INDIANS WERE

SAYS DR.. HALL
Superintendent of ElbOwOOds
Mission For 50 Years Dis
cusses Early Days

Flbowwoods. N. D., June 24-(P)-
Indians in the neighborhood of this
village were good farmers when the
white man first invaded this part Of
the country. according to the rem
iniscenccs OF DR.. c. l.. Hall, superin
tcndent OF the mission here for nearly
80 years.
Al least the women or the Indian
tribes were good farmers and kept
their fields Every clean DR.. Hall said

the work Of The mission which was 80

Conditions Changed Now
Contact with the white man has
changed the Indain so that the male
members Of the family now do, most
of the heavy work on the farm. When
he first arrived 80 years ago. how
ever. long lines Of women went out
of the village in the early morning to
cultivate the fields Of corn and veg
ctables,' Dr.. Hall said. "These fields
were kept very clean and the supply
of vegetables added needed variety
to the supply of buffalo meat brought
in by the men.
"lhc women dried the buffalo meat

The men made rough beads and
carved wood and pipestone,, chipped
flint for arrowheads and made nipple
ments for games. The people were
friendly and intelligent and law-abid-
ing so far as they understood law but
their moral condition was low.
The Last Tribal Fight
What probably was the last fight
between the Sioux and the Mandan,
Rec and GresVentre tribes occurred,
according to Dr. Hall, shortly after
the Custer massacre. The Sioux had
driven the less warlike Indians to
seek shelter at the trading post OF
the American Fut Trading Company
and they were afraid. ;,
Following the Custer fight. Dr. Hall
said, a large band of Sioux "came to
the point of bottom land across the
river and attempted to parley with
our tribes. Three Of our Rec scouts
had been killed with Custer. Our
people began at once to fire on the
intruders. They hastily retreated,
leaving much camp equipage behind..

1T is not a proposition OF getting
our North Dakota people for it but
to get the people in the east inter-
well balanced country unless every
part of the country shall prosper.
We should have the cooperation Of
through this ship canal for the add
ed money that it would save to the
farmers and people of the northwest
would give them added purchasing
power and this in turn would help
the east because we would buy their
manufactured products.
More Information Needed
"Thcn again ! believe that we
should have more in the way of in
formation as to the probable needs
and u requirements OF the United
States and the rest of the world for
agricultural products, my Thought
being that through the agents OF the
United States scattered all over the
world we could have some idea as
to whether we ought to put in more
or less wheat, more or less flax,
raise more or less sheep and SO on
all agricultural products. In this
way we could gauge our farming so
that we would not create these big
SURPRISES which are hard to dispose
Of and break down the prices of our
grain for our own people.
"Another proposition is that ! feel
that we should find some way OF dis
posing Of our surplus products and
in. finding Il market for them and in
helping to have those SURPRISES reach
the markets with as little expense
as possible between the producer and
consumer.
~ also believe that we should en-
courage capital and new business en-
tcrprises to come into North Dakota,
such rs sugar beet plants, more
creamcries. wool securing plants
briquctting of coal and the use Of
clay products, believing as | do that
North Dakota has drifted too much
toward agriculture and that we
should try and balance our state as
between agriculture and industry
thereby making better balanced
condition for our people. better home
market for our products here III the
state and for the general prosperity
that should come to the people here
in the northwest"

ANDY SMITH LEFT
FOOTBALL MESSAGE
Final Story Was TO Play Game,
Never Mind Victory

Chicago, Jan. IL P)--The last
public message OF Andy Smith, Cali
fornia football coach. who died last
week in Philadelphia was that
Winning Is Not the Thing In Foot
bal--the Game Is the Thing"
He sent the article TO the ALL
Sports magazine just before leaving
California for the Cornell Pennsyl-
rania game Thanksgiving Day. Soon
after he was stricken with pneumon-
la. The message will be published
next month.
ut is not the question OF winning
or losing In any particular game"
wrote the famous coach OF the
Golden Bears" or for that matter in
any particular season. Winning in
football involves winning the games
OF a season, the respect of ones
players, the confidence OF the public
and winning victory over ones self.
Il have found that often 1t is pos
sible to win when to all outward ap-
pearances I had lost. II the men,
bers Of a football team which goes
down to defeat before a superior
team, allow themselves to be dcpres-
sed by the thought OF defeat, the
chances are they will actually lose
while II they are able to profit by
their own mistakes and gain by the
experience, they may we'll gain by
the defeat and thus actually turn It
into victory for themselves.
THE football player who allows
himself to experience a defeat with.
out being able to gain thereby. will
find himself playing losing game
in the game Of life.
TN my first years at California
7 was forced to face defeat on sew
eral occasions. Yet I attribute mucl
of the success that has come to M
within the last five years to those
defeats I suffered during my frs
years in the west.
