VIOLIN ALWAYS THE. SAME
For Centuries Shape and Substance of
That Tuneful Instrument Have
Not Been Altered.

Even in this age of hustle and
change, some few of the old standbys
remain unchanged but at that it is
rather startling to realize that the VIC
lin, probably the best loved of all mu.
steal instruments, has remained virtu-
ally unchanged in shape or substance
for three centuries. In that time the
harpsichord lutte and spinet kave pass
ed away, the harp has been Improved
The piano has been invented and de.
velOped, but the violin, which took
hundred years to assume it's present
form, since the days of the great Stra-
dwarf, the worlds most famous VIC
lin maker. has remained unchanged.
The violin is popularity supposed to
date from the days Of the ancient In
dams, but the present instrument had
its beginning back in the days of the
troubadours, who used musical boxes
called violes or guital fiddles. And as
the years went by the little violes were
improved. The shape was altered; bit
by bit the instrument changed. Now
a bridge was added; now a waist;
openings on either side of the bridge
were added.
And from 1860 to 1860 the violin in
dustry rose to its greatest achieve
ments in the developments of Amati.
Guarneri, and Stradivari, Italian vio-
lin makers living in the town of Gre
mona. Since their time there has been
no change, and the finest and most
priceless musical instrument of today

Bamboo Grass.

The giant bamboo grass Of Japan
and China grows at the rate Of two
feet day in some instances, and
sometimes to the height Of $50 feet
and diameter of two feet. A clump
is planted and it widens over the land
scape with remarkable rapidity. The
bamboo takes the place Of steel and
iron to great extent in China and
Japan. The farmer uses it to build
his house and fence it; his household
furniture is manufactured from 1t, and
the tender shoots furnish him with a
delicious vegetable for his table. It,
supplies framework for awnings, ribs
of sails and handles Of rakes, material
for the chicken cOops and bird cages,
Stuffing for pillows and mattresses,
c}opsticks for eating. pipes for smok-
ing. brooms for sweeping, Chairs to

lnvestigational and extensienal; those
OF the department pertain exclusively
to the business or service side of agri-
culture. There is no conflict between
the two; on the other hand, their duties
coordinate and cooperate easily and
effectively. One is really the compile
ment Of the other.
Il Cooperative movements in Mime
sofa find in the department an agency
whereby they receive guidance in organi-
cation, support and d rection in carry
ing on their various lines of cooperative
effort, and positive assistance in extend
ing their influence. When it is stated
that there are more than three thousand
such associations in this state, it is evil
dent that the legislature acted wisely
in granting their official recognition and
support in the new cooperative law and
the new department.
Like all new pieces of machinery, the
department must be tried out and later
modified and broadened to meet the
service which agriculture demands, as
the greatest industry in this state. With
the cooperation of Minnesota agricul-
turalsts, this is easily possible and the
department will then fully meet the
of those interested in agri-
cultural development in Minnesota.

THE HIGH COST OF CLOTHES

It is not only the food that has gone
up in cost about hundred per cent,
the cost of clothing for men, women and
children also has almost doubled in the
last five years. In statistical report
Just published, the National Industrial
Conference Board compares the figures
in March, 1919, with those in 1914. But
we have to bear in mind that the March
figures do not conform to present con-
ditions because, as everybody knows,
prices have gone up considerably during
the last few months, and higher prices
are promised for the months to come.
In offering the figures we do not
vouch for the correctness Of these
itemized prices or expenditures. In some
instances they seem rather conservative,
but evidently the National Industrial
Conference Board based it's conclusions
on the needs and buying capacity of the
workingman or working woman with
small wages.
The mans yearly budget for clothing,
according to the Industrial Conference
Board, is as followss

SIGHT WELL WORTH SEEING
Canyons of Southern California at
Times Furnish Spectacles Nothing
Short of Remarkable.

