INDIANS HELP SAVE POTATO CROP

On hundred Indians, secured through the efforts
of the Coconino County (Ariz) Farm Bureau,
went into the harvest fields and helped save the
potato crop of that county this fall. The ncreas-
ing acreage of potatoes planted in that section
last spring made it necessary for the growers to
cooperate in the harvesting and marketing OF their
surplus. The county farm bureau marketing COM
mittee made plans for handling each feature OF
the marketing problem comparatively. Sacks were
secured and graders installed through the bureau,
which also undertook the inspection and selling OF
the crop. The chairman of the committee was
authorized to act as official salesman in southern
Arizona and will travel and make sales for the
association.

DELEGATIONS TO WASHINGTON

The attention of all members of the tribe is
called to the following communication from the
honorable commissioner of Indian affairs:
Office of Indian Affairs
Department of the Interior
Washington
To Superintendent:
My attention has been invited to the fact that
in many instances Indian delegations which have
visited Washington in the past were neither repre-
sentative of their tribes duly elected by them,
but undertook the trip in unauthorized capacity
with the exception of being reimbursed for their
expenses upon arrival in this city.
Owing to the abnormal condition of the country
and the necessity of our conserving tribal funds
which in many cases are very hmlted-for con-
structive work among the Indians, do not favor
and cannot approve of delegations visiting Wash
ngton except in absolutely necessary cases, and
then only where the personnel Of such delegations
are Indians with tribal rights the reservation,
are representative of the majority of the Indians
and have been duly elected by them, and prior
authority has been obtained to make the trip.
Full information in regard to the above mentioned
matters must be submitted by the superintendent
when presenting the request for the delegation to
come to Washington. Such requests should be
made by mail and not by telegraph. The delega-
ton, when authorized, should bear credentials,
certified to by you.
Unauthorized delegates visiting Washington
must pay their own expenses while here and en-
route home, as no funds will be advanced under
rembursable agreements transportation issued
in such cases. Many Indians have come here at
tribal or government expense to take up primarily
personal business All these matters can be taken
up by correspondence. ..i.
desire you to thoroughly acquaint the Indians
of your reservation with the foregoing instructions
to the end that they may become familiar with
requirements in the matter Of selecting and send
ing delegations from Washington

THE HIGHER LAW
The young who had been examining the
of shining instruments that lined the operating
room, turned abruptly to the great surgeon.
"Of course you do not believe in the foolishness
called prayer" he said
"And why not?" the surgeon asked, as he held
delicate instrument critically to the light.
"What man with your scientific training?"
the younger exclaimed in surprise.
"And why not?" the keen-faced elderly
repeated
"Oh come now, DOCTOR" the young said,
smiling. "Surely you cannot believe that God
would upset all the laws of nature to grant the re-
quest Of some one of his creatures You know how
memorable the laws of nature"
"That's exactly why believe strongly in the
efficacy of prayer" The words spoken quietly
but with evident seriousness.
Explain the riddle, please, the other demanded,
and his grave now.
"Why, that's easy enough to do" the surgeon
said "Prayer-or rather faith, which is the
tive of prayers just much force of nature

prayer answered all the laws of nature would
be smashed to pieces. That is not necessarily the
that hold in my hand not fall to the foor!"
"Why because you are sustaining it,"
Exactly And yet the law of gravtation is
not wrecked or denied L is merely superseded
for the moment by higher Jaw. tla law Of life.
"Now, as we ascend in nature find this-the
basic laws Of higher plane have just this power
of overriding of the laws of a lower plane.
Gravity is the great law of the inorganic world.
It is still law in the organic world but the great
law of the organic world-the law of life-is
peror to it. The plant thrusts its stem upward in
the face Of gravity; walks about in defiance
of it,
: "Then why may there not be a law in the next
plane of nature-the spritual-that, just as nats
uraly, supersedes some Of the laws of the organic
. world? The plant reaches down into the inorganic
world, and grasping the dead atoms there endows
them with life and the ability to rise superior to
the force of gravity May not the spiritual world
do as much for the material world without outrag-
ing single law of nature" =
"Why-why, I guess it coud,,,, the young
stammered.
sIt not only could-it doesp the surgeon de-
clared emphaticaly. So
'Then there is something in prayer after all?"
'"The effectual fervent prayer of righteous
man avaieth much, !" the doctor quoted 81 tell
you, my friend, prayer changes things" And the
young man knew from the light on the older mans
face that here at least for whom
prayer had changed things-many thngs.-Youths

POULTRY DISEASES AND TREATMENT

All diseased birds should be isolated
Colds and Roup-Disinfect the drinking water
as follows: To each gallon of water add the guam
tity of potassium permanganate that will remain
on the surface of dime.
Canker-Sprnkle little flowers of sulphur in
the mouth and throat of the bird and put
chlorate of potash in the water. Also carefully
remove the exudate with aid of warm water and
paint with iodine apply good disinfectant to
the diseased tissue.
Chicken Pox-Apply a touch of iodine to each
sore and then cover with carbolated vaseline. If
the diseased parts kept well covered with the
vaseline it will usually effect cure.
Gapes-New ground and vigorous cultivation will
often remedy this trouble. A liberal sprinkling of
lime around the coops and runs is quite often an
effective remedy.
Scaly Legs-Apply vasene containing dis
infectant to the affected parts, and after twenty
four hours soak in soapy water. Repeat
treatment until cured.
Diarrhea in Hens-Low-grade wheat flour mid
dlings are good for this trouble. Also give each
fowl teaspoonful of castor oil containing five
drops of oil of turpentne.
Bowel Trouble in Chicks-Well-boiled rice mixed
with little charcoal will often check this COM
plant. Dissolve fifteen grains of crude catchu in
each gallon of drinking water

To men in city, glade and farm.
He raises his head; he lifts his lance,
And offers himself to fight in France.
He drills-a soldier in khaki tan,
And feels himself again man.
At the battle front he doesn't scare,
And his hope is to lift the Kaser's hair
Whether he fights land sea-
He will do his best for Liberty
He spends his money for Bonds and Stamps.
He is second to in trench or camps,
Though wounded and torn he is proud of his scars,
And will Loyalty fall for the Stripes and Stars.
The task may be hard; he never will fail;
To the Indian there is no end of the Trail!'

For his Flag and his country-the true Gamer
