New Zealand's 81 per cent and Ger
many's 81, the figures run gradually
down to Americas so. And yet 40
years ago we were in the 80 per cent
class ourselves.
Forty years ago we were a relatively
homogeneous, political-minded people;
the rivalries Of the Civil War parties
were still intense; we were not yet dis
tracted by a surfeit Of other amuse-
ments, and we knew our neighbors. Now
all this is reversed And we still have
the preposterous long ballot which no

COLORFUL PAGEANT TO MARK CENTENARY
 OF SANTA FE TRAIL

COUNCIL GROVE, Kan, May 13. -{P)-One hundred rings have swell ed the sturdy trunk of the vener- able Council Oak, patriarch of the Council Grove, since that August day of 1925 when white and red chiefs gathered in it's shade to barter for trade route to Spanish New Mexi- co. In few short months, hundreds of pilgrims will be speeding over the twentieth century highways of the middle west to pay their respects to the old and the, new Council Grove birthplace of the Santa Fe trail.
 This is Council Groves centennial year. Full of pride in its dramatic life story, the little town is prepar- ing to re-enact in pageantry the scenes of a century ago. It's own historian, Mrs. Lalla Maloy Brigham, heads the civic committee which is planning the centenary program, and with the descendants of those h. dians who signed the treaty of 1925 with the United States commission CTS, the whole community will unite next August to celebrate its own birthday and that of the Santa Fe trail.
 President John Quincy Adams or. der. authorized by an act of Cong ress early in 1925, sent a handful of federal commissioners out to the wes- tern border of the states to secure a right of way to the unknown lands of the southwest. They left Missou- ri and pushed into virtually track less wastes. What was then the last outpost of western civilization is today the midpoint of the United States.
 Under the great oak, sole memen- to today of that great pow-wow, the government officers held council with the sachems of the Great and Little Osages, and then took back to Pres ident Adams the word that they had. on August 10, 1925, gained for the nation the right to pass over the Indian domain, over what became the Santa Fe trail, southwest across Kansas from Independence, Mo-, to the Spanish posts in New Mexico.

Dead Pets Preserved
 For Borrowing Owners

LOS ANGELES, May 13.-P)- Strange stories surround the pets which men and women bring into taxideluny studios here. Often the sorrowing owners want their dead cat, dog or bird companions stuf- fed and mounted.
 Weepingly a woman brought in a canary to be mounted and put in a glass case. "The little thing has slept with me, eaten with me and been my greatest comfort for years, ? she told the proprietor.
 Another customer, wishing to re- tain a life-like pose of his pedigred English bull dog, killd in an auto mobile accident, had the skin of his pet mounted in sleeping pose.
 A college chap had his brindle bull dog preserved. This dog was called Smoky" and. according to its own CT, could smoke tobacco and drink strong liquor.

 Recent fight reports of Young Stribling's activities, state that he has been using a little Ju-Jutsu, and Day. ies states he thinks he was up against something of this sort, as he cannot account for a very sore shoulder he received in his recent fight, and says the lameness came from no blow.
 Tt is new stuff to me-" he said, "and I must have received some of it while boxing with Cullen without knowing it.

unusual development may be cX-
pected in the near future" said A.

ager of the A., B. and A. railway,

a speculative land boom.
"Such boom would be most un
fortunate and would prove hind,
rance to the great development tina;
is just ahead of that section at the
present time" Mr.. Daniel declared.
