On the Spur
of the Moment

BY ROY K. MOULTON.

Her Fate.
A pretty thing attired in filmy lace,
With studious and almost classic face,
So very staid and serious of mien,
That it is very patent to be seen
She's weighted with responsibility;
A message for the anxious world has she.
There are some wrongs she feels that she
U-on this one and all important night
She has it written down upon the scroll,
A message which is written from the soul.
And it is very plain for all to see,
She's going to read the valedictory.
The worlds been going wrong since time
It's up to her to right her fellow man,
And start him in the way which he should
There are some things the slipshod world
should know.
The time is ripe to peddle good advice,
And pearls of wisdom far beyond all price.
The night has passed, her paper has been
The world ways on and this fair maid is
wed;
OF some tall chap of whom she is the wife.
Alas. this is the melancholy fate

gardens and how to dress and edu-
cate their children. 1t has been
found that the field matron's work
is most important IN the improve
ment of home and health condi-
tons, said Mr.. Sells, and it is the
purpose of the commissioner to
increase these activities to the
! fullest extent provided under ap-
preparation of Congress.
Attention was called by the
commissioner to the large respon-
sibility involved in supervising
and protecting the property hold
ings of the tribes throughout the
United States. Sixty-eight million
acres of land are held in trust for
them by the government, repre-
senting with other possessions an
estimated value of 81, 900, 900, OOO,-
900. In many cases the land is
situated in arid and desert re-
gions and is of little value except
for stock raising. In other dis
tricts Indians have become pro-
priet0rs of large areas bearing oil
and gas. The Indian has IS, OOO,-
900, 900 feet Of commercial timber
still standing and owns $28, 900, 600

Mr.. Sells asserted that never in
the history of the race have signs
of it's advancement been so appar-
ent as today. If the same proper
ton of improvement takes place
within the mex: decade as in the
past few years, he said, it is con-
fidently believed that the Indian
problem will have been solved.

that have been made in Oklahoma,
Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and other states where
the red men are engaged in farm

progress in stock raising that is
being made by them in Arizona,
New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and
elsewhere. The latter activity
centers largely on sheep and cat

State Fair indian Exhibit.

The State Fair Indian exhibit
under the supervision of Supt.
Dickens of Red Lake, attracted
much attention at the fair, and
many favorable comments were
heard regarding it.
While the booth containing In
dian bead work attracted the most
attention, the other Indian booths
also attracted considerable atten-
ton.
Major Dickens is entitled to a
great deal of credit for having
such an attractive display from
only couple of reservations
which gave him assistance. Next
wear if he has another Indian dis
play, every reservation in Mime
sofa should give him it's hearty
corporation.
White Earth Reservation is the
largest reservation in this state
and has the largest Indian popula-
ton, but it furnished nothing to
Mai or Dickens display.
Some live members of this res
eryation should take some interest
next year in having White Earth's
resources represented.

The Red Lake ReSerVa-

The Red Lake Chippewas will
hold their annual fair this week,
commencing today and it will last
until Saturday.
The Red Lake Indians have al
ways patronized and helped out
the annual celebration here on
June 18th, and the members Of
this reservation should do all in
their power to aid the Red Lake
fair. Although it is held at a
season of the year when everyone
is busy in the fields and elsewhere
who can work, there are many
whose business does not keep them
so busily occupied that they can
not attend the Red Lake fair.

