Whist Prices Can be Fixed

There has been much discussion

fixed on coal and wheat by author

ON iron and its products but not
under the food control law. This was
by agreement with the iron and steel
industries and is voluntary on their
part.

FORT YATES AUTHOR
WRITES INTERESTING
STORY Of THE SIOUX
Tells All That History Reveals
of Great Dakotah Nation
in North Dakota

Writing in an interesting, chatty
vein, Frank Fiske, in "The Tanning OF
the Sioux fresh from The Tribune
press, has made a book worth while
which will be read through at one
sitting by any individual with red cor
puscles in his blood Mr.. Fiske leaves
the unknown to the unknown. He
tells all that is known of the great
Dakotah nation; it's conquest OF North
Dakota and it's ultimate subjugation
by the whites. Indian battles still
fresh in the memories of braves with
whom Fiske has lived and labored
for % years on Standing Rock reser.
walton are wildly described, as by
eye-witnesseS.
The outstanding feature Of the
book is it's treatment of the Sioux as
human being, not as demi.gOd or
superman; nor as barbarian with
out human instincts, but as one OF
the great family Of Man. And the
Sioux, in this guise, Is much more
interesting than the Sioux Of fiction;
much more appealing than the Sioux
of history. - g., =. .
Mr.. Fiske has made no attempt at
fine writing He tells his story In
heart-to-heart, straight forward way
which makes it somewhat distinctive.
THE Tanning of the Sioux" should
have wide circulation. There is no
more interesting subject, and there
is no one better qualified to write on
it from first hand information and
personal observation.

zens. A few years later there wan
dered into the neighborhood Kirt
Frankenstein, an old acquaintance of
the road. Farmer Mathes, who had
never married, assisted Frankenstein
to become established here. and made
much of him and his family. A few
weeks ago Mathes fell from hay
rack, fractured his spine, and died
within few hours. Now it is learned
that before his death he called in a
notary and made a will leaving ev-
erything he possessed to Kirt Frank
enstein. The farm. buildings, grain
in the bin. horses, livestock and cash
in the bank amount to comfortable
little fortune, which is a windfall to
the Frankensteins, to whom fate has
not been overland.

Madison, Wis.-In response to a
question as to what Wisconsin has
done during the war, the following list
has been prepared from the records to
show some of the accomplishments
through the State Council of Defense:
Conducted campaign against the
practice of food boarding.
Distributed thousands of pounds of
rough fish at a state price of 5 cents
per pound in the larger cities and in
dustrial centers, where meat has been
8 luxury.
Organized the bakers of the state
until they have individually pledged
themselves not to accept unsold bread
from retail customers.
Completed a survey of the state of
mills equipped to grind flour, which
gives the condition of these mills and
their capacity.
Compiled list of unused land, by
counties, available for cultivation,
which has been referred to the county
councils for attention in 1918.
Aided in the establishment of city
markets in cities of over 5000 at which
thousands of carloads of produce have
been sold to the mutual benefit of pro-
Queer and consumer.
Created and is conducting depart
ment headed by a market commission
er which will aid in the marketing Of
surplus food products which in other
years have gone to waste.
Inaugurated a statewide soldier pal
movement SO that every enlisted and
selected man from Wisconsin has
pal at home who will look after his
interests while he is at war.
Appointed county labor agents in
fifty-eight counties out of seventy-one,
covering the entire agricultural sec
ton, who work with labor committees
of the county councils.
Completed registration of all boys
and young men from Is to 81, who
have been enlisted in the boys work
ing reserve.
Called a conference of the sheriffs
and police officers of the state, and
through their cooperation enforced
vagrancy law until there is not
known id1er in the state.
Organized automobile squads in cit
les and larger towns, composed of
business and professional men, who
have gone into the country to assist
farmers where labor was wanted for
harvest.

WHAT WISCONSIN HAS DONE

| Highway Commission, suspended road
work wherever possible and sent the
road gangs into the grain fields.
Conducted comprehensive state
wide investigation of the fuel situa-
ton, the information secured having
been forwarded to Washington.
Induced the Wisconsin railroads to
sell or give away discarded railway
ties for f1rewood.
Sent an appeal over the state for
farmers and people in small cities
tice which has resulted in some relief
in the coal situation.
Organized a state Health Aid Course
through a special appropriation of
$4,000 by the legislature. The object
is to train young women to take the
place of registered nurses in caring
for the civilian sick during the war.
More than 100 of these young women
are in training.
Has conducted, with the co-opera-
ton of the State Industrial Commits
sion and the insurance men of the
state, a statewide inspection and CEN
sus of storage plants, warehouses and
factories, with a view of preventing
fire losses and conserving food.
One of these activities deserves
more than passing mention. Because
of the increased production it was
early decided by the State Council Of
Defense that a market must be pro-
vided for the men who had expended
money and time in planting additional
crops. The department OF the market
commissioner was created, and the
commissioner is in touch hourly with
the markets Of the state. He acts as
go-between for the producer and the
consumer. For one he provides a
ready market; for the other he re-
duces the cost of living. Unnecessary
middleman profits are eliminated, the
producer is receiving a satisfactory
price, and the consumer is buying for
less than at any time since war prices
prevailed.
The work of the State Council Of
Defense has been made possible by
the co-opera ton of the people of the
state. The foundation was laid by the
legislature and the results obtained
can be credited largely 10 the men,
bers of the County Councils Of De-
tense and other loyal citizens of every
community, who have supported the
efforts of these auxiIiaries of the State
Council.
