INDIANS DISCARD M ..,
THE OLD BLANKETS
Braves on Washington Reservation
Gather to Have Their Final Claims
Settled.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 5.-A general
council of Indians of the Pacific north
west has Just been concluded at Fort
Spokane, Wash, where is located the
Colville reservation agency. Hix hun.
dred Indians, many Of them rich in
lands and stock, gathered for final
settlement Of claims to reservation
allotments. Three, hundred Of these
came with petition asking that they
be adopted by the Colville tribe so
that they might secure division OF
the land. All who are adopted not
only receive some Of the land, but
share of the moneys due the tribe
from the government under treaties.
A remarkable feature of the gathering
was the fact that only one out Of ten
wore the Indian blanket, or was able
to speak any Of the tribal languages.

washington, Dec, S. - Governor
Wilson's success in keeping his own
counsel is getting on Democratic
nerves. More than one leader Is start
ing at shadows. Reports that Mr..
Bryan had been invited to Bermuda
alarmed nti-Bryanites, who feared
Governor Wilson and the commoner
would construct the cabinet meath the

that Mr.. Bryan is invited or is going
chased that phantom away.
Now it is said they will meet soon
after the president-elect returns.
Democrats here discuss by the hour,
not the probability of Mr.. Bryan's
entering the cabinet, but whether, II
he does, he and not Mr.. Wilson would

Hem of securing farm labor IN sufficient
quantity 10 enable this nation TO con-
Snue to produce ITS own food IS M of
he most serious confronting the country
md not less important than the trust
md tariff problems, is the opinion ex-
pressed here as a result of the study of
figures compiled by the Department of
Agriculture which show that the per-
rentage of the population occupied in
agricultural pursuits has been decreasing
at an alarming rate until tins situation
threatens to become acute.
How alarming this shrinkage has been
is indicated by the fact that while eighty
three per cent. of ali persons having
gainful occupations in 1870 were engaged
in agricultural pursuits, the proportion
dwindled to IS per cent. in 1900, the
last year for which figures have been
tabulated. Only the development of
farm machinery which has largely Offset
the diminishing supply of human labor,
it is pointed out, has made possible the
agricultural expansion, which has taken
place, and while the advance m this
respect has been remarkable it is not
thought likely that the future holds forth
Similar possibilities. Between 1855 and
1894 the time of human labor required
to produce one bushd of corn declined
from more than four hours and, one

insufficient for her needs 10 that which
she now occupies as probably the fore
most agricultural nation m the world,
Germany has relied chiefly upon the
of the sugar beet. InveStiga~
ton had shown that this crop when
properly cultivated greatly increased tho
yield of all others grown IN rotation with
It besides having in itself a cash value
far higher than most others. Bearing
this in mind Germany proceeded to
encourage its cultivation by heavy
.bountieS and protective duties with the
result that that country now not only
exports 100000 worth of sugar
annually but has doubled and trebted her
yields in other crops to a point 100 PEE
cent. m advance of the United States.
As a result the German farmer now
prefers to remain at home in the as
surance of larger yields and returns than
those secured in this country, and =
similar condition applying to other parts
of Europe upon which this country has
drawn to recruit its diminishing supply
of farm labor, it is the opinion Of experts
that Uncle Sam win eventually be forced
to follow Germany's example If he is to
bring his own people back to the farm.
Already a considerable start has been
made in this respect. The 1912 sugar
beet harvest in this country win probably
exceed 10000 tons and not only have

haif,to Al minutes, while the corn shelter
had reduced the time of Smelling a bushel
of corn from 100 minutes TO one minute.
That similar advances a be looked TOR
in the future is regarded as extremely
doubtful, but wen were such the case
the situation is further complicated by
other factors which make its Importance
wen o acute.
For years this country has been draw
ing heavily for its supply of farm labor
on foreign countries, the agricultural
development having been largely depend
ent on immigrants who have come here
TO begin as hired laborers, but who
eventually bought their own farms at
prices far below those obtainablc in
of supply has been decreasing rapidly.
In the great agricultural region
embraced within the North Central divi-
sion the percentage of white agricultural
laborers who were foreign born declined
from 1906 per cent: in 1890 to lbs per
cent. in 1900. The decline in the
Western States was from U.2o per cent.
to 2.86 per cent, and m the remaining
divisions the decline was perceptible.
European nations have awakened to
the need of keeping farmers at home and
as q result have been adopting agicul-
tural methods designed to accomplish
this result. While this movement has
been widespread, Germany, the country
which formerly gave us our largest
supply of farm labor, has apparently
developed it In the most successful
manner, with the result that the number
of German farm immigrants to this coup-
try shows q very marked decrease. In
deed 1t is the opinion of authorities here
that this country IS now facing the same
condition which Germany recognized

Going back to first principles, the
latest food fad is uncooked or SUM-
cooked food. The advocates OF the
idea say that before the use Of fire
primitive man took his sustenance as
birds and wild animals still do, and
there is evidence that he had better
teeth, a harder body and was exempt,
from many of the ailments from which
people suffer today" Therefore they,
urge that nature should be allowedrto.
do whatever cooking is necessary.
Tn, all nature" say these people,
every animal but mar finds food
ready prepared. Then why should hui.
mar beings boil and roast and fry and
in the end be worse off than those that
eat raw food? In fact we have eaten
some kinds Of uncooked food for years,
and so the step to a complete diet Is
not great.
Lettuce, tomatoes, celery and fresh.
fruits are all uncooked. They are not
predigested so that the stomach is not
deprived of it's rightful tasks. The
real fact is that unlocked food calls
for stronger organs Ink while it calls
for stronger organs it produces them.
No lion or tiger or cow has cooked
food; no fish requires it; no bird or
flower gets a boiled dinner. Why
should we?"
