one diversion from historical accuracy
absence of the ten barrels of fire
Michigan Friday celebrated
the hundredth anniversary of the
treaty by which the greater part of

wa chiefs signed the treaty in 1919.
General Cass' arrived here to-day
from the waters of the Flint river.
which he reached in 1919 after a ride
on horseback through the unbroSen
wilderness frcm Detroit. Hundreds of
actual descendants of the Chippewas
met him up the river with their gaily
colored canoes, and wearing their tri-
bal resalia and war paint.
At the conference ground, the pipe
of peace will be smoked. Only the
ten barrels of "firewater" with the
man beside each with a willing dip
per" will be missing from the ritual.
In exchange for the rich territor>
extending from the southern border
of Genesee country to the Thunder
Bay river and running to the center
of the state the United States promis.
ed to pay the Chippewa Indians and
their descendants forever $1,000 a
year in silver.
The treaty made a number of re
servations of territory to be retained
by the Indians. but these now have
come into possession of whites.

Take care of the farmer and the
farmer will take care of democracy"
declared Nine Agresti, in telling Of
the work of the International Insti-
tute of Agriculture, founded by David
Lubin, an American. THE institute
is really the first league of nations,
and has already ffty-eight countries
organized to control the price Of
wheat and all other food necessities,
and to regulate the supply and de-
mand. Since David Lubin's death in
January the United States is the only
country, with the exception of Ger
many, which now has no representa-
tives at this institute at Rome. 1t is
of the greatest Importance that the
United States do not neglect this op-
portunity, because more than any
other agent, it can reduce the cost Of
living, not only for the United states
but the entire world"
