We know of an Indian girl ol
the Puget Sound Tribes, whose
family was so very poor, they
could not afford to clothe or feed
her after she was fifteen, so she
left them and secured a job with q
family at Seattle as house maid.
Her hours were long and her pay
was twenty dollars a month. Yet

Catholic Indian Congress
At Twin Lakes.

For five days of last week there
was held a Catholic Indian Con-
gress at Twin Lakes Indians
from Ponsford. Pine Point, Cass

gathered together there. About
200 tents were pitched near and in
the village of Naytahwaush. The
Indians remained throughout the

in the past, all of which were
CONSPICUOUS by their absence.
However, we are not the judge,
are not criticising or placing the
blame for anything on anyone, we
had a good time and believe every
one else did. We are of the opin
ion that the officers in charge did
their very best under the circum-
stances. Much interest was mani.
tested in the Indian dance, and the
bowery dance was well patronized.
The base ball games during the
celebration were especially good.
In the game on Monday between
Hawley and White Earsh, White
Earth was the victor by score of
7 to 5, although it was necessary
to play ten innings to decide the
game, as the score was to 5 in
the ninth innings. Monday even
ing a colorei team from Mime
apolis played a game with White
Earth in which our local boys
we're again the victors. Tuesday's
game between White Earth and
the Cass Lake Indians had to be
called off after the fourth innings
on account of rain, the score was
4 to / at that time in favor of Cass
Lake. AS we go. to press we are
informed that Cass Lake and
White Earth will fight it out
Wednesday afternoon if the
weather permits.
When all is said, the celebration
this year, if it was lacking in some
respects to what it has been in the
past. was a fitting tribute to the
occasion and furnished ample en-
joyment for all who attended.

John Arten Defends
General Council.


Minnesota Chippewas, and an old
subscriber to The ToMAHAwK,
writes US an interesting letter in
defense of the General Council and
what that organization has done
and what it stands for. Mr.. Arten
takes exception to certain circular
he received, and which, no doubt,
is the work of some enemies of
the General Council in their efforts
to discredit that organization be-
fore the Chippewa people both for
spite and to further their own
selfish ends. Like Mr.. Arten, we
are of the opinion that their efforts
will avail them nothing; that the
General Council will be doing
business at the old stand long
after it's enemies and counter coun-
ellis have been relegated to the
forgotten past. Mr.. Arten's com.
munication follows:
Superior, Wis,
June 4, 1925.
Editor, The ToMAHAwK,
White Earth, MINI.
Dear SIR
Please allow me a little space
in your paper as l would like to
say few things regarding reso-
luton or circular recently received
stating that the General Council is
no more. The author is very
much mistaken, who ever it may
be.
The reason for some members
thinking the General Council is
out of existence is because they
don't support it the way they
should. But | wish to state here
that the General Council is still in
existence and is made up of mem
bers of the Tribe who are willing
to sacrifice their time to gain the
just dues of the Chippewa people
and not personal benefits.
Furthermore, the members of
the General Council are men who
are broad.minded enough to know
they will never gain the justice
they seek by joining or forming
new councils every day in the
week.
The officers of the General
Council today are not the organ
izers. In my opinion the organi-
ization was first formed for self
benefit By James l. Coffey, but
his failure in this led him to or
ganize another council on April
25, 1918, at Ball Club, Mimi, and
from this one he lived off of dona-
tions made by poor Indians who
themselves had little or nothing.
So now Coffey says the General
Council is dead because he is dead
as far as the General Council is
concerned.
Different organizations have
sprung up, some of them branches
off of the General Council, and
not one of these have done an
ounce of good, but have done tons
of harm.
Should the officers of the Gen.
eral Council branch off and form
new councils every time they ran
into snag we would perhaps by
now have more councils than
members in the Tribe, but thanks
be to God such ia not the case.
The motto of the General Coun-
Gil has always been Right Will
Prevail" The organization is
based on the same principals as
that of the United States Govern
ment, being that the rights of the
people must be protected.
Everything ever brought to
light concerning the Tribe was
, through the officers of the General
Council and no one else.

FOOT BALL SECRETS
by SOL METZGER.-
WHEN PLAYING CENTER.

Strange as it may seem, some of
the best coached teams are to be
noticed putting the ball in play He
galIy. Rule g., section 3, of the Foot
Ball Guide states that its long axis
must be at right angles to the line
of scrimmage when the center snaps
it into play.
The center in the first illustration
is putting the ball in play correctly.
The one i'm the second is holding it
illegally. A competent official is sure
to note this and to call back any play
run of when the latter position is
taken. One of DObie's best teams at
Washington was prevented from run
ming up large score on q weak op-
ponent because of this flaw being
noted by the opposing coach.
A Yale team Of not long ago was
also guilty of this technical error. As
there is no advantage to be gained in
holding the ball in the Illegal position
every center should be certain to hold
1t correctly on every play.
