An advertisement run in this paper
by the North Platte Auto Dealers
contained some Ideas that aro worth
considering. These men have a big
investment here and it is going to

cal business. They carry some gjod
cars. We would llko to own one of

Anothor of our friends bought a car

car perhaps but he is shy the ser
vico. The Auto Dealers are here all

money because no indlvldunl In tho
tribe owned anything personally. All
property belonged to the tribe as a
whole and none to any one person.
Later on when the tribes met there
arose tho custom of barter or trade,
the simplest form of which was the
exchange of articles possessed by ono
tribe for those owned by another. For
instance, some of the Australian tribes
had n rough green stone which was
valuable for muklng hatchets. Mem
bers of another tribe, seeing these
green stone hatchets naturally wanted
them. They had no money, as we.
know It today, but they hod red ochre
with which they painted their bodies.
TfcUB it developed that the tribe own
ing the green stones wanted some red
ochre, and each article; became a kind
of money each becume valuable for
trading purposes. .
It was necessary, however, to
await the developments of a "unit of
value" before money became elastic.
It required something valuable In the
eyes of these tribes. One of the
earliest forniB of this elastic money
was shells. The skins of anlmuls were
long used by savuge tribes as money,
but these could not be carried about
like shells. The skins, however, were
valuable In trading and fortunes were
reckoned by the number of skins
owned. As soon as animals became
domestlcuted the live unlmal Itself re
placed the skin as money.

note, according to the New York Sun.
"Found this in the 'K' mail box. It's

sumed his seat. It wasn't long beforo
Kloss, another fellow worker, came up

Mysteries of Nature.
One of the most mysterious powers
that close observation has revealed Is
the capacity of certain flshes and wa
ter animals to live out of the
water. Some small crustaceans have
been known to He for 40 years in dried
mud without losing tho power of ac
tively living when the mud was mois
tened ngain. A naturalist visiting
Jerusalem took a little mud from the
pool of Gihon, at the Jaffa gate, and
put It in a pill box. It lay dry for 40
years, but when some of tho dry dust
was put Into a saucer full of water
it gave rise after a short time to
some lively water lleas. The eel, as
Is well known, can travel through
damp grass. There Is a tropical fish,
known as tho climbing perch, which
has the very curious habit of scram
bling, by means of Its pectoral tins,
up stones, roots, and even the trunks
of trees, In search of Insects on which
It feeds. Still more surprising Is tho
habit of a South African fish, called
Clarlas, which Is said to make noc
turnal raids on the fields In order to
eat the grains of millet. Cincinnati
