. Famine Relief Week,

A call that has come: many
times to the people of Minnesota
is coming again, under pressure
Of need more bitter than ever
before. !. .. ...
1.-THE lives Of $500 children
have been put in Minnesota's
keeping. The officers Of the Near.
East Relief committee, which is
endeavoring to. feed 500, 700 child Z
ren, say that only the help Of
Minnesota can save these $500
lives from extinction by famine.
The call is coming first to men
and women who already have sac.
rifced much through the period of
reconstruction. The Near East
Relief is appealing to American
farmers to give 100000 bushels
of corn and wheat to save children
from death. Minnesota is being
asked to contribute 80 carloads Of
corn and AZ carloads of wheat from
its 1921 harvest. The call to the
cities will come later.
Believing implicitly in the
.trustworthiness of the Near East
Relief committee, and knowing
the terrible need it seeks to meet,
], ]. a. Q. Preus, Governor Of
Minnesota, hereby urge the men
and women who create the agri-
cultural wealth of Minnesota to
set aside and observe the week of
October 3 to 8 as Famine Relief
Week, and that they give of their
harvest, in such manner as they
feel proper, to provide the grain
this state has been asked to give.

Aged Sioux Indian Tells
New Story Of Fomous
'66 Massacre.

+ A new angle is given to the
affair known as the Fetterman
massacre, which occurred near
Fort Phil Kearaey, Wyoming
December 81, 1865, by the version
recently recited by Shunka Luta,
an Ogalala Sioux, living on Butte
Greek in Trip county, South Da-
kota, for the South Dakota His.
torical Society. Luta, who is now
.85 years old, claims to be ono of
the last survivors of that battle
which in the history of the North
west ranks next to the Custer
massacre on the Little Big Horn.
Historians of the early Indian
uprisings, in writing of this Incl.
dent, which resulted in the annihi.
lation of Captain Fetterman and
his band of eighty trained fighters,
have always insisted that Fetter-
man, who was sent to the relief of
wood train which was supposed to
have been attacked "a short dis
;tance from the fort, disobeyed
orders by driving the Indians
beyond a certain point and was
by them. a. (, i.
Luta, for all his years, mas a
vivid recollection Of the affair.
This is his version:
+ 'Deertail and two other young
boys, hunting near the fort, we're
killed BY the soldiers. Another
companion escaped and brought
the news to Red Clouds camp. A
little more than one hundred war
riors at once started out 10 bring

KILLING THE DANDELIONS
University of Iowa Expert Gives
A Formula.

Iowa City, Iowa-Dandelions can
be eradicated from lawns by using
the proper formula for a spraying
treatment, according to DR.. E. w.
lockwood, professor of chemistry at
the University of Iowa.
Cutting the root just below the
surface does not destroy the weed,
according to Dr.. lockwood, but only
produces more than one, shoot from
each root and consequently greater
trouble.
The solution for spraying to re-
move dandelions is made by dissolv-
ing from one and a half to two
pounds of copperas in a gallon of
water. This may be applied by a
sprayer or sprinkler or by shaking
the solution from a small broom.
After a day or two the leaves OF
the dandelion turn black and drop
off. A single application will not
kill the roots, however, and in q
week or two a smaller crop OF
leaves will appear. Repetition OF
the spraying will kill each crop un,
til the roots are exhausted. If pos,
sible, each plant should be reached
with the spray.
Approximately four pounds of the
copperas will spray 1000 square feet
of lawn. In the powdered or sugar
form the copperas will dissolve
readily in water and its cost will be
but a few cents pound. A da!
when there is little wind and no pros
pect of rain is best for spraying
Other applications should follow a
intervals of three or four weeks i
the plants continue to sprout.
Some other weeds will be destroyed
but not all. Blue grass is blackeneC
but RECEIVERS in a day or two. Whit
clover probably will be killed. /
is best to discontinue spraying il
time of drought when grass is no
growing WE'LL.

Illinois Joint Legislative Com.
mittee to Inquire Into Cause
Of High Building & Costs.

CHICAGO, April 14.-A probe into
the reasons why Chicago people can't
afford to build houses has been be- gun
here by a joint legislative committee.
Proceeding along the lines of the re-
cent Lockwood committee of New
York state, the legislature will cdelve
into the various building material
"combines'' and rings" and also into
any restrictive practices by the build
ing trades"
Since Chicago is the lumber. market
of the country, considerable interest
attaches to the probability Of the COM
mittee giving wider publicity to the
frank lumber monopoly. which has
its headquarters here. Under the
broad scope which the committee has
set itself. it has the power to summon
all necessary witnesses and it is ex-
pected that officials Of some Of the
interlocking lumber associations will
be called to, explain the present high
price levels of lumber, sash and doors
and shingles: The initiating of the
Build Your Own Home movement
two years ago by these lumber associ-
ations as a device for unloading at
war prices lumber intended. for war
uses, may be fully revealed by the in
vestigation of the committee. ;.
