MANY THINGS SIMILAR.

MANY THINGS SIMILAR.
 "There is also a similarity of the chronological system of the Aztec and Asiatic nations-the analogies found in funeral rites, disposal of the dead, etc, the pyramidal con- structions adjusted to the cardinal points, a qualified cannibalism, a remarkable similarity in social customs, also the ceremony and decoration of the Aztec court, and above all, the sacredly guarded and recorded tradition of a western origin.
 "Ethnical or racial analogies are not wanting, but students in the physical field have been hindered 1 in their work by the almost total absence of crania known absolutely to be Aztec.
 DISCOVERS AZTEC CRANIA.
 "I have discovered the much sought Aztec crania. Early in 1910 excavations were made within the atrium of the great cathedral, on the plaza Mayor in Mexico City, almost directly in front of the grand portal or south entrance. At d considerable depth was uncover ed a large quan tity of human re- mains, which, after careful study, was pronounced to be Aztec, up- ward of 400 years old. Photographs of the bodies were made, careful measurements taken and number of skeletons collected and pre- served.
 "The soil upon which stands the City of Mexico is of black muck, in greater part the bed of the ancient lake, and like the hogs of Ireland, the bony structure of men and ami mals as we'll as certain kinds of wood. when buried in it, are inde- fnitely preserved.
 VISITS UNKNOWN CITIES.
 "I have visited the sites of buried cities in Mexico hitherto unvisited by modern investigators, or at least of which no record appears to have been made, and have secured amulets and carvings of jade, taken from ancient tombs, of eastern workmanship, and without doubt it is the precious jade, or yuk, of Khoteux. Jade, emblematical of the virtues, was valued above all other precious stones, both by ! Asiatics and the ancient Mexicans. "I differ from some authorities as to the antiquity of the ruins of Palanque, Mitla, Uxmal, Cholulu, , etc. They do not, in my opinion, greatly antedate the Christian era. Now as to the tincture of Christian ] ity discernable shining among the rites and ceremonies of Toltec and { Aztec: It matters not if the tradi,
 tion that the Apostle Thomas car ried Christianity into China. we know that Christianity was there at a very early date, as early as Z the year 505, brought thither by the Nestorian monks; that it flour 1, ished there and came very neal o the universal acceptance by tht Chinese people, especially during :, the Tang dynasty GA.

Mexico in the sixteenth century were amazed to find the cross raised and venerated; also form of Eucharist, baptism, confession, penance and abs0lution.
 SIMILARITY IN RITES.
 "I find marked similarity in some of the Aztec rites and those protesting Nestorianism in Asia at almost the same date. We have in Mexico the tradition of Quetzal. coatl. He was foreigner (fair), who came from the east and who, after presiding over the golden age of Anahua.' left the country prom ising to return. Was he from China-a Nestorian refugee.?"

PAYS NEIGHBORLY CALL

On Tuesday Brookings enjoyed a
visit from members of the Watertown
auto club and business men of that
city. They were making a tour Of the
cities of this section, coming down by
way of Hayti, Norden, Arlington and
Volga and returning through Estelline
and C~astlewood. The autoes number
ed about fifteen and contained seventy
people. They were expected to reach
here for dinner and about twenty
Brookings autoes went over to Volga
to escort them to this city, but they
were behind schedule time and did
not get to the west side city until
after twelve o'clock. Volga treated
them very Hospitality, giving a nice
program in the opera house and serv-
ing ice cream and cake. The party
reached Brookings shortly before two
o'clock and were taken to the CONNER
cial club rooms and afterward enter
tanned at dinner. At the club a short
musical program was given under the
direction of Prof. Hedge, and talks
were made by Vi~ce-President Culhane
Of the club, and w. H. Stokes of

BOARD REFUSES TO HELP

The county commissioners last week
turned down the request for financial
assistance in preparing the Brookings
county exhibit for the state fair. Nc
good reason is apparent for this
action, as the exhibit to the state fair
is OF importance to every citizen OF
the county and there was general re-
joicing last year when we landed the
first prize. II the county has an ex
hibit this year the expense will have
to be met by a few pu~blic-spirited citi
zens and II we win the whole country
will get the benefit and glory.

hee and j. M. Galloway, who immed-
lately took charge and will continue
the business in the same location
The new owners are experienced
grocerymen and will conduct the
business by modern methods.
Mr.. Mullikin, who recently re-
moved his grocery department from
the location on West Fourth avenue,
in order to have more room for his
dry goods, clothing and shoe depart
ments, has found his business in
creasing so rapidly for the past
several years that he states it is
impossible for him to personally look
after the bushes after it's removal
to the new location and hereafter
will give all of his attention to the
department store at Main street
and Fourth avenue.
Mr. Mullikin came here almost a
dozen years ago and opened a gen.
eral store. Through his business
ability and courtesy he has found 1t
necessary at different times to en-
large his business until there was
no more room to expand. The gro
Gerry department was then moved to
a separate location and the space
formerly occupied by 1t given over
to the dry goods and clothing de-
partment. He is one of the city's
most progressive citizens and his
big department stohe is monument
to his business ability.

PROBLEM OF THE COTTON BALE.

Cotton is a product that is subject
to innumerable vicissitudes from the
planting of the seed to the making
of the fabric.
It may successfully pass the ha-
cards of seed time and harvest and
still have a perilous road before it
even when packed into bales. This
fact was amplified by DR.. B. T. Gal
loway, chief of the Federal bureau
of plant industry, in recent state
ment as follows:
It seems to be generally agreed
that the present tare taken on Ameri-
can cotton is excessive; but the de-
plorable condition of the American
cotton bale is largely responsible.
The American cotton planter must
be educated up to the fact-and it

to do this-that he can not expect
the best possible prices for his pro-
duct as long as the buyer must tear
a half dozen holes in the cover to
determine the quality Of the product
within.
Not only is it desirable that the
cotton be uniformly packed, but also
that the bales be Of uniform size.
D1. Galloway estimates that If this
could be brought about It would be
the saving OF millions Of dollars to
the cotton farms.
The government is to undertake
a campaign of education. It deserves
to be a success, but It undoubtedly
represents Hercu'ean task for the
reason that it depends on the CO.
