Indian Forced to succumb

The white man and the Indian never could mix, and the Indian las had to suceumb. All of us admire the Indian and would like to see him survive for all time; but it appears impossible that with advancing civilization he can continue. The Indian simply will not submit to the changed conditions: he still dreams of the happy hunting ground, and the forest and stream, and nothing the government can do for him can reconcile him. The automo- mile and other things have helped him along in his reckless career. but tu- euberlosis has been the most destroy iug element in the life of the Ameri- can aborigine.

LESSON FOR TEXAS FARMERS
One Community, on Verge of starva- ton, Turns Attention to Other
 Crops Than King Cotton.

The farmers of Tunnels county, Tex, were on the verge of starvation. They had been depending almost wholly up- on cotton. and three out of every four crops had failed. Scores of families wanted to leave the county, but were too poor to move.
 Conditions got to be so desperate that the planters met at Ballinger, the county seat, to devise a plan for keep Ing the wolf shooed away till another cotton crop could be grown. Yet they still held fast to the one-crop> idea They did not see King Cotton as a tyrant-they blamed the thoughts and cIung to the forlorn hope that their next crop would be a big one But something happened to them at that meeting. A farmer from the northern edge of the county got up and told the crowd that, though he had not giv- en up cotton entirely, he was making as much money out of wheat and poul- try as he had ever made out of cotton lie was also raising cattle and hogs enough for his own meat, and a good vegetable garden was keeping down his grocery bill
 Diyersitication of crops, he urged, was the only salvation for the aver age cotton grower. His story was re- ceiyed with enthusiasm, and every man in the audience went home and told it To all the neighbors.
 That was two years ago. Last year the farmers of Tunnels county made money The cotton crisis did not hurt them seriously. They grew G0,000 acres of grain as compared with 100 acres in 1907. Before the awakening their poultry amounted to almost noth- ing this year it is valued at $500,000. or one-tifth as much as they got for last years cotton
 Of course conditions vary in differ ent localities. but what these Texans have done for themselves through di- yersitication can be done to large extent by fully one-third of the farm CTS in America.-Collier's Weekly.

Shooting Through Aero PropeIiers.

The use of machine guns on aero planes has been restricted because it was usually desirable to fire straight ahead and this could not be done on accouSlt of the propeller. But both Garros, the famous French flyer, and a German engineer have solved the problem by connecting the trigger of the gun with the engine so that the machine will fire only at the frac- tion of an instant when the propeller blade has passed out of range.
