eve are planning, for ourselves,
to improve our social and educational
conditions, and we want our fellow
citizens of Delaware to know, as
descendants from the Nanticoke
Tribe. that in US beat the same warm
and sympathetic hearts that greeted
the first white men who landed on
the shores of this Continent. We
want to be known for what we are

and malice toward none.
1--WE hope that in the future when
reports are made we may be recog-
nized as an element in the population
of our beloved county and State.
1--WE are pleased TO have Miss Tan

others from distant places with US at
this time, and we welcome our guests
and friends most cordially"
DIR. Speck Tells of History
DR.. Speck spoke of the history of
the Nanticoke Indians from the time
of their first discovery down to the
present. He said in part: with the
account of Capt. John Smith, 1908,
we hear for the first time of the
tribe. Then, after Il period of hostil-
tiles. between 1911 and 1913, the
Nanticokes are seldom mentioned, but
by l74l many Of the Maryland In
dams started on a journey to Can
ada, where they joined the tribes of
the Six Nations. The Indian descend
ants in Sussex County, Delaware, are
oirsprings of that part of the tribe
that remained at home
Jefferson Was Interested
In 1899 Thomas Jefferson took an
interest in the Nanticokes, who then
were residing on the Choptank river
in Maryland. He had a DR.. Murray
to visit them and take down their
language, after tracing the history
of the Nanticokes and their more
modern descendants"
DR.. Speck spoke Of the other or
CARNATIONS in the East and how they
We're trying to preserve their blood
and traditions. He mentioned the
debt the world owes to the American
Indians. stating that they were the
first to give to the world such i'm
pcrtdnt articles as corn, tobacco, GER
tain finds Of beans. squashes, cocoa
quinine. ipecac and many other
medicines
Prof John o. Clark, of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania, spoke as fol
lows:
During the last summer it was my
privilege to visit your Indian broth
ers in South America. Upon the An
dean Plateau lives the Iuichua In
dans, the direct descendants of the
famous Incas. Their language would
be strange one to you and THEN

Ndnficoke Indian Association
Has Thanksgiving Anniversary
Chief Clark Receives Name Of Wyniaco After Last
Noted Werowance, And Tells Tribe Of The
Progress Made.

Georgetown, Del, Dec. 12.-Head-
ed by their chief, William Russell
Clark, who has been instrumental IN
organizing them into a tribe, the
Nanticoke Indian Association of Del
aware, the members Of which are
mainly to be found in Lower Della
ware occupying well cultivated farms
in the vicinity of the Indian river,
held their first annual anniversary at
River Dale Park, near Oak Orchard,
on Thanksgiving Day. Most of the
members of the tribe were present,
as well as many visitors.
The tribe, under charter of Della
ware, few months ago was recog-
nzed and at once their chief set to
work to organize them in order that
their social and educational advan-
tages may be broadened.
The address of welcome, made by
Chief Clark, follows:
"The first Thanksgiving Day was
held just 300 years ago and on that
day was the first meeting of the
white men and the Indians. They
came together on that day in peace.
On this Thanksgiving Day, they have
once more come together in Indian
fashion, out of door, in peace.
I'm the name of the Nanticoke In
dian Association, | welcome you all
both white and red.
Association One Year Old
"But we come together today not
to celebrate an event which happened
300 years ago, but one that is fan
more important to US than that far
Off Thanksgiving Day. One year age
today. due to the efforts of many OF
our people or race, who had long
worked for unity among ourselves
the Nanticoke Indian Association
came into being.
For many years we have felt the
necessity of forming some sort Of ;
tribal organization, whereby We
might be officially recognized as the
descendants of the Nanticoke Indians
who for so many years roamed these
lands. Today we have such an or
ganlzation.
To-day the Nanticoke Indian Asso
citation is recognized by the State Of
Delaware as an organization working
to develop its social and tribal wei
fare. also for culture along moral anc
literary lines.
Have Scientific Recognition
During the past year we have helc
social meetings. We also have haC
recognition from several social anC
scientific associations of Washington
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New
York. We have had communication.
from our Indian brothers in Virginia
Maine, South Carolina and Connecti
cut.
"We have Miss Tantaquidgeon, ;
delegate from the Mohegan Tribe

