MOST PATRIOTIC STATE.
New York Sun.


In that state house into whose
northern upper windows the pastured
cows sometimes gaze meditativey
from its neighboring hill, the sum of
81, 200, 900 was appropriated for "gen-
eral defence purposes" yesterday.
Vermont was always patriotic
state, perhaps the most patriotic in
the whole Union; but in this glorious
achievement she has surpassed herself.
A million dollars And her chief in
dustry is dairying. We salute the
Green mountain state with admiration
and respect. If the Vermonters are not
proud, they ought to be.

the IrOquois there were many legends,
or rather, sacred myths and traditions
of the maple tree,
According to one pretty myth, a
spirit came from heaven TO teach
the Indians to make the sugar from
the clear sweet water. But another
version is given in the legend of Moqua,
the wise squaw,
One morning the mighty hunter
Woksis babe his wife cook for his
dinner choice bit of moose meat
and have It ready when the tall stick
which he stuck In the snowdrift should
throw its shadow TO certain point,
After her lord departed she hewed
Off the meat with her sharpest stone
knife, and filling an earthen pot, or
kekh with snow, for melting, she
hung 1t over the fire. 1t was her
pride that Woksis, her lordly hus-
band should sport the gayest moe
casins in the tribe, and many hours
did she spend every day in working
with bright-colored porcupine quilts.
For no brave in all the country was so
warlike as Woksis, no squaw so skilled
in embroidery as Moqua.
AS she worked on the moccasins
hours passed as minutes. She took
no note of time, so busy was she in
her labor of love. Suddenly she heard
a startling notes.-the bark string that
held the skek suspended was burned off,
and a quenching, scattering explosion
followed the overthrow Of the pot.
What could she do? There was no
water, the melted snow was gone and
she must boil the moose meat before
her lords return. 1t was growing late,
there was no time to melt more snow,
80 Selling a birch bucket of maple
water that was always tapped IN the
spring for its sweet flavor, she filled the
kekh anew and hung it over the minded
fire. Into it she popped the moose
meat and set a cake of pounded corn to
bake on the slab before the fire. Then
she resumed her embroidery in which
the quilts were both needles and
thread.
She was working the totem of her
race, the bear, so different from the
wolves, eagles and turtles of other
tribes. Dreaming of her husbands
future success in hunt and battle, the
hours passed by; the shadow crept past
the mark; the fire burned low; and the
once juicy meat was shriveled morsel
in mixture of gummy liquid. When
she saw this, the frightened squaw ran
into the bushes and hid herself from the
rage of her coming lord.
After long and silent waiting she
drew near the camp once
more, and what did she see? There
was Woksis devouring the morsel of
moose meat, and her wonder was great
when he deliberately broke the earthen
pot and carefully licked out the last
sestige of her spoiled cooking. She
forgot her fears and cried out in sur
Prise. When discovering her, Woksis
said, 90, Moqua, my wise squaw, who
.aught thee such a marvel of cooking,
vas the Great Spirit thy Instructor"
With great joy he embraced her, and in
lis sticky kiss she tasted the first maple |
ugar.

FAIR FEATURES AGRICULTURE
POSSIBILITIES OF THE STATE

The directors Of the Oklahoma State,
Fair, Oklahoma City, have realized I'M
years past that its greatest field was
in the development of the agricultural
resources Of this State. Last years
Fair had an agricultural exhibit that
0was unexcelled any place in the United
States and its Live Stock Show in-l
cluded some of the finest animals of
the breeds. This department has
largely been built up through an at,
tractive premium list Cash prizes.
and premiums in the Live Stock and
Agricultural Department this year to-,
tai S15,O00OO. In addition to these
cash prizes a great many specials are
offered on the winners in several di-
visions. The date Of the Fair this
year is September p to 29 inclusive.
The spirit Of rivalry that exhistsl
amongst the various counties in this
State insures an agricultural exhibit
this year that will surpass any pre-
yious one. The Live Stock Depart
ment has kept pace year by year with
the farm products. One Of the main
features Of the 1917 Fair will be the
food and feed conservation demonstra'
ton. The directors Of the Oklahoma
State Fair feel that it ia their patri-
otic duty to do all that is in their
mower to aid in the production and con
servation Of food supplies. Every
available acre on the State Fair
Grounds has been planted to feed
crops
