Seventy-five years has been a long time for the existence of a political party and then have a dis­ pute arise as to what town can rightly claim the birthplace. EacRof these towns are preparing for a celebration of this great political party birthplace, Jackson lays claim to ihe fact, that a convention on July 6, 1854 framed the first state ticket and platform under the name “Republican” 1, President Taft dedicated a memorial tablet in that city back on 1910 in recog­ nition o f the event that Jackson will again celebrate. Ripon claims to be the home o f Alvin E, Bovay, then a dele­ gate to the convention,- His contention was that he had dis­ cussed the idea of a new party with Horace Oreely and using the name “Republican” two years before the Jackson conven­ tion, On February 28, 1854 Bovay assembled numerous citizens in a local church for a political mass meeting. Neither town seems willing to give up its claims for the honor aiyl both are going ahead for the coming celebrations,. Both have invited President Hoover but not wishing to add anything to the con­ troversy has declined both invitations, tie th# mm mtoMmakt# alert** Mum In tl,R w* dwwKJwrttutt.

It resembles a racoon but has the neck and body o f a bear. A dark circle encloses the eyes while thefgirdle of black over the shoulders resembles black hip boots. The fear, limbs are black that shades to a pure white on the hips and the body is snow white. The only record ever known about this rare animal is "What has been received in the past from natives of Tibet, The Roosevelts also have other specimen of fare animals that will be brought back on their return.

The land ia divided into sec­ tions of 30 acres, With a native tenant living on each. There is an English overseer for each 50 tenants, or 1500 acres. At present the following three /year rotation is used; First year*— luba (a legume somewhat like the soy­ bean), second year-cotton, third year fallow, Sakellarides, which, with ing will become higher. Increasing the area under irriga­ tion may cause Egypt to suffer, as her population is rapidly increasing and she is totally dependent on the Nile. Even now, during low Nile, none ol the water reaches the sea. By far the greater part o f the Nile flood water comes from the Blue Nile, and if, in years to come, the Sudan utilizes-the greater part of this flood water, Egypt will surely he the loser.

In fact, it becomes monotonous traveling thru long stretches of such country, with a ' cloudless sky over­ head, and level,, green fields almost exactly alike on all sides, ' The soil fcontains a high-percentage of. clay, and is difficult to keep in good physical'condition.

Persons of a reactionary turn of mind talk iabout the "good old dgys" when everything In the household w** beautiful because it was made by somebody who had the artist’s pride in his work. Nowadays they say near­ ly all utilities are turned out in bulk ind ugliness reigns supreme.. It was some such idea as this thaf led Henry Adams, one of the great Americans of his period,, to despair of fie time in which he lived" and turn ils attention to the builders of the fid Gothic cathedrals, William Morris, the poet and design­ er, who thought that h® had reformed ,>he Inside of modern booses, had the innie idea. . • . Both Morris and Adams, like many fibers, were obsessed with the notion iff “Merrle England” and "Merrle Prance" and wished that wo could re* ;ov >r some of the characteristics o f the remote parts. But It is very easy to carry this sort ff thing -too far. The fact is that there never was a “Merrle England"1'' or a “Merrle France." There never was a period when work , was play or •when the mass of the people lived Ip a sort of kindergarten*in which toll was fun. . Buildings that are now1the most ad­ mired ruins visited by tourists were put up when want and misery marked the lives of nil b.ut a few. . Even the luxuries of the well-to-do were of the very crudest kind. Take the picturesque time of Loan of Arc! + Nothing could exceed the misery In which people existed in that century. War was not an occasional necessity Jiut a regutnr occupation. The un­ fortunate peasants were In dally and nightly terror of .the great nobles who, when they were not plundering their foes,’ Were robbing their own people. In fact it was not much worse to have a visit from soldiers of the ene­ my than from those who were sup­ posed to be friendly. ,CattIe and goods were about as safe In one case as In the other. The gib­ bets at the crossroads did not warn people not to steal, but did warn them not to do so unless they were strong enough to avoid facing the' conse­ quences. Villon, the greatest French poet of of the time, was a frknd of hold-up men and gangsters. It is wonderful that he was able to do his work whjn he was In peril of the hangman all the time. ' it Is equally &wonder that the beau­ tiful things o f the perjdd were pro­ duced by workmen who must have lived from hand to mouth.
