LITTLE BROWN
COUSIN" HERE
There's New Baby Girl In keokuk
and She Is Real Cherokee In
dian, Lives In a Tent and
Dressed Like Papoose.

There's a brand new Indian baby
girl in town, born Saturday. It's home
is in a tent, really a wigwam, pitched
out on the Hamill place, across from
the Standard Four Tire factory. The
baby is sure enough Cherokee and
so are its parents and the other per-
sons in their party who are camping
out there this cool weather.
The baby doesn't seem to mind the
old tent a bit and looks very much
at home in her surroundings. and she's
all bundled up in true papoose style
all ready to be strapped to some mem
Der of the tribes back and brought
down town to see the city some day.
There are three families of these
Cherokee Indians living at the edge or
Keolluk in the tents, but they are not
living in tents because they have to
do so but because, they says, its so
much more healthy" These people
are we'll to do. speak good English.
own some farm lands in the United
States and wear necklaces and tie
pins made of five dollar gold pieces
and silver coins. They also have
three automobiles with them which
are their own property.
Surrounded by civilization and lux
uries which they have the money to
buy, they prefer their tribal customs
and habits of life. Some Of the women
in the party have store down town
where they tell fortunes and the build
ing is heated by burning Goals which
are placed in big shallow pans, rather
than by stoves, for 'it is their way
they say. The newest little Indian
girl in their midst may never have
white wooley robes with blue ribbons
on 1t for her lacy crib, or candles, on
her birthday cakes, or dancing school
lessons, but she will receive her I'M
disputed heritage Of love of Mother
Earth's sun. moon and stars, and
trees and flowers, and happy, peace
full disposition and carefree existence;
SO blessings on thee, little Cherokee.
The mothers name is Co-Yah, the
fathers Mavzah. The baby will be
christened later when there will be a
celebration and appointing of god
father.

Generating the Farmer.

The Nations Business: Wheat is
the key crop to American agricul-
ture. The things the city man does
not know about the wheat crop are
Just illustrative of what he does not
know about farming in general.
Among the things on which his mind
has ceased to function is the per-
fectly self-evident fact that the
farmer cannot profiteer.
To profiteer involves controlling
the supply and setting the price at a
level which involves making large
profits. The farmer cannot control
the supply, does not and has never
set price. There are 100000 in
diyidual farms in America and very
farmer sells what he raises in com
petition with every other farmer at
a price fixed by the purchaser AID
he buys his necessities in the open
market at what the vendor asks for
them, and CANDLES his capital, and
the labor of himself, his wife and
his children from two years old up
against the weather, plant and ami.
NAL diseases and insect pests, to get
his crop without any assurance of
even an average crop, without at any
time more than the probability that
he will have a market, and without
any assurance at any time that the
market price will make him a profit.

Cocoa Party in Boston.

Boston Globe: Boston had re.
markable tea party in 1878, in which
the tea was mixed with the waters
Of the harbor
The first local affair since then
having resemblance to it was a CO.
Goa party few afternoons ago in
which half ton OF cocoa was dump
ed into city scows to be mixed with
the waters of the harbor soon after
daylight.
One difference between the two
events Is that the tea party was I'M
official, decidedly unlawful and carried
out by make-believe Indians, while
the cocoa party was authorized by
the pure food branch of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
and superintendent by Deputy United
States Marshall Charles A. Bancroft,
who had no occasion for assuming
the disguise of a red man.
The spot where the tea was thrown
overheard and the site of the city
dump where the cocoa was shot
through trap door in the wharf are
scarcely more than a hundred feet
apart.
The cocoa destroyed the other day,
with three or four tons more to be
dumped later, was seized last April
from grocers and other dealers al
over Boston, having been found by
the pure food authorities to contain
"some adulterant which, If not high.
ly injurious, is considered not condu.

