NEW SIOUX CHIEF
ADOPTED WHITE man

MANDAN, ". D., June s.-with the
passing of Chief John Grass, of the
Sioux tribe of Indians, who recently
died at Fort Yates, the headquarters
of the Standing Rock agency, his man
tie falls upon the shoulders of the
only white man ever adopted into the
tribe. Thus Captain A. B. WEIGH, of
Mandan, adopted son of the old chief
tain, becomes, according to ancient
customs of the Sioux, the chief of the
tribe.
The new Sioux chief, whose Indian
name is Mato- Watakpe, is with the
United States Infantry in France and is
the aide of Major General Hunter Lig-
gett. A grandson OF John Grass. Al
bert Grass, is serving with the same
division.
Although there were formerly four
chieftains of the Sioux, only one line
remains, and, the old chiefs sons all
being dead, Captain welch, by reason
OF being an adopted son takes prece-
dence over a grandson in the direct
line.
The name Mato-watapke is the
Sioux war name of the old chief and
means Charging Bear" When he
was adopted Captain WEIGH chose this
name as the one by which he woulr
be known among the Indians.
Although the chief today has not
the same powers of the chief of years
gone by, the title still gives him the
respect of the Indian and they recog-
nize him as their leader. A chief still
represents his tribe in all the disputes
or conferences with the government.
Captain WEIGH for many years has
been a student OF the Indian customs
and formed many friendships with
| members OF the Sioux tribe. In 1913.

TEACHERS AND PUPILS IN
CHARGE OF STATEWIDE
CROP AND LABOR SURVEY

Bismarck, Feb. 2s. (SpeciaI-Ev-
cry school in the State of North Da-
kota will close a week from tomor-
row, Friday, March Sth, and the teach
ers and students will join in one of
the largest undertakings ever at
tempted in this or any other state
the taking of statewide crop and
labor survey, which is ex pected to
reach every one of the $4,000 farm
homes in the state.
The statistics which will be gather
ed in this survey will be used by the
federal and state agencies in supply
ing the needs of the farmers for the
growing of bumper" war crop.
Questionnaires have already been
sent to the county superintendent Of
schools for distribution. A sufficient
number Of questionnaires will be sent
to every teacher in the state to reach
every farmer in their respective dis
trict The teacher will assign the
older students of their school to a
certain territory within the school dis
trict, and on March 8th and 9th, the
children will take the questionnaires
around to the farm homes to have
them filled out.
The questionnaires will be returned
to the teachers, properly filled out
on Monday, and the teacher will pro-
ceed to make summary of the school
district to be forwarded to the county
superintendent. The county superin-
tendent in turn will compile sum-
mary for the county, to be forward
ed to the office of the commissioner
Of agriculture and labor, who will
compile summary for the entire
state. The original questionnaires
will be turned over to the county agri-
cultural agents to aid them in their
work among the farmers.
Three important features will be
covered in the survey-labor, crop
and live stock. The farmer will es-
innate the amount Of labor he will
need during the coming season, will
forward report on the acreage plant
ed, and the amount of livestock on
hand. A survey Of the seed and feed
situation will also be taken with a
view of ascertaining the exact amount
needed in each county.

for Tractor Owners Full Week
Beginning March A.

The International Harvester COM
pany of America will hold school OF
tractor instruction in their building,
full week March 4th to 9th, for the
benefit Of farmers owning engines,
those who operate them, agriculturists
and business men interested in the
use of farm power.
Owing to the abnormal conditions
tractors must be in shape to work
day and night if necessary to make
possible the increased production OF
food we need. There must be no de-
lays due to unsatisfactory operation,
no loss of time from misunderstand-
ing.
To this end the International Har-
vester company proposes to hold trac-
tor schools in various parts OF this
territory in order that users may get
the best possible service out of their
tractors.
This school will be absolutely free
to all who care to attend, whether they
are tractor owners or not. Nothing
will be offered for sale and there will
be no selling talks. A course of in
struction in how tractor works and

