VALUABLE ART
CALENDAR FREE.

Perhaps none of the many high
priced calendars found in the art
stores this season, will possess more
real beauty aud worth than the Fairy
Art Calendar for 1909, offered by The
n. X. Fairbank company. 1t not only
eciipses all former efforts Of this com.
pany, but it undoubtedly exoels all
rivalry in this line Of publicity. Il
is, indeed, a work of art and must be
seen TO be appreciated.
The N. X. Fairbank company are
mailing the beautiful calendar FREE
to any one returning Ten Fairbank's
Fairy soap Oval Fronts, or sending
twelve two-cent stamps. Returning
ten Oval Fronts. however, is the best
and surest way to obtain the Fairy
Art Calendar. All grocers sell
FAIRY Soap.

Indians to Have Cattle Hides,

The senate committee on Indian affairs
has agreed to an amendment offered by
Senator Kyle requiring the commissioner
on Indian affairs to distribute among
the Indians at the various agencies the
hides of cattle killed on such reser-
vations.
Senator Kyle was authorized by the
committee to present the amendment to
the senate with the Endorsement of the
committee. The system proposed to be
established was abandoned some time
ago by the Indian Office which claimed
that the distribution resulted in great
loss to the tribes. and accordingly the
hides have been sold and the proceeds
divided among the Indians per capita.
This has created great dissatisfaction,
particularly among the Sioux of the Da-
kotas, and it has been represented that
unless the old practice was revived, there
would be trouble among the Indians.
The department has refused to modify
it's order.
