Government reports from Japan,
China, India, and Australia show con-
siderable unemployment in all these
outposts of capitalism. There is in
dustrial depression in Mexico and in
South America. Taking all these in
to account it would undoubtedly be
conservative to estimate the number
of unemployed industrial workers in
the world today at 100000. Other
millions. are working only part time.
This huge army of unemployed is
due only in a small measure to bad
business which may be expected to
improve 1t is due largely to the on
ward sweep of machine production
serving the interests of small groups
of financial overlords in Holland,
England, and the United States.
While capitalism was extending its
empire over millions of producers OF
raw materials who had no machines,
the workers displaced at home were
absorbed by the constant extension
of industrialism. But today with ma
chimes multiplying in all parts OF the
world, unemployment will be a grow
ing factor until these machines are
controlled in the interest of the work.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH
YOUR CRYING BABY?

Do you get up at night and carry
the baby around?
Well, it's all wrong. Not only that,
but unnecessary. 1t doesn't hurt the
baby to cry little. When you yield
to the demands of the baby or the
entreaties of your wife to get up and
put on midnight parade for the ben
eft of the youngster, you are just Gre
ating bad habit.
Sounds revolutionary, doesn't it?
Yet this is not written for the bene-
fit Of fathers who have to get up at
night and carry babies. 1t is writ
ten for the benefit of the babies. Spe-
cialists in child training who are pre-
pairing for the Northwest Conference
for Child Health and Parent Educa-
ton in st. Paul this month say that
habits like this, developed unwittin ely
by parents, often prove harmful to
the children in the end.
One phase of the conference is to
deal with habits. Authorities in this
field will show how easily habits, de-
sirable and undesirable, may be FORM
ed and how hard it is to change them
Habits are like little cowpaths in the
brain, according to DR.. Caroline
Hedger, one of the speakers who will
appear on the program. Once started,
they rapidly grow deeper, she says,
and so it is important that they be
started in the right way. This train
ing cannotSb begin at too early an age,
she says.
Forty speakers, leaders in many
fields of child study from all sections
of the country, will appear on the
program, and parents, teachers and
others interested in children from

Andrew Bake, farmer near Ar

the American complimenting on the
articles from the South by ]. A. WYE
as follows: .
"Those interesting articles on Ar
kansas by Mr.. wye are real treat to
be found in just a local county paper
and l wish to thank the editor for
securing such an able writer.
81 have heard and read about the
aristocracy of the South, but l did
not know that they had such poor
furnishings in their homes. 1t is too
bad we can notice the same aristocra-
cy to some extent in our good state
of Minnesota, well yes, in our own
locality. They are progressive, tell
ing how, but won't work."

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
. By S. w. STRAUS

President American Society for Thrift
SIS there any royal road to indie
pendence?" asks a correspondent. Yes,
indeed; there is such a highway, not
always easy to travel but leading di-
rectly to that goal.
That roadway is Thrift.
Here are a few figures that show
why this is true:
Five dollars week for fifteen years
at 412% compounded semi-annually
will give you $500.
What better plan, incidentally, could
be carried out for the education of
ones children than this?
Save $50 month during twenty
five years of your life at SO COM
pounded semi-annually and you will
have $61,975.
One dollar deposited weekly in a
savings bank for ten years will
amount to $635.32 at 40 compound
interest.
Start at the age of twenty and save
S33.14 a month with interest COM
pounded at 40 semi-annually and at
65 your accumulations will be $4,000.
Let us suppose you are 25 years old
and that your earnings are sufficient
to make it possible for you to save
S25 a month. You go along on this
basis, saving Systematically for a
period of five years, when your earn
ing capacity makes possible the reg
ular saving of $50 a month.
At thirty-five you increase your
savings to 500 a month. When forty
you find yourself able to save $3.50 a
month and at forty-five you will still
further increase your monthly saw
ings to 5000.
By following this plan you will at
the age of fifty have $54,946.61, pro-
viding your savings have been COM
pounded semi-annually at SO.
Yes, there is a royal road to indie
pendence, and many persons are MAX
ing happy pilgrimage along it.

HOW HIGH ARE WE

Attitudes of places on land are
measured by their elevation above
the sea. The surface of Lake Super
ior at Duluth is 6O1.2 feet above sea
level.
The Duluth Herald states that Gin
the matter of attitudes of Minnesota,
Bradford c. Church and Edward
Lynch both of whom are pioneers
and lovers of this part of the world,
have been making close inquiry. They
find that the highest point in all
Minnesota is in the Misquah hills,
a range of rockbound heights running
east and west in the center of Cook
county toward its western side. Mis-
quah is Chippewa, meaning red or
cording to the State Historical So
ciety, to the red granite outcrop on
these hills.
According to the Federal forest
supervisor, A. G. Hamel in a note to
Mr.. Lynch, the highest point in the
hills and in Cook county is 1920 feet
above sea level, although that meas
urement lacks a little of scientific
precision. This point is an elevation
southeast of Winchell lake in sec
ton SO, township GA north, range 2
west. Beyond doubt, then this hill
is the highest point in Minnesota.
No doubt, too, these Misquah hills
lord it in height over the Mesaba
range elevations, over Jasper peak
on the Vermillion, and over Carlton
peak in the Sawtooth range near
Tote on the north shore.
"All other parts of this state are
out of this race for altitude, as they
are in some other things"

WE NEED ONE ANOTHER

Park Rapids Enterprise: There is
a certain type of man in every COM
munity who poses as a good citizen.
He breaks no laws, lives morally, pays
his honest debts and is never tangled
up with the law in any manner.
But he lives of himself, by himself
and for himself exclusively. When
the call is issued for volunteers to put
across a community movement and
give a boost, he never answers.
In fact, if he stood on the shore
and saw the ship of state sinking he
would never offer to throw out line.
And if all mankind was fashioned
from this kind of chap, what would
happen?

