was due almost entirely to Mr.. E.
A. Kuhn, now general foreman,

house, organized as the W. D. H.
Apprentice club Because of the
fact that the local apprentice
"kickin" team was eliminated by
the boys from San Bernardino for
the championship of the coast
lines, they lost their chance to
compete against the winners of the
eastern lines for Santa Fe system
high honors. But they did not stop
there. AS soon as Newton had

teams "back east" and San Berdoo

final result that Mr.. F. w. Thomas,

prentices, consented to the big
championship contest being staged
in Winslow despite his former in
tention of choosing Albuquerque
or BeIen, New Mexico.
The forthcoming gridiron game
between Newton and San Bernar-

absolutely the biggest and best

Products of America

Avocado, -chayote, dasheen, pejibaye
and telfaeria are words that mean
nothing to most of the people in the
United States, says the Hudson Star.
They are, however, worth knowing
about and may become familiar ones
in the market-place. The. are new
fruits and vegetables that have been
introduced into the United States by
a group of agricultural explorers en-
ployed by the government to search
the world over for new farm and gar
den products for America. Among
other advantages possessed by the
United States is the remarkable one
that somewhere within its borders are
conditions of climate and soil in which
any plant viii, grows anywhere in
the void may be grown. In the last
twenty-five years they (the agricul-
tural explorers) have introduced into
the United States more than $1,000
new grains, fruits, forage crops, vege-
tables and other plants.

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
STEPPING OVER THINGS
BY H. IRVING KING

IF YOU step over a child you will
L stunt its growth, it brings bad
luck to a person to step over him
when he is lying down or to step
over his feet if he is sitting. Ii you
step over a fsherman's pole you
'hoodoo" his luck.
These are some of the superstitions
common in this country with regard
to stepping over" and superstitions
of a kindred nature prevail in Sla-
vonia, France, Germany, Belgium,
Austria, Bohemia, and Syria. In Scot
land If you are out hunting or fishing
and you step over your companions
pole or gun he considers his luck
gone for the day. Kindred supersti-
lions are found among the North
American Indians and among many
African tribes.
The stepping over" superstition
thus appears to be natural evolu-
ton which might be malevolent. A
person stepping over recumbent per-
son or his belongings was in superb
or position to the person or thing re-
cumbent, more powerfully placed for
evil. 1t was largely this leyden jan
idea which, among some ancient PEG
pies and savage tribes, caused then
TO surround their rulers with taboo
and prohibit them from touching the
ground; for the rulers were supposed
to be more highly charged thai
ordinary mortals.
