tribute to his racial triumph, be-
lieving, as l do, that when he

During the last few years a
rapid change has taken place in
the factors which make up the In
dian problem of the United States
Indian government. There are no
longer any war-parh Indians, and
for the main part the elders of the
red race have forsaken the old
ways and are attempting to follow
the paths of the whites. It is hard
for the old men and the old women
to give over the habits of a life
time and to rid themselves of in
herited tendencies. The older In
dians, however, are dying. as all
people must die, and the problem,
therefore, concerns itself largely
today with the young.
The effort of the bureau of H.
dian affairs is to provide for the
proper education of the children
and the grandchildren of warriors
and hunters who only a few years
ago we're free to roam the woods,
the prairies and the mountains,
and to whom restraint was un-
known. The Indian problem will
solve itself as the elders pass away
provided the United States gov
eminent does it's full duty by the
children of the people whose land
it usurped and whose right gener-
ally trampled into the ground

Aged Indian, Friend Of
The White Man,
Passes Away.

Aberdeen, S. DAN important
page in the history of the Nort5:-
west pioneer days was turned re-
Gently when JOB Ninayppte, an
Indian chief and government
scout, always friend of the white
man, died at Big Coulee, South of
Peever, S. D., of old age.
Born at Mendoza, how long ago
he never would tell, Jobs life
story was that of the Sioux Indian,
pushed back from post to post un-
til finally corraled on the reserva-
ton under government agents.
His quaint personal reminiscent
ces, which he never tired of tell
ing, would have furnished valu-
able acquisitions to the history
annals of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas.
At the beginning of the out
break of 1862, job was out on the
war-path against the Chippewas.
Upon reaching the village which
marks the present location of Big
Stone, s. D., he heard of the up
rising and hurried to the Yellow
Medicine agency in Minnesota,
where he found the Indians in
their war paint about to massacre
the whites and mixed-bloods be-
cause they would not assist in the
war. Quietly, by night, JOB
struggled these whites and breeds
from the cabin in which they
we're held prisoners, and hurried
them down the river in the boards
he had collected.
A few days later Little Grow
and his band of Sioux reached the
agency and went into a council of
war over the fate of other mixed
bloods who had come into the
camp, but who refused to partici-
pate in the uprising. Hearing that
the willy chief and his friends were
planning to massacre these breeds,
Job put his gun under his blanket
and stalked to the council meeting.
Entering Little Crows tepee,
Job demanded if it was true that
he proposed killing the mixed
bloods. Little Crow denied that
this was his intention. However,
Job went back to his tepee, threw
up breastworks that night, gather
ed the breeds behind them, and
stood guard himself all night.
The next morning Little Grow
and his band left, and a couple of
days later the entire band surrend-
cred to General Sibley.
1t is generally known that 38
Indians we're tried and hung for
participation in the uprising, but
few people know that over 400
warriors were imprisoned at Man
kato, MIMI, for four years.
Among these were Job and his
band.-Ex.

Valuable Information
For Potato Growers

Recent developments seem to indi
cate that Dawson county farmers car
grow potatoes much cheaper and far
easier by using a straw mulch in place
of cultivation. The straw mulch will
not only save cultivation, but will
make digging much easier, for the po-
tatoes will grow almost altogether on
the surface of the ground, under the
straw.
While it is probably not advisable
for the farmer to put all of his crop
in with straw mulch the first year,
until this method of growing is tested
out better, still the evidence seems to
be quite conclusive that this system is
practical in Dawson county where ir-
rigation water is not available.
Seed potatoes weighing from 70
ounces to pound and free from dis
ease should be selected for planting.
Cut these at the time of planting into
pieces weighing about two ounces
each.
In the case of early potatoes it pays
to lay the uncut tubers out in some
light and fairly warm place to green
for three or four weeks before plant
ing. During this greening process,
small stubby sprouts will appear and
when planted the seed will start
promptly. while seed planted dormant
might lay in the cold soil long enough
to rot before the sprouts reach the sur
face of the ground Late potatoes will
start quicker if greened.
In the case of early potatoes the
seed should be planted two inches
deep or just deep enough for germin-
alton Straw should not be applied I'M
til the tips of the sprouts show at the |
surface of the ground The tendency
is for straw to retard termination if
rut on early when the ground is cold.
In the care of the late potatoes,
planted after the ground is warm,
straw may be applied at the time of
planting. When this is done the seed
nay be dropped on the surface of the
ground and stepped on. This will give
LII the covering of soil necessary. The
straw used should be fairly free from
,baff and seed and should be applied
bout six inches deep. If there is dan
,er of it blowing off a light sprinkling
If strawy manure may be put on top.
70 attention need be paid to the rows
S the potato plants will push up and
eep down all weed krowth.
At digging time the potatoes will be
ound at or very near the surface of
he ground. Usually all that is nee
ssary is to fork away the straw and
lex up the Contributed by
