Did Stikwau, high chief and medi- cine man of the Copper river Indians, have a knowledge of hypnotism, and if so, where did he get it and how long have the medicine men of the tribe possessed the knowledge? Or IS it possible that Stikwan personally dis covered his own mesmeric powers and kept it secret. applying it as means of holding his autocrauc position among the members of the tribe.
 The following tale is told by mem bers of the tribe regarding the pow CTS of the great chief, which indicate that hypnotism, or suspended anima- ton, or some similar power played an important part in the ceremony of the medicine man. It Is said that once, while in the height of his power and vigor Stikwau announced to the tribe that his wife had dicd There was wailng and moaning, and the mem bers of the tribe were called in to view the body. There it lay within the house of death apparently in riror mortis. It was proposed that the women prepare che body for burial, ] but the big chief said them nay. He announced that the woman's spirit had mamooked to far country and : that at the end of ,hrcc days she would return and he would call her back to life.
 At the stated time, aud in the pres 1 ence of many member of the tribe, . with passes and incautations, shout . ings and bcatings upon the native drums. he commanded life to return to 1 the body of the woman, and behold, within short time she displayed :. signs of returning consciousness, and . later arose from her couch and walk ed, living for many years a witness to i the miraculous powers of the hyas ,yec.
 To the natives it appeared that Chief Stikwan was possessed of the power to restore life and this fact added greatly to his prestige Stik- wan. from the stories told of him, must have been a native of unusual accomplishments, and his hold upon the natives was absolute. In trade with the white men he was as shrewd as the best of them, and under his rule the tribe was well supplied with

GEN. H. G. OTIS
FOEOFUNIONISTS
LOSESLAST FIGHT
DIES IN CALIFORNIA ON
MONDAY.
As Owner of the Los Angeles Times
He Waged Relentless Warfare
On Organized Labor.

General Harrison Gray Otis, owner
of the Los Angeles Times, died at the
home of his son-in-law, Harry Chan
dler, Monday morning.
General Otis, soldier, journalist and
opponent of union labor, was born near
Marietta, O., February 10, 1887
Following the Civil war, Otis re-
turned to the trade of printer. for
which he had abandoned school at an
early age, acquiring, finally in 1882, a
fourth interest in the Los Angeles
Times. Previously he had served for
four years as foreman of the govern
ment printing office at Washington.
Quite early in his career as editor
and publisher of the Times, for he
speedily secured full control Otis came
into conflict with organized labor and
thereafter until the day of his death
he waged an unrelenting warfare for
what he termed industrial freedom.
In addition to his son-in-law, who is
assistant general manager and treas
urer of the Times, General Otis is sur
vived by two daughters, Mrs. Chan
dler and Mrs. Franklin Booth of Los
Angeles, and thirteen grandchildren.
In 1890 union printers on the Times
were locked out, and for twenty-seven
years the contest between General Otis
and the International Typographical
Union has never Jagged.
Two of the men who We're employed
on the Times when the fight started,
are now well known residents of Colo
rado, and still carry membership in
the Typographical Union. They are
Fred B. Mason of the La Junta Trib-
une, and Charles Wildey of the Mer-
genthaler Linotype company.

not enough trained men and women to

the last two weeks we had calls from
Is different business houses for COM

be needed to fill their places. Learn

Urania, Saturday, May 10, when a
distinguished gathering of citizens
and officials of the state will discuss

The Garden Must Have Sunlight.

No amount of fertilizer, water and
cultivation will make up for the ab-
sence of sunlight in a garden. Home
gardeners befose attempting for the
first time to use back yard or other
space should consider carefully how
many hours day any part Of the yard
is in shadow from buildings, fences or
trees. At least FIVE hours Of sunlight
a day is necessary for successful
garden. The more sunlight they get
the better it is for most vegetables.
For this reason it is a poor practice
to put plants of low growth between
tall-growing plants which, will shade
them for the greater part OF the day.
AS rule foliage crops such as lettuce
and spinach do fairly well in partial
shade, but even these must have sun
shine two or three hours day. In
laying out the garden, therefore, use
shadier parts for such plants and re-
serve the sunny spaces for those which
must have plenty of sunlight to grow
and fruit properly.

Milford, Pa, April 26, 1917.
Editor Chief:
In this great time, when every citi-
zen must do his part, the president
has made his chief appeal to the men
who live on the land. He is right in
doing so, for the safety of our coun-
try just now is in the hands of our
farmers. What | mean is not mere
ly our safety and the safety of our
allies in the matter of food. I mean
that the safety of the United States
against foreign invasion hangs on the
decision of the farmers of the forty
eight states.
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France-the war against star
vation will be won or lost in America
The kaiser cannot whip the French
and English armies and the English
navy while England has food. But it
is still possible that the German sub
marines may be able to keep food
enough from reaching England to
starve her into submission.
If the submarines win, the first item
in the kaiser's terms Of peace will be
the English fleet. With the English
feet in his possession, the kaiser will
be master Of the world.
What will happen to US then?
Every man who stops to think knows
the answer. We shall have money,
food, labor, land-everything that is
desirable in the world except the pow
er to protect what we have. Experts
estimate it will take. US nine months
to get ready to meet a German army
Of even 10000 men, with modern
artillery. Under such circumstances,
would the Germans treat us better
than they have already treated Bel
gium and France?
Even if the armies of our allies
should crush the German military
