SWORD WORTHY OF OWNER
Blade Worn by Miles Standlsh Has
Been Traced to the Time Of
the Crusades.

Among the relics Of the Pilgrims
that may be seen when visitors throng
the old town Of Plymouth for the ter
centenary ~observances few are more
interesting than the sword Of Miles
Standish. 1t may be seen in Pilgrim
hall.
1t is a Damascus blade and presum-
ably came into the possession Of the
Pilgrim captain from someone whose
ancestors had brought it from the
Crusades.
1t bears several curious inscriptions,
which waited until June, 1881. to be
translated. Then Prof. James Rose
dale of Jerusalem went with a band
Of Arabs to Americas most important
shrine and found that the carved
characters belonged to different dates
some in Cutie and very old.
He was only able to translate one,
Of a later period. In Arabic. The
words given here show that its spirit
was quite appropriate to the spirit of
the Pilgrims:
with peace God ruled his Slaves.
And with the judgments of His arms
He troubled the Mighty Of the
wicked"

Rock Many Religious Associations.

A report on the Dome of the Rock
of Jerusalem is shortly to be published
and will be of great interest to the Ma
hommedan world. 1t may not be gen.
orally known that this place is the
third in sanctity of all the sanctuaries
of Islam, and indeed for a short period
it actually formed the Kibla toward
which all Moslems Frustrated them
selves in prayer. Among the more i'm
pOrtant religious associations of this
rock we may mention that it was here
that David and Solomon were called to
repentance, and on account of a vision
David chose this site for his temple.
From this same spot Mohammed as
cended to the Seventh Heaven after
his night journey from Mecca, and last
ly it is to be the scene of the Great
Judgment. The historical associations
are not less striking, and such famous
m as Omar, Abd-el-Malek, Saladin
and Suleiman are all connected with
the rock.-From the Zanzibar Gazette.

OUR NEW HIGH SCHOOL COACH

A poem has been written by a De
Nicholson, coach OF the De Smet high
school during the past year, who has
accepted a similar job at Brook
ings high school next year. Mr..
Nicholson made a record for himself
at De Smet that endeared him to the
people of that town as is expressed
in this poem which was published
last week in the De Smet News.

He found you out of joint with things

With older people who could never

RUST PROBLEM NOT SOLVED

DR.. A. T. Evans, associate professor
OF agronomy at State college, adj
dressed the Rotary club Tuesday noon
on the subject Of rust which has done
and will do considerable damage 20
wheat and oats crops in South Dakota.
Some new discoveries in regard to
the identity Of the rust and the falla-
cies Of former theories were explained
by Doctor Evans. He also stated that
no variety Of wheat yet developed is
permanently rust resistant.
For a long time rust on wheat and
oats, as well as the other cereals, was
supposed to be IDENTICAL" he said.
Experiments conducted On inocula-
ton Of wheat with Dat rust and vice
versa showed they were not pathO-
genie, except on the one type OF plant.
This led to much experimentation and
English investigators formulated the
bridging host theory. BY trial they
determined hat it was necessary for
wheat rust to live for a vile on some
other plant or possibly two plants be-
fore it would attack oats and vice
versa. This discovery led to the call
ing Of the plants in between "bridg-
ing host signifying that they bridged

WOULD PROHIBIT DOG.EATINc
Custom Common Among the lgorots
Is Declared to Be Undesirable
for Many Reasons.

Those who remember the article In
this magazine a short time ago tell
ing of the cruelties connected with
the killing Of dogs for food among the
Igorots, says Our Dumb Animals,
will be glad to know that 1t has
aroused sufficient interest to
the Manila Daily Bulletin to say, &C.
cording to a clipping we have just re-
ceived:
1.-THE office of the Department Of the
Interior is constantly receiving from
persons in the United States, mostly
women, letters protesting against dog
eating in the mountain province
among the IgOrots, it was declared by
Secretary Kalaw Of the department.
All of them, he said, urge that in the
interests Of civilization and better
and higher mode of living, a law
should be passed by the Philippine
legislature prohibiting the sale and
the use of dogs as food material.
aside from the fact that the act
Of eating dogs is highly undesirable,
the letters state, it is very inhumane.
The Igorots, they state, like to eat
lean dogs and that the more bOny
they are, the more palatable they
taste to the IgorOts. Consequently.
when a dog is bought in the dog mar
ket at Basuio Or at any other place,
1t is left to starve for many days be-
fore it is eaten, the communications
declare.
"When asked If the passage Of a
law prohibiting the sale and the eat
Ing Of dogs by the Igorots was in or
der, Secretary Kalaw declared that 1t
might be done In an indirect manner"

