PLYMOUTH ROCK is

Plymouth, Mass.-Some person or

mouth rock and they hit it, too, for
there are white scars on the face Of
the panel which bears the date"1620."
Samuel Rice, who is the custodian Of
the rock, the portico over it and the
surrounding premises of the

He said the gravelly beach fill
around the rock which permits only
the upper third Of the stone to be

glass, and he knew that six bottles
had been used in the bo~mbardment.
for he picked up the bottoms and

have been more. judging by the pieces

Treasures From Country Homes
Now on Market

London.-Sir Rider Haggard writes
to the Times deploring that the roofs
of old English country mansions are
rotting and falling in because the
owners cannot afford to keep them up
and there is no one to buy them, and
that with them disappears the old
English country life of which they
were the center.
The contents of these old houses
are pouring into the market as they
have never done before, and popular
belief is that most of these valuable
are bought in by London art dealers
for their American customers.
Even some of the old families which
are known to be immensely rich, &C
cording TO English values, are taking
advantage of the high tide of art
prices. For example, for sale soon at
the famous Christie auction rooms is
a group of old masters of world repu-
tation put up by the duke of West
minister, which includes three pictures
by Rubens, forming part Of a series
said to have been painted by order of
Philip w. to decorate a Carmelite
convent; also a Virgin and Child by
Vandyke.
Many Other Treasures Sold
Other lots offered at Christie's,
which combine the value Of patrician
associations with art are:
"Old English furniture and needle
work, the property of her grace, the

Sheep Feeding Econ
omically Safe and
Sound Side Line

That sheep feeding is a sound, pay
ing sideline to regular farming in the
Poudre valley is brought out in a
study of twenty farms made during
the last two seasons made by the De
partment of Economics and Sociology
Of Colorado Agricultural College, in
cooperation with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture A preliminary
report on this study is available on
application to the Economies Depart
ment at Fort Collins.
The study was made by r. T. Burd-
ick and Edna Bigelow, the farms
being located in Weld county Fol
lowing is from the report:
sheep feeding as conducted in the
Poudre valley may be considered as
a supplement to the regular farming
operations. 1t uses some idle win
ter time. 1t makes it possible to
/ grow roughage which keeps the soil
in better tilth. It furnishes manure
to return to the soil and aid in build

these indirect benefits. the records

used at market rates and then leave
in the neighborhood of dollar per

Price fluctuations introduce consider.

Darently no more than is present in
other farm enterprises"
1t is brought out that the costs of
lamb feeding, other than feed, were
practically cents per pound Of gain
in 1928 and practically cents per
pound Of gain in 1922, so that the
feed cost is only about two-thirds of
the cost OF the entire feeding opera.

All HA, A SCENARIO!
MOUNTED BAGS SQUAW
RETURNING TO CIVILIZATION
WITH PRISONER WHO TOR
TURED INDIAN TO DEATH.

VANCOUVER, B. ca weird tale
of witchcraft, torture and murder came
over the wires from far away Tele-
graph Creek today
1t was a message from a Royal Ca
madam Mounted Policeman announc-
ing that, after treRking for year
through northern British Columbia,
he was returning with an old Indian
squaw and four accomplces who kill
ed a young brave slowly because his
''sorcery" brought the wrath OF the
evil spirits upon his tgibesmen.
Atol Moassin was the, victims name.
The name of the squaw was not i'll
the policeman's dispatch.
A year ago, said the message, hunt
ing suddenly became poor among the
indians of the northern wilderness. A
long, cold winter followed, and star
walton, disease and death cut swaths
in the ranks of the tribesmen.
The superstition OF their religion
taught the Indians that some one, a
sorcerer and maker of bad medicine,
whose witcheries invoked the wrath
OF evil spirits, had brought calamity
upon the tribe. Suspicion fell on Atol.
Led by the old squaw tribesmen
invaded his shack at night found him
to be mumbling strange words over
his tiny wood fire, and laid hands up
on him. They tied him to sapling,
head downward, and let him hang for
days, slowly dying.
AT length the old woman grew inn
patient that Ato1 died so slowly, &C
cordng to the policeman's telegraphed
account, and so she cut his throat with
a hunting knife.
Over the trails from camp to camp
the story filtered through to motAted
police, and one Of its members set
forth to bring the slayers to justice.

10000 is TOLL OF
CARELESS DRIVERS
SLAUGHTER AUTO PASSEN-
GERS AND DERAIL 2o TRAINS.
LOSS is $5O,OOO,0OO.

Based on an interstate commerce
commission estimate, an actuary be-
fore the national Association of Rail-
road and Utilities Commissioners in
Chicago says that $500 people will be
killed and 5000 injured at highway
railroad crossings during 1924 Five
out OF every six crossing casualties
involve motor cars, and fully ninety
per cent OF these are due to careless
driving; sixty-three per cent occurred
where the view was unobstructed.
Not Only did careless drivers slaugh-
ter this army of auto passengers, but
twenty-nine trains were derailed and
125 people we're killed or wounded
on the trains by these ninety-five per
cent preventable accidents.
Setting a value of $4,000 on each
life and possibly one-third as much
for each injury, the financial loss
runs well above $50000,000 annually;
almost enough to have run the whole
revolutionary war.
The elimination of grade crossings
is quite generally proposed to stop
such accidents. To do away with all
the dangerous grade crossings in the
country-and every grade crossing is
dangerous to careless drivers-would
require an estimated 100000, 900, a
sum greater than the total value of the
railroads, and clearly impossible for
the railroads to raise

WEED GROWERS TO ASK
REPEAL OF TOBACCO TAX
Fight on Georgia Levy Will Be Made
In Next Legislature.

Georgia cigar and cigarette smokers
are being catalogued by the manu-
facturers of Florida, Tennessee and
other states where they have no taxes
on these products, according to trav-
cling statesmen.
l.. f. Morehead, tobacco representa-
tive of Binghampton, predicts that the
tobacco growers i'll Georgia, assisted
by dealers, are going to put up one OF
the biggest fights for the removal OF
the tobacco taxes ever recorded, when
the legislature meets next summer.
Makes Demand Less.
The state and federal taxes on five
cent cigars amount to about 50 per
thousand in Georgia, that is to say 81
for the federal government and SIS for
the state.
Through the operation of the law
of supply and demand the imposition
of taxes on the smokers pet brands
makes him smoke less, and this caus-
es decreased demand for the fine to-
bacco being grown down in southwest
Georgia, Mr. Morehead indicated.
