaft, and
the inscriptions:
"In honor Of the brave men and
women, who passing over the Old
Santa Fe Trail endured the hand
ships Of frontier life and blazed the
path Of civilization for posterity."
It was through the efforts OF <wo-
mems organizations that tract of
about five acres was donated to the
state Is q park by Benjamin p. I'm
run, in 1908. Year by year these or
CARNATIONS have improved the site
with granite gateway and WALL, an
observation tower. the mounting of
two pieces Of heavy field artillery
and flag pole, and finally the gran
ite shaft.

carnations scores Of granite mark
ers have been placed along the ORR
ginal routes Of the Santa We, the

HARDLY CREDIBLE

The N. D. Commissioner of Immi-

speeches in the eastern states, de-

Heard at Joint Congress
Hearings January IA.

Amendments to the civil service
retirement bill will be submitted at
Joint hearings of the House and Sen
ate Civil Service Committees begin

changes in retirement ages. The
maximum in the present law is

annuity is $3.50, and under the pro-
posed amendment 1t would be in
creased to approximately 500.

ment would reduce it to sixty five

hitting q Federal employe to retire

amendments provided the funds Gre
ated under the law are sufficient to
meet the proposed increases.

early date, according to Stanfield's
plan.
