LESSON FROM THE INDIANS
Natives Made Bread From Nuts and
Other Products of the Forests
That Still Exist.

Germany has sent her children to
the forests for oils that are badly
needed in the fatherland. Mere tots
are employed to pick up beechnuts,
which are rich in nutritious qualities
vital to the health Of the nation. II
America is ever compelled by q great
food shortage to return to nature, the
present inhabitants of the United
States will do we'll, according to the
forest service of the department Of
agriculture, to take a lesson from the
original owners Of the soil, Thomas F..
Logan writes in Leslie's. The forests
of this country offer an amazing va
riety of edibles. Americas beechnuts,
butternuts, walnuts, pecans, chinQua-
pins and hazelnuts are toothsome,
highly nutritious, and may be used
as a substitute for meat.
The Indians, according to forest
service experts, mixed chestnuts with
cornmeal and made bread which was
baked in corn husks, like tamales. Our
redskin predecessors also manufac-
tured flour from the fruit Of the oak.
They pounded the acorns and leached
out the tannin hy treating the pulp
withhot water. The result was pala-
table and nouriShing bread. Pine
seeds, wild persimmons. wild crab ap-
pies, bulbs of the Judas tree and pods
Of the honey locust, cabbage, palmetto,
mesquite and sassafras are excellent
substitutes for cultivated fruits and
vegetables. Nature is so prodigal OF
her riches in this country that America
can never be starved to death by an
"iron ring"

WHY POORLY MANAGED CITIES
inefficient Officials Placed in Charge
of Affairs of Which They Know
Nothing; Extravaganza Follows.

A big city-whose affairs, says the
Chicago Post, are more complex than
those of any private corporation ;
whose revenues and expenditures are
counted in many millions; whose adj
ministration affects the prosperity,
health and morals Of million or more
people-selectS from among its citi-
zens a politician, good fellow, joiner,
and makes him its mayor. He ap-
points to cffice men Of his own kind,
chosen for personal or political rea-
sons.
And then we wonder that eXtrava-
gance, inefficiency and worse mark mu-
nicipal government.
A big city puts on its council ward
politicians and individuals who have
never displayed capacity for any use
full occupation, and we wonder that
the public interest is neglected.
A big city puts on its school board
men who have no knowledge of edu-
cational problems. and we wonder that
our schools are mismanaged.
1t is the inefficiency of democracy,
we say. Rather, it is the stupidity of
people who have never tried to realize
the possibilities Of democracy; who
have never given democracy chance.
1t is no essential principle of democ-
racy to ignore the necessity Of training
for service. But that is what we have
been doing. We persist in regarding
public position as political jobs rather
than as occasions for the employment
of trained men in the doing Of highly
specialized work.
Mayor Mitchell Of New York declares
it to be his experience that trained
men are practically unobtainable for
municipal office. And that will re-
main true until we provide for their
training and create popular demand
for their service.
The Wisconsin legislature is consld-
ering a bill to establish IN the state
university training school for pub
lie service under professor Of pub
lie administration.
Every university has departments of
political theory, but this school will
deal with the practical problems of
government and administration-mu-
nicipal engineering, lighting, street
making and cleaning, transportation,
parks and Fairgrounds, health, drain
age, education and the rest. 1t will
endeavor to develop the practical ex-
pert in such matters.

Considerable misunderstanding has arisen over the selection of the names for service of those drawn in skagway, and this morn- Ia MT. Shaw, secretary of the To- cal exemption board made an ex- planation as to how these numbers Or names were arrived at.. Origin ally the registrants Were given Q registration number. This was charged later, and all registrants were given an order number. Later after missionaries had been sent out end returns made ell registrants were classified.
 The master list was then referred to. and as Skagway had only S1 restaurants, the first number on the Master List which fell within the Skagway numerical list was designat ed as the first number. This is 43. The next on the Master List is 10, then IS, then 46, etc, until all numbers drawn at the first craft at Washington lower than 9l was placed in the order in which they wfee drawn.
 When the local Board was noti- fled tc call to the colors nine men, the list was referred to and it was foun3 that No. 4B, of the Master List was the first number in Skag- way :n the Class 1, Division A list. By this method the nine names were called, and the number preceding the following names is taken from the local order number, while the number following the name is talk en from the Master List.
