PLAN INDIAN
FARM INSTITUTE
Dan Morrison's Plan May
BE Adopted
indian Shows ABILITY In work For In
dian Advancement In Farm Line.

Something new in the way of farm insti-
tutes is proposed by Dan Morrison, an In
dian, graduate of Carlisle university, who
has charge of the agricultural work of the
Indians on the Menominee reservation, near
Green Bay, and was at Madison Saturday
to confer with the heads o. the university
department Of agriculture relative preparing
such training sessions for each of the state
reservations.
The plan provides for institutes for the
Indians ON the reservations such as are now
held for the farmers through the state. 1t
would involve, besides the Menominee, the
reservations of Red Cliff, near Bayfield,; the
Bad River. near Ashland; the Lac Court
Orielies, near Hayward and the Lac Du
Flambeas, near Minocqua.
The University people are said to be con-
siderably interested in Mr.. MorriSon's plan
for these Indian farm Institutes and there is
big possibility that it will materialize. He
is native of this village and shows con-
cIusively that the Indian certainly knows
how to stimulate interest in farming. An
other nice feature is that it is an Indian that
has started the movement above stated,
which goes OH to show that they know
what their people need. The Indian is quick
to see advantages and grasp them. such as
the farming proposition ON this reservation
and it only needs more good roads to see
more farms as they are skeenIy alive to their
future. Speaking of farming recalls to
our mind in the early, early days farming
was taken up by the Indians on this reser-
vation. John b. Denomine was success
ful farmer and others which shows that it
had an eaaly beginning and of late years on
account of good roads it became more pros
porous.

DR.. William T. Owens, lately cap

cut ambulance company, G.. N. G., was
busy until late hour Wednesday
night in the state armory liz turning
over properly of the company to Coll
onel Henry S. Dorsey of New London,
acting as government property and
discussing officer. The company is in
a plight, having lost beside Captain
Owens, First Iieutenants Robert M.
Yergason of Hartford and Arthur NJ.
Landry of New Britain, two doctors
who have labored for the command
and who accompanied it to Arizona.
Its other commissioned officers are
First Lieutenants Herbert c. Oelseh-
hegel of Torrington and Frank A.
living at distance which forbids their
active participation in the work OF the
command, the company practically is
without officers. The ranking nom
commissioned officer is AlonZo D.
White, first class sergeant and first
sergeant, but he has no military right
to take active charge of the corn pany.
Colonel Edward Sc1uize, assistant
adjutent general, said that the COM
pany awaits bright medical man who
will take its command. The company
has fine material, Colonel Schulze
pointed out. 1t had an excellent rec
ord.
Colonel Schulze was told of rumor
that the company might be transferred
in name to another city, that the local
members might be discharged through
non residence, thus being put auto
maticaHy on the reserve list, although
not having served their full time In
the active service He did not believe
that this would be the case. He said
that possibly the company might be
transferred to Waterbury, which is the
home of DR.. Bowles. one of the first
lieateEants, but he thought this to be
very unlikely One OF the enlisted
men. First Glass Private Rudolph A
Cheilman. was transferred last night
to company, First infantry.

Captain Owens said positively last
night that the company was not dis
banded. 1t might DC, so he said, in a
state of suspended animation.
