NEIGHBORS AID RESCUES
Fireman Also Give Assistance and
Fight Fire at Home of T. L.
Baker, p Street.

Lives of five members of the family
of Thomas L. Baker. 1880 p street, and
Mrs. Katherine Cation, seventy-six
years old. roomer. were endangered
by fire that started in the cellar Of
the Baker home about 1890 o'clock
this morning
Neighbors and fremen assisted in
the rescue work. and fremen pre-
vented the flames from reaching
above the cellar. The dense smoke SO
greatly affected the sleeping occu-
pants of the house, however, that it
was with considerable difficulty that
they were rescued and taken to the
home of a neighbor.
An unidentified colored man dis
covered the hre. He banged on the
front door of the house and then hur-
ried to nearby box and sent In an
alarm. His knocking on the door did
not arouse occupa nts. however. and it
was not until neighbors appeared
there and made unusually loud noises
that Mr.. Baker was aroused.
Going to the second-story front win
dow, Mr.. Baker learned from persons
on the street that his house was
burning. and before he could arouse
his wife. children and Mrs. Cation
smoke had appeared on the upper
floor and made conditions almost un-
bearable.
Mrs Baker picked up her seventeen
months -old child and started for the
lower floor, while her husband
aroused Mrs. Cation and then started
to the lower floor with two Of his
children Virginia. Ave, and Daniel.
seven years old. He stumbled over
furniture at the foot of the stairs and
fell but did not receive an injury. His
children also were unharmed.
Claud Nichols. a neighbor. assisted
Mrs Baker and the baby from the
house. Baker made an effort to return
to the upper floor and rescue Mrs.
Cation, but the smoke was SO dense
that he was unable to get through it.
Firemen entered Mrs. Caton's room
through a rear window. while others
entered through an upper front win
dow and a neighbor also gained, en-
trance and assisted in taking the.
elderly woman to the street. She was
very much affected by the smoke. but
it was not necessary to take her to
hospital.
Origin OF the fire remains a mys-
terry. Damage to the house amounted
10 about 500, while the damage to
Mr. Bakers effects will be much
greater. He is a mail carrier con-
nected with the main city post Office.

head of the Polish delegation, pre-
sided.
THE Polish peace delegation" he
said. in his opening address. begins
the work of concluding a final treaty
of peace with the same resolute deter
mination that it showed in arranging
a preliminary peace convention. The
unanimous ratification Of the prelim-
mary treaty shows Poland's desire for
peace.
Recognition of the mutual inde-
'sandence OF r"tions and non-interfer-
ence in the affairs of other countries
will be the bases of Poland's attitude
toward her eastern neighbors If we
could create the atmosphere of peace
during the clash of arms some months

CROPS OF INDIANS
STAY UNCHANGED
VERY LITTLE DEVELOPMENT IN
TOBACCO AND CORN SINCE
FIRST GROWN BY THEM.

BISMARCK, N. DIN connection
with his endeavor to determine the
possibilities of native food producing
plants DR.. Melvin G. Gilmore, cura-
tor of the North Dakota Historical
Society, has devised a regional map
to show the agricultural pursuits OF
the Indians. The eastern half of the
United States, with nineteen inches
of rainfall or more, represents an
area in which the American tribes
practiced agriculture before the ad-
vent of Europeans, before the time
of Columbus. The crops raised con-
sisted of corn, beans, pumpkins, sun
flowers, squashes, gourds, and tobac-
CO.
Five Varieties of Corn.
Corn was produced in the five va
rieties of dent, flint, sweet, flour and
popcorn. Flour corn, though found to
be of great food value by the red
skins. is not now used. Gourds were
raised chiefly for use as musical in
struments. Sunflowers were import
ant principally for the oil food val
ue of their seeds.
Although tobacco has been subject
ed to extensive breeding, 1T has
remained fundamentally unchanged,
as have the other Indian crops.
Corn Derived From Grass.
The highlanders of southern Mexl-
co are shown as the region in which
corn was brought into cultivation
from the native wild grass and was
developed by the aboriginal farmers
into the present types. The lines OF
distribution were directly northward
through Texas and later through the
South American West Indies route:
DR.. Gilmore says that while the
water lily could be proftably develop
ed in the sections of greater moisture,
the dry prairies abound in a legum,e
which could be similarly commercial
lied. He has designated the species
as "tipsin," from its name In the
language of the Dakota nation. He
says it is of unusual food value, be-
ing both heterogeneous and starchy'
It was known to the early French
voyagers as the "pomme blanche"
