HOPI INDIANS HOLD
SNAKE DANCE SOON

One of the most interesting and vi
vid of the Hopi Indian ceremonials
the Hopi Snake Dance, is scheduled
to take place between August Is and
rs on the Hopi reservation about go
miles north Of Winslow. The nearest
point in going to the reservation
which can be reached by rail is Win
slow. on the Santa Fe railroad. From
here arrangements may be made to
complete the 60-mile journey by auto
stage.
In five Hopi villages every year two
fraternities cooperate during August
in the presentation Of a nine days
ceremony. In even years( 1918-1920
etc. the Antelope and Snake fraterni-
ties combine and enact their rites in
the villages of Oraibi, Shumopovi and
Shipaulivi. In the villages Of Mish-
ongnovi and Walpi may be witnessed
the same year the combined ceremo-
MES Of the Blue and Drab Flute fra
ternities. In odd years Q919-1921
etc. in Oraibi, Shognopavi and Shi-
paulovi are held the Flute ceremonies,
and in Mishongnovi and Walpi the
Snake-Antelope ceremonies. AS the
final days performance do not coin

several of them.
In each of the five villages there
are two Flute organizations. one
known as the Oakwalenya, or Blue
Flute, the other as Macilenya. or Drab
Flute. The rites of these two socie-
ties have much in common.
The secret rites of these societies
are not held in kiva but in cham
Der of the house of leading member.
Here the altar is erected prayer off

THE WORST THINGS FIRST.

s In order to get by the day in the best possible frame of mind, cer- tain business man has said, the most disagreeable things should be done
 first. It's a good rule to follow,
 When you come down in the morn
 ing if you have anything unpleasant
 to do, and most of us have, do it
 first. Then the rest of the day will
 be easier for you. When you go
 home in the afternoon or evening
 have your quarrel with the wife, whip the kids and then the rest of
 the evening will be easy. The rule works both ways. The only fellow to which it doesn't apply is the man who delights in doing disagreeable things. For him it is hard sledding If he does all the disagreeable things he can think of before 10 o'clock i'll the morning, the rest of the day hangs heavy on his hands and he has difficulties in thinking up that he can perpetrate and make someone feel bad. There's an other rule that applies to him.

PAPER SHORTAGE

The question of shortage of print paper is something not generally un- derstood outside the rubi 'sning ard printing business. People wonder why there is a shortage ana why !h- creased production mas lot kept rac
 with increased consumption as n other lines. Here are some tf 1re elements of the problem. The manu- fracture of paper from wood fiber has developed within the last 50 years but with accelerated speed during the last decade. The use of news priGt alone has increased :lore than 200 per cent in 20 years, although the newspapers use but '.2 Ter cent of the total of wood pulp paper pro- duced. In six years the price has ad- varced nearly 300 per cent Ten year; ago the United States produced It's entire supply of pulp wood, ou: HOW it imports two-thirds of i,a ccnsuMp- tion. This means added cost ef pro- duction. We bought from Canada last year 100000 tons oi pulp, and

Canada has increase the number of her pulp mills y per cent in 10 years, while only one newsprint plant has been constructed in the United States since 1909. Pa per mills cannot follow the receding timber supply into the forests as do the saw mills. Much pulp wood is now freighted 500 miles.
 There is much criticism of news papers for waste of paper, but the above statistics show that it is not newspaper consumption, which is making the wood pulp supply made quate to the demand. The newspa- pers only consume 22 per cent. The newspaper publishers are themselves suffering from the high prices and the difficulty of keeping supplied with stock as result of the tre- tion in multitude of other forms than publishing papers Seventy eight per cent of all the paper is consumed in some other way. No possible economic restriction of fishers can put an end to either the oiiOA lcSS Ol tIlc HlS pliCSS, elSC Lucy would have been ended before now. The matter is deeper than that. The American forestry association sug- gests several remedies, such as the development of the pulp industry in the great forests of the northwest and Alaska, the promotion of refore- sation in cut-over areas, by perpe- tuating forest areas, and by more care in collecting and using old newspapers, magazines and paper scraps of all kinds in the making of new paper. The latter is an inn poltant contribution that could be made by every household and at profit. There is no reason why millions of dollars should go up in smoke every year through the burn ing of waste paper.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

NEWS-EAST AND WEST.

The news services, every agency
 by wire or by mail, attaches more
 importance, it seems, to something
 that gathers and distributes news
 that occurs in the east or the north,
 than it does to the happenings in the west and south.
 During the war we heard more of
 those national guard or national army divisions from the eastern and northern states than we did from those of the south or west. It, wasn't because the divisions from those sec tions were better divisions or did more fighting. They simply hap pened to be from. section of the country where the news agencies seem to think the country's chief i'm terest lies. This is just an exam pie. There are many others. Take for instance, the suffrage fight, Re- cent efforts to have the amendment ratified have been centered in Dela- ware and in Mississippi. Delaware is still on the fence. For weeks the Associated Press has carried to all points that it serves story-2OO words or more in the day and an equal number of words at night--on what the situation in Delaware hap pened to be. Mississippi took up the suffrage matter and decided it ad versely almost before anyone req lized that the Mississippi legislature was in session. Either Mississippi or Delaware would have insured the passage of the suffrage amendment. Yet because the men who prepare the news service attach more inn portance to eastern events than they do to southern events, the fight was over in Mississippi before anyone knew of it.
 Last week an internal revenue officer here, aided by deputies from the sheriff's office, arrested three men who had still in g taxicab. It was the first still-on- wheels turned up in the country. If it had hap pened in New Jersey or Illinois the wires would have carried mention of it. As it happened down south they ignored it. If hosiery model in New York city drinks too much wood alcohol and dies or goes crazy, the wires are flooded with long ar ticles about her, a description of the house where she was born and the story of her life. Yet down south or out west they could launch the big gest road improvement, irrigation or drainage project in the history of the world and the wires would ignore it.
 Of course, there's another side to it. While we regret that the events that mark out progress and inn provement are not widely advertis- ed, we can take comfort from the fact that our shortcomings are not widely advertised either. We would like to see stories of Arkansas and southern and southwestern progress carried in every paper in the land. We are not so eager to have the stories of our whiskey raids and murders carried in the same manner.
 And while the wires are glutted with eastern news of the right sort, 1 they also carry at length stories from the east of crime and shame.

AFTER DRAFT DODGERS
Lis, l. Being Made For Publication
 Later

Special Agent William P. Hazen of the department of justice in Hartford and his assistants have been investi- gating list of about 1,200 names of Connecticut men and are now con ducting a mail canvass to see if some of these men can be located and learn what their war record was.
 While this checking system IS going on the war department has made it possible for any man who may be charged with draft desertion and who wishes to avoid the humiliation of ar rest by police officials and removal to camp may voluntarily surrender at the nearest army camp post or station, in order that his case may be investi- gated and his status be definitely fix ed. The commanding officer of such camp will be allowed to use his own discretion as to whether such draft de- serter should be placed in confinement or merely retained within the limits of the reservation until his status has been determined. Any man who has his case finally disposed of prior to the time the consolidated list of draft deserters is to be published will have his name removed from the list.
 In the two years since the signing of the armistice there have been very few arrests in Connecticut on the charge of draft lodging and only one man brought to court. He claimed and had witnesses to prove he had registered, but he said he had never received questionnaire. The case was finally dropped.
