WANTS INDIANS TO fARlf.
Sehools, Thinks Re1nsn. 0Ao~lA
: Tan Their 0wn Lana. :.

Miss Escte!le Reel, superintendent
OF Indian schools. takes the position
In her annual report that, ~ the In
dian owns his own Land, he should be
taught to do his own farming, In pref
erence to his old-time custom Of rent.
ing to his industrious white neighbors,
and living in idleness. This idea in.
stilled into the red man will be long
step toward actua; reform. Attention
Is called to the fact that the first gov
ernment appropriation in 1919 was but
$4,000, while during the last year the
sum of $3,244,250 was expended for In
dian schools, and the total number OF
pupils enrolled was nearly $4,000.
A gratifying feature of Indian edu-
cation as indicated by the report, ie
the rapid growth of industrial train
ing methods in the Indian schools.
Practical industrial training, with
elementary literary studies applica-:
ble to industrial work, should make
the Indian a usefu. citizen, and this is
the aim of the Indian school service
under its present management. Speak
ing of agriculture, Miss Reel says:
mo occupation will so soon dispos-
sess the Indian of his nomadic instincts
and fix upon him permanency of habi-
tation as agriculture. Tilling of the
soil Will necessarily oblige him to re-
main in one spot, and the performing
OF certain duties at proper times of
the year will insti]i into him the me-
cessity for systematic work and for
giving attention to details. To make
any real progress the Indian must have
a home wherein will center all his
interests, hopes and ambitions and
a. home on:a far m will best fill these
requirements. AS there is no field In
which he can so readily contribute to
his own support, he should not only be
encouraged, but urged, to cease leas-
ing his allotment, to cultivate more
acres, raise better crops, and live the
thrifty independent life that falls to.

MODERN DROP SHAFT

The following anent the plans of
the Cleveland-Cliffs company, in
the matter of developing the pro-
perty recently acquired at Negau~
nee, is from the Iron Herald:
The shaft will be known as what
is called a drop shaft-l2x16-
hosting compartments and lad
derway. The first frame, or what
will finally be the bottom one, is
provided with steel shoe, beveled
to sharp edge in order to reduce
the resisting surface as the timber
is crowded downward. The timber
to be used is mainly oak and IA
inches square so thst there should
be no question of it's security. since
this is to go down in solid rock
from the ledge and some distance
from the ore deposit. Capt. Rough,
who is experimenting the organi-
zation for the work, is anticipating
little difficulty in executing the
carefully prepared plans, which
contemplate means for overcoming
such obstacles as boulders and
quicksand-the former he expects
to encounter a number of, while of
the latter he has no knowledge of
the exact extent or of the resistance
it may cause to the progress of the
work. Until the sand is reached
double shifts will be worked, and
from that to the ledge at least, three
shifts, when, if methods can be de-
vised to shut the water out, sinking
may then go on with the double
shift. Those who may incline to be
curious as to what the first ton of
ore hoisted from the property may
cost, should go out to the location
at this time and take a look at the
piles of expensive material and fuel
that will soon begin to disappear at
a rapid rate before making an esti-
mate. Setting aside the cost of the
fee, 100000 would seem a reasona.
bic cost for this particular ton of
ore, which may be worth $4.25 whe,.

Nat Goodwin addressed the Play
goers' club at London the other night
on the subject of "The American In
vasion." He said that there was reci~
procity between the American and
British ;dramatic worlds, but Engfst
actors generally came home iadenwith
dollars. He instanced; the case, Of
Macready and Others and said that a.
most all of the American actors in
England shared the fate of Forrest,
who went home with only dead en-
blem of leaves suggesting his name.
Several Americans had lost heavily on
the London season, some; $4,000 and
others 1925, 900: On that point he could
speak with authority, though he was
not anxious to claim credit for his ex-
periences; indeed, he wished he wefe
less well informed. -. ~ - ::

secret of prolonging human life to

DR.. Thompson says that he has Gre

that exist in food, and that he trans
mite these forces in a combined
form into the body, thereby re-in-
forcing the nerve centers. If the

should become of general use there
would be some consolation to the

SENATOR HAWKINS states that the

action would certainly give time
for dissection of the points involv-

They have no object in pursuing such a course; a course which in the eye or an intelligent public is calculated to ruin the best proposition in exist ence.
 When the Copper Glance people strike the big deposit. which they surely will in the near future, the
 well defined belt from Bisbee to the National boundary will soon ring with industrial enthusiasm from end to end. The popular ownership and manage
 ment of the Copper Glance company is closely confined to plain, substan. | tial, experienced old timers. most of them for years in the employment of the Copper Queen Mining company in Bisbee. President Clawson is a thor ough old timer. and under 1 ground superintendent of the ] Copper Queen mine. c. c.

BURRELL'S AGENCY

Chance for a Rocky Ford 0Iri to Sc.

Burrell's seed house is one Of the en-
terprises of which Rocky Ford is proud.
In its brief existence Of two years Mr..
Buroell has built up remarkably large
business. His seeds have been sent to
almost every state in the union and to
some foreign countries. Rocky Ford has
had national reputation for several
years and Mr.. Burrell's broadguage ad-
vertising has increased the general
knowledge Of the existence and impor-
tance Of the melon and sugar beet me-
tropolis.
But Mr.. Burrell has attained promi-
nence in direction not sought. A young
Philadelphian has seenhis advertisements
and thought to add matrimonial agency
to the seed business. A letter was re-
ceived recently from which we make
