Accordingly on the basis of the recent studies, the producer of national income whether he be farmer, working man, merchant or manufacturer, in 1938 in addition to paying 24 cents will have accumulated for him in public indebtness an additional 7 cents for each dollar earned. A western man has invented an infernal machine which he places in an envelope and sends to those who let their bill run for five years without paying a cent. The machine is guaranteed to explode and kill (he whole family and the fragments fall bark in the yard and kill the dog.

A group of millionaires financed the next scheme, which was to have been carried out by George D. Still-sodiver and former chief gunner in the navy, but after a month of painstaking trawling there was still no trace of the Merida. Other schemes were envisioned, but the position of the Merida remained as great a mystery as ever until in 1924 a group calling themselves the Sea Hawks decided to make another try. Two trawlers, the Foam and the Spray, with weighted chains festooned between them, swept the bottom off the capes. All summer and fall in 1924 they searched without success. After a winter of idleness, and just as the venture seemed hopeless, the chains encountered something solid. The Merida had been found again. But bad luck still dogged the expedition. Before divers could be sent down, a storm blew up and when they sought the Merida again it was lost. n, New Iberia, Lis. With the recent conversion of the Old Spanish Trail into a modern highway across lower Louisiana, the Acadian country, in the south central section of the state, which long has been hidden from the outside world, is becoming a magnet to motor tourists from all sections of the United States, as well as Canada, according to Edward A. Mcllhenny, president of the Evangeline Scenic association. "The Acadian country, which extends over most of the Vermilion, St. Mary, St. Martin and Iberia parishes of Louisiana, provides an entirely new picture to motor tourists, aa it is different from any other section on the continent, Mr. Mcllhenny said. The tourists find a land little changed in 150 years. The inhabitants are, for the most part, descendants of the Acadians who were exiled from Nova Scotia by tbe British in 1765, and whose traditions, customs and language have been maintained throughout the intervening two centuries. Many of the native women in the Acadian towns of New Iberia, Franklin, Jeanerette, Abbeville and St. still use spinning wheels and handlooms to make clothes for their families. At St. Martinville, the scene of one of Americas most romantic love tories, immortalized by Longfellow, are 'Evangeline's Oak and the tomb of Evangeline, the chief shrines of the Acadians, on the famed Bayou Teche. It is the purpose of the Evangeline Scenic association, which is composed of citizens and civic groups in the four parishes, to preserve not only the natural beauty of this picturesque region, as well as the old landmarks and buildings, but also to perpetuate the customs and language of the 'Cajuns,' as the Acadians are colloquially known. The origin ui gnus is iust in myth and romance but there are many legends told in regard to it. One of these credited to Pliny, notes a writer in the Los Angeles Times, is that it. was accidentally discovered by some Phoenician merchants who landed on the coast of Palestine and cooked their food in pots supported on cakes of niter taken from their cargo. They were greatly surprised to find this solid matter had become a fluid and mingling with the sand had produced a transparent substance now called glass. Cold fact aays the temperature of the fires could not have been great enough to melt the sand, but science has ever had a way of interfering with romance. America began its story of glass before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. A glass house was established in the English settlement at Jamestown, Va. This was tiie first factory built on this continent. Its first products were bottles. Later a considerable trade was established with the Indians in upplying them witli colored beads with which they were greatly enamored. Years later glass factories were established in Massachusetts, New York and other New states, England and but it was not until after the American Revolution that the glass industry really took rbot here. Mar-tinvill- mid-Atlant- ic NEW YORK. A new chapter in the quarter-centureffort to recover the famous Merida treasure will be written this summer when the Italian salvage ship Falco resumes the search for the rusty hulk, buried in the sea off the Virginia coast. Early in 1911 the Merida sailed from Vera Cruz. On board were 200 passengers, refugees fleeing from revolutionaries of Madero, who had stormed Juarez two days before, and the safe in the pursers office held more than $4,000,000 in gold and silver bars, priceless rubies and other gems that once had adorned the imperial robes of the Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlotta. Rammed In Fog. East of Norfolk, Va., on the night of May 12, 1911, the Merida was moving cautiously through a thick fog. Suddenly there was a terrific The vessel had been impact. rammed by the Admiral Farragut of the United Fruit company. The order came at once to abandon ship, and officers, with drawn revolvers, kept order among the crowd who scrambled for places in the boats. The Admiral Farragut, only slightly damaged in the head-o- n collision, stood by to rescue all the passengers. Hardly had the stern of the Merida disappeared beneath the waves when a salvage scheme was being developed the first of a long series of hazardous adventures different in everything but their outcome. All were failures. The first, fathered by Capt. Charles Williamson, sought to utilize a "submarine tube caisson which was to have been lowered over the hulk of the Merida while the treasure was being retrieved. The caisson had worked in a way, but it did not work in the case of the Merida for the reason that when the time came to dredge a square mile or so of ocean bed the Merida was nowhere to be y Phone copy for news Items and events of Interest to "The Bulletin" or Commercial Printing Company Hyland 384. .....1.50 Subscription Pric e One year (52 weeks), in advance . 'Who Wrote Shakespeare?" an Ancient Controversy SALVAGE SHIP TO SEEK LOST WEALTH BULLETIN e, i. The controversy over the authorship of Shakespeare's wprksjpd,its. origin many years ago and appears from time to time. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, cites a writer in the Detroit News, the idea that the plays and poems ascribed to Shakespeare were really the work of Lord Bacon appears to have been first presented by Herbert Lawrence in his work, "The Life and Adventures of Common Sense, (1769). The thesis appeared again in 1848 in J. C. Harts "The Romance of Yachting, and in the article, "Who Wrote Shakespeare? printed in Chambers Journal (August 5, 1852). The first definite claim for Bacon's authorship was set forth in a letter by William Henry Smith, which was printed in extended form in 1857, under the title, "Bacon and Shakespeare. The earls of Rutland, Derby and Oxford have also been declared the real authors, at various times, and Bacons claim has been extended to include the works of practically all the Elizabethan dramatists. In the United States, Judge Nathaniel Holmes wrote the book, The Authorship of Shakespeare, and the controversy was continued by I. The Great CryptoDonnelly's which was based on the gram, theorem that Bacon had embedded in the plays a cipher narrative declaring his authorship. The various writers based their claims more or less on the following points: 1. It was assumed that Shakespeare did not have the educational or cultural background to write drama, while Bacon did. 2. Similar phraseology in the works of both Bacon and Shakespeare tended to show both to be the work of the same man, but investigation showed that such phraseology was common to all Elizabethan drama. None of the investigators have been able to prove that Bacon or any of the other suggested claimants ever wrote a line of blank verse.

