Secure Best Results.
In windbreak planting the best re
suits usually are secured when the
shortest trees are placed on the side
facing the wind, so that sloping face
is presented and the air currents are
DETECTED upward. These short trees
should have low-branching habits and
dense foliage, in order that they MAY
offer as much hindrance to the pas
sage of air currents close to the
ground as is possible. The Russian

Speaking to over 5000 people in one

1000 to 1000 every day in the week,
S. j. Doyle, Democratic candidate for
governor who is receiving the whole
hearted support of all parties in the

SIOUX INDIANS
IN MOVIES
North Dakota Ranchmann Secures
+, Films of Sioux Tribal Life and Gus
toms.

Bismarck, N .D.-The "Y-O" ranch,
one of the Missouri valleys greatest
show places, nay become as famous
in the moving picture world as is the
Biller Brothers "101" ranch in the
Panhandle district.
C. P. Brunstad. owner of the "Y-O"
which comprises some 40, 900 acres of
fine grazing and alfalfa lands on both
sides of the Missouri, including eight
sets of ranch buildings, will complete
at the Standing Rock Indian fair at
Fort Yates a 5000 foot picture which
is believed to be the most elaborate
piece of pictorial publicity. which the
Northwest has ever given. For this
picture Mr.. Burnstad has utilized the
services of his own outfit of rough
riders, and he has succeeded for the
first time in securing the consent of
full-blooded Sioux Indians to perpet-
uate on the film their tribal dances and
domestic, political and military life.
At Fort Yates, by special arrange
ment with Supt. Hitch, noted chief
tains of the Teton Dakota nation pos
ed before the moving picture camera
for "~close-ups", and the braves who
may have followed Sitting Bull on the
ill-fated campaign which eliminated
in the massacre OF, Custer and his
men, staged their war dances, ghost
dances and other tribal ceremonials.
There will be more footage, too, Of
prominent Indian writer's whose
names are known in every roundup
center of the Northwest, and with
several reels of pictures which Bruins
tad already had made, he believes he
will have a most complete and a de-
cidedly interesting symposium, of goth
century life on the last frontier.
Aside from the Percherons and
Herefords, Burstad has but one hob
blythe motion picture. He has paid
for hundreds of feet of film which has
been sent east and exhibited free Of
charge through educational agencies.
Recently as a token of their esteem,
the Sioux of Standing Rock reserva-
ton, formally adopted the "Y-O"
ranch king, comforting upon him the
name of their greatest chieftain, Gall.
In celebration of this event Brunstad
hopes to make the film which he is
now completing the greatest of all In
dian pictures.
