saying a good deal. for many Of them

are very wealthy. In the 1920 report
of the secretary of the interior are
found these facts and figures:
The Indians in Oklahoma constitute
nearly one-third of their race in the
United States and about five-siXths
of them are members of the five CIV
ilized tribes.
There are on the Usage reservation
in Oklahoma nearly 5000 oil wells,
producing from 2 to 1900 barrels per
day each, with daily total produc-
ton of about $4,000 barrels. During
the year three oil-lease sales were
held, offering at each sale approx
mately 200 quarter-section tracts. Ap:
proximately 9S,s66 acres were leased
at these sales for a bonus consldera-
ton Of $12, 110,100. Oil leases embrac-
ing 54O,S66 acres are included in lands
leased for gas. In addition to bonus,
royalty is paid on oil Of 16A per
cent and upward, and the same on
gas based on a value Of Is cents per
1000 cubic feet for gas at the well.
Nearly $1SO0O,0OO were received by
Usage Indians from oil and gas during
the fiscal year.
AS to the five civilized tribes, the
superintendent's receipts and disburse-
ments for the year were nearly $4S,-
100000, the largest of any year in the
history of that office. There were g.
500 oil and gas leases disposed of dur
ing the year. Nearly $4,SO0,0OO in
bonuses and royalties were received
by the restricted Indians. Federal in
come tax in excess of $350,000 was
paid by PAP restricted Indians.
When America entered the World
war. the Indian was willing volun-
teer. The American Indian is-or used
TO be-the finest natural fighter the
world ever saw. The bucks of serv-
ice age enlisted in large numbers,
made splendid soldiers and covered
themselves with glory. Many were
decorated for extraordinary gallantry
under fire.
During the war Barnett showed his
martial spirit in the only way it was
possible for him. While others OF his
race shouldered arms and marched
away to France, there to do battle side
by side with their white brethren, Bar
nett was too old to. heed the war
dance. He soon showed, however, that
while age prevented him from taking
an active part in lowering the colors
of the Hun, he could do the next best
thing and support Uncle Sam through
the medium of his vast riches.
When the government, after enter
ing the World war, issued the cali for
financial assistance Jackson Barnett
answered as readily as the younger
members of his tribe answered the
call for men. He was one of the first
of Okmulgee county citizens to show
his patriotism in the purchase Of Lib
erty bonds, and by most liberal con-
tributions to all of their war aids.
AS each successive bond issue was
placed on the market, Barnett became
heavy purchaser, with the result
that today he is millionaire in Lib
erty and Victory bonds alone, owning
more than $1,50O,OOO worth Of them.

Eatonic quickly relieves sour stom-

takes up and carries out the excess
acidity and gases which cause most
stomach ailments. If you have "tried

most difficult things for him to learn.
barnett little realizes what his wealth
really means. But he knows that he
has more than he can use and that
the money is coming in faster than
ne can spend 1t. He also understands
that his money can do a lot Of good.
SO he is giving away large sums to
aid worthy enterprises. He has au-
thorized the following gifts. among
others:

Jackson Barnett has also made up
his mind that the injured and ailing
of his race in Oklahoma shall have
good medical care and nursing. Hence
his latest and biggest benefaction-the
Jackson Barnett hospital. To this he
is giving $1,000, OOO-$50, 900 for the
purchase of the Henryetta site, $780,
600 for the building and 100000 for
endowment, invested in United States
bonds.
OF course the question of permitting
these munificent gifts had to be taken
up by the Interior department Com
missioner Sells went to Henryetta to
interview Barnett personally, and to
satisfy himself that no undue pressure
was being brought to bear upon his
ward to part him from his wealth. At
ter making thorough investigation
of conditions and satisfying himself in
a private conversation with Barnett
that the latter was not being imposed
upon, but that he really Of his own
free will desired to make the above
donations, Sells said he looked favor
ably upon the proposed gifts, but
would give out no statement until fur
Their investigation by the Indian de-
partment. Later the commissioner
called a conference with O'Hornett
and other prominent men of Henry
eta and told them that all of the
gifts would be allowed.
How long Jackson Barnett will con
tinue to live the simple life on his
Henryetta farm can only be guessed.
