Ado NEWS DISSEMINATED
BY CLUB BOYS AND GIRLS

Listening mr. on a country tele-
hone may have its thrills, but mem
yers Of boys and girls clubs who
listen in on the conversation of the
,orld with their radio receiving sets
ave an interest which comes not from
leighborhood gossip, but from getting
he morning report of the markets,
he weather forecast, and crop esti-
mates for all parts of the country.
IN a number OF states club members
within receiving distance of broad
casting stations located at the state
college of agriculture or elsewhere
are receiving information that takes
some OF the risks out Of the business
of farming. They post this informa-
tion in conspicuous places so that
neighhors may make use of it. The
work demonstrates the usefulness of
the radio as a piece of farm equip
ment.
Counties in New Jersey, Montana,
and Colorado have clubs that received
wireless messages last season. In
Kentucky, Nebraska and several other
states organization is under way.
The expansion of the radio has been
limited because of lack Of simple,
printed isntructions, but the recent
distribution Of circulars by the United
States Department of Agriculture on
The making of receiving sets has
been helpful to the boys and girls.
Through members of pig, dairy,
corr and other clubs who are receiv-
ing daily market information and the
estimated crop production, the entire
family and the community as well
NAV be benefited.

The United States, not only out o,
It's material resources but also by its
moral example, has done all that any
reasonable person could ask toward
reconstruction of Europe and promo
lion OF peace and prosperity through
out the world. In the face of this
record, Sir George Paish has the in
science to tell the people of the United
States that they have refused to aid
in the reconstruction Of Europe and
undertakes to advise them that in
order to manifest a cooperating spirit
they must enter a conference in
Europe chiefly political in its purposes
and concerned almost entirely with
European problems. No thoughtful
American should be misled by the
articles he is now disseminating with
the aid Of American newspapers.

INSOLENT PROPAGANDA

The persistency with which foreign
propa9andists urge the United States
to become cntangIcd in European po-
liticaI affairs ought to serve as an cf-
fectivc warning to the people OF the
country to be on their guard. There
is reason to believe that by the very
boldness of their attempt to mold pub
lie opinion here these British spokes-
men will defeat their own purposes;
nevertheless, it viii be the part Of
wisdom for Americans to answer
through the press and on the rostrum
the misleading arguments put forth
in the effort to cause the United
States to depart from its traditional
policy of independence from Euro
pean alliances.

Spokesman to lay his views before
American readers is Sir George Paish,
who, on a visit to this country a year
or so ago, made a special effort to
build sentiment in this country in be-
half Of cancellation OF debts due the
United States from European coun-
tries. At the present time he is writ
inc a series OF articles from Genoa
and is having them published in
America.
Evidently with the expectation that
ne will arouse the sympathies of
Americans and perhaps appeal to
their vanity, Sir George asserts that
never was the human race exposed
TO greater danger; that relief depends
upon the Genoa conference and that,
no nation can escape the consequent

JIM BECKWORTH, MULATTo
WHO BECAME CROW CHIEF

Jim Beckwourth, without doubt, was
the ~most-married man in history. Just
how many wives he had is unknown.
In his autobiography Jim mentions at
least seven sp0uses, but his reputation
for truth was not the best. Beck
Wourth was the son of Il Maryland
freshman and a negress, and he was
born in 1898. When he left st. Louis
with General Ashley's fur-trading ex-
petition in 1923 he had a sweetheart
named Eliza, to whom he pledged
eternal devotion.
Among the Blackfeet Indians he won
his first wife, marrying her because
it would help his trade among her
tribesmen! Soon afterwards he mar
ried her sister, too. Later he left the
~Blackfeet, to trade with the Crows,
and he acquired several more wives.
Jim was a man of great strength
and Il remarkable runner. One day
he was attacked by n war party who
pursued him for % miles before he
finally outran them. At another time
when Il force of 1900 Arikaras and
Sioux attacked the Crows. the mu-
latto led the Absarokes (Crows) so
bravely that 253 of the enemy were
killed. Beckwourth had three horses
shot under him in this fight and killed
II OF the Sioux. He was adopted by
the Crows, and because of his deeds in
war, he rose to the position of first
counselor, the highest honor In the
tribe. AZ j =
At the outbreak of the Mexican war
he enlisted as a scout and dispatch
bearer for Gen. Phil Kearney. He
also carried dispatches to California
and he was there in 1S4S, when gold
was discovered. He mined for "A while
until the discovery of gold in Colo
RADIO in 1853 lured him to that state.
He settled in Denver and married
again-tlis time a negro girl.
The Crows heard of his return from
California and sent messengers to him,
begging him to return to them. Mis-
fortune had come to the tribe, and
they needed his "strong medicine
Beckwourth paid no heed to their
pleadings until 1869, when he finally
visited them But he refused to live
with them permanently. When he
announced his intention of returning
to Colorado, they prepared "A great
farewell feast in his honor. Beck
wourth ate their food and dropped
dead. The Crows had given him poi
son. The Crows believed his "medi-
that . wherever his bones rested the
spirit would remain. They resolved
10 have both, and took that means OF
getting them!
