The Regular Army is open to
enlistment at all times, aad is al

issued by Provost Marshall Gener

Of the troops under arms for this

army comprises about threa fifths

Crowder's figures show that over

Voluntary enlistments run higher
now than at any tine since war

A JUDAS IN CAMP.

just at the present time the
people Of the reservation are
awaiting, with much interest, the
outcome of certain legislation
which is now pending in Congress
and effecting the general welfare
of the progressive interests of the
Minnesota Chlppewas. Oaly last
week the House of Representa-
tives resolved itself into com
mi,tee of the whole and, on motion
of Hon. Harold Knutson, member
of Congress, tue appropriation Of
$1S5, 900 was cancelled from the
Indian appropriation bill. Iais
appropriation, as other like former
appropriation intended for. the
''suppor, and civilization Of the
Minnesota Chippewas," was to be
charged up to the Chippewa tribal
fund. This commendable action
BY the House was, in itself, a
signal victory for the progressive
and intelligent classes and one of
the most equitable pieces Of ]egis-
lation recorded in the history Of
Chippewa Indian legislation. The
Chippewa Indians have protested
from the star, that the appropria-
ton of their tribal funds to defray
the expenses of employees saIar-
les, especially those protected I'M
der the camouaage civil service
blanket, and the expenses for
maintaining agency Offices, ETC.,
was absolutely without warrant or
color of law. And the recent
action of the House emphasizes
the Justice of the Indians conten
tions in the premises.
While the members of the Leg
islative Committee, General Coun
Gil, Minnesota Chippewas, now in
Washington. have and are now,
doing all they consistently can to
advance suitable legislation for the
general welfare of their Indian
constituency, they have not es-
capped the annoyaaces and vulgar
aggression which is conceived of
the despicable motives of the low
bred votarist of selfish interests.
We are reliably informed that
James I. Coffey, one of the mem
bers Of the Legislative Committee,
recently resigned from the com
mittee because the majority of said
committee would not s:ultify the
honest purposes of the committee
in support of certain measures

under that ruling he should be ex-

fore he was transferred from Camp

information will assist you. Peter

merely as an accommodation for
l>eter who requested me to do it
for him. 1t is not in my capacity
to go ahead with any ouch work,

Company Commander, but you
may be able to give it your atten-
ton, and be glad to do same.

The articles referred to in the
above letter are Mr.. Baliinger's
open letter to the President, and
the outcome as it was decided by
Gen. Crowder after the President
had sent Mr.. Ballinger's letter to
the War Department.
Gen. Crowder decided that In
dams maintaining tribal relations
we're not subject tt%the draft, and
occupied the status of aliens, he
so informed Mr.. Ballinger in an
official letter, and which was pub
lished in The TOMAHAwK.
The proof of the maintenance
of tribal relation such as General
Crowder had in mind lies upon
the individual.
Peter Defoe it seems took steps
to obtain release from service uD-
der the ruling of General Crowder.
At the time the ruling became
public, several young men upon
this reservation sought exemption
under the ruling. Certification of
membership in band of Chippewa
Indians Of White Earth reserva
ton, was obtained from Supt.
Hinton in the cases of about half a
dozen, and were attached to the
applications for exemption fled

FORMER SANTA CRUZ COUN
TY MAN SUCCEEDS AS
COTTON GROWER

Word has reached Nogales
that w. E. Balcom, a former
Santa Cruz county man, has
bought the widely-known Is.
A. Fowler farm northwest of
Phoenix and near the prosper
GUS town of Glendale. The Fow-
Ter farm was one of the "show
places" of Maricopa county ano
the pride of every land owner
in that county as well as it's
owner.
Mr.. Balcom while a resident
of Santa Cruz county was first
a mine superintendent and then
opened a farm near Tubac. At
ter making a number of SUBJ
stantial Improvements he sold it
and secured another place
south and near to the old Tuna
cacori mission. Here he started
raising angora goats and also
started an apiary, both of which
he made paying undertakings.
About five years ago ne soTd
out his holdings in this couLty
and settled near Tempe in Mari
cope county where he engaged
in cotton growing. To Santa
Cruz county friends who chanc-
ed t., meet him in Phoenix ne
gave it out that he was doing
well in his new venture and that
he thought cotton growing one
of the coming industries of a
great portion of Arizona, where
water for irrigation is availa-
BILE He doubtless made good"
as the place he has just pur-
chased had a valuation Of many
thousands of dollars.
Mr.. Balcom and his excellent
wife have a wide circio OF
friends in Nogales and Santa
Cruz county who will rejoice
to know that the often elusive
goddess of fortune has further
smiled upon them.

Harry entered the mining field
afresh, about three years ago.
His first venture was to Sc
cure an option on a large block
of the stock of the Inspiration
Needles Mining company ofMia-
mi from George J. Stoneman OF
Phoenix, Dan Williamson OF
Globe and others, it is said. The
property itself appears to have
been legitimate mining ground
of fifteen claims, about mile
from the Inspiration, near a
natural formation known as the
Needles. Most of the loose
stock appears to have been
floated in Phoenix, at prices
that ranged from Is cents to
$1.6O. Eventually, when the
market failed, the option was
forfeited. The stock is not
even quoted today.
A later and parallel scheme,
on much the same plan, was the
Miami Consolidation, which
had a number of claims close to
the Miami property in the same
camp.
Lefco is understood to have
cleaned up a large sum in the
two deals before leaving Phoe-
nix in June, 1916, or therea-
bout, for the larger eastern

Governor Capper. '"They say no state

disabilities was smaller among Kansas
troops than those Of any other state.
"Many Kansas towns did not have
to send single man to the first draft

A productive colony Of bees may be
likened figuratively to a machine which
consumes In friction 80 per cent of the
energy applied. This is not a high de-
gree of efficiency when measured by
this standard. The colony In a box
hive, then, is likened to such a machine
in bad repair and with no attention, In
which all the energy is used simply to
drive the wheels. Such machine is
totally unproductive. The properly
housed colony which is badly manipu-
lated is then comparable to the ma
chine insgood repair but in the hands
of a poor mechanic. Such a machine.
may do fair worksfor time, but the
mechanic fails to do the necessary
work at the right time and the machine
Is only occasionally productive. Final
~, the productive colony is like good
machine in the hands Of a good me.
chanic. While energy is consumed
simply to run the machine, the good
mechanic does the right work at the
right time and obtains the greatest pos,
sible reward In the machines output.
Such f1gurative comparison must not
be carried too far, and is used here
only to point out the lamentable waste
in much present-day Bookkeeping.