TRAINING TODAY'S
BOYS AND GIRLS
Secret Ambitions of Parents for
Their Children.
HOPE AIDS IN DEVELOPMENT
II Is Well to Realize That Backward
ness or Precocity Does Not De-
termine Child's Pos
sibiIites.
BY sIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

A LICE, almost three years old,
~ was very busy scribbling forest
"A and cloud effects ON the back of
n a circular letter; and she was
quite oblivious to the presence and con-
versatiOn of her mother and visitor.
"Can she write yet?" asked the visi-
tor. "Oh, no." beamed the mother,
''we do not wish to hurry her. But
she does love to play with pencils and
paper, and / think she is going to be
an author" The visitor smiled indul-
gently. But this is what she thought:
"She is just as likely to become
cheap clerk or a fourth-rate stenog-
rapher." Which is quite true; only
there is no use discouraging parents
too early in the game.
Parents naturally harbor secret am
bitions as to the future of the children;
we know that, because they sometimes
let the secret out. And it is quite nat
ural that they should, because they
transfer to their children the hopes of
their own childhood, the hopes that
never cystallized into reality. We can
| therefore understand why the scrib-
| blings of Alice should suggest fine
| writing to the mother, or why Tommy's
tinkering with the decrepit alarm clock
| should remind the father of that other
Thomas, the great inventor.
Not only is it easy to understand
why parents do such things-which
must appear rather stupid or conceit-
ed to the parents of other children
but it is very desirable that they
should continue to do more and more
of the same. For entertaining hopes
about children is about the surest
way of guiding our plans and bring
ing unity into our treatment of the de
veloping personality. The hopes can
certainly do no harm-unless they
blind us. But there is the real danger.
For if we have nothing to go by ex-
cept our hopes, we are just as likely
to be moved or paralyzed by our fears.
1t is natural for parents to translate
the random activities of their children

India's Jewels.
S5.5OO,OOO

Though India exports S5,5OO,OOO
worth of jewels annually, she is still
supreme in the world as the jewel
storehouse for all nations. Diamonds,
rubies, sapphires, tourmaline, gar
net and many kinds of rare chalce-
doMy are mined throughout her many
provinces. Rubies are principally
mined in Upper Burma.
One ruby of rs carats, taken out a
few years ago, was valued at 100000,
sapphires are mined in Kashmir, but
the mines, after having been worked
for over 900 years, are now said to be
giving out, though the yellow, white,
blue, and green varieties are extern
sively found in the ruby-bearing grav-
els in Burma. GarnetS form a valu-
able trade in Krishnagar, while large
quantities of turquoise come from Six
kim and Tibet, those from the latter
country being harder and of darker
and more liquid luster, and having
greater value.
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1916-08-04

into possibilities for achievement. But
it is just as natural to translate the
annoying or unconventional activities
into gnawing fear.
Charles Darwin tells us in his auto
biography of being rebuked by the
schoolmaster for wasting his time on
such subjects as chemistry. We should
explain this by saying that the school
master had no appreciation of a SUBJ
ject of which he was totally ignorant.
But he tells us further that he was
greatly mortified when his father once
said to him: "You care for nothing
but shooting dogs and rat catching, and
you will be disgrace to yourself and
all your family" Now Darwin's faith
er was not an ignorant man, and he
was not unsympathetic; but his imagi-
nation was not equal to interpreting
the child's interests and activities in
terms other than those of loafing,
shooting and rat catching.
But if the experience of Darwin
should lead anyone to predict great
scientific career for the son of similar
proclivitieS, he must be warned. The
youth of Patrick Henry was charac-
terized by alternating spasms of run
ming wild and hunting in the woods
and spells of extreme laZiness. mo
persuasion could bring him either to
read or to work." his biographer
writes. land every omen foretold a
life at best of mediocrity, if not of in
significance" Which only supports the
old suspicion that you must not put
too much trust in omens.
Again and again we find cases of
children who filled their parents with
despair and their teachers with dis
gust, only to emerge later into men
and women of distinction and high So
cial value. The timid youth, backward
in school and slow TO give any sign
of internal fires, develops into leader
in thought or in action. This Shoul9
not make us translate timidity and
backwardneSS into signs of leadership.
Henry Ward Beecher was so bashful
and reticent as a boy that he gave the
impression, according TO his sister, of
'sStolid stupidity In addition TO this
he was a poor writer and speller, and
had 8 thick utterance." No one would
have guessed that this ten-year-old boy
was to become brilliant orator, es-
