years. One farmer, a Kiowa living
in Oklahoma, raised last year wheat
making twenty-siX bushels to the acre,
and corn running sixty bushels. He
titled the fields alone, except in havest-
time, when he engaged a number of
harvest hands to assist. His income
from last years crop was $780, His
farm is a model one. Originally the
land, coo acres in extent, was set aside
to him by the Indian agent 1t lies in
the valley near the Washita River,
and the soil is well watered and rich.
In the edge Of a patch Of trees border
ing on the farm was erected a nice
flve-room cottage. The stock was
fattened, and every farming nipple
ment was shielded for winter. This
Indian, who was once a noted fighter,
now puts in seven months in each
year on his place, and works even
harder than the average white farmer.
While one cannot say too much
good concerning his farming ability,
his moral character Is in keeping with
other Indians. Sometimes, when he
can get the liquor, he will remain
drunk for a whole month. He wears
a blanket in the winter, and attends
the medicine dances and dog feasts
in summer. So while the Government
has tanned him in one way they still
have a great deal to accomplish. His
steps are slow and hating. AS 1t is
with this Kiowa farmer one will also
find it with many other Indians. They
cannot take many advance steps in
one year; not even five will see a com,
plete change in their condition. TIC

sold their farm products for a COM

was nearly $40 per capita, which is
very good considering the fact that
thirty per cent of them have never

Richard f. Dieterich. a soldier

five years, service to his credit,
makes an appeal, through the
Army and Navy journal, to the
women of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. He begs
them to let the enlisted men Of

wines and beer in tho canteen be-
cause their officers were, and en-
listed men did not dare to hold
opinions contrary to their officers
In commenting on this statement
Mr.. Dieterich says:

as his superior wishes it, without
regard to manhood, principle, or
anything else, is about as big a
