The Society of American Indians has just
awarded the first prize in its annual essay

ed Miss Hunter for the splendid argument
she had presented
Miss Hunter is one of the forty Indians
who remained at Hampton without any
government assistance, and is preparing
herself for a life Of larger usefulness to her
people.
Two other Winnebagoes who are well
known are Mrs Dietz, a Hampton graduate
who is famous in the world of art as Angel
De Cora and Henry Roe Cloud, the first In

s,lant to notices posted by William Savers
president OF the Red Lake Indian Fa1f
Association for the purpose OF electlng OF
ficers for the Fair.
The old officers were UNANIMOUSLY re-
elected, and are as follows:
William Savers, President; Ed. Prentice,
Vice President; Francis Gurneau, Sec. and
Treas
The meeting was not largely attended,
only about forty male adult Indians being
present However, many people who were
interested in the gathering were unable to
attend because Of stress of work at home.
Several rousng speeches were made by
those present, all in support and praise Of
the Fair. The associations financial con
dition was discussed and it was determined
to try and get the Fair Association out of
debt at the next annual spring payment by
soliciting among the people, each member
being reluested to subscribe whatever he
thought he was able to pay towards that
end.
Pawn! way way be nais said he had al

Red Lakers, and expressed the opinion that

The meeting was formerly opened by
William Savers, who thanked the assOcia-
ton for the honor conferred upon him for
the past two years. William stated that
inasmuch as he had moved away from the
lake to such a distance from the Agency that
it was more or less Of a hardship for him to
attend to the Fair matters, and that he was
not d candidate for reelection ;and that he
thought there were several OF the others
present living nearer the Agency that could
fill the position as we'll as he. Billie seem
ed to be alone in his opinion, however, for
the Indians were unanimous in their choice
for his reelection. Billie Sayers has made
a good president. He has worked hard Tor
the success Of the association, has tried to
make it pleasant for the Indians and visi-
tors, and the council showed good Judgment
in his reelection.
Francis Gulnaar has been an able assist
ant to Mr. Savers. Francis, III the capacity
of secretary, has worked hard and says that
he is willing and anxious to do the best he
can another year
Ed Prentice. the Vice President, was not
at the council but Ed. has always been
strong supporter Of the Indian Fair organi-
zatiOn and last year was one OF the heaviest
exhibitors, especially in the stock exhibit.
Ed lost a little nephew which was buried
ON the d;y of the council, and it was thought
that that was what caused his absence from
the meeting.

Applicability to Various Insects.
Para a,dichlorobenzene is applicable
to many insect pests living under vari
Gus conditions and environment, and
therefore requires specific methods OF
application, and unlike carbon bisul
phid, it is at the present time used on
ly indoors and in other places where
its vapors can be closely confined. As
there is a great variation in the ten
acity of life among insects, the exist
ing conditions should be carefully not.
ed before a-dichlorobenzene is ap.
piled.
Beetles, such as the rice weevil,
granary weevil, the confused flour
beetle, the cadelle, the yellow meal.
worm, and few others less common,
are particularly hard to kill when in
the adult stage. The larvae of certain
other mealworms are likewise found
by experiment to possess great tenaci-
ty of life. 1t is therefore recommend
ed that a proportionately larger
amount of para a-dichlorobenzene be
used when combating these species,
Moths, flies reaches, ants, and
aphides are readily killed by para-di-
chlorobenzene when used in the or.
dinary strength as previously recon-
mended.
The action of observation-disclosures
on insects is primarily upon their ner-
vous systems. This property is read
lily manifested when a moth is exposed
to the vapors for a few seconds. It
first displays great excitement and
uneasiness, followed closely by spas
modic commissions and finally turns
over on its back. While in this posi-
ton violent nervous and muscular re-
flex action is noticed until life is eX-
tinct.
Para a-dichlorobenzene is a colorless,
crystalline substance, which evapor-
ates very quickly as vapor, if ex-
posed.
1t is not advisable for sensitive per.
sons to remain for a long time in a
closed room where ara-dichloroben
zene is freely exposed, as the odor
may cause annoyance. On the other
hand, ra-dichlorobenzene can be
used in closed or occasionally opened
cupboards and even in sit tinrogom
cupboards and even in sitting rooms
without causing any inconvenience
whatsoever.

RESIDENCE IN OHIO

New York, Feb. 27.-John d.
Rockefeller Thursday testified by
deposition at his home at Pocantico
Hills in an effort to avoid paying
a personal property tax of $1150, 700.
levied on him by the Cleveland, O.,
tax authorities. Mr.. Rockefeller tes-
tilted that he was not resident OF
the state OF Ohio; had not been for
the last fifteen years, and that con-
sequently be could not be taxed in
that state.
At no time during the last fifteen
years Mr. Rockefeller asserted, had
he had his place of abode or voted
in Ohio.
Mr.. Rockefeller was assessed on a
$311 600, 900 personal estate on the
ground that he had spent the greater
part of the year ending February |,
1914 in Ohio, and consequently had
established legal residence there.
The assessment was upheld by the
board OF complains and Mr.. Rookie
feller asked and obtained and OBJ
tained temporary injunction. Mr..

nent injunction and it was in re-
spect to this application that he tes-
tilted Thursday.

A NEW INSECTlCiDE
Will Kill Moths, Flies, Reaches and

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 27.-Para-
dichlorobenzene" is the formidable
name of chemical compound which
has only recently been used as an in
secticide but which, in being non-in.
flammable and comparatively mex.
pensive, possesses advantages over
other fumigants. The U. S. depart
ment of agriculture's new bulletin mo.

as an Insect Fumigant,' and points
out that the compound although dead.
ly to insects is harmless to human be-
ings under ordinary conditions, and
does not have an odor which clings
to fabrics as do many insecticides.
Directions for Using.
Para a-dichlorobenzene is applied in
most instances in the same manner as
camphor and naphthalene. 1t is not,
/ however, necessary to sprinkle it
around in corners or over rugs and
OtlleT material, dS is OlIen lle CdSt

How Put Up, and Cost.
Para a-dichlorobenzene at the present

PRODUCER CONFER;
ACCOMPLISH LITTLE

Oil producers from Ardmore, tleve-
land, Cushing, Tulsa and other oea-
gnous communities met in an infor-
nal conference with the corporation
commissioners Thursday afternoon in
an effort to ascertain just where
they stood with difference to the new
oil bill and to find just what action
would be taken by the commission
to enforce it.
Various opinions, ranging from ad-
vice to run he head off OF Cushing
to the opposite extreme of forcing
producers to limit production to a
reasonable market demand, were ad-
vanced. Owing to the fact that the
remedies for producers of one section
seemed to be poison for others, little
was accomplished save the know
ledge gained by the commission from
the airing of different opinions.
Commissioner Henshaw announced
that no action would be taken by the
commission until complaint or peti.
tion was filed with it, and that il
would then proceed under its inter
probation of the law. He also stated
that the commission in no case
would advise the producers how tC
form their complaints or what to base
them on, that province being lef
