TUsCANIA SURVIVOR HOME.

Frank Gaboury returned home Tues
day evening from France, where he saw
service for fifteen months. He was dis
charged at Camp Dodge. Young Ca
boury had mighty thrilling expert
ence on his way to France year ago
last February. The ship The Tuscania,
was torpedoed a considerable distance
off the Irish coast and as the men were
about to take to the life boats they
found that some Of the boats could not
be gotten loose. Gaboury jumped from
the boat and after being in the water
for a long time he came upon a large
dead fish. He clung to this fish for
more than an hour and finally, when a
destroyer came to the rescue Of men on
the ill-fated boat, he let 60 of the fish
and swan to the destroyer. When he
was rescued from the water he was
nearly frozen and for time he was un-

INDIANS TO FARM
MILE LAC FIELD DIVIDED INTO
PLATS AND EACH FAMILY
WILL WORK ONE.

Duluth, Mimi, June 12.-Chippewa
Indians living in the Mile Lac Indian
village near Vineland have made a
new departure in agriculture this
spring. For the first time in the history
Of the county community farm has
been established by the twenty or more
Indian families at Mile Lac:
A. B. Hostetter of the county agri-
cultural agents office is aiding the In
dian villagers in their project. A large
field near the village has divided the
sixteen plats and the Indians drew lots
for the plats. They will continue to
live in their village and farm their
strips Of land using comparatively own
ed equipment furnished by the govern
ment.
Cucumbers will be the main crop
raised. A large sailing factory at Wah-
kon was the main factor in the. decision
of the Indians to become 'pickle rails
ers.' They will also grow enough corn
for their horses and family use.
The idea Of community farm for the
Indians originated with Harry Ayre, a
store keeper at Vineland who has tax
en- great interest in the villagers and
knows their language and customs.
The Mile Lac Indians have taken to
community farming enthusiastically
Many Of the villagers are unable to
talk English and have no desire to be-
come Ncivilized' to the extent Of be-
coming real farmers. They can make
more money and enjoy themselves bet
ter in other pursuits. -,
Just now the Indians are engaged in
fishing. They catch 1900 to $500
pounds of fish a day and find a ready
market, for it in the government. Most
Of their fishing is done with lines, only
the squaws engaging in net fishing. The
county agricultural agents stat DE-
cided that perhaps the villagers should
be encouraged in following this voca'
tion and that farming should be with
them only a side line. The community
farm is the result. The experiment is
being watched with great interest.
The Mile Lac Indians live very con.
tentedly in their village, more than half
of the families living in wigwams.
They have threesdance halls, however.

have been received by the Bureau num-
erous uncancelled stamps taken from
taxable articles purchased at drug
stores. @-' -'.t
Regulations 81, relating to the collec-
tion Of the tax on toilet and medicinal

This provision, the Bureau states, will
be strictly enforced.
The penalty for making use Nof a.

Reports have also reached the Bureau
Of Internal Revnue that some taxpayers
are under the impression that revenue
agents sent out to check up income tax
returns are receiving commissions on
amounts found to be due the govern
ment.
The Bureau Internal Revenue today
issued a statement declaring such i'm
preston to be erroneous and wholly
without foundations. Revenue officers
engaged in checking up returns, it was
stated, are on a salaried basis, and
there is no incentive to add to the cor
rect amount of the tax due.

franchises was discussed particularly as
relating to the length of time. Some
favored long time franchises and others
were for short time franchises. In the
proposed amendment Is years was sug-
gested as the limit and this was raised
to 20 years. Otherwise this clause
was not changed. ss
The last proposed amendment listed
on the pamphlet, relating to the initia-
tive and referendum, was approved with
two changes in the percentages. It was
proposed that on presentation Of the
council Of an ordinance accompanied by
a petition Of Is per cent of the voters,
the council would be required to pass
the measure in 20 days without a1tera-
ton, OF otherwise to call an election on
the measure within Is days. In this
paragraph it was suggested to change
the percentage to 25, as it was felt that
trouble might be caused if
such a small percentage Of voters would
have power to initiate public measures.
The second paragraph, relating to the
referendum, which read that all ordin-.
ances passed by the council other than
Improvement measures, would lie over.
80 days, and il in the meantime q refer
endum petition signed by 40 per cent Of
the voters be presented, the measure
will be Of no effect or the council can
submit same to the vote Of the people
and will remain Of nc. effect unless ap-
proved BY the voters. The percentage.
in this was changed to 20. =s

It is all very we'll for General Crow
der, in his appearances before the sem
ate military committee investigating
courts martial, to say that sentences
imposed on soldiers during the war
and found, upon review, to be too
severe, would be mitigated through
the presidents power of remission,
but the injustice has been done.
Scores of cases have been recorded
where, for trifl1ng offenses, soldier
boys have been given long prison SEN
fences. In one instance boy just en-
listed, and consequently not familiar
with military regulations, was SEN
fenced to 40 years in federal prison for
"sassing" a second lieutenant who de-
manded that he throw away a cigar
cite he was Smoking. Nice state of
affairs for the war department to
tolerate. But the nastiest back-hand
slap of all was that administered tc
the boys by Secretary Of War Baker
who released lib so-called "conscien.
tious DIRECTORS dirty slackers from
Leavenworth prison and paid then
from $400 to $500 apiece upon release
IF you are true American this
story cannot do other than incite YOU
to profanity.

The administration asked for an ap-
preparation of $75O,OOO,OOO for main
tenance of the railroads, but republic
can senators, in filibuster tactics, kill
ed the proposition. AS the govern
ment railroad management declared
that the lines are elf-sustaining, the
action Of the republicans is worthy Of
commentator and will, in all prob
ability, mean the return of the roads
to private ownership and operation
within a short time. In connection
herewith it is we'll to state that rail
road companies have never asked con-
gressional appropriations for the pur-
pose Of operating their lines. Had
they so done congress would have
laughed at them and turned them down
cold. But now that the administration
has taken over the roads the aim
seems to be to bleed the people white.

According to London Daily Mail
dispatch well-defned plot is in the
course Of incubation in Germany to
restore the monarchy and that "Presi-
dent" Ebert is working hand in glove
with Hindenburg and the monarchical
faction. From its incipiency we have
contended that the so-calIed German
republic" was a mere camouflage put
over on the allies by adopts Of this art,
and if the London papers are correct
in their diagnosis our contention is
correct. Besides Hindenburg's great
army of three-quarters of million
men, the organization of which should
never have been permitted by the al
lies, large quantities of munitions are
stored in private homes, and it is be-
lieved that the revolutions and riots
throughout the country are part of
the program of the Kaiser adherents.
Hence, it is not unreasonable to be-
lieve that Germany is preparing for
an early coup d'etat.

The Indictment of Schafer and Wy
ant does not mean that any Of the
money appropriated will ever be re-
turned to the banks affected by the
frauds perpetrated. To what purpose
that 100000 which Schafer received
from the Mortgage Security company
has been applied will perhaps never
be known, but it is believed that he
has "cached" considerable portion
Of this enormous sum with the ex-
pectation Of living in luxury after his
dismissal from prison that is, if he
ever goes there. If convicted, he
should never be given an opportunity
to utilize the proceeds of his robbery
he should be sentenced to a term of
sufficient duration to insure his de-
mise in the penitentiary.
