Texas Expedition Uncovers First of Giant Triassic
Reptiles With Protectors Intact.

ing the Triassic period. some fifty mil

The phytosaur'S back was covered by
an armor made up of thick bony
plates, and the Michigan expedition
made the first find Of set Of armor
plates in undisturbed position.
DR.. Case said the finding of the
plates of the dorsal srmor in place is
a unique discovery, as it will solve
many questions concerning the form
of these extinct creatures.
The expedition went to Texas June
Is. In the triassic formation near Sny-

found seven skulls Of large amphibians.
These specimens are Of the type named
Buettneria by DR.. Case from speci-

formation of Texas.
These amphibisns were much like
modern mud puppies or water dogs,

The regular monthly meeting was
held Friday night, July 3rd, with a
good attendance. Reports on the
Lincoln-Cedar Creek bake also on
the First Pyramid Party of the
summer were given. Both were
gratifying to the members.
1t would be a good idea for any
one planning to go to lecturers con-
ference to begin to think it over.
The conference will be held in Aug.
at College Park, Md, and the side
trips will be around and in Wash
ington, so that it will be very in
teresting as well as instructive to
all who attend.
The Sussex county field day will
be held at Laurel amp, August Sth,
with National Master Taber as
speaker of the day. Let as many as
can plan to be there.

of the Lincoln party for July an
nounced that it will be held Satur-

MENTAL LET.DOWN

When the young people graduate
from schools and colleges, they are
told by the orators of the day that
their education has only just begun.
Many of them leave these institu-
tions with firm resolves to keep on
studying. But the majority forget
all about these purposes.
Unless they have very distinct
taste for learning and study, they
settle down in their occupations,
and their reading becomes frag-
mentary: They usually read the
newspapers, but many of them skip
over anything that is Informative,
and read simply the sports, the
scandals, and the sensational events.
For many of these people, a mark
ed mental let-down has come. The
farther away from school they get,
the more the mental let-down de-
velops. That is one reason why it
is slow work improving our country
and home communities, and why so
many people fail to accomplish
much in life. There are too many
people for whom thinking is hard
work.
Milford chronicle., 1931-07-10
HENRY FORD,S FARM

Henry Ford, it is stated, is going
to run a big experimental farm. He
has acquired a large group of farms
in southeastern Michigan, he is re-
moving the fences separating these
properties, and he is quoted as say
ing that farming should be run
more like industry. Probably he
will show us quite soon what can
be done by quantity production in
agriculture.
Many people claim that farming
will never get down to prosperous
basis, until the farm properties are
combined and operated on a big
scale like factory plants. 1t is
claimed that there is an enormous
amount of duplication in small scale
farming. For instance, a dozen men
may each have to buy a costly ma
chine now, where with combined
farming one machine might serve
the whole territory.
The combined farm would en-
counter serious obstacles. It's work
ers would expect an eight hour day,
while for the sake of his independ-
ence and stimulated by his ambition,
the small scale farmer often works
IL or ii hours. It will be claimed
that the small scale farmer, know
ing by long experience what he can
do with his land, can get more pro-
duction out of it than would be
gained by the average farm man
ager, who was attempting to super
wise some very extended tract.
Mr.. Ford, one of the worlds great
est geniuses, appears to be putting
his mind to that problem. His bril-
liant perception can see much
waste on the ordinary farm. And
he no doubt sees difficulties in the
way. The country can be glad if he
goes to it, and shows what his mind
can do on the problem.
If he can produce at less expense
than the ordinary farmer, many ag-
will be glad to sell out
to him and take his good wages. If
he is not able to do so, he will be
able to show the farmers how they
throw money away.

