INDIANS TO APPEAL TO KING
Delegates From elk Nations Represent
One Of 0ldest confsderacles In
the World.

The delegates from the Six Nations
who are to make personal appeal to
King George In respect of their ancient
rights represent one of the Oldest and
most famous confederacies in the
world, certainly the. most famous In
the history of Savage" nations.
The Five Nations confederacy, the
eastern branch of the Iroquois, goes
back before the discovery by Column
bus. 1t was strengthened in 1712 by
the admission of the Tuscaroras from
North Carolina and consisted then Of
the Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onon-
dagas and Senecas, with the Tusca-
roras.
The Treaty Of Utrecht had declared
the Five Nations to be British sub
jects, and In the long struggle between
France and England In America the
British government based its claim to
large tracts of country sometimes on
the ground Of the so-called subsection
Of the Five Nations, sometimes on the
ground Of treaties made with them BY
the middle Of the Eighteenth century
an orator Of the Five Nations declared
In conference: 1--WE don't know what
you Christians, English and French,
intend. We are so hemmed In by you
both that we have hardly a hunting
place left. In little while, IL we find
a bear In tree, there will immediate
ly appear an owner Of the land to claim
the property. We are SO perplexed be-
tween you that we hardly know what
to say or think"

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Turn the machine blower on ana
leave Il on for at least two minutes
before anyone is permitted to enter
a partly filled silo. Unless this rule
is followed, the result is likely to be
dead men; says the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
Annually fatalities occur among
farmers and their helpers as result
Of the workmen entering half-filled
silos after the deadly carbon monoxide
gases have had chance to accumu-
late directly above the freshly en-
siled corn. A few days ago two ILL
nois farmers were killed and another
was rendered seriously sick by silo

gases which are almost as dangerous
as the poisonous mustard gases used
during the recent war. In this In
stance, one of the farm wOrkmen
entered q 5O-foot stlo which had been
half filled the previous day. Some
time elapsed and when he did not
come out. another Of the hands as
cended into the silo. Neither re-
appeared, though the other workers
shouted to them repeatedly to come
down..
Fearing an accident, the farm owner
finally climbed into the silo. He also
was Immediately overcome by the
poisonous fumes and only the fact
that others followed him, forced open
the extra silO doors and carried him
into the open air saved his life. The
two other men were suffocated Inn
mediateiy.
Each year, q number Of accidents OF
this kind occur, due largely to care
lessness and ignorance of the proper
methods Of eradicating the dangerous
gases. The preventive measures are
simple and efficient and, where they
are followed, there Is no danger.
No workman should ever enter a
partly filed silo, after the ensiled
corn has had an opportunity to de-
velop poisonous carbon monoxide
gases overnight, until the machine
blower has been started. The fresh
air dilutes and scatters the obnoxious
gases to the extent that they are
rendered harmless. After the blower
has been operated for two minutes,
1t is perfectly safe for the workmen
to enter Another precaution which
should be practiced religiously is not
to wedge the silO doors into place un-
til they are needed to prevent the
waste of the ensiled corn. Many
farmers follow the practice of plac-
ing most Of the doors before any great
amount of corn Is cut and deposited
In the silo. This prevents free cir
culatiOn Of air through the silO which,
In turn, operates to favor the accumu-
latiOn Of carbon m0noxide and other
deadly silo gases.
