Indians Giving up Moccasin.

Because Of a scarcity of proper
leather from which to manufacture
footwear, an dthe availability of
store shoes, Indian moecasin making
will Don be a lost art.
Throughout the Northwest the
fringe-bordered and head-bedecked
Indian moccasin is rapidly being

The aboriginal moccasin fabric
was mouse hide for cold weather in
the Northwest; buffalo hide with the
hair on for winter on the plains;
buckskin for all general purposes,
and later on beef hide in place Of
the disappearing skins.
In one fabric of the other were
distinct tribal models with historical
events drawn in head work. The
Crow, Sioux and Blackfoot Indian
shoes possessed a hard rawhide sole
to ward off stubby grass and pebbles,
In the snowy regions of the north
west the moccasin had soft soles
that would admit of the use of the
snowshoe.
Tourists who have ben searching
for various makes Of moccasins de-

New Year Resolutions.

Resolved; That each one of us
shall endeavor to make the world a
better place in which to live.
Is not that the true Impulse of all
Of us in everything we do? That is
indeed the way it was intended to
be. But many of us get side tracked
through circumstances or environ
ment and then the ideals of our
true NATURES begin to slip.
The beginning of the new year Is
the psychological time for resolu-
tons. Fortified with the happiness
Of holiday times, it is less trying to
make our good resolutions with a
sincere desire to keep them through
out the entire year.
Just what shah be resolve? What
Is 1t that will make the world a bet
ter place in which to live? The an
swer is happiness. If each of us
would concentrate on that, If each
one Of us would try to make herself
as happy as possible, the world
would indeed be improved by next
December.
The woman who feels constantly
grieved and injured at some in
justice real or imaginary, is sacri-
ficing some of the best things life
has to offer. She does not know
what it BAL to be greeted with a
smile of pleasure. She does not ex-
perience the Joy of being taken in
to ones confidence, to be relied up
on, to be appealed to in the hour OF
need. In dark hours of adversely
that come to all of us, it Is the per-
son who has spread her happiness
about and shared it with Others who
holds the sincere sympathy of their
friends.
Tolerance of ones weak points is
another resolution we might make
The training, early environment and
family traditions should be weighed
before judging a person too harshly.
Religious intolerance Is fast being
swept away and with it comes a
breath of vision that makes us
ashamed sometimes of the narrow
ness of ourselves.
Let US then, make a firm New
Years resolution to bring happiness
to ourselves and in this way we can
make the world a better place in
which to live.

BUILDING A TOWN.

Perhaps you think there is nothing you can do for this
town during the coming year. If so, you are modest-by
far too modest.
First, you can improve the appearance of your own pro-
perty by inaugurating a weekly Cleanup" system.
You'll be surprised at the difference it will make. A few
little touches here and there often transform a place.
When you see your ~neighbor doing the same you can en-
courage him by complmenting him on the Improvements
he is making. He will feel that his work is appreciated
by others and will be more disposed to continue it. Then
again he may pass this spirit of fraternity along with like
results in other places.
You can do much toward intsilling a n~eighborly feeling
and comradeship on the part of the people by simply e-.
tending a little of your own sunshine to those around you.
A pleasant smile on your face invariably brings another
one to some other face.
How simple it would be to make an endless chain of
these smiles and keep them perpetually on the move!
And what a wonderful difference it would make in the
home life OF the community!
Yes, there is much that you can do for this town in 1922
if you will.
Modesty is commendable, but don't carry it to excess.
The juvenile brain is quick to receive impressions, and
those impressions are often lasting.
The children of today are as we make them, and the men
and women OF tomorrow will be but the product of the chill
dren of today.
Kindness and consideration extended to the child is
never wasted. 1t grows with the years and in time is
passed on to the children of the next generation.
1t is the inception of the milk of human kindness.
We have not only our duty to our children to consider.
We owe a duty to posterity as well.
In the infancy of the new year let us consider those who
are just emerging from their own infancy. We should
do no less.
Old +. T. Barnum once remarked that "a fool is born
every minute That, though, is going it rather strong
at the rate of 525, 600 a year. No wonder the world is
standing on its head.

RESOLUTERS AND DOORS.
Making resolutions is easy.

