The Usage tribe recently held a pro-
longed fiesta In celebration of the re-
ceipt of fresh oil royalties from the
government. Their latest collections
totaled $25, 126,SOO, which, divided
among the 1929 Usage Indians who
constitute the tribe, amounts to a per
capita share of $4,000 every quarter.
In addition to this oil royalty, each In
dian is owner of 700 odd acres allotted
to them by congress in 1907. The gov
eminent holds their capital, and makes

German Town Adopts
New Tuition Fee Plan

Munster, Germany.-The school sys-
tenn of the little Westphalian town of
Oelde, near here, has been placed al
most entirely on butter-barley basis.
Pupils pay their high school fees in
fats and grain, which in turn are
spent" for school maintenance pur-
poses.
Children from Oelde are assessed a
pound of butter monthly while pupils
from the country districts may pay
either in butter or barley, forty pounds
of barley month.
The proceeds thus collected have
gone to assist in buying the schools
winter coal supply and to reimburse,
in part the teachers who gratefully
receive butter or barley in preference
to the constantly depreciating paper
mark.

that you will start us all figuring out
things that we have to be thankful
for when you make q remark like that,
and it will be an awful bore?'
"There's one thing" announced the
timid boarder in a still, small voice
from away down at the obscure end
of the table There's one thing" he
repeated after clearing his throat.
"And what is itY' asked the polite
boarder, recklessly.
1.-THE thing for US to be thankful for
at Thanksgiving Is that it Is so near
Christmas"
"oh, yesI" cried the pretty teacher,
enthusiastically.
YES" continued the timid boarder,
greatly encouraged, 80 near Christ
mas, and yet not too near"
"That gives us two things to be
thankful for" commented the mathe-
NAUTICAL boarder, counting on his fin
gers. First, that Thanksgiving is SO
near Christmas second, that Thanks
giving is so far from Christmas"
'Tm thankful that it doesn't come
near the Fourth of July" declared the
fat and saucy boarder. 1.-THE arrange
ment of our holidays throughout the
year is exactly right. We have one
egg-eating holiday per annum-name-
ly, Easter-which comes In the spring.
We have one holiday devoted to the
eating of fried chicken and ice cream
namely, the Fourth of July. The
Thanksgiving holiday In the fall is
sacred to turkey and pumpkin pie, and
Christmas to plum pudding and mince
pie.'
"One festival sacred to new hats
and flowers" burst out the poetic
boarder, zone devoted to speeches, pa
triotism and plcnics, one for family
reunions, and one for the giving Of
presents"
"As said before" resumed the
timid boarder, Thanksgiving is just
the right distance from Christmas.
We can say to ourselves: we can't
get a turkey or a new suit Of clothes
or a new house or a new automobile
this Thanksgiving, but Christmas will
soon be here, and then we'll have ev-
erything Well have more money
at Christmas time than we have now,
and things will be easier generally.
The boss and the bachelor millionaire
that we were so kind to will probably
send us a check. Everybody looseRs
up at Christmas time if ever.
$50 we can be thankful at Thanks
giving time that we are so near q
good feed and the season when people
are apt to come across, thus enabling
US to loosen up and come across
little ourselves maybe"
Which message Of good cheer bright
ened up all the faces around the table,
even causing the boarder in arrears to
smile slightly.

Charles v. Vickrey, President of the
International Near East Association
and General Secretary of the Near

and his associates are busy planning
for international observance OF Sum

On this day millions of families IN

affiliated and cooperating organiza--

international goodwill and, as a prac-

principle, to serve dinner approx

day in the year to the orphan chill

Relief and to contribute the differ

and the usual Sunday dinner to the

"Fufly five hundred million people
in Europe, Asia, Africa, America and
Australia, or nearly one-half the pop.
ulation of the globe, are adherents OF
religions that, in some form, proclaim
the Golden Rule as a guide In lite"
Mr.. Vickrey said.
Certainly if, through no fault OF
ours, it had been our lot TO die in the
late war and if our children had been
left not only without parents or rela-
tives, but also without country, we
would hope that some co-religionist or
other phiianthropist would provide for
Our children at least the necessities OF
life and an opportunity for attaining
self-support.
MANY families and nations regard
themselves as poor while INDUCING in
wasteful, non-productive expenditures
and consumption of luxuries, the value
of which would save less fortunate
family or nation from starvation.
Luxurious living and self indulgence
may be as injurious to the prosperous
as undernourishment and starvation
to the less fortunate.

WHY NOT THINK FOR YOURSELF OVER QUESTIONS VITAL TO YOU

The Seward Light and Power Com pany claims to have less than 200 customers on it's lines, taking current for all purposes whatever. These POO customers will average less than $15 per month each, for service, in cluding telephone. In case a new power plant is constructed there must be machinery bought, house built poles erected, wires strung, and sev eral thousand dollars invested in me ters. To install these meters will cost the city about $500 each, which must be charged to the customer. The GUS toner must therefore pay for labor, machinery, poles, transmission, me- ters and current. All this must come out of the service, besides interest on money borrowed amounting to $6,000 on each $100000 borrowed, and pay ments of 5000 per annum. This must be raised somehow. If the town can not meet it's obligations now, how can it meet the extra expense entail ed in running a light plant. There are also interest, breakdowns, and depre- citation to be reckoned with. Who will make up the deficit if there is one?

quiet and the undertone of the mar

Copper was somewhat easier. with

there has been no special pressure OF
offerings. March shipments were held
at slightly higher prices.
Tin was steady, with buyers indif-
ferent. January arrivals were ex-
pected to be light and premiums were
asked for nearby shipment.
Lead was firm. The output was ex.

eral deliveries into consumption.
Zinc continued steady with no pres

Anthony was quiet. although de-
mand was expected to increase with
