''katena-Koo"
Rehearsals Start

The principals of the cast for
"KATCHA-KOO", an Oriental
American Fantastique, met Saturday
night at the Library to receive and
"try-out" their respective parts and
have the first reading of lines. Much
fun resulted, for the lines and the
situations of the play are decidedly
amusing. Both performers and their
friends who attended the rehearsals
were convulsed with laughter most
OF the evening. Only few changes
were necessary in the original cast
selected by the Committee. Rehears-
ais will be held at The Library in
the mornings for young 2le and
evenings for the older p. .ormers.
The play hearkens of tny Orient.
There will be incense, the silken
boomers and turbans of India
coolies of fascinating ". Ag 20 sch
dressed in bewitcking costumes. Al
interesting story is told with a wealth
of entertainment in all lines that is
almost an embarrassment of riches
The stage settings are fine, the cos
tunes dainty and the music catchy
and pleasing.
The production centers about IA
notorious East-Indian Fakir, Katcha-
Koo, who suddenly undergoes a com
plete meta-morphosis through being
invested with a magic wearing ap-
parel which induces characteristics
hitherto unknown to him. He is
changed from "prayerful Hindu"
to love-making and flirtatious gay
young Lothario This role will give
abundant opportunities for the we'll
known and versatile comedy talent of
Fitzgerald.
Two of the leading female roles
are Dolly and Prudence, who will be
taken by Misses Dorothy Cass and
Anthem Dickey. respectively. Dick
and Harry, two of the prominent
male roles, who will play opposite
Dolly and Prudence will be assumed
by Messrs. Sam Kassewitz and Car
lyle Mcdonald.
The professional director in charge
Miss Hazel Robinson thoroughly I'M
derstands her business and a splen-
did start was made. 1t looks as
though the production will have all
the ear marks of the real profession
al" Those locally in charge of af-
fairs are Mesdames I. Gelders, Frank
Ward, George Brown, U. J. Bennett
s. L. Smith and Miss Louise Smith.

% Of the word
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say it means ''beau-
tiful land" but the more likely
derivation Is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means "across"
or beyond" This was probably
applied to this tribe Of Indians
BY the Illinois tribes who were
hostile to them. and resided On
the eastern side Of the Nissis-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itogs to this region included Mar
Quette and Joliet. who landed
here on their explorations Of the
Mississippi In 1873.
The FIRST settlement was made
by a French Canadian named
Julian Dubuque. He obtained
In 1888 a large grant Of land
from the Indians, where the
city which was named after him
now stands. Here he flourished,
mining lead and trading with the
Indians, until his death in 1910,
when this settlement was given
up.
With the acquisition of the
Louisiana Purchase in 1903,
Iowa, which was a part of this
huge territory, came into the
hands Of the United States from
France. At first Iowa was a
part of tie Louisiana territory,
then of Missouri territory. Later
it formed a portion of Michigan
territory and then OF Wiscono....
territory. In 1888, however, 1t
attained distinct individuality
when it was formed into the
Iowa territory.
Pioneers soon came In large
numbers ard about 1882 a sub
stantial settlement was made
near Burlington, and Dubuque
was founded in 1888. The popu-
lation grew so rapidly that in
1846 Iowa was admitted as the
twenty-ninth state of the Union.
Its area is 56,147 square miles
and it has thirteen presidential
electoral votes.
Iowa is familarly called the
Hawkeye State.

BLACK STEM RUST ETSEARLYSTART

"The spring stage of the black stem
rust which is found on the common
barberry has already started to de-
velop," says H. e. Gilbert, barberry
expert at State College. mature
rust spots from which spores were
blowing to the young grains and
grasses were found on barberries south
OF Humboldt on May l3. This means
that the grain fields are even now in
danger Of infection from this dread
disease.
1.-THE red spots Of the black stem
rust on the stems of the grain may
not be abundant enough to be noticed
until late in June but they are de.
veloping now. If the weather Is fav-
orable South Dakota will probably
have considerable black stem rust.
On the other hand 1t is possible that
there will be a dry unfavorable season
for the rust this year and that no
serious epidemic will develop from
the rust which was getting such an
early start in South Dakota during
May.
"The work OF barberry eradication
is progressing and a large number OF
barberries have been destroyed. The
plan is to survey eight to ten counties
In this work this summer. There are
not sufficient funds available to do
more than this. 1t will, therefore,
take several years more to survey the
whole state and it can not be expected
that the 81, 800, 900 annual loss in this
state will be materially decreased un-
til the work is more nearly completed,
"The'important thing now is to de-
stroy promptly all barberry bushes or
sprouts which may appear where the
old barberries were dug. The rust
has already started to develop. Delay
In destroying the common barberries
allows the rust to mature and spread"
