Dundee lead in practically every
round and forced Hart to the ropes
to avoid punishment in the final
session.
Hart assumed the offensive at
the start and tried to swap

clever blocking, together with his
sharp hitting and ring generalship.

The second and third generations
of wampum making Campbells
supplied much wampum to John
Jacob Astor. who used it in buy

probably Mr.. Aston who opened up
the way for the Campbells' extern

and in the far west, which has last

manufacture is now very rapidly
dying, as the Indians have become
more and more civilized and ac-
customed to the intrinsic value of
the white mans money Yet some
wampum is still made on the New
Jersey Coast.
A Wampum Workshop
The interior of a wampum work
shop is as different as it is possible
to be from a regulation mint In
fact in its primative nature it more
nearly resembles a limekiln. The
floors are hidden from sight by
great heaps of shells, and the rude
benches and tools are covered en-
tirely with white-hying dust as the
shells are being ground and drilled.

also employed it in their ceremo-
MES and as badge of authority.
Among other traditions explain
ing how wampun first came to be
used, the IroQuois have one to the
effect that once Hiawatha, on a
journey, came to a little lake, and
was wondering how to cross it
when flock of ducks appeared and
settled on the water. When they
few away, the water had disap-
peared, and Hiawatha, looking on
the dry bed of the lake, saw that
it was covered with shells. OF
these he made the first wampum.
Despite this legend and similar
ones, however, it is believed that
the earliest wampum was made of
small pieces of wood of equal size,
stained black or white. Porcupine
quilts are also said TO have been
used. Later, wampum was made
from shells, sometimes of the
fresh-watcv varieties, but generally
of sea-shells. The best wampum
was made from the hearts of the
common hard clam of Long Island.
While she'll beads were early
manufactured by the Indians along
the Atlantic shore, theyswere rare
West of the Hudson River before
the seventeenth century. With the
arrival of the coionists, the Indians
were supplied with tools which
made 1t possible for them to work
a greater variety of shells and to
produce more finished work.
Paying Fare With Wampum

the Indians almost solely as

When sufficient number of
cubes are completed they are then
smoothed and polished with emery
paper and strung on wires, pre-
cisely the same as children string
beads, and they are then ready for
the market. The wampum that is
made from the strcaked. blush
parts of hard-clam shells is the
most beautiful, and therefore more
valuable, and is harder and tough
er to work. The price paid for the
products of this now almost obso-
lete industry is IA cents a running
inch on the string, and the average
amount of money made by these
she'll money makers is about SO a
day during the season.
Origin of Wampun
In the Hall of the Indians of the
Woodlands, in The American
Museum OF Natural History, New
York, may be seen case contain

looking white and purple beads.
This is wampun. and was used as

in no way resembles United States
coinage. Nevertheless in certain
sections Of the West it was once
quite extensively used for sale and
barter, and is still limitedly en-
ployed. In brief this money" is
what has always been known to
the Indians as wampum and for
long time, after the arrival of the
white man, it was very much more
valuable TO the original inhabitants
OF America than the white mans
coinage. In fact the Indians
loathness to dispense with his
wampum is the reason for the ex-
istence right down to our time of
a demand for this primitive cur
rency.
Whites Manufacture Indian Money
The Indians, OF course, were the
first wampum makers but when il
became a medium of exchange for
the early colonists and traders the
white men took up its manufacture
and have continued to make it long
years after the Indians themselves
have stopped doing so.
There are several reasons for
this but the principal one is that
BY the encroachment of the set
tiers upon their territory, the In
dams have been gradually driven
away from the sea to the interior
plains where the proper shells for
the manufacture of wampum are
not obtainable. The white man
living near the coast can, however,
still secure alt the sea shells re-
CURED. Thus the Indians have
come to depend entirely upon
them for their wampum-
A Family Affair

During a Bolshevist labor dis
pute in Moscow recently some
printers, turning out paper money
for the Government, struck for
higher wages. The strike was nm
ally settled by an agreement that
each printer should be entitled to
the amount of money he could
turn out in one hour each day,
printing the notes for himself not
higher in denomination than 500
rubles.
When, in comparison, we con-
slider how Uncle Sam manufac-
lures our money down in Wash
ington and at the several rnints
and how carefully every penny is
guarded against loss this loose
method of money making in Rus
STA at present seems almost unbe-
lievable to a good many Amer
leans.
A Private Mint
Yet il is a fact that at the pres
ent day a certain form of money
once widely current IN America but
now quite unknown to most peo-
ple is manufactured in this coun-
try in just as free and easy man
ner as anything the Bolshevists
might attempt Moreover. it is no
more counterfeit than the Russian
coinage, although our Government
has nothing to do with its produc-
ton and does not in any way rec
ognize it as specie.
Quite recently there was placed
on exhibition ip the Bergen Coun-
ty, New Jersey, Historical Society
a private money making machine
which had been in use for nearly
one hundred years, no less than
four generations of one family EN-
ploying it for extensive money
making purposes. With this an

