L, Ford, a ranchman of the Pe. cacho neighborhood on the west side of the Rio Grande, near Las Cruces, N. M., reports what may be an impor- tant archaeological find. In hunting for a:lost cow he was led into a deep canyon where his at- tention was attracted by picture writ- ing on the canyon walls. These were done in a@ yellow pigment and were apparently very old. They represent- ed a lightning bolt, deer and spear- heads. : Several mortars were also found, in two of which the pestles still remained. This canyon is near the cave from which several years ago was taken the mummified remains of a man, sup- posedly that of an Indian, with an ar- row protruding from his chest.

Busiest Family Washington, Aug. 13.—The busiest household in America is at 1628 Six- teenth street, this city. It contains one of the largest “fam- ilies” on record, presided over by Mrs. Herbert C. ‘Hoover. In brains and fame it would be hard to match the aggregation gathered under this roof. But the salaries earned by its mem- bers are. smaller than the lowest sweat shop wage, as they are all working for $1 a year, ine technical pay needed to make on a real govern- ment official. The idea originated with the Bel- gian relief workers in Brussels, Rot- terdam and other European cities. It was found to save time and pro- mote team work, like the luncheon clubs of big business houses. The Hoover “family” consists of Herbert C. Hoover, Dr. Harry Gar- field, president of Williams college; Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Leland Stanford university; Dr. Ver- non Lyman Kellogg, professor of bi- ology in Stanford; Dr. Alonzo I. Tay- lor, Rush professor of medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, lead- ing authority on food values and ra- tion expert; Fred Wolcott, banker and representative of the Rockefel- ne} do noffice of the Belgian relief com- ler foundation in European relief work; J. Beaver White, leading min- ing engineer and director of the Lon- mission; Judge Curtis Lindley of San Francisco, world’s leading authority Serves U. S. for $1.A Year in America on mining law and member of the San Francisco bar; Julius Barnes of Du- luth, grain expert; Edgar Rickard, secretary of the Belgian relief com- mission and afterward director of the New York office of the commission; Ben S. Allen years representa- tive of the ‘Associated Press in Lon- don and afterward member of the Bel gian relief commission. The “family” must finish breakfast at 8:30 o’clock, under Mrs. Hoover's orders, and her orders go. From breakfast to office on run and hard work until 1 o'clock. Lunch hour is devoted to discus- sion of the day’s develapments, as well as the eats. This was the Bel- gian relief plan. Then work until 6 o'clock. ‘No quit- ting at 4:00, no afternoon golf or ten- nis, All the traditions of Washington bureaucracy again flouted. It is marvelous how the hundreds of! government clerks and stenographers | working under the food men have adapted themselves to the new sys- tem. They have caught the spirit of; their chiefs and as they know every- body, from Hoover down, is perspir- ing at his desk, they are all gooa sol- diers. Dinner at the Hoover house begins at 7:30. Usually there are two or three distinguished guests who have} come to consult with Hoover or some of his aids.

In Cleveland, O., the American died, and young Serratos wasileft stranded.

Pat French, the University of Maine athlete, who will try out with the Athletics, never played ball until this spring, devoting all his energies to other branches of athletics, but the baseball team of the college was short ; of men because several players had gone into the army, so French turned out to make the team.

