OrIuIn Of "Hoosler"

When the Indiana Society of Chi
cago held its annual outing and feed
June l. Charles Healy told new yer.
sion of how the term "Hoosier" came
to be applied to Indianians.
An old river pilot gave me the
story" said Mr.. Healy. land 1t sounds
pretty reasonable. In the early days
when Indiana was only sparsely set
tied along the southern border, most
of the trading was done in the Ken
lucky towns just across the river. Nat.
urally, when the settlers went to
town they cut up all sorts of capers
and one of the new stunts in chose
days was for man to jump up In
the air and try to kick his heels to-
gether twice before touching the
ground.
Zone day crowd of Indians settlers
arrived In town, and some one Of.
fered to bet that member Of the In
diana crowd couldn't kick his heels
together twice and say 'Hussar' two
times before coming down. He per.
formed the stunt all right, with the
exception of saying 'Hussar.' In his
excitement he mispronounced the
word and said 'Hoosier, Hoosier.
That's how the famous nickname orig
mated. according to the river pilot
and from that time on all Indiana PEG
pie were called 'Hoosiers.'

Trees that have been damaged by

damaged by fire. The leaves turn

forced to put out new growth Of

The slugs appear twice during the
year, and trees should be sprayed as
soon as they appear. They first make
their appearance about the middle Of
June, and the second appearance Is
about the third week in July.
Insect powder can be used against
these slugs by merely busting it over

noticed that the hour was late.
Pressed by hunger he asked to dine
at the convent. His smooth face, his
Roman facial expression, his ecclesi-

would also be of value in disturbing
the cocoons.
According to DR.. L. o. Howard,
chief Of the bureau Of entomology at
Washington, the slugs may be easily
washed off Of small trees by strong
stream of water applied from a gar.
den hose under heavy pressure. When
washed to the ground they are unable
to regain their places on the leaves.
Such measure as this would be quite
feasible on a small scale in cities, or
where water pressure Is available.
Spraying is undoubtedly the best
remedy for the pear slug. OF the two
generations the first is the harder to
combat, especially on cherry trees,
since the fruit is present on the trees
at about the same time that the slugs
are abundant. Consequently due care
must be taken in the use Of arsenical
poisons at that time. Arsenical poi.
sons may be used freely for the sec
ond generation in the late summer.
The pear slug is rarely destructive
in any locality for many years at a
time. This alternating abundance and
scarcity of the insect is due for the
most part to the activity of its natural
enemies, the most abundant of which
are TWO small egg parasites.

Babism was founded in Persia
about 1876, by Sayid Mira Ali. He
took the name of Beb-ed-din (the gate
of the faith). whence he became
known as the ''Bab.' and his disciples
as the ''Babis." The Bah. who during
his life maintained the highest reputa.
ton for purity and gentleness of char
acter, was murdered at Tabriz. July s.
1850. 1t will be impossible to give
here anything like an intelligent &C
count Of the teachings of Babism. In

CUTTING GOLF
BALL DANGEROUS

Bismarck, N. d.. June 10.--Since the
Country club at Bismarck opened its
golf grounds it has just been discover
ed that 1t is dangerous to cut open al
golf ball. One or two of the caddies
have found this to be true, and in one
instance a. boy nearly lost his eye,
sight when he cut open one of the
balls with a Jack knife. An explosion
followed that might have disfigured
him for life. Medical Journals have
called attention to- the ~danger#of cut
ing open golf balls because the balls
contain what is incorrectly called a
"water-core.. IN most cases this
core consists OF d rubber bag filled
with various heavy fluids such as
hy~drochloric acid, solution of zinc
chloride, caustfc soda, and other
dangerous causterants. Ribbon or
Irvine is wound around the core by
machinery, and In the process the con-
tents Eof the bag are subjected to such
heavy pressure that when d bail

a Vacuum Road Cleaner.

Consul General John L. Grifiths,
London, Eng: Delegates from
municipalities in all parts of Europe
recently attended a demonstration in
London of d new system Of road
cleaning by a patent dustless motor
Vacuum road-cleaning machine. The
road cleaner has been adopted, 1t is
stated by various foreign municipali-
ties. 1t consists Of a suction machine
containing a stiff brush which revolves
at great speed close to the ground,
thus creating the suction necessary to
remove every particle Of dust, mud or
refuse in the road over which 1t
passes. The refuse is automatically
deposited in a covered bin at the back
of the car, and the suction is so great
that mud is Withdrawn from the
crevices between the stone blocks with
which some roads are laid. Some Cf
the muddiest parts Of the city were
used for the purpose of showing the
efficiency Of the machine. Paper
tickets and coins, as well as dirt, were
gathered up by the road cleaner, leav-
ing the surface of the road absolutely
clean.
This machine, in the opinion of the
municipal engineers from various
parts Of England. is described as the
most perfect device for road-cIeaning
purposes yet discovered. "

INDIAN FAIR
AT FORT Yates

Fort Yates, N. d., June 10.-It has
been decided to hold another Indian
fair at Fort Yates again this year,
and the dates have been set for Sep
TENDER % to. 81 inclusive, and ex-
tensive arrangements are already be-
ing made for the big event. The of
ficers selected are:
President-William Gaylon.
Secretary-Ignatius Ironwood.
Treasurer-Asa Little Grow.
At the first fair which was held last
the Indians proved that they
could raise splendid vegetables, and
they also had some splendid breeds
of horses and stock on exhibition. The
girls and women have also improved
with fancy work and other art specl-
mems and their exhibits will be no
small part of the show this year.
The sports will also be enlarged
upon, and some of the most interest
ing features will be broncho BUSTING
of steers, Indian dances and
races. So realistic is this wild west
show that it is predicted that more
white people than ever will be in at
tendance this year.