The spectacle of rain, fire and flood
all occurring at the same time, is not
an unusual sight in some of the cam
yOns near Los Angeles, says the Scien-
tific American. The most notable e1-
ample is near Santa Monica, which is
OF the southern coast Of California
The PERCEPTIONS sides of the canyons
debauching into the Pacific ocean in
that vicinity are composed of clay and
shale. Whenever rain falls on these
rocks, great clouds Of steam rise from
the canyons. The canyon crests and
faces are crowned by vitrified rock
yurned a dull red.
1t is reported by the early hista-
rians that when the Mission fathers
visited this region $50 years ago the
natives avoided these places. They
claimed that these mysterious canyons
Nere the abode of evil spirits and the
indians could not be induced to guide
. ssle priests to their vicinity.
Actual flame has also been reported
in one of these canyons. Hence the
occasional newspaper accounts Of &C
tive volcanoes" near the coast of Cal
ffOrnia. The phenomena are evident
~ due to fires in the petroleum-bear-
ins shales which crop out in these re-
certain. They may be started by light
ming or they may be case of sponta-
neous combustion.

The Moroccan encampment. whether
it is military or that of some travelling
band, is always picturesque, Elsie F.
We'll writes in Asia Magazine. The
tents of persons Of distinction are oft
en- surmounted with copper balls and
decorated With arabesques of cloth.
Camping is fine art in Morocco,
where the roads are almost impass-
able, and the chief means of trans
portation is by caravan.
All day one rides across the great
plains, prodigally covered with iris,
daffodils, daisies buttercups and wild
lavender. Perhaps a wild band Of
horsemen will gallop by, their robes,
sea green salmon colored and blue;
streaming in the wind, their horses
richly caparisoned like those of some
crusading king. Occasionally one skirts
little village built of mud and waffle
and surrounded by fields of wheat and
barley. Here and there the white
domed shrine of some saint rises Sc
renely above the plain And at sun
down the shepherds. playing on their
reed flutes drive their focks of sheep
and goats home from pasture.
Then it is time to pitch the tents

ORIGIN OF DOOR KNOCKERS
ample Proof That The, antedate
Western Civilization by Many

The origin of door-knockers is al
most lost in obscurity, and their deyel-

objects Of art has been long, slow

ries and antedating western civiliza-
ton by many hundreds of years.
The first general use of knockers
that is positively known was among
The ancient Greeks, who probably
adopted them from the Egyptians. We
are told that the Greeks considered
IT a breach of good manners to enter
house without warning the inmates,
and that the Spartans gave this notice
~ shouting their arrival. while the
Afhenlans announced themselves by
using the knocker. It's introduction
doubtless came at the time when doors
superseded hangings. for the purpose

Striking the monotony of the duty
anG IN order to awaken them a short
bar OF iron was fastened to the door
by chain, to be used as a rapper by
those desiring entrance to the house.
1t is said that this strictly utilitari-
an rapper, as it was first called. was
often wrenched from the door to be
used as weapon of offense by visitors
who were not friendly disposed toward
the householder A later development
was direct consequence of this mis-
use, the next type being in the form
OF heavy ring fastened by a strong
clamp or plate to the door, thus serv-
ing the double purpose of knocker and
handle.
From Greece the custom was trans,
ferred to the Romans, and with the
western trend Of early civilization to
nearly every country of Europe. The
introduction of knockers to England,
where together with Italy and Ger
many they have attained the greatest
artistic development, was no doubt due
to the Roman conquest Of western Eu-
rope and Britain.-Architectu

many herds are free from tuberculosis
has a very definite bearing on Pub ic

tuberculosis in cattle will also mean a

THE MEANING FOR FREEDOM.


Thou art, not as imposters say,
a shadow soon to pass away
a superstition and name
Echoing from the cave Of fame.
For the laborer thou art bread
And a comedy table spread,
From his daily labor come s
In neat and happy home.
Thou art clothes, and fire, and food,
For the trampled multitude;
No in countries that are free,
Such starvation can not be
As in England now We see.
