STONE AXE FOUND
UNDER BACK PORCH

Dirt-crusted, an implement
believed to be of Indian origin,
was unearthed under a back
porch floor here recently. The
implement, found when improve
ments for expanding the room
area Of the George Brown home
on Main Street necessitated the
removal Of the floor, has been
identified as a stone axe. While
no authorities on Indian lore
have called it authentic, still
there are evidences that point
to it's being accurately named.
Only the stone head Of the tool
remain. There are evidences of
it's being Clipped, by hand, to
form a groove around the head.
In this groove the handle had
presumably been bound by
thongs. It was customary, after
leather thongs had bound the
handle to the stone head, that it
be dipped in water. Drying then
shrunk the thongs, tightened
them. Toward the base of the
stone, evidence of chipping to
form a blunt blade were found.
Other surprises that loomed un-
der the floor were: the discovery
of forgotten well, a toy model
of an ancient vintage Model T
Ford. In view of this more mod
ern discovery it might be as
sumed the stone axe had been
discarded there rather more rec
emily than the time when In
dians roamed this vicinity.

New Worlds Oldest Book
Rests in Texas Library

A copy of "Doctrina Breve," old
est book printed in America, rests
in the University Of Texas library.
The volume, which the librarian
says is one of three in the United
States, is a catechism printed in
Mexico in 1543 and 1914 by Bishop
Juan de Zumarraga, whose print
ing press was the first brought to
the New World. Zumarraga had
printed books in America three
years earlier, but none Of those are
known to exist now.
The Spanish volume, bound in
heavy Spanish leather decorated
with gold tooling. Is in an excellent
state Of preservation, according to
the Latin-American librarian at the
university.
''Doctrina Breve" is included in a
collection of 100 volumes and $4,000
pages of manuscripts obtained by
purchase from heirs Of Joaquin
Garcia Icazbalceta, noted Mexican
historian and collector.
Among the manuscripts is let
ter from fernando Cortez to En-
peror Charles v Of Spain, written

COMMITTEE PREPARES
STRIP PLANTING PLANS

A committee representing the de-
partment of conservation and the
department of highways is laying
plans for extensive roadside tree
planting that will provide game
food and cover, as well as to re-
place highway snow fences in many
instances.
The divisions Of game and fish
land acquisition, and forestry in the
conservation department, the right
Of way, roadside development, and
maintenance divisions Of the high
way department are represented.
The committee has requested the
United States Biological Survey to
cooperate in the projects that call
for planting Of strips Of trees
bushes, and game food and cover
plants along highways that will
serve the double purpose of wild
life refugees and snow protection
These strips in themselves would
be game refugees, but hunting would
be permitted on adjacent lands, and
the game would be increased in
these areas. It is proposed that
the planting be done under the
terms Of the Pittman-Robertson act
setting aside the ten percent fed
eral tax on small arms and ammu.
milton for wildlife restoration pur'
poses.
The committee hopes to have ar
experimental area ready for fall
planting, to demonstrate the feast
bility of the plan.

RECOVERY NEEDED

Agriculture in Minnesota must
look to a nationwide recovery to
stimulate jobs for its surplus work
ers and restore purchasing power
for its reduction.
This is the conclusion reached by
the Minnesota Institute of Govern
mental Research in a survey on the
farming industry recently made
public.
The report points out that the
farming industry already is over
crowded and states, 1T is clear that
the surplus of rural youth cannot
long continue to be damned up on
farms without serious economic con-
sequences" It is the opinion of the
experts that agriculture in this
state has reached its limit of ca
pacity for profitable employment
and asserts there is not reason to
hope it can in the near future offer
a livelihood to additional workers
The survey-taken on its face
value-is not encouraging. Hope
lies more than ever with a contin-
uing recovery program of the ma
tional government.-Detroit Lakes

general disintegration of the ma,

Calling attention to the Presi

Iowa and Illinois were passing his
Warm Springs, Ga, cottage en-
route to Florida, Congressman An.

Possibly the final and greatest
of all New Deal experiments is
found in the Presidents latest at
tempt to unbalance the economy
of united nation by his advocacy
of complete industrial and agricul-
tural self-containment for the
south. This has been his goal for
the last six years. And what are
the results?
Before the New Deal the noisy
milk trains from Minnesota, Wis
consin and Iowa carried cream
milk, butter and cheese to oul
friends and neighbors in the south
and returned to the north full
laden with cotton, cotton goods
cottonseed oil and cake, peanuts
tobacco, sugar, molasses, oranges
and other citrus fruits, petroleum
and scores of other products pro
duced exclusively in the south.
"Now under the New Deal ex
perimentation, the noisy milk
trains from the north have beer
silenced. They run no more, fol
the New Deal has subsidized and
financed the south to become self.
contained in dairy production. But
the northern states continue tc
buy more and more products from
the south, and the trains run back
empty" .....
