FIND REMAINS OF
ANCIENT AMERICAN
Believed to Be Ancestor Of
Indian.

GaIena, ul.-The skeleton of pre-
historic American, an ancestor Of the
Indians, has been uncovered In q
mound near here, by a University Of
Chicago anthropological expedition.
The bones, those Of a man about
thirty, were In a fiexed position, the
arms folded across the breast and the
knees drawn up in closest approach
to the chin. The find was made about
three feet below the surface, along a
1,100-foot ridge of mound on a farm,
where operations have been carried on
for two weeks. The scientists are UNI
der the direction of Prof Fay Cooper
Cole. Near by were portions of two
other skeletons, while bundles of
bones also have been found, those Of
a woman, child and dog.
It was thought at first that the ridge
might have been fertilization, after
the forts of ancient type, but inyesti-
cation revealed 1t as burial place.
Below the ridge, In little oak-shaded
plateau, was believed to have been the
site Of the primitive community.
Illinois, according to Prof. Cole, is
the key state, anthropologically speak
ing, in the picture of prehistoric Amer
lea which science is trying to depict.
Efforts are being made to find out
what sort of people produced the In
dian tribes that the white man found
in this locality, and whether the civil
nzation is linked with the great
mounds of Ohio and lower Missis-
sippi.
A large collection of relics already
has been gathered in the Galena area
by amateurs, and now it is planned to
survey the district and open the
mounds thoroughly. In one locality
alone there are 142 mounds, all un-
touched. Others have been looted.
Articles found included arrow heads,
hammer heads, pottery, copper beads,
bear-tooth necklaces, pipes and cop
per ornaments.
Skeletons uncovered will be inclOsed
in plaster and sent to the university
laboratory for measuring, and then
will go to the Field museum and other
institutions. The type of civilization
revealed is not high in the opinion of
Professor Cole, who said that no writ
ing has been uncovered in mounds In
any part of the United States.

Ape Descended From Man,
Says German Savant

Berlin The ape is descended from
man and not man from the ape, ac-
cording to Prof Max Westenhofer,
custodian of the Pathological mu-
scum Of the Berlin university. He
points out that chimpanzee cubs re-
semble human beings much more than
do their parents. He says that GER
tain inner organs give evidence that
mans ancestors lived for a time in
water. These peculiar Characters
tics are missing in apes, which, he de-
'clares, Shows that the ape repre-
sents the subsequent development
and proves that man is the older
form of mammal" Professor Weston
hofer calculated this theory before
the anthropological congress now In
session at Salzburg.

Professor Matthews advises
poultry farmers either to give

Farmers Union in Florida, en-
May /, expressed the admins
tratlon's views when he. declared
that the central problem in this
surplus question to be one of
merchandising" 1t is the con-
tention of this administration
spokesman that Legislative ac-
ton should aim to supplement
the efforts of farmer-controlled
agencies and should enlarge their
facilities by every possible and
proper provision of credit, stand
ardization, warehousing, an d
other facilities which will pro-
mote orderly distribution"
The administration is support
ing the so-called Tincher Bill
which provides a revolving fund
of $100,000,OO0 which would be
loaned on liberal terms to coop
erative marketing organizations
to assist them in the orderly
merchandising of their products.
The farm organizations are not
in agreement on the provisions
of this bill.
The busiest man in Washington
today, is Senator Charles Curtis,
of Kansas, the Republican leader
in the Senate. With the know
ledge that the hundreds of bills
now awaiting action on the Sen
ate calendar, sponsors of the
various measures are consulting
the Republican leader with the
hope of enlisting his support in
expediting their bills. In adj
dition to selecting important
items for the consideration of the
senate, Senator Curtis is obliged
to remain in the Senate chamber,
or within call, during the session
in order that his forces can be
mustered to meet emergencies.
1t is votes not alibis, that makes
a political leader.
The Senate has been enlivened
of late by the contributions of
masters in .satirical comments,
such as Senator Bruce, Jim Reed
of Missouri, and Blease, of South
Carolina bringing up the heavy

expressions of opinions on cur

Washington, May 5.-Develop-
ment of factions in the Congress
has been the interesting develop
ment of the week. It is disturb
ing to party leaders and cam
paign managers but the situation
is apparently out of their hands
for a few weeks.
There is difference of opinion
as to agricultural relief through
legislation. Considerable bitter
ness has developed between advo-
Gates of farm relief. The result
is chaotic condition which will
not be settled without leaving its
mark upon political organizations.
There are some who profess to
note in the current controversy a
revival of the farm bloc" which
created such a Juror a year or
two ago. The two major parties
have been working so closely to-
gether during the present session
that it is not difficult matter
to build up a bipartisan organ
ization based upon the common
interest as to agricultural well
fare. In the bloc" system party
lines disappear.
Political observers here say
that the apparent rebellion
against the attitude of the adj
ministration by the small group
of senators and congressman is
not to be taken too seriously. 1t
is said that much of the agitation
for farm relief at this session is
sponsored by the knowledge that
the President would veto any bill
that he believed unwise.
There is no doubt, however,
that members of Congress from
the Corn belt" states are under
heavy political pressure from
their districts, as the organized
farmers are quite powerful econ
|'omically and politically. 1t is,
therefore, with desire to help
these organized groups that these
legislators are apparently court
ing the displeasure of the Chief
Executive in order to obtain some
legislative measure which will
broaden the markets for the farm
products.
Comment has been made that
the proponents of various farm
relief measures are providing po-
litical remedies for economic ills.
1t is obvious that the admins
tration is cognizant of the politi-
cal undertow. Secretary of Ag-
riculture Jardine, speaking from

