For two years in succession Mis-
sourian has been declared champion

THE indian GOES. TO WORK

It certainly looks like we are pretty
nearly through with the wild Indian
on this North American continent.
There are plenty Of middie-aged
men who can well remember the wild
alarms Of uprisings in the West, who
can recollect the country's distnay
when Custer and his cavalry band
were wiped out.
But that is a thing of the past. The
braves are no longer brave. They
yearn for the war path no more.
Many Of them are getting the white
mans education into their systems
and others are emulating the white
man in his quest for the gold that
glitters.
Then, too, there are some who are
settling into the quiet ways Of life
and becoming real producers. For
example, we hear that Canadian In
dams cultivated $4,000 acres In 1920
and broke 4,500 acres Of virgin soil.
They are owners Of considerable live
stock, as was to be expected. Cana
dian Indians in 1920 held real and
personal property to the value Of $685.
100000, or A per capita value Of.
and the per capita income
Of those who worked was $lO7.1s for
the year.
10, the poor Indian, is on the way.
q riches. We are glad Of IT because
IN some ways he was a blamed good
fellow---when he was asleep!

The buildings of the institution

feeding each individual animal, 10

such as underweight, overweight,

The animals thus chosen will be
clipped and blanketed and trained
