bagc Indians be paid Immediately will
be the recommendation of Congress-
man Esch of La Crosse following the
decision of the treasury department
that the trust fund of over 100000
can not be distributed to the Indians
without further legal probing as to the
individuals entitled to it. There is
$491.95 waiting in the treasury for
each of the 1858 Winnebagoes in Wis

er is to the effect that no part of the
trust fund can be used to pay the sal
aries of the officers who have to hold
hearings. to settle just what Indians
are entitled to the money and in what
proportion. Because the winter has
been the mildest on record there is
little suffering among the Indians.

superintendent of Free Employment
Tells How Farmer Can Get a
Higher Glass of Men
on Farms.

MadlSOn.-"The capable, enterpris-
ing man in the country who makes up
his mind that he is to remain work
ing man all his life enters industrial
emplOyments where he can join with
his fellows in union and so get the
improved working and living condi-
tiOns," said the state superintendent
Of free employment offices at a session
OF the farmers ten day course at the
University of Wisconsin, so if you
farmers want farm help like the capa-
bic mechanics in the cities you will
have to do in the country what labor
unions do for the workers in the cit
les in the way of improving labor and
living conditions. Otherwise you will
lave to do as now-depend on the
more ignorant, less capable workers,
such as make up the mass Of common
labor in the country
"Now, why should not the farmers
have similar organization for dis
tributing farm labor? On a small
Gale that is now done by the state
Gated in Milwaukee, Superior, Osh-
kosh and La Crosse. But the system
should be statewide. If the farmers
of any community could get together
and send a representative to- the en-
ployment office in large city he could
probably pick out many farmhands
among the applicants and take them
with him and place them where they
are needed. That is what other en-
ployers are doing and farmers should
do the same"