A working capital of $150,000,0v0 is available to carry on these transac- tions. Staff is Selected. The personnel of the organization will consist of a general board with Julius 1H. Barnes o Duluth as chair- man, district administrators or man- agers at each of the principal termi- nals and buyers to go into the open market. All these men have -been selected by Mr. Hoover and Mr. Barnes, but announcement of their names is withheld until President Wilson has approved. The advice of Senator Knute Nel- son of Minnesota, given in a speech to the senate, that there be plenty of government buyers with sufficient money at each terminal to insure the farmer a fair profit will be heeded. Hold Price to $2. Although the law does not fix a minimum price for this year’s crop, it is the intention of the food ad- ministration to keep the price at about the figure set for next year, $2 a bushel less transportation and ele- vator charges. When Mr. Hoover is ready to star When Mr. Hoover is ready to start the wheat control machinery a dis- trict administrator will be placed in charge at the twin cities. This man, it is expected, will be Frank L. Carey of Minneapolis, who was attacked twice in the senate this week by Senator A. J. Gronna of North Dakota. Senator Gronna said Mr. Carey was one of the men that made the Nonpartisan league atrocity as a means of defense. To Hold Prices Down. The district administration will have its corps of buyers, who will get into the open market and pur- chase for the government. If an attempt is made to run the, price of wheat to a figure consider- ed exorbitant, the wheat corporation will sell, thus forcing down the fig- ure. . Should an outside attempt be made to depress the market, thus threaten- ing the farmer with a loss on the crop, the government buyers will bid higher and force the price back to the desired figure. The food administration announc- ed tonight in its plan for controlling wheat, flour and bread, revealing that the government is prepared to take over the whole 1917 wheat harvest if necessary to conserve the supply, ob- tain just prices for America’s fighting es and their allies, and reduce to the American public. ng of buying agencies at all the principal terminals, licensing of elevators and mills, fixing of a price to be considered fair, regulation of the middlemen and of grain ex changes with the elimination of tra@- ing in futures, are the chief features of the plan. The licensing will be- gin September 1. The minimum price of $2 for wheat fixed by congress does not become effective until next year, but the ad- ministration proposes to exercise a very thorough control over this year’s crop through powers conferred under leaves tlie Dodge economy as well as e Donce BROTHERS MOTOR CAR Concentrating on one car simpli- fies the problem of production and devote themselves to a continuous process of improvement. Perfect balance of light, strong parts Brothers free to contributes to ficient performance. the food and export control bills. Following is the administration's announcement: Wheat Situation Serious. “The disturbance to .the world's commerce and short supplies has caused a greater disruption o the nor- mal markets for wheat than any oth- er cereal. “1, As a result of the isolation of certain of the world’s wheat produc- ing countries the normal determina- tion of the price of wheat by the ebb and flow of commerce is totally de stroyed. “2. In order to control speculation and té secure more equitable distribu- tion of the available wheat and flour ‘etween' their coutnries , the allied governments have placed the whole purchase of their supplies in the hands of one buyer. Also the Euro- pean neutrals are now buying their wheat through single govérmnent agents instead of in the normal course of commerce. Therefore, the export price of wheat and flour, and thus the real price, if not controlled, will the foreign purchaser. Warehouse Glut a Menace. “3, In normal times, American wheat moves largely to Europe in the fall months. This year, the shortage of shipping necessitates its distribu- tion over the entire year. Therefore, there is danger of a glut in our ware- house system over a considerable pe- riod. “4, There are large stocks of wheat which cannot be drawn upon by the Allies during the war, but in the event of peace or defeat ot the submarines, these would be available and might seriously demoralize the demand for American wheat. “5. It must be clearly understood that the guaranteed minimum price of $2 per bushel for wheat, set out in the food bill, does not apply to the 1917 harvest, but only to the 1918 har- vest, and then under conditions which must be elaborated. There is, there- fore, no determined price for the 1917 harvest. GIRLS TATTOO LOVER’S NAMES Initials Cut in Court Plaster Applied to Arms and the Sun Does the Rest. Denver. — Girl bathers on the beaches at Washington and Berkeley lake parks have devised a painless tatoo system for displaying the in; itials of their favorite suitors, who have answered the country’s call for war. On their dimpled arms they have applied the initial cut out in court plaster. The action of the sun in tat- tooing their shapely “fins” leaves the foitials imnrinted strikingly. Missouri Valley Motor Co. Distributors M. B. GILMAN, MANAGER BISMARCK FOURTH PAYMENT ON LIBERTY BONDS DUE KEKT WEDNESDAY Washington, Aug. 13.—The fourth payment, of 30 per cent, on Liberty | Loan, bonds purchased on instalments is due on August 15. The payments must be made on or bfeore that date, according to the official statement of jterms and conditions of the sale of ; Liberty Loan bonds issued by Secre- , tary McAdoo of the treasurey at the time subscriptions to the bonds were invited. Whether the bonds were pur- chased from the treasury or from the federal reserve banks or through oth- er banks or agencies, it is important that these and succeeding instalments 'e paid promptly. Likening the United States to a great corporation with more than a hundred million stockholders and with capital stock and resources of more ‘thar two hundred fifty, billions o dol- lars, and an annual income of fifty billions of dollars, each American cit- izen is a stockholder in this great corporation. $ven those whose only assets are their earning capacity own shares in our public domain and prop- erty and are working on a profit shar- ing basis with a vote and a voice in the management: 0 fthe corporation and with the right to acquire more stock at any time. A Liberty bond may be likened to a share of preferred stock in this gi- gantic corporation. Like preferred stock in other corporations, it may not return, at times, so large in divi- dends as common stock, but the divi- dend rom it is certain and sure. It is stock that pays 3 1-2 ner cent div- ident but the stock and dividend can- not be taxed, and while crop failures may decrease the farmer's dividend from his land some years to less than nothing, and various causes may Iéss- en or destroy dividends from all other sorts of property, the dividend from the Liberty Loan bond is certain and sure, subject to no failure or dininu- tion. The owner of a Liberty Loan.bond holds written tangible evidence of be- ing a preferred stockholder in the © United States, the greatest, the most glorious, the most honorable and the most successful corporation in the world. He holds the certificaty of being a citizen willing to support his government and to lend money to his country when it needs it and calls for it. There is honor in being the owner of a Liberty Loan bond, as well.as jPrefit. ised. years to come.
