Big Indian Pow-wow

Seventy-fve Indians, comprising
members of four different tribes. Chip
pewa, Pottawotomies, Winnebagos and
Menominees, gathered at the Devils
Lake camp east OF Crandon last Satur
day and held ''peyote" meeting.
"Peyote" is a vegetable growth, and
when day it is eaten by the Indians.
1t is obtained in the southwest and
while some claim it has no virtues of
any kind, others say that the red men
has wiered dreams and visions after
eating it. Anyway, the Indian says it
is good medicine and nearly all of
them eat it. In connection with the
use of peyote there as a religious rite.
1t is claimed that the eating of peyote
and drinking whisky cannot be indulg
ed in, and, if that is a fact, we are of
the mind that it is godsend to poor
Lo.-Republican.

BETTER THAN A FORTUNE

e. S. Martin writes, and the Ohio
State Journal thoughtfully brings to
our attention, the observation that
"To have a trained capacity for self
supprt is like having a fortune. -
Of course it is, only it's far better
than that. It's having living and at
the same time the insurance that the
world is being repaid for the living.
It's at once insurance against want and
insurance against going to the dogs
from too much money and no work to
take up a mans time.
Capable, successful men have told us
that they shudder at the thought of
what they might have been had they
inherited wealth. And they may we'll
The palaces on the great white ways
of life are the monuments of many of
these inheritors of others labor, their
biographies are not found in history,
but you can reconstruct them from di-
vorce records, and if any one should
possibly want their autographs, he
will hardly give up without searching
the registers of insane asylums, pri-
vate and public. They set out to have

The Cigarette

lShawano Advocate: The last aegis-
lature passed a very strict cigarette
law, and if sthe law was at all observ-
ed it would be hard for the boys under
sixteen years of age to get the deadly
cigarette. Any one giving boy un-
der sixteen years of age cigarettes can
be prosecuted just as well as those
who sell to the boys. This is an ex-
cellent clause, andall will stand by the
officers of the law if they will see that
this law is strictly enforced. 1t is un-
desstood that couple of boys were
before the city justice last week for
having cigarettes.
Cigarette smoking is by far one of
the worse habits that can be formed.
If boys, when they get old enough,
want to smoke-and great many of
them do, let them commence on cigar
or an old clay pipe, which is thousand
times better than deadly cigarette.
If the young boys would only look
about them and see the evils of cigar
cite smoking, that ought to be enough
for them. This paper hopes that the
officials will see that this law is en-
forced and not wait to have complaints
made.

Indian Farmers Hold Big Fair
at Keshena.

This the season of fairs and EXPOSE
tions, when the best products of the
harvest and the live stock world are
brought together for educational pur-
poses. Such agricultural shows are
not confined to white farmers, howeV-
er, for nearly every large reservation
in charge of the department of the In
terror throughout the country likewise
hold it's fall festivals at this season of
the year.
At Keshena the Menominee Indians
held their annual agricultural fair dur
ing the past week. Prizes were offered
for farm products, live stock, poultry,
domestic science articles, fancy work
and embroidery. AS the Indians are
appreciative of help and anxious to
leara the modern methods that have
been such great boon is their white
neighbors, F. j. Volta outlined in brief
and simple terms some of the things
that make for successful farming in
northern Wisconsin, particularly on
the type of soil peculiar to the Menom-
inee holdings in Shawano county.
Representatives of the banks and
business houses of Shawano county
we in attendance and offered special
premiums for the agricultural products
raised by the Indians.

COMMITTEE ON COMMON SCHOOLS

DR.. b. o. Elliott, chairman of the
County Board of Supervisors, has ap-
pointed as members of the committee
on Common Schools for this county
the following: A. c. Luthey of Ca
vaur, A. A. Blandin of Crandon and
JosepA T. Sims of. wabeno. He has
endsavored to eatry out tho intent of
the law by appointing men conversant
with educational matters.
The law providing for the appoint
ment of a committee on Common
schools marks the beginning of a new
epoch In the educational history OF the
state. Thinking people, who have fol-
lowed the trend of educational devel-
opment in this state, realize that our
school system is top heavy. Lavish
contributions by heavy taxes have
been made to the higher institutions
of learning and the high schools have
been made feeders for those institu-
tions, the courses of study being
framed for that purpose.
The common schools, designed to ed
ucate all the children of all the people
have been sadly neglected, but the
people are waking up and the common
school will come into its own. Gov
ernor Phillip is to be commended for
what he has accomplished in lettering
the common schools.
Every effort is being made at pres
emit to induce settlers to locate in For
est County; county where the agri-
cultural possibilities are very great.
Churches. good schools and good roads
are among the least of the induce
ments held out to the new conner.
The committe on common schools
in this and in other counties of the
state can accomplish much for the ed
ucational welfare of the children by
increasing the efficiency of the schools,
and every effort of the committee to
bring about this highly desirable re-
suit should have the hearty support
and cooperation of all.

Pick Seed Tubers Now to Avoid the
Potato Blight

Farmers wishing to avoid recN-
curence of potato blight in their fields
during 1916 should make it point to
select seed stock only from crops
grown on land that has been free from
blight and rot this year.
Such careful selection of seed stock
is the only salvation in sight While
preventive measures, such as the ap-
plica ton of bordeaux mixture to plants
in late summer may often check the
blight, it is far wiser and safer to be-
gin by careful seed selection at digging
time Disease-free seed represents
the ''ounce of prevention" SO univers-
ally recognized as superior to pound
of cure.

The potato growing sections of Wis
consin are beginning active prepare
tions for the coming convention of ths
Wisconsin Potato Growers Association
to be held at Marinette, Nov. 1919,
1915. Many conferences of growers
have been held recently in co-opera-
ton with the executive committee OF
the State Association.
The interest in tha annual conven-
ton has been growing steadily. The
executive committee is able to report
| that every evidence indicates that all
the important potato sections of the
state will be represented by delega-
tions and exhibits.
The State Association fully realizes
that the most important phrase of the
potato situation in Wisconsin is the
matter of sorting and grading car
shipments. Shoald potato blight gen
orally develop again this year, this
question will demand immediate at
tention.
High quality and grade through
sorting Wisconsin potata shipments
will be the central subject of the con
vention. This will be supplemented
by complete exhibits, both commercial
and educational.
The State Association has begun
preparations with organized business
interests of Marinette and potato
growing interests of Marinette county.
The outlook for the most hearty and
enthusiastic cooperation of every bus
mess and farming interests in Mari
nette county is very bright
