ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS states
" are represented In a crusade
which the lawmakers and school au-
thorities Of the country are waging
against the high school f%raternities,
according to the United States bureau
OF education. OF these, 10 states have
passed legislative enactments hostile
to the secret orders, while the school
boards of important cities in the other
IL states have adopted like measures
within their own Jurisdiction.
All states having laws on the sub
Ject provide a penalty of suspension
or expulsion from school for all those
who join these orders. The most
drastic laws We're passed by Iowa,
Minnesota and Nebraska, whose legis-
latures made it a misdemeanor for
any n even to solicit members to
these organizations. Michigan and
Ohio made it a misdemeanor for a
school officer to fail or refuse to carry
out the anti-high school fraternity law.

joining the grounds for this purpose,
and Fair visitors will be given pass

Paul ~Studensky, the crack Russian
aviator who has made many new rec
ords in mail carrying, is expected to
pilot u of the biplanes at the South
Dakota State Fair. S~tudensky was
born of well-to-do Russian parents
and educated in the Imperial Rus
sian University at st. Petersburg.
A youthful love affair with a girl Of
high rank brought forth the dis
pleasure of the Gar, so he found it
almost necessary to leave his coun-
try. In order to recoup his exhaust
ed resources he took to flying on the
continent. His excellent record In
the Bleriot School at Etampes
brought him many high honors, and
he soon found himself in demand in
America. He Is now in this country,
one Of the best educated men in avia-
ton. His work with the Beech-Na-
tional biplane is marvellous. No one
in South Dakota can afford to miss

Chinese Sending Many Fake Antiques

DITCH Americans are being fooled on
N Chinese antiques, according to
tips sent to Washington by United
States consuls at Hongkong and other
Far East ports. Since the revolution
began there has been a craze in Amer
lea and Europe for souvenirs, and the
fad has been fed on the stories that
royal and other Chinese palaces were
being looted.
The chief limitations are in porce-
lains and brass. ancient Chinese and
Japanese armor and weapons, old
Corean carved chests and old carved
furniture. Seven large new shops
dealing exclusively In fakes have been
opened in the last year in the prin-
Sipal shopping thoroughfare of Hong
kong. There are 10Y regular auction
sales Of bogus p~orcelains. Similar i'm
itations of ancient brasses and
bronzes, worries, lacquers and other
art objects are sold. The tourists

one of which upholds the school au-

the high school fraternity, on the
ground that the measures so taken

courts cited, however, will not allow
the offending pupils to be barred from

be barred from participating in all

aid, was chosen from the medical
branch OF the army service. He is
AZ years old and unmarried, like all

Until recently Major Rhoads served
on the medical staff of the Walter
Reed General hospital, near Bright
wood, a suburb Of Washington city.
His duties there naturally kept him
FROM mingling much in the social life
of the capital and restricted the range
of his acquaintances. But that restric-

NEW SCENT PIECE DESIGNS
Figure of American Buffalo on One Side; on Other, Head of
 an Indian.

New York, Nov 6.-The classical features of Miss Liberty are as coldly beautiful as ever, but under the rul ng of the treasury department they no longer will decorate the useful nickel"
 A new design, which leaves out the Grecian maid, has been drawn by James Earl Fraser, American sculp tor, and has been approved by the secretary of the treasury and by the national art committee
 It needs only the nod of President Taft to become the official design oi the 5-cent piece.
 Hereafter one will pay car fare and other necessary and unnecessary out lay with a 5-cent piece bearing the fig ure of the American buffalo on the one side and on the other an Indian head of less conventional design than that on the old-fashioned copper"
 There will be no large ''V" on eith CT side, but modest "5 Cents," to show the denomination.
