The Home Paper My father says the paper he reads ain't put up right; He finds a lot of fault, too, he does, perusin it all night; He says there ain d single thing in it worth to read, And that 1t doesn't print the kind of stuff the people need: He losses 1t aside and says it's strictly on the bum.
 But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come. He reads about the Weddin'> ; and he shorts like all get out; He reads the social dOin's with d most deriSlve shout.
 lie says they make the papers for the women folks alone; He'll read about the parties and he'll fume and fret anu groan; He says of information 1t doesn't have d crumD.
 But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come. He is always first to grab it and he reads 1t clean plumb through. He doesn't miss an item, or a want ad - that is true; He says they oon't know what we want, the darn newspaper guys;
 In goin to take day sometime and go and put 'em wise; Sometimes 1t seems as though they must be deaf and blind and dumb" <Blt you ought to h gar m holler sWhen the paper doesn't come!

The records of the legislature of
that year contain an interesting
reference TO this river disaster.
There was a contest in that legisla-
ture for the seat in the senate for
the fourteenth district, composed
then of practically the same coun-
ties as now. The certificate of cleo
tion was given to Edwin Corner, but
Cassius c.. Covey filed a contest and
1t was decided by the senate in favor
of Covey by a vote of thirty to two.
Covey, advised of the decision
which gave him the seat, started for
Columbus to assume it and unfortu-
nately took passage on this boat.
He was among the number killed, so
that he never really sat as the sen-
ator from the district.
The death of Covey made a spe-
cial election necessary and Villa m
Hawkins was cho1en to fill the va
cancy. Thus the fourteenth district
had three senators in that legisla-
ture in rapid succession.-J. H. GaEs

opposed Henry Ford's bid. She de-
clared the government should hold

crate it for the benefit of the people.
She charged that Ford's fertilizer

BURIED MAYA CITY.
WILL EB EXPLORED
Carnegie Institution Party to Ex-
cavate Chichen Itza, Founded
in Fifth Century.
IS ON YUCATAN PENINSULA
Home Of Lost Civilization Buried
by Vegetation. 4

Excavation Of the ancient Maya
city of Chichen Itza, religious capital
of the vanished Indian civilization
that had reached a high state of Gull
ture in the Yucatan Peninsula before
the dawn OF the Christian era, is to
be undertaken Immediately by the
Carnegie Institution of Washington.
Plans to inaugurate the archeo-
logical excavations last fall had to
be abandoned because of unsettled
conditions in Mexico. AS a result of
arrangements consummated during
the recent visit to Washington OF DR..
Manuel Gamio, director of the bureau
OF anthropology, the work is to be
pushed now under the direction of
DR.. Sylvanus G. Morley.
Trouble Halted Operators.
DR.. Morley is already in Yucca
tan. He had started for his field of
operations last fall when the political
disturbances broke out and the trip
was temporarily abandoned DR..
liza May 3. Associated with DR..
Morley are Earl II. Morris, archeolo-
gist in charge of excavations; Mon
roe AmSden and o. G. Ricke tson, jr.,
assistant archeologists.
AS result of preliminary expIor-
ations at Chichen liza made last
winter. it was decided to take up
first the excavation of "the group of
a thousand columns" a section of the
ancient city composed of great COL
of more than five acres in extent.
Smaller colonnades adjoin it, and the
inclosure is dotted with lofty pyri-
mids which were once surmounted by
elaborated decorated temples of
carved. stone.
Buried Under Vegetation.
Abandoned in 144S, Chichen liza is
today buried beneath a mantel of
luxuriant tropical vegetation Roots
have dug their way beneath once
richly carved foundations; trees have
forced their branches through ruined
roofs, and now complete desolation
civilization ruled. To tear away this
cloak of living green will present
one Of the hardest tasks of the Car
negie Institutions Investigators.
Chichen liza was founded in the
fifth century of the Christian era by
a tribe of the Maya race called the
liza, which long before had founded
other cities to the south.
The name of the capital means ''The
Mouths of the Wells OF the liza" and
is thus explained: Chi is maya for
mouth. chen" for wells. and liza is
the name of the tribe. The name was
because of two great natu-
raj wells, which remain there to this
day.
One OF the wells was used as
source for the water supply of the
city. The other was place of sacri-
flee, and into its forbidding depths
the most beautiful maidens of the
tribe were burned in times of great
drought as sacrifices to supposedly
offended rain deities Rich treasures
were poured in after them, and rare
bits of jewelry and jade still may be
found there by the Psychologists.
