COMMENTARY ON WHITE RULE
Indians Have FIourished Only Where
tho White Man Did Not Want
Their Lands.

In only two parts Of all America are
the Indians as numerous today as when
the white men came-in Canada, north
Of the Saskatchewan. where the popu-
lation is actually increasing; south of
the Rio Grande, In Yaqui land, where
whip and sword and rifle have failed
to conquer what should have been
pacified. In northern Canada the fur
hunting Indians have proSpered in
peace for two reasons. The white men
did not take their lands. They did
not want them. The land Of the Far
North was only good for furs and so
the second reason, or from purely
selfish motive to increase the output
of furs, the Indians have been treated
with absolute justice IL with absolute
despOtisIn. The safety Of the lone
traders life depended on absolute jus.
tice; and, oddly enough, the only Mexi.
can who has ever succeeded in contrOll-
Ing the Yaquis has controlled them In
the same way, by leaving to them their
lands and by absolute, If at times des-
potic, justice.-Detroit Free-Press.

A Foreign Ship.

Homer L. Ferguson. president Of the
chamber Of commerce of the United
States has stirred up the patriots over
the reproduction of IA foreign ship be-
Ing on our twenty-dollar bills. Making
speech recently, and seeking to i'm
press his auditors with the fact that
this country has entirely too few ships.
he whipped out a twenty-dollar bill
and declared:
"Why, even the ship reproduced on
this bill Is one that was taken over
by this country during the war. It
flies the American flag. all right, but
1t is foreign-built ship"
Examination proved he was abso-
lutely correct. The ship has four fun
nels, and there never has been four
funneled ship built in this country for
our foreign trade.

The UpIjft.

A senator, apropos Of the huge guam
tity Of army meat which it was pro-
posed should be sold to the packers
for less than half the price paid them
by the government, said:
"Why sell this meat to the packers2
Would it not be better to sell 1t to
consumers direct and thus aid in re-
ducing the cost OF livng?'
The senator added bitterly:
"The high cost Of living! We heard
n lot about the upllft movement to
be expected as the result Of the war,
but we didn't expect the uplift to be
concentrated on prices"

Everybody knows the story about

going to have?" And then, as the

added. Rain or Shine?"
Representative Gordon Lee Of Chick
amauga told story of similar kind
about mean man at Atlantic City.
Some friends visited him on q hot eve
ming and after they had sweltered q
while in the sitting room he said:
"'Well. friends, could you stand
some refreshments?

lips in pleasant anticipation.

SEEMINGLY NO AGE LIMIT

There is no age limit to divorce. In
Oregon woman at the age Of eighty
two years is suing for decree from
her husband. who Is n callOw stripping

to be another case of too much mother
fn-law. as the wife asserts that her
husbands love has been alienatcd and
undermined through the work of his
mother, who is now ninety-four years
old and who never did like her, any
how. They have been married some
ten years now, and the wife said that
when the husband took her money to
buy an auto for his mother and
wouldn't let his wife ride In 1t, she
knew that his love was dead. When

courts. 1t is rather rough when 8

German Crippies Employed.

According to the American Journal
for Cripples. published in this city,
Germany issued peremptory order in
January requiring the employment of
her disabled soldiers. All public and
private industries, offices and admins
trations are directed to employ at least
one disabled soldier for every 100 per-
sons on the working staff. making no
distinction of sex, it is stated.
In agricultural work the proportion
must be one disabled soldier to every
so employees. and in all cases the
disabled cannot be discharged except
with the consent Of the workmen's
committee and after receiving IA days
notice. Private employers who disre-
gard the order are liable to a fine Of
not more than 10000 marks.

what might have been a town will be-
come farm land.
The story OF Emerson suggests what
came near happening to Connecticut
town In the beginnings Of the colony.
Those interested in it showed rare
sense in their choice of a site, and in
their dreams planned not for town
but for city. Hampden and Crom-
well were to be among its citizens; the
cream of England, so Its promoters
hoped, were to become its citizens.
Fate ordered otherwise. and the early
days of this dream town are remem-
bered now largely through Lion Gardi-
ner's account Of his struggle to hold
the site against the attacks of the In
dians.
Other states. notably the mining
commemorative Of the West can du-
pltcate the story from Oklahoma, but
few can equal the romance Of the Con-
necticut settlement.

