The American
Model
Chocsaw Indian Chosen by French
Sculptor fo. Statue Of
"American Fighting Man"

A Choctaw Indian, Otis w. Leader
of Oklahoma, has been chosen by an
eminent French sculptor as model for
his statue of "the American fighting
man." A brief resume of Leaders
service in France amply warrants his
designation as "first-class fighting
man" and his unmixed American blood
justifies his selection as typical
American.
There can be no question of Amer
ica's pride in her aborigines, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Indian,
who was cordially hated by the pi-
oneers and shamefully despoiled and
exploited by the successors of the pi-
oneers, has become In the present gen.
GRAFTON a popular. honored and justly
respected citizen. He has proved his
merit. Since the white man has ceased
to accelerate his deterioration the In
dian has ceased to be a vanishing
race" He has become an assertive
citizen, standing on his own feet and
making his own way. And when
there was war the Indian Of today
fought with all the courage and grim
determination Of his painted ancestors.
The French sculptor made wise
choice when he selected Private Lead
er as his type specimen Of the Amer
lean soldier. 1t is fitting tribute to
the red Americans who fought so vail
anly for white civilization and no
white American will begrudge the
honor.

Several cases of poisoning, from

1t is not generally known that the
green parts Of potatoes contain n
poison called solanin. O.2 grammes Of
which is sufficient to produce bad re-

SUPERIOR HINTS THAT
REDUCE LAUNDRY WORK

Sit erect. Have tubs and iron
ing board at comfortable heights.
Use portable tubs. Fill
through piece of hose at
tached to the faucet or pump.
Empty through hole cut in bot
tom or in side near bottom.
Use n washing machine, If
possible. 1t saves rubbing. A
good hand machine may be OBJ
tanned at small cost,
Use smooth, well-made wash
board. A Jagged washboard
tears the clothes.
Use wringer. 1t presses out
the water without straining the
fibers.
Have clean, well-kept irons. A
smooth clean iron makes for
good results.
Wash clothes frequently and
before they become too soiled.
1t saves your strength and the
clothes.
Save ironing by choosing SIM
pie clothing and linen. Many
articles, including crepe. seer
sucker, and knitted garments,
may be pulled into shape instead
of being irOned.

wringer with very loose rollers.
In hanging and drying have the
clothespins and line clean. Put SINH
lar clothes together and hang all
clothes wrong side out. Hang gar

white cotton and linen clothes in the
sun, because sunlight whitens them
Colored and woolen materials should
be dried in the shade. Lay knitted and
crocheted articles fiat and dry them
indoors. White silks should be rolled
in heavy cloth and let stand at least
one-half hour before ironing.
Much of the drudgery is taken out
of the ironing of white cotton and lin
en- materials If the clothes are evenly
dampened and the irons are clean and
hot. Iron with the thread of the goods,
preferably with the lengthwise threads,
until thoroughly dry. Iron as large
space at one time as possible and
iron first the parts which hang off the
board when finished, and which would
dry out quickly.
For silks. wOolens. and cOlored ma
terials medium hot iron is best. Iron

with damp cheese cloth and ironed
or pressed on the right side with hot
iron.
Special Points to Remember.
Remember that strong soap hardens

materials. Rubbing wears all fabrics.

Sank Centre is to have farmers,

Ihls plan of operation was de-
clded upon at a meeting of repre-
sentative farmers of Sank Centre
and vicinity at meeting held at the
commercial Club rooms last Satur-
day night. -,
J. c. Tyler, a member of the
Equity Exchange at ST. Paul, was in
attendance at the meeting Saturday.
and addressed the gathering. ex-
planned to the farmers, the general
plan under whict the Equity business
is conducted in Minnesota, and urged
ne farmers to become members of
this organization as the only solu-s
ton Of cooperative marketing that
directly benefits the farmer.
PERMISSION to erect or purchase an
elevator in Sank Centre for EQUITY
purposes, was received Saturday by
local organizers from Equity head
quarters. 1t was decided to COM
plete the organization of an Equity
society here and to either build or
buy an elevator in this city. fesslS
1t is very probable that one of the
two local elevators will be purchased
by the society, and to bring about
tins plan, stock in the Equity is be-
ing sold in Sank Centre and vicinity.
Mr.. Tyler, in urging the farmers
to become part of the Equity in
Minnesota, told of plan now going
on to secure rates whereby ship
ments of grain can be made west
ward in the future by way of the
Pacific coast and the Panama Canal.
Tyler made claim that the farmer,
because of the middleman, was today
receiving $1.00 less per bushel for
his grain than he was entitled
to, and urged cooperative marketing
as solution to the producer to con-
sumner plan.
There was tendency among a
few of the farmers in this vicinity to
favor local cooperative elevator
rather than one owned and operated
under the Equity plan, but in view
of the vast resources of the Equity,
and the general cooperation attain
ed by the society in the state, the
Equity plan was decided upon as the
most practical. as;
1t is generally agreed that the ex-.
pense of organizing and maintains
ing an elevator here will be about
$50, 900, and stock to this amount, J.
is now being sold.
