Suggests Name of Amerind For The
 American Indian
By HARRY WARD.,

Washington, Dec. 2S-Amerind That is the new name that has been suggested as the official designation of tEhe original inhabitants of this country, the word being composed of the first sylIables of American In dian" The word was first suggested in 1889 by an American lexicog-
 So Lat Dowanee, a Mohawk of the St Regis reservation in New York and Carrie F. Meigs-Adams (Ose Lin Gua), a Cherokee, whose native name means Always Shilling are spon- name to an old race.
 So Lat Dowanee, appreciating the error Christopher Co1mbus made in applying the title under which the race is now known, is making an ef- fort to accomplish the adoption Of this name. '.Amerind' is grammar ically adaptable to the scientific ar gument of the subject pertaining to He states that 6, bill will soon be in- troduced in Congress for the adoption of the new name.
 The Mohawk has just returned to Washington after a trip to the various reservations, obtaining his brethren s views on the subject, and was inn pressed with the great need of it's immediate official adoption. He will petition the President of the United States to concur in the proposed leg iSlation.
 ''It was never more noticeable than during the alte war the absolute need Of this Government to correct this mistake said So Lat Dowanee While the 'Amerind' members of the A .E. r. were in England the press and public. in order to give expres- sion to Their admiration of the fight ing qualities of the 'Amerinds,' were forced to use Red Indian for want of a better or proper name to dis tinguish them from the Hindu, or East Indian, though they were in no way similar
 So Lat Dowanee will send his mes sage through the wampum and Cher okee and Mohawk printed language He las already sent his wampun m essage through the runners of the wampun keepers to the six nations and to Mrs. Woorow Wilson, who, he claims, is enc of the "Amerinds.'

WOOD SCHOOL NOTES.

We hope soon to have Old Glory
waving above the school house. We
stand for patriotism.
The pupils in the principals room
were given a treat last Thursday and
Friday in the form Of a monthly ex-
animation.
We are badly in need Of a reference
library and other equipment. Week
pect soon to put on a campaign to
raise some necessary funds.
Both pupils and principal have been
greatly handicapped by lack Of neces-
sary text books for the upper grades.
Books were ordered through the Au-
ditor's Office eight weeks ago and up
date onIy part Of them have been re-
ceived.
We were very well pleased by the
interest displayed 10y townspeople in
organizing a literary society. We be-
lieve il will be the means OF spending
many pleasant and instructive even
ings together and will greatly stimu-
late the community social spirit.
We have been thinking that a real
school bell would be a mighty good
Investment. 1t lends a certain dignity
to "A school besides warning the tardy
urchin that he must hasten on his
way. In our estimation, every school
and especially a village school, should
be equipped with this silver tongued
orator who uncompromisingly stands
for regularity and promptness to duty
Owing TO the fact than the propo-
sition Of building barns on the school
grounds was not put to a vote at the
regular school election, the board are
pOwerless to build barns this year.
We certainly hope the parents Of
children riding horses to school may
be able to put up some sort OF shelter
before severe weather sets in. No
doubt the lumber could be disposed
OF next summer TO the District or
private individuals.
Has it ever occurred to the reader
of these notes, that we have an ever
increasing problem in this community?
Do you realize that there are a great
many children in and about Wood who
will probably never have the OppCr-
tunity CT getting a good practical edu
cation unless ne supply such an op-
portunity at homer What is better
worth striving for than a really good
school? What will come nearer put
ting Wood on the mapY What will

corners than a modern "up to the
minute" institution Of learning:

A LETTER FROM THAYERS.

The following letter from Mr.. and
Mrs. A. {. Thayer former Mellette
county homesteaders addressed e
Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson. may be OF
interest to some of our readers:
Sacaton. Arizona, October 81, 1920
Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson:
After a very interesting journey
through oil fields, mining districts,
lumber camps, etc, we reached the
land of cotton fields and palm trees.
With the exception OF a few blowouts
we had no car trouble to speak Of and
the weather was fine all the way down
We were a little uneasy one morning
up in the mountains as there was a
little snow in the air, but the clouds
soon passed over and the next day we
were down to the cotton fields. Found
the roads in some places very stony
and rough. One sometimes wonders
how lie got over a stony stretch Of
road with the tires left on the car.
We came through the petrified forest
where large logs and stumps laying
on all sides were turned to stone.
l have a school Of go pupils and
have 10 or 20 employees working under
me-. We have very nice apartments
Of five rooms besides three very nice
screened porchen. One porch Is 8x20
feet fitted up for sleeping porch. We
have a nice bath room, running water
In the house, and electric lights, cleo
trio fans, electric iron, etc. Have a
nice large brick garage with concrete
floor and pit under car so one can
work under car easily. The garage
Is also electric lighted. Mrs. Thayer
has bought some chickens so l expect
we will Don have our own eggs. We
had a hard rain a few days after we
arrived here and another rain last
night. They had a lot Of snow up at
Flagstaff and Williams, towns we
passed through on our way down and
we are sure thankful that snow didn't
catch us while we were on our way.
The price Of sugar and cotton has
taken a drop which hits some Of the
cotton planters Of Arizona and some
OF the sugar beet planters OF Colorado
pretty hard. We find that we are not
exactly strangers here for we find
that some people W. know and others
that have lived In South Dakota and
know the same people that we know.
The Superintendent here same from
Et. Thompson, the Chief Clerk used
to live at Rosebud; and a doctor who
l knew at FIT, Thompson, South Da.
kota Is practicing at Phoenix and
stopped to call on me one evening
soon after / got here. The people
here treat us very nice and l think
we will like 1t very we'll II the heat OF
summer isn't too much for us.
Remember us to all our friends at
Wood and write rs all about your
selves. Was sorry not to have seen
Mrs. Richardson while at Wood, but
l had just about time to get to the
homestead before dark after attend.
ing to the necessary business which
took me to Wood. Regards to all,
Mr.. and MRS. g. A. THAYER.
