eranddaddx of Kanaaroo2

A footprint made by an animal be-
aieved by scientists to be the grand
father Of the kangaroo has just been
found in an ancient lagoon in the
Hastings <England district.
The animal which made the imprint,
many thousands Of years ago, is called
by experts the iguanodon, one of the
members Of the dinosaur family, Of
which numerous traces have been
found in America and reconstructed
in American museums.
The iguanodon is supposed to have
been 20 to 80 feet in height. Its
footprint, cast of which has just
been exhibited to the members of
the Biologists association here,
covered an area of nearly four square
feet.
Impressions Of its toes indicated
that this iguanodon was in rapid mo-
tion, suggesting the possibility that
an ancient sabre-toothed tiger was
on, its trail.

Grain Rusts.

Clemson College, May 15.-The
Botany Division has received num-
Der of requests recently. for informa-
ton concerning the rusts of grain.
The following statement by the plant
pathologist gives in brief the situation
as it exists in this partof the coun-
try.
ALI small grains except rice are
subject to at least two rusts, the
stem rust, Puccinia granonis, is typi-
cally stem-infecting rust. 1t attacks
all of the small grains except rice,
and many grasses, and has a second
or alternate stage which infects bar
berry. 1t is very serious in the north
ern-growing regions but is compara-
lively unimportant in the South.
The leaf rusts are as follows
(1) Leaf rust of wheat, which has an
alternate stage on meadow-rue. Tha-
lictrum; (2) leaf rust of oats which
has it's alternate stage on buckhorn,
wild shrubs of this region) (3) leaf
rust of rye, which has its
alternate stage on species of Anchu-
sa (foreign plants found occasional
ly as decorative plants in this coun-
try; - and (4) leaf rust of barley
which has its alternate stage Gun
known in the United States) on "star
of Jerusalem"
The leaf rusts of wheat, oats and
rye are very common, mad often
abundant in this section, and doubt
less do a great deal of damage. The
leaf rust of barley is not so abun-
dant and probably is of comparative
ly little Importance 1t takes a much
heavier attack of any of the leaf
rusts than of stem rust to be destruc-
tive, however, None of these leaf
rusts will attack any crop other than
is normal host.
Although not attacked by the stem
rust, corn is affected by rust of its
own. This rust is very common but
seldom destructively abundant. Its
alternate stage occurs on the leaves
of the common Oxalis or wood sorrel.
About all that can be done by way
of control is to avoid too heavy fer
tilization with nitrogen unbalanced
with PHOSPHORUS, and to plant early
maturing varieties. In time the prob
lem will probably be solved with rust,
resistant varieties, but this solution
is probably still some years away.

Half Hour of lsectionalism in
the Senate.

So. eAAS ASSAA1A
Washington, May 1S. Sectional
feeling ran strong in the senate for
half an hour today when Senators
Robinson of Arkansas and Watson of
Georgia Indignantly resented what
they charged was slur cast on the
house by Senator Smoot, republican,
of Utah.
Senaor Shoots remark was made
during political tilt between the
democrats and republicans.
The question of reading the news
papers came up. Smoot asserted that
the democrats read only democratic
newspapers while republicans read
both democratic and republican news
papers. He added that the democrats
should not have too much to say about
reading in view of the conditions OF
|illiteracy in the south.
Senator Watson challenged the
Utah senator to debate on the ques-
ton of illiteracy in Georgia and in
Utah. Senator Robinson, growing
more indignant as he spoke, said:
"There are some senators who seem
unable to get away from the spirit OF
sectionalism, which at one time
threatened to divide the Union. There
are some senators who seem to think
virtue and intelligence are the pecu-
liar characteristics of their particu-
lar locality, and that illiteracy and ig-
norance and other unfortunate de-
fects of citizenship are confined to
certain sections of the country.
"The south was left the burden of
educating a very large population re-
Gently liberated from slavery and
which unfortunately was almost to-
tally illiterate. But if the senator
from Utah desires to make a serious
issue of this matter, if he wishes to
flaunt in my face the unfortunate
conditions with which my people have
been confronted with respect to il
literacy, 1 shall not hesitate to meet
the issue.
"No other people in history have
so bravely met misfortune, have SO
gallantly overcome difficulties that
threatened to overwhelm them, so
triumphantly emerged from the mis-
fortunes of desolation in warfare as
haye characterized the efforts and the
success of the people of the south.
SIN spite of sneers and in spite of
insinuations, the indomitable white
race of the south is advancing to con-
ditions of enlightenment and glory,
and is leading by the hand the men
and their children of the blacks. Here
in the senate of the United States we
ought to forget sectional lines and
sectional antagonism and live in the
spirit and consciousness of the fact
that we are all citizens Of the great
republic"

The Proper System.


Fennlmore Times: Boscobel rural
mall carriers will not take pennies
out of mail boxes after Nov. Is. We
don't blame them. You pull your
mitten off in cold weather thirty or
forty times to fish pennies OUT of a
cold box, and your hand gets so cold
you'll never be able to get it warm
again. And when your hand gets
stiff and numb, it's mighty hard to do
anything with it. We know, for we
have delivered mail on the route in
the winter time. Keep a supply of
stamps in the house and stamp your
letters when you put them in the
box. That's the proper system.

THE ambitious home dressmaker
either has learned, or is learning,
that she may undertake to make
her own blouses and be rewarded
by lovely garments. For anyone
who has not tried the experiment,
now is good time to begin, because
the rich new fabrics are at their best
IN blouses of simple design. These
fabrics do not call fer any but the
simplest adornments, and they make
the handsomest of costume blouses, to
be worn with two-piece suits or with
appropriate separate skirts. One black
satin skirt will make a background to
set off many q stunning blouse, and
there are fabrics Of all degrees Of
richness with which to suit occasion.
The story of blouses begins every
season with the shirtwaist and blouses
Of similar character. They include
softly tailored waists of white crepe de
chine to be worn with street and sport
suits, and the crisp and dainty blouses
of fine, sheer cottons. for the same