SMALL BEGINNINGS LEAD TO
MILLIONS

A one man-one horse industry in
/ Chicago celebrated its twenty-tifth
birthday last week. ?
A. quarter of a century ago, its
total capital was $65. Its assets
were a spawned, plugging horse,
Paddy; the determination of young
Canadian, J. L. Kraft; and an idea.
Today it is the largest cheese
business in the world with it's sales
volume approximating 80 million
dollars in 1880.
It's plants extend into more than
thirty States, into Canada, Australia,
Cuba, and England.
Just another example of how Am
erica pays tribute to new idea.
The young Canadian introduced the
pasteurization of cheese and its
marketing in sanitary and cOnven-
lent form to preserve it's uniform
ity and flavor. He took cheese out of
the hunk class and put it into pack
ages. 1t was in idea which increas-
ed our national per capita consump-
tion of cheese from three pounds ten
years ago to almost five pounds last
year.
To celebrate this twenty-fifth an
niversary, Kraft employees through
out this country and abroad pre-
sented him with bronze plaque
showing the homely but determined
outlines of the old cheese-horse,
Paddy, with the cheese wagon,
which twenty-five years ago, Mr..
Kraft was driving around Chicago
streets. The laque was sculptored.
by famous English artist, Diana
Thorne.
Recalling the early days of the
cheese business in Chicago, Mr..
Kraft said, 1.-TWO rolls and coffee for
my own breakfast and bag of oats
for Paddy were all I had left to
show for my original $65 outlay the
second morning I was in Chicago.
At the end of the first year we were
three thousand dollars in debt in
spite of all the trotting Paddy did
and all the sales l could make.
"Bad luck certainly followed Pad
dy and me around for that first
year or two. Attempting to increase
our sales by the addition of another
horse and wagon to the original out
lay, I borrowed some money. The
second horse died. Paddy fell and
broke his leg and misfortune seem
ed about to terminate the biggest
cheese business in the world at the
end of year.
"But about that time, our luck
changed. Determination. lots of
work and the faithful ministrations
of Paddy enable us to carry on"
In the Kraft organization, it is
more than horse and wagon-it is
a symbol. And it's a nation symbol
as well. An $SO,OOO,OOO horse! And
an idea!

LESSONS LEARNED

The philosophers tell us that pc
iods of difficulty are very useful to
people, if they are disposed to learn
the lessons of such experiences. In
the past the American people have
learned very valuable lessons from
the periods of sub-normal business
which they have experienced. They
should learn equally valuable ones
from the business reberses of 1880,
which seem now to be close to their
end.
The depression of 1S93-94 taught
the American people the value of a
stable currency. AS result, they
established their currency system
on as firm a basis as financial
science makes possible.
The 19O7-OS depression taught
them the necessity of better bank
ing system. Consequently they Gre
ated the federal reserve system,
which carried the country through
a great war without distress?
The 192O-21 depression taught
them the folly of extravaganza and
high prices, and the necessity of
thrift. Since then they have not
tolerated extremely high prices, and
they have been saving a great deal
of money.
One lession which they did not
thoroughly learn from these three
depressions, however, was to be ex-
tremely cautious about speculation.
Consequently they got caught in
1929 in the most disastrous specula-
tive bubble the country ever expe-
rienced. 1t is to be hoped that they
have learned a lesson about danger
GUS speculation from the 1929 expe-
rience, and that hereafter these in
flated booms will be checked by the
financial leaders before they become
menacing.
Also the experience of 1929-30 |
should have persuaded the business
leaders to plan more effectively to
give their help regular employment.
If the 1880 depression shall have
taught the country these lessons, as
previous periods of low activity ac-
complished their positive results,
then the experiences of the past two
years will have proved useful.
Milford chronicle., 1931-07-10
FIGHTING THE WEEDS

The amateur gardener, wondering
at the ways of nature, asks why it
is that weeds will freely grow in
his soil, while he can barely induce
his plants to take root. Many weeds
will thrive in the poorest soil, while
the useful plants and flowers must
be constantly fertilized and tended,
or they will amount to nothing.
The reason would seem to be-, that
much of the strength of the useful
or beautiful plant goes into the
fruit or flower, while the useless
weed devotes all its force to mere
ly keeping alive. The rose or the
poppy that is going to throw the
richness of its life into lovely bios
som, manifestly has less strength
left for the mere struggle for exist
ence
The garden books tell us that
most weeds are introduced by SOW
ing impure seeds. Hence the gard
ener or farmer should be extremely
careful where he gets his seed. He
can be sure that very excellent lines
are carried by the stores of Mil
ford. When he buys his seed of
strangers, he takes a chance that
they are grown in some nursery
where no effort was made to exclude
weed seeds. ~
1t takes a steady fight to keep
out the weeds. It will call for some |
backachy work on hot days. But |
the garden free of weeds looks so
neat, and the flowers look so crate
full at being protected from this de-
structive competition, that any good
gardener will say the battle is worth
while.
Wedding the garden used to be
the one pursuit that the boys hated.
They may take hold with interest
on bright spring day to plant the
garden. But when they are asked
to give up their customary pursuits
on a hot day to root out those
weeds, their courage for
sakes them, and life looks black.
But many boy who has stuck to
his wedding stunt, has realized that
it did him good. and taught him
that rewards come from faithful la
Dor.
