ANNUAL BALL OF
SHRINE CLUB

This event, which is always eager
ly looked forward to by the lovers OF
the art of Terpsichore, has been set
for Friday, April rs, in Standard

OF course it wouldn't seem like a
Shrine Club dance without the SUI

wonderful organization will furnish
the music for the occasion.
This will be one of the most en-
joyable dances ever given in Noun

that record crowd will attend.

Refund Tax Will
Be Paid Soon

Preparations are going forward
RAPIDLY for the refunding to in
dividual taxpayers (who paid in
full on March 15th) of one,fourth
of the amount of federal income
taxes as paid by them for the year
1923, as provided for in the Rev.
enue Act of 1924, according to l..
NJ. Willcuts, collector of Internal
Revenve for the district of Mime
sofa.
The work of preparing the nee
esssary schedules and the refund
checks is going along very nicely,
and the actual mailing of same
will be done as soon as possible.
Inasmuch as the Revenue Act of
1924 provides that these refunds
be made without action on the
part of the taxpayers, it is not
necessary to file a claim of any
kind or 60 to any expense to get
this refund.
The reduction does not apply to
corporations.

Favorable Outlook
For Wheat.

Good yields of wheat and fairly
good prices, at least, are forecast
by Andrew Boss, chief of the di.
vision of farm crops and farm
management, University of Min.
nesota. Here are reasons why ire
finds the outlook favorable for
wheat:
Farmers living in the spring
wheat region have reason to be-
lieve that fortune is going to favor
them this year. The cool, moist
spring has been an excellent one
for the spring wheat crop. The
plants are we'll rooted and have
stooled well, 50 that promise for
good growth is quite evident, and
good yields should be obtained
unless rust or some other epidem-
ic should strike the crop.
The outlook for good prices is
also encouraging. Farmers every
where seem to have taken serious
ly the word to decrease the acre.
age. The acreage cf spring wheat
in the United States and Canada.
as we'll as of winter wheat, has
been materially curtailed. Re-
ports from Europe indicate that
weather conditions have been un-
favorable there and the crop is
below normal. The indications at
the present time are that the wheat
crop in the United States will be
considerably below that of last
year, and this fact, coupled with
an annually increasing demand in
the United States, should give a
favorable reaction between supply
and demand of wheat '''
While it is not probable that the
United States will return to a
large acreage of spring wheat, it
seems probable at this time that
those who have a good crop of
wheat this year may fare better
than they have for several years
back.

Old Indian Villages
Re-eStab|iShsd for
Indian Pageant.

Between seventy-five and one
hundred automobiles have been
busy the past week transporting
Indians from the Lac du Flambeau
and Court 1'Oreille reservations
who are to take part in the big
Indian Pageant at the Apostle
Islands. Equipped with their
birch bark wigwams and their
ancient cooking utensile, these
Chippewa Indians have returned
to the habits and customs of the
old Ojibwa Indians of three CEN
turies ago, and the villages of the
old La Pointe days will be re.
stored until after the close of the
pageant on August 21st.
I'VE intend to see that visitors
to the state are protected and that
no liquor is dispensed, either to
the white men or Indians during
the pageant. Our estimates in
dictate that at least 100000 tourists
from outside states will be visitors
to the pageant and they must go
away with a good impression of
Wisconsin and its first big tourist
attraction" says Clerk M. Perry,
state prohibition director.
Lac du Flambeau Indians have
been working for weeks producing
quaint beadwork, deerskin moe
casins and ornaments, and other
curios that will be exhibited in the
Indian village while the pageant
is in progress.

