HEATS HIS GARDEN.
Montana Man Uses Stove And Curtain
In Garden.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 24.-Early
frosts will have no terrors for the
garden of James Swartz, of Hotter
Dam, near here. The garden is heat
ed by stove from the inside, and is
protected on the outside by a cur
tain, which is lowered about it on a
frame.
The garden is seven feet square
and consists of a series of terraces,
built around hollow center to a
height of ten feet. Mr.. Swartz claims
this arrangement will permit grow
ing season from March 1st to Novem-
Der 10th, ninety days longer than or
binary in this locality. He says he
can grow as many plants on garden
of this size as would cover plot 40
x1OO. Many others expect to try out
the new experiment.

painful in passage. From big,

FALSE REPORTS ABOUT THE RED
CROSS.

In view of certain rumors that
have been circulated lately, | wish to
call particular attention to the follow
ing letter, which l have just received.
PAUL KOREN,
Chairman, Winneshiek Co. Chapter.
September %, 1917.
TO ALL CHAPTERS IN THE CEN
TRIAL DIVISION:
IMPORTANT.
A story is being industriously cir
culated to the effect that sweaters
socks and other articles knitted for
the Red Cross are being sold either
to the public in stores or direct to
the soldiers.
Harvey d. Gibson, General Mana
ger, American Red Cross, has direct
ed us to issue this notice to each
Chapter in the Central Division, deny
ing this story vigorously.
No articles whatever either knitted
or otherwise made by Red Cross
workers turned in to any Red Cross
Chapter, Branch. or to Auxiliaries, or
to any Red Cross Supply Warehouse
are sold either to the soldiers or to
any shops.
Mr. Gibson warns that if any will
full case of this sort should come TO
the attention of Washington Head
quarters, the charter of the Red
Cross Chapter or subsidiary organiza-
ton saIctioning it would be immedi-
ately withdrawn with full publicity.
Should it transpire that any actual
instance of the above character oc-
Cured wherein an individual sold ar
ticles after their having been turned
into the Red Cross, such action would
be clearly in violation of the funda-
mental law of the Red Cross and we
would take vigorous steps to pose
cute the offender.
1t is also true that any case of
persons other than those acquiring
the right prior to January, 1905, us
ing the name or emblem of the Red
Cross, to assist in the sale of mer-
chandise is a violation of the provi-
sions of the Federal Criminal Law
and the offender will be reported TO
the United States District Attorney
for prosecution.

and German as we'll as his native tongue.
He was self-educated in letters and music
in France and England.
Caupolican's story of his own people,
and their long struggle against the aggres-
sions of the Spaaiards, never fails to hold
his audience in breathless attention. Pride
of race is evident in every gesture, and his
stories OF the old-time triumphs of his
people are told in the manner of an ancient
bard celebrating a victory, rather than that
of the entertainer. While the story which
he tells is thrilling, yet the real climax
comes when he breaks into song. He is
the possessor of a splendid high baritone
voice and sings the heart songs of his peo-
pie with marvellous feeling and expression.
Altogether Chief Caupolcan gives one
of the most unusual and thoroughly at
tractive programs upon the American
platform.