the gap between wheat and oats for
the rust to pass over.
Study OF this problem in this coUn-
try has led to the discovery that
bridging hosts idea was arrived ut
enormously. Evidently a mixed cul-
ed with or else the two rusts became
mixed during the process OF the work.
Further study showed that rust is
not a simple species, but made up Of
many strains which are best known
as physiological strains. Some Of
these physiological strains attack one
plant while other strains attack en-
tirely different plants. Thus far
scientists working have been able to
identify 33 different physiological
strains from various parts Of the
world. The geological distribution of
these is significant. Because a vari
ETY. Of wheat is resistant to rust now
does not indicate that it Will be in
the future. There may be no physiolo'
gical strain Of rust in the community
where the resistant wheat Is estab-
lished wor several years. This does
not preclude, however, the coming
into that region OF a physiological
strain of rust which will attack such
a wheat. AS a matter of fact that is
what we actually find happening. For
instance, Acme wheat which was quite
resistant to rus in South Dakota at
one time is no longer very resistant.
1t never was rust resistant at the
Minnesota station. Kanred wheat,
which we hear so much about as beng
rust resistant is actually attacked by
IL different physiological strains Of
rust.
when we talk Of rust, we talk Of a
complicated thing not simple as it
might seem to many. 1t seems the
problem will resolve itself into one Of
establishing resistant varieties Of GER
cal grains only to have them later
susceptible. While they are losing
their resistance, other new resistant
varieties will need to be established.

Shell Fire Holds Special
Invitation Ticket.
lBx TIC Associated Press,

London, Feb. 81 (by the Associ-
ated Press. London is aglow to-
night and mildly excited over the
wedding tomorrow of Princess
Mary. The brilliant assemblage
which is to witness the service in
Westminster Abbey will be more
in the nature of friends than is
usually the case in great state
functions, for the majority of those
invited are really friends, or at
least acquaintances of one or both
OF the principals, rather than
guests merely hidden on account
of court formality.
The wedding guests will be sur
prised at the altered appearance
of that edifice, which poetical
writers frequently term 1.-THE gray
old abbey" The blazing scarlet
Of the carpet in the central aisle
probably will be the dominant col
or tone, unless it develops that the
peeresses and other richly goWned
women have inclined to other
equally vivid shades in choosing
their dresses.

cess was first announced it was
expected that many members OF
royal families from abroad would
be invited to the ceremony but
only the son and daughter OF the
king of Spain, and Grand Duke
Michael and Prince Nicholas Of
will be present, they be-
ing the only members of other
royal houses CHANGING to be in
ENGLAND at this time.
The list of royal wedding pres
ents issued at buckingham palace
tonight comprise 908 separate ar
ticles. Among the latest announce
ed is sum of more than $1,000
towards a present for Princess
Mary subscribed by the women OF
Ireland. All classes con-
the contributions varying
from a few pence to q few pounds.
1t is understood that Mary will
choose a gift closely associated
with southern Ireland.

New York. Feb. 27.--Financial
troubles overlook five more brok-
erage houses in Wall street today.
Involuntary bankruptcy petitions
were filed against four, while a
fifth, c. w. Starbuck & Co., made
n voluntary Assignment for the
benefit of creditors.
Today's failures brought the to-
tai since last Novcmber to IS.
Tho firm of Mosher and Wal
lace was the first to go down to-
day, announcement of it's suspon-
sion from tho Consolidated Stock
Exchange being followed quickly
by the filing Of a bankruptcy petit
ton in federal court. Liabilities
were estimated OF $4,000, while
assets were not stated.
The same fate overlook Thomas
TT. Cowloy 81 Co., and Shewry and
Falkland, liabilities and assets Of
the former being listed respective
ly, as 100000 and $4,000. while
in the case of Shewry and Falk-
land liabilities alone were estimat-
ed at 100000.
Neither liabilities nor assets
were estimated in the petition
against Gamble and Yates. This
firm, like G. w. Starbuck & Co., Is
an "outsido" house, with no eX-
change connections.
