There is another important aspect
of the newspaper as the market place
of the community which is often over
looked; that Is, the saving of time.
Instead Of trudging from store to
store in search of clothing, shoes or
any of the numerous other articles
of modern commerce, the consumer
turns instinctiyely to the advertising
columns Of the newspaper for infor-
nation to guide him by the most d.
rect route to the desired product.
Thus wasted time is eliminated
AS the market place of the COM
munity the advertising columns Of the
newspaper yield even greater values,
which, while ultimately social in their
outcome, are founded upon firm eco
nomic basis.
For example, If America has become
a nation of home-owners, 1t is due In
large measure to the persistence with
which the desire for home ownership
has been stimulated through newspa-
per advertising. A man with property
to sell might rub elbows with several
possible customers In the course of
ten minutes walk, but he could not
buttonhole them one after another, for
busy modern life does not permit it.
But finally the real estate merchant
awakened to the fact that all these
unIabeled passers-by were alike in one
important respectfully were news
paper readers.
Similarly, in the field of banking
and in the promotion of individual
thrift the advertising and news col
umns of the American newspaper
have worked magic transformation.
Compare the atmosphere of the aver
age bank today with that quarter Of
a century ago, before the banker had
come to realize that the newspaper
was a market place.
The public utility field offers still
another striking example of how the
newspaper as the market place of the
community has been utilized not only
to sell goods and service but to pro-
mote popular understanding and good
will. 1t has been estimated that news
paper advertising has shortened by
one-half the process of selling the
services of such utilities.
AS In the case Of banks there has
come complete transformation in the
attitude of the public utilities toward
the public and in that of the public
toward them. The old-time suspicious
and antagonisms, now rapidly disap-
pearing, have been replaced by a

Nehf Adds Strength to
Reds Twirling Staff

Burgomaster Garry Herrmann's Gin
cinnati Reds are bringing Joy to the
big cardiac organ of their owner these
days. Jack Hendricks has his team
moving along smoothly, almost relent-
lessly, and the goods are being deliv-
cred. Many critics believe that Hen
bricks made good move when he
picked up Art Nehf from the Giants.
Nehf can't work often, but he is one
of the smartest twirlers in the game,
and there will doubtless be many &C.
casions when he can be injected ju-
diciously into the yorktown lineup.
Hendricks now owns one of the best
rounded pitching STATS in the bust
ness, and If the other departments
function as well as his slab corps is
bound to do the Reds will stay in the
race for long time and may furnish
numerous surprises.

For feats of horsemanship the Ha-

No member of the royal family has

MINNESOTA WINS
SWAMP LAND SUIT.
Supreme Court Confirms States Title ID
$4,000 Acres Of Chippewa. Lands.

Minnesota's title to $4,000
acres of land formerly in the Leect
Lake and White Earth Indian res
ervations and patented to the state
as swamp lands" was confirmed
in decision by the United State.
Supreme Court last week. At.
torney General Hilton, comment
ing on the decision said it woulc
save the State of Minnesota abou,
81, 100000, estimated value of, the
land. o.. ~.-
The federal government brough,
suit to compel the State of Mime
sofa to return land patented BY
the government to the state a:
swamp lands" under the Swamr
Land Act. on the ground that the
lands were the property of the
Chippewa Indians at the time and
the government had no power tC
convey them to the state. The
lands, though classed as swamp
lands, contained much valuable
timber and which was sold by the
state. ~
The Supreme Court holds that
all the land in question except zoe
acres was properly patented to the
state. Attorney General Hilton
says that under the decision ad-
ditional lands amounting to 10000
acres, which has been claimed by
the state, will now become state
property.
The decision is a sad blow to
the Chippewa Indians, who owned
the land. Attorney General Hill
ton in his arguments stated that
the Chippewas should by all means
be reimbursed for the lands, but
that he did not feel that is was the
State of Minnesota who should
pay them. The decision will ir
all probability add another item to
the Chippewa Jurisdictional bill.

Give the Indian
Bureau Publicity.

The fight for fairness which the
Indians throughout the country
have conducted through their pub
licans and organizations against
the Indian Bureau is beginning
to bear fruit. e.. ~a..
For two years The American
Indian Weekly, published at Ey.
erett, WASH, by Indians Of the
Puget Sound tribes, made a con.
seryative stand, investigating most
thoroughly the many charges
against the Bureau before it began
publishing the truth. They wanted
to be sure that these charges were
true against the Bureau before
they pasaed IL on to their readers,
because many of the charges we're
of such grave nature as to be
unbelievable. However, evidence
from many reliable sources has
eft no doubt in the mind of the
proprietor of that publication that
the Indian Bureau and its policy
is detrimental to the Indian race,
Therefore it has published frotn
time to tine, articles of truth
about the Bureau, for they believe
in publicity. 1t is to be regretted
that every Indian tribe in the
United States is not represented
by its own Indian newspaper.
Giving the Indian Bureau a strong
light of publicity will, we believe,
check their mlsdemeanors against
their wards, the North American
Indians, ~.
That what publicity it has re-
ceiVed is now being felt by the
Bureau is evidenced by It's attitude
toward the Minnesota Chippewas.
This year Commissioner Burke
met the representatives of the
Chippewas in a spirit of fairness
and indicated a willingness to
adjust all differences between the
Department and the Indians. The
situation at present is in striking
contrast with conditions that have
prevailed in the past. The ToMA-
HAWK has aided in this work by
voicing the spirit of the Chippe-
was and has fought for the rights
of the race and the Chippewas
should back their paper to the
limit.
