Tooth PulIer's Bad Reputation.

ITO lie like tooth puller" Is In
lie Roux de Lincy's Book Of French
Proverbs" (Paris 1850, quoted from
the Dictionary Of the French Acad-
emy" (1835). The tooth puller In
those days was often a wandering
mountebank who drew crowd by tell
ing Rabelaislan stories and indulging
In horseplay. He sold qnack medi-
cines, and, of course, lied prodigiously-
Lannelongue's explanation of the ori-
gin is more amusing, though IL Is so
circumstantlal that 1t breeds suspi-
cion. Furthermore-and this Is con-
clusive-"to lie like tooth drawer
is in Phllibert Joseph lie Roux's pic
tionnaire Comique" (Amsterdam 17lS)
with this comment, "No one lies more
Outrageously than a tooth drawer,
who promises not to hurt, which IS
not possible" And lie ROux quotes
Poissons' one act play, THE Basque
Poet" (166S), "But all Of you lie like
like tooth pullers."

DAIRY PRODUCTS OF
STATE WORTH $4,000. .OOt

Brookings, S. D.-Figures gathered by
the state dairy expert show that last
year in the State of South Dakota there
were produced approximately 955, 900,
900 pounds of milk worth ia round mum
bers $50, 600, 600. This represents an
increase in the milk production of 80
per cent in the last five years. In order
to transport last years production OF
milk it would require p ,0O0 freight cars,
each with a capacity of 10000 pounds
This would make 200 trains of 20 cars
each.
Last year %, ,j6S 1924 pounds of cream
cry butter were made from South Da-
kota cream as against 22,2l9, 962 pounds
in 1914. In addition 10 the creamery
butter il is estimated that there were
6 300, 900 pounds of dairy butter manu-
iactured in 1919.
The ice cream business is increasing
still more rapidly, having increased from
value of S270, 900 in 1914 to better than
million dollar industry in 1919.

scrlnt or Print Wrltina2

There is a movement in England to
abolish script writing and replace II
by print writing. The characters used
in the proposed system are the ordi-
nary printed letters known as the Ro-
man block letters with the exception
Of "a" and e." which are simplifed
into their script forms. Print char
acters were used centuries ago by
monks before script writing became
the fashion. Advocates of the pro-
posed reform claim that 1t has many
advantages over ordinary handwrt-
ing. particularly In that the child
learns much more quickly. Many Brit
ish educational authorities favor print
writing and it Is taught in numerous
British schools. There Is no waste OF
time on the innumerable joinlngs Of
letters, and superfuous loops and
fourishes are abolished. At least one
big London firm has adopted the 5ys-

General Wood Unqualifedly Endorses the

Maj. Gen Wood, in a statement al
Chicago last week, declared he heartily
endorsed the nominee of the republican

Wood, who conferred with Senator

Until few years ago the people OF
many western states opposed the leas
ing of public lands for the purpose OF
developing their resources As a result
since 1909 their resources have been tied
up by withdrawal orders removing from
development great areas in practically
all of the western states, according to
the statement of Representative Guy u
Hardy, of Colorado. "ro gain relief
from this situation the representatives
Of public land states in Congress adyo.
Gated a bill covering the coal, phosphate,
oil, oil shale, gas and sodium lands on
the public domain, says representative
Hardy. democratic Congresses strug
gled with the question for six years
without being able to write upon the
statute books any law which would per-
init the development Of such lands. 1t
is to the credit of the present Congress
that such a law has been enacted. I'm
der it's provisions is afforded an oppor-
tunity to develop the resources of the
West which have been practically de-
MED for number of years.
