South Dakota Creates $311 New

Sioux Falls, Dec. 1.-THE recent

railroad shipments of agricultural
products from South Dakota, amount

state credit for it's actual new wealth

MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE PIN
Superstition of All Kinds Has Been
Gathered Around Humble House
hold Implement.

During the reign of James l., the
metal pins come into fashion. In 1917
a machine for producing entire pins
was invented by an American, Seth
Hunt, but it remained for Samuel
Wright Of Massachusetts, to patent
In 1924 the wonderful pin-making ma
chine which is generally used today.
A certain amount of witchery and
romance has always been associated
with the humble pin. In olden times
1t was regarded as q charm against,
and also as an implement of witch
craft. Witches were supposed to force
their victims to swallow pins, while,
on the other hand, pins stuck in the
heart Of an animal and carefully pre-
served were considered the appro-
pirate antidote to evil influences. In
Wales there existed a grim supersti-
ton that a toad pierced with pins
would cause the life of an enemy to
wither as the poor creature itself slow
ly died. In Russia it is considered
unlucky to meet a priest on leaving
house-a state of affairs which can
only be remedied by throwing a pin
at him; and in Iceland IL a man is
suspected Of walking after death,
pins and needles are thrust into the
feet of. the corpse.
Readers of romance win remember
how people were believed to be be
witched and led to lingering death by
regularly sticking pins into wax eff
yies of them. Even today in the bach
country favorite charm to make
the cream churn into butter is the
dropping Of hot pins into it.

Steam for the Soil

For a year or two past certain grow

lar vegetables for the London market
have been injecting steam into the soil
with view to destroying insects and
slugs. It is reported that the plan
works very well for that purpose, but
the operation brought to light an un-
expected fact-namely, that the soil
thus treated increased greatly in fer
tility; so greatly, indeed. that the ordi-
nary amount of manure cannot be
