It is a matter for the serious and prompt consideration of commercial organiza- tions. “The fate of the measure may depend upon the activity of those who would be most benefited.' *"The ‘propbsed law would authoribe the Secretary of Agriculture to spend $40,000,000 for clearing | . A{ump latids in 1923. The money would be ad- ..vanced.to.settlers-at the rate of $15 for every acre i} 1 cleared. of ‘brush;: to.the extent of 50 per cent.of ., the settler’s tq'h\ acreage. ) Twenty dollars an‘acre would bé allotted for the removal of 'stumps, These - would be m-de oyer a period of five' years. ;!

In Beltrami county, where so much ‘activity has become manifest over the clearing of land, the value of federal assistance is best appreciated. The plan is a gaod one in that it would get thousands of lfre! Q2 Zertile cut-over land into crops, thus fur- nighing needed food products. In the end, the ‘People, which is only another way of uymg the government, would be the gainer. Let’s get united behind this bill and see if it can be pushed htrough congress without furthqr delay. Anyone who drops Harold Knutson, our represen- tative in congress, a line urging consideration of the bill and inquiring as to its present status is as- sured of a prompt reply, and by writing such let- ters in your own way and using your own argu- ments you will be doing your part in awakening the law-makers to a realization that such a measure will be one of immeasureable benefit. -§ The subscription of $2.00 a year in advance doesn’t mean much to the subscribers, or the pub- lishers.

[MADE' BUSINESS OF MURDER Wijliam Burke, Infamous Irishman, Also Instrumental in Adding 8ignificant Verb % Language. | Burke and Hare were two notorlous ‘body-snatchers, or resurrectlonists, who carried on their infamous trade in Edinburgh. Willlam Burke was born in Ireland In 1702, and went to Scotland as a laborer about 1817. 1In 11827 he was living in a cheap lodging house kept by another Irish laborer named Willlam Hare. About the end ,of 1827 one of Hare’s lodgers, an army pensloner, died, and Burke and Hare sold the body to Dr. Robert Knox, an Edinburgh anatomist. Hare there- upon: suggested body-snatching as a business and Burke agreed. The two men then started im to entice poor (travelers to Hare's or some other icheap lodging house. The victims were plied with liquor and then suf- focated under mattresses, without marks of violence. Doctor Knox took the bodies and pald up to £14 ($60) for them. At least 13 people had beén murdered in this way before Burke and Hare were arrested. Hare iturned king's evidence, and Burke 'was found guilty and hanged in Edin- jburgh on January 28, 1820. Hare found Scotland too hot for him and went to England, where he is believed to have died under an assumed name. e verb “to burke,” meaning to suf- focate, to strangle, to suppress, or to iput out of the way secretly, had its ofigin in Burke's method of doing |’ way with his victims, WHERE GREAT EXPLORER LIES uth Georgia Island, Tomb of Shackleton, Lonely Spot In the Great Antarctic Region.

Five miles from Dartford, England, on the old Dover road the modern road-makers are making great dis- coveries. Just fhead of them is a Roman camp. Under thelr feet are traces of Celtlc, even earlier, civiliza- tion. f The biggest find so far has been the skeleton of a woman, six feet three Inches' In height, crouched with hands clasped In a praying attitude. Clearly not a Roman burial; for the pose Is Celtic and there was no trace of a cofiin. The skeleton lay where the body was placed, in a hole cut in the solid chalk. The rond makers are keeping care- ful watch for more of these “finds.” Already they have accumulated por- tions of n Roman tesselated pavement, some charncteristic ornaments of the perlod, and other signs that the area covered by the camp Is being ap- prouched.

During & protracted stay in Arabla and other parts of the Near East, Col. W. G. Archer of Evansville, Ind. master plumber and fleld agent of the Natlonal Assoclation of Master Plumb- ers, made a study of ancient sanita- tion equipment. He returned to the United States only a few months ago and was in this city recently, uu‘yu a San Antonlo correspondent. “We prate of our great civilization and we discount the anclents, becauss we know next to nothing of their methods or thelr castoms,” Colonel Archer sald. “I found bathtubs made of onyx In Babylon and evidence of tubs made of metal and various other kinds of stone. They are ldentical with those of. to-day, with the same open- Ings for letting water in and for let- ting 1t out.

Value of the natlonal forests for recreation I8 Increasing by leaps and | bounds. Six million people visit the forests annually to camp, fish, hunt, hike, motor or rest, from all parts of the United States, says the American Forestry Magazine. Recreational use of these forests represents possibly less than 1 per cent of their total po- tentinl use. The rapid increase in the number of people deriving pleas- ure from the forests is due in large part to thelr recreational develop- ment by the forest service.
