GIBSON RECORD Published to Furnish the People of Glascock County « Weekly Newspaper and ag a Medium for the Advanemtogot of the Good VOL. XXXII. NO. 19 LEARNS ABOUT INDIANS FROM BRINK OF GRAVE Guides Over 100 Years Old Tell Ancient Legends Washington.—J. P. Harrington, eth nologlst of the Smithsonian lnstitu tlon, whose discovery in California of the skull of the ancient ao-called Santa Barbara man a year ego last sum mer raised anew the question of the antiquity of man on the American con tinent, ts continuing his explorations California. He is expected back in Washington in March with new and valuable ethnological and archeolog ical information. Mr. Harrington is one of the fore most experts on the languages of the Amerlcan aborigines. He recently made a study of the language of the “white Indians” brought back from Panama by R, C. Marsh, Mr. Harrington has sent word to Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau of American ethnology, that he is res cuing rare data from the brink of the grave through old and feeble Indian guides who alone possess any Informa tion of the ancient village sites vis lted. On an expedition into Lost valley Mr. Harrington went with Francisco Laus on horseback and remained sev era! days In the mountains, discover ing rare raneheria sites and filling a space hitherto blank on the archeolog ical map of California. Guide Very Old and Feeble. “The Indian Francisco is very old and feeble," writes Mr. Harrington, "and the trip was very hard on him. Ail the Information which he gave on these places was rescued from the brink of the grave and there ts no one else that knows even a fraction of It” Mr. Harrington visited a place where the Indians formerly captured eagles by letting a man down the face of a cllfT by means of a rabbit net woven of the red milkweed fiber. Another of Mr. Harrington’s guides la Angel Cuiipe, one hundred and four years old, who accompanied him on a trip down the Canada de las Uvas. "Many of the archeological sites we visited,” writes Mr. Harrington, “appar ently had not been touched since In dlan times and we found without diffl culty the old hut circles on the sur face of the ground, either marked by rings of rocks which were formed by the Indiana clearing the surface for the circular hut or by rings of raised earth which mark the former walls. Ancient Village la Found. “The largest village we discovered was that known to the Mission In dians as Milyahu, This differed from the other sites in being located on a detached rocky hin, which has the ap pea ranee of a great towering citadel when seen from the arroyo. The little Indian wigwams, varying In diameter from fourteen to twenty feet, nestle all over the summit of this hill and the circles are as fresh as if the place had been abandoned yesterday.” On a hill on the Santa Maria ranch near Ramona Mr. Harrington discov ered an ancient Indian fortification wall, which Is evidently in much the i same condition as when It was aban |doned. It Is made of rocks piled In | the form of a parapet five feet or more 1 In height. The wall forms a corral around the top of the hill. Command ;!ng a fine view of the valley, It was used, according to tradition, as an out I look. [ In Palm canyon he reaped a rich j i harvest In hitherto unrecorded place names and archeological sites. On this (trip Juanlto Razon, more than one [hundred years old, was his guide. [They went across the sand washes and rocky arroyos In an automobile— a hard trip. They visited ancient wa ter holes, painted rocks, caves, sacred stones and magical springs.

This knowledge has resulted in the housewife planning her menus with an eye open to dietary values, which is the big reason why milk has assumed sue* s large place in the>menn of the American family. Milk contains every structural element fbr body building, It Is an almost perfect food. Despite the beet refrigeration facilities milk will keep tweet only a short time Millions of American housewives have solved this big problem by using evap orated milk, which Is simply fresh cow’s milk .sterilized jIn cans to achieve keeping qualMp* and with sixty per cent of the water removed, Evaporated milk is not the same as condensed milk, although many per song confuse the two.

For this reason the evaporated product may he need In any way In which market mtt 1* ised. Teachers Pay Small, Education Cost High Washington.—“Is the cost of prep aratlon for the teaching profession too great In proportion to the salary re turns?” An article In School Life raises a serious doubt, amounting a! most to an affirmative answer. “Single men students at Columbia In 1823-24 spent for the school yeai of nine months an average of $1,183,’' * be artd<de states. Married couple 1 from $1,630 to $2,973. "Basing the judgment on the fig ures of this Investigation, the coat 0 ! attaining the bachelor degree will b< $4,800, the master's degree $6,000 an' the doctorate $7,300 or $8,500. “The person who enters the teach lng profession can hope to receive a; most about $8,400 salary in a sum! university or college, $8,700 In a me dtum-sized one and $6,000 In a larg< Institution. Moreover, those salaries will be reached, If at all, only afte> from fifteen to twenty years of su< cessful experience.’’ Male Butterfly Lures Mate With Perfunw Washington.—Dr. Austin H. Clark o the United fitates National museun says the male butterfly, not the fe male, emits the sweet odors and wear the pretty colors. The gentleman but terfly uses enticing perfumes to attrao the other sex. These odors originate In the hair, o scales, grouped In patches on the him wings and, In some, the hind legs. Th< scents are distributed In all direction and literally fill the air about the In sect. Doctor Clark has found that lemon verbena, musk aDd many others are common. A homely butterfly maj emit a variety of gay odors. Man and His Creator He fell to work, whistling softly, and was swallowed up in the keen, dear joy of creation, which does not come to man too often, lest he should consider himself the equal of his God, and so refuse to die at the appointed tidk. —Kipling.

