In celebrating before Congress our
objectlves In the war. President Will
son made a comprehensive contribu-
ton to the discussion of peace. As
far as he could, he enunciated a
definite program Of war aims quite
accurately reflecting the minds of the
people Of the Emitted States.
Destruction of the whole pan-Ger-
man dream. the real foundation of
the Prussian menace of thu world,
is imperative IL our objectives are
to be attained. And the chastening
Of the allies Of Germany is among
the indispensable prerequisites to such
conclusion. Logically then, we
must recognize the existence OF a
state Of war with Austria Hungary,
He is not logical in refusing to take
the same attitude toward Bulgaria
and Turkey, for their case is the
same as the others.

THE greatest usefulness Of Presi-
dent Wilson's message to Congress
today is that It will tend to clarity
thought on what Is, for the moment,
at least, the uppermost question Of
the war. That question boldly put,
as to whether the allies are fighting
Germany for the high purpose pro-
claimed in their official declarations
or for selfish ends"

Wassaja Speaks.

Lii a recent letter received by the
editor of The Tomahawk from DR..
Montezuma (Apache) of Chicago,
among other things said are these:
II cannot tell you how 1 felt, be-
cause we had planned to meet and
pull together for the cause of our
race. l had relied on him so much
for the future campaign in the
interest of cause that filled his
heart.
II read the glad tidiogs that his
brother will continue the publica-
ton Of The Tcmahawk and a thrill
of joy went through my heart. 1t
is important that The Tomaha wk
should continue. This country is
growing wonderfully. Different
races are growing and making
themselves stronger in every way.
I can see, in few years the In
dams must stand alone, and to-
gether, and grow strong like other
nations.
The greatest help will be news
papers run by Indians for the
interest of the Indians. You can
see for yourself that we Indians
are working more and more with
the present age of progress. The
Tomahawk has had hard times,
but the good it has done for the
Indians cannot be estimated.
''You may have discouragements
financially and in every way like
all newspapers, but keep above
and 60 ahead with The Tomahawk.
The standards of the Minnesota
Indians are measured by The
Tomahawk.''
1t is encouraging to hear such
words from a noted INDIAN, and
these joined t., the appreciation
coming from other high sources,
we make public in order that the
Chippewas themselves may SUBJ
assist in keeping The
Tomahawk alive.

Red Man is White Man
In Draft Regulations.

A red skin makes a white man,
according to a ruling given by
state draft officials recently. A
local exemption board official in
the Indian reservation region of
northern Minnesota telephoned
headquarters and asked whether
Indians could be included in the
contingent made up exclusively of
white men. An Indian is counted
as white man in the draft regu-
lations," was the repIy.''
The above evidently takes no
account of the War Departments
ruling on tribal exemptions.
The state draft officials simply
have given the ruling that Indians
when in the service will not be
segregated as are other races, for
instance the African.

WET MASH BEST FOR CHICKS
Only Secret in Growing Fowls Is to
Give Them What They Really Like

There is nothing growing chick
likes better than nice, cool feed OF
wet mash. There is only one secret to
growing chicks and growing them rap
idly, and that is to give them the feed
they like and give it to them in such
amounts as to satisfy the appetite and
rs often as is necessary.
For the first - weeks Of the chicks
life the bird will stand considerable
forcing, after which time the birds will
have developed sufficient size Of frame
and strength of body with which to
range and gather most Of their own
living.
The following wet mash may we'll be

or for such time as Is necessary to pro-
duce a good-sized broiler: Two pounds
Of bran, two pounds Of cornmeal, two
pounds of middlings, one pound of

should be mixed with either skim milk,
sweet milk or sour milk. The latter is
preferable.

HORSES PREPARED FOR SHOW
Some Extra Care and Attention Need.
Cd for Draft AnimaIs-Feed Brood
Mares Some Grain.

Draft horses that are to be shown
at the county fairs need some extra
care and attention. To show at an
advantage horses should be in good
condition, we'll hammered and we'll
groomed. Brood mares and young
horses on pasture should be fed some
grain for q considerable time before
they are shown. The amount of grain
will depend on the condition of the
animal and also on the pasture. Equal
parts Of corn and oats have been found
to be good mixture to feed. Stall
lions and work horses that are to be
shown should be fed enough grain and
hay to put them in good condition. A
little grass or green feed of some kind
is useful as a conditioner and as an
appetizer.
Draft horses are shown at halter ex-
cept in the case Of draft pairs. 1t Is
good form to show mares and young
horses with rope halters. Halters
made from half-inch rope are prefer
able except for foals when halters
made from three-eighths inch rope are
more in keeping with the size of the
animal. Draft stations are shown

SUPERIOR TONES FOR SWINE
Hogs Are Especially Sensitive to Lack
Of Variety in Fesd-satisfaetory
Mixture Given.

by DIR. R. H. WILLIAMS WILL Animal Hu:-
bandtnan. University OF Arizona Agri-
cultural Experiment Statton.)
Hogs are OmniverOus animals and es.
pecially sensitive to lack Of variety
in their feed. Under domestication
they make rapid growth and it is hard.
ly possible to supply them with sufti.
cient quantities of all the food nutri.
ents they require to make the most
economical gains. On this account
they often become restless and have .
craving for certain constituents lack.
ing in the diet. The following mixture
has given satisfactory results:
Charcoal, 8 pounds; air.slacked
lime, s pounds; common salt, 6 pounds;
hardwood ashes, 8 pounds; powdered
sulphur, pounds; powdered blue
stone, 2 pounds.
These should be thoroughly mixed
and kept In stock SO that small SUI
ply may be before the hogs ut all
times. A low box makes useful con.
tainer. Such mixture is especially
cheap and will return big profits in
the way Of increased gains. 1t should
be mentioned that this preparation Is
more of tonic to keep the hogs in
good condition rather than to safe
guard them against disease. At the
present time we have no, hog food that
will save pigs from contracting or dy-
ing from hog cholera. This tonic,
however, has beneficial effect in MAX
ing the animals more vigorous and
maintaining them in better condition to
overcome the attack Of diseases.

CAUSE OF Sc0URs IN LAMBS
Very Often an Examination Of Water
Supply will Reveal Trouble
q, With Young Animals.

One Of the causes of scours in lambs
is filthy water. We generally look for
the cause in the feed, but quite often 1t
Is due to impure water. Everybody is
familiar with the disturbance in the
human family which follows the use
Of bad water. The stomach Of the
lamb and even the sheep, Is quite as
susceptible to danger from this source
as Is that Of the shepherd. We often
see flocks on fairly good pastures, that
ought to do well so far as feed is
concerned, showing lack of thrift and
general dullness for which there
seems to be, at first thought. no ap-
parent reason. Very often an exam
nation Of the water gcpply will reveal
the cause.

There are a thousand and one rea-
sons why we should raise live stock
OH the farm, and here are a few of
them:
Because, while the owner Is resting

for him. They are grazing in the
fields, eating hay in the barns, or d.
costing the food they have eaten.
whether they are receiving any atten,.

Because live stock utilize the rough
