Whence Corn Came

1t is generally believed that corn
il n native of America. All evil
dence points to it's having been Gull
tivated by the Indians long before
the discovery of this continent by
Columbus. who is said to have intro
duced corn into Spain. However.
representations resembling corn
plants found in On ancient Chinese
book have led to the belief that
corn may have been indigenous TO
Asia also. 1t is also claimed that
grains OF corn were found in ancient
ruins ut Athens. But If corn has
ever been known to the Asiatic and
Europeans. 1t had not been cult
waited for many centuries previous
to its introduction into Europe by
Columbus
The nature OF the corn" mem
toned in the Scriptures is only con-
jectural. 1t was probably some kind
of small grain In Europe various
kinds OF small grain. such as oats.
wheat and barley. are called corn,
and our corn is there always spoken
of as Indian corn or maize. Maize

ABOUT AUTO LICENSES

Many thousands of motor owners
are now receiving from the secretary
of state at Madison the metal license
plates for their cars. They tear open
the package, observe and comment on
the white-on-black plates and express
themselves on the change which puts
a letter in front of the number. Then
they plan to carry the plates to the
garage and place them on the car,
replacing the old plates. The paper
wrapping is cast away. There's where
thousands make the mistake Of throw
ing away their automobile license,
while carefully retaining the mere evi
#dence of the license, the plates. The
actual license is the address on that
package It's the card with the motor
owners name on it that peeked thru
the transparent space from a little
pocket in the side of the package
That card is really the permit to oper
ate the car, showing that the fee has
been paid to the state.
The law requires that this card be
carried along by the driver. Most peo-
Pile throw the card away without know
ing of its existence.
There are other uses attached to
this card. Supposing you go to Canada
The card is accepted as your identi-
fication, and saves the annoyance of
getting passports.
Suppose you sell the car, and want
to make sure that you will not be
summoned as the owner on account of
some accident in which the number
of the offending car has been taken by
police or others. The back of the card
contains form of declaration of sale
for you to fill out and mail to the sec
rotary of state.
Finally, the card will be convenient
a year hence, when you are making
out your application for your 1926 Ii
cense, for the card contains the neces-
sary engine number and other data.

POSTURE

Correct posture has more influence
on personal health than most people
realize. The individual who holds his
shoulders square, chest high and we'll
arched forward, stomach, chin and
neck perpendicular, is apt to be alert
vigorous, optimistic and energetic.
The slouchy individual with the stoop
sagging and head down, lacks energy
and initiative; is apt to be despon-
dent and makes poor impression.
The value of correct posture is no
where shown to better advantage than
in the army, where it's practice soon
transforms slouching, flabby recruits
into vigorous, erect soldiers.
The evils of bad posture are self
poisoning and poor CIRCULATION, lead
ing to dependency; GOODNESS of the
hands and feet, headache, chronic fat
igue or neurasthenia and constipation
No person practising a persistent bad
posture can enjoy Astounding health,
tn ruddy glow of vitality in the cheeks
the enjoyment of being fit.
Therefore, those who would main
tain their good looks, as well as those
who desire the highest degree of per-
sonal efficiency must pay due atten.
ton to correct posture.

Local Highs Surprised
Bi1na1nwOOd 10 to 5
PLAYED GREAT GAME AND TURN
ED IN WIN OVER HARDEST
OPPONENT

Last Friday night the Eagles play
ed their seventh winning game OF the
season against the Birnamwood high
The Birnamwood boys were reputed
to have first class team and judging
by the way they had cleaned up near
" every team they played they have
a good team, but the Eagles are bet
ter according to the score which was
8 to 10.
The first quarter was fast and close
and the score was to il favor of
Eagle River. BeIongy was knocked
out of the game just as the whistle
blew at the end of the quarter. AS
Morgan was ill and not with the boys
it meant that Eagle had to play two
subs during the second quarter. How
ever Sandy and Felt held their respec
tive positions down we'll and the
score was still in our favor at the
end of the half, Z to5.
Belongy limbered up during the in
PERMISSION period and even tho the
players and coach insisted that he
stay out, he said, ''Pll play on if it
kills me. we must beat these guys.
He went back in and he played a
real game. The Birnamwood center
Dickman was put out of the game
for smuggling Hoover by the referee:
Mr.. Kimball of NATION, who, by the
way, gave us an excellent deal. In
the last quarter Eagle began to pile
up their score and ON account of the
excellent guard work by Bent and
Felt Birnamwood did not raise their
score. The Birnamwood forwards
never got a basket off these two
guards throughout the entire game.
Eagle expected this game to be their
hardest game of the season and hav-
ing won they stand good chance to
win all the rest if they play real bas-
ket ball.
Three Lakes comes here this Fri
day night. They will also bring their
crack girls team so the game Friday
will include two preliminaries, the
girls game and the Freshmen vs. the
Eighth Grade Everybody come. The
school wants to make some money on
this game to apply on their motion
picture machine
