The more exercise the eve gets the
healthier and stronger the lambs are
likely to be. The ewes will also deliver
their lambs more easily. Some men ad-

ewes to the field and spreading it about

obtain exercise by running about from

days they should be left in the barn,

INDIAN FEUD
WAS SETTLED
Bad Blood Between Chippewas and
Sioux Came to Climax
in Thrilling
Fashion.

The federal authorities of old FIT.
Smelling in 1927 sought to stop or
avoid the feuds between the Sioux
Indians which roamed the plains to
the south and west, and the Chip
pewa, who lived to the north and
east. There was considerable trouble
with these tribes. The attempts of
the fort authorities were only par
tally successful and there were fire.
uuent outbreaks between the tribes.
Much of the fighting between the
redmen took place around the fort,
each tribal contingent travelling in
the general direction of old Smelling.
When Major Taliaferro returned
from an eastern trip in May "a a
deputation of Sioux welcomed him at
the landing as his steamer pulled into
the dockage. The welcoming dele.
cation also came to hold confer
ence regarding their tribal enemies

their chief in Falmouth, came to the

the following morning. learning that
the officers demanded reparation,
sent one of their warriors to the fort.
Eight others were later captured by

The parents of the boys of Keokuk
should be very proud of their sons
after the response that the boys have
made to the army Y. M. G.. A. war
fund. If patriotism can be shown
by a willingness to serve without e1-
pecting anything in return, the boys
of Keokuk have surely shown that
spirit. And the boys that have re-
sponded most nobly are the boys
under draft age. II the war con-
tinues for several years, and these
manly fellows are needed IN the
trenches, we may rest assured that
the boy who is willing to give now
will not be standing back If he Is
called upon. During the past week
one hundred and seventy-eight boys
signed up to earn and give ten dol
lars within the next ten months, or
| one dollar per month until the full
ten dollars has been paid to help the
soldiers at the front. The boys start
ed out the first Of this week to raise
two thousand dollars, and 1T is be.
lieyed that before SHUTDOWN tonight
they will go lover the top" This
money is to be used expressly for the
purchase of food packets for prison
ers of war. A man cannot live on
the rations served in the prison
camps, which consists of three bowls
of weak soup per day, and dollar
will buy enough food to keep pris-
oner from starving to death for one
month. Surely we want our sammles
that have gone "over the top ana
have been taken prisoner to come
back to us after the war Is over.
Some few boys have been asked to
give to this work and have been
found to be too selfish to sacrifice
some of their 1uxuries or to work In
order ito do their bit" These boys
have been properly labeled "slackers'
| by their schoolmates.
| The students at st. Peters high
school were found to be one hundred
per cent patriotic when they were
given the chance to sign up ito do
| their Bit" and the thirty-three boys
in that school agreed to earn and give
ten dollars to the war work being
done for the soldiers.
At Keokuk high school there were
one hundred and twenty-four sign
ers, but this Is only about sew
enty per cent of the boys in the
school and shows too large a
percentage of "slackers." A sys-
tematic canvass is being made by
students to get these other boys to
sign up, and 1t is proposed Cnat tueiF
names shall be made public If they
do not come across.
The employed boys OF the city are
planning to do their bit, and are try
ing to swing their end OF the cam
paign to successful close by to-
night.
A Patriotic Service league will be
organized by the boys that have sign
ed I'D in this campaign, and the
business men Of the city will be ask
ed to help the boys earn their ten
dollars by giving them odd jobs toNdo
in the factories and wholesale
houses.

Off In the importation of furs from
abroad as a result from the war, the
United States is no longer depending
upon its neighbors, but must furnish
it's own supply.
This has created a marked adj
vance in prices and trappers have a
strong incentive to snare many pelts
while the demand is heavy. In the
warm months nature conforms to
conditions by clothing animals light
ly, and, for this reason, the fur is
Of poor quality, but as soon as the
temperature drops. thicker, and con-
sequen1y more valuable, becomes
the pelts not only to the animals but
to the trapper as well.
Pelts, like oysters. are good in any
month containing an r." bur the
colder the weather, the better. Musk
rats furnish the bulk of the skins
shipped out of Illinois each season.
These animals are very prolific and
every small creek or river abounds
with them. Muskrat pelts are uusally
dyed or blended or sold under the
trade name Of river mink" They
are often used in their natural colors
for coat lining and also made into a
variety of limitations of more expen-
sive furs.
The skunk also furnishes a large
proportion of the pelts produced in
Illinois and also bring higher price
than the muskrat. averaging So.
Skunk pelts. when properly tanned,
are very handsome and are usually
sold under the name Of "marten."
Mink is the most fashionable and ex-
pensive of native furs and are usual
ly sold IN their natural colors. The
raccoon is hunted by the farmers for
sport as we'll as for its pelt. Since
so much of the timber has been cut
down, coons have become scarce.
Stress of demand has induced deal
ers to handle pelts that were con-
sidered of no value q few years ago.
1t has been found that rabbit skins
make excellent trimming for over
coats and like garments. Suirrel and
ground hog hides are also coming
into general use It is estimated that
the fur harvest in Illinois will net
more than S1,00O,000 this season.
This modest industry shows no signs
Of becoming extinct despite the pre-
dicted disappearance Of the wild anil
mails. Veteran trappers believe that
the number of skins taken will run
far ahead Of former years while the
returns will be 20 percent higher.

he became master Of the business and

OF course he has been in politics
