1 Chnnmm seals are now being of
fered a*d although they are off to
a slow beginning the sale*, before the
| final count i* made, will prove again
that humankind, especially a* repre
I tented here in America, will be found
unfaltering in ita duty toward the
weaker and eager in iU reaponae to
celebrate materially the birth of Him
who walked a* God.
AbUaed on every turn and in the
face of a thousand to shake the
faith it i-. indeed a marvel, too, that
man's present enlightenment contin
l ues it* persistent climb and that it is
in the j>iS>ce?s of establishing as the
j greatest business proposition of the
century ene of charity, of education,
and of . real religion. At no other
? period of recorded time hat man so
| earnestly sought to prove that his
I greatest so&ress can be found only
in the happinewfc of others.
With funds for promotion the fight

| matter of conjecture and with but the
price of information tuberculosis
would be no more the terror for gen

' itfUsf possibility requiring but little
more than sentiment one can not in
any phase doubt the success of the
1&25 sale of Christmas health seals.
t to., venture a different account
1 ing would be to doubt the good
; hess of God's great world and alien
to all fact that when this very system
of life shall have given way to the
new there shall come ? and yet be
easily heeded ? from the stilled Gal
hlean waters and across the countless
channels of time the same high and
clear command ? 'that ye do love one
another.
AMERICAN HOMES THE BEST
"Providin* a home" in the United
Slates has become- something more'
. thjm a house, some furnishings and
,*%\o store accounts, in fact the aver- j
age - home of today boasts of more;
convenient ??, more luxuriant furni
ture and many more luxuries than
the best homes in the smaller cities
. town> of a >cori of years ago.
A bungalow ? , r a "par. >r, bedroom
and ba^h" m?an'? r. r.*? th :;g with the
la-t generation but means' quite a:;
other thing with, the present. There
if more for contrast than comparisof^
So revolutionary has l^t-en the ad
vancement in the Ameri<-;.n standards
of living that there i-> 1 " t * "?? ->olace for
the y?>ung-i?f*i and v.oni- ?; who today
embark upon the sea of matrimony in
>uch a frail craft as "thirty-a-week"
and one payment down on the furni
ture. Even the old-timers are find
ing themselves daunted by the new
domestic demand.-1.

than f '-ft common folks of today to
be dazzled bs the luxuriance of a mil

Then- seems little foundation for

I NCOV*g Bl'RIBO CITY
Thovxllt To He of PreGlacial A?r
of Civilization
'
Quir.c y, 111*., 3. ? A bttliod
city, lb* site, perhaps of * pr?-glacial
| age of civilization has been found in
excavation* in Pike count js Miaaouri,
six mile* from the Mississipp river
and fifty miles from here. Beneath
twelve feet of glacial drift a well
defined shaft has been uncovered
leading to a floor aixty-five feet
down, A wall leads from the foot of
th<- shaft, crossed by a similar wall
either dividing the passage from sub
terranean ^chambers or supporting the
roof- : iv>\ ? . j
Wdrkerk haw Concentrated efforts
on a point twenty five feet from the
foot of the shaft at the- edge of what
they believe is a ^oom. In it they
hope to find gold, pottery ai?i pos
sibly mummies or skeletons of the
city's ancient inhabitants.
.Search for buried treasure led to
the discovery ,of the shaft. An ex
pedition headed and financed by R.
I). Burchard, of St. Louis, investigat
ing old Indian legends of buried
| treasure, found it by means of an in
; strument similar to the old-fashioned
I giving rod. Burchard claims to have
traced the walls of forty-three under
I ground rooms and seven passage ways
; connecting them.
Didn't Like Florida?
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Johnson and
young children returned Thursday
from a trip to Florida, 42 days being
consumed in their travels, four days
of which were spent in Miami. Mr.
Johnson was a cropper on the farm of
Ira S. Harper about three miles south
of Lancaster until 42 da ytF ago when
he and family were struck with 'the
Florida fever. On Saturday, October
23, with a plug mule to a one-horso
wagon, in which wan his wife and two
child I en and a quantity of household
goods necessary- for camping, Mr.
Johnson turned his face to the land
'where the sun goes in the winter
time," to use a Florida expression.
The\ traveled by day and camped at
night. The .trip was made without
hardship and guatly enjoyed by the
| family. But when Miami, with , its
! crowded humanity, was reached,
: things did not look so "homev.'' In
i fact. M r. Johnson and family remain
| ed in that city only four days, after
1 which they turned their faces home
) ward with dear old Lancaster as their
! objective, and on Thursday, December
.'i, landed safely at their old home on
I Mr. Harper's farm. During the trip
M r. Johnson trad<*l his plug'mule for
. a biind horse which he drove back to
I the wagon. The distance from Lan
| caster is said to be about 900 miles ?
? round trip, l,bOO miles, and made in 42
I days with a plug mule going and a
blind horse on the return trip. We are
not much at distances, but we believe
all will admit that Mr. Johnson was
| "stepping on the gas."
