F.. G. Adams, secretary Of the state
historical society, and E. B. Cowgirl
have gone to Republic county where
citizens think they have discovered traces
of an old Pawnee Indian village that was
visited by Captain e. N. Pike in 1906:
Captain Pike was sent thru this part of
the country by President Jefferson to ex-
plore it shortly after the Louisiana pur
chase was made and published account
of his travels. Some of the citizens of Re
public county think they have located the
old village from the account of it in the
book.

is THIS TRUE?

Although American consuls have
legally no right to refuse visas except
to anarchists or enemy aliens, at is
clearly evident even to the casual OBJ
server that anti-Semitism is rampant
at the Visa Office and at most Of the
American consulates abroad This
charge appears in an article by Reu-
ben Fink in The Nation for June %.
1t is of course very difficult, if not
impossible, to prove conclusively the
charge of official anti-Semitism. But
if there is anything Of which many
Jews in America or at least many
American Jews who have relatives
abroad are convinced, it is that the
Visa Office has shown clear and I'M
mistakable prejudice against the Jew
ish immigrant. Slowly but surely its
regulations have been so Unanswered
as to effect practically and only the
Jewish immigrant.
This discrimination is particularly
apparent in the official scrutiny of
applicants with Lithuanian, Latvian,
Ukrainian or Russian passports, or
those who present passports of any
government but their own. In Poland,
where it was formerly possible to OBJ
tain visas more easily than in these
other countries, new visa chief has
promulgated regulations which partly
exclude Polish Jews also. The appli-
cant is given so-called "red ticket"
with number" on it. This number
signifies the postponement of the ap-
plicant for the visa for from three to
twelve months. In other words, his
visa will be decided only at the ex-
piration Of that term. II is quite evil
dent and it was admitted by some
confidants, that this was intended
simply to put off the Jewish immi-
grafton bill until the time when the
new immigration bill would come into
force and thus preclude their entry
into the United States.
For thousands of Jews to whom all
these conditions have been matters of
common knowledge, who found in
America for the first time religious
and political liberty, the erection of a

been fraught with personal tragedy.
But the individual suffering is COM
paratively unimportant. More seri-
Gus, and of concern to all Americans,
is the abolition of the Old America as
the haven Of refuge for the oppressed
Of all lands.

COMPOST HEAP MADE

Organic Rubbish OF All Kinds
Especially Suitable.

liable for Hotbeds.

Garden waste, decayed vegetables,
dead vines, weeds, and the organic
rubbish that collects about the place
during busy summer may be cleaned
up and put TO work again through the
agency of a compost heap, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. Start the heap
by laying down a bed of stable ma
nure which has not been burned or
heated. The size of the plot will vary
with the amount of refuse TO be used
for ordinary uses, IL the bed is made
eight feet long by six feet wide and
two feet deep il will serve the pur-
pose. Over the manure spread two
foot layer of refuse and cover with
another layer of manure. This last
layer need be only a foot in thickness.
If II is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material emp
tied into the hole thus made. This is
convenient for the suburban home
where there is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste. In the spring the
heap is well mixed with fork and
the compost Is ready to be spread on
the garden plot. The heating manure
will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the
structure of most of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile.
The process may be continued indefi-
nitely by simply adding enough ma
nure to insure heating. Compost is
especially valuable for use In hotbeds
and cold frames.

Natures Wise Restriction.

Every fellow with any Ego" to him
wants to do what he wants to. We
might also add that he wants to do
what he wants to when he wants to.
But very often that is impossible. And
in good many instances it's best that
1t is. As rule people are more rash
than they want to acknowledge. If
they had half a chance they would
glory In goading others into the Wild
est rashness and then laugh about the
predicaments they would find them in.
So nature has put safeguards around
humanity to keep 1t from doing many
things that never ought TO be attempt
ed. Occasionally people break through
them and the victim pays the penalty.

IF the rural delivery Is NJ your door,
the city market Is there for your small
produce, say specialists OF the United
States Department of Agriculture. At
present many producers are neglect
ing entirely this marketing medium o.
are not utilizing II Ia the extent they
might. Wider use OF the parcel post
for marketing eggs Is particularly adj
v>able Tor the small producer who
can easily and advantaGeOusly build
up Il direct trade with the city. When
more produce is marketed directly
from the farm to the city there viii
be less complaint on the part of the
producer that the prices he must sell
for are TOO low. and less on the part
Of the consumer that the prices he
pays are too high.
Sell Only First-clsss Eggs.
II Is preferable to produce infertile
eggs for market, as fertile eggs de-
teriorate rapidly In warm weather and
are the cause or much loss. The eggs
should he gathered at least once day
and stored in well-ventllated place,
where they can be kept as cool as pos
Sible. AS washing removes the muci-
laginous coating OF eggs and opens the
pores of the shell, II should not be
practiced in the case of eggs intended
for high-class trade. Soiled eggs
should be used at home or disposed of
otherwise than to parcel-post Gus

If there Is any doubt concerning the
freshness or quality of the eggs, they
should he candled, so that all eggs
showing any defect may be held at

ture. For parcel-post shipment It Is
essential that uniform containers and

URGE TESTING OF SEED CORN
Even When Carefully Selected and
Stored II Should Be Tested Be-
fore Planting.

Even where seed corn has been
carefully gathered and stored II
should be thoroughly tested in the
spring before planting. The best way
TO do this is to make seed corn test
ing box and test 100 ears separately.
Each kernel that is tested must be
perfect, and not injured at the tip
when II is removed from the ear.
Hand-shelling will give much fewer in
jured tips than machine Smelling. and
should be used with all seed corn. If
three or more kernels out of ten from
any one ear fail to grow 1t will be
wise to test every ear in the entire
supply of seed. II the 100 tested ears
show no poor ones. further testing OF
the supply is unnecessary.

many modern features In hOme-build-

Another important factor in hone-
building is the material to be used.
