The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-25


 There will be two Indian surprises this week, one by the Okoboji Indians at Cedar Point. near Sandusky, O.; and the other by the Canadian Indians at Burlington Beach. Canada.
 In days gone by when scalping was the favorite sport of the Indians. they did not seek publicity. They carle un- heralded. But times have changed Nowadays. when the Indians go on the warpath they want everyone to know that they are coming.
