Prayers From Koran
Now Read i'm Turkish

VIENNA. Austria.-What religion
there is left in Turkey is going strongly
nationalist, it appears from Ankara dis
patches, which announce that prayers
from the Koran are being read now in
Turkish, not in Arabic.
This is said to be the first time in
the whole of the Islamic world that
the sacred words OF the Koran have
been read publicly in another tongue
than that in which Mohammed wrote
them.
The Turks, having recently Latin
lied their alphabet, are thus Turk
izing" their religion The differences
between Turkish and Arabic are not
profound, but sufficient to move the
hotly chauvenistic Turks to this revo-
lutionary step.
The first occasion wherein Turkish
was substituted for Arabic was at a
funeral grafton for the dead soldier.

High Taxes Fought
The Republican forces say that tax
alton in the Free State is too high.
England looks with suspicious eye upon
De Valera, many deeming him a dan
gerous revolutionary who might plunge
the whole Irish nation INTO the terrors
of some few years ago. De Valera has been
saying that the Cosgrave governments
army has been TOO big and that money
spent on this might well be saved or
turned into more peaceful channels.
De Valera's enemies in Erin contend
that he lacks real constructive pro-
gram and that there are few outstand-
ing men in his ranks, from which he
can choose an able cabinet. He now
has an opportunity to challenge this
statement by public action.
Until recently. the Civic Guards, the
police force that supplanted the bob
bies'' of other days, the Royal Irish
Constabulary, when the Free State

Rights of Patentee

There is a popular but erroneous
notion that it is not an infringe
ment Of patent for an unauthor-
lied individual to make a duplicate
of patented article for his own use,
particularly if it is a tool, imple-
ment or device employed in gaining
livelihood. In a letter to US the
United States patent office says:
"The grant of patent by this office
gives to the patentee, his heirs or
assigns the right to exclude others
from making, using or selling the
invention covered by the claims of
the patent throughout the United
States and its territories for a IT.
year period. An individual would
have no right to make for his own
use an article covered by the claims
of an unexpired patent without the
consent of the owner of the patent"

STATE LAW ON SALE OF SEED
Farmers Are Exempt From Law
Regulations Under Conditions

The Seed Laboratory of the State
Board of Agriculture has issued
the following bulletin concerning
the purchase of seed: Every pur-
chaser of seed is entitled to specific
information on two important
points: The percentage of purity
and the percentage of termination.
The Delaware Seed Law REQUIRES
that every lot or package of seed
sold, offered or exposed for sale in
the state in the amount of ten
pounds or more shall carry the
above information together with
the name of the seed and the name
and address of the person respon-
sible for placing it upon the mar
ket. Farmers selling seeds pro-
duced on their own farms to other
farmers are exempt from these re-
quirements provided they do not
ship such seeds by mail or by any
common carrier" This exemp-
tion is intended to make it possible
for one farmer to purchase from
another without unnecessary ex-
pense to either, the seed of a crop
which he may have observed dur
ing the growing season, and which
he desires to purchase for his own
use. Such seed may often be
judged fairly correct by the ap-
pearance of the crop and the ap-
pearance of the mature seed. In
such cases, however, the purchaser
himself assumes the risk of obtain
ing good termination. To pur-
chase seeds of any kind without
definite information as to their
source, condition or age, is an un-
wise investment Home grown
clovers containing large percent
ages of buckhorn, soy beans con-
tanning wild morning glory seed,
and any seeds containing consider
able portions of split, immature
and shriveled seeds, are expensive,
of price. The services
of the Seed Laboratory of the
State Board of Agriculture are
available to any farmer who wish
es to obtain purity or termination
tests upon any seed which he de-
sireS to use.

Discovery in Dispute

Conflicting stories are told about
the Introduction of the potato, ma
tive of the western hemisphere, tC
European circles. Those adventur-
Gus Spaniards who roamed the seas
in search of new lands and what.
ever else they could find are said
to hold the introduction rights, al
though it is also contended that Sir
John Hawkins, an English voyager
holds the honor, having introduced
the potato to the court of European
epicures, in 1868. 1t is generally be-
lieved. however, that Sir John was
responsible for the sweet potatoes
presentation.
When they were f1rst transplant
ed TO the Old world the potatoes
were like stepchildren. This prob
ably was because Europeans were
deep set in their ideas of diet and
prejudiced against new foods.

Bantu Tribe Increases

The Bantus of South Africa were
the latest of the native inhabitants
who entered South Africa. They all
speak dialects of the Bantu Ian
guage, but racially they vary
considerably with certain negro
characteristics predominating. They
seem to have originated as a dis

neighborhood of the Great Lakes
and to have migrated south at va
rious times between the Twelfth
the Fifteenth centuries. The Bantu
peoples are vigorous, powerful and

High Honors Accorded
Champions of Olympiad

The Olympic games, forerunners
of the modern international con-
tests bearing that name, date back
to the year TIC 3. G. in Greece.
They were originally held on the
level plain of Olympia and were
limited to Greek contests. Once in
five years the Olympiad was held.
and during the period of the games
and the pre-game training period of
ten months war was forbidden
among the Greek states.
The contests were held over a
period of five days. and the va
rious tests of skill include run
ming. jumping, wrestling. throwing
the spear, throwing the discus, box
ing and chariot racing. When the
champions were designated they
appeared in a grand review on the
fifth day. at which time their names
and feats Of skill were announced
to the crowds and they were award
ed palm branches and crowns Of
olive twigs.
After the Romans conquered the
Greeks. they. too. were permitted
to take part in the contests, which
were of the nature Of national fes-
tival. as the contest winners were
exempted from taxes and were main
tanned during the period following
the games at the expense of the
state. The erection Of statues to the
winners was also common.
The games were finally abolished
In 394 by Emperor Theodosius.