Association. have already taker

relations are different, too, in spite
of centuries of Spanish rule. They
show their Indian characteristics eve
as you do yourselves. Furthermore
in Ecuador, where | spent most o.
my time with the Indians, they con-
stitute over 60 per cent. of the peo-
pie. In fact, toward the east the
Indian braves are sole masters of the
land and permit no white settlers
among them.
"The message that | want to bring
to YOU today is that the Indians are
not a vanishing race, but living,
flourishing race, whether it be in
Ecuador, Mexico, Canada Or the Stat
Of Delaware. The one thing thi
holds a people together and m
them great is pride of race. As =,
as you have that and as long as
are justly proud of the blood

know il well. First, there is in yo
blood little Of the blood of t
white man. The white man has DO.
his faults and his virtues. He is
energetic masterfu in all things.
Whether these qualifications or quail
tiles are good or bad you share them,
for you have the blood Of the white
man in you.
"Some OF your traditions speak of
the landing Of band of Moorish
pirates down at Lewes, Del, who
married in with the native tribes of
that vicinity. You may not know so
much about the history of the Moors,
but we can read in our histories how
they conquered Spain which later
conquered half of the world. They
were a cultured people, the teachers
of Western Europe in mathematics
and in architecture.
NanticOkes Made Best Arrows.
above all, you have in your veins
the blood of the Nanticokes, your
fore fathers, who roamed these lands
for so many years in peace. You
farmers who work the fields find their
darts, stone tools, etc. Your ances-
tors were the best arrow makers in
the country-masters of their trade.
They were second to none. In your
barnes you have the corn mortar,
which is as Indian as Pocohontas. In
your homes the women folk practice
many, many Indian customs, and
about your firesides you pass on In
dian traditions You are the Red
Men of the land, bred on the land, as
old as the land Above all, you have
reason to be proud of your blood
"My great-great- grandmother was
an Indian. am only little bit
Indian, but | am proud of it, and were
able to gather all of that Indian
blood in one place | think | should
want it to be in my tongue, where /
could always speak well of my
friends, the Nanticokes, or in m!
heart, which always beats with sym.
pathy and best wishes for you"
Miss Gladys Tantaquidgecn, of the
Mohegan Tribe, gave report of the
progress of her tribe in Norwich,
Conn. She stated they were in very
thriving and prosperous condition.
She gave a talk along educational
lines and expressed the hpoe that the
Indians. in general. would keep in
touch with each other and endeavor
to seek at all times for advancement.
At the close of the meeting DIR.
Speck bestowed the name of the last
noted chief. Wyniaco, upon Chief
William Russell Clark.

MANNER OF HANDLING TREES
Much Loss Caused by Lack Of Ex-
perience and Skill In Caring
for Nursery Stock.

Many persons inexperienced In han
ding trees lose number of trees in
setting an orchard because of their
lack Of skill or acquaintance with
handling such plants. 1t must be re-
membered that from the time the trees
leave the soil Of the nursery until
they are firmly planted in the or
chard, the roots should be exposed to
the air as little as possible, and espe-
clally to air that is moving rapidly,
or which Is dry. Trees should not be
left with their roots exposed to the
sun or wind any longer than can pos
sibly be avoided. When waiting to be
planted they should be heeled in, that
Is, have their roots covered with moist
soil, and should be taken out only as
actually needed for immediate plant
ing.

quire supports. These varieties should
be followed by the large wrinkled type
of peas, such as the Champion of
England, Telephone, and Prize Taker.
The large-grOwing varieties should be
supported on brush, OH strings at
tached to stakes driven in the ground,
or on wire netting. In order to have
continuous supply of peas, plant
ings should be made every ten days
or two weeks until warm weather.
Peas should be planted in late sum-
mer and autumn for the fall garden,
for which the early varieties are more
desirable than the late ones.
Peas should be planted about 10
seeds to the foot, two to three inches
deep, In rows three to four feet apart.
Some gardeners, however, follow the
practice Of planting In double rows
six inches apart, with the ordinary
space Of three to four feet between
these pairs of rows. This Is a good
practice with varieties requiring sup
port, as the supports can be placed
In the narrow space between the rows.
