Sah-tie-wauah! nosay, you heap
foolish talk like crazy nah! .
The above ELUSIVE outburst of
pedant:c arrogance and conceited
assumption Of bull-dozing tactics
is generally employed (or resorted
toy by the subservient minions of
the Indian bureau as q pitiable
subterfuge especially when
brought to bay by the chaste ar
guments of truth, nude and posi-
tive, and after the foul endeavors
Of contemplate procrastination
have proved vain and futile. /. /. .
Such q scene was enacted at the
agency Office on Monday, the 24th
inst. Mr.. F. D. Beaulieu, the pop
ular Chippewa attorney, accom-
panied by Mr.. Louis Martin, Of
Galway, . progressive member
Of the reservation, law-abiding
citizen and tax payer. proceeded
to the agency office to Interview
j. H. Hinton, Suph, IS to Why
that official insisted in denying
Mr.. Martins request for the pay
ment of his Martin minor child
ren's money. Mr.. Martin having
previously complied with all pro-
per requirements of the Becker
county probate court in the matter
of making application for appoint
n,ent as guardian, furnishing quail
fed bt.ndsmen, etc. Mr.. Martin
had previously called on Mr.. Hin.
ton and had asked that official for
his children's money but Mr.. Hin
ton informed him that he was
very busy'' and that he could not
consider the application at that
time and it was probable that be
(Hinton) could not be able to give
the matter attention before the
month of August. Mr.. Martin
then came down to Mr.. Beaulieu's
Office and related what had taken
place and of his interview with the
Supt. Mr.. Beaulieu then went to
the office accompanied by Mr..
Martin and, in a gentlemanly man.
ner, asked Mr.. Hinton what par
ticular reasons, if any there were,
Why Mr.. Martin was not paid his
minor children's money, especially
since Mr.. Martin had furnished
qualified requirements in the
premisesl'' AT this interro0atory
the superintendent became very
much incensed and in an angry
mood informed Mr.. Beaulie6 some
thing after this manner: Il am an
official of the Government and l
doD't propose to have to ask any
one how to run the affairs of this
agency and it is my business if l
don't see TT to tell the reasons for
my official acts and if you or any

FIRE PROOF DISCS
 WORN BY SAMMlES
Identification Tags of U. $. Soldiers Serve Great Purpose
 In War,

Washington, March 21.-Frequent
 mention has been made of the identifi
 cation discs adopted by Uncle San
 for his soldiers and sailors, but the
 advantages offered by the system are
 not generally known to the public
 On one side of the disc is engraved
 the mans name, with the date of his
 birth and enlistment. On the other
 sides is an etched finger-print from
 the index finger of the wearer the
 duplicate of the print being filed a;
 tine War or Navy departments. Ol
 course. there might be two men with
 ldCnt'cally the same name, with the
 dates of birth and enlistment the same, but any difficulty arising from so remote a coincident will be got owe: by the fnger-print. It is, how ever, about the metal of the disc that the invention mainly scores. This is Monel metal, silver-white in color and of nickel with a mixture of iron and copper. After being subject ed to certain process, the metal cannot corrode or perish by fire. If the Wearer's body was entirely con sumed by fire, and no trace were left of him, his Identification disc, if found, would be undamaged, even the fngerprint.

BILL PENDING IN
 CONGRESS- AFFECTS
 LOCAL MERCHANTS
Attitude to Adopt Will Be Decided at Meeting
 This Evening.

A bill now pending in congress, and which affects every establishment do- ing business on the installment plan was discussed at a meeting yesterday forenoon of the Retail Merchants as sociation. Because of the fact that the attendance was not as great as desir- ed, decision as to the associations course was postponed until meeting tonight. After the meeting, the fol- lowing was given out on behalf of E. M. Schober, president of the associa- ton:
 Que to shortage of help among our retail establishments and the great number of retail shoppers, the meeting of the retail merchants which was called for 10 o'clock Thursday morn ing was not as we'll attended as the importance of the subject demanded, and after one of the matters-the act pending in congress affecting install- ment houses of all characters-was discussed few moments, it was de- cided by those present that all our retail merchants were very much in- terested and should have an opportuni- ty to be advised of its importance, and whatever action is taken by Pine Bluff merchants should be the judgment and voice of a representative number of every class of retail business.
 "Especially do I take this view since the matter has become a con- gressional and national question. There are other matters of great in- terest to every retail merchant in the city and directly effect him and our whole country.
 Neither of these matters can be de- layed beyond this week and every one of them effects your business and that of every merchant in this city. They will if properly handled greatly increase our business and prosperity and therefore urge every retail mer- chant in the city, large and small, to attend meeting at the assembly hall Friday evening at 7:45 o'clock March P, 1918. Please don't forget the date and hour"
