 The following communication from the officers of the grand camp of the Alaska Native Brotherhood has been handed to the Wrangell School Board
 WRANGELL, ALASKA,
 FfbrNa,y IT, Io2I. WRANGELL SCHOOL BOARD,
 Wrangell, AlaSka.
 GENTLEMEN
 Your body presented certain resolutions to the Parent-Teachers Association which were adopted by that body prohibiting the en- trance of Native children into your public school unless they had passed almost prohibitive qualifi- cations.
 The officers of the Grand Camp of the Alaska Native Brotherhood at this time wish to advise you that this matter was taken up fully in convention of the Brother hood at Wrangell in November, 1920. The instructions to the officers of the grand camp from that convention was to carry a test case into the Federal courts ! to the highest tribunal.
 We are now making this mat ter of record for your files that when your school opens next fall, whether or not the Government Indian School is in operation, the matter will be placed before you for proper action. In event you take adverse position in this mat l ter from the Brotherhood, we will present to the District court a case in fact. If the ruling of the District court is adverse, the mat ter will be taken to the Court of Appeals and to the Supreme court of the United States if necessary. In the event that we lose the case regarding the equal rights of citizenship, then we will insti- ute action as wards of the Gov ernment to recover all Indian lands whether in incorporated towns or not. This will also mean that action will be taken to protect under Indian rights all salmon streams known in fact as Indian hunting and fishing lands and waters. We will also insti- ute action to recover all money paid into the town treasury of Wrangell in the form of tax whether it be for street assess ments or for real and. personal property.
 The Natives of Alaska are now organized to carry this fight to the finish and the loss of even a hundred dollars per capita of Ma tive population will be less felt than the further indebtedness of property holders in the town of Wrangell.
 i We do not desire to threaten you and ask therefore that this communication be not so consid- cred. We hand it to you think ing that you would appreciate such an expression so that having all facts before you, you can make your decision with full knowledge of your responsibilities.
 Very respectfully, 1 LOUIS F. PAUL,
 President Gyand Camp, AAaska Nafi9e Br0fheyhooa.
 WILLIAM L. PAUL,
 Secretary Grand Camp,

 Last Friday the Sd and 4th grades surprised the Primary room with a Valentine party. When the little tots came in after the afternoon recess they found a table set with good things to eat. There was a great amount of cake and sandwiches which were furnished through the kind ness of the ladies of the Parent Teachers Association. Cocoa was served by the 4th grade girls who acted as hostesses. Valentine Gartley was the guest of honor. It is needless to say that the Pa rent-Teachers Association is a very popular organization in the estimation of the little folk.

EAR WORM OF CORN
WORKING WAY NORTH

. The ear worm of corn had season
to it's liking last year and, in conse-
quence, worked it's way further north
than ever before. "The long contin-
ued dry hot weather." says A. G. Rug
giles, state entomologist, was favor
able to the propagation Of this pest,
with the result that it entered dis
tricts where it has not been trouble
some before. am informed that
an unusual high percentage of corn
was damaged by this worm in GER
tain localities.
Fall blowing is one of the best
methods to combat the ear worm.
The pupae, which generally is found
from three to five inches beneath the
surface of the soil, will thus be thrown
up and exposed to the birds and win
ter weather.. Rough treatment of this
sort will dispose of myriads of the
pest. y
"a practical way to protect small
patch of corn is to use lead arsenate
as a dust. Silks of the corn should
be kept we'll busted with powdered
lead arsenate in about six parts of
-four"

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
EMPLOYS LARGE CREW

st. Paul, Oct. 31.-The Minnesota
highway department is employing an
army Of between $500 and 5000
men including those on part time, and
IS using from $250,00O to $500, 900
a month for maintenance on the state
trunk route system, Charles M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner,
has announced The department is
sued a bulletin on a typical 30-lay
maintenance statement whicn, it was
asserted, shows fairly equal amounts
of work and expenditures in the six
teen districts, relative needs, COM
parative mileages, new construction
and other conditions considered.
Commissioner Babcock announced
last spring, upon Inauguration of the
new highway development plan, that
maintenance work by patrolnlen and
special forces would be depended to
spread general benefits over the en-
tire 7,CO0-mile system during the
first year. The bulletin, based on Of
fetal records, is intended to show how
the policy is being carried out.

LAMB CROP EASY TO
GROW IN MINNESOTA

= Minnesota is ideally equipped for
sheep production, says Philip A. An
derson of the division of animal in
dustry, University of Minnesota.
Small nocks we'll husbanded," he
says, "are more successful than large
focks poorly cared for. Twenty-Five
to so ewes can be cared for nicely on
most farms north of the Twin Cities.
The farms where sheep are kept are
more free from noXious weeds.
"The labor necessary to care for a
small flock is negligible during most
of the year, the lambing season gen.
orally coming when the farm work is
not so pressing. Fencing has been
one of the drawbacks, the cost being
the first consideration, but very
good fence may be constructed of
three woven wires on top. The hous-
three barbed wires on top. The hous-
ing necessary for protection need not
be expressive. Single board walls with
a good roof is all that is needed, as
sheep need not be protected from the
cold, but from the snow, rain and
wind.
LAMBS can be produced cheaply
under prevailing feed prices, and
should be an attractive enterprise"

WALKED $40 MILES
WHILELUCClNG WATER

In carrying water-2,OOO tons of it
from the we'll to her home, a farm
wife in Ohio trudged $40 miles in
SO years, say rural engineers of the
Ohio state university. For full
half century this farm wife had been
making an average of six trips day,
sometimes Juggling a bucket Of water
weighing 80 pounds, and sometimes
two buckets. The engineers found
that by laying $18 worth of lead pipe
and moving the old pump up from the
we'll to within the kitchen, running
water could be supplied the farm
home, and the lot Of this particular
farm woman materially lightened.
Running water can be pipcd into
thousands of Minnesota farm homes
at comparatively little expense, say
agricultural engineering division men
Of University Farm. Why not con-
suit them?

NOT ENOUGH WOOD
TO COFFIN CITIZENS

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 31.-"Buy
your coffin early" will be a business
slogan in New York state before long,
1t the forests are not preserved.
New York state is running shy on
coffin material, and the State College
of Forestry has discovered. Only a
seventh of the population of the state
could be provided collins from state
forests, the college authorities stated.
The college calls attention to the
great destruction of forest lands and
points out that wanton destruction of
the forests have so depleted the sup,
ply that the only reason one doesn't
have to wait seven years for coffin
is that nine-tenths Of the lumber used
for caskets and. rough boxes is i'm
ported from outside the states Dor
der. More tree planting, better for,
est protection and closer utilization
Of wood production is urged by the,
college to save the state from the wild
orgy Of waste that has been in prog
ress for the past century and which
has now reached serious proportions.

RED CROSS PROGRAM
EXPANDS THROUGHOUT STATE

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Reports from
the American Red Cross chapters in
Minnesota for the past year, show u
marked Increase over preceding years
in the total of community undertak-
ings which have been developed. Tie
work in disaster relief, nursing ard
health instruction is an important
part of the peace time program of
the organization. -,
That $11,28S was contributed by
residents of the state through the
Red Cross for relief work in connec-
ton with the Pueblo flood during the
past few months shows the recogni-
ton given this organization as a ma
tionaI relief agency, for emergency.
During the year there were 43 dis
asters in the United States resulting
in the death of $50 persons and the
injury Of $500. These emergencies
called for an expenditure of 1871
600 in the fiscal year ending June 80.
