SOUTH SEA ISLANDER WHO WAS CROOKS FAvORITE SCOUT

 SOUTH SEA ISLANDER WHO WAS CROOKS FAVORITE SCOUT
 T would rather lose third of my army than to have Frank Gruard killed" once declared Gen. Frank Crook, and when this great Indian fighter set such high value on the services of a scout it meant that Frank Gruard was without peer. Gruard was born in Tahiti in 1850 the son of an American trader and native woman. His father returned to this country when Frank was but two years old and at the age of fif- teen Frank ran away from home and went to Montana.
 Gruard became a mail carrier, a dangerous job in country full of hos tile Sioux. They captured him finally and were preparing to kill him when a young brave pleaded for his life. Calling their attention to Franks swarthy complexion he declared that the mail carrier must be an Indian who had been captured by the whites.
 This Indian was the renowned Sit ting Bull. For 19 months Gruard was guarded closely and, realizing the use lessness Of attempting to escape. he learned the Sioux tongue and entered He lived with the Indians six years before he finally escaped.
 one day Gruard was scouting for an officer who attempted to guide his command by use of the compass. They became lost in binding snow storm Frank borrowed the officers compass. smashed it against < rock. and then, taking the lead, he guided the soldiers straight to the place they wished to go.
 Gruard's greatest exploit was his part in the "Sibley Scout" in 1876 Lieut.. s. W. Sibley was sent out on a scout to find the Indians. He found them, and in short time his little command was surrounded by hun dreds of Sioux and Cheyennes. After desperate light in which the Chey- enne chief, White Antelope. was Killed, lue SOiulcTS were IOECGu lp abandon their horses and attempt es- cape on foot.
 Gruard's knowledge Of the country was all that saved them. He led them over unknown mountain trails. winding through the deep canyons and around high peaks, until the Indians were outdistanced. The next day he guided them to high point on 8 mountain side and pointed down. Be low them lay Crooks camp.
 Frank Gruard was given a lifetime position as government scout and he performed valuable services in the last uprising of the Sioux. the Ghost Dance war of 1S90-01. In 1894 Frank saw his father for the first time since he had run away from home Gl'uard died in St. Joseph Mo. in 1913.

Troops Will Be Employed,

q Washington, Aug. 31.-President put down the instruction growing out of the mine war in Mingo coun- 1 ty. w. Va, unless the lawless bands disperse by Thursday noon.
 This was the decision reached by the president late yesterday after noon in conference with Secretary of War Weeks and General Harbord,
 assistant chief of staff of the army The president immediately issued 1 8 proclamation calling on the in- surgents to disband by Thursday, in default of which he will order troops into the state to restore order. Two regiments are ready to move. one at Camp Sherman, O., which can reach the scene in three or four hours, and the other at Camp Dix, N. Y.
 At the request of the president Secretary Weeks directed Brig. Cen. Ii. II. BandholtZ to proceed to West Virginia last night and to report to day and Thursday afternoon whether the presidents proclamation was
 being complied with.
 President Harding was described as reluctant to take this extreme step because the War Department had advised him that Governor Mor-
 gan had not invoked the full re sources of the state to restore and maintain order. A delegation of West Nirginians, headed by Senator Sutherland, waited upon both the president and secretary of war and argued that the issue is the preser- vation of flaw and order. regardless
 of what the state might have done
 in that direction.
 Upon receipt of the second appeal for troops. from Governor Morgan the president yielded. He declined to accede, however to the request of John l.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers. that the president call conference of opera tors and miners 10 endeayor to set tie the violent controversy raging
 over the effort to unionize the mines in the Mingo district. President Harding believes that more can he accomplished in this direction by the Senate Committee. which will resume it's investigation at William son, w Va, on September 19.
 The intimation was given by ad- lministration officials that if troops were sent there would be an ade- quate force and that there would be mo child's play"
 While some disquietins reports reached here during the day from West Virginia officials, there was apparently a feeling among govern ment officials that the people com manded by the president to return t0 their homes will do SO, and that Thursday noon will see restoration of order which would make the presence of troops unnecessary. Al
 the same time however, there was a firm determination on the part of the administration 10 meet any
 serious situation that may arise.

 Mr Hoover. who has been inter- ested ill the progress of this move ment, recently sent the following letter to ]. Mitchell Thorsen, Chair man of the Sell Now League. He is optimistic and his remarks will be inspiring to business men gen erally.

