There 1 is a rather widespread but completely erroneous belief that it means a person of mixed white, and Negro blood. It is derived from the French form of "cirollo," a West Indian i corruption of the Spanish "criadillo," a diminutive of a word meaning "-me born or reared." '••£v AUCTION a••i.fv ' ' •!:*%,?

Terrifying Experiment' The Britisher who visited the United States during 1836-60 believed the American male did little but spit tobacco juice and race boats upon the Mississippi at an inhuman speed, .according to Max Berger in a study, - "The British traveler in America." Thousands./^f Britishers came to this country during this period in much the same frame of mind as Americans who now visit the Soviet Union. Nearly 250 of them published accounts of their travels. They believed democracy a great and perhaps terrify ihg experiment, and America the system's chief exponent. Adding to the basic alarm over socio-economic differences were surprise at the quantity of t6bacco conaumption and the habit many Americans had of permitting ser^Tants to sit at table with their masters. This fraternizing between servant and ,haaster seemingly horrified the Britisher of Tory instincts much more than finding slavery existing in the southern states. , . The English travelers' accounts bf "the face of things" during the early 19th century showed that opinion differed Sas to precisely* why the United States was prosperous. The liberal Britisher declared: "Th£ democratic system is the ahswier . J . the greatest and most important fac^of the century." The conservative replied: "They!re Tich because; of natural resources--they can't-help themselves."

Clipping will promote succulent growth in fields that might otherwise mature and go to seed, dipping will also control weeds. ' Cnudren s Eyes In childhood the front part of tha> eye reaches maturity before the back of the eye. At three years the cornea has developed to full adult size, but the eye does not reach rotundity until the sixth or seventh year. Use Tub for Window Screens Apartment dwellers who want to give window screens a thorough cleaning before storing them will find the "bathtub useful. Spread a discarded sheet or other large cloth on the bottom of the tub, covering all but the drain. Taking one screen at a time, pour a pail of sudsy water over the screen. Scrub until soot and dirt are removed. Then tilt the shower at an angle when it will rinse the screen. Let the screens dry thoroughly before sending them to the basement storeroom.

For many years a salve known as "golden ointment" was used extensively around the eyes. Sound Locators A German naval expert, writing in Das Reich, recently admitted that the vaunted U-boat had been at least temporarily outmatched, and attributed part of the defeat to new Allied "sound locators" so sensitive they could even detect a submarine "when it was operating rdiselessly," Plants Harbor Insects After plants have been killed by frost, all annuals should be pulled up and burned, or else buried deeply. The tops of perennials should be cut off and disposed of in a similar manner. Such measures will kill many insects which normally pass the winter as larvae or as pupae hidden in a seed capsule or in the stem, of some flowering plant. To the People cf this Community . KILL OR BE KILLED United States Marines paid tee siifTest price in human life per square yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost. It was kill or be killed. Your boys did not flinch when they ran into the deadliest firepower along the beaches of this important Gilb e r t I s l a n d stronghold. This assault, bloody and costly, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the boys? Remember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treasury's ^ed. while and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming "We bought Extra War Bonds" is not backing the attack Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a direct fighter against Japan and Germany. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding assault less costly in the lives of our boys. You ca t afford NOT to buy Extra Bond in the 4tn War Loan if you would help these boys. THE EDITOR.

Esrly Explorer • 1 Leif Ericson was born in Iceland to the Tenth century. A son of Erik the Red, who was a son of one of the original settlers of Iceland aneK the discoverer of Greenland, Eric-*" son spent the summer of 999 in Norway studying at the court of King , Olaf Tryggvason where he was converted to Christianity. On commission of the king, he returned home to Greenland and the following summer to preach the Christian faith". En route he was blowft off -his course and sighted land in a new region. Because of the grapevines he saw he called the new country Vinland. From descriptions of the journey and observations recorded, historians believe this country to have been New England or Nova Scotia, and as a result Leif Ericson is considered by many to have been the real discoverer of America! A few years later expeditions left Greenland to explore the new land and make settlements, bin,, they were forced to leave after three years because of attacks from what are be^ lieyed now to have been Indians. .

' ; . v Early OPA As long ago as 1314, the EnglWi parliament resorted to price fixing in wartime. During the war between England and Scotland, the price of a fat ox was set by law at $4, a cow at $3, a fat hog at 83 cents and a sheep at 29 cents. A couple of chickens brought two-eents, a goose five cents and egg? were limited to one cent a dozen. Arable land in Kent rented from six to 12 cents an acre, pasture at two cents, and meadowland from 8 to 20 cents.. Two centuries later ale sold for four cents a gallon and a laborer was paid from five to seven cents a day. By the reign of Elizabeth price levels had risen substantially. A country house', rented for $1 to $1.50 a year and could be bought for $25 or $30. Wheat was 25 cents a bushel, an ox $6.50. Claret sold for five cents a quart and red port for six cents.
