OAXACA CITY. Mexico. Feb 18.
(/Pi—Prof. Alfonso Caso and rus

completed the second season's work
on Monte Alban and departed lor
Mexico City to catalog and study ix -
suits of .he past four months work.
The most important phases of th*
exploration work, resulted this year
in the discovery and opemng ot 2fi
new tombs, none of which revealed
any such sensational .‘mrt a hat
yielded lats year bv Tomb No 7.
In which rich jewels and golci*i
ornaments were found.
Light On Origin
Caso pointed out. however, that
from an archaeological viewpoint,
tomb 33. recently opened, was per
haps more important than No. 7 lor
tt was of far greater age than oth
er tombs, and bones and relics lound
within it may throw some light on
tch mysterious Zapotcan Indian
origin
The “key" to the link between ail
American civilizations. Mixtecan,
Zapotecan. Mayan. Incan and per
haps Mongolian remains as yet un
discovered unless more cartful
study of contents of tomb 33 throws
some light on this mystery.
Prof Caso. considering Monte Ai
lwn the crossroads of the greaf
ancient American civilization .
hopes to find the longsought key
to unravel the mystery of the ori
gins and relations of these Great de
parted ivilizatioas that ruled long
before the coming of the conooer
ors, perhaps even before Christ
l.xaet Time Unknown
While the pottery lound in tomn
33 is of very ancient archaic style
believed to date Ion: Ch. t
Caso is not yet witling to fix the
time of the tomb and burial m
which the bones of a little girl were
found.
All oi the tombs excavated th.s
year were rectangular chambers
built of smooth stone. None were
as large as tomb 7. Doorway* near

The International Harvester Co.
1933 Crop Price Guaranty Plan
Seventy cents a bushel for No. 2 hard wheat.
Chicago delivery, 45 cents a bushel for No. 2 yellow
corn. ('hieago. and 8 1-2 cents a pound for middling
cotton. New Orleans—these |ra **~~ figures of
International UaxvaaAer^ crop price guaranty offrr
to farmers, applying to a substantial porti«« of their
payments made during 1933 on this year's Archases.
The plan has been enlarged over the 1S2 plan
so as to cover all farm machines except repair parts
and motor trucks.
The Company in announcing its 1933 p^n says:
“We believe that present crop prices will show a
gradual improvement, and we also believe t^at if the
farmer is assured a fair price for his 193$ crops he
will purchase the implements which he i|reds. We
have decided, therefore, to give American ^griculture
again, as we did in 1932. the assurance of $ fair price
for wheat, com and cotton on this ycar'f purchases
of equipment from us in so far as 1933 payments
therefor are concerned."
Whrre the purchase amounts to S130.0© or more
and the farmer s note maturing this year represents
not more than 40 per cent of the purchase price,
there will be endorsed on the note the equivalent
number of bushels of wheat computed at 7t cents per
bushel, for No. 2 hard wheat. If the avemge < hi
cago quotation at maturity of the note is less than
70 cents per bushel, the purchaser will be wedited
We will be glad to send a
representative to see those
who are interested. Just mail
the coupon at the right to us
today. This does not obligate
you.
with the price differential multiplied by the number
of bushels shown on the note, provided the remain
der of the note is paid in rash within ten days of
maturity.
Where the purchase amounts to levs than $150.00
and the note represents not more than 80 per rent
of the price, and the Chicago market wheat price at
maturity of the note is less than 70 cents per bushel,
the farmer will be credited with one-half thr price
differential per bushel, multiplied by the rumbrr of
bushels endorsed on the note, provided the remain
der of the note is paid in cash within ten days of
maturity.
The wheat price guaranty plan will be generally
used throughout the country but in territories where
corn or cotton is the principal money crop and prac
tically no wheat is grown, either the corn price
guaranty will be applied at 45 cents per bushel for
No. 2 yellow. Chicago, or the cotton price guaranty
plan at 8 1-2 cents a pound. New Orleans for mid
dling cotton.
The company reserves the right to take delivery
at the specified price of any portion of the com
modity involved in any transaction, if available at
the time of payment. It also reserves the right to
withdraw the offer or to readjust the terms in case
of governmental action materially affecting prices of
the f.rops in question.
