THE INDIAN PROBLEM

N three years nearly l,2O0 h. dians have given their allotments of lands free from government con trol. Out of about 85,000 children of school age some 60,000 are in regular attendance at school, it is stated. During the late war liberty bonds were bought by Indians to the amount of $25, 100000. The earnings of Indians amounted to $13,000, 1000. The Indians now num- Der a third of a million, and of these nearly 232,000 are classed as full bloods. Their patriotism, pro- gress in education and agriculture and their capacity to carry on busi- ness are cited by the Indian office as evidence that the Indian prob lem of a century and more is ap- preaching a solution.

SPEcTAcLED COWS

What would you think to see a COW wearing spectacles? In Russia whole herds of cows are seen wear ing them. The Russian plains are covered with snow for six months but when the new grass appears under the snow the cows are turn ed out to feed. Without these glasses of leather and smoked glass they would often die of snow blind ness.

BoIshevism, in whatever form 1t appears, is the work of the devil, who is apparently more active than ever before in human history. It veins itself through unjustified strikes, through Bolshevistic leaders in labor unions and in financial circles alike, for no one need inn agine that the spirit of Bolshevism is not regnant in millions of hu- man hearts, whether they beat be- meath tattered garments or silks and satins or in the unclothed fact urer's Record.

CAMOUFLACED MILK

Cows are none too numerous in Japan, and the people make 'cam- ouflaged" milk from the soy bean. A lot of beans are soaked and then boiled until the liquid is white. Su- gar and phosphate of potash is put into this liquid and the boiling goes on again until the mess is of the consistency of condensed milk of our own country.

That is the next question Of i'm

says, however, that the general under

should be obtained.
