THE BREVARD NEWS, BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1922 BIG TREES” WORLD WONDERS United States Qovemment Is Keenly Mive to the Demand for Preserva tion of the Redwoods. Our great parks, the Yosemite. Yel lowstone, Sequoia and General Grant, must be kept under military supervi sion in order to preserve their natural Wonders against Injury from trespass ers. Of all these miracles of nature, the “big trees” are the most astonish ing. There are two species—the se quoia Semper\'irens, or ordinary red wood, and the sequoia gi^antea, which Is, strictly speaking, the “big tree” of > California. These stately creatures are so im pressive that It seems quite fitting to honor them with distinguished titles. Nearly every state In the Union and fmany of the distinguished generals of the Civil war have names among them. ' The “General Grant” and the "Gen- ■^ral Sheridan” are individuals of the size, and, with the “Grizzly Giant,” are probably the biggest of all trees. Before one of the national exposi tions the government ordered a sec tion of redwood thirty feet long for exhibition and for this It agreed to pay $7,00(). Before the lumber com pany had succeeded In delivering it on the cars it had cost nearly that amount, for a mountain wagon road five miles long liad to be bul^: to get it out, and a trencli was dug as long and as large as the tree Itself to set It In. The same company also furnished another tree for another exhibition, which was cut in General Grant park not a hundred yards from the spot where the “General (;rant” stands In all its majesty. In the same grove lies the “Fallen Monarch.” through the bumt-out heart of which a mounted horseman can ride with ease. In the Yosemite is the “Wawona,” a tree with a hole burnt in its base, through which the road runs and big automobiles are driven without diffi culty ; and on the “Mark Twain” stump of the General Grant park ♦‘ighteen full-.sized cavalry horses have easily stood. It is twenty-six feet in diameter.—Washington Star. Primitive Eskimos. Ten years among the Eskimo, five of which were spent among the so- called “blonde Eskimo” of the Macken zie delta and Coronation gulf districts of the Arctic, is the record of Rev. Ed ward Hester, a Ciuirch of England missionary. The Coronation gulf Eskimos are very primitive, he states. Their weap ons consist of bows and arrows made by themselves. Haw meat is their l-vincipal food <liet, the diet varying only with the liunt;ii:; seasons. In seal-hucting time seal meat is the dally bill of fare; in caribou time, the caribou only is eaten. Tiiough the Eskimo may have both seal and caribou meat on hand at the same time, his peculiar beliefs forbid him to eat seal meat at caribou time, and vice versa. Neither may he eat a land meat, such as caribou, when on w:iter or Ice, so he lives on seal meat. When he fakes t<» the land in the spring he must not eat seal flesh. The breaking of either or' these rules v»’ill call down ui)on his head the wrath <jf the departed, wlio are always very evil spirits, .says the Eskimo. 148 poles to a cherry tree; thence south 67 de?. east 17 poles to a stake at the mouth of a ditch on the bank of Davidson River; thence down and with the meanders of the river to a stake 28 poles below the begin ning corner of lot No. 2; thence west 111 poles to a stake in Neill’s line; thence north 48 poles to a stake in the Avery tract line; thence west 34 poles to the beginning, containing 100 acress, more or less, and being the same land conveyed to D.

And 1921, in spite of a general business depression, was the biggest year in Studebaker’s 70 years’ history. This steady volume of business, plus the saviiigs resulting from Stude baker’s methods of complete manu facture, reduces manufacturing and selling costs. And it is a Studebaker policy of long standing to share these savings with the customer. Hence, the new low prices. That’s why you can buy a Stude baker Light-Six today at its new low price of $975—the lowest price for which it has ever sold and the lowest at which a car of such qual ity was ever offered. Only the price is reduced. Quality is better than ever. Stop in and see the Light-Six. Let us demonstrate its easy handling, its lack of vibration, its great com fort. Let us prove its endurance.
