answer I should like to know the conditions under which the specimen was found which you forwarded to It looks to me to be artificial and not In order to prove definitely the nature of the ir be necessary for me to break off a small Perhaps if you will state the location from which it came I can de cide whether it is natural or artificial without seeing the Hoping to hear from I Yours very Clark has told us that is was found on a gravelly or rocky point on his place when he was picking corn last and has given permission for it to be bro ken open if We have so written Upon mature consideration we have concluded that Clark has chanced upon proof of the playing of the great national game in pre historic and this place was the location of the Sharpsburg grounds in the stone and this was the standard pill of that We can readily imagine that the finger prints were the results of the grip of the Iron Man Mc Ginty of that as he vainly tried to fan some doughty Ty Must have been some this stone age and the granite have han em no gloves protec tors or even shin guards have been thus antedating the oldtimers who proudly relate that they played the game before it was made effeminate by the use of these new fangled flubdubs We will wait the reply of the geologist with where yon w i s h to We struck a lot of and had to jet out and so we know what be up against if we ever invest in a joy We iaw lots of good farm jut none that looked beeter or showed better crops than In in talking to a gentle man from New Market who made the trip around from that city to Kansas City and then over into central Missouri and back the same week we both agreed that the Brown cornfield just east of town was the best that either of us had seen on the He said he saw one field near Kan sas City that might equal but it is so much farther south that it should have been away This seems to be the case the most of the Taylor county is a good and always will That is one of the reasons that Sharpsburg was the neatest and most busi appealing town of the size that we saw on a trip of better than three The stores look the busi ness here is eyen the English sparrows look more im posing and saucier than they do in other towns of the same They seem to feel proud of the town they have dont care who knows it are for and We KURDS CORNER We took a trip down in Missouri with friends the other day in a Ford and yellow It gave us a chance to see a lot of other little and plenty of farm country including the cyclone district southeast of here which was struck a month or so The roads spoke eloquent y in both states of the work that the auto is and marked trails the way almost any In a talk with John of the other he told us that he had never known sales to be dated as fast and as early as at the present He says the farmers are anxious to stock and expressed the fear that the high prices at pre sent will cause many of them to sell off their breeding stock and let them go to the butcher He says that this is liable to cause a great shortage of stock in the and should be guarded against at this We remember that in Argentina there was a law for several and possibly that cows could not be sold till they were 7 years This was a method that was used to build up the cattle While we do not favor legislation on the we believe that no stock should be marketed that is needed for
