The two speakers on the pro-
gram told, among other things, of
the great success they had Just
had at Trail City and Laplant.
where the quota for those towns
had been over-subscribcd. and
how the drive" in Dewey co was
going along splendidly. I;oth of
the singers responded To encorcs,
while the melodies of the 'cullud
ge'men' was pleasing surprise to
all.
Next was something not printed
in the program, viz: the college
yell of the boys, which is an inno-
walton and a note of progress not
known before at the Agency
boarding school. The words were
something like this, if our memory
serves us right:
"Chey enne
Will shine,
You bet
Before the sun will set. :"
This yell was significant, too.
when taken ln connection with the
battalion drill given by The boys
on the parade ground before the
Injecting began. The boys arc
showing great proficiency along
these lines under the lead of their
new disciplinarian, MIR. Jacob
Wolf.
The above features of an enter
tanning program made it compar-
atiyely an easy task for the solicit
ors to raise the amount of the
Agency's quota viz $4,000 which
was obtained in less than half an
hour.
At the conclusion of the meeting
it was announced that number of
Indians had subscribed for $1,000
worth during the week at the Su-
perintcndcnt's office, which. with
the amount over subscribed at the
meeting. made grand total of at
least S655OOO.

Reports from Gettysburg are to
the effect that our town is consid-
cradle of Stacker as regards the
sale of war-savin, stamps. and
that practically nothing has been
doing in that line. This is partly
accounted for by the fact that the
town has not progressed yet to the
point where it supports any volun-
tary working organizations of any

bly,, the Woodman and ROYAL

Several members made the add1-

the public and the government depart

That prefiteefing exists, sufficient to
warrant such an inquiry. is shown by
the presidents utterance that the
''profiteer is with u.s." by the recent
federal trade commission report and
treasury department data, committee
members hold.
More Proof of Profitecring.
This proof has been clinched by ad-
ditional data in the hands of the
house committee
This includes the case of a coal
company which made 1000 per cent
and the case of an individual income
that jumped from $500 to $500, 900
in a single year.
The determination of the committee
to go the limit in taking war profits
is based on the belief that normal bus
mess and the country at large should
not be asked to bear additional tax
burdens until the gains of few con-
scienceless individuals and firms are
turned back into the federal treasury.
Large Profits Not Necessary.
The committees course also means
that they have rejected the argument
that there must be large profits if the
treasury is to realize any considera BILE
