fver, when it was freed from Span
ish domination in 1926.
Bolivia is a land-locked country,
without ports of its own. In order
to send its important mine products
to seaports ON the Pacific coast, the
country has been forced to use
great inguenity in overcoming the
difficulties of transportation. For
many years, picturesque professions
of sturdy, sure-footed llamas carried
heavy ore over the Andes In true
caravan style, but today, modern rail
way facilities connect Bolivian mines
with coastal shipping points.
The distinction of having two cap
itals also belongs to Bolivia. The
administrative capital, La Paz, is the
most important city in Bolivia, as
well as the highest capital city in
the world, situated at an altitude of
$4,000 feet at the foot of majestic,
snow-covered Illimani. To reach
La Paz, one must usually travel by
Lake Titicaca, 1858 feet high-the
largest lake in South America and
also the highest steam-navigated lake
in the world.
Sucre is Bolivia's legal capital and
the seat of the National Supreme
Court. Its early inaccessibility led
to the gradual acceptance of La Pa2
as the administrative center OF the
government. However, Sucre is one
of the most attractive and HISTORICAL
" interesting cities in the republic
Because of is pleasant and temperate
climate, it has become the private
residence of many government off
cials and wealthy Bolivian families

Some of the best top soil of farms
in this district went down Big and
Little Riley creeks this week in the
muddy water during the flood fol-
lowing the recent heavy rains. Here
is something which should be mat
ter of grave concern to the entire
community.
Since white man came to this
country in 1892 he has been steadily
increasing the output of muddy
aUGter. One-sixth of Americas top
soil has already washed down its
streams and unless steps are taken
to stop it the rest of the countries
fertility may follow suit.
1t is estimated that our nation is
losing every day, as result of ac-
CELEBRATED erosion, the equivalent of
200 forty-acre farms "gone forever"
so far as their use to man is con-
cerned. This amount is great. 1t
would provide every senior in our
high schools in Ohio with a forty
acre farm for graduation annually
and also provide annually a four
acre field for each high school in the
state. Seniors, 1939-68,364). Many
of the youth of today are interested
in farming. The number of good
farms decreases every day as pic
tured above. The destructive type
of water erosion is divided into two
general divisions. One of these is
sheet erosion and the other is gully
erosion. Each rain may carry away
a very thin layer of the top soil.
Soil is our basic resource, unless
we have fertile soil in our fields in
stead of flowing down our streams
to the ocean; in a very short time
we will be a poverty stricken nation.
There is one way, however, in
which our government may help US
to keep our soil in "the fields" and
also keep the raindrop there with it
instead of letting them both go to
vase. This is by "stream-side for
ests". This plan was suggested re-
Gently by Len Hoffman, state presi-
dent Of the Indiana Division of the
Izaak Walton League of America. 1t
would require that all streams and
river banks be planted with stream

Announce Wedding
Held In Ft. Wdyne

Simplicity and beauty marked the
marriage of Miss Alice Mae Burk-
holder, daughter of Mrs. Olga Burk-
holder, northeast of Pandora, and
Pfc. Albert E. Heinig, son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Heinig, Of
Fort Wayne, Monday evening, May

gelical church, Fort Wayne. The
double ring service was performed
before background of palms, ferns
and lighted candelabra. Rev. George
]. Long, pastor of the church, Off
ciated.
Mrs. N. j. Batchelder, church or
ganist, played a short recital of nup-
tial selections preceding the cere-
mony, and the wedding march from
"Lohengrin" as the bridal party en-
tered. II Love You Truly" was
played softly during the exchange of
marriage vows and Mendelssohn's
wedding march was used as the re-
cessional.
The bride chose a two-piece en-
semble a Bahama blue silk crepe.
Mrs. W. Edward Humphreys, of AL
bany, Indiana, who attended her sis
ter as matron of honor, wore SIM
liar two-piece ensemble of pink silk
crepe with a jacket. The bridegroom
was attended by his brother, Robert
Heinig, as best man.
An informal reception at the home
of the brides brother-in-law and sis
ter, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Conrad,
followed the ceremony.
The bride is graduate of Pan
dora High school and of Information
al Business College and is employed
as stenographer in the offices of The
Magnavox Company, Fort Wayne,
while the bridegroom, formerly en-
ployed by the Wayne Knitting Mills,
is now stationed with the armed
forces at Camp Mccoy, Wisconsin.
Growing turkeys prefer grains
other than corn during hot weather
SO it is good plan to reduce the
proportion of corn in the ration.
Heavy feeding of oats appears to
discourage feather picking.

Ruins In Bolivia Show Civilization
Long Before Discovery Of America

The NeaUs presents another IN
the series of important but less
er k7toten aspects Of South
An1eficd.-EDIToR.
Strong ties of friendship already
existing between the United States
and Latin American Republics, which
are contributing heavily in strategic
materials to the war effort, were
strengthened by the visit Of the Bo-
livian president, General Endique
Penaranda, to Washington early this
month.
Mining has been the traditional
foundation of Bolivia's economy, and
today the great in producing mines
of this country, some two or three
miles above sea-level, are sending
quantities of the strategic metal to
the United States smelters to be made
principally into tin cans and con-
tainers for shipment of life-sustain-
ing foods to our fighting men and
allies.
AS a whole, Bolivia is one of the
most interesting and colorful coun-
tries in all South America, with
unique characterizations and fea-
lures. Historically, it is the seat of
an ancient civilization antedating by
centuries the arrival of the Spaniards
in the country. Ruins near Lake
Titicaca at Tiahuanacu, indicate g
race older than the Incas, who dom
mated the region at the time of tht
Spanish conquest. Then known al
"Alto Peru" the country took th'
name of Bolivia in honor of th'
great South American liberator, Bol
