Prizes 70 H. S. Students
OF The Eastern Shor,

Too little has been done to call at,
rention to the glorious history and
tradition OF the Eastern Shore. We
all know that our section of the State
has always played a most important
role but not sufficient honor and re-
spact have been paid to the memory
OF those Eastern Shore men and
women who were creative factors in
Maryland History.
The Eastern Shore Society wants
to stimulate interest in all such mat
tiers with that end in view is offering
prizes to high school boys and girls
Of the Eastern Shore for historical
contributions. The terms OF the
contest are as follows:
IA prize of $40 is to be
awarded in each county of the
Eastern Shore for the best his
torical sketch written by stu
dent of that county.
2-The article must be writ
ten entirely by a member of the
class of 1923 of one Of the high
schools of that county
Sit must deal with the
Colonial period ending July
4th. 1875.
At must either be biogra-
phical sketch of one Of the resi-
dents of that county or of some
one very closely associated with
it, or it must deal with some
event or events directly con-
cerned with the history of the
county.
SIT must be between 1000
to 1900 words in length.
cit must be submitted to
the committee on or before No
vember 18th. 1922.
IA special additional prize
will be given for the sketch sub
mitted in the contest irrespec-
tive of from what county it

arrangements will be
made for the awarding Of the
prizes and for the presentation
of the articles. Plans are I'M
der consideration to make that
occasion unique and worthy OF
the best traditions of the Eastern
Shore Society.
9-These prizes will be Of
fered annually.
| The success of these contests vii
doubtless lead to more ambitious ef
forts on the part of the Eastern
| Shore Society. We have a number
! of plans in mind for attempting tt

STANDING BEAR WINS LIBERTY
BY HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
Bv ELMO SCOTT WATSON

nECE upon time a writ OF hapeas
" corpus was invoked in behalf OF
an Indian and the decision in his case
marked a new epoch in the conduct OF
our Indian affairs. That man was
Standing Bear MOn-chu-non-zhin),
chief Of the Poncas.
In 1877 the government decided to
remove Standing Bears people from
their ancestral homes in Nebraska to
Indian Territory. In spite Of his op-
position, he and nine other chiefs were
taken south to choose a reservation.
They would not select place, where-
upon the agent refused them trans
portation home.
At night they slept in haystacks'
shivering with the cold. Their only
food was raw corn which they found
in the fields. Their m0ccasins wore
out. After so days they reached the
Otoe reservation in Nebraska ana as
they walked into the agents Office
they left bloody footprints on the
floor. Ten days later they RODE
wearily into their home camp on
ponies which the OtOes had given
them.
In their absence an official Of the
Indian department arrived to remove
the POncas by force. Accepting the
Inevitable, Standing Bear prepared 70
retrace his steps. After terrloie
Journey, during which two Of Standing
Bears children died, the discouraged
Poncas settled in their new homes.
Within a year third Of the tribe per-
ished. Then Standing Bears favorite
son died. In January, 1879. he took
the bones Of his sons, and starteo
once more to Nebraska.
Two months later they arrived desp'
tute at the Omaha reservation. They
borrowed land and seed from the
Omahas and were preparing to put IN
a crop when soldiers appeared to ar
rest and return them to Indian Ter
ritory. Then public sentiment inter
i vened. Two white lawyers offered u
defend the Poncas and sued out
writ Of habeas corpus.
Although attorneys for the Anuial
department contended that Indians
were mot persons within the meaning
OF the law" Judge Dundy ruled agains
them and ordered the prisoners re
leased. "Once / avenged my wrong
with the tomahawk," said Standing
Bear" but the white mans way Is oet
ter. l lay the tomahawk down TOT
ever"
BY this time Standing Bears cas-
had attracted national attention ant
a senate investigation Of the Ponca re
moyal resulted in restoring them U
their old homes. Here September Q
1908, Standing Bear died at the az
Of eighty years.

New York.-Gen. II. 81. Topakyan.
Persian consul general to the United

his experiences In Abyssinia:
During the lifetime Of King Meme

New York.-The analysis Of corn In
the seed and at various stages OK
growth, In the course Of experiments
by DR.. Benjamin Harrow and others
at the College Of Physicians and Sur
geons, has indicated that the vita
mines are either produced by the sun
as chlorophyll or that the production
of vitamines depends on chlOrophyll.
'The seed corn does not gain in its
vitamine content when 1t sprouts" he
said. "The vitamines seem to be the
same In number. But as it shoots up
and begins to turn green, the vitamines
increase rapidly"
So far 1t Is believed that vita
mines OF all types are produced origi-
nally by plants alone, and are not to
be found in soil or nOn-organic COM
pounds or in living things except as
the result Of vegetable food which con-
tains them. This Is hard to reconcile
with the fact that the greatest known
concentration Of vitamines is in the
liver Of the cod which lives on an
exclusive fish diet. CLANS and other
