Hundreds of cords of bolts cut and hauled
to the Walker mill during the winter months
Good prices paid and those Indians who are
without seeds have no one to blame but themselves,
for there was ample opportunity to earn stake
at that work in the many camps where there
was clamor for anything that looked like man.
The attendance of pupils in the Boarding School
has been very excellent this winter in spite OF the
loss of time the necessity for hospital exacted
The Onigum auxiliary Red Cross workers braved
wind and weather and stayed at their chosen job
during the winter months. Especially Jealous

Mr. H. c. Moore:
Dear Friend:
Farmers Club has accomplished at it's work by
every individual member of this club. But wish
that it may be known to all the members of
the Reservation, that members of the Little
Rock Farmers club wish to impress upon those who
not members of these gatherings, that we
have accomplished great deal of good by help
ing another with work and holding meet
ings for social gatherings
We hope that every living at Little Rock
will join that they may receive the same
benefits that he have Yours truly,

The food saving problem is mainly woman's
job. Ninety per cent of the food purchased in
this country is purchased by This means
that the women of this nation must shoulder 80
per cent of this responsibility of saving food All
the starving nations must look to us for help be-
cause America is the largest food growing country
in the world. This year, especially the American
farmer is being urged by patriotic motives to pro-
duce food stufs to the limit of his capacity, and
the American housewife will have plenty for her
self and plenty to share with her European sisters
if she economy, buys wisely and avoids waste

gresham P D. Norton secured an
appropriation which became avail
able last July, will be built this
year, is the latest authorative re-
port from Washington.
The plans are now in the Indian
Office. and have been approved.
Had this work been undertaken
last year a considerable saving
could have been effected. But be
it as it may the officials of the
local Agency and the Indians are
glad to get the school anytime. II
is hoped no more delay will be in.
CURED and that work of construc.
ton will begin early.
Mr.. Norton is entitled to much
credit for securing this appropria.
ton, and as he is a candidate fol

Thinner, were this week acquitted

longing to the Stiles Cattle Company

The alleged offense was committed
last year. The two Burdick bro
theirs and Pearl Hicks were arrested

failed to appear when his case was
called some time ago, and his bond
forfeited. The case was tried on a
change of venue from Sioux county.

sided at the trial. The prosecution
was conducted by one of the at
toraey generals assistants and

WIGHT Went Crooked

Geo. WIGHT, formerly employed
on the Pioneer, who has been ed
itor Of the Mclaughlin Messenger
the past month, absconded last week
with about 5000 which he obtain
ed from the Red Cross ladies on an
advertising proposition he did not
carry out. He also failed to ac-
count for other money collected in
the conduct Of the paper, which is
owned by G. Christensen of Fort
Yates. A warrant will be issued
for his arrest and it is hoped that
he will be apprehended and receive
astiff sentence in the pen. Robbing
the Red Cross is serious offsnss
and no punishment can be too
severe.

Visited Indian vill.s.

George Bird Grinnel, Phi. D., of
New York City, the we'll known au-
thority on Indian history, made a
trip to Grand River, in South Da-
kota, last week, accompanied by
Judge Beede, and they returned
late Monday evening
Although the weather was unfav-
orable, DR.. Grinnel reached the
points of interest for which he made
the journey and made a good be-
ginning Of research that should be
carried forward in the interests of
historical knowledge. On the Grand
river he located two old Indian vii
lagos, not the modern Indian
camps with the we'll known circles
of stones, but the old-time villages
where were numerous permanent
houses and caches for corn and 9TH
er farm products in generations
gone by. Further exploration will
be necessary to determine what
tribes first built these villages, and
whether other tribes occupied the
same place when the builders of the
first villages had disappeared.
DR.. Grinnel, who knows many
influential persons in the east,
hopes to get some eastern historical
society to undertake the work of
carefully exploring all the rivers in
these regions for exact historical ev-
idence and facts, Such work, to be
Of value, must be done by, compet-
ent persons, capable Of patience in
the work. No doubt there are doz-
ems Of old Indian villages on the
waterstreams westerly from the Mis-
souri, river between Mandan and
South Dakota line that have been
known only to frontiersmen who
had not the time or the exact
chronological training for giving ad.
equate study to these places.
DR.. Grinnel is an old frontiers.
man, known to many Of the old
timers out here. All are clad te
see him. Many Indians know
him.

Annual Memorial Day
Program Carried Out
Memorial Day Being Observed in Fort
Yates To-day With Appropriate
Program It Cemetery

To-day is Memorial day. The
occasion will be observed with an
appropriate program at the Catholic
cemetary in Fort Yates, and also
at the Mission cemetery south of
town.
This morning at 9 O'Clock Rev.
FIR. Bernard held special service in
conformity with the proclamation of
President Wilson asking the church
es to observe the day with fast and
prayer.
Memorial day takes on an added
significance this year on account OF
the war in which the nation is en-.
gagged. To many who have lost
loved ones on the field of honor in
France or an the high seas, the day
is one of sorrow.
To all Memorial day should be an
inspiration when reminded what
the brave men of the Union army
accomplished during the period Of
the civil war. The war today is on
a much larger scale, but the Ameri-
can soldiers are fighting for the
same high and lofty principles that
their fathers did in 81.
