Red Squirrel the True American.

They make a red streak over the dark

the red squirrel we have always with US.
He will live where the gray will starve.
He is true American; he has nearly all
the national traits nervous energy,
quickness, RESPONSIVENESS, pertness, not
to say impudenoe and conceit. He is not
altogether lovely or blameless. He makes
war on the chipmunk, he is robber OF

HALL BREAKS OUT OF
MADISON COUNTY JAIL
If He Stays Away He Will
Not Be RearrGSted

Quitman, Ga, January 13.-Robert
Hail. the much married Brooks county
man, has broken out of Madison Jail
and his would-be prosecutors have
written to his relatives here that if he
stays away they will make no effort
to have him re-arrested Hall first
broke into the limelight last October
when his Morgan county brother-in-
law, Sherwood Atkinson, cam to
Quitman to investigate Halls past and
found he had deserted his wife here
some six or seven years ago and had
not been heard from since.
Mr.. Atkinson returned to Madison
and had Hall arrested on the charge
of bigamy; he was also charged with
assault with intent to murder. Hall
cleared himself of the bigamy charge
and the proofs he brought revealed
that he had been extremely busy mat
rimonially after he deserted his wife
and children in this county He went
to Jacksonville and secured a divorce
from his wife. Returning to Georgia
he married another wife, who died
later.
1t was then he paid court to Miss
Lawrence, sister-in-law of Mr. At
kinson and most estimable young
lady They had been married year
when the family began to investigate
his past. In the meantime his first
wife, who was a Miss Willis, has been
living with her father, J. w. Willis, in
this county in ignorance of the fact
that she was divorced
The charge of bgamy was of course
not sustained and Hall having escaped
Jail will now be able to pursue other
matrimonial adventures.

NO JOY IN MARRYING FOR GAIN
By Wnefred Black.
Dear Miss Black:

Dear Miss Black:
l have read your advice to so many
others, wonder if you can help me.
| married when l was but 16, because
| needed a home, and the man said |
could have anything l wanted and so
any place pleased-and that | should
never regret it," and l believed nj n,
and oh! l did want so much to be low
ed and appreciated.
This man, who was twice my age,
treated me with the greatest indiffcr
ence. He seldom spoke to me after the
first year except to give some order, or
curse me.
Maybe l did wrong; but I left Lin
when l was %; left with three babies
to support, and having specialized in
no line, l found it very hard.
When was 25 a man over 40 asked
me to become his wife. He had a $10,-
900 farm, owned a house in town,
which he said he would modernize;
had some money in the bank and y.Is
in a small business. He told me of the
nice home we should have and what
he would do for the children.
Still Wearing Same Things.
I've been married over two years
now, and this is the third winter and
am still wearing my old green coat
that was getting shabby two winters
ago. I've only spent 1925 for hats
since l married him Chats all lie
has given me, l mean Mother and
big brother send me a little money
once in while) My husband never
bought me pair of gloves or dress.
I've made the boys suits out of old
trousers and coats that have been Civ
en- me,and my aunt clothes my little
girl, still he calls me extravagant.
When l am getting a meal he says
have too much fire, don't l know coal
costs money! The first thing he
does when he steps in the house at
night is to turn down the lamp and
look in the stove to see how much of
fire there is, and then begin a lecture
on economy.

of liquor to Indians in Washington
under the dome of our capitol" show
ing that the laws now in force are
applicable anywhere"
The home condition of the Indians is
one of the most unsatisfactory fea-
lures of the Indian problem, accord
ing to the report, for which reas IN
special attention is being given to the
instruction of Indian girls. The charac-
ter and efficiency of the training given
to them must be improved, it is de-
2lared, because girls can be kept in
school only for few years after they
have attained womanhood.
The greatest investment the Indian
service has, continues the report, is in
the so-called returned students. There
are about $4,000 of these Indians, who
represent an economic investment of
about $4,000 These students, fire.
quently, are considered merely trouble
makers by the superintendent of the
reservations, declares the report. The
superintendent forget entirely, it is
added, that this class of Indians pro-
test against the order of things as
they find it when they return to their
reservations after a course in the
larger schools, because they have seen
better things, but have not quite found
their own way to them" Frequently
the greatest obstacle to their finding
their way lies in the government ma
chinery and personnel ITSELF" is the
conclusion. Every Indian school in
the country should consider it vital
part of it's work to keep track daily of
its students. They are the hope OF
the Indian problem. We would hardly
think of spending a similar amount in
training a race horse and then turn
him loose under unfavorable range
conditions to shift for himself"
The property interests of the Indians
constitute one of the greatest estates
ever held in trust by any organiza-
ton, government or private, the re-
port states. Including the lands, fo'-
ests, water powers, minerals and funds
held in tribal or individual ownership,
the principal held by the government
for the Indians amounts to $750,000,000,
and the interest and annual rentals
produce a total of $12,OOO,OOO.
Indian art and the industries which
produce it should be carefully preserv-
ed, in the opinion Of the commission,
Educational opportunities must be
taken to thousands of Indian childrel
not yet in school; industrial impulse
and opportunity must be given to In
dams who do not now value their pos

Washington, Jan. 13-That the
American Indian should be released as
soon as possible from the paternal
care of the United States government
now his guardian in virtually every
thing he does, was the opinion eX-
pressed in the annual report from the
Bureau of Indian Affairs submitted
to Secretary of the Interior Fisher by
Robert G. Valentine, until recently
commissioner, and just made public.
with all the expedition compatible
with the Indians welfare" the reporl
reads, they should be made subject
to the laws of their states and be
taught to look to their local govern
ment, instead of the national govern
ment. My conviction is that no pos
sible obstacle should be placed in the
affairs administered by the United
way of the transformation of Indian
States into the affairs of normal citi-
zens under the ordinary jurisdiction
of the states.
Il do not suggest further authority
fer enlarged federal jurisdiction over
minor offense on reservations. Impor-
tant questions of marriage and divorce
illustrate difficult points, of which the
only proper solution appears to be
education of Indians, whether or not
they are citizens, to comply with the
laws of their states"
Progress during the year in teach
ing the Indian to be sober and indus
trious, in educating him to be better
farmer and mechanic and imparting
health principles, both as they Apply
individually and in the home, was re-
ported.
The Indian service in all it's parts
showed increased activity during the
year, the report stated, pot in extern
sion of jurisdiction, but in graphing
more deeply and more intimately with
the problems it has to solve" The
campaign for good health and physical
efficiency among the Indians continued
with increased momentum, the need
for this work being shown by the fact
that the death rate among the Indians
is SO per cent. greater than that
among other classes of people in the
registration area of the United States,
while the mortality from tuberculo-
sis is three and a half times as great.
The war against the sale of liquor
to Indians was "waged with continu-
GUS vigor and successful results" the
report added, and the fight against
gambling is beginning to bear fruit.
Valentine pointed to the fact that two
convictions were secured for the sale
