Bill to RecoUer
100000 Acres

WASHINGTON, May 34.-A bill to
recover title to 100000 acres of land
worth more than sSO.OOO.OOO granted to
the Oregon and California railroad by
the federal government fifty years ago,
was brought up in the house today. The
measure would authorize suit against.
the railroad for recovery of funds re-
ceived for sale of 100000 acres of lands
at more than $3.50 an acre, contrary to
provisions of the original grant.
Speedy action was urged on the
ground that an injunction against dis
position of the lands issued last De-
cember ., by the supreme court OF
the United States expires June 9. The
measure is of special interest to 49,
000 persons to whom agents sold the
land fraudulently and who were de-
prived of their rights by the supreme
court decision.

Dogs killing Animals Force the Murphys
To Dispose of All


TOWNSVILLE, May 1S.-The sight
of 1850 head of sheep being driven
through the streets of Thomasville yes
terday afternoon, on their way to the
Atlantic Coast Line freight depot, at
tracted much attention, as it was a very
unusual sight here.
The sheep had been the property of
the Messrs Murphy, well-known sheep
raisers living near Coolidge, and had
been sold by them to a Chicago firm for
the uniform price of $3.50 per head. This
was considered a low price. especially
as the wool on them will bring consider
able, but it is said that the owners have
been so worried by dogs killing their
sheep they decided to sell out.
The Murphys, through several genera
tions, have been in the sheep-raising
business in this county for more than
a half century, and have made consider
able money, so that their selling out
came as a general surprise.
Sheep are good for food. Mutton is
choice meat, and lamb chops are No. i.
The wool that we clip from the sleeps
body is high priced valuable stuff.
Nothing sells easier than good wool.
What an object lesson is this to the
whole state! The men who go to the
legislature are devoted to dogs, not
sheep. They know that dog meat does
not sell for food and nobody thinks of
.skinning dead dog for any use what
ever. Dogs as a rule are nuisances,
and dogs that@are good can be kept in
limits. But our legislators prefer dogs
to sheep. What commentary on their
brains,
1t was a pity that these sheep raisers
could not wait a few weeks and present
their grievance to the next meeting of
the Legislature 80 49,.
Just this showing and this great in
justice to wool raisers might have turn
ed these dog lovers into decent attitude
for this legitimate business OF raising
good wool and good mutton!

WILL THE TWO GREAT METHODIST
SOCIETIES UNITE2

The Methodist church (north) has
been more or less anxious to bury the
Ratchet and unite with the Methodist
Episcopal church (soUth) for q good
many years. The northern church is
having a quadrennial conference at
Saratoga, n. Y, at the present time.
Bishop Hendrix, of the southern church,
is attending the meetings and listening
to the debate in unity in Methodism.
presume the two bodies will unite in
the future time enough heing given
1 felt sufficient. interest TO hunt up
the reasons for the division which has
lasted for more than seventy years, and
the division was attended with great
bitterness on the subject of slavery. A
of southern delegates was
held in Louisville, KY. on May 1, 1915,
and organized the southern church under
the title of Methodist Episcopal church,
south.
The split, as our readers will remem-
Der, grew out of the suspension OF
Bishop ]. o. Andrew, a Georgian, from
his Episcopal duties, a condemnatory
vote of 10 members for and IS against.
Rev. A. B. Lonsstreet. of Georgia, pre-
scented the southern, delegates view in a
resolution 20 the general conference be-
fore the withdrawal of fifteen or sixteen
southern conferences.
Bishop Andrew was given mulatto
girl to raise until she was nineteen
years of age The mother OF Mrs. An
drew (the first wife, left to her a negro
boy, and she dying without a will, the
bishop inherited the boy as property. In
1914 Bishop Andrew married lady
possessed of slaves, secured to her by
a deed of trust. The ownership of these
slaves was the cause of the split OF
Methodism in the United States. In
truth the ownership of one negro boy
by Bishop Andrew was the entering
wedge which eventuated in the seces-
sion of the Confederate states. 1t be-
gun just there. From 1914 to 1861 was
less than twenty years, but the torrent
of disunion grew louder and fiercer
every day of that time until secession.
1t may be wise to unite these two
great societies at this time, but my
judgment is (perhaps worth but little)
that the time is not yet ripe for 1T.
There is. too much sectionalism to make
sure of a harmonious unity. Better to
go slow and to ponder well the danger
of friction and the influence of racial
prejudice

A MorH1R's PERPLEx1r1Es.