Indian Names for
Minnesota Farms,

How would you like to have
your country estate called WAS
tedaka?" Your friends might
remark that they would like to
spend the weekend with you at
''Wastedaka," but the Browns had
invited them to "Jingwak" and
the owner of "Nibinish' had
urged them to try the fishing near
bis place.
Such names may soon become
common for Minnesota farms and
country homes. A few years ago
attention was called to the interest
and appropriateness of Indian
names for Minnesota places, and
the Minnesota Historical society
has received many requests from
farmers and others for help in the
selection of such names.
These requests are promptly
answered with a list from which
suitable name can be chosen. The
three names given above are ex'
amples from this list. SWasteda'
ka" is a Sioux word meaning tic
delight in." ''Jingwak" is Chip
pewa for pine tree, and "Nibinish'
is Chippewa word meaning u
spend the. summer in certain
place."

Pueblo Indian Lands.

1t is hoped that the passage by
Congress, on June 5, of the amend.
ed Bursum Bill, S. 1882, will set
tie the complicated questions of
the Pueblo land titles, and secure
for the Indians all the lands to
which they are equitably entitled.
The new law provides for the
establishment of Pueblo Lands
Board" whose duty it shall be to
Investigate, determine, report
and describe the lands within the
boundaries of any lands granted
or confirmed to the Pueblo Indians
by the United States or any prior
sovereignty, title of which the
Board shall find not to have been
extinguished in accordance with
the provisions of this act
The Board is also ''required to
report upon each Pueblo as sep
arate unit" and upon the filing of
each report the Attorney General
is required ito file suit to quiet
the title to the lands described in
said report as Indian lands, the
Indian title to which is determined
by the report not to haye been
extinguished." -
1t is also provided that nothing
in the act shall impair any exist.

There may have been time in

he only wanted it for campaign

have an able ally in the Indian
Bureau, the Bureau is ever ready
to aid their pet politicians and
supporters in Congress to the
eternal detriment of the Indians
whose interests they are supposed
to guard, but they bitterly oppose
any and all legislation that would
materially aid the Indian people
to escape from the bondage and
tyranny imposed upon them by this
despotic branch of our Govern
ment. The Indian Bureau has
become widely recognized as
hotbed of deceit and intrigue in
its efforts to keep the Indian and
his property in the clutches of the
Bureau and thereby perpetuate
itself. Once in a while the In-
dians are fortunate enough to have
a representative in Congress who
has their interests at heart and
conscientiously tries to aid them.
The Chippewas. are fortunate at
present in having such man in
Congress in the person of Repre-
sentative Knud Wefald, Repre-

gressional District, Minnesota.
Mr.. Wefald has been untiring in
his efforts to aid the Chippewas
and help them to get an equitable
settlement of their affairs with the

through the medium of two major parties, one conservative in its pro- gram the other liberal. It would be unfortunate If 1t were otherwise, for each serves as counter weight to the other, Democracy has always been the liberal party If there be any Justification at all for her con. tinued existence. 1t lies in the hope that she still is the liberal party. Yet in this very campaign, demo- cracy's position as leader of pro- gressive thought is challenged. A spirit of unrest Is prevalent, re- peat, throughout the country. Let no man underrate the strength of the new movement. There arc none so blind as they who will not see. It Is not repetition of the great schism Of 1912, when man were attracted by the magnetism of Roosevelt. Its roots are buried much deeper and are watered by distrust. Just why democracy's position is assailed by those of liberal turn of mind is difficult of explanation.
 Surely, a party whose record has been continual stream of progress sive legislation, ought to retain the good will and gratitude of the peo- pie she has served. Not that democracy is perfect. Innumerable times has she bundered. For democracy enrolls men, not gods. Perhaps it was tremendous mis- take to have injected the great issue into the recent New York conven- ton. Surely, no one can doubt how colossal a blunder was the solution, ir we dignity it as a solution. Per haps much of the unrest of Connec- ticut's men and women may find its source in the failure of that very convention to nominate as its stan dard bearer the great democrat of the Empire State, the one and only Al Smith. But democracy has made no blunder as she hands her banner to the lawyer of ability, the gentle man by instinct, the statesman by training, the progressive by nature, the man with shoulders broad enough to hold heart, and eyes wide enough apart to hold brain" "