Making resolutions IS easy.
Breaking them is quite as easy.
This is the season when the resoluting citizen is busy
making new ones, just as he has been making them year
after year since he has been old enough to resolute.
As a community we are limited in numbers, but we pos
sess the brains and the power of will to do that which we
undertake if the same is within the bounds of reasonable
possibility.
"Resoluting' won't accomplish this result, but "do-
ing" will.
Therefore, let us forget the subject of resolutions and
concentrate on the more profitable one of daily perfor-
mances.
We can't expect to set the world afre with our energy
and our perseverance, but we can keep a small portion of
it warm and in a healthy and thriving condition.
Some people say it is better to make a good resolution
and break it than not to make it at all. Believe it, if you
like.
But to our mind the fellow who quietly goes to work and
does things is worth a dozenof those who spend their time
in making new resolutions that are never kept.
Be a performer in 1922.
The resoluter wastes too much time in explaining why
he didn't.

Chaplain Lazaron recited the Twenty
third Psalm, and presently the gather
ing WAS singing Nearer, My God, to
Thee"
The flag was rolled back, covering
Che newly acquired decorations of the
Unknown. Sergeant Woodfill and his
seven companions tenderly lifted the
casket They moved slowly from the
apse down the marble stairs and out
rines played Our Honored Dead"
Now the Unknown must have ex-
claimed at the beauty of the sight.
There in a broad, sweeping panorama
was the Capitol, his Capitol, with the
dome, the monument, the library, even
the station, standing out white and
clear through the gray haze from the
river; in the foreground, checkeboard
squares of cultivated land, alternating
with the green of the winter wheat
and the yellow of freshly plowed
Virginia soil; behind, the. snowy, i'm
posing amphitheater, and beyond a
curtain of trees.
Directly beneath him was a great
splash of black--his countrymen, thou
sands and thousands, with their hats
held reverently in their hands. Be-
tween them and the amphitheater was
the Unknown's grave, q white sar-
cophagus, hole in the ground, or
shriae, depending upon the point of
view. But even that could not alter
the fact that this hole was lined with
spotless marble and this we'll was the
center of pyramidal curbing.
The eight heroes bearing the I'm
known's earthly remains mounted the
top of the sarcophagIs and laid it on
straps of webbing that supported it on
level with the silver railing inclosing
the top of the crypt. The band was
playing Lead, Kindly Light" Now the
sun shone full on the casket.
Bishop Brent, or rather Chaplain
Brent, took his place at the head of
the sarcophagus and began to read the
burial service. An officer reached over
and touched the silver railing. AS

1t was entirely hidden as Bishop Brent,
in his soldiers uniform, commended
the unknown's soul to God and COM
mitted his body to the ground.
Representative Hamilton Fish jr., of
New York, himself of the A. T.. F.,
stepped forward and placed wreath
on the tomb. 1t was. from all the men
Of that fighting army. Then there was
another placed by Mrs. r. Emmet Dig

of the mothers of soldiers of the en-
pire, placed her Offering. Plenty Coos,
chief Of the Grow Nation, left four
other Indian chiefs in ceremonial cos
tune, and, hobhling with the uncer-
tainty of age, laid his coup stick, deco
rated with eagle feathers, across the
open top Of the tomb Then he removed
his war bonnet with its white feathers
that had trailed to his moccasined
heels and posted this as final tribute
to the white warrior.
There was salvo Of artillery. OF at

A bugler sounded "Taps," and with

burst forth with the first roar Of sa-

Overhead lowered the Unknown. On
the ground soldiers responded to COM
mands and began to lift their feet in
step on the long hike back to barracks.
Perhaps the Unknown, too, heard u
command. 1t might have been the
wind, but those on the ground were
sure they heard the slough, slough,
slough, slough of ghostly battalions
marching. With them marched the

But the attack WAS made with all
the relentless methodL Of modern
destruction. There WAS the rain Of
ruin from the aircraft, the thunder
of artillery, followed by the un-
speakable devastation wrought by
bursting shells; there were mortsrs
belching their bombs Of desolation;
machine guns concentrating their
leaden storms; there was the infzn-
try, advancing, firing, and falling
like men with souls sacrificing for the
decision. The flying missiles were
revealed by illuminating tracers, 80

appraise their dexdliness. The air
was stresked with tiny flames mark
ing the flight Of massed destruction;
while the effectiveness of the theo-
retical defense was impressed by the
stimulation Of dead and wounded
among those going forward, un-
daunted and unheeding. AS this
panorama Of unutterablc destruction
visualized the horrors Of modern con-
tlict there grew on me the sense of
the failure Of a civilization which
can leave it's problems to such cruel
arbitrament. Surely no one in su-
thority, with human attributes and
full appraisal Of the patriotic 10y
atty Of his countrymen, could ask the
manhood Of kingdom, empire or re-
public to make such sacrifice until
all reason had failed, until appeal
