Warren X. Moorehead, a member
OF the Board of Indian Commission
ers, has recently issued report in
which he goes into detail regarding
the methods employed in Oklahoma
and elsewhere, by which Indians are
separated from their property. The
analysis by Mr.. Moorehead is as old
as Adam, simply verifying how it is
possible for the strong-minded
whites to worst the weak-minded red
men. One practice reeounted is that
OF taking the titles away from the
Indians under the tax laws. In this
connection it is interesting to recall
tibet Colonel Zeverly Of AIuskogee,
while in the capital recently made
an emphatic denial that Oklahoma
titles were bad. but the Colonel did
not trace the trouble to the whites
who we're engaged in the gentle art
OF separating the reds from the Big
Chief Governments gifts. but to
Jealous Texans, whom he declared
kept this sort of talk going in order
that the people buying real estate
would go right through Oklahoma to
the Lone Star state.

LIGHT and FLEXIBLE
SPRING HATS.
Made Of Such Materials as
Chip and Japanese Straw.

Japanese straw forms many of the
mOdlsh hats this spring and, owing to
Its lightness of weight and flexible tex
ture, bids fair to crowd some of the
other straws into the background.
White chip shapes, velvet trimmed,
are numerous and often very attrac-
tive. They are fashioned with close,
upturned brims and rounds crowns.
One French milliner has used these
shapes with no trimming save artistic
knots and outstanding loops Of velvet
ribbon.
A turban Of white chip had the edge
Of the rolled brim trimmed with black
velvet about three-quarters of an inch
In width. while at the right side front
1t was Ornamented with a knot and high
standing wired loops of the velvet to
give the proper height.
Included in the same display was the
smartest Of little French hats In white
chip on turban lines. with the rolled
brim faced with black velvet. Direct
ly in front was placed the new dagger
ornament of jet
The same milliner also showed a hat
of chip much on the line of the roll
brim French sailor, with brim rolling
slightly upward, but much longer at
the back than at the front sides.
There was no trimming save little
punches Of tiny roses, set closely to-
gether all around the low round crown.
No two punches were the same color,
but they covered the range Of all the
delicate tints, melting into each other
without single jarring note. This
model was simple enough so far as
line was concerned, but an infallible
color sense was needed for the sue
cessful shading of the floral trimming.
Another hat, narrower of brim and
more aggressive. was of chip. 1t was
built much on the order of the English
walking hat, but the outline was sof-
tened by a dull blue ostrich feather
which encircled the crown. One large
feather was poised directly at the front
of the crown.
Touches Of cerise appear in the
spring millinery, and in some cases the
entire hat is made Of cerise A jaunty,
small shape had full crown of cerise
taffeta. and large bow Of cerise tat
feta trimmed the back Of the hat The
turned up brim was Of cerise straw.

.EMOLUMENTS THAT
COME TO GENIUS
An Authors Definition Of What
Constitutes Fame.

Upton Sinclair was talking about the
profit that publishers make from au-
thOrs.
The merchant" he said, pays his
statesmen 10 or 10 per cent commission,
while the publisher, who Is the au-
thor's salesman, pays the author 10 or
Is per cent, keeping the balance for
himself. This seems rather queer.
1T reminds me Of a noted authors
definition Of fame.
AS this author sat in his humble
cottage eating a frugal dinner Of bread
and water an admirer asked:
"'How would you define fame, dear
master7
Fame the author replied. thought

Mr. Lanuworth,s examination.

Representative Nicholas LOngworth,
one of the famous lame ducks of the
house, explained his defeat to Uncle

Illinois, as follows;
"At frst," said Mr.. LongwOrth, II

latlng among the people find that my
constituents are just little sore at
my constant absence from the district,
They like my company, and for the
last few years have had to attend

If a bill introduced by Senator
Kenyon prohibiting ex-senators and
representative from acting as
lobbyists, should become a law, a
large army of ex-statesmen would be-
come ex-lobbyists, and a great oceu-

calling has become so popular that
many congressman never think of
going back home after they have
finally been defeated, but use their
connections to remain right on at the

DESTROY THE WEEDS!

Any person allowing Russian
thistles, Canada thistles, Jim
Hill mustard or silver salt bush
to grow upon his land is subject
to a fine. 1t is the owners duty
to see that these weeds are re.
moved. 1t is also the duty of
each road supervisor to ascertain
whether or not there are any of
these weeds in his district and
il he finds any he must notify
the owner of the property to re-
move them before the seed has
formed. Should the owner re-
fuse to remove the weeds the
supervisor can do so and the
expenses become a lien on the
land. Several farmers who
make efforts to keep their farms
clean of such weeds have COM
plained many times of those who
do not. This law should be en-
forced vigorously.
