STILL NOMADS
Apaches Demand and Are Given.
Plenty of Room.
Tribe Which Was Once Known 40
Worst in Country Still Refuses to
Take Up Real Farming.

OF all the wards of Uncle Sam,
none enjoyed a worse reputation nor q
better deserved one, than the Apache
Indians of the Southwest 80 years ago.
They terrorized the Mexicans, robbed
the wagon trains in the Santa Fe trail,
made the f~rontiersman'S life miserable,
caused the patient troopers of the reg
ular army to plod and struggle over
countless miles of hot sand and blue
lava on their trail, and as soon as they
were fairly beaten and settled dow
they broke out in a new place. Today
their country is given yer to the
farmer and the flivver, and what re-
mains of the tribe occupies a spacious
reservation in northwestern New Mex
leo, says the Buffalo News.
The reservation is spacious, because
the Apache needs plenty of room. 1t
contains little besides space, because
that is the kind of land that suits him;
and, luckily for him, has little attrac-
ton for anybody else. The Apache's
idea of a small One-man homestead
would run anywhere from a. thousand
acres up. He does not go in for in
tensive cultivation. He plants a little
corn here and there, and he harvests
wild hay wherever it chances to grow
thickly enough to make the process
worth while, but real farming is in
compatible with his idea of the dignity
of a man and an Indian.
The boundaries of the reservation
are not visible to the naked eye, so
that if you chance to be travelling in
the neighborhood you may easily stray
over the Apache's hearth and home
without finding it out. The owner,
however, will inform you of the fact
with great vigor, if he chances to find
you. On the other hand, you may travel
on Apache land for weeks and never
meet q soul. The reservation comprises
hundreds of square miles, and the In
dams are true nOmads, wandering
from place to place rs the fancy
SeizeS.
The reservation is q land of rolling
hills, with a few stubby mountain
ranges, and a share of barren plain.
Most of the country is fertile enough,
especially the hill land, but the Indian
makes no attempt to realize on it's fer
tility. At least, he Is doing nothing to
exhaust the soil, and should his race
or another ever come to farm it they
will find earth rs virgin as that Of the
western prairies q hundred years ago.

In his snake hunts Hurter followed
the dangerous plan Of waiting until
the reptile struck and then jumping
aside and catching it,by the tail. Some
times he was bitten, but the hypo-

evil effects. Hurter W sold any OF

The actual period of the beginning
of letter writing is, like many other Of
the familiar things of today, lost in the
mists Of time, observes a writer in the
New York Evening World. Probably
the earliest historical records Of epiS-
tolary achievements are found in the
days of the Egyptians under the Phar-
aohS and of the Greeks who wrote
out their social or business communi-
cations on blocks of stone or wood. But
for the first letter writer of distinction
it is necessary to turn to the Book Of
Kings, where in chapter q, verses 5 to
10, we r told how Queen JGzebel,
wife Of Ahab, wishing to compass the
death of Naboth, "wrote letters in
Ahab'S name and sealed them with his
seal and sent the letters unto the eld-
ers and to the mobiles that were in his
city and that dwelt with Naboth," these
dignitaries suggesting a plot which
ended in the death Of Naboth by ston-
ing.

and declared his intention to follow
if to the letter in the future. Not
withstanding his severe criticisms OF
the Governments raj policy, the
Senator insists that he is not guilty
of treason. Evidently, his concep-
tion of the term is not very clear n
this paragraph from a recent speech
of former Senator Elihu Root should
enlighten him:

to have declared war or not, is m
notent. A democracy which cannot
accept it's own decisions, made in &C

keeps o n endlessly discussing the
question already decided, has failed
in the fundamental requirements OF
self-government, and if the decision
is to make war, the failure to exhibit
capacity for self-government by &C
ton will inevitably result in the loss
of the right of self-government. But,
after the decision in favor of war, the
country has ranged itself; and the
only issue left for the individual citi-
izen is whether he is for or against
his country. From that time on the
arguments against the war in which
the country is engaged are enemy
arguments. Their spirit is the spirit
of rebellion against the government
and the laws of the United States"
If Mr.. Root is correct in his con-
illusions Senator La Toilette stands
convicted of committing a g%rievous
sin against the government he has
sworn t protect and defend. by his
own foolish and seditious u~tterances
both in the Senate and out of it.

THE FOOD PROBLEM.

Early last spring the President OF
the United States and Governor OF
North Carolina issued proclmations
admonishing the people of the country
to bestir themselves in the effort to
provide an adequate supply OF 1000
for home consumption, for our w
army an da surplus that might be dis
tributed amongst the armies OF our
allies. The danger of a shortage IN
farm labor was pointed out and m
DIoyers of cities and towns were urged
TO Join hands with their farmer friends
in the working out of a just and equ1t-
able distribution of the labor supply.
It was pointed out that bread is just
as essential as bullets in carrying on a
war, and that there is no country in
the world, at the present time, from
which the United States could draw
either the bread or the bullets. The
situation confronting the country ap-
peared to be serious and the people
everywhere responded to the call to
Service on the farm.
The result is that America has pro-
duced not only a suficiency for home
consumption, but enough to share the
other countries who are assisting in
fighting our battles on foreign fields,
If this years crop is properly housed
and equitably distributed. Conserve
and distribute are the tasks to which
the Government has recently set itself,
for millions of people who grew not so
much as a blade of grass aredependent
upon the United States for the food
necessary to keep them alive.
A food Administrator in each state of
the American Union, named by MI.
Herbert Hoover, National Administra-
Tor, is in charge of the food problem Of
Page is on guard in North Carolina and
the work entrusted to him is of thu
greatest Importance. He is serving
without compensation along with his
~co-workers in other states, who desire
TO win the war, regardless of sacrifice,
personal or otherwise.
MI. Page has named one hundred as
sistants in the State, one from each
county, with whom the people are ask
ed to cooperate. These state officials
constitute a spoke in the wheel of the
great national movement planner for
the purpose of food conservation. It
is their purpose to reach every home in
North Carolina with the appeal to saw
all articles of food and waste hone.
In other words. say a biscuit for your
neighbor by making the actual number
you need and no more. Throw not so
much as a crumb out the back door,
an draise pigs instead of dogs. Eat
less meat and more vegetables and
spare all the wheat you can possibly do
without. If you are a poor, unfortun-
ate consumer and did not grow any
thing with which you can assist in
feeding other people, try to along with
q smaller amount Of the necessities
which the army boys may need. It is
most a year until another crop can be
harvested and that might be short. The
battle for bread next year should be
started right now and in it everyone
may have q commission. The books
are open and now is the time to enlist.
