Government. Here is the way one of their own number expresses it. These are the words of William Mason, or Chief Taholah, which means Big Man." of the Quiniault tribe, which lives near Gray's Harbor, Washington. He says: The war has given the American Indian an opportunity to prove that he is as patriotic a citizen as his white brothers. I think no Americans have proved themselves more patriotic than the Indians"
 According to Cato Sells, CommIs- sioner of Indian affairs. the red man, "is a student of the rights of indi- viduals of nations and of international ethics:'' and he adds that the policy adopted in 1917, of giving control of their own affairs to as many of the Indians as possible has proved sue cessful and fully justified
 When it came to the call to help produce food the Indians did not need a second appeal. They responded in this, as. they did in other ways, loyally They pitched in and on their farnls ar,l in their gardens have been assist ing to fight the enemy Hunger. They knew what hunger meant. From tra- ditions passed down they had heard of some hard winters through which

you are aiding the enemy whether you mean to do so or not"
 Here is an individual instance of a Pima Indian. His living came largely from his little twelve acres of land; but he managed to make q profit of s2,OOO, from which he bought a, $500 Liberty Bond and some farm imple- ments and started on the building Of a comfortable home. He raised a lot of garden produce. including corn, beans, melons nd squash. He has a wife and two children. This case of thrift and patriotism among the In dians is not unusual It is a sample of the way in which they have dis carded the blanket and of how they are going in for present-day methods and American civilization
 Indian Fairs
 Some of the finest examples of work done by the Indians is shown at the fairs which are held on nearly every reservation. There are seen beautiful ly woven blankets, fine baskets, rugs and many other household utensils; and the displays include also some of the best products which they have raised on their farms or in their gar dens, and canned vegetables and fruits which the squaws have put up for winter use. Among Indian women who have been awarded national capitol prize certificates from the National War Garden Commission of Washing ton for their canned goods are Mrs. Nancy Wynecoop. of the Spokane In dian Agency, WelIptnit, Washington; Mrs. Isabella St. Jermain. whose son, Is in the navy, of the Lac du Flambeau Agency, Wisconsin; Mrs. Julia R. Spears, of the Red Lake Indian Agency, Red Lake. Minnesota; Lillian Shaw, of the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, Nixon, Nevada; Mrs. Leo Degarde, of the Fort Totten Indian School. Fort Totten, North Dakota Mrs. Leona Chandler, of the Sac and Fox Indian School Stroud, Oklahoma; Josephine Cobe. of the Red Cliff In dian Agency, Bayfeld, Wisconsin; Lizzie Gurnoe, of the same agency;

and Mrs. AIexa nder Young, of the TuIalip Indian Agency, Tulalip, Wash ington.
 In reporting on the remarkable fair which they held on the Tulalip Agency. Charles M. Buchanan. super tntendent, in his letter to the National War Garden Commission said that some of the exhibits were really wonderful. The fair is held on a tract of ground set aside for the purpose, with rnis- cellaneous exhibits housed in @ large building built in primitive Indian style with great massive beams and carved supporting posts. The food display in it's quality and the variety of prod ucts was a great attraction, and great interest is being taken by. the Indians there, he reports, in gardens and food production. The canned goods, he says, made a most tempting display, espe- ciaIly noticeable because of the gen. eraIIy high degree of excellence There were numerous entries in each of the classes of canned fruits and vegetables and all were of unusually high quality, surpassing anything Of the kind ever seen at any previous fair at Fulahp. The blue ribbon was won by Mrs. Alex ander Young.
 Generous And Sociable
 The Indian is a generous and soci- able person, says J. H. Sharp, we'll known Indian painter. Indians were never known to turn away from their tent.'' he declares. ''any man who asked for something to eat. Nor would they make any effort to lock up their ho-as when they left them to make q visit A stick or brush would be placed across the tent door flaps as an indication that the owner was away, and no Indian passing would think of intruding" MT. Sharp has passed much time among the Taos 1rS5SsAa in New Mexico and the Crows in Mon tana.
 Among the Havasupai Indians. known as the Lost Indian Tribe" the practice of drying food and storing it for winter use is well-known and prac- ticed. They dwell in Northwestern Arizona off the Grand Canyon. have seen few white men and more than 100 miles of waterless desert separates them from the nearest trading post.
 So, after all it seems that all the good Indians are not dead Indians.

could be seen running over the hill top casting away their rifles, knap- sa cks, anteens-sacrihcing everything for speed" And these Indians were the owners of many square miles of the richest oil and mineral lands in Oklahoma, and back home their royal ties were piling up for the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
 They were in the army, in the navy, in the marine corps. Fourteen tribes of Indians were represented in the army alone. They ranked all the way from colone1s to privates. Colonel Henry c. SnItthev, a West Point grad uate, was with the signal corps. "Pershing's Indian Scouts" an organ ization of highly trained Apaches and Sioux who had been with him in Mex leo. went along to France and distin- guished themselves. Among the 161 men who had come from Carlisle, the famous Indian school, were Lieuten- ants Benedict Cloud, Long Lance and Gustavus WeIch. Then there was Pete Carlow, @ proud possession of the Marines. A service flag with 150 stars hangs from Haskell Institute, the In dian school at Lawrence, Kansas A school at Phoenix, Arizona, sent 63 volunteers and raised $27,000 in Lib erty Bonds and S1,263. in war saving stamps.
 An editorial entitled, Are You Loyal" in the Flathead Indian Prog ress, shows the way in which they helped to build up the spirit of patriot ism and how they stood back of the United States. "A loyal person." says the editorial. 'tis one who Is true and faithfIS2 to proper authority. not only by the words of his mouth but by his actions also. The Government needs sLe help of every ablebodied person. If you are an idler or a Ioafer, spend ing your time in useless ways, you are not loyal. Soldiers must have food Farmer need hands. Farm CTS cannot produce food unless they have help. If you are not working at some other useful occupation you should be help ing a farmer. If you can't fight, you can work. If you do not do either.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-03-07

their tribe or various other tribes had passed, and of how famine at one time or another had decimated portions of their race. They knew what food rais- ing and food saving meant. But it is not from selfish motives, not merely from thoughts of self that the Indians to-day are helping Uncle Sam to pro- duce the food which this nation needs for. it's own people and for the starv- ing nations abroad. They are raising food out of a patriotic impulse. They are doing it because they believe in America. because they are lovers of their feIlowmen and because they want to help others.
 Good Fighters
 The Indian proved himself a brave fighter in the great war and he per formed deeds of heroism, sometimes picturesque in the way in which he reverted to type, of which America may well be proud. When Big Bear ] Rainbow Blanket and Bacon Rtnd and some of the other braves" got after the PIussian Guards in the hills of Champa gne, it furnished genuine surprise for the latter; and according to the report, '.it happened that to- ward the end of the fighting the Huns
