The rhythm of the Paleozoic era was one of alternating submerg ences and emergences of the land. But when the shallow seas subsided for the last time, the granite founds* tlon of the Dells region was built high with sandstone. After two more geologic ages had run their course, the Pleistocene age packed in cold storage more than half the world, including all of Wisconsin except the southwestern comer. But miracles were at work under the ice cap. And when the "great thaw” came there was the Wisconsin river cutting its south westerly way toward the father of waters through rugged sandstone cliffs. Thirty thousand years of wa ter, wind and weather have wrought great changes in those cliffs, many of which have assumed weird and fantastic shapes. But the same dark river reflects the rich reds, yellows, purples, browns and greens of the craggy bluffs and verdant upper banks.

The yellow fruit is thought to have developed first in the humid tropi cal regions of Southern Asia. From there it moved slowly westward. Alexander the Great found the fruit along the Indus three centuries before Christ. The Arabs carried it to the Holy Land, to northern Egypt, and perhaps also across the Dark continent to the west coast ac cording to the Union Oil Bulletin. When the Portuguese arrived on the Guinea coast looking for slaves and gold, about ten years before Columbus sailed for the ' Indies,** they found the bens ns. liked it and carried it to the Canary islands.

People-Sentinel has been reduced to only $1.00 a year. This reduction is being made in the face of rising costs of publication and in spite of the fact that the size^qf ^he paper has been increased from six to seven columns per page, the larger si*d gTtffrffour readers eight more columns of reading matter each week, or a total of mom loan 400 columns during the year. * . " ^ • Effective immediately (and subject to withdrawal at any time) the new sub scription rates will be as follows: * ' . One Year $1.00 Six Months .75 Three Months .50 (STRICTLY CASH.) These rates will apply to both old and new subscriptions, but none will be accepted for more than two years in advance. Delinquent dues will also be accepted at the $1.00 a year rate, and at this new low price there is no reason whatever for any subscriber to remain in arrears. In fact, we cannot continue to send the paper to those who fail or refuse to co-operate with us in this all important matter, and, after a reasonable length of time, delinquents will be dropped from our mailing list At the same time, we hope to increase our circulation by offering a larger and better paper at a reduction of 33 1-3 per cent Sample copies are being sent this week to a number of prospective subscribers and it is hoped that they will take advantage of this special offer and send us $1.00 right away for a full year’s sub scription. Friends who felt that they could not afford to pay $1.50 a year—and have been “borrowing” a neighbor's copy of the paper—can now have it mailed direct to their address each week for less than the cost of a two-cent stamp.
