Indians Sell Land
And Buy Motors

Wheeler, S. D., May 30.-(Special.)
Many of the Indians who recently
participated in the ceremonies at
Yankton Indian agency attendant
upon deeds to government land being
turned over to them by Secretary
Franklin K. Lane in person, now are
busy spending their wealth for auto
mobiles. The money with which they
now are provided was received from
the sale OF their farms to white pur-
chasers after they had received the
deeds from the government. In the
last ten days more than fifty of these
Indians have purchased automobiles
from dealers between Platte and
Dante. They believe that to be the
owner OF a buzz-wagon is far ahead
of being the owner OF farm. AS the
government has no control over the
sale Of the lands since deeds were

country for every one 10 live in.
What I'thus say does not represent
anything new in principle. On the
contrary, the principles thus set
forth have received the lip loyalty

after election, forgot their pre-elee-

Used was that the party who did the
delivering of the machine would stay
until the purchaser became thorough
ly familiar with the working of the ma.
chine. When the machines were de-
livered, no part Of the agents agree
ment was lived up to and If the ma
chimes were not satisfactory the pur-
chasers were forced to take them &C.
cording to the terms of the signed con-
tract. Cne farmer of this community
strenuously objected and attempted to
refuse the machine because it was not
satisfactory and did not measure up to
the representation of the agent. He
was informed by the Fargo office of
that concern that the only agreement
the company was responsible for was
the one embodied in the signed con-
tract. He appealed to the states at
torney of this county regarding the
matter, but the attorney stated that
unless more than one purchaser made
a complaint it is rather difficult to get
a conviction on the grounds of Grim

high cost at the border Of some of the

not included in the provisions that
Uncle Sam gives his soldiers. The

NORTH DAKOTA A DAIRY STATE

Farm and Fireside: Thirty years
ago North Dakota was a COW state.
Thousands and thousands of beef cat
tie grazed over the unfenced prairies.
The homesteaders and grain farmers
drove them westward.
1t was bitter fight for years, but
the ranchers lost. Cattle became
scarce in North Dakota.
Then when wheat farming proved
uncertain, John Christianson it was
who first persuaded bankers to ship
in dairy cattle and sell them to the
farmers on the instalment plan.
Dairying is now statewide indus.
try in North Dakota, thanks to his
work, and failure of the wheat crop
does not now spell disaster and pow
erty, for the dairy will support the
family.
