CUSTER "SU|C|DE"
IS CALLED BUNK
Gen. Godfrey, Who Was at
Little Big Horn Battle,

The controversy over the manner Of
Maj. Gen. George 4. Clusters death
in the battle of Little Big Horn 81
years ago raises no question in the
mind of Brig. Gen. Edward S. God
frey. retired.
Gen. Godfrey. who lives at Cooks,
town. n. j., took part in the battle
as the first lieutenant of X Troop. with
Capt F. w Benteens battalion,
which went to the rescue of Maj
Marcus a Reno's detachment.
He is a famous Indian fighter in his
own right. and is widely recognized
as an authority on the historic en-
gagement. He was master of cere-
monies at the f1ftieth anniversary re-
enactment of the battle in Montana
in June last year.
Writing in the Cavalry Journal he
describes as bunk" the statements
recently published that Custer, finding
himself the only survivor of his de-
tachment, took his own life.
Some of the statements of these
suicide mongers' sound like camp
gossip or rumors that are banded
about and then accepted by some
credulous persons as facts" he says.
''In a book which, ] think, is entitled
1.-THE North American Indian the
author made statement to the effect
that Indians never scalpcd a suicide
Since then some of these sensational
writers have used that statement as
basis for their dramatic stories.
Questioning Chief Gall, one of the
Indian leaders in the battle, rs to
the reason Custer was not scalped,
Gen. Godfrey says the famous Sioux
told him he did not know. unless it
was because he Custer was the Big
Chief and that they respected his rank
and his bravery"

Maj Reno to help identify the dead
on Custer Hill after the battle, recalls

Unfortunately most American

IL these have no market value, be.

then it is necessary to add to the
cost Of the cuts that are popular
in order to cover the loss on the
unused portions.
A large Use and wider demand
for these products will tend to re-.
duce the cost of the other cuts.
This does not mean that we are
to live upon them exclusively, but
If every family would use them in
some form at least once a week
the amount so consumed would be
enormous.
Perhaps one of the reasons for
the dislike which many claim to
have for these products is that they
have not been properly cooked.
They must be subjected to a long,
slow cooking with a moderate heat.
