1t is expected that the work oil
allotment will be started soon after
the first of the new year and con

years, as has been the case or
other reservations allotted under
similar plans.
The plans of the Department OF
the Interior will probably be- made
in detail some time this month. In
the meantime the Indians are
waiting anxiously for further in,

the younger and more aggressive
members Of the Red Lake reser

the allotment idea, while some OF
the older Indians oppose it and
want the reservation left as it is.

Split Milk Costs Uncle Sam
$77,399,6S5.OO Annually

The amount Of milk split, soured,
rejected and otherwise wasted annu-
ally, is 3,339,986,0 900 pounds. This at
S2.25 per hundred would approx
mate ally the stupendous
amount of $77,399,685.
However,. cheerful note rings
through this tale of economic loss to
a nation. The same report shows
1924 increase of 10S pounds of
milk per cow over 1923 production.
Deducting this from the figure pre-
viously given, leaves a loss through
waste of only $13,607,325, a mere
bagatelle, compared with our ma
tional debt of more than twenty bill
lions of dollars.
The increased yield per COW is due
to heightened efficiency on the farm:
and future years promise even
greater increases.
Dairymen have discovered the fu-
tility of feeding non-paying members
of their milk herds. They have
learned that losses Turk in insanitary
milk production They have dis
covered the advantages that lie in
swatting the bacteria that hide in
unclean stables, unclipped, un-
brushed tanks and udders Of milk
cows and unsterilized utensils. AS
time goes on, the unavoidable waste
of milk will be more than offset by
intelligent feeding, complete SANTA
ton and more efficient herd manage
ment.

The American Indian is fast
passing from the stage when the

number of Indians who are farm.

of acreage cultivated ia noted in
the annual report of the Commits.
sioner of Indian Affairs, submitted
to Secretary OF the Interior Hubert
Work last week.
THE adoption of five-year sys.
tematic agricultural programs with
a plan of industrial surveys of the
home and landholdings has led to
material progress in tie agricul.
tural pursuits of the Indian" the
report stated. The total area of
irrigable lands under construction
work on Indian projects approx
mates 636,000 acres with a view to
a total future area of 1870, 900
acres. The estimated value of
crops raised on these projects dur.
ing the year was 1923, 100000.
A concentrated effort toward
the improvement of health condi-
tons and advancement of educa-
ton among the Indians was made
during the past year. A special
effort to eradicate trachoma was
successfully prosecuted, especially
in the Southwest where travelling
units held clinics on a number of
reservations.
The report stated that there was
an increased enrolment during the
year in both the public and gov.
eminent schools and a plan for
the grading of government schools
has been adopted.

PAUL HJELM-HANSEN
In the summer of 1859 Paul

from Alexandria to the Red River
as an agent of the Minnesota state
board of immigration with the OBJ
ject of preparing a series of letters
about western Minnesota for pub

ried in newspaper form to thous-
ands of Norwegians both in Ameri.
ca and in Norway and played al
important part in promoting settle.
ment in the Red River Valley.
In letter written after his re.
turn to Alexandria the Norwegian
journalist describes bis expert
ences wildly: II have made real
American pioneer journey into the
wilderness behind an OK team
hitched to a farm wagon. l
passed the nights in the open wag
on with a buffalo robe for a bed, a
hundred weight of -four for my
pillow, and like Fritchof's Vikings
| had the blue heavens for a GOV,
ering." Of western Minnesota he
writes, 1T is my opinion and the
opinion of every man who has
seen this country that it offers so
many advantages for Scandinavian
farmers that immigrants will
stream into this region in the near
future. Doubtless within ten
years the whole country will be
settled and under cultivation, and
it will then be one of the most
beautiful and fruitful sections of
America.
The letters report in detail the
travellers observations not only on
the trip to the Red River but also
on extensive journeys in other
parts of the state. They possess
considerable historical interest,
therefore; both as documents re-
lating to the Scandinavian element
and as sources of information
about western Minnesota in the |
late sixties. Among the newspa-
pers in which Helm Hansen's let
tiers were brought out was Nor
disk Folkeblad' of Minneapolis, a |
file of which is now preserved by |
the Minnesota Historical Society. |
On a bronze plate in honor of
Helm Hansen, presented to the
historical society in 1924 by the
Norwegian Danish Press Associa-
ton of America, is inscribed the
statement that he "blazed the way
for Scandinavian settlers to the
Red River Valley"

SOAP AND WATER CHEAPER

use soap and water to get things
clean, it's safer and cheaper than
gasoline" says the State fire mar
shall department.
Many fires originate from the
cleaning of floors, silks, etc, with
gasoline; the violent rubbing of ma
terial generates static electricity
which produces a spark that ignites
the vapor.
where gasoline is used for clean
ing purposes, it should be kept in
small self-closing can, and any that
is not used should be emptied into
the main container outside the build
ing before leaving the premises at
night.
"Floors should not be cleaned with
gasoline under any circumstances.
Soap and water or turpentine are
just as efficient and less dangerous
When gasoline is rubbed over an area
of flooring there is great deal of
evaporation so that the rooms be-
come filled with an explosive mix
ture Of gasoline vapor and air. The
smallest spark Of fire may ignite it,
with fatal results Gasoline vapor
is heavier than air and will travel
down through openings to the fur
mace IN the basement.
"A dangerous practice is the
cleaning of auto parts with gasoline
from an open can. A spark may be
caused by striking two pieces of met

1t was recently discovered in France

back door of the parliment house
during the revolution of 1880, for a
few hours temporary duty in en-
Urgency, had been succeeded by an
other and by all his interminaBle
successor for 95 years, day and night.
1t was bureau order that had never

They call it giving the children more

IN short, make our high schools into