 There is never very long period in peace times when goods cannot be sold by consistent, persistent ef- fort-simply because the human ani- mal goes on consuming. He slows up at times, but over a long term both his production and consump- ton is always increasing.
 We have had fourteen Impressions since the Civil War and fourteen periods of prosperity, each of the latter greater than the one before, We have passed the valley in this slump-the worst and most rapid we have ever fallen into-but we are coming out of il steadily through the intelligence and capacity of our business men.

Crop Report

The condition OF winter wheat in In
diana shows an increase Of 30 points over
the April condition OF 1920 and rye
shows gain Of II points. while breed
ing s0ws show decline Of 10 per cent
Tor the same period, according to the
report OF the cooperating crop reporting
service of Indiana, issued today.
Ihe farm labor supply is greater than
the demand, because or changed methods
OF farming low prices for farm products
and improved machinery for facilitating
work
The report follows:
The condition of winter wheat April /,
was 70 per cent Of normal and indicates
total production Of approximately 80. o
100000 bushels for the State. Last year,
the condition was 20 per cent OF normal
and the ten-year average was SO per cent
There was 1,933,O00 acres seeded last
ran some of which has already been
abandoned, or seeded to oats or other
crops, but this is not extensive and
present indications Of abandonment loss
seem to be very small.
The weather has been very favorable
and late sown wheat has made a wonder
ful improvement over the December con-
dttion. The early sown, however, was
badly damaged by Hessian fly and at
this tiIne Is In rather poor condition.
Chinch bugs and Joint worms also are
working In the early crop. Some dam
age is reported from high water, but
Is not extensive.
Rye shows a somewhat better con
dition than wheat being 90 per cent of
normal, compared with so per cent OF a
year ago and IS per cent for the ten
year average. A slight increase In
acreage was shown last fall the total
approximating 335. 900 acres, practically
all OF which will be harvested The total
indicated production at this time is
slightly in excess Of 100000 bushels for
the State.
The number of breeding sows have de-
creased 10 per cent compared with year
ago II Is estimated that there are
ass 700 In the State at this time. The
demand for good sows is increasing, and
with a fairly steady market, Il looks as
though the number should begin to in
crease slightly and with a better grade
OF stock. Many Of the poorer grade
poses during the winter. Spring Filters
seem to be somewhat larger than usual
and the pigs are strong and healthy.
The farm labor supply In the State
has reached nearly normal stage again.
being il per cent greater than year
ago. The demand, however, is not as
great as in former years. Many farmers
have changed their methods Of farming,
by which means they can do a great
deal more of their work. Improved. farm
machinery has had considerable Influence
on the labor demand and supply and the
low prices farmers are receiving for
their products also has a tendency to
keep hired labor at the lowest possible
poilt. The per cent OF supply this year
is ia compared with year ago and
the demand is only s. per cent compared
with last year.

April g.

Wheat-Freezing temperatures over a
goodly portion of the wheat belt have
strengthened the July delivery, but have
not brought any important buying For
eign demand for old wheat was again re
ported from the seabOard. but volumes
of business closed was small. There were
persistent rumors, both from the sea-
board and from the southwest, of offers
to resell, by exporters. Southern hemi-
sphere wheat is quoted slightly cheaper
than United States varieties. Receipts
of cash wheat in southwestern markets
are quite liberal, while the demand is
slow. Premiums in this market were un-
ch anged for red wheat and about / cent
lower on the hard winter two red sell
ing at sc over May, hard at &c to sc
over. The market ignores minor items
of news, the trade being more willing
to give thought to the industrial situa-
ton, particularly that now in evidence
in England. This one condition over
shadows everything else and is respon-
s1ble for a practically complete disap
pearance Of investment demand or pro-
vision for the future. 1t will be neces
sary for q settlement of the trouble
abroad, or the appearance of some very
radical crop news, to revive the conf
dence of those who believe that the sur
plus Of old wheat In this country viii
be well exhausted.
Corn and Oats-Receipts of both corn
ana oats from the country are so small
as to necessitate a somewhat better basis
for the bids going to the country or
purchases to arrive. This strengthening
of the cash position is not followed by
enlargement of the distributing demand.
1t seems to be rather generally accepted
that prices are below a reproduction, as
well as a production basis, but at the
same time, this does not result in any
demand with the idea of higher prices in
the future Both of these markets are
neglected.
Provisions-The strength in provisions
and hogs today is considered a natural
reaction. The entire market is dominat-
ed by the pessimistlc feeling prevailing
in grains.
