COOKING CARROTS

A good way to cook carrots in
the shortest possible time to con
serve their vitamins is to cut
them on a slicer and cook them
in just enough lightly sailed boil
ing water to cover them. In 10
minutes or less they will be ready
to eat. When drained, seasoned
with butter or cream, salt and
pepper, and served piping hot, the
carrots will appeal to many who
protest ordinarily that they ''nev-
er eat carrots"

$S.27S.30s was realized from bonuses
paid by oil operators at public auction
sales of leases during the year. The
total amount received by the Usage
Indians from the oil and gas industry
during the past 10 years aggregates
$177,359, 64407.
The wealth of the Osages has dra wn
swarms of parasites to their reserva-
ton and the latter seek to diveSt the
Indians of their property. The super
intendent of the Usage agency handles
$50, 100000 a year in oil rental and
bonus money. To prevent dissipation
of the wealth only limited sums are
paid to what are called the ere
stricted" Indians, the balance being
held in trust for them until they are
declared competent to manage their
own affairs. Those who prey upon
the Indians contrive by every device
to have restricted Indians declared
competent.
LOW an Usage Indian woman dis
Il posed of her funds after having
been declared competent to handle her
own affairs and relieved from Govern
ment guardianship was revealed in an
application recently for the payment
of S3.S19 still due from the Govern
ment. Inc appilcdtlon showed lnat
she had expended $1,000 for fur
coat, $4,000 for a diamond ring. $4,000
for an automobile, 81. 900 for furniture,
$500 to pay loans made from her
mother and sister. $500 for shipping
furniture from Florida to California,
81 500 loaned to her sister. $4,000 in
a cash payment on a California home,
81 500 for lot and $4,000 in Florida
real estate.
The balance of the money had been
expended in general expenses such as
clothes. travelling expenses, income
taxes and gifts to her people. The
allottee has an average annual in
come of $12 900 from oil royalties and
bonuses. She Is 20 years old, mar
ried and has one child. She was re-
leased from Government guardianship
two wears ago. when all the restricted
funds to her credit with the exception
of sass were turned over to her.
What is believed to be a record in
the expenditure of accumulated funds
from oil and gas royalties is shown
in connection with a young allOttee

welfare of more than 240,0 Indian

The position is rendered difficult
by reason of the fact that although
Indians as a class are poor, the sudder
accession of wealth of a number of
them through oil and gas leases has
deN eloped problems that are well nigh
impossible of solution The Govern
ment files are filled with the records of
Indian eXtravagances. many of them
the result of exploitation on the part
of white men; many Of them due to
the intoXication from quick wealth.
There is the story, for example, of
"a wealthy Usage Indian who was in
duced to build platial home

of dollars worth OF furniture. The

THE Usage Indian tribe is said to
be the Wealthiest people per capita
in the world. In addition To having
already had the lands within their
reservation allotted to them, each In
dian owning property in his own
name, individual enrolled members of
the tribe receive annual payments
amounting in some cases TO as much
as $4,000 from oil royalties and bon
uses paid for oil leases. The mineral
rights on the entire reservation have
been reserved by the tribe, the pro.
ceeds being divided among the orig
inal 2.229 enrolled members or their
descendants. Whenever a member of
the tribe dies. his share descends to
his heirs. with the result that some
Usage families have huge incomes
A total of $29 422 800 was paid to
the Usage Indians from royalties and
bonuses on oil and gas produced on
their reservation during the past
fiscal year. A report on the oil oper-
atoms shows that 33.662.l79 bar
rels of oil was produced. the
royalties on both oil and gas amount
