mound at all writes felix j koch in the christian science mon itor the earthwork is one of many remains of the mysterious mound- builders the moundbullder came and lived and disappeared long be fore the first indian entered the area he was as different from the red skin as american white folk are from the negro or chinese what has be come of him nobody knows that he was here and in great numbers is proven by the mounds the riddle of the moundbullder has been one of the taalnaung puzzles of north american history thelnterest in the problem increases because of uu engineering skill involved

this process certainly no later than the time when the norsemen were setting sail for vlnland did the last mound bullder bid the mounds adieu these builders had an engineering skill all their own they knew of no vehicles they had no draught ani mals what tools they had were of the simplest sort sharp stones were then tied to wooden handles with silvers of skin with these tools the ground was broken loosed earth was dumped into baskets woven of bark and reeds and then carried away to be packed on the stones almost everywnere discovery of a mound has led to its instant exploit ation a reverence by the former owner of the land alone led to the sparing of the mound in point now the property has been sold the new owners have felt that the world should know what the mound actu ally contains they

driver now plows prairie a few months ago a w j powell was a bus driver contending with the traffic of london today he is well settled on a farm near gilbert plains man and liking it according to a letter received from him at the lon don offices of the canadian national railways in march he was sent out to c w his family by th cor- on ira t ion department of the railway in april he found himself established on a farm of 330 acres with seven horses four cows one pig nine tur keys twentyseven chickens thirty bushels of wheat forty of barley thirty of rye one hundred of oats stacks of hay piles of wood harness a wagon buggy a drill a binder in fact all the gear of the prairie farm one night- he relates one of his cows did not come home so the fam ily set out- in search powells young est son went out in the buggy the horse suddenly took fright and bolted with the boy hanging on the reins for dear life he arrlveo home quicker than he intended but safe and ex citement on the farm subsided until the powells decided to tidy up a bit and made a fire of old wood well says the onetime busman all went well for an hour or so but when the grass started to get on fire and the wind got into it i thought we would all have got burnt up for it spread at such a pace but with the help of my eldest son and wife and youngest son and daughter with wet blankets and the creek near by we soon put the fire out but not before i was noarly winded for running about with buckets of water has not been in my line of business events like these however only add ed test to life in the new country and the

theory that these folk were one of the lost tribes of israel perhaps i mo tars pestles arrowheads have been found at random did the moundbullders drop these non both er to return for them or more likely did they insert them in the mound at various places for the dead to use on their ways to the beyond in this ohio valley there are many morifnds some of these are much larger fort ancient in

hours and take short rest periods at regular times during the day sleep if possible but at least relax thoroughly avoid excitement take moderate exercises of a kind that will develop good posture and
