Property in this section would cost more, also, but the commission is continuing it's me- gotiations looking to the adoption of this plan and at the same time is fig turing the cost of carrying out Plans 2 and 3. fa'e =.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March b. Farmers of Alabama apparently intend to use fertilizers on a heavy scale this season, and to plant early, according to information from the state depart ment of agriculture. The fertilizer movement so far this spring is pro- gressing at more rapid rate than even last year, according to officials of the department, in spite of the fact that 1923 witnessed an unusually heavy con- sumption of fertilizer in Alabama.
 Book agents who are trying to sell the state of Alabama text books for it's public schools display an activity and persistence fully. up to the wide spread reputation of the retail book men who thrive upon housewives, and tired business men. The state board of education was in session today at the capitol, considering the matter of text book adoption, and as usual the lob bies were filled by hopeful represen- tatives of leading book concerns.
 These wholesale book agents are an optimistic and amiable lot, possessed of remarkable patience and endurance, and if the youth of the state would only display fraction of the zeal in studying the text books which is shown by the salesmen in getting the state board to adopt them, education would go forward with even greater~strides in the state.

GRAVE FOUND
Of FAMOUS
INDIAN
Chief Nan-Puh Said to Have
Had Feet 10 Inches Long
s Inches Wide.

PoCATELLo, Idaho. oct. 4.-An
ancient Indian grave believed to
hold the remains Of Chief Nam-puh.
the Piute Indian leader, after whom
the city OF Nampa, Idaho. was
named. has been found by r. w.
Limbert, whose explorations In the
country now known as the Craters
OF the Moon national monument,
contributed greatly to national rec.
cgnition Of that territory.
While hunting In the desert close
to the Nevada line recently, Mr..
Limbert said he found fiat rock
upon which there was carved an
arrow, FOLLOWING the general direc-
ton Of the arrow, he found other
rocks with similar carvings. The
end Of the line Of arrow rocks was
q huge mound Of stones, with q
fiat one resting horizontally on top.
The flat rock was engraved crude.
" with the figure Of an Indian with
abnormally la. 70 feet and hands;
around the figure was q circle, the
death sign Of the Piutes.
The dead chief Is reputed to have
had enormously large feet and hands
and It Is q tradition that one Of his
feet was six inches wide ana eight
cen inches long. The attempt of
the carver to show the large hands
and feet leads Limbert to believe
that It Is the grave Of Chief Nam
pub.
