MERCHANT TELLS OF

There is no question that the
$4,000 bonds will be defeated said
merchant today. .And their de-
feat does not mean that the people
of Guthrie do not want a permanent
water supply. OF course, we want
water. Every summer we so through

result OF this election enables the

the commission honest? Was it not

(By Associated Press.)

London, Jan. f4.--Within two hour
motor ride OF Paris, Emperor wiz
liam of Germany, is directing most
violent attack on the French line.
The Germans, under the eyes Of
their ruler, won an important victory
in the fighting yesterday near Sois-
sons at point where the battle line,
stretching down from the north to !
point nearest Paris, turns eastward.
The Germans charged through heavy
mud and took trench after trench,
capturing eleven hundred prisoners.
Won kluck, himself, was in command
Of the Germans.
The new activities Of the Germans
under Won kluck, and which tho en-
peror is directing, indicates, II IL
thought, a second effort TO take Paris.
Both the allies and the Germans,
apparently, have thrown in heavyrc-
Inducements in the region Of Scissors
and a definite defeat for either side
might result in reshaping the battle
line over long section Of the Western
front. Ii

INDIANS QUICK 4
TOLEARN UNDER
SUPERVISORS
MAKE RAPID PROGRESS ON THE
FARMS UNDER SUPERVISION OF
ExPERTs-GoVERNhENT FARM
ERS.

Muskogee, Okla, April 2S.-Each
year shows marked improvement
in Indian farming. The Indian Is
quick to adopt scientific methods in
agriculture and underline supervision
OF the government farmers, the In
dians are putting into practice all
the teachings Of the department OF
agriculture.
Among the Five Civilized Tribes
the Cherokees and Chickasaws are
probably the most expert farmers.
They enter more zealously into the
task of cultiyating the soil and their
crops are superior to that OF many
white farmers. The government has
taught them TO be careful in the 50
lection OF their seed in the spring
blowing and sowing, and in the har'
yesting. They are forging ahead on
their own account now, although still
under the supervision Of government
farmers, and are making many i'm
proyements in their farms.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-04-29

The Creeks as a whole have not
proved to be as industrious in farm
ing as either the Cherokee, Chicka
saw. or Seminole tribes. The Choc
taws are also slightly in advance OF
them in agriculture. The excuse for
this is that the Creek land is located
largely in the oil districts and few In
dians drawing large oil royalties prove
very Industrious. Much of the Creek
lands are located in the Cushing oil
field
The Seminole Indians retain the
characteristics of the red race more
/ than any other tribe of the Five Civ
ilized Tribes. Although they are
classed as industrious farmers, they
are not as quick to accept the aid OF
the government farmers as are the
Cherokees and their Improvements OF
| the farms have been slower.

supervised by three government farm
ers.
Everything from stockraising to
harvesting and marketing OF crops Is
taught the Indian by the government
farmers. At first the Indians were
backward and accepted the advice OF
the government men grudgingly. The
supervisors toured the country, visit
ing each Indian farmer in his home,
and worked patiently to show him
that the government was trying TO
aid
Many Indians OF today, still scarcely
able to speak English, carry their trou'
bles to the government farmer in the
district and seek the solution along
scientific lines. They have learned by
marvellous proofs in the past, that
by learning to work as the govern
ment is willing to show them, they
will make their farms far more sue
ceSSiul.
Each year the government will pur'
chase seed upon the reimbursable plan
for Indians with land but no money to
buy seed. The Indian must then pay
the government back after harvesting
his crops and he has money left to
purchase his own seed for the com
ing year.
The Indian, under the teaching OF
the government experts, is in many
cases superior to his white neighbor
in selecting seed. The most scientific
methods of choosing seed is taught the
Indian farmers and they seem quick
to learn.
