today offered his 113-acre farm to any
charitable institution that would make
small down payment and pay an
annuity of s6 an acre to him and his

low prices of agricultural products no
longer made it profitable
A charitable institution or church,
he suggested might be able to run the
farm at a profit because they would be
tax exempt. There are no incum-
brances on the property other than an
1904 tax bill. payable this year.
The farm. Will.e said. has been in

Feet to the East Once
General Burial Custom

In the early Christian cemeteries
OF Great Britain and northern Eu-
rope, all grave plots were laid out
east and west, and burial was with
the feet to the, east. The custom
arose, according to Simpsons ac-
count, from a legend that Christ
was placed In the sepulcher with his
head to the west. Matthew "a Pr
For the lightning cometh out Of
the east, and shineth even unto the
west so shall also the coming Of
the Son OF man be"-is quoted as
authority for the belief that bod
les OF Christians should be buried
with the feet to the east, so that
on the morning of the resurrection
they will be facing the east and can
hurry to meet the Lord. In Wales
the east wind is known, for this rea-
son, as "the wind of the dead mans
feet" Investigation of graves be-
fore the Christian era. however. has
shown that among pagan peoples
the same custom was observed. In
America, some Indian tribes bury
their dead with the feet to the
east so that when they rise they will
face the rising sun.
