Sioux indians Ate Wild
Beans in Early Days,

The wild bean in early days
furnished the Sioux Indians with
one of their choicest dishes. The
beans could be found only in the
late autumn or winter when a light
fall of snow covered the ground,
and then only in the underbrush
along, the bottomland of rivers,
where the underbrush in places
resembles a miniature tropical
jungle.
The beans were gathered in
large quantities by small animal
somewhat of the ''pack rat''
species, which placed the wild
beans in their store houses for
winter use. In these caches they
are known to have stored from a
few quarts to a bushel of the
beans. The Sioux Indians knowl
edge of wood lore made it com
paratively easy for him to find
these wild bean caches.
Before the Sioux Indian knew
anything about bacon or ham, be
cooked the beans with jerked
buffalo meat. Such of the Indians
as yet make practice of gather
ing the wild beans, in these mod
ern days, cook them with bacon or
beef.

The Village Water
and Automobiles.

We have, since the water system
was installed in the village had
more or less trouble at different
times to keep the water running
to supply the community. This
has been due to leaks in pipe
mains, tank, etc., but we have not
been without water for any great
length of time. However there
has just been brought to our at.
tention practice that, if it is not
stopped will result in the water
being turned off entirely in the
town, We refer to the practically
some parties-of using the hyd-
rants as washing place for their
automobiles. The village water is
not to be used in this manner, and
we are informed that il it is not
stopped the water will be trrnod
off for good. Go to the lakes to
wash your cars.

Otto Lund of Audubon is being
held on the charge of manslaught-

one who had intervened to stop

blow, which resulted in the death

it broke several bones in his wrist.
The other men who were with
Lund at the time were George

Paul was about forty years Of

him to be very quiet and trust

Must Work Part of Time

Quite a hulabaloo is being raised
because chief in the Treasury
Department at Washington where
many thousands of men and wom-
en- are employed at substantial
salaries has posted signs warning
employees that being on the gov
ernment payroll carries with it an
obligation to work. The signs in
question provide that the clerks
must arrive by nine, and be ready
to work. They must work until
4:3O and must stop gossiping and
visiting during the Office hours, 1t
further prov ides, and this is a
particular point of grievance, that
the lunch hour is provided for
luncheon purpose, and that the
habit of eating lunch in the Offices
on government time for which the
taxpayers are paying, and then
using the lunch period for busi.
ness and other affairs must be
stopped. The man and woman on
the farm with a working day from
sunrise to sunset and later, is not
apt to allow their sympathy to
run away with them, because the
government clerks are being asked
to meet these requirements. The
shop girl, the Office worker, and
the men and women in the mills
of the country who begin at eight
or earlier and work until long
after the government hour, are
not expected in the immediate
future to march on Washington,
demanding that these rules be
revoked.

Real American
But is Barred.

An Indian, member of a. race
who are repeatedly described as
the only real Americans" may
be denied citizenship in the United
States.
He is CANADIAN .born, although
of American parentage, has been
a resident of Michigan since 1892,
and served with the American
army in the World War. The
naturalization laws of the United
States provide for the .naturaiza-
tion of members of the white and
black races, native born Indians
being citizens by reason OF their
birth. As far as can be learned,
this is the first instance on record,
in. Michigan at least; where an
alien Indian has asked to be nat
uralized.
The only hope that the Indian
has of being admitted to citizen

Indians and Divorce.

In the United Press dispatches
we note that James Thorpe, great.
est Indian athlete the world has
ever known, is being sued by mis-
wife for divorce. While in Los
Angeles, Mrs. Daniel Simmons
has already started divorce pro-
ceedings against her husband, the
great Indian baritone.
As a general rule the Indian
makes the best of husbands. He
is true and faithful, and stepping
out" on his better half" is very
seldom practiced. Indeed, time
was when divorces was not known
among the Indians. u
In that time, before the invasion
of the whites, the old Indians
taught their youths character.
They built character as a founda-
ton for the boy and girl. Their
aim was not training in the so
called arts of war and hunting, but
the cultivation of character. Then
when the volcanic human emotions
arose, character stood at the helm
of the marriage ship and steered
the couple safely into the harbor
of normal life.

pewa Indians are informed that on
account of the vast amount OF
public business; the legal division
of the executive branch of govern.
ment cannot give full time which

Whereas, The Department of
Justice which handles the case is
the most competent and proper
party to suggest the name of the
attorney who can fulfill the de-
mands of the work in hand, and,
Whereas, The Department of

be acceptable to the Department
of Justice to aid the government
attorney in the said Swamp Land
Case, and,
Whereas, The Indian Office and

indicated that if the Minnesota

REVAMPS
KISS FOR
SCREEN

An original screen story by j..
M. Barrie-a motion picture faa-
tasy by that Scottish master of
charming and poetic writing-is
to be produced as a Paramount
picture in the near future. After
months of argument and many
refusals Sir James has consented
to. enter the picture game
This news was brought to the
offices of the Famous Players
Lasky Corporation yesterday by
Herbert Brenon, who has been
comforting with Barrie about the
film production of "a Kiss for
Cinderella" This picture, with
Betty Bronson, of "Peter Pan"
fame in the leading role, will be
a Christmas offering this year.
Ire discussion of whether or
not Barrie would write an orig
inal story ran through the many
conferences that the author and
Mr.. Brenon had regarding Gin
derella,'' and it was only at the
last talk that Barrie finally con-
scented. Just when he. will write
it, not even Barrie knows.
''We. had eight meetings about
cinderella, :" said Mr.. Brenon.
First, we discussed the play
in it's original form, then the
scenario, as Willis Goldbeck pre-.
pared it,. Then Barrie went at
it from the motion picture angle.
Barrie, you know, is a real mo-
ton picture enthusiast, and there
are few authors who have as
keen a sense of the possibilities
and limitations of the screen as
he has.
There will be quite a num-
Der of changes in the play when
it is shown on the screen, every
one of them dictated by the
author himself. The finish of
the play depicts Cincerella as
dying child In q romaptical
Nmoment Our Policeman brings her
a pair of glass slippers, which.
he says, are in lieu of an en-
Gagement ring. He remarks that
they are like two kisses.
Barrie realizes that it is not
wise to have a sad ending to a.
picture, so he has rewritten the
finish. AS he wrote it; it reads.
.'Oh, they're terribly small"
says Cinderella Maybe they'll
not go on
But the shoes go on, and the
policeman says: TO me you are
like a flower that has grown UP
in a dark place To picturize
this. Barrie evolved, in a flash of
inspiration, a beautiful idea. The
final scene shows Cinderella in
her poor dress in her old room.
