Origin Of the Buffalo,

In Tributes to Vanishing
Race, work of which Wenonah
(Mrs. Irene G. Beaulieu) of Paw
huska, Okla, is a joint compiler,
she contributed an admirable essay
on the origin of the buffalo as she
obtained 1t from a legend of her
people the Dakotas. Muses. the
Hebrew in his cosmogony, in a
chapter of no great length has
given US an account Of the origin
of all things. In one verse he
SAID, God will let the Earth
bring forth the living creature of
his kind, cattle and creeping thing
and beast Of the earth after his
kind, and it was So. Biology has

certained the nature of protoplasm
and primorGial cell.
The old Dakotan never read
Moses, Darwin nor the chemist
biologist, but his poetic mind
dreamed, and out of his vision
came the ideal into verbal form,
and to the Dakotas came another
story to add to their store of rich
legends. Wenonah has clothed the
legend in the rich language of the
English speaking people.
She has missed no detail of
original construction yet has add
ed to inte,cs by her style of
description.
The legend is too long for re-
production in the limited space of

REPORT OF THE WHITE
EARTH RED CROSS BRANCH.
BY Emily P. Robitaille, chirman:
On August II, 1917, the officers
of the Becker County Chapter of
the American Red Cross held a
meeting in the Assembly Hall for
the purpose Of organizing a branch
of the Red Cross at White Earth.
The result OF this meeting being
that Branch of the Becker County
Chapter of the Red Cross was or
ganized ON August "a, 1917, with
a membership of Fl men and wom-
en-.
The work being new and pro.
cedure uncertain the officers of the
White Earth Red Cross matored to
Detroit to attend a work meeting
of that organization there to OBJ
tain all possible information as to
the manner of carrying ON the
work at White Earth. Yarn and
knitting needles were also pur-
chased at this time and the ladies
began at once to knit. By Oct. Is
the first shipment of articles were
sent to Detroit. Many compliments
were received from the Chapter on
the excellent workmanship of the
articles, and thus encouraged the
good work has gone steadily on.
Fifty-two new members we're
added to the White Earth Branch
during the Christmas drive, and
the membership now numbers 125.
Considering the small popula~
ton of the village of White Earth
the Red Cross is we'll represented
by the above membership.
The financial report is as FOL-

Simmons Blames Kitchin for
Delay in Reporting Revenue
Measure.
PLEA FOR INDUSTRIES
Baruch Asks Senate Committee
to Encourage Nitrate and
Potash as War Babies.
SpsraI DsspntcA 10 TEE SUI


WASHINGTON, Oct c5.-The revenue
bill urgently asked tor as completed
measure by the Secretary OF the Treas
ury before the beginning OF the Liberty
Loan drive just ended will not be re-
ported 20 the Senate until after election
This was admitted to-day by Chairman
Simmons OF the Senate Finance COM
mittee. He declared that il was now
impossible to straighten out the Kitchin
bill before October 80. when Congress
will recess until November .
Members OF the Finance Committee
pointed out to-day, however, that the
blame for this delay rests with the Ways
and Means Committee OF the House and
not with the Finance Committee, as to
comply with the urgent request OF the
Secretary OF the Treasury 1t would have
been necessary blindly to take the
Kitchin measure and push 1t through
the Senate without correcting any Of its
inequities and mistakes in economic
policy
The Finance Committee to-da Y finished
the insurance section of the revised bill
and completed the Inheritance tax title.
Although the rates were decided on
and the work completed no vote was
taken on the adoption OF these parts
of the bill on account OF the necessary
absence of two or three Senators who
particularly desired TO be present when
| this vote was taken. For this reason
the rates were not disclosed to-day.
Chairman Baruch of the War In
dustries Board was before the committee
at its mornng session to urge that spe-
ciRl treatment be given the nitrate and
/ potash industries, which are real war
babies so far as American industry is
concerned and which must be enccur-
| aged on account OF their war value and
| their later value In agriculture,
il WAS Mr. Baruch's idea that this
treatment should continue during the
period OF development OF these indus
| tries and urged the committee TO eX-
empt these Industries from part Of
all OF the taxes which would otherwise
be imposed. The committee has taken
no action.
