The effect of the fall grain mar

Fargo financial institutions.
Since the middle Of the present
week, the inflow of money, growing
out Of the sale OF farm crops, has
been growing rapidly, and the Fargo
bankers are confident judging from
early figures, that the predictions
made several weeks ago that this
would be the valleys biggest crop

be borne out.

err. Several Of the small country
banks have reported that the move
ment OF grains is well under way, and
the farmers are selling rapidly.
Reports of grain marketing opera
tions come from many points, and i'm
dictate general disposition on the
part of the farmers to dispose OF at
least a portion OF this years crop at
once. The fact that the government
has fixed a wheat price is causing
many farmers to abandon their poll
cy of holding grain in storage as
many have done in other years.

Indians Health is
to be Improved
Department of Health in Washington
is TransIating and Preparing Litera-
ture For Use On Reservations.

The Department of Indian Affairs is
having a number of tracts relative to
public health prepared especially for
the Indians, translated into the Choc-
taw tongue. Rev. VIM. II. Ketcham, a
member of the board of Indian COM
missioners and director Of the Bureau
Of Catholic Indian Missions, Washing
ton, and Peter Hudson, official inter
prefer for the Choctaws, are now en-
gagged in that work. They are at pres
ent in Talibina, where a hospital has
been built for the treatment of Choc-
Jaws affected with tuberculosis.
Father ketcham is one of the best
informed men in this country upon
matters relating to the Indians. He
was missionary in Indian territory
twenty-five years ago. At first he To-
Gated at Muskogee and later he de-
voted his time to the ChoctaWs, learn
ing their language and familiarizing
himself with their customs. He re-
CARDS the work now being conducted
among the Indians to protect them
from disease, raise the standard of
public health, and teach them how to
live, as of the highest Importance. 1t
is pointed out that thousands of IN
dams have died from a lack of knowl-
edge of how to take care Of themselves
and of proper regard for sanitation.
