Suppose the world agreed to drop
the subject for the next FIVE years If
such a thing were possible, which,
thank heaven, It isn't.
The theaters would close, for love Is
the theme of every play.
The magazines would suspend publ

readers are more. interested in the loves
of Phyllis than in articles on social
justice or treatises on railroad rates or
in "reminiscences of the Brownings.
A love story is more than a mental
relaxation; it is an inspiration for youth
and a happy forgetting for the old.
If Love became forbidden subject,
prose writer's and poets would have
nothing of interest to tell.
Every artist would be compelled to
abandon his studio and seek employ

If Love were considered the outlaw

Poultry and Live Stock Show

Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 80, the live
stock men and the poultry fanciers of
the state will have their annual meet
ing in Mitchell, continuing until Fri
day evening, February 2. The pre-
MUM list of the poultry fanciers was
issued last week, and contains some of
the best cash premiums and specials
ever put out by the state association.
The exhibition of the pedigreed chick
ems will be held in the auditorium of
the city hall, which will provide ample
space for the birds. 1t is expected
with good weather, the number of
entries will exceed any of the previous
state shows. The live stock men are
to begin their annual convention Tues
day evening, Jan. 80, and the follow
ing two days will be held the live stock
sale under the auspices of the state
association in the heated stock pavil-
lion. Sale will consist of cattle, horses
hogs and possibly some sheep, the con
tributions for the sale coming from
among the best breeders in the state.
These sales have been the means of
greatly improving the live stock in
South Dakota. The morning and even
ing sessions are to be devoted to the
presentation of papers on live stock
interests and the business matters.
Both the poultry fanciers and the live
stock men will take up the question Of
holding their convention in the same
week with the corn show and the
horticulture.

MATHEMATICAL SIGNS.
Process by Which These Familiar
Characters Were Evolved,

Characters Were Evolved.
The sign of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word plus"
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part of the "p" was placed
near the center; hence the plus sign
was finally reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word
was first contracted into mus, with a
horizontal line above to indicate the
contraction, which was a printers
freak that may be found In almost any
book bearing a date earlier than the
beginning Of the eighteenth century.
After the lapse of a long period Of time
the letters were omitted altogether,
leaving only the short line so well
known to all.
The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into a char
acter resembling the letter x. This
was done simply because multiplica
ton is but a shorter form of addition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above a horizontal
line and the divisor below. In order to
save space in printing the dividend
was placed TO the left and the divisor
to the right. with a simple dot in place
of each.
The radical sign was derived from
the initial letter Of the word 'radix.'
The sign of equality is said to have
first been used in the year 1857 by a
sharp mathematician. who adopted it
as a substitute for the words equal
