INDIANS CREDITORS TO WAIT.
Government Also Rules That Credit
Must Be Stopped.

Lawton, Okla, Jan. 31.-Merchants
who have extended credit to Indians
in the southwestern country must
refuse to DO so any more if they
would collect back debts, and those
persons who hold mortgages on In
dian lands or otherwise. must not
foreclose them in 1912, are some Of
the provisions Of a statement given
out by Indian Agent Ernest Stecker
Many plans for mutual benefit have
been resorted 10 among the Indians
and the white people for the last
twelve months and this must be con
tnued if favorable conditions are to
prevail among them On account Of
dry weather and no crops, lessees of
Indian land appealed 10 the gov
ernment to extend the time of pay
ment of lease money As a whole
the government could not grant the
request but took the matter up and
in lndlNl1ual cases the redue>t was
granted.
This plan. however, in many cases
worked more or less hardship on
the Indians. They could not get
their mcney If the time for payment
was extended. So the order of the
agent lust given was the consequence
Indian traders will have to collect
ash from the Indians in future, but
those who hold mortgages on tn"
Indians must not foreclOse during
the year, so that the time can be
extended in this way and make it
cas- yfor the Indian TO pay out with
ont suffering any loss on account Of
foreclosure. The plan, it is believed,
will help everyone concerned.

JIM HILLS SCHEME.

Jas. J. Hill has had many big
ideas He is undoubtedly entitled to
the term long headed" He sees in
to the future, gets a grasp on big
problems that few men are capable of,
and solves them. And it is a mat
ter for congratulation to North Da-
kota and the entire northwest, that
he has entered the better farming
movement
For it is no secret that this bet
ter farming movement is some
problem. Undoubtedly the banquet
step toward solving it was taken
when the North Dakota Better
Farming association was originated
and organized. Mr.. Hills plan Of
letting the farmers work out his ideas
on their own land, With their own
tools and labor, but using his scienti-
fic principles, is probably almost as
important as the better farming as
sociation plan.
The results of the first year Of Mr..
Hills plan are very gratifying. He
has proved that the farmers them
selves. il they will use the proper
methods can double the output of
their fields,
He announces that this is but the
beginning, that next year the plan will
be carried out on an enlarged scale.
With so many forces at work to get
northwest farm lands properly and
thoroughly farmod there should be a
very bright future ahead OF this sec
ton Of Uncle Sans domain.

BOOKS AS GIFTS.

"a book should prove an acceptable
gift" This is the answer often made
TO the question. What shall 1 get my
friend for Christmas" It may prove
a valuable suggestion to the last
minute gift giver. Undoubtedly a
book would prove acceptable.
There are still good books in the
world. despite the lament of critics
that nothing but trash is printed now
a-days. One writer, speaking recent
" on this subject said that "it is prob
ably fact that more good books are
being published today than at any
other time in the history Of the world -
There are many true masters still in
the land Of the living.
Learned men Of all ages have had
much to say about the value of books
as well as much to say against GER
tain kinds Of books.
Wadsworth said:
Books, We know,
Are substantial word, both pure and
good;
Round these, with tendrils strong as
flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will
grow.
Against Charles Lambs reference to
books which are not books" there il
this preference expressed by Johnson:
Books that you can carry to the fire,
and hold easily in your hand are the
most useful after all.'
Most of the great men and women
have given high praise to books,
enough at least to establish the fact
that book is as good a gift to offer
as any other on the best occasion for
giving.

that have all too little cause for JOY.

YARNS OF The DAY
He Knew Better.

1t was a bitter cold day, the snow
was deep and the sidewalks frozen
hard. A colored man, bundled up in a
moth eaten chinChilla coat, stood
shivertng against a building trying to
avoid the freezing blasts.
Just then another darky, dressed in
thin, threadbare clothes and with no
overcoat came out of nearby barber
shop and started UP the street whistl-
ing cheerily. Still whistling, he passed
and glanced up at the darky in the big
chinChiua coat. The latter took one
whitening look at the passerby and
yelled:
Say, nggah, YOU can whistle as
loud as you please, but you can't me

Hello, Goodfellow. Your step is light;

A living song of the yesterdays.

Selfish song of the Christmas "Spug."

FIRE Damp

White damp is the gas most feared

it difficult to detect, inasmuch as it
is tasteless, odorless and coIorless, and
when mixed in the proportion of about
one part OF gas to nine parts air is
called "fre damp and becomes ex-
plosive to a degree hard to realize I'M
less one has seen its effects. Black
damp, unlike white damp, is heavier
than air, and is a ~non-explosive gao
which may be detected by it's peculiar
odor. Again, unlike the other, it's eff
feet is to suffocate and ~extinguish fire.
This gas is so heavy and moves with
such a sluggish flow, that occasionally
when miners have been trapped in a
mine following an explosion, and have
detected the black damp creeping in on
them by it's smell, they have been able
to stop it's advance by erecting dams
or barbados along the floor, building
them higher as the volume of gas in
crease, and keeping the air within
their little enclosure comparatively
clean by rude, improvised fans. Fol-
lowing an explosion, these two gases
become mingled, and form a mixed gas
possessing all the dread qualities of
each, which is known as "after
damp and it is this mixture of gases
which destroys any life that may re-
