Only Seek New Deals
"I fear that large part Of the
intra- party and inter-party pointing
at each other by those processing to

secret government minority groups
is only for the purpose of bringing
about new deals in the same dupli-
citous political game that has been

lenged.
81 am afraid that there is no real
intention to play new game in the
full light of day on the part of many
who are doing much of this point
ing.
There is a disgusting disposition
to deal in evasive generalities in
both political parties. The only
holiness perceivable on the part OF
most of those who venture to speak
audibly is in their denunciation OF

bars.

FARM FIREMEN
join TO SLASH
ANNUAL LOSSES
Federation Aids Townships
in Organizing to Com
bat Costly BIazes.

The day when a farmer must
stand helplessly by and see his barn
or home go up in smoke soon may
pass, according to G.. S. Masterson
head of the division of fire pre~en-
ton and control of the Indiana
Fire Bureau Federation.
Rural fire companies, composed OF
farmers in groups close enough to
respond in sufficient numbers and
established in seventy Indiana COM
munities, under direction of the
bureau Masterson said.
He called attention to the COM
panies in connection with fire pre-
vention week Oct. 9 to Is. \
Annual Loss Is Huge
1.-THE farmer is at the mercy of
fire unless he has protection that
these rural troops give" said Mr.,
Masterson. Approximately $:.00o,-
600 worth of property is destroyed
annually by fires on Indiana farms.
This appalling loss could be re-
duced greatly if every rural COM
munity in the State had an organ
lied fire troop"
The rural fire prevention division
of the Indiana Farm Bureau was
organized a little less than year
ago, after long study of means of
combating farm fires. The plan of
organizing fire troops was the out
come of this study and before it
was put out in a general way the
plan was tried successfully in sew
eral communities.
Since establishment of the divi-
sion, seventy communities have been
organized, with rural fire troops in
Boone, Hancock, Hendricks, Grant,
Montgomery, Vermillion, Warren,
Tippecanoe, Benton, Newton,
Marion, Jay, Blackboard, Huntington,
Gibson, Vanderburgh, Spencer,
Lawrence, Shelby, Carroll, Miami,
Elkhart, Fayette and Franklin
counties.
Troops in Every Township
eve plan to establish from three
to five troops in each township,
eventually" Mr.. Masterson said.
Experience has taught us that the
township is too large an area for
one troop successfully to protect.
"A group of ten or fifteen per-
sons living close enough together to
be neighbors has proved the most
satisfactory unit for fire preven-
ton and control. Each troop elects
a captain and lieutenant, who are
in command at a fire.
Each member of the troop is eX-
pected to equip himself with an ap-
proved fire extinguisher, and in ad-
dition it is recommended that each
troop equip itself with two force
pumps that throw water from at
tached containers.
1.-THE Farm Bureau is supplying
both extinguishers and force pumps
to the members of the rural troops"