During the influenza epidemic Of last

FIND MANY USES FOR PEAT
Wartorn industry Gives Promise Of
Great Development In tho
i Years to Come.

The output Of peat In the United
States last year far exceeded that of
any preceding year and the general
increase. which was stimulated by the
war. was shared by practically oil
branches OF the industry. Though ex-.
tensively used as fuel In Europe and
widely known in the United States as
a potential source of heat and power,
peat has been unable to compete with
coal and many peat operators have d.
rected their attention to the utilization
OF peat in agriculture with gratifying
results.
Peat fertilizer was first marketed in
commercial quantities in 1908. and
stock-food peat in 1912. and though
there is still some prejudice against its
use the agricultural branch of the in
dustry has been successful and the
quantity Of fertilizer and stock-f food
peat annually produced is increasing.
Large quantities of these products
were made last year, but the most
striking development was the produc-
ton Of more peat in the New England
States than has been manufactured in
the entire United States in all preced-
ing years. Almost equally striking
was the widespread interest manifest
cd In peat resources which had been
generally regarded as of doubtful
value.
Large quantities Of peat or Sphag-
mum moss were produced and utilized
for stable litter, packing material. and
surgical dressing, and several hun
dred thousand acres of peat soils were
used for the growth of crops. The
peat litter was produced by the own
ers Of small hogs for their own use.
but the packing material was sold
to florists for $25 a ton. According
to J. w. Hotson of the Red Cross
more than half million peat pads
were prepared in this country for that
organization. Most Of the moss was
gathered by volunteers from bogs in
Washington. Oregon and Maine, and
the pads were used in military hos
pitfalls at home and abroad.

 And just wait until you see little Miss Clark as "Lovey Mary she is just the very cutest, ouaintest. dar- lingest little thing you ever beheld and her impersonation of Mrs. Rice's inim- itable character adds a captivating chapter to the story of her brilliant achievements.
 You recall. of course. what sort of a "tomboy" girl 'Lovey Mary was lD the book. and how we first found hel at the "Brofield orphanage." Well, just so we find her in the screen story; she is beloved by all the boys and girls of the institution because she mothers them and fights the monitors in their behalf She has a battle with one of these one day and emerges victorious from the conflict. After q lapse of several years, Mary herself be- comes a monitor and soon thereafter little Tommy, the child of Maggie Dun- can, 8 former monitor of the institu- ton who is now circus woman, ;s brought to the orphanage and Mary ig made custodian of the infant.
 The little fellow burrows his way into Mary's heart so that when Maggie sends word that she is coming to take Tommy away, she flees with the child in rainstorm. They meet Dick Nor gan, the nephew of 'Phroney Morgan, a wealthy philanthropist whose pet hobby is the Cabbage Patch He takes Mary and Tommy to Mrs. Morgan $ home and when he announces that he purposes to return both of them ;1 the orphanage, Mary escapes with Tommy to the Cabbage Patch Here she meets Billy Wiggs, one of the

finally is married to Dick. Billy Wiggs gets a job as assistant foreman in a factory and his love affair with Mary finally prospers.
 When Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" was published some 15 years ago. the beauty of the story created a profound impression. It speedily as- serted it's superiority and is today looked upon as one of the best sellers in the literary world.
 The book subsequently was dranla- tized by Ann Crawford Flexner. the well known dramatist and novelist, and it was presented with great suc- cess at the Savoy theatre in New York on September 3, 1904, with Madge Carr Cook in the role of Mrs. Wiggs and Mable Tariaferro as Lovey Mary.
 Supporting Marguerite Clark in the screen version is a capable company of well known and popular movie" actors. among whom may be mentioned Gareth Hughes as Billy Wiggs," who does a fine bit of character" work. Mary Carr as Mrs. Wiggs"-excelient in the part-while Vivian ogden as Miss Hazy" is simply wonderful; little Lawrence Johnson as Tommy is sim ply irresistible; indeed, the entire east is excellent.
 Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" is a screen classic and little Margue- rite Clark has added new laurels to her crown in the splendid impersona- tion she gives of 'Lovey Mary"
