BRINGS BACK FRONTIER DAYS

Relic Recalls the Time When Indian Raids Were an Ever-Preaent

Terror to the Settler.

Several years ago a rusted leg Iron was found near Snake Butte, four miles north of Pierre, S. D., and over which the Black and Yellow trail strikes north. Besides the Iron was also found a die. The iron was placed In the state museum, although there was nothing of historic Interest attached to it at the time, and even now the finder Is unknown. Recently Thomas Tuttle, an educated Yanktonnuis Indian from Fort Thompson, was going through the state house looking at the relics In the museum, accompanied by an older Indian, Okasake—the Whlpper, who was much interested In the collection. Okasake at once recognized the Iron and told the dramatic circumstances surrounding It, as follows, says the

Evening Uuronite.

ol tl.e tropics, we imported lust year over $7(10,000,0011 of foodstuffs from foreign lands, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Our exports ot food products for the saaie year were approximately 000,out, only $125,000,000 in excess ol imports, although the United States is the reputed leading granary of the

world.

Tile total amount of wheat exported lust year was close to ITO.OOO.tWO bushels, for which lorelgn nations paid the United States $212,000,000. But Uncle Sum's nephews and nieces have a sweet tooth and It took all of this and much more besides to pay for the $275,000,000 worth of cane sugar Imported from the tropical countries of the world. Of this totul Cuba supplied nearly $240,000,000, and the Philippines over $21,000,000. Were the present high prices of sugar prevailing then and the stagnation prevailing in the grain markets of the world been existent then, the comparison would be still more startling. Large quantities of sugar are now on the way here from Java and Sumatra, attracted by high prices. The total exports of grain of all kinds and (lour

of animal oils imported. Including cod liver oil, was over $4,000,000. The total of vegetable oils Imported Into the United Slates Is many millions. Coconut oil Imports reached 208,000,000 gallons, valued at $15,000,000, and olive oil, 7,73»,977 gallons, valued at $11,611,880, of which Italy supplied $6,800,000; Chinese nut oil, $7,900,000; cocoa butter, $2,000,000; lemon oil, $500,000, and oleo stearin, $35,000. The total of spices was 83,050,000 pounds, or nearly 42,000 tons, valued at $8,400,000. Pepper led the list with a valuation of $2,628,762; unground cloves total reached $1 400,000. There was regularly Imported cordials, whisky and other distilled liquors to the amount of $256,000; champagne to the value of $37,000 and still wines to the value of $225,000. as to the total of liquor which was smuggled into the country Illegally no estimate can be made. The total of mineral waters and other nonalcoholic beverages was $680,000.

Rug Weaving Lost Art. Home Industry Is about gone. Few women hake their own week's supply of bread In Detroit, or even in the smaller towns of the state where the Inlluencc of machine production Is less. And there Is almost no one left who can weave a rug rug. The American rug Is the rag rug. And the hag of carpet rags which used to hang in the house was as tnueh of an institution

as the woodhox.

Women used to weave their own

and $5,000,900 worth from the Island of Jamaica. The immense development of this Industry is due to the fact that the ports of those countries are served by regular lines of fruitcarrying steamships, which bring the hunanus quickly to a dependable anil protituble market. The plantations are owned and cultivated largely by i he steamship lines or allied companies. The banana is the popular fruit of this country. It Is found for sale at every corner grocery In the hun-

rag rugs in many homes years ago. °f cities of the land, at everj

Quilt tying Is a similar custom which has been slower to die. There is not even a little rag bag in the home in these days of largescale Industry. If there Is a rag bag, it is for hat trimming, not for rugs And the few modest weaving shops scattered around lietroit, with a rug hanging In the front window, are us quaint and old-fashioned in their atmosphere us a violin maker's shop. The making of rag rugs, however, has been carried to the point of art by a few and In spite of the factory the art will survive

Sudan Grass Excellent Emergency Pasture Crop If a farmer Is going to run short of hay or pasture, he may well consider putting out a piece of Sudan grn«s ns an emergency crop. Two cuttings of hay may be made In one season, giving a total yield of two to four tons per acre. Although It Is relished by stock If cjjl eftflj- enough. It has no higher feeding value Hum ormnary grass hay. The feeding value of Sudan ■Jrass hay may be greatly Increased by growing soy beans or enwpeas with It. For some farmers Sudan grass would he of even more value ns pasture or as a soiling crop than for hay.

THINKS HE IS A BIRD

Well-Drewed Men Is Found Perched in High Tree. The spectacle of a well-dressed man about thirty-five years of age perched upon the limb of a big pepper tree at Marengo avenue and the Ocean-to-Oeean highway at Alhambra, Cal., aroused the curiosity of a neighbor, who telephoned the police station. Officer Vingneau went to the scene. The man would not reply to questions, but compiled with the order to come down. He was taken to police headquarters, hut no amount of questioning got as much as a noil or a shake of the head. He had no papers or marks of identlfleatlon exeept the Initials, “R. F. U.” In his hat band. Outside of his uncanny silence he appeared to be normal. The man was taken to the psychopathic ward of the County hospital and registered under the name ol “John Doe.” i'' -**

The Court of Last Appeal

’0U i-re the judge and the jury. Your verdict is final. There can be no appeal—for this is the High Court of Public Opinion. 9 . The wares of the world must apoear before vou—the product of every factory—the merchandise of every store. Those things that fail to measure up to your requirements arc quickly condemned to oblivion. The manufacturer who advertises deliberately places his merchandise on trial. He openly courts your critical inspection. He invites comparison. He directs your attention to his goods and then forces those goods to stand on their own merits. If he were not sure of his wares he would not dare to advertise For advertising would put him to a lest he could not meet, and thus hasten the end of his business career. It would be business suicide. You can depend on the man who advertises. He knows his product is good. That s one reason why it pays to read the advertisements you find in this paper. It is through advertising that you are able to keep in touch with the good things that progressive business men are spending their money to introduce and to keep before you.
