daily associates wisely. Read, study and
think. The more you do these things the
more you will desire the things that are

follow them up with more and the rest
will come naturally.-Good Citizen.
Records of the Commissioners of In
dian Affairs show that more than
/! $10,OOO,O0O of the first and second Lib
erty Loan bonds were subscribed by Am
erican Indians; and, while exact figures
have not yet been compiled, it is stated
that "Po0r Lo" made even better show
ing in the Third Liberty Bond campaign.
Throughout the West thousands Of dol
lars have been poured into the Red Cross
treasury from the Indian reservations
and it is reported that the Indians Of one
district of Oklahoma are, without excep-
ton, members Of the organization and
financial contributors to its war relief
fund. More than that, many of the bet
ter educated Indians, men and women,
have "taken the stump" in behalf of the
country's war enterprises, urging and
pleading with their fellow tribesmen and
their white neighbors and associates as
well, to contribute literally to the feder-
al government, the Red Cross, the YIN.
C. A., and other organizations engaged
in war or war relief work. Several th0us-
ands Of Indians have enlisted in the mill
tary or naval service, and q large number
are today fighting in France. Many of
those enliSting were not citizens, andse-
quently not subject to consumption, but
they waived their exemption rights and
took up arms in defense Of their native

according to army officers, eager to get
into the fighting. One Of them is report

training camp routine was "too much
salute and not enough shoot" The In

damental principle with him is to pay
back in kind. He never forgets kindness.
The American tribes realize that, after
wears and wears of shabby treatment at
the hands Of Uncle Sam, they are, under
the Wilson administration, receiving
more nearly d square deal than they ever
Dyed be4ors. They are appreciative:
and it makes them loyal and interested
the welfare Of the government that is
trying to do something for them. Perhaps
that fact accounts, in part at least, for
the splendid record Of patriotism that

(, Yon may be smart, sharp, shrewd,
cunning, long headed; you may be good
scholar, very clever, very brilliant; but
are you sound? That is the question ev.
erybody who has any dealings with you
will ask. Are you substantial, solid?
Have you level head? Everywhere we
see men who are very brilliant of work,
and plenty of sharp men who wonder
