sioux INDIAN
ANELECTOR
SOUTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS
SELECT PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTOR.

Cheyenne River Agency, Dec. 20.
Henry w. Fielder, chosen by the
republicans of South Dakota in con-
vention at Pierre recently as candi-
date for presidential elector, is half
blood Sioux Indian, yet one of the
best posted men in South Dakota on
affairs of state and nation.
Mr.. Fielder's father, William
Fielder, was one of the pioneers of
South Dakota. He was with the
Sioux Indians from 1868 until his
death in 1898, as scout and inter-
prefer. He was close personal
friend of "Buffala Bill" Cody. Mr.
Fielder's mother was a full blooded
Sioux, belonging in the Suns Are
band, and was a cousin of Spotted
Tail, the Sioux Chief of Rosebud res
ervation.
Mr.. Fielder was born in 1876.
After attending the government
school he went to Hampton institute,
Virginia, graduating in 1899. He
then entered the government service
and taught seven years. In 1908 he
was appointed to appraise and classi-
fly the Sioux reservation which was
opened for settlement in 1909. At
present he is the official interpreter
in the federal court for the district
of South Dakota. He lives on his
cattle ranch on the Missouri river,
near the mouth of the Moreau river.
Just now he is acting principal of the
government boarding school here.
He has great faith in the young Sioux
Indians and believes they will make
good as law abiding citizens, point
ing to the fact that they have good
records as American soldiers. Mr..
Fielder had son in active service in
France. He returned unharmed, and
is now attending school in Sioux
Falls.

Parsons, of Minneapolis, an organi-
Ger of the World War Veterans. !"
in public address tried to discredit
the American legion by saying it was
political machine and that most of
its financial support is received from
mythical source which he called
big business" Chaplain Guy p.
Squires, one of the foremost legion
members took the floor and refuted
his allegations. 9G
Parsons statement that soldiers
are rapidly leaving the legion be-
cause they saw violence and control
by officers" was denied by Squires
who showed by figures that a tre-
menduous increase in membership Of
the legion has been made. Parsons
was also grieved because the Amer
lean legion had taken a stand against
the /. w. w. and said the legion has
taken the law into its own hands and
is seeking to prevent free speech and
free press. @
His attitude throughout was
wholly in sympathy with the radical
elements opposed by service men, IL
is said. This attitude was also con-
Cured in by Thos. L. Arnold, secre-
tary of the Non-Partisan league when
Parsons spoke at the leagues pro-
posal meeting earlier in the day
Parsons claims to be connected with
a new non-partisan league newspap-
er now being formed in the Twin

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Many thrift kitchens organized dur
ing wal times to help war conditions
have proved so valuable that their
continued existence now seems as
sured. Thrift In the home Is taught
under the direction of the home dem
onstration agents of the department
of agriculture and the state colleges In
the Salvage shops,' as the kitchens
are sometimes called. These kitchens
were originally established to teach
people thrift In using their own ma
terial. II soon developed, however.
that many who wished to be thrifty
had little to be thrifty with. This led
to the kitchens being used rs clear
ing houses for material stlll possessing
much wear discarded In the homes Of
the well-to-do and much needed where
our are more limited.
In the Bourbon county (Kansas)
thrift kitchen this work has been es-
peclally successful. The kitchen is
open from nine until five. and the
home demonstration agent or the WIS.,
iting nurse plans to be there during
those hours. To prevent any posi-
bility Of contagious diseases being dis

fumigated or sterilized before being
given out or remade. II solled gar
ments are received they are laun-
dered by needy women. who, by giving
their work. feel they are thus paying
for the assistance they may have re-
ceived.
When It is practicable those who
have been helped are urged to come
TO the kitchen to sew, mend or do
| other work In return for gifts OF clo-
thing. BY this method %pauperism Is
| discouraged and the women have an
opportunity to profit by the instruc'
ton given In garment making and re-
modelling under experts in charge OF
the work. Many volunteer workers
help in this work. and the plan fol-
lowed has been for the volunteers TO
work every afternoon except Saturday
and have the other workers come fore
Moons and Saturdays.
In one month In the Fort Scott
(Kan.) kitchen 619 garments were
given out which did not need remodel
ing and 80 others. either new or en-
tlrely made over from old garments.

British demanded a discussion OF the

boundary, a discussion OF the right OF

erection Of an Indian buffer state out

The Americans replied that they

had very full instructions; also with

There are many curious facts about
our second war with England, among
which may be mentioned that the
greatest battle of the war was fought
after the treaty of peace had been
signed and that negotiations for peace
began at about the same time as the
declaration of a The United
States declared war on Great Britain

the British ambassador. Both MIR.
Adams and the British ambassador re-

1t is rather remarkable that the car
should have interested himself so
much, for in the great struggle of the
Napoleonic wars the United States
had been treated by Europe as a
negligible quantity, and her neutral

twelve years and her protests were
d~isregarded as petty annoyance
