Kensington Rune Stone, one of the
oldest documents of American his
tory, over which scientists of two
continents debated as to its genuine
ness more than 20 years ago, now has
a permanent home on the farm of II.
Il. Holland, author near here.
Several societies and eminent au-
thorities have clasSed the stone as
authentic as to discovery and con-
text, and say it proves to them that
there were white people exploring
the interior of America as early as
1862
Inscribed by Norxemea.
The kensinston Rune Stone, so
called because of it's discovery on the
farm of Olaf Gilman, near kensing-
ton, Mimi, when found was encircled
by the roots of a tree, and appeared
10 be very ancient in character 1t
carried a date more than 500 years in
the past. The assumption of scien-
lists is that the stone was inscribed d
by early Norsemen who landed in
America in search of fellow country
men.
How the stone came to find rest
ing place in Minnesota has been a
but the generally accepted theory is
that it was carried down in a glacial
drift from the region of Hudson Bay.
Words ON Stone.
Mr.. Holland has translated the
Funic inscription on the stone as
follows:
Eight Goths and twenty-five
Norsemen on (an) exploration jour
ney from Vinland through the west
ern regions. We had camp by two
skerries one days journey north from
this stone. We were (out) and fshed
one day. When we came home (we)
found ten men red with blood and
dead. Ave Maria! Save (us) from
evil!
"CWe) have ten of our party by
the sea to look after Cor for) our
vessels II days journey from this
island. Year 1852"
The ten men mentioned in the text
are supposed to have been members
of the exploration party left to watch
the camp while the rest went fishing,
as stated.
Presence OF Priest.
In theory, the story of the exp!ora-
tion party's presence in America is
that an expedition was fitted out in
Norway in 1855 by Paul knutson in
relief of colonists in Greenland 1t
is believed that Knutson eventually
reached Ninland, and, not finding
those of whom he came in search

A man would always rather give a woman
check or kiss than REASON, anyway: Not
that he hasn't GOT reason, Of course-if he can
only think what it is. But q reason, like an ulti-
matum, is so apt to prove boomerang.
But woman always wants to know WHY!
Before marriage she wants to know why he
doesn't tell her that he loves her when she can

She wants to know WHY he wants to kiss her
and afterward she wants to know why he doesn't
want to KEEP ON kissing her!

Presidents Views as to Porto Rico

the people rather than appointed by
the President Mr.. Coolidge, it is said,
believes that fundamental change of
this kind would help largely to remove
the political difficulties that arise from
time to time in Porto Rico.
Governor Towser of Porto Rico, in
his first message to the legislature, es-
timated the income for the coming
year at between $11,OOO,OO0 and $12,-
100000, and he said he did not deem it
wise to make drastic revenue laws for
providing increased revenues.
With an assessed property valuation
of more than 00,000,000, the COVER
nor pointed out that the bonded indebt-
edness Of the island is limited to $780,
100000 and that the present indebted
ness is only $11,O00,O0O
Among the projects proposed, and to
be paid for by the bond sale, are the
completion of the capital building; the
building of new insane asylum, a
new penitentiary, and school for the
blind; the development of community
centers through the cooperation of the
departments of education and agricul-
ture by building in designated districts
model consolidated rural schools near
model farms, and the strengthening of
the University of Porto Rico by means
of more buildings, equipment and fac
ulty.
