Illinois Man Gets Credit as Only

INDIAN CHIEFS LOSE TRICK
Many Of Them Confess Their lono.
rance OF Just How to Make Arrow
Heads-Are Identified by
Tribal Marks.

MISUNDERSTANDING of Indian ar
row heads has been reduced to its
first principles here by Herbert Wells
ray, custodian Of the Lincoln monu-
nleht, who has gained the distinction,
when 1t Is said until now has been
u~ndlsputed, of being the only white
man to make real arrow heads.
Indians are among the foremost in
crediting Mr.. Fay with this ability.
Drawn TO the last resting place of
Abraham Lincoln, various ~present-day
indian chiefs have openly confessed
their ignorance of Just how to make
arrow heads, and then have voiced
their surprise ut the excellent work
manship of the white man.
Finding that his arrows have been
taken for the work of real Indians,
Mr.. Fay no longer makes arrows of
but to prevent fraud uses only
glass.
Worked Near Dekalb.
His study of arrow heads was
largely ear his former home
Dekalb, in which vicinity, he said,
here had been seven Indian camps.

hungry, suffering for the want of
American cotton and clotton clothes.
Our cotton would be selling for soc

store our foreign markets. If we are

"Minnesota's highway program

gest success"
The bulletin gives first the
various revenues. 1t show that
about $20,O00,0O0 a year is being
spent on the so-called local roads
by the county. township, city
and village road officials. Also
that about $7,5OO,O00 of auto
taxes and federal aid. or a little
more than a quarter of the tota
for local roads, is being used by
the state department on the
1000 miles OF main highways
Like all other state funds, this
money is disbursed by the state
auditor and state treasurer and
is not handled by the highway
department. Items of road and

Prosecutions already have been

better roads to their business are

Besides accepting dealers tax
remittances without penalty

sheriffs later will levy on the

property as is necessary to cover

Their auto taxes would complete
ly pave their trunk routes in less
than five years if the revenue
was so used, but it is not and
other counties gain accordingly.
Local road and bridge tax
levies were cut more than
81 ,288,0O last year. Immediately
after the Babcock plan relieved
the counties of the heavy cos. of
improving and maintaining the
main roads taken over by the
state. Other reductions are sure
to follow and at the same time

Local road taxes, Of course, are
used in the counties. townships,
cities and villages making the
levies. and in that respect differ
from the state aid and motor
vehicle taxes, the bulletin ex-
plains.
For example. Hennepin, RAM
sey and St. Louis counties are
paying about 100000 a year
more state aid taxes than they
receive in division of the fund.
They receive in return less than
81 for each 81 paid in. They
pay nearly 40 per cent and get
back only 3 per cent, the differ
ence going to other counties for
their local roads.
Likewise, those three counties
are paying more than one third
of the auto taxes-nearly IS per
cent. Less than 5 per cent Of
