people in a Home" or institution
of some kind where they could be
properly cared for. But such a
procedure would not be in keeping
with Indian Bureau eth ics. When
the large annual appropriation
from Chippewa tribal funds was
cut down last winter from 1886, 900
to SIS, 900 the Indian Bureau, to
curtail expenses, proceeded to
eliminate everything that was in
any way beneficial to the Chip
pewa people, but did not eliminate
any of the clerical or other posi-
tions here at this agency nor the
comforts, luxuries, etc. which go
with said positions, number of
which are purely sinicure. If
these positions were done away
with and the MONEY that is now
being paid in fat salaries to- the
persons holding them, and in
furnishing the perquisits which go
with sucn, was used to care for
aged, sick and needy of the tribe,
such pitiful Incidents as that re-
lated above would never occur.
AS member of the Minnesota
Chippewa Indians, these two old
and helpless people, are proper
tionateIy interested, in share and
share alike basis, in tribal fund
which amounts to some So, 600, 900,
which is deposited to the credit of
tile said Chippewas in the United
States Treasury. And there was
appropriated in dian~bill H. r.
1865. some $443,125.00 for
''relief of needy and destitute In
dians," for fiscal year ending June
Both, 1921. And in spite of this
fact here are old, sick and helpless
Indians .dying of foul neglect;
dying of neglect while those who
are directly responsible for their
':relief" revel in the comfort and
luxury of modern home surround

exacted from the tribal funds of
the Chippewas, 80 per cent OF
whom are citizen" Chippewas at
that. Such glaring examples OF
ineficiency by officials of the In
dian Bureau should find no coun:
tenance under democratic forms Of
government and such foul neglect
as is responsible for the tragic
death of o be-zhaun might we'll be

First in 40 Years.

There will be five Sundays in
February. February will again have
five Sundays in 194S.
For the first time in forty years
there will be five Sundays in Feb
ruary. Ordinarily the sequence Of
five Sundays in February recurs
but owing to the fact that 1900 was
not a leap year, the calendar slip
ped cog" and Sunday being shunt-
ed out Of place in numerical order, it
did not get back into position to be
come the first and last day OF the
month from 1880 until this year.
The year 1900 was not leap year.
Those who invented our present sys,,
TEN of computing time discovered
that adding one day in every four
years was a fraction too much, so
the plan was hit upon to make CEN
fury years Invisible by 400 leap
yesars. This it was found, evened
things up nicely and prevented Jan
uary from eventually becoming a
midsummer month, as might nave
been the case some time in the next
fifty thousand years had this not
been done.
The first time in the last century
that February had five Sundays was
in 1924. 1t happened again in 1852
and again in 1880, each period
twenty-eight years apart. After
this year the sequence will recur IN
1913, 1875, 2O34. 1902. 209O and
then since 21OO will not be leap
year, it will skip to 213O.

Testing Out.

In these Saharan days wood
alcohol is at it's worst. 1t is doing
its best to make business for the
florist. An ounce or two of that
stuff will make man see four-tailed
green elephants.
And so deadly-in-earnest and the
comic jester have come to the front
with tests for the stuff. One man
advises carrying around a copper
wire. Under his system you open
the bottle as usual. Then you heat
the copper wire red hot Insert It
in the bottle and into the LIQUID. If
when withdrawn the hot wire give:
an odor Of formaldehyde, cork the
bottle and go no further. For that
is wood alcohol
Another fellow who warns the
world against wood alcohol, advises
prospective drinkers to carry a live
guinea pig in ones pocket Before
imbibing allow the animtl to lap IN
a few drops, he suggests, and II a
pleased expression comes over the
pigs face one may drink without
fear. If the beastie dies, leave the
liquid alone! Guinea pigs are surely
coming to place in the sun.
