.Apaches Demand and Are Given
Plenty OF Room.
Tribe Which Was Once Known az
Worst in Country Still Refuses 10
Take Up Real Farming.

OF all the wards OF Uncle Sam
none enjoyed worse reputation nor d
better deserved one, than the Apache
Indians OF the Southwest so years ago
They terrorized the Mexicans, robbed
the wagon trains In the Santa Fe trail
made the frontiersman's life miserable
caused the patient troopers OF the reg.
ular army 10 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 down
they broke out in new place. Today
their country Is given over TO the
farmer and the flvver, 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. II
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 small one-man homestead
would run anywhere from thousand
acres up, He does not go In for in
tensiye cultivation. He plants little
corn here and there and he harvests
wild hay wherever il chances 10 grow
thickly enough to make the process
worth while, but real farming Is in
compatible with his idea Of the dignity
OF man and an Indian. $500.

however, will inform you Of the fact
with great yigor, if he chances to find
you. ON the other hand. you may travel
on Apache land for weeks and never
meet soul. The reservation comprises
hundreds OF square miles, and the In
dams are true nomads, wandering
from place TO place as the fancy
seizes.
The reservation is a 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 its fer
tllity. At least, he is doing nothing 10
exhaust the soil, and should his race
or another ever come 10 farm il they
will find earth as virgin as that OF the
western prairies hundred years ago,

An hour later, when the storm had

cuttlna Mako the Halr Grow.

According to Dr. William Allen Pus
soy, the hair grows half an inch d
month until IL reaches its natural
length. With men the natural length 4.
from eight TO twelve inches. with
women 1t grows anywhere from eight.
cen inches TO their heels.
The hair grows faster In summer
than In winter because Of the greater
activity of the skin IN warm weather.
The hair also grows faster when cut of.
The reason for this Is bascd upon the
general principle that whenever tissue
IS called upon To make up deficit il

added energy. II you cut on your hair
there Is tile stimulus Of Increased de-
mand placed upon nature 10 make your
