In the incorporated school districts
whites and Indians attend the same

in fellowship and friendship cultivated
in the class room and on the playground.
Both sides are better satisfied in the

now at its height, and in the three or
four big scrapple factories OF the city
about 10000 pounds of the delectable
compound are produced weekly. Each
factory pridcs itself on the peculiar
flavor of IFS scrapple, just as breweries
pride themselves on the favor of their
beer. There are, indeed, scrappe con
