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.

The Lights Six
So far this year Studebaker has
built and sold more cars than dur
ing the entire year of 1921. 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.
Then drive it yourself.
Cowl lights; cowl ventilator; high-grade, nickel-plated combination robe

May mean weeping in smoke or in sadness viewing the
ruins of your home.
But Insurance shows business ability. Means sat
isfaction in protection. Means Contentment of mind.
Means the saving of a lifetime’s earnings. Means the
comfort of old age.
Destruction has visited your neighbor and our
neighboring town — It awaits us.
Insure while it waits — tomorrow may be too late.
