Ancient EnuIish Honor.

The first of the English orders OF
knighthood is the Order of the Bath
which is supposed to date to the period
Of the ancient Franks, and to have
been introduced into England by the
Saxons
The order as at present constituted
WAS instituted by George l., who re-
vived it 1913 years ago, May %, 1925,
and fixed the number of knights at 81.
In 1916, the prince regent, afterward
George ~. greatly increased the MEM
bership, and on May %, 1847, new
statutes were decreed by which the
order. hitherto exclusively military,
was opened TO civilians
The Order of the Bath gained it's
name from the fact that the ancient
Franks and Saxons made bathing an
important part of the rites connected
with the creation of knights.
The order was not formally consti-
tuted until 1889.

GROWTH OF THE ELEMENTS
Phenomenon of Radium Has Given
New Weight to Theory Which
Was Advanced Years Ago

1t is an old question, Are the
Seventy-odd chemical elements really
elementary or are they compounded
of something still more elementary 2"
In the light of the discoveries of the
last few years about radium one au-
thOrity recurs to a theory, advocated
by him many years ago. that as the
planets were evolved out of the origi-
nal nebula which gave birth to the
solar system the chemical elements
themselves were also evolved out of
something far less complex than them
selves. The fact that existing nebulae
are very simple in composition, while
stars in various stages of development
exhibit more and more complexity, I'M
til in solidified bodies like the earth, q
great number of chemical elements
with q myriad of compounds are found
is regarded as strongly supporting this
theory. The phenomenon of radium
leads to the additional suggestion that
as in the development of the heavenly
bodies we seem to see the growth of
the elements, so in radioactivity we
witness their decay.-New York Her

GRAM MAY SUPPLANT RICE
'Adlay," Product of the Philippines,
ls Believed by Scientists to Have
Great Potential Value.

Attention is now being given to a
half-wild grain called "adlay," which
grown in small quantities in parts
OF the Philippines is believed to have
great potential value. 1t is twice
as productive as rice, equally
palatable and more nutritious
Adlay by itself will not make a
raised loaf of bread. Neither will
rice nor Indian corn for that matter.
1t has no gluten. But when mixed
with onethird wheat flour it makes
excellent bread and biscuits, the lat

for griddle cakes. Used straight II
makes good crackers or bareback
The cracked grain is q first-class
breakfast food. The whole grain is
a satisfactory substitute for rice.
This valuable cereal originated in
the tropics of Asia, and In India 1T had
been used for centuries by some of the
native hill tribes. 1t contains as much
protein as wheat and more than three
times as much fat. Experts say that
it equals wheat as food for man and is
far better "baIanced'' than rice or
corn as a food ration. 1t can be used
like barley in soups.
The reason why 1t has not been
more extensively cultivated is that 1t
cannot be milled as easily as rice.
the grain being very hard. But suit
able machinery will overcome this
difficulty. Production per acre be- |
ing much larger than that of rice, its
cost should be lower. and it may yet |
supplant rice to a great extent as the |
leading food staple not only in the |
but elsewhere in the |
Orient.

THE NATION MoURNS

President Harding is dead and a
great people are sorrowing. Death,
coming unexpectedly, as it did, after
the president had been reported well
on the way to recovery, made the
shock all the more severe. The peo-
pie had learned to love and admire
Harding as they came to know him
better and he will go down in history
as one of the nations great presi-
dents
Warren G. Harding was clean
man, man of high ideals standing
out among his fellows as an American
with personal life above reproach,
which is the foundation for true
greatness. He loved his country
deeply, revered it's traditions and up
held, to the last ounce of his ability,
it's laws and it's institutions. He took
the oath of office under conditions
which were most trying, with the
country having just come out of the
greatest war of all time, in which its
financial strength had been strained
to the utmost and the people taken
from the beaten paths of life, dis
satisfied with conditions, and skepti-
cal of any effort toward bringing the
nation back to normally. Not more
than one or two presidents of the
United States have taken office under
such trying conditions. Here Hard
ing showed his greatness by gather
ing around him the nations greatest
minds, and by following consistent |
and conservative policies, he was |
gradually steering the ship of state |
out of the rough water and back into |
the peaceful pre-war conditions. His I
cool Judgment had been felt in world /
affairs, as we'll as in national affairs,
and when death claimed him he was
one of the worlds outstanding
figures.
The nation mourns the loss of
Warren G. Harding, but though taken
apparently when his usefulness to his
country was greatest, he had accom-
plished much and had pointed the
way to still greater things. America
will revere his memory and history
will recognize him as a great and
good man.

WHEAT LESS THAN FIVE-YEAI
AVERAGE

While there have been all sorts of
statements as to the 1928 wheat crop,
the impression having been given out
from many sources that the crop
throughout the nation is the largest
in many years, these statements, ac-
cording to the report on the agri-
cultural outlook, for July, published
by the United States department OF
agriculture, bureau of agricultural
economics, were not based on facts,
and the yield will be approximately
forty million bushels less than the
production of 1922 and fourteen mill
lion bushels less than the five-year
average production for the years
1871
Another encouraging factor, from
the price standpoint, is the fact, also
stated in the government report, that
the stocks of wheat still on farms
July 1, 1923, are reported as 3d.
$4,000 bushels, or Al per cent of the
1922 crop. Only eight times in the
has the percentage of the crop still
on the farms July l been smaller
than this year.
Whatever may be the cause of the
downward tendency of the price, as
the crop comes onto the market, it
cannot truthfully be credited to over
production, nor to the surplus. With
the knowledge of this condition COM
ing to the farmer, it will probably |
strengthen the tendency to hold the |
wheat. on the farms. or in the ware
houses, at least for a time, awaiting |
developments. While no one cares to |
advise what any wheat grower should |
do, it would seem that there is more
than possibility of the market adj