EDITOR WALLACE, ST. PAUL
VISITS in PINE COUNTY

Dan A. Wallace of St. Paul,
editor of The Farmer and The
Farmers Wife, arrived in Sand
stone Saturday evening and at
once left for the Sand Greek
school house where he delivered
an address before an attentive
audience of farmers and their
families. The address through
out was closely followed and the
feeling was unanimous that his
Explanation of the causes and eff
fects of present day agricultural
conditions was clear and explicit.
After the address, Senator Larson
and others from Sandstone were
called on for remarks after which
the ladies of Sand Creek served
coffee, cocoa, sandwiches and
cake. Mr.. Wallace is most
agreeable mixer and Immediately
won the good will of the people
present. 1t was eleven o'clock
when the gathering broke up and
after twelve that Mr.. Wallace and
party reached the hotel in Sand
stone.
Sunday was an ideal day for a
tramp up the river from the
Great Northern railway bridge
two miles to Sam Gjertson's
"Cozy Camp" where there is an
ideal spot for camp or picnic.
Clear, cold water is supplied by
a spring close at hand. The camp
is located at the mouth Of a little
stream ON the bank of Kettle
river. To this inviting spot Mr..
Wallace, Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. j. A.
wye, Senator Larson, Messrs. Bar
stow, Deming, Hosford "a friend
of Mr.. Wallace from Minneapolis,
who accompanied him), jacobson,
Lloyd WYE, Sam Gjertson, and
County Attorney Johnson, with
packs of camp utensils and a
plentious supply of provisions
joyfully followed the trail.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-05-06

A camp fire was soon kindlcd
and with Mr.. j. A. wye as chief
cook and Messrs. Barstow, Lar,
son, Johnson, and Gjertson as
cookies, one soon caught the tan
talizing odors that precede an in
viting meal.
That Senator Larson has other
qualities than those pertaining to
lawmaking, he demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the entire
party. His excellent coffee was
in great demand.
The banker and attorney prov
ed their worth and are recon-
mended to those desiring the
services of experts. Baked pota-
toes, bacon and cream gravy, pork
and beans with coffee a la Lar
son, rolls and bread, pie and
doughnuts with appetizing deli.
cies soon satisfied the hunger
created by the morning walk.
At three o'clock the party began
their return trip back home.
On Sunday evening before
full house, Mr.. Wallace delivered
an address in the Congregational
church in Sandstone on Com
munity Building. The reception
of this address was similar to
that at Sand Creek-highly ap-
preciative.
On Monday morning, Mr.. Wal
lace and party visited the Hal
vorson Poultry Ranch in Sand
stone, later driving to Askov
where they visited the American
Publishing Co., Ferndale Nursery
and other places. After driving
about the thriving town with
Editor Petersen they left Askov
at 1890, the party driving to a
trout stream near Holyoke where
they remained until nearly six
o'clock, especially delighted
as everyone with a reel had
caught from one to five speckled
trout.
A resume of the addresses of
Mr.. Wallace will be given in next
weeks American.

ACHIEVEMENT DAY AT
PINE CITY MAY u
This Story Was Written by One
of the Women Taking Part
in the Sewing Projects

In thinking OF our sewing pro-
ject meeting, we are glad for the
benefits and pleasures derived
from them. We leaders enjoyed
meeting Miss Willis, the home
demonstration agent, and the
leaders from the other groups
over the county. 1t is an in
spiration to find so many farm
women, whose duties are without
number, who still can find time
to attend the MEETINGS of the lead
ers of the county, and use an
other day in giving the work to
her home group.
We believe the work has been
a considerable benefit to our COM
munity in that we have been
given some of the more import
ant methods to be used in the
making of silk and wooden gar
ments. Also in the principals
and art of dress, the selection of
color and fabric for the individual
type, and the important points to
look for in buying ready-to-wear
garments. Also how to Judge
pure and shady or filled mater
ials.
1t seems to us we get more aid
from lessons | and II than from
the other two lessons. They,
were all very practical but les
sons | and II were more compre-
hensive and we were better able
to present them to our home
groups.
There is another feature of the
group meetings which we cannot
overlook, and that is, the better
understanding and friendships
established among the women of
the community. In our group
meetings we followed the idea of
cooperation which seems to be
good wherever applied. We ap-
piled it to the serving of our
lunch. We organized our group
and among other things we had
a refreshment committee which
attended to the matter of the
lunch for each meeting. We di-
vided into groups so each member
helped but once during the
course. We found it very en-
joyable and saved a great deal
of work. We also limited our
committee to the number of
things to be served so it would
not be elaborated and a burden
to anyone.
We enjoyed our meetings so
much that we have continued
meetings once each month since
the completion of the project
work. We use our time making
dress forms for those who did not
take sewing No. 1, and in helping
each other in many ways.
We do not think we could have
been nearly so successful in Or
ganizing our group and carry
ing on the work if we had not
had our Farm Bureau Unit. We
have our definite times to meet
and it serves as a sort of clear
ing house for community inter-
ests.
| We are preparing for and look
ing forward to Achievement Day
at Pine City on Saturday, May
%, with considerable enthusiasm.
We are also looking forward to
the lessons on the selection, pre-
paration and combinations of
foods, and the different aids
promised us in the course which
our county agent has arranged
| for us this summer.

Her Second Cousin.


Westminster" a Swedish Cali
fornia newspaper, has discovered
that Waldemar Lind, conductor
of an orchestra in the State re-
staurant, Market street, San
Francisco, is a second cousin of
the famous Swedish singer, Jenny
Lind. Mr.. Lind is recognized as
an exceptionally able conductor,
and his concerts are being broad
cast via station KPO almost daily.
The surmise is made that he must
somehow have inherited the mu-
steal genius of his famous rela-
tive. Another, but more distant,
relative of Jenny Lind was re-
ported found in New York a few
years ago. He was the janitor
of an apartment house.
