SELLING THE GOSPEL

In professional circles it is common
to disparage craftsmanship as phase of
commercialism-a specious art by which
people are induced to buy what they do
not want-and yet publicity, preaching,
propaganda, and other forms of sales
manship are needed to overcome the
natural inertia of mankind and to per-
suade them to mend their ways. In this
sense clergymen, physicians, lawyers,
statesmen, teachers, artists, writers, philan-
thropists, engineers and all other 'profes-
sional" people have something to sell, and,
while some decline to accept remuneration,
they are usually glad to have their wares
accepted and appreciated. Even the Cos
pei has to be sold, though without money
and without price.-Ex.

no aurora borealis or volcanic eruptions
are going on. Then there are some mag
netic storms that are worldwide; that is,
terrestrial magnetism everywhere acts
VIGOROUSLY; and there are others, some
times equally violent, that are only local.
Science divides such storms into three
classes: First, cosmic, caused by changes
in the regions above; second, telluric,
caused by changes in the interior of the
earth; and third, regional, or local,
caused by changes in the crust of the
earth.
In order to carry on continued scientific
study of the phenomena of terrestrial mag
netism many magnetic observatories have
been built throughout the world. The
first observatory of the kind in this coun-
try was established at Girard College,
Philadelphia, about sixty years ago. The
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey
now runs five observatories. The main
one is at Cheltenham, Maryland, near
Washington! Such an observatory cannot
be placed in a city, for telephone and tele-
graph wires, the iron rails of electric and
steam railways and even the steel in near
by buildings keep magnetism from hav-
ing its normal effect on the instruments
that on long streams of paper record every
fuctuation of the mysterious force. Even
an observatory building is put together
with bronze nails, and the floors and the
walls are constructed much like the floors
and the walls of frst-class refrigerator;
for an even temperature must be main
tanned round the instruments. There are
branch observatories near Sitka, Alaska;
Honolulu, Hawaii; Vieques, Porto Rico,
and Tucson, Arizona. Until few years
ago the one at Tucson was situated at
Baldwin, Kansas.

The Importance of the island of zap as

ferior only to that of Guam. zap lies be-
tween the United States possessions of
Guam and the Philippines. One of the
three cables landing at zap comes from
Guam. Further, zap is important to the
cable service between America and the
Far East because the cables landing there
have been, and ought to be again, alter
nate routes of cable communication be-
tween America and all the oriental coun-
tries. That is to say, the German owned
cables were relied on to provide alternate
routes through the dangerous waters west

10, THE RICH INDIAN!

Life for the Usage Indians was neither
easy nor pleasant for many years. On
their lands in Kansas, until 1907, they
grew small crops with difficulty, and now
and then the government gave each men,
Der of the tribe small check, aggregating
forty dollars a year, from money which
had been paid to the government by cat
tie raisers who leased grazing rights on
the Indians acres.
ment decided to send the Usage Indians
down into Oklahoma, to permit them to
grow up in new state. The tribe was
small, and perhaps the government Of
ficials felt that in a new land it might be
absorbed. An entire county, larger than
the state of Delaware, was set aside for
the tribe, and named Usage County. A
strict census was taken of the tribe. 1t
was discovered that it numbered 2,229
men, womeG and Children every Usage
Indian in existence was counted and that
number made up their total force.
Every man, woman, and child was
given 6s7 acres of land; school was
started for the Indian children, and the
Osages settled down to life of farming.
The Osages tell you now that the soil was
not good; that there were too many hills
and too much timber and too much under
lying stone, and that farming in Oklaho-
ma was worse than in Kansas.
For eight years the Indians went from
bad to worse. And then, five years ago,
fate, in the shape of an oil man, stepped
in. He drilled for oil on the Indian land
and found it. Immediately Washington
was besieged with demands for oil leases.
These leases were sold by action; some of
the prices paid were fabulous. These
leases brought in so much money that in
1915, before the oil had begun to flow,
every Usage Indian, man or woman, and
every child born before 1907, received
check for $17O.25 from the fund held by
the government, which had decided to
pool the oil interests of the Indians, max
ing one mans luck the luck of all. Cash
money, in such abundance, astounded the
Indians. Some of the wise men said !:
There's a trick here. The great White
Father is getting realty to make us move
again and he's trying to buy our con-
sent" But wealth was to follow that
would make these first small checks look
like tobacco money. The next year, 1916,
oil began to flow from many wells. The
tribe, it was stipulated by the govern
ment, should receive one-sixth of all the
oil that was taken out By the end of
1916 every man, woman, and child re-
ceived from the government $S26.06, for
leases and $1,449.S2 as his share of the oil.
In 1917 the 2,229 Indian claimants re-
ceived $2,6OS each; in 1918 each share
was $3,940. Last year each Indian re-
ceived $4,000, and in this year of grace,
with new leases being sold at wild prices
and with oil flowing from every well, the
Indians had received over $4,000 apiece,
with prospects that their individual shares
for the entire year would be $4,000.
The average Indian family numbers
four persons; two or three members of
family will have one of the 2,229 Usage
shares, perhaps. This means a family in
come of over $4,000, which is real wealth.
