ORIGIN OF THE TOTEM POLE
Was Erected to Bear Emblems Which
Usually Were Animals After
Which Tribes Were Named.

Before people had individual names.
the savage people who lived In clans
or tribes referred to themselves In the
name Of some natural object, usually
an animal which they assumed as the
name or emblem OF the clan or tribe.
These names never applied TO one indl-
vidual more than another, but only to
the clan or tribe, so that everyone In
u tribe which had taken the "wolf" for
Its emblem was known as "Wolf," says
the Book Of Wonders.
Later on they began to distinguish
individuals by giving them additional
names characteristic of the individual,
such as Lonely Wolf" "Growllng
Wolf" or other names. The name OF
this animal was then the emblem Of
one tribe. They, therefore, placed this
emblem upon their bodies, their
clothes, utensils, etc. Through this,
these emhlems also became at times
Ideals of worship, and so they erected
poles upon which their emblems were
engraved. The word totem is u North
American Indian word, meaning "fam.
lily token" The tribes called them
selves after animals from which they
believed themselves descended.

The Sugar Situation.

That the people may know the
reasons for the rigid restrictions
on the sale and use of sugar by
the Food Administration, l make
public these facts:
There is available for the Unit
ed States from this time to Jan.
/. 1919, only 100000 tons of
sugar. Reduced to pounds and
people it is only 311R pounds of
sugar for each person for six
mon tbs, if it all could be used
for family purposes. But a large
per centage will be used for the
ma4ufacture of necessities.
The families will be restricted
to J25 pounds for canning purposes
and then the supply will be short.
No person can buy sugar for canning
proposes except on permit from the
County U. S. Food administrator.
After our merchants have sold the
amount allotted them they can
nEget more,

not to use the allotment early in
the canning season. Can with
out the use of sugar and use SUBJ
stitutes.
Any person guilty of boarding
is in grave danger of heavy pen
alties. And you are boarding if
you have in your possession more
than thirty-day supply based on
3 pounds for each one in family,
or 25 pounds for canning. Per-
sons having sugar bought before

ministration, If it must be seiz-
ed it will be confiscated and the |
hoarder punished.
The same rule applies to -four.
No family Except a farmer who
has been specially permitted to
have a sixty-day supply ground
from his own wheat is permit
ted to have more than a thirty
day supply of flour in possession.

Small Arms for Army.

German timidity before Amer
lean pistol fighters armed with
American AS caliber automatic
pistols has brought about a
change in the equipment Of the
American Expeditionary Fol- aes
by the War Department, and the
Ordinance Department is rush
ing production of these weapons.
About 5000 are turned out daily
and production is increasing.
The impression exists that a shot
from an American AS takes a
man out of action completely.
Men hit from the smaller German
pistols frequently continue in &C.
tion effectively. The As caliber
was adopted by the United States
Army in 1911.
Despite the heavy increased
demand for these pistols the am
munition branch Of the Ordinance
Department has effected a saw
ing during the past two calendar
months of nearly $4,000, 900, most
ly on small arms ammunition,
such as As caliber ball cartridges,
80 shells, and on clips and band-
oleers.
The total savings by the Ordi-
nance Department for these two
months through salvage, waste
prevention, and the utilization or
sale of discarded materials have
aggregated So, 757, 7,O25. Cost of
Vickers machine guns has been
reduced $322.35 each; Colt ma
chine guns, $284.16 each, Lewis
machine guns, $22 each. Gov
eminent rifles now cost $22 each,
a reduction of $13 each.

And left me stark and bare;
My sons, they spread a red robe
down,
And wrapped me in il there.
The garb they brought was red as

The robe was red as flame:
They yelled me in il where I stood
And took away my shame.
Was ever web so costly wove,
Or warp so glorious spunP

Both OF them hled from the nose all
