Perhaps the thing for which Doctor Hodge is best known is his famous work In the excavation of Uawikuh. But know the things we him best for are the humor and charm, which makes this scholar and gentleman so delightful a companion. It was Doctor Hodge who told me the story of the Ayer collection in the Newberry library IB Chicago, a collection containing many books on the Indian. Edward E. Ayer founded his fortune on railroad But his library was founded fieA on a couple of books he read In Ills youth. In his early dayA Mr. Ayer was in the army and stationed at Tucson. Ariz. Here he got hold of Irescott's Conquest of Mexico." It was in two volumes, bound In the outlook for the Mexican people Is "gloomy." Vallejo discussed the events preceding hts flight from Mexico when General Calles and Adolfo de la Huerta were beginning their campaigns for the Presidency In 1923. He said he supported De la Huerta and events followed In quick succession. The governor soon ordered the execution of the board members of the De la Huerta party In Campeche, Vallejo said. men comOne of the twenty-twposing the board was executed before I arrived at the scene with five men and overpowered the firing squad, an act which angered the governor and I was ordered executed. Escaping, I later Joined the De la Huerta revolution. On another occasion I discovered that my soldiers were plotting to kill me. Surprising them with four men and removing the bolts from their rifles, I escaped and fled from the country.

"A regular sized emdlnge cutler was used to fill the silo, which held between 40 and 50 tons, sufficient to feed 35 cows and yearlings from November 24 to April 10, with no other feed except straw and corn fodder.

Sweet Clover Increases The rapidity with which sweet clover Is gaining favor among farmers of the western states is well illustrated In the last report of the Kansas state board of agriculture which gives figures for sweet clover for hay in Kansas during the years 1929 and 1930.