Dear Mrs Thomas: There is nothing
that l enjoy more than L do the let
ters in your department. This is busy
time with ali of us, but 1 wish that the
writer's would come oftener. The flower
and chicken letters are fine, but as
have five little children you can readily
see that l read with eageIness any
thing that is on the line of child train
ing.
There are problems every day, and
no two of the children can be managed
the same way.
Some people have a vague idea that
if a child is good that is all there is
to it, and if it's bad, why just give it
a good spanking and straightway it will
get good.
There are some mothers that, it seems
to me, only feed and clothe their chill
dren-there is no companionship between
them and either would actually be en-
barrassed at the idea of confidential
talk with the other. The little happy
secrets" that they might have are to-
tally unknown.
When a mother has time to give an
hour to her children she need not preach
to them, nor tell them how bad they
are, but let them tell her Of their little
problems. A good time to hear their
perpleXities, for all children have them,
is when you hear their prayers. I GER
tainly feel sorry for child and mother
if she hasn't time to gather the little
ones about her and hear them say Now
lay me" and as they grow older teach
them to say Our Father who art in
heaven"
And James Whitcomb Riley has writ
ten a prayer that we mothers would do
well to memorize. It will help us many
a time when we are cropping for helpful
thoughts.
Dear Lord, kind Lord,
Gracious Lord, 1 pray
Thou wilt look on all I love
Tenderly today.
Weed their hearts of WEAKNESS;
Scatter every care,
Down a wake, of angel wings
Winnowing the air.
Bring unto the sorrowing
All release from pain;
Let the lips of laughter y
Overflow again!
And with all the needy,
o, divide 1 pray,
This vast treasure of content - +
That is mine today"
Some time ago one of the writer's
told of yellow root curing pellagra. My
paper was accidentally destroyed, and
there is a neighbor of mine who wants
to write to the one recommending it,
Will she please write again?
My chickens are bothered with sore
eyes, Their lids swell. till they are
blind. / have used vaseline. Some get
well, but more die. Who will write and
tell us what to do?

INDIAN CHILDREN EDUCATED By
- U. s.. GOVERNMENT.

. U. s.. GOVERNMENT.
On March %, 1916, U. S. Senator Lane,
thus discoursed in the senate: THE
Indian boy or girl is taken from its
home to an Indian school-far removed
from the climate and country where 1t
was raised. 1t remains in school from
s. and 8 years old-until il returns
home. The child having acquired a
taste for better ways of living
for better dress and the living of white
people-then goes home to the Indian
shack-a one-roOm shack, without a
bed. without sheets or blankets, with
out anything to sleep upon but rags.
This little shack holds the family,
brothers. and sisters, sixty per cent of
them afflicted with tuberculosis-75 per
cent with rachema-overheated in
winter-in dire poverty-without enough
to eat, without a dollar to go out in
the world with-without a hog or
horse or a pillow or a harrow, without
package of garden seed and no OPP
portunity to make a cent. Now what
put on a blanket-glad and thankful
under high heaven to get blanket to
put on. They are not only compelled to
go back. but conditions are such they
can never hope to rise or to succeed
in life. The result is disastrous
and obliged to be SO. These boys go
off and get drunk occasionally and the
girls go off and go to the devil. This
need to astonish no one.
This is what We are doing to the
Indian children. We have tried 1t. for
years and 1T is failure.
I'VE should go on the reservation
not with $4,000 to send them to school.
but with $4,000, 600 or s4O.OO0,O00 of
their own money If necessary to put
them in a position where they can make
themselves elf-supporting-wher they
can live respectable and in decent COM
fort. Your boy from Carlisle-your girl
from Carlisle-and from the school in
Oregon where live meet the same fate"
What a commentary on our Indian
school systemi -.--

are interesting because we find that in
stead of the luxury sugar having gone
up 1t is the FOOD sugar that has rai5sA
its price. Yet-even though the price is
up we have to have our sweet food just
the same.
Certainly the makers Of that delicious
beverage Coca-Cola must have dis
covered that sugar is up, because one Of
the principal ingredients in making Coca
Cola syrup is fine cane sugar. Think OF
it!-they use an average of 80 tons OF
sugar day-about cafloads. But IN
like many manufacturers that company
has itself borne the raise and so you and
1 pay just the same today for our bottle
or glass of Coca-Cola that we've always
paid. Incidentally, this phase of the sit
