known as the Niobrara course OF
lessons" which is being prepared By
Rev. DIR. Bradner. OF the general
board of religious education, will be.
gin to be taught in the Episcopal In
dian churches and chapels. The pur.
pose OF the course is to meet a need
for the education of the young chill
dren among the Sioux Indians. Sun.
day schools are largely out of the
question in the case of the scattered
chapels. IL is intended to place in
the hands Of each clergyman, cate
chist and helper in the Indian field a
definite lesson in which he shall, on
each Sunday, instruct hi. congrega-
ton. They are intended, in turn, TO
take home to the children the instruc-
ton received, and from time to time
the children are to be examined in
the work. Thus it is hoped to reach
with definite Christian instruction
not only the little ones, but their par
ents as well. The lessons will an
brace a flve-year cycle. They will be
printed in English and Sioux.

State Sheriff Shanks calls attention
to the article run in many papers of
the state announcing that the govern.
ment will allow the manufacture OF
200 gallons Of wine for home consump-
ton In any family of the state. He
says that the regulation covers what
the federal government will allow
without the collection OF revenue, but
that under the state law there is no
right TO manufacture even a part of
a gallon. let alone 200 gallons. He
says the manufacture OF any amount
OF wine, or having II in possession,
may lead to trouble on the part OF
those who take II for granted that
they are allowed the privilege Of zoe
gallons under the federal regulation.
