INDIAN COURTSHIP IS SIMPLE
DAILY OklahOman)

Canute, Okla.-Indian cpurtahip
and marriage rules among the
Cheyennes, before the days of the
white mans law, were simple, but
rigid, according to John H. Seeger,
founder, and for many years a
teacher in the Seeger Indian school
near Canute.
An Indian courtship may begin
this way: An Indian boy at a dance
may see a girl he likes. He gazes
intently at the girl. If she likes
him she will return the look. At
dances the women stay on one side
Of the house and the men on the
other. If the girl welcomes the
boys attentions, she may dance
across the floor and touch him for
a partner. When it comes time for
him to select a partner he may in
differently pat her on the head and
| she will dance around with him
again.
He Ices not take her home. In
case he wants to talk to her he will
place himself in her way az she
starts to leave the dance, throw his
blanket around her, and, both
wrapped in the blanket, stand and
| talk for a minute or two while the
others 90 by. After the talk he
! goes home with the men and she
joins the m
The engagement may be made
this Way: The mother of the girl
while visiting the mother Of the
son may happen to say: you ought
to see the fine bead work my daugh-
ter can do"
To which the mother Of the boy
may say: you ought to see what
a big hunter my son is. He never
goes out unless he brings in deel
or buffalo,"
How many ponies do you think
your o would give for my daugh'
teri"
"Your daughter should be so glat
to have my son for a husband tina
two ponies would be enough"
Both families talk the thing ov

Galileo, Inventor of the tele-
scope, gave to the world discov
cry which revolutidnized astrono-
my. Scientifically. the value OF
the telescope cannot be computed
in dollars and cents. Yet CON-
MERCIALLY the telescope is a
comparative failure. Too few
people can find any use for it.
In commercial sense, the val

the number of people who can
make practical use of 1t. And
these. people are educated to the
USES of an article through ADJ
vERTISING.
Advertising convinced the pub
lie that the automobile was, not
merely conveyance but
PRIME NECESSITY OF LIFE.
Advertising featured the auto
mobile as a medium for saving
time and money, for increasing
efficiency, opening up new ave-
nues of business preserving the
health, enriching the mind and
adding to the enjoyment of life.
BY educating men and women
to the manifold USES to which
the automobile could be applied,
advertising created one of the
foremost industries in the United
States and gave profitable year.
round employment to millions of
people.
Intensified production, brought
about by the huge demand for
automobiles. made possible the
dependable motor cars which are
sold at a price available to those
of moderate means.
Without the far-reaching educa
tional influence of advertising,
millions OF people would be with
out many of the most potent aids
to health. happiness and comfort.
Many advertisers employ adj
vertising first to get people to use
their products. Then they use adj

toners to develop NEW WAYS of
using these products. New ways

During the period of inflated
prices-1914 to 1920-it is inter-
esting to note that ADVERTIS-
ED ARTICLES WE'RE THE
LAST TO BE RAISED IN
PRICE.
From check-up of GO per cent
of the advertised proprietary ar
ticles on the shcelves of druggists
throughout the country. the aver
age increase from the low period
of 1914 to the highest period Of
1920 was something less than IL
per cent. The average increase
in price for the complete line Of
non-trade-marked proprietaries
was over 1877 per cent.
During the era OF price infla-
ton. hundreds of instances are
cited of national advertisers who
took large losses for seasons rath-
er than increase the price Of their
standard trade marked merchan-
disc.
Advertising virtually insures
manufacturers sales for his en-
tire output. He is thus able to plan
and carry cut his manufactur-
ing schedule on year ahead basis,
His records show that regardless
Of the times or seasons, his adj
vertising eventually will move his
product. If his goods are not sold
today they viii be sold tomorrow.
That is why the plants of the
great national advertisers are now
running on full time, whereas the
factories of non-advertisers in
many instances are shut down.
Advertising Furthermore at
tracts workers to the factories Of
advertisers. 1t is significant that
during the wartime scarcity of
labor, factories manufacturing
advertised commodities were able
to secure competent help. On
the other hand competitive con-
Germs turning out non-branded
merchandise were compelled to
run short handed.
In the present era of price adj
justment. advertising has been
mighty influence in solving the
financial problems Of many or
ganizations. Financial interests
prefer to invest their money with
concerns that advertise and make
their loans on advertised pro-
ducts. Their security is the great
purchasing power Of millions Of
consumers

would not an equal amount of cour-

proposal have been equally common
dable? It is true, under the act taking
over the roads-an act which win
stand forever as a monument marking
the distance a sensible nation can
travel in the direction of insanity and
yet return IN safety-we had to settle
with the roads for the dividends they
did not draw on their watered stock
while the war was going ON. But that
obligation is no more sacred than that
of taking care of the boys who fought
the war. and it seems TO the Telegram
that high degree Of genuine courage
would have prompted the president to
tell the stockholders TO sit down and
sun their heels with the ex-service
men while Uncle Sam got in fix to
settle their claims on sort of pro-

st. Petersburg mas compelled the
railroads to safeguard their street
crossings, but Ocala, alasl hasn't that
much backbone.-Ocala Star.
No, brother. St Petersburg hasn't
succeeded yet. The railroad has re-
fused to comply with the city COM
mission order.-St. Petersburg Times.
One of the worst railroad crossings
we ever saw was on Market street,
Chattanooga, in 1882. It was the
principal street in the city, with a
street-car line in the center and a con-
tinual stream of pedestrians and We
hicles going both ways. At the old
Western and Atlantic crossing was
also railroad tracks for the Cincin-
natl Southern and East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia roads. There
was seldom five minutes that a pas
senger or freight train or switch en-
CINE with string of cars wasn't
crossing or about to cross the street.
There was nothing but bare ground
between the rails. The sidewalks stop
ped several yards from the tracks.
There was no guard except one old
fiagman, worn out in the service of
the roads. The dust was ankle deep
in dry weather and the mud was six
inches to foot deep in wet. The rail-
roads owned the city council and the
state legislature. So it seemed hope
less case. Then one day little eve
ming paper made a remark about the
crossing. The next day it made an
other remark. And every day it said
something. The people began to no.
tice. They began TO inquire why
they had to put up with this nuisance
They began to ask awkward questions
Of their aldermen. And in six months
that crossing was put in good shape
for crossing of that day. If the
st. Petersburg papers want the
crossings in their city made safe, lei
them demand it eevry day, and they
soon will get results.
