It seems that a certain King Wawhusb of the tamv ous Ria Toh tribe had warred on one of the lesser tribes of the land be- cause the latter had stolen a pet Mio- ‘hippus, the property of Adleremse, his favorite daughter bv his fourth spouse. This led to a war of all the tribes of the region which lasted for {our yeam. At the termination of hostilities and before a final peace was signed. conditiom were muci. as they are today. There was mixed me cry of profiteering, of Bolshevism, and the eternal contest between capital and labor was a paramount issue confront- ng the then established governments. However, the steady, common people of that remote time prevailed and when conditions had resumed their normal bent it was found that the period of unrest was merely that which followed all wars of which they had any record.
