THURSEAY, 0CT02EH 27, 1921. 7 AGE SIX They represent a part of the files of a record office in or near the city of Tebtunis in Egypt, and were dis covered about four months ago. They are written on papyrus; chie- y in the Greek language, only a few being in Demotic. They were probably covered with sand soon after the rec ord office fell into ruin, and with few exceptions are perfectly preserved. The earliest document is dated in the year 7 A. D. It contains the sig nature of a woman who agreed not to bring any claim against her broth ers. The next earliest, also dated in the reign of Augustus, is a contract of common law marriage. Among the other documents are contracts of sale, covering both per sonal and real property, farm lands and vineyards, as well as houses. There are also leases, agreements re garding loans, a contract of indem nity, receipts for wages, a receipt for dowry, official orders, petitions to public officials, tax receipts, accounts and documents relating to the trans fer of ownership of slaves and part of a register of deeds. From ten to fifteen years of steady work will be required to properly in terpret and explain these documents in their relation to the life and his tory of the Roman empire in the time of the Apostles.

Town'.ey organiza tion which has controlled North Da kota in executive, legislative and ju ducial departments of government since 191S. aces an acid test in the r'call election to be held Friday. Curiously enough, it is the Nonparti :;tn leaders who are called upon to defend a recall election, a theory of rTate g .v.'ernmont whic'.i was estao i: .hf.l in North Dakota only after strenous objection by the faction row making use of it. Lynn J. Frazier. governor; Wil liam Eamke. attorney general, and J. N. Hasen. commissioner of labor, are the state oi!.c:aU who will be ousted from office if the election is won by the Independent Voters as sociation. When the Townley league first captured the lower house cf the leg islature in 1910. it was opposed on the grounds that it would bankrupt the state, with its so-called visionary schemes, among which was a revis ion of the state constitution. The league scrapped the constitution and put in a new one. Th league was built nprm the pro position that the milling and elevat or interests, associated with North Dakota and Twin City bankers and th-? Minneapolis Chamber of Com merce, had robbed farmers by the u-a of grain grades. I. V. A. leaders a-sert that their strength will be maintained in the ci ies and that they will carry sev er"! iip-.t;ite counties, enough to de feat the league. League leaders are as confident that they will hold the country. The Hani- of North Dakota, thru which practically all the league en terprises, including the state mill, the home building association and st.'.te owned elevators, have ben fi nancd. is th issu around which the recall election is being fought.