H. Landmesser EXPERT 3 Shoe Repairing Quick Courteous Service PROGRESS SHOE REBUILDERS Three Methods Are Used in the Curing of Pork There are three methods of curing pork the sweet pickle process, the dry salt method, and the dry cure, states a writer in the Chicago Tribune. In the first, used for hams, the meat is soaked in vats containing salt brine, a sweetening agent, aid nitrate of soda. The cure requires 20 to 75 days and a constant temperature of 36 to 40 degrees must be maintained. The second method consists of putting layers of salt between piles of meat. The third is used largely for bacon and consists of soaking the meat in a light brine containing sugar and nitrate of soda. To finish off the cure the meats are placed in smoke from burning hardwood which adds to the flavor and color. The salt used prevents spoilage, the sugar offsets the taste of the salt, and the nitrate' preserves the color. Lard is made from hog fat, either by boiling in an open kettle or through a steam pressure method. It is cooked, filtered, and chilled, the cooking separating the meat fibers from- the fat. The remainder, cracklings and tankage, is used as stock and poultry feeds. David Livingstone Long a Missionary, Explorer David Livingstone was a Scotchman, born in Lanarkshire in 1817, and when a boy he worked in a cotton factory. In 1840 he landed in Port Natal, South Africa, as a medical missionary of the London Missionary society, and became an associate of Rev. Robert Moffat, whose daughter he afterward mar-rie- d. For sixteen years he labored in the mission work, and during that time discovered Lake Ngami in the northwestern Bechuanaland, and crossed the continent from the Zambezi river to Loanda, a journey which occupied eighteen months. While in England in 1857 Livingstone published "Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa. Returning to Africa he devoted himself to exploration, and in 1865 resolved to find the sources of the Nile. During the remainder of his life, observes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, there were frequent periods when he was not heard from for months at a time, and it was during one of these protracted absences that Henry M.

The passes were punched with holes to prevent their being sold as regular tickets and to prevent money being refunded if the show did not go on, as is customary with paid admissions. Thus, they resemble the cards that were use J for targets, after the famous rifle shooter, Annie Oakley, finished shooting at them. Annie Oakley performed with the Buffalo Bill circus for 17 years. The term originated in the circus world, but is now included in the slang of stage, screen and boxing circles. Polar Eskimos Friendly Polar Eskimos are a friendly, happy people who live farther north than any other human beings. They rove the Arctic from Greenland to Alaska. Skin tents are their habitation during the brief summer; snow igloos their winter homes. Their food, save for a few birds eggs and berries, is exclusively flesh the seal, bear, fox, whale, walrus and reindeer being the provender. They ara prodigious eaters, hence their plumpness and perhaps their good nature. Silver Whitest of Precious Metals Silver is the whitest of precious metals. It is susceptible of a lustrous polish and has excellent working qualities. In its pure state it is too soft for uses wherein it is subject to wear; so it is usually alloyed with copper. The terms "sterling silver and "coin silver indicate alloy proportions. Sterling silver is alloyed in proportions of 925 parts pure silver to 75 parts copper. Coin silver contains 900 parts pure silver to 100 parts copper this is the standard for United States coinage. Glaciers "Rivers of Ice Glaciers are really "rivers of ice, formed in mountains where more snow falls than can possibly melt. Eventually the ice piles up as high as 1,500 feet, gets so heavy it begins to "flow downhill. Generally it moves about 1 inch every hour, though in New Zealand and have been Greenland glaciers known to bowl along 30 feet a day.
