FORT CRAWFORDIS HISTORICAL PLACE
Preservation Will Be Made Of
 Old Battle Stand

| Prairie Du Chien, Wis, April B. Preservation and eventual reconstruc- | ton of historic Fort Crawford, is forecast by the action of the Prairie du Chien chapter of the D. A. R. in securing an option on the property | from w. R. Graves, it's owner, in an effort to preserve it for historical pur- poses.
 Fort Crawford was the most fam ous of any of the forts in the north- west. The original post, Fort Shelby, was built during the war of 1872. Hardly had the first American troops taken possession of it, when detach- ment of British troops reinforced by Indians, came down the Wisconsin river and laid siege to it. The gar rson was forced to surrender and for year the Union Jack foated over the frontier post, and southwestern Wisconsin was a part of the British empire.
 Buildings Burned.
 At the close of the War Of 1872 the fort was evacuated and shortly aftcrward most of the buildings were gutted by fire.
 The American government then re- built the fort on the same site, call ing it Fort Crawford. Later a new site was chosen a mile south on high CT ground and a larger Fort Craw- ford was erected
 Zachary Taylor, later president of the United States, was commandant of it at one time. One of his lieu tenants was Jefferson Davis, who led the southern Confederacy through the Civil War. Davis fell in love with Taylors daughter and married her, to the great displeasure of the com mandant. The fort surgeon was Dr. Beaumont, whose assistant, Martin St. Alexis, had bullet hole in his stom- ach. Through this hole, pr. Beau mont studied the processes of diges- ton. The experiments thus conduct ed still form the major part of the knowledge medical science has of the stomach and it's functions. St. Alexis is mentioned in many school physi- ologies.
 Famous Men There.
 Others stationed at the fort at va rious times were the historian, Henry Schoolcraft, the artist, George Calvin, and General William Clark, Lewis, Cass and Winfield Scott.
 The treaties of 1926 and 1880, wherein the Indians deeded away the last of their lands east of the Miss issippi river, were signed at Fort

SCIENTISTS SEEK

San Juan. Porto Rico-Invsstisa-
tors Of the International Health
Board Of the Rockefeller Foundation,
studying the habits Of the hookworm
in Porto Rico, have ascertained two
things about this parasite which they
consider of great Importance: One
- that tho larvae are shorter lived
than had bsen supposed. and the sec
ond 10 that they possess only limit
ed powers Of locomotiop.
The scientists are located at Utuar-
do, in the heart of the coffee country.
Some OF them permitted themselves
to be i%nocvlated in oroer better to
carry on their work. They declare
that q life span for the larvae Of from
TWO to three months IL probably the
averages except under most favorable
conditions for longevity. Ordinarily
accord more than q foot or so from
their base unless they are seized with
an ambition to work UP through ,nv
soil. In this case. they can work
through q soil covering of consider
ably mor than one foot. Tho larvae
seem to have a greater capacity or
INCLINATION for altitude than they do
for cross country travel.
Tho studies which are now being
made were undertaken with the hope
that they would load to improved
methods of preventing the spread OF
possible infection and, while the

S. D. FARMS ARE
BECOMING SMALLER

Pierre. 8. d., Oct. 12.-(By the. AS
ISOLATED Press .)-South Dakota farms
are becoming smaller, but the num-
her Is gradually increasing, and the
proportion Of farmers who won their
farms is increasing. the annual re-
port compiled by the state tax COM
mission shows. The year'.1972 shows,
however, a falling off both in the to-
tai acreage in farm and the ratio of
owners to Tenant farmers.
The total acreage in farm in 1922
was 23.62s,20s acres, as compared
with 23.669.577/i In 1921 and 22,906,-
TOT acres in 1920, while in 1919 the
total acreage was 21,22A,73O acres.
This year there are 13.948 moro
farmers IN the state who own their
farms than there are tenant farm
ers, 1t is shown by the report which
states that there are 45,751 owner
farmers and Sits tenant farmers IN
South Dakota. Trip county leads the
state in. the number Of owner farms
with 1855: Roberts county is second
with 1,242. and Brown county third

last Thursday when he arrived at the