arises: What are the operatives of

a penny, the black beads az four
for a penny. The use of wampum
as money among the colonists of
New York was continued until 1900
at least, as at that time, according
to an old record, "the ferriage for
each single person from New York
to Brooklyn was eight stivers in
wampunn, or a silver two pence"
Wampum AS Ornaments
Messengers from one tribe of
Indians to another used strings
and belts of wampum as creden-
tials. In time the articles made of
wampum came to have great SYM
bolical importance dependent on
the colors and arrangement of the
beads. They were also used az
memory aids to the keepers of the
oral traditions of the Indians.
While, as a medium of exchange,
the dark beads were rated higher
than the light and white beads, for
symbolical purposes, these latter
beads, however, were suspicious
while the dark ones were inauspi-
cious, having to do. in the mes
seseS vi iSSoiuS with oSdth, war,
etc
Wampum was also worn for
ornament by the Indians, both
men and women. 1t was worked
into collars, necklaces, ear pend
ants, bracelets, armlets, girdles,
anklets and headdress decoration.
"Wampum pipes" long tubular
she'll beads of about the length of
the common pipe-stem, and per-
forated disc-shaped shells, as we'll
as shells ground into vario-s
shapes including the forms of ami
mails, were also in common use at
one time by the Indians.

With no one in sight to stop them,
the New York Giants look to be sure
pennant winner this year. Their victory
would be pleasing in New York but it
will not help baseball.
Complaints about buying the pen
nant have been made all over the Ma
tional League, so much so that the prac-
tice of getting stars by cash has be
come an absolute menace to baseball
Commissioner Lands is aware of the
dangers, as was evidenced by his re-
fusal to let the Giants have Heinie
Groh in the middle of the season last
year.
He is still at hls crusade this year,
as was shown by his drastic action in
1.-the Kenworthy ease in the Pacific
Coast league.
Other little bubbles are coming to
the surface in the major leagues.
John McGraw, manager of the
Giants, went before the National Leag-
,ue owners recently aud asked to have
investigated the story that came re-
Gently from Cincinnati that he had
offered the Reds $150,00O for Eddie
Roush, outfielder, and Pete Donahue.
the best young pitcher in the league.
McGraw denied that he had made
any such offer and he said he was tir
sed of being charged with tampering
with the players on other clubs.
If he didn t know that the publica
tion of that story would get him in
bad with Lands, he never would have
taken the trouble to- have the story re-
pudiated-if he could repudiate it.

The two New York clubs have the
most money in baseball and if the prac-
tice of buying players is not stopped,
there will be no such thing as pennant
races in a few years.
When TIE Giants are slumping, as
the Pirates have been, the boys have
to 60 home TO laugh. McGraw hasn I
the keen sense of humor that George
Gibson seems to possess.
Once in a great while a real sports
man appears in the professional ranks,
Such as BeD Block, owner of Norwich,
who sacrificed the possibility of a
wonderful record just to keep his word.
Months ago Block promised New
Workers to give them their first look
at his Kentucky Derby winner in the
Carlton Stakes at Aqueduct.
Twenty thousand fans went out to
the track. They did not know that the
great Norwich was not in form and that
he was facing almost sure defeat IN
spotting fifteen pounds to Whlskaway,
the fleet Whitney colt.
Before the race, Blocks trainer told
him that Norwich stood to be beaten
and that he ought to be scratched.
Block answered by saying that he
had promised to show his star and
weEe there to see him. He
must keep his word.
Norwich started. He was beaten by
eight lengths and humiliated, but Block
felt that he had kept his word.

Good Year for Valley Honey :

Good Year for Valley Honey = Ac-
cording to c.. T. Austin, county apiary
inspector, indications point to an in
creased output of honey from Imperial
valley this year, to keep pace with the
bumper grapefruit, lettuce and canta-
loupe crops. Production of honey is
fast becoming an important industry
instead of by product, even few
hives yielding handsome profit with
little expense to the owner. Due to the
abundance of wild flowers in bloom
this spring, apiaries situated near the
though those in the interior are in
somewhat poorer condition. Last year
Imperial valley produced 100000 pounds
of honey which commanded topnotch
prices. Honey is extracted in May,
June and July, and again in Septem-
Der, the bees taking a vacation in
August. Each hive will average about
three gallons of honey in a season. The
normal market here pays about rs
cents a pound.
j. II. Porter of Ell Centre, has three
large apiaries southwest of town and
states that he expects to beat all his
former records in the production of
honey this year.
