TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT sAcHEM

POwhntnn's Tribe Makes Its VOtive
oRerInss to Governor of Virginia.
The Pammunkey Indians, the last
remnant of the tribe of Powhatan, are
exceedingly particular as to the Gus
toms and traditions of their fathers,
and. as they do not vote, they do not
pay taxes, as other people. They live
on their own reservation, about twenty
miles from Richmond Va, and at GER
tain seasons of the year make a great
point of paying tribute to the COVER
nor, says the New York Posts CORE
spondent at West Point.
The palefaces have encroached so
much on their hunting and fishing pre-
serves that game and fish are scarce
and the red men barely have enough
to eat. They are poor people. The
great problem for some time this win
ter was what could be found worth
taking to the great sachem" who fills
the gubernatorial chair.
They assert that they took their per-
plexlties to the Great Spirit and at
the last mlnute-just before the deer
season closed--a splendid stag, with
fine antlers, came bounding along
through the brush. Skilled marksmen
soon brought the animal to the ground.

Manufacture of Crackers

Absolute Cleanliness Rules in the
Manufacture of Crackers
The editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, discussing the important
subject of clean groceries, takes its
readers right into the factory itself:
Here is one of the greatest food fac
tories in the world. All told, it covers
twenty-three acres of floor space.
Here, in the cellar, you will find the
-four, sacks piled upon sacks, seventy
two thousand of them, before your eyes
and all that flour intended for the
manufacture of just one brand Of
crackers made by this firm.
"FlOur in cellar! 'Ah,' you say, it
may mold
ut can't. That cellar would put
your kitchen floor to shame. 1t shines.
1t Is dry as bone. And for the further
protection of that flour, it is not al
lowed to rest on the cemented floor, but
is piled on great trays or shelves raised
several inches from the flooring, with a
current of air between.
Now they are ready to mix cracker
dough, and the great sacks of -four are
carried by elevators to the upper floor.
where sack after sack is turned into
what looks like a huge iron bath tub
on rollers. When the required quantity
of -four is in this tub really a great
mixing pan, 1t is rolled under the most
wonderful spigots, through which flow
three sorts of filtered water-boilinx
hot, ice cold and the precise tempera
ture of the city water. These are blend.
ed by an equally wonderful thermom.
eter and barometer until they are at
exactly the right temperature. Theu
measured by meter, the water is turned
into the flour. The sponge tub is rolled
over to mighty mixer, worked by ma.
chinery, and here, for the first time, a
human hand, touches 1t. When the head
baker thinks his sponge is about right
ly mixed, he touches it. Like your
grandmother and mine, he says he can
judge Its texture best by actual touch
And his hands are as clean as his uni
form, which is saying more than can be
said for the average housewife in the
average kitchen"

Trouble About Removal Of Restriction

Trouble About Removal OF Restriction
The passage af the bill to remove

It's last days. After the conference

tions bill, and Chairman James ~har

house, II was hung up In the senate,
and for time il looked extremely
doubtful whether the bill would pass
or not The cause Of this doubt was
the conference committee had strick
en- out the senate amendment for the
rcopcning of the tribal rolls. which
was especially championed by jeff
Davis of Arkansas, and backed by
Senators Teller and IaFollette. Sen
ator Davis secured an agreement
with Senator Culberson OF Texas, the
democratic leader, whereby senator
Culberson agreed that the bill should
not pass the senate until Senator Da
Wis returned from Arkansas. and cv.
cry effort made by Senator owen day
after day for more tnan week to se-
cure the passage OF the BILL. was
blocked through this agreement.
The democratic members OF tho
house from Oklahoma held a meet
ing ana addressed a Round Robin
to Senator Culberson.
The substance of that communica.
tion was that the democratic party
of Oklahoma stoo for the passage
Iof the bill to remove restrictions
and wished Culbcrson. the leader
of the democratic minority. as rep
resentatye of the dem. cratic party
in congress, TO withdraw his oppo.

he did not do so. this letter was
TO inform him that his act did not
represent the wishes of the demo

his persistence which might defeat
the passage of the bin at this term,
would be- used by the republican
party With great effect. with the
possibility of defeating the democrat
