The press of the state, principal
ly the country publisher is facing
a crisis in a growing scarcity OF
print pap,r, not to mention sky
ward leap in the price of every
thing used in his profession. The
latter he can partially overcome
by au increase in price of what he
has to, sell, for example,, an ad-
vance in subscription to 81 year
which does. not anywhere near
cover the advance in the price OF
paper, but he is truly up against 1t
in the matter of a paper shortage.
The situation is so serious that
temporary suspension of ,pubIica
ton faces some publishers. and
quite a number are contemplating
red uction in the size of their
papers. The Morris Tribune
offers . unique reason for the
shortage III print paper. Les editor
bolds the excess profits tax re-
sponsible. Hundreds and thous
ands of the great, industrial cor
porations, the Tribune editor says,
have found that they haveto spend
more money for expenses or pay a
profits tax and accordingly they
have been putting the excess IN
advertising space. In consequence
the advertising pages of the aver
aue publication have doubled many
times and the drain on the paper
manufacturers is beyond capacity
Some of the articles aovert'sed
not to mention the abuse IN the

prehension of the average person

Sale Of Sioux Indian
Lands Adds Over ST.
100000 to Tribe
Treasury.

The Rosebud Sioux Indians of
South Dakota recently sold 81,
O8O,OOO worth of their reservation
to individual white people. 1t was
the largest sale of Indian lands the
United States government ever
held and in the three days of the
sale more than 40, 900 acres Of the
reservation passed into the possess.
sion of tie white people. The
lands were located in Todd, Mel
'lettec, Tripp, Lyman and Gregory
counties. and constituted that por-
tion of the reservation which is
not needed for the use of the
Sioux themselves. The 81, 900, 900
will be used by the governments
for the benefit of the tribe. r
This portion of the country was
once alluded to as the great
American DESERT One-half sec
ton of the desert, " near the town
of Colone, sold for $4,000.
Defenders of "Poor 10" used to
write and talk about how the Rose
bud Sioux had been placed on a
reservation where the land was so
poor they couldn't even raise a
fuss. They used to say that
twenty acres of the lard was re.
quired for single steer to graze
upon. They used to say the In
dams could not possibly produce
enough on their land to feed them
selver. And recently toe entire
40, 900 acres brought an average
price of $25 per acre.
The state of South Dakota tried
to purchase 10000 acres of the
lard for the purpose of presenting
it to soldiers from that state who

he placed the book in his pocket to re-

party appeared before him he had for.

vide an important clew to an under
standing of Germany's domestic policy.
In one sense the present regime in
Germany may be truthfully described
as government by the armistice com
mission. What Erzbergcr processes to

used as conclusive argument in inter

German commonwealth.
Thus has Erzberger's personal inAu-
ence become one of the most potent
factors in German policy. He seems
to be pulling wires everywhere, with
dark hints of the suggestions advanced
or alleged to have been advanced in
public or private by Marshal Foch.

Representatives Present
ideas on Repdrati0n

PARIS, Feb. 13 (By The Associated
Press).-The Leon Bourgeois PROPOSE
ton for an inter-Allied military force
to enforce peace was defeated by an
Overwhelming vote at the meeting Of
Tic Society Of Nations Commission to-
day
The French and Czecho-s -slovaks
were the only representatives voting
in the affirmative
The draft of the society of nations
plan was then unanimously adopted as
a whole. The final draft consists of
twenty-six articles.
President Wilson will personally
read the draft at plenary meeting of
the peace conference tomorrow. The
conference will not be asked to finally
adopt it at this time
The japanese delegation presented
an amendment providing that racial
discrimination should not be tolerated
in immigration laws
Several deleeete urged that this
would open such large question that
great delay might ensue, and the mat
ter was drop ed without a vote.
The commission resumed its sessions
at 1890 o'clock this morning with a
full attendance of the members to re
ceive the report Of the drafting com
mittee.
The commission took recess at
o'clock until 8 o'clock this afternoon.
1t had then gone over seven articles of
the draft.
Military Force Considered
The first subject considered on the
resumption OF the sitting of the COM
mission on a society of nations this
afternoon concerned the international
military force. President Wilson was
not present at the session this after
noon, having to attend the supreme
war council. Lord Robert Cecil acted
as chairman during his absence.
The text of the plan for the society
OF nations as first drawn up by the
commission and altered in some cases
at the instance of President Wilson
was afterward amended il developed
to-day, after representations by NJ.

question, whose ideas are stated TO
have been we'll received by the Allies.
In one case the plan was amended 80
as to provide that the nations having
membership in the league should
pledge themselves to take up arms IL
necessary for the maintenance of the
integrity OF their respective territories.
