squaw Of the Hidatsu tribe told to
Gilbert Livingstone Wilson, Phi. d. of

the soldiers was an ancient pastime of
the young squaws OF long ago, she
says, and free verse was chanted by
them at their work.
Professor Wilson quotes one OF the
verses:
"You young man of the Dog Society,
you said to me,
When l go to the East on war party,
you will hear .a#
News Of me how brave l ami
I have heard news OF you;
When the fight was on, you ran and

MINNESOTA IS
PIVOTAL STATE
IN DRY FIGHT
Swinging Of Gophers One Way
or Another May Change
the Result.
EXPECT A HOT CAMPAIGN

St. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 22-Minneso.
ia is considered a pivotal state in the
fight for dry nation. 1t is one of the
twenty-one still in the wet column, but
anti,liquor people consider it likely to
shift to the dry side before long.
Amendment to the federal constitu-
ton requires a favorable vote by
three-fourths of the states. There are
forty.eight states and if thirty-six Of
them favor the amendment it will be
adopted. More than half are dry now
acknowledgements large portions OF
others are dry by local option.
A warm campaign over the ques-
ton of prohibition is expected there
fore next summer. Upon it's outcome
is likely to depend the states decis-
ion on the proposed amendment to the
national constitution, which, if adopt
ed, would make the country dry.
The legislature of 1917 put up to a
pleoiscite the proposal to make Min
nesota dry by state constitutional
amendment. The vote will be taken
at the general election next Novem.
Der and the anti-liquor people already
are preparing for the campaign. Union
of several Of the organizations oppos-
ed to the liquor traffic was effected.
so far as the actual work is concern
ed, at meeting in Minneapolis not
long ago and the combination is ex-
pected to accomplish great deal in
bringing the issue before the voters.
Anti-liquor forces predict that the
result Of the state election will have
a decisive effect on the liquor atti-
tude of the legislature to be chosen
at the same time In some localities
1t is expected that the conviction or
the candidates on the question will
have a bearing on their chances of
election and the vote of the people
CT course will indicate how the constit-
ueacy of each and the state as a
whole stand.
If the state amendment passes, it
is likely to be followed by action
favorable to the federal prohibition
amendment, therefore, no matter in
what way the latter action is taken

Politicians believe that the legislature
will put the question of the federal
amendment directly up to the people
unless the state amendment should
carry by an overwhelming majority, in
which case Minnesota might go on
record in favor of nationwide prohi-
bition through direct legislative ac-
ton.

call a special session of the legisla-
ture to pass on the federal proposal.

Chicago, Ills. Dec. 21.-Corn prices
TOOK downward swing today, owing
largely to reports that the lifting of
the railroad embargo east of Chicago
had failed to stimulate shipping de.
mand. The market closed unsettled,
quarter to INC net lower, with Jan.
l.24s to 1.2412, and May 1.22N to
l.22M. Oats finished q to &c down,
but provisions up u to SOC.
Most. traders regarded a bearish &C
ton in the corn market as a practical
certainty after yesterdays extra or
binary upturn. Specific grounds, too,
for selling pressure were soon ap
parent, notably advices that eastern
roads had been ordered to return to
the west a total of 1900 empty box
cars, and that 1900 of the cars had
been delivered in the last three days.
Clear, cold weather likely to improve
the quality of the crop tended also to
ease the market. The greatest handi.
cap fol, the bulls, however, proved to
be disappointment which increased
as the day wore on, that no substan.
tlal expansion of eastern demand had
resulted from the cancelling of the
railroad embargo between here and
the seaboard.
Oats, like corn, were bearishly af.
fected by the absence of stimulus
from the east. Gulf bids were con.
fined to country stations.
Strength in the hog market lifted
provisions. Packers bought.
