excitedly.
His question was put TO the elderly

other boys, all peering eagerly into

They hung to his footsteps until he
found himself, little further on, in
the midst of numerous crowd Of
youngsters. Each boy clamored for
the pedestrian to accept a flve-cent

What is all this?" demanded the
pedestrian sharply.

Smut Conference.

A conference of farmers was held
at Morrill, Hall, University Of Idaho,
Moscow on Saturday the 18th inst.
The object of this conference vas
the consideration Of ways and means
to prevent the development Of smut
in our small grain especially wheat
and oats.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr. Lyon, President Of the Farm
er's Union Local at Moscow, who in
troduced President Brannon Of the
University who gave an exhaustive
address on the life history Of the
sinking smut Of wheat followed by a
discussion by the audience
In the afternoon an audience Of
about 90 farmers listened to lee
ture of about two hours duration by
Prof. /. D. Cardiff, Director Of the
Washington Experiment Station. He
gave quite fully the results of his
Stations investigations during the
past six years of the smut problems.
DR.. Cardiff recommends a solution
Of one pound of blue vitriol and one
pound of common salt to FIVE gallons
of water for the treatment of wheat.
The wheat to be immersed for 10
minutes. The immersion of the grain
Is best accomplished by pouring the
grain into large tank or trough and
shoveling it over in the solution so
as to be sure that every grain is
thoroughly wet. Grain should be
dried somewhat after treating.
Prof. Cardiff promises that a bulle-
in giving full results of their investi- /
cations will be issued shortly and

GREEK TREATY CENTENARY

Taught by hard and bitter exper- fence that their warriors were not the equals of the soldiers of the pale faces. the Creek Indians entered into a. treaty just a century ago, August l9, 1914, by which they surrendered a great part Of their territory to the United States. The country ceded en- braced about half of the present state of Alabama, and it's transfer marked the beginning of the end of the Creek sovereignty in the South.
 About a year before the chiefs en- tered into this treaty the Greeks had made war on the United States, and in the first engagement on Burnt Corn Greek the whites, under Col. Caller, were repulsed. Flushed with victory. the redskins attacked Fort Mimms, a stockade on the Ala baI11a- A thous- and braves, led by Chief Weatherford and the prophet Francis. surprised the garrison. and although the defend CTS fought brave1y for several hours they were overpowered. The mass acre that followed was one of the most ferocious in the history of Indian warfare. In the fort were 245 armed men and 368 women and children, and of these less than fifty escaped. Gen Jackson was sent to the scene of warfare, and, after laying waste to a number of Indian villages, he faced the Greeks in a. decisive battlesat Great Horseshoe Bend in March, 1914. This was the bIoodiest battle of the war, and, although the redskins made a desperate resistance, they were dtterly routed and the power of the Creeks was broken for all time. On August 9th, the Creek chiefs, in solemn pow WOW, gave up a. large part of their ter ritory, and with the signing of this treaty the power of the red man east of the Mississi ppi was ended. A little later 9he Chickasaws re1inquished all claims to the country south of the Tennessee for 65so00:e The Greeks continued to- u-1Afaban1a until 1888. when they were removed to In dian Territory; where they received a grant of 3,215,495 acres. Before their removal to their new home, they sold all their remaining lands east of the Mississippi to the United States for $21O,0O0. The tribe's reserva-- ton in Oklahoma noWS consists of 4,750 square miles. They are classed among the Five Civilized Tribes, and many of the Creeks have achieved fame and fortune.
 The treaty of a century ago was an important document, for it marked the change of ownership of a vast stretch of rich country, and was sym boIic of the transfer of the whole continent from the resdskin to the paleface. The defeat of the Greeks made it plain even to the Indians that redskin supremacy was a thing of the past. Chief Weathersford and Tecumseh, who had melted the Creek nation to insurrection and who was killed in Canada in 1913, were the last Indian leaders who could style themselves spokesmen of a. sovereign race. And in way they were great men, these last of the Indian kings