This Farm Relief Question Is Now a Tremendous K , National, Problem L By FRANK 0. LOWDRN, Former Governor of Illinois. rjpi HIS pressing agrarian This farm nation view' policy, relief has that question has the this begun power republic, is to now decay solve through a tremendous i-t, and I failure do not national to yield reach tot problem. it the sound other de to must go down at, republics have gone down “into the twilight of the gods.” We know more than the people of any other republic ever have known. We are beginning to question the orthodox views of the so-called lntv of supply and demand. We must listen to the newer economists, take the findings of scientists arid use them. It is significant that the eastern industrial leaders are now studying the farm situation. Government must not lag behind industry. > I think that just as Brazil has found a way by which its coffee surplus is no longer a menace, and England a method by which its rubber surplus no longer paralyzes that industry, so we in America may find a means of taking from the American farmer’s hack this old burden of his surplus. The federal reserve banking system was formed lo mobilize the credits of the country so that they could be used at any time al the point needed. If we could accomplish in point of time for Ihe farm surpluses what we have accomplished in point of place for the credit resources of the country, we would have largely overcome our troubles. I suggest a federal farm board. Suppose that board found that the producers of any farm commodity were sufficiently organized to be really representative of all the producers of that commodity. Suppose that when it ascertained this fact it should authorize such producers to form a cor poration for taking care of the surplus, either storing it to meet a possi ble future domestic need or »xporting it upon the best terms available, the expenses and losses incurred in storage or in export to he borne propor tionately by all the producers of that particular commodity. Such a board could function successfully only if it operated through co-operative commodity associations. It could expect to prevent ruinous overproduction only in co-operation with such associations. It is mtal to any plan that it should he ro framed as to strengthen and hot to weaken the co-operative movement, for in that movement lies the best hope for the future of American agriculture. The Controlling Factor in Forest Fire Hazard Is Undoubtedly Humidity By C. E. NORQUEST, U. S. Weather Bureau. - The element that seems to claim the distinction of being the con trolling factor in forest fire hazard is undoubtedly humidity. As it fluctuates the degree of fire hazard increases and decreases. Tempera ture and wind only accentuate the influence of low humidity. It makes no difference how hot the day or how high the wind, if the forest ma terials are wet fire will neither start nor spread. Ihe seeming excep tion to this general assertion ia the lightning fire that mav be started even in the rain. All dead forest materials are hygroscopic, some to a vf%-T\igh degree, and readily absorb moisture from humid air or lose ' t -*° ^ a ' r > 80 ^ a marked degree the moisture content, and hence the inflammability, of forest materials is determined by the humidity of the air to which they are exposed. There is no fire hazard before the moisture content of forest materials has dropped to the inflammability point and the degree of hazard increases rapidly with further drying, which ia accelerated by rising temperature and wind. $1.00 PER YEAR ALONG LIFE'S TRAIL By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Mae, University ef Illinois. THE THINGS AT HOME TK7E HAD a good many beautiful * v gardens In our town. Thera wasn't e great deal of society, and many of tke women, Instead of giv ing themselves over to bridge and em broidery, found pleasui* In flowers. Mrs. King had been to England and had brwught back all sorts of Ideas and specimens which she attempted to develop la her own bnek yard. She had roses from the Kew garden* and delphiniums from K el way, and many other beautiful things eMch grow acroea the Atlantic. Mrs. Watson had once paid a visit to Victoria, and had come back breath less and enthusiastic over the remem brance of the dahlias and lobelias and calceolarias which flourish In that wild and humid climate. She tried to reproduce in her own garden the riot of color which ahe had seen there, but our temperature was too hot and dry, and she got a rather sorry effect. We had English and Italian gardens and rather abortive suggestions of Japanese gardens, for few of ns had ever been as far as Japan and knew of things In that quaint country only by hearsay or through the Illustra tions we found In the Sunday paper*. To me the most beautiful garden in town was Mrs. Bacon’s. 8he stuck to old-fashioned things and things In digenous to the locality. There were beds of zinnias and irigolds and petunias and teuch-rae-nots—she had never heard ef halsaras. There were larkspurs and sweet ellyaaum and pretty-by-nights, and coxcomb. But the best part of her garden waa full of the things she had brought In from the woods and from the pralrlee. At the hack of her garden waa a rustic pergola, and massed against It were clumps, of wild roses, and sumac end wanhoof’hushes; and' clambering over It were wild clematis and wood bine and bittersweet, and all the climbing vines that one finds in the woods. There waa a stretch of garden be hind the pergole, and Into this she had brought all the wild things that grow in the woods and on the pralrlea —phlox and golden rod, and sweet araelllng heps tires; May apples, and trlllums and bluebell*. There was everything that the could transplant— sunflowers and esters, and galllardlas, and Kansas gay feather* and fringed gentian—from spring te frost there was always something In bloom. It made one think ef men (lows and hill sides and wide pralrlee and running brooks to see this garden. It brought tiack youth to wender through It. We go far sometime# for beauty and pleasure, hut often, If we could only see them, the things at home are heat. <®.