ors of this and other states. Among
the list of speakers will be DR.. l.. D..
Coffman, dean Of the Department Of
Education of the University of Min
nesota, and President Black, of the
Glendale Normal school. The last
named gentleman is president of the
State Teachers Association, which
meets in this city in October. State
Superintendent Macdonald will be here
as will Thomas F. Kane, the newly
elected president of our state univer-
sity. President Kane is now at the
head of Olivet College, one of the
leading educational institutions of the

how to keep it working will be strict
ly adhered to.
The instructors are practical tractor
and engine men and the course is
laid out on large charts illustrated
with clear diagrams and described in
simple terms. 1t takes up the rea-
sons why an engine operates, what
takes places within the cylinder of an
engine, symptoms that indicate ap-
preaching trouble, how to look for
trouble and not overlook it, how to get
the best possible service from a trac-
tor or engine, new uses for tractors
and many other subjects of special
interest to men in this locality.
Those who attend the school will be
encouraged to ask questions on any
subject in connection with tractors
and engines. These questions will be
answered at the end of each school
session. There will be demonstra-
tions with engines and tractors them
selves.
To be sure that every one who at
tends the school carries home with
him every point brought out there, a
book containing all subjects discussed
at the school will be given every man.
Every farmer who owns a tractor or
engine should attend this school but,
more important still, he should bring
with him the man who operates his
tractor.

LITTLE HURLEY Girl
Reilly, Degenerate Janitor, Locks
Himself in Room with Eight Year
Old Girl When Intoxicated.

A janitor named Reilly who has
been employed looking after the Vir-
ginia Flats and several other build
ings in this city, is in the city Jail,
facing serious charge. Reilly has
been in the habit of giving the little
children of Oscar Hurley money and
candy and Sunday while intoxicated,
enticed Mr.. Hurley's little eight-year-
old daughter into a room, locking the
door. He then proceeded to make an
indecent exposure, causing the little
girl to scream. Her brother on the
outside gave the alarm and the police
appeared and arrested the degenerate
Fortunately the little girl was not
harmed.
The father, naturally, is enraged
and remarked to the Judge: "Just
give me 80 minutes with the brute and
the law will not need to bother with
him."
Unfortunately the man can be con-
victed of only misdemeanor where
as long term on the rockpile is what
he deserves.

|. A. white: SUPER
INTENDENT OF
N|N0T SCHOOLS
Educator Who Has Done Fine Work
at WillistOn Given Three Year
Contract-Supt. Francis Not
an Applicant.

l.. A. White, for years superinten-
dent of schools of the city of Willis
ton, N. D. has been given three year
contract as superintendent of schools
of the city of Minot, beginning July
l, 1918.
The board has been considering Mr..
White for some time and has received
the very best reports concerning his
work. Mr.. White took charge of the
Williston schools during time when
the city was divided into various fac
tions and he has united the people of
the City of Opportunity in notable
manner and has done splendid work
stranger here, for he was an instruct
or at the summer school at the Minot
Normal for several terms. He is a
native of Iowa, has taken post
graduate course at the Columbia uni
versity. He is married and has two
children. Supt. White and family
will soon become residents of our city.
Supt. Bruce Francis, who has been
in charge of the Minot schools during
the past three years, was not an ap-
plicant for reelection. Supt. Francis
has done hard and effective work in
Minot and while here has won host
of friends, who will wish him well
wherever he may locate.
In the interest of economy, the
board has decided to dispense for one
year with the supervisor in each of
the following subjects: Music, draw
ing, writing, physical education and
reading. The work in the above
studies will be taken up by the vari-
Gus instructors.
Contracts have been offered to each
of the fifty teachers in the Minot
schools, but all have not yet been
signed.
The attendance in the Minot schools
this year is about hundred over last
year, indicating that the population
Of Minot is growing steadily.
The new high school which is rap
idly nearing completion, will be in
readiness when the fall term opens
next September.
