POPULATION is INCREASING

Villas county's dairy COW population
is increasing according to figures an
nounced by the Blue Valley Creamery
Institute. The statement covers an
area embracing approximately one.
eighth of the state in this section, and
is believed to hold true for the county
proper
A 9.3 per cent gain in the number
of dairy cows two years old and over
is noted for the district over the pre-,
ceding year, while the increase for
the state as whole was 4.3 per cent
as compared with 1923 The entire
United States shows an increase
amounting to 6 per cent, government
figures show.
The number of heifers to 2 years
old as compared to the total number
of COWS in this district seem to be
above the average, indicating the in
tention to bring more young stock in
to milk in the near future.
In citing these figures the Institute
calls attention to the fact that the
United States needs $4,000 more
cows every year if production is to
keep step with the normal growth of
demand for dairy products. There are
1,412,O0O more mouths to be fed in the
United States with every passing year
and with the increased consumption
of dairy products per capita, this add
ed number to the nations herd will
barely suffice to meet the increased
demand.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-ROot

judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonlshing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
In bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this er.-Advertisement.

Taken From Skeletons Dis
covered In New Mexico.

New York.-There are few real
pick-ax Psychologists among women,
but Mrs Earl Morris has dug for pre-
historic remains with her own small
hands and has ridden alone into dark,
uneXplored canyons, seeking signs of
remote occupation. With her husband,
who is an archaeological explorer for
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, she recently returned from New
Mexico to New York, bringing trophies
which students of Americas ancient
history will admire when they are
placed upon exhibition.
"They were really my find, weren't
they, Earl?" Mrs. Morris demands,
pointing to two fine turquoise pend
ants which are one of the expeditions
proudest and most significant discov-
cries. Mrs. Morris speciality, how
ever, is basket maker sandals, and to
the study of these she is now giving
most of her time, says the Kansas
City Star.
The museums excavations at the
Aztec ruin, New Mexico, are being
conducted chiefly with a view to OBJ
tanning light upon the three periods
called, respectively, the basket makers,
the post basket makers and the pre-
Pueblo.

Eugene, Ore.-Rev. William Biard

the state of Oregon. OF one part of his
rounds through the eastern end of the
state, he remarked:
"Sixty-fve miles without seeing a
ranch house or a dog to bark at me-"
In this district there are 10000
square miles given to cattle ranges.
Doctor Biard works under the synod Of
the Presbyterian church.

Infant Mortality Heavy

In some districts of the Belgian Con-
go there are more deaths than births
and in some places in this territory
one-half of the children die before they
reach the age of two. Reports indi-
eating conditions such as these have
led the national children's bureau Of
Belgium to appropriate, for the first
time, 50,0O0e francs for a campaign
against infant mortality in the Congo.

Woman Finds Gems
5000 Years Old

Although the basket makers, who
| flOurished 1000 or more years ago,
and antedated the cliff dwellers by
several thousand years, had not
learned to fashion pottery, yet they
| displayed fine craftsmanship in the
manufacture of baskets and sandals
woven of yucca fiber and ornamented
with Intricate and beautiful designs
whose cOlors have survived the GEN.
turtles.
|. 1t was one hot day last November,
when all were digging in dust masks,
that her spade opened the site which
was to yield those turquoise pend
ants. The expedition was feeling
rather discouraged. They had found
no valuable skulls. And psychologists
are not happy unless they find skulls.
Finger-bones don't get them much
forrarder."
I'm going to try once more" de-
clared Mrs Morris, and taking her
shovel she went down the slope to a
spot which the other scientific dig
gers had abandoned. Soon the earth
crumbled. Thrusting in her hand she
touched bones. "And you cannot i'm
agine the thrill of discovering that
there were not one but three skulls !"
She had come upon prehistoric
cemetery, but a great fire at some
period had destroyed baskets and tex
tiles, leaving only bones. The Canyon
del Muerto, where this exciting event
took place, is a hundred miles from
railroad, in the northeastern corner
of New Mexico.
Turquoise 5000 Years Old.
Under the devastated cemetery lay
two skeletons, upon their breasts the
turquoise ornaments. These are the
earliest examples of turquoise mosaic
that have been found in our South
west, and are at least 5000 years old.
They were the burial adornments of
an old woman and young man Of
the basket maker people, and are
made of bits of turquoise and abalone
set in wood.
"You can see from remains which
that dry climate has almost mummi-

bobbed hair" Mrs. Morris points out.
Between her archaeological excava-
tions she explored many dark side can
yons leading off from the main can
yon, and in some of these, ancient
paintings were still quite fresh upon
the walls.
Mrs. Morris was instructed at the
American School for Prehistoric Study
in Paris. The students every summer
,, continue Investigations at the La
Ouina station in southern France,
| where fossils from $4,000 to 100000
wears old are frequently unearthed.
"Some of those caves in the Pyre-
nees are two miles long. They open
into the hillside and slope down into
darkness. The walls are covered with
beautiful paintings and carvings. You
have to wriggle for long distances on
your stomach to explore thos. cav
erns, but we thought nothing of rhat,"
said Mrs. Morris, who was therefore
not dismayed by the caves of Dead
Mans canyon.

Young in Its Mouth

Saranac Lake, N. Y.-Edward

Beaver river section, asserts
that deer as well as bear will
take up their young in their
mouths, when they believe the
little ones are threatened.
The guide recently came upon
a doe with two fawns but a few
hours old. One fawn was weak
and could not walk. Evidently
in great fear that the guide
would harm the helpless fawn.

FISHING REGULATIONS
 COPPER RIVER FLATS
 BEEN PROMULGATED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The De- partment of Commerce today pub- lished new regulations covering the salmon fishing industry in Alaska. The regulations are the result of a visit to the northern territory last summer by Commissioner of Fish cries Henry OMalley and recon mendations made by him to the Al aska advisory board on fisheries ap- pointed by Secretary Hoover and headed by Governor Scott c. Bone. MT. O'Malley declared that the new regulations will govern the fishing in the territory for the year 1925. He stated that unless urgent neces- sity intervened there would be no changes or notifications until the end of next season. The twelve re- stricted areas in which salmon fish ing was forbidden in western Alas ka during 1924 are continued. To these have been added fifty-five areas of greater or less size in Southeast ern Alaska
 Fishing with stake nets on the delta of the Copper River has been absolutely prohibited. In the Prince William Sound, Cross Sound and Icy Bay, districts, fishing traps are re-
