SEQUOYAH THE NEW STATE
Why This Name Was Chosen to Des-
ignate the Former Indian
Territory.

In selecting the name Sequoyah for
the new state of what has hitherto been
the Indian territory, the statehood con-
stitutional committee has conferred
fitting and very proper honor upon one
of the leading members of the Cherokee
nation, who did NOR ethan anyone else
to advance the cause of education and
civilization among his tribe.
The name Sequoyah to-day is chiefly
associated with the big trees of Califor-
MIA, but when used as botanical name
the word is spelled Sequoia, says the
New York Times. Probably few per-
sons, however, know that Sequoyah,
from whom the mammoth trees were
named, and who is now to be honored in
the name of state. was the inventor of
the Cherokee alphabet. This famous In
dian, whose memory deserves to be bet
ter known, was born about 1850, and his
early life was spent in the village of
Tuskegee, Tenn. Among the white men
he bore the name of George Guess, and
as a young man was noted as success
full hunter and trapper. He possessed an
inventive turn of mind and was skill
full worker in silver ornaments.
On one of his hunting expeditions he
broke his leg, and during his enforced
idleness Sequoyah's attention was di-
rected toward devising an alphabet for
the Cherokee language. He realized the
Importance of written characters among
the white men, and after months of hard
work he submitted to the leading men
L. ;c Ix1ho hot -
IS characters.
Seuuoyah was laughed at, and even
his wife called him fool for spending
so much time in making queer charac-
tiers. He succeeded. however. in formu-
lating a list of characters expressing
every sound in the Cherokee tongue. 1t
was put to a severe test. The mission
aries among the Indians were quick to
appreciate its value. and about 1921
Seauoyah had the supreme satisfaction
of seeing his alphabet adopted by the
Cherokees. With minoS changes, Sc
quoyah's characters are in use to-day,
and educators have called his alphabet
one of the most perfect ever devised to
express any written language. Sc
quoyah died in 1913.
The first printing press to use Sc
quoyan's alphabet was set UP at New
Echota, in the Indian territory. and its
first issue was a copy of the Cherokee
Phoenix, published in February, 1898.
Within five years of the acceptance of
the alphabet, over 100000 pages of
Cherokee literature were printed in the
territory. Sequoyah lived to see many
beneficial results accrue from his inven-
ton, if such it can be called He was
made chief of his tribe and received
many high honors from the red men be-
fore his death. His remains are buried
In the future state that will bear his
name.

for the main tent, where they an
nounced that there were four cases of
fever in the menagerie tent, and That
settled 1t.
The mayor and police closed the
show on account of yellow fever, and
we couldn't get out of the tent. Pa
had been quite close to the yellow girls
and when he found out that yellow
fever was a disease that catches you
when not looking, and in 10 minutes
you look like a corpse, and in four
hours you are liable to be a sure
enough corpse, he shook the yellow
girls, and asked an old sailor what a
man ought to do who has been ex-
posed to yellow fever, and the old
sailor, who has mad yellow fever lots
of times, told pa to strip of his clothes
and take a bath of prepared mustard,
and rub it in thoroughly, and then
wipe it of, and take a vinegar rub, and
after that sprinkle a little red pepper
on himself, put on different clothes
and drink about gallon of red lemon
ade and he could defy yellow fever.
Pa is an easy mark and he believed
the old sailor, who is tattooed and
makes a show of himself with the
freaks, and pa took change OF clothes
and a bottle of mustard and a cruel
of vinegar and bottle of red pepper
and went into dressing room and got
behind a wagon and began to take the
cure the sailor had prescribed. don

Learn About Fertilizers.

Every farmer that has to use com
mercial fertilizers should make a study
of them. There is nothing more essen
tial in his farm work He should IN
derstand what are the elements OF
plant food and why he needs to buy
certain fertilizers and not certain 9TH
ers. This caution is needed badly, as
among the multitudes of retail ven
ders of fertilizers are many that are
selling farmers fertilizers that are OF
no value to them, though those same
fertilizers would be of value on other
farms. The retailer simply wants the
profit on his sale. This is not true OF
all, but is true of some. The farmer
must himself be able to Judge of his

ROOTS OF PLANTS.
What Has Been Learned by the In>
vestigator as to Their Rela-
tions to the Plants.

For long time the roots of plants
study is carried on, the more surpris-
ing are the results. All the theories
as to how plants should root have been
destroyed by the actual facts being
brought to light. Thus, it has been
assumed that plants that bear pods and
are assisted by tubercles on the roots
to gather nitrogen from the air would
be rather shallow rooters, but would
have large root system. On investi-
cation, says the Farmers Review. we
find that this is true in some plants
and not true in others. There seems
to be as great divergence of processes
of roofing in the leguminosae family
as in any others. Thus the alfalfa
plant sends down roots to an immense
depth, sometimes 80 and even 40 feet.
The clover root also goes deeply, often
three and four feet, while cow peas
and soy beans have very small root
systems. The clover will have three
times the amount of root that a COW
pea of the same volume will have.
When corn plants were dug up, all
the roots being saved, it was found
that they had surprising volume of
roots. Corn has always been consid-
cred a surface rooter. 1t sends out it's
roots near the surface, and 1t was
known that it sent down other roots
as far as the depth of the plowed soil,
generally seven or eight inches. But
when roots of the corn plant were fol-
lowed, it was found that they went
down as far as four feet, and that they
ranified through the soil in all direc-
lions.

know as it was right to do 1t, but about
the time pa had got to the red pepper
course and was sprinkling it on his
skin pretty thick, and he was begin
ming to get pretty hot, and was yell
ing a little, l told the chief of police,
who was LOOKING around with the
health officer for suspicious cases, that
there was a man acting sort of queer
behind the wagon that had piece OF
canvas over the wheels. They both
rushed in on pa and grabbed him.
Gee! but pa looked and smelled like
a plate of pigs feet and the doctor said
it was an unmistakable case of yellow
fever, he could tell by the smell, and
then pa turned pale and yellow from
fright, and they wrapped him up in
piece of canvas and took him away in
an emergency hospital ambulance, and
the whole show at once knew that we
were in for quarantine.
They burned up the suit Of clothes
pa took off and the one he was going
to put on, and the ambulance drove
away, while pa shook one fist at the
sailor and one at me, and his skin be-
gan to shrink and smart, and he yelled,
and the audience stampeded, and the
show was in the dumps.
We had to stay over Sunday in Ev-
ansville, and the show people were

to wait until he got well on his

times for luck, and then chase him out