sional belief that Herb would be able
to take part in the series probably
by Friday, if Miller Higgins re-
quired him.
"We1l see how things break at
the start" said the diminutive
Yankee manager, when questioned
about the possibility of his calling
upon the stricken southpaw for
pitching duty.
It's Higgins idea to wait as long
as seems sensible before assigning
Pennock to face the Pirates.
Now DOME Bush's problem, this
cool October morn, was compli-
Gated by no such indecision about a
pitcher.
Full of Ginger
"The boys are full of fight and
ginger" said the Corsair chief. eff
they just play the kind of ball of
which they are capable, I'll be salts
fed"
DOME, in his first season as a Ma
tional League pilot, has had hard
fight on his hands to bring his often
unwilling ball club to the top. But
now that he has landed it there, he
has been blessed beyond the fond
dreams of baseball managers by hav-
ing his regulars and his pitchers
alike in fighting trim.
Only Joe Harris, the SCARED vet
eran Of the world war, is affected by
i'll health, and old Joe, established
as the regular Pirate first baseman,
is the type of ball player who knows
how to overcome just such difficult
ties.
Lively for Cripple
One never would guess, in watch
ing the grizzled veteran skip about
the bag, digging into the CRIME for
low-f1ung balls and flinging himself
aloft to drag down occasional wild
throws, with all the ginger of a
youngster in his first big game, that
Joe Harris is the lone cripple of the
Pittsburgh club. =
The most serious of the Pirates,
as the ball club gathered for final
instructions on the eve of the open
ing game, was Clyde Barnhart.
81 know the load I'm carrying"
said the solemn-visaged man who
has been assigned the task of filling
"Kiki" Cuyler's place in the Pitts
burgh outfield. zone slip and sup
pose the fans will ride me right out
of the park"
Barnhart turned to DOME Bush,
his firm jawed manager, who is re-
sponsible for the present eXtraordi-
nary situation which has relegated
a star player to the bench during a
championship series.
Barnhart to Give All
"You can count on me, chief"
he said.
This seems to be the sort of spirit
with which DOME has brought his
Pirates into the battle for the cham
pionship.
Opposed to the heavy hitting rep
utations enjoyed by Babe Rutland
his comrades of the New York
Yankees, it seems to be something
well worth banking on in the world
series of 1927.

Prehispanic Ruins Found in Mexico

is not truncated, as in the case Of all
other known pyramids Of the Mexican
Indians. 1t is about SO feet high and
35 feet at each base line.
A fourth pyramid Of this ancient
Indian city has a series Of rooms of
different sizes built into one Of its
sides. Although this structure Is in a
very bad state Of ruin, the material
that remains gives an idea Of what It
was in its heyday.
The best preserved edifice Of all Is
another pyramid in an adjoining quad
rangle. It is SO feet high and has q
series Of rooms or living quarters.
The material out of which this city
Of pyramids Is built Is yellowish gray
porphyry, coming from the geological
formations Of the hill on which the
city stands and others in the vicinity.
The stone fractures easily, and the
building blocks are Of uneven sizes,
but none more than six or eight inches
long. The mortar used Is Of red lime
mixed with straw.
The ruins have been known for
moro than 20 years, but they have
been neglected by scientists, both
American and Mexican, mainly be-
cause the large number Of Maya and
Aztec remains In other parts OF Mex
leo have detracted from others by
their greater artistic aspects. But
from a scientific standpoint these
ruins are Of the greatest Importance.
DR.. Noguera says, and will open a new
horizon in American Indian archeol-
ogy. So far no excavations have been
| made in search Of pottery and imple-
ments which will give picture OF the
lives Of this unknown race Of pyramid
builders.

Important prehispanic ruins in
Northern Mexico OF a civilization that
bridges the gap between the Pueblo
culture in the Southwestern United
States and that of the more advanced
culture Of the Aztecs and Mayas in
Southern Mexico have recently been
inspected and studied by DIR. Eduardo
Noguera Of the department Of archie
ology OF the Mexican department OF
education.
The ruins are of fortified city on
the crest OF a hill about 35 miles
southeast of ZacatecaS, the capital Of
the state of that name. The locality
was apparently chosen for defense,
DIR. Noguera says, and suggests that
the prehistoric town was surrounded
by enemy tribes. The hill is about 500
feet high and more than 5000 feet
long at it's greatest point, and where
Il is not naturally defended by steep
cliffs 1t is surrounded by stone walls
which are double In some places.
The hill is a series Of five terraces,
and each terrace has its groups Of
buildings. The approach Is guarded
by a small pyramid, and from there an
avenue leads uphill to the first ter
race. Minor avenues lead to other
parts Of the Hill and TO other edifices.
On the first terrace is g. great
"aalon," about 1870 by 100 feet. 1t is
surrounded by wall. and within are
IL pillars, constructed Of stone. They
are at irregular distances from each
other, but are placed at regular dis
tances from the walls. Their purpose
is a mystery. Even in their ruined
state the highest Of them are more
than IL feet.
This salon leads TO another many
times larger, and also surrounded by
walls, which open at the east end and
give access to a small pyramid. A
