Skeleton 5000
Years Old
Found in Sweden

Stockholm, Feb. 1-(Mail)-The
well-preserved skeleton of a man who
lived in the stone age. 5000 years ago.
has Just been found on the west coast
or sweden by commission of
afchaeologists which has been comb
ing the countryside for ancient relics
TO be placed on exhibition at the ex-
position in Gotlienburg this summer.
The Swedish experts, fifteen in
number. have been at work for about
seven years. and have succeeded in
collecting 10000 relics OF antiuuity.
The results of their labor has been
an accumulation of proofs that the
North Sea coast of Sweden was in
habited as carly as 5000 B. 6.
The stone age skeleton, which is
now being mounted in Gothenburg,
was found during excavations at
kungshacka. a few miles south of
this city. The ancient site of Kungs-
bacaka has been chosen by some
critics as the probable seat Of
Bcowulf. the hero of the oldest epic
poem in English literature: hut

Dear Sir
Considerable controversy seems to
; have arisen over the outcome of the
ski -kjoring race conducted as Il part
| of the Augusta Winter Carnival.
been accused of being uusust. 1t
has been claimed that the cup was
| awarded to u local boy.
AS matter of fact we have taken
| pains to review the entire situation
with the Judges in charge in order
to establish the business of their de-
cision, and find that the race was
run in two heats, the second OF
| which was the final heat. We find
| that the prize cup was Won by l..
G.. Hay of the University of Maine,
who is not a local boy. although the
| horse used by the victorious con-
testant was Il local horse, owned by
i Harlow Howard, a horse of eNcep-
tlonal speed and easy of control and
particularly adapted to kjorinG.
| Dr. Warren Sanborn of this city for
| merly owned the horse.
| Shi-kj oring, however, is not in
, tended primarily as Il race between
horses. The race is credited to the
| men. who. are pitted against each
I other in a test of courage and dar-
, ing as well as skiing ability and
horScmanship.
| The original plans called for eight
| entries, four in each heat, two trial
| heats being run off first with two
contestants selected from each for
the finals. No contestant would have
to run in more than two heats, the
! trial heat and the final heat. Find
, ing, however. that only five persons
| had entered the race, it was decided
| and so announced that there would
be an elimination heat between four
| of the contestants. and final heat
| between the three winners Of this
| heat and the fifth man who had not
entered the elimination heat. The
race was run this way and before
the last heat started Mr.. Kinsman,
the starter. announced that the heat
, was a final heat. This heat, which
was won by Lloyd G. Hay decided
| the race.
! 1t has been the policy of the car
nival committee to encourage out-of
! town people to enter the various car
nival events. We do not care who
wins. The greater the number of
cups won by outside people, the
better established our claim to state
wide winter sports promotion. Au-
Susta is ambitious to lead Maine in
| winter sports. We would hardly
permit a fifteen o. twenty-five dol
| lar cup to stand between us and that
| ambition.
! In my judgment. after careful in
vestiGation, | believe the ski-kjoring
race to have been fairly conducted
and that the cup should be awarded
, to l.. G. Hay of the University of
Maine. I shall so certify to the
| Board of Directors of the Augusta
! Chamber of Commerce.

LET'S BE PRACTICAL ABOUT
THIS

| Is the Maine Agricultural Expert
ment Station properly functioning. a
useful institution to the agricultural
interests of the state? If not what
! is lacking? And will 1t not be in
the interests of real economy to sup
ply what may be lacked?
Experiment stations in other states
are regarded as essential to the well
being of agricultural interests in
states, as evidenced by large and
! increased appropriations at the very
time Maine was failing in giving
adequate support. In New York
State s1,3O0,O0O is expended annual
ly at the two experiment stations,
and New York state is shipping into
New England a good share of the
eighty per cent of agricultural
products which New England doesn't
| but most of which she should grow.
! Further evidence is found in the de-
mand there was for the Maine sta
tons bulletins when those were is
sued. Aside from those sent to par
ties on the regular mailing list,
there were for the year ending Dec.
/, 1922, 1881 publications sent out in
! this State to those not on the list
who applied for them, to say nothing
of other state to PARKWAY Washing
! ton. This is simply one phase of
| the appreciation of the Stations
work, but the fact that over 100000
copies of bulletins were sent out
from Orono last year into every part
! of this country save Alaska is not
one to be overlooked nor should this
work be discontinued without cause.
1t is said that if all the potato
growers had taken the advice of eN-
perts in these bulletins they would
have an additional income of three
! to four million dollars. If this be so,
or even approximately so, it Ger
tanly can't be wise economy for the
; state to withhold sustenance for the
work, especially as the sum asked
for is not large as appropriations go.
$4,000 for 1924 and $4,000 for
1924-25, in addition to the present ap-
propriations to the two experiment
farms. Practical men. acquainted
roth with the needs of agriculture
and with the conditions, have agreed
upon this as the least required.
/ Whose judgment may better be relied
upon?
The use of the Federal funds is
restricted; these are not intended to
provide the necessary land and
! buildings and maintenance. Not one
cent of State money is now being
used to pay the salaries of the men,
bcrs of the staff who are primarily
engaged in investigation work, and
the general overhead expense of that
part of the investigation work car
ricd on in the laboratories at OronO
is practically entirely met by Federal
+, funds.
! The cause for dropping every bit
of field work that could be dropped
on the two farms, the failure to re-
place members of the staff who re-
signed, is the same as that which is
causing us all pcrplexity, the failure
of dollar to purchase what we once
were accustomed to purchase with it
