herself for a fight with Germany.
The Boston Irish are alarmed lest the
President, in his enthusiasm over peace
between this country and the English
people. go too far. They think the Amer
lean people will be bound to fight Ger
many if England ever does. Members of
Congress are asked, too, by the Irishmen
TO oppose any arbitration treaty with
England.

Rust Comes From Inside

r. j. Pritchard, of the United States
department of agriculture, while work
ing with experiments of sugar beets at
the Brookings agricultural college, put
the finishing touches on a very import
ant discovery. While at the college,
with the assistance of Professor Oliver,
he has made very important discovery
concerning the rust of wheat. He has
found that the fungus threads of the
rust parasite are present in the grain,
and when the grain is terminated the
rust grows up into the plant. In other
words, he has discovered that rust of
wheat is an interior and not an exterior
disease or condition.
The discovery is very important and
of great economic significance, for by
the proper selection of seed IL is now
thought that the rust can be obviated.
While Professor Pritchard has not abso-
lutely proved that the rust fungus
grows inside the developing plant finally
coming to the surface to form the well
known rust postules, his theory appears
very reasonable.

Elk For the Hills

Efforts are being made by the Dead
wood lodge of Elks to secure a herd of
elk from Wyoming for the Black Hills.
This movement commenced nearly a
year ago, when it was first taken up
with Congressman Martin. Mr.. Martin
assured the local men that he would
exert every effort in Washington to
secure the animals, but that first the
state legislature must pass a law
creating closed season in South
Dakota for elk before the government
would consider the proposition. This
was done by the last legislature, and
now the governors of both Wyoming
and South Dakota are being urged to
use their influence to have elk brought
from the Jackson Hole county to the
Black Hills, and from present indi-
cations the local Elks will be successful.
