ment with Southern Ma
'tion Is Near Completion

Washington, Aug. 21.-A plan de-
signed as the ground work of new
structure of friendship and amity be-
tween the United States and Mexico
was laid formally before the Ameri-
can government upon the return to
Washington of the two commission
ers appointed by President Harding
to negotiate a rapproachment with
the government of General Oregon.

leagues on the international COM
mission, will not be revealed for the
present nor will responsible officials
make any prediction as to the future
course of the Washington admins
tration until there has been a care
full study of the entire project. New
ertheless, the steps already taken
have aroused in official circles an
apparent feeling of confidence that
the long-cOntinued breach between
the two republics Of the North Amer
icah continent may be closed at last.
Report To Hughes -
Mr.. Warren and Mr.. Payne called
on Secretary Hughes Immediately af-
ter their arrival from Mexico City

1900 INDIANS
JOIN IN FAIR
AT Fl. YATES
Annual Indian Fair to be
Filled with Pageantry of
History
FINE DISPLA Y

About l 800 Indians on the Stand
ing Rock reservation are planning t,
make their twelfth annual fair d,
Fort Yates, Aug. %, 80, 81 the fines,
aud biggest in their history.
From year to year the Indians
proudly make collections and prepare
for their fair Of the next year. This
interest in the success Of the affair
may be due to the fact that about
half of the Indians take part in the
races. broncho busting, pageantry,
and dances that are important fea-
lures Of the occasion. The old In
dians direct the pageantry and dan
cling, for in it is portrayed the his
tory of the tribes and individuals
while the younger generation pre-
rares the displays Of grain and other
year to year.
The fair grounds this year are de-
signated by the huge circle Of tents
which surround the buildings con-
tanning the individual displays,
In centrally located places are
the old styles Indian tents bear
ing pictures of the history of the
tribes. This gives the fair u conspicu-
Gus and distinctive character that
only om Indian fair possesses.
Horse and pony races will be i'm
portant features of the celebration;
the awarding Of prizes for grain and
live stock will occupy an important
place, but to the person who loves
to see nation unfold its past, the
Indian dances, four different ones
each evening, in which the best dan
GERS are given prizes and the old In
dian games, will probably hold forth
the greatest invitation. In the dances
the individuals dance separately
each portraying HIS own history, his
own deed, and syhbolizing the sig
nificance of the name which he bears.
There is much individuality in the
dances, for no two are alike and yet
all have the characteristic Indian
style.
Supplying music for the dance will
be the tom-tom players who must be
experts to really produce music on
their drum-like instruments. There
will be singing of old Indian songs
and the playing of Indian games
shinney, moccasin, and others-con
tests, and feats of strength.
The bead work and the porcupinc
work done by the women and the
sewing of the school girls are all un-
usually fine. Many people come long
distances to see the bead work, for It |
is rapidly becoming one of the lost
arts with the younger generation.
Much Of the value Of the old dances
and singin gis due to the fact that it is
the old Indians who direct it as they
remember it from their own parents
and themselves took part in it during
the early days. Only few of the
Indians who were with Sitting Bull
at the Custer Massacre are now alive.
Thomas Frosted is president of the
Fair association, and Ben White, Sec
rotary, with large staff of assist
ants.

Reports Show
City Babies Have
Best Chance

Chicago. Aug. 2l.-Some urban
communities, in spite Of the crowds,
are healthier places for babies than
many rural districts, according to
the Infant Welfare Society Of Chi
cago. A study Of the mortality
charts for cities and for the country
shows that babies born in crowded
cities have better start in life than
children in the country, the society
reports. "This Of course is not be-
cause Of the crowds, but in spite of
them." says the report. land is a
condition made possible through the
education Of the mothers even be.
fore the babies are born.
1T is owing to the fact that we
find organizations such as the Infant
Welfare Society fighting q battle
against ignorance, which has cost a
heavy toll in infant lives in cities
such as Chicago, and that We find
health departments carrying on the
work Of instruction, that in spite of
tenements, crowds and hot waves.
through education, lives are being
saved each year. We must replace
the old idea that the country IL q
healthier place with the idea that ed
ucation may make almost any COM
mnnity healthy place. :"