OWNERS
ARE WILLING
Ready to Cooperate With Govern
ment in Any Steps Taken
During Strike OF
Miners.

by Thomas T. Brewster, President
of the Coal Operators Association.
Written for the United Press.l
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 30.-What-
ever steps the government sees fit to
take in the prospective crisis will
find the coal operators ready to sup
port to the fullest extent.
We cannot operate the mines of
our own accord if the men walk out.
Laws in certain states define tie
status of miners and without govern
ment Intervention we cannot put
anybody to work to fill the striker's
places.
The operators are willing and
ready to resume negotiations with
the miners and submit all disasc
ments to arbitration providing the
strike order is rescinued pending
negotiations and the award of the
arbitration board. We have assured
the president and Secretary Wilson
we would do this. but the miners
have refused.
The statement issued by the
United Mine Workers of America
last night in Indianapolis is merely
a reiteration Of what they have said
before. There is. nothing in 1t that
offers a possibility or reopening
negotiations.
The operators have been ordered
to hold themselves In readiness to
confer on the situation and may
meet soon in Cleveland.

Jazz Music Doomed? Critics and Band
Men Seem to Think it and Shimmy
Dance Are on Wane i'm American Cities

that the handwriting already Is on
the wall and that the jazz is becom-
ing passe. For instance in Omaha
and Kansas City 1t is practically
under the ban. In the former town
the officials have excluded the from
bone and saxaphone from the orches-
tras because these are the instru
ments that make EN- like to shimmy,
officials are said to have told the
dance hall proprietors.
Dancing Teachers Ban.
II public opinion and tastes are
going to mako funeral arrangements
for jazz music, the National Associa-
ton of American Dancing and the
dancing school teachers all over the
country are ringing the death knell
of the shimmey. It's already gone
from the cities in the east. New
York positively forbids it and leaders
of the dance in other places say that
they're going to down the shimmey
in every city If they have to police
the dance floors.
Miss Ida Agne has recently return
ed from Chicago where she conferred
with dancing teachers who were
members OF the American Dancing
association which had met a short
time ago in New York. Miss Agne
says that the American Association
of Dancing is against the shimmey
and has voted to down 1t as a popu-
lar dance this winter because it is
an immoral one. Should we allow
it to be used, and recognize it Off
cially, we would be degrading dane
ing instead of uplifting it, and it
should be made an art just like fine
pictures and music.
1.-THE National Association of
American Dancing and teachers are
striving to make dancing clean and
artistic and they are only introducing
those steps which will do that" Miss
Agne says that the waltz, one-step and
fox-trot will be the dances again this
season, with some new features put
in the last two to make them inter.
testing.

Shedding Her Colonial Garments.

Springfield Republican,: The Do.
minion of Canada is to have repre-.
sentative of it's own at Washington
but does not yet know the status of
the official any more than it knows
its own present international status.
Apparently nothing less than full
fledged ambassador will satisfy a
large section of Canadian opinion.
Tho thought that the official may
be only secretary or an attache is
and Canadian papers are
saying it would be beneath the
dignity Of self-governing people to
have at Washington representa-
tive whose status was lower than
that of the representative of Argen-
tine or Brazil. In other words. Ca
nadians regard their country as indie
pendent in all but name.

Can't Exist Without Harmony
Is Band Mems Idea
OF Newest Fad

jazz music and shimmey dancing
are two of the things that can't last
much longer, people in the cities who
know are saying, and so are our local
authorities on the subject. There is
an increasing tendency on the part
OF all music lovers whether they like
ragtfme or classics or both, to be out
OF sympathy with the jazz stuff and
while most of them say less about
the extreme dancing, the National
dancing association of America and
dancing school teachers are against
the shimmey, heart and soul
ut can't last for there's absolutely
no music in It," said w. H. Bower,
the head of the Keokulc Concert band,
in speaking of jazz productions
People love music for it's harmony
rhythm, and thrills. Why. real music
grips person more than almost any
other kind Of art. and that is one
reason it Is SO popular. Jazz music
is merely a combination of noises
with no attempt at rhythm, or to
create harmony and anything that's
going to last for more than q season
or two must have those elements
in it."
Disappearing In Many Places.
Mr.. Bower went on to say that this
wasn't just his own personal opinion
on the subject and he mentioned
many places in the east where it was
fast disappearing. ALI of the first
class restaurants in New York City
are replacing their jazz music with
real orchestras which play music. II
can't see how this jazz noise appeals
to people," the band master said,
shaking his head.
Other music critics say that the
jazz music cannot last. They claim

us on sugar ration and gave permits
sion to grocers to sell to customers
half pound packages at six cents, al
though the fair price list" said ten
cents a pound, George II. Salmon, No.

1T seems strange" Mr. Salmon
said to newspaper men. Here l am

The sugar was in Cuba and was sold
