No Pure Guaranis Left

While there are plenty Of wild In
dams in parts Of Paraguay, no living
man ever saw a p~ure-blooded Guarani.
Inhabiting the ~alluvial and easily ac-
cessible sections, they were conquered
and assimilated by the Spanish cen
turtles ago, ceasing to exist as a sep
arate people.
The common people of Paraguay,
however, speak Guarani more readily
than Spanish and nearly all place
names are in the language. It Is a
very simple tongue with a total vo-
cabulary Of less than 800 words. The
only numerals are l, 2, 3 and 4.
Cleanliness was a virtue of the
Guaranis. No matter how ragged and
di~lapidated a Paraguayan peon may
be his clothes and his person are
clean. That he was not unskilled in
certain artistic crafts is shown by the
exquisite nanduty lace, peculiar TO
Paraguay, the most sheer, cobwebby,
delicately beautiful thing of its kind
in all the world. The art of making
1t has been lost.-Detroit News.

Oregon's Famous Dog

A collie dog of ~Silverton, Oregon,
who, having lost his master in Indi-
ana, and when his master had given
up all hopes of ever seeing him again
returned on foot to the old home,
f~ootsore and weary, having travel
ed 5000 miles across seven states in
winter.
The dog, which but a few months
ago was just plain collie, has now be-
come nationally famous. He has
been given the freedom of his home
city, although there is an ordinance
which bars dogs from the streets.
He was presented with a silver medal
by the Oregon Humane Society,
while all the school children honored
him with a great reception.
Mr.. Brazier, the owner of the dog,
has had many offers from moving
picture concerns to film Boobies
trip across the continent. The Col
umbia Feature Film Syndicate of
Portland, Oregon, was organized to
take a ~three-reel picture which will
depict adventures in the life of a dog
which has lost his master, is friend
less, footsore and unhappy, with his
home one thousand leagues toward
the sunset. Millions will be permit
ted to see Bobbie. who will appear

Winnebago Indians Like
to Wear Fancy Clothes

As clothing the early Winnebago
wore a breechclout, moccasins. leg
gings and robes of dressed skins. The
advent of the French trader added
to their dress, but at all times we
find both men and women combing
their hair straight back, parted in
the middle and tied behind their heads
in braids, later decorated by ribbons.
Thomas Anderson, who spent a winter
trading with them on the Rock river
in 1902, said that they were the most
filthy, most obstinate and bravest peo-
pie Of any Indian tribe. When the
French came they added blankets to
their garb, white for winter and bright
colors for the summer.
In the governors reception room in
the state capitol at Madison, Wis. the
surrender of the noted Chief Red Bird,
which ended the Winnebago war in
1925, is cleverly depicted, Red Bird.
the prisoner, is pictured as having one
side of his face painted red, the other
intermixed with green and white,
clothed in a Yankton suit of dressed
elkskin, perfectly white and as soft
as d kid glove. 1t consisted of a
jacket, ornamented with a fringe Of
the same material and enriched with
blue beads.
On bis feet ne wears moccasins, and
on each shoulder, in place of an epau-
lette, is fastened a stuffed red bird.
Around his neck hang strands of wan
pum of various lengths, and he holds
a war pipe in his hand, ornamented
with dyed horse hair and feathers Of
birds.--Detroit News.

oner mash lightly in the plant rows
or about the plants that have been
set out. If the mixture is prepared in
the morning and allowed to stand
until about shutdown, giving it a
chance to become thoroughly moist
ened and then spread on the ground
in the evening, the results will US
ually be more satisfactory. If spread
during the day the bait becomes dry
and unattractive before the cut
worms appear in the evening. The
treatment should be repeated if the
first application fails to get them all.
Potatoes
Under most conditions it is best
to cut potato seed into two
pieces. Smaller pieces may give
good results if not planted too early
or too deeply. On non-irrigated
land it may be desirable to plant
slightly larger pieces. Each piece
should contain at least one eye and
it is we'll to cut the potatoes length
wise to insure including some of the
eyes at the end. The seed
time, as seed de~teriorates rapidly at
should not be cut until planting
ter cutting. Planting time varies,
but it is well not to plant earlier
than two weeks before the last kill
ing frost in the spring.
Some of the best early varieties
are Early Six Weeks, Irish Cobbler,
and EARLY Triumph. Russell Burbank
Green Mountain and Rural New
Yorker are good late potatoes. Rus
set Burbank does not do well under
no~n-irrigated conditions and Green
Mountain is one of the best for such
conditions.

PRACTICAL ADVICE
FOR THE GARDENERS

Montana A. C. Extension Service)
The month Of May is the critical
time with most home gardens. Then
it is that the garden shows its first
signs of promise and then it is that
innumerable obstacles spring up to
destroy the efforts Of the gardener.
As the garden thrives, weeds and in
sects thrive also.
The best advice regarding the
weed problem, is to start hoeing ear
~ in the season and repeat frequent
ly. When weeds are allowed to get
a good start they are harder to re-
move and in the meantime they have
robbed the soil of considerable plant
food and moisture which otherwise,
would have been available for the
plants. When the hoeing job is done
it is necessary to go through the gar
den and remove the weeds, that have
escaped the hoe, by hand.
Certain of the insects are especial
ly destructive during the early part
Of the season when plants are young
and food for the hungry pests is
scarce. Their v-oraciousness makes
them especially destructive to plants
but also makes them an easy victim
to mans poisons. Those insects that
eat the leaves and stems of plants
may be killed by mixing one pound
of powdered ~arsenate of lead with
three pounds of powdered air-slack-
ed lime,-placing this in a sack made
of two thicknesses of cheesecloth
and busting powder mixture on the
plants. Plant lice and other insects
that suck the juices of the plants
without eating the tissue may be
sprayed with soap and nicotine
The Cut Worm
To leave the garden in the evening
with the plants growing vigorously,
every promise of success, and
then to find in the morning that
some skulking night prowler had cut
a number of the choicest plants off
at the ground, is but another way
nature has of informing the garden
er that constant attention is necess-
airy for a good garden. When this
calamity happens it is safe to sus-
pect that the cut worm has been a
round during the night for this is
5ypically his method of attack.
Most gardeners are familiar with
The cutworm. 1t is usually a gray
or brownish color, the body is smooth
and ordinarily from one-half to one
nch in length. They live over win
5er in a half grown stage and emerge
IN the spring and summer often in
treat numbers, ready to eat most
lnything after their long fast. They
work at night and one cutworm may

A little probing will usually reveal

controlling the cutworm. For the

DR.. Ulysses g. B. Pierce, minis

another sermon in the series he is

Indicative of the character Of

announcement: Granting the truth
of Evolution: Will Religion still

speak with authority, and Oot as
the scribes? What value will the
Bible have? What purpose will the
Church serve? What assurance of

he considered meant by modern

broadspread discussion. In next
Sundays discourse he will take up
more definitely the phases Of the
subject indicated in the questions
if one is to grant the truth OF
evolution"
