stock. The name of Spanish deriva-

NavaJos resemble the Pueblos rather
than the Northern tribes with which
they are affiliated In language. They
are hardy, proud and independent. but
shun no form of industry which offers
remuneration. and show much agri-
cultural skill They thrive without
subsidy from the government, which
provides them school houses. The gen.
eral culture Of the Navajos is similar
to that Of the Pueblos, but there are
some striking differences, particularly
as to dwellings. Instead Of the pecu-

They have also hundreds OF musical
compositions and series of complex
ceremonial dances known only to the
medicine men. Socially the Navajos
are characterized by a well.developed
clan system, with descent In the fe-

The tribe Is best known for it's
blankets. ponchos. rugs. belts. garters
and saddle girths, which are woven by

This bridge was made by Indian la

1t is not necessary to harvest Kafir

for after the maturity of the seed the
leaves remain green until frost time
and the seed does not shell out badly.
Kafir for fodder should be cut and
shocked like corn. The bundle should
be small and loosely tied, to guard
against heating.
Kafir may be cut with an ordinary

W. 7. Gentry Offers Cups to
Newspaper Men to Play for at
Brookhaven.

tn HE members of Atlanta's Fourth
Estate $50 called are now on
the eve, You might say, of
mixing up in another golf tourna-
ment, similar to the one pulled off
which so much success, not to say
eclat, last fall at the instigation of
George Adair, who thereby won for
himself great measure Of grateful
ness from lot of reporters, city ed
itors and such.
w T. Gentry is the Patron Saint
this time.
Mr.. Gentry has offered suitable
cups for a tournament among 80
newspaper men, or as many as shall
fill the flights, and 1t is to be per-
petrated some time in the very near
future, probably beginning next week,
unless the disaster at East Lake
shall constitute a temporary injunc-
ton or restraining order.
A NY man connected with any of
the three Atlanta papers will be
eligible TO enter the tournament. for
which handicaps will be arranged so
as to make the play as even as pos
sible. A good many players who
were the rankest sort of dubs in the
first tournament have developed into
pretty fair players by this time,
thereby bearing out Mr.. Adair's idea
that all there is to do to interest a
man in the royal and ancient game is
TO get him to play one round.
THE tournament will be held on
the links of the Capital City
Club at Brookhaven, presided over by
J. Fl. Mckenzie, better known as
"Scotty." As a special courtesy to
the entrants, the Brookhaven course
will be open. to them for pra ctice and
play from now until the tournament
is finished. The last tourney was a
leisurely affair, as it was difficult for
enough entrants to get away from
their respective sheets at the same
time TO wind it up very speedily, but
that made 1t all the more fun.
A MOTHER thing that looks rea-
"A sonably obvious is that there
will be a fair amount of publicity for
the enterprise. Also. the prospective
entrants should not have any partic-
ular difficulty in acquainting them
selves with the rules for getting into
the fracas.
