"Where there are reservations,
fine homes and cultivated fields

hunting grounds of 40 years ago.
1.-The results of years of teach
ing the rudiments of health and
sanitation are shown by the Indian
census which reveals the Indians,
disappearing rapidly in the
nineties, an increasing race.

A few. months ago Mr.. II. B.
PEARS, superintendent at Haskell
Intittute, wished to know some
thing more definite about the
work of Haskell graduates. A
questionable was prepared in
Guiding these subjects:
''Wbat number are self support.

by what activities are they
self-supporting?
''What is their standing in the
community in which they live
good, fair or poor?
"How many Of each?
"How many are regarded as
successful? AS total failures!
''How many have received no
benefit from their training?
OF the less than 400 graduates
concerning whom the questions
were asked and the records
checked, virtually all we're self
supporting except in cases Of
physical disability. Reports show
345 were considered successful and
only three as total failures. All,
with the exception of four gradu.
ates, had good or fair standing
in their own communities. OF
that number all but 80 were
scored as good, the standing of
only four Oeln& poor.
In discussing the progress being
made by the Indians and the part
they played il the recent World
War, Mr.. Peairs said: Il believe
as result of the war, when the
flower of the Indian manhood
marched shoulder to shoulder and
fought side b. side with. the other
races that make up the nation,
Congress will soon provide for
the greatest event in Indian bis
tory. l believe every Indian will
soon be. given full citizenship
citizenship has long been the
right Of the Indian, in my jodg-
ment, but has been denied him.
Because of the showing made |
tbis.k it will soon be bestowed"

garding the issuing of rations to

To whom this may concern:-
Rations are not to be issued at

his matter in favor of>the Indians
who were in the Old Folks Home
when it was closed last Juoe and
in favor of a few persons who
take care of such former inmates
of the Old Folks Home.
All persons to whom land has
been allotted on the White Earth
Indian Reservation are citizens.
They are subject to the laws, both
civil and criminal, of the State of
Minnesota and they are entitled to
all of the benefits given to citizens
by the State. In other words
their status as citizens, is just the
same as that Of white people,
In view of what is stated
above it follows that rations cannot
be given, by u.s., to very many
people. Citiztn Indians who are
destitute and need help, if there
be any such, should apply 20 the
local authorities in the countless in

 Well, Chief, here I am again haveing to explain to you and your anxious readers why it is We are late again this wk. in getting out the Cameis Back, and the way MT. Spear spoke to me this P NJ. guess we're lucky if we get the thing across this wk. at all, but it wasn't my intentions to scare you to death and so will pass that over with out further ado. And so far as 1t con- cerns me this a. m. after haveing knocked about this town and rambled over these outlying elysian fields with my lying towns folks and a buncha suckers from Chicago. I really don't care if we never get the ole camel loaded and on his way That's how l feel about it, at the present minute, but of course that devil may care spirit may wear off any moment
 And if those birds from the Windy City. as it is sometimes called in a spirit Of pure comaradery, thought that theirs was the only windy city in the U. s. A. they musta changed their minds after they heard us talk all day.

 But in order that you can get a slight idear of why 1t is the Hump is late this wk., I will now try to give you a picturesque description Of the deviltry that went on throughout the day in and around the village. In or der to add to the vividness of my ex pose, I shall state early at the outset the personal of our party. There was our two Chicago guests whom we shall disguise as The Prey. Then there was six or eight Phoenixians in our car, and while I don't recall the names of all Of them I can absolutely state that there was Mir. Loper, whose only fault is his disposition toward always indulg ing in light hearted pleaSantreeS and not taking the world too serious. Then there was Hon. Joe A. R. Irvine, bat ting for the City of Phoenix, and then Mac Mcclellan, representing the To- cal undertakers' union, and myself, rep resenting the freedom of the press. You must bear in mind, Chief, that all through the thrilling episodes of this account that we are in Mir.

 We Are Off!
 A rather funny incident happened after we had barely got started and hit the pike toward Tempe and the road was sliding under our car like water falling off cliff. when one of the Prey shouts in my ear, What business did you say driver was in? And I shouted back, Hes an undertaken" Both Preys turned white, and swal- lowed hard. much to my plea sure, as I added another hot shot, And this is an awful healthy climate" 'I thought so,' he gasped with d side glance at the speed meter.
