Last Monday evening the farm
ers OF Smith Valley met under the
auspices of the Farm Bureau and dis
cuss ed various subjects OF vital in
terest to. farmers. The labor situa-
ton was one OF the most important
topic and after considerable discus
sion regarding the wage to be paid
ment was signed by all present rails
ing the scale from $500 per day TO
$500 and board for all harvest hands.
excepting stackers They further a
greed not to entice labor from one
another at the same or greater wage
Tuesday evening similar meeting
of the Farm Bureau was held in the
Plummer School in the Missouri
Flat District. and Thursday evening
the Farmers OF the Barrett and Perry
di ,tricts met. and at both meetings
a similar ageement was signed. with
the exception that they recommended
that squaws be paid $500 per day and
board during harvest season.
By deciding on definite wage. the
farmers expect that there will be
less migrating OF the farm labor and a
more settled condition will result
The increase is 33 | 3 per cent moie
than has been paid i'll this locality
heretofore.
Since the definite wage has been
established, Mr., Burris, OF the Indian

Jerusalem. where he said he spent
several years, and from which he traV-
eled toEgypt on a camel. Although
he has travelled so much and has seen
much of the world. it has been with
view TO gain knowledge and train
ing which he hoped to impart to
his fellow tribesmen. He at present
spends part OF each year travelling
among the different tribes lecturing
TO them.
He said that although he enjoyed
going around among white folks, he
is always glad 10 get back among MS
own people. TO be with them and 10
share with them their habits OF Nv
ins close to nature, to eat around
camp fire and to feel free and easy

In other words, he said Blood Is
thicker than water and''my natural
inclination is TO be with the Indians,

had the opportunity to travel and OF
going to school
White Feather was the first Indian
in the United States TO volunteer his

The feeling of confidence in his fu-

When he landed in England in June,

WEIGHS GAG POUNDS;
TRAVELS IN A VAN

New York-Martin T. Durkin, In
charge Of the passport bureau Of the
customs intelligence service. informed
the driver CT a moving van that Web
ster Rusk, Seattle, would have to coma
into the customs house II he wished
to have his passport vised.
1.-THE law" said Durkin, requires
that all passports must be examined
inside the customs house"
The driver went out, but returned
shortly. He said that Mr.. Rusk IA
out al the end Of the van, but for lack
Of skids, hoists, hydraulic derricks, and
the like, would have to remain there.
''Ya see," said the driver, this Rush

neglected entirely. destine to make ever
growing demands upon HIM until he
was forced to go east and seek what he
found-victury and the destruction OF
Russia.
In March, 1918, the kaiser's new COM
mander could count not upon six weeks
but on something like six months In
which to bring home the victory. Rus
sia's collapse gave him back h ad-
vantages of the first weeks Of the war.
Bat again he had to win in the time
fixed, for by the end Of six months
Americas aid would begin to become
effective. and IL he failed in the cam
o out he would automatically lose
the initiative, the offensive, h chance
for victory in h next campaign, when
the American hosts had arrived.
And now, in late July. we see Ger
man armies again retiring from the
Marine after a severe defeat, the extent
of which is still unrevealed. No dis
aster may come now, as none came IN
1914. The German may presently
gather up his strength and strike
against the British, as he struck In
October, 1914. Defeated at the Marine,
he may, for a second time, seek COM
~pensation in a new effort to open the
road to Calais. But the road to Calais
ends at the Channel, and 1t was not