NOT so BAD

Glenn Frank, president of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin,, who is noted
for his articles contributed to the
daily press as one of the big features,
gives the following definition of a
radical in an article published Mon
day in the st. Paul Dispatch:
THE TRUE RADICAL is SIMPLY
A REALIST.
He refuses to be cowed by a catch
word.
He resists the tyranny of tradition.
He refuses to allow the crust of
custom to form over his mind.
He declines to be the slave of slo-
He is not awed by the mere age of
policy.
He is more interested in truth than
in tradition.
He puts facts above fashions.
He is willing to destroy any fashion
when he discovers fact that makes
the fashion foolish
We usually think of radicalism as
a program.
True radicalism is a process-a way
of thinking.
THE TRUE RADICAL is simply the
man who insists upon going to the
root of the matter before him.
He finds the facts and then he fol-
lows the facts, even if his following
the facts means that he must revise
some of his revered notions.
The true radical is not reckless, for
he waits for the facts.
He may be slow in finding the facts,
but he has no inhibitions to slow him
up after he finds them, and it is this
that sets him severely off from the
conservative.
His proposals may sometimes be
conservative.
His process of thinking is always
radical

LITTLE JOURNEYS
HERE AND THERE
BY J. A. WYE

Up long flight of stairs in an in
side room with a skylight for venti-
lation and sunshine. over a business
house located on the main street of
the city of Hot Springs, l found Chief
Gray Horse, once a noted and later
a notorious United States outlaw OF
the Apachee Indian tribe.
Gray Horse is ~ years old, tall.
slim, straight, hair jet black, parted
in the middle, with long braid hang
ing down on each side is a figure
that would attract attention anywhere.
He is now living with his second wife
and they have one little child about
fifteen months old as comely as the
southern girls. Gray Horse was "
ing upon the bed, dressed, and with
the little child at his side. Mrs.
Gray Horse is a young woman of In
dian blood and was busy with some
household care. That one room was
their home. For artificial light,
electricity is used. They have a gas
plate, a gas heater, bed, a table, a
Chiefs workmanship such as bows.
arrows, arrowheads made of stone,
and few other things of household
necessity. Thus has the strength OF
a chieftain who defed Custer and
General Miles waned and dwarfed un-
til it is but a broken reed.
Born in Arizona.
Il was born at Forth Apache, Ari-
IONA about 1854, Chief Gray Horse
(Altaha) began. (This would make
his age "A at the present time). LAS
a boy | was a sheep herder and
learned to do the many artful things
all Indian children are taught.
Learned to make bows and arrows,
stone arrowheads, how to hunt with
the bow and arrow, how to kill and
bring the wild game home. l was a
good shot. l learned to tan animal
hides and to make them into my own
clothing.
Custer Attacks Them.
"In 1872 party of our folks, the
Apaches, Kiawas, and Comanches,
went up into. the Indian territory,
what is now known as Oklahoma, on
buffalo hunt. 1t was the custom
of the tribes to go on such hunt
annually, when the great herds of
buffalo came south and to bring home
stores of meat and hides. No sooner
had we gotten there and made camp
than our camp was charged in the
night by General Custer, many of our
people killed, and all of us stunned
and left with broken spirit. There
was nothing for us to do but bury our
dead and return home without our
meat or buffalo hides, feeling pretty
bad.
Custer was removed from that ter
ritory and sent to Nebraska, but all
three t-'ibes of Indians went on the
war path, l as common warrior. The
war was on during the years 1872,
'73, and IA. The Kiawas were the
first to surrender and the Comanches
next to General Lawton, in 1875.
Chief Geranimo was at the head of
our band. We fought a retreating
battle all the way toward the Mexican
border which the chief was trying to
make. Our chief was confused by the
Gadsen Purchase, not knowing that
it was American soil. 1t was on the
Gadsen Purchase that General Miles
brought Chief Geranimo and his band
of warriorssto tragic end. We sur
rendered and were made prisoners of
war. General Miles asked for an I'M
conditional surrender, but Geranimo,
seeking to gain time, although sur
rounded, asked for time for a parley
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-03-15

with his men. General Miles would
not grant this and our warfare came
to an abrupt close.
I'VE were taken to Fort Smith and
later to st. Augustine, Florida. Dis
ease broke out among the people
there and it was laid to the Indians.
We were then shipped back and to
Fort Sill.
81 went to the Indian school at Car
lyle, Pennsylvania for six years, and
graduated with the class of 1898"
There is a page here in Gray
Horses life that must remain a mys=
terry so far as this story is concerned,
for at this point he ceased talking.
Instead of treating Gray Horse as a
citizen even while attending school,
held as a prisoner of war. When
he got out of school with his
education had bestowed upon him,
and still feeling with pain and re-
morse the lash the government had
inflicted he went on a wild spree of
retribution for his tribe. He was
called the renegade of the Southwest.
A premium was placed on his head.
He was charged with treason. He
was sentenced to be shot. But when
the day came for shooting l wasn't
there" he told me. A reward was
offered for him dead or alive. He
finally landed in Hot Springs and it
was through the influence of Matt
Quay, then senator from Pennsyl-
vania, who became interested in his
case, that his life was saved. Gray
Horse went back to Fort Sill and
surrendered. He was in the guard
house fer six months while his case
was under consideration. One day
he was called to Ithe administration
office and advised that preparations
would be made for him to go to Wash
ington. Instead of being paid for
the work l did while at Carlyle,
was held a prisoner of war. At
Washington, l was exonerated and
granted scholarship but there was
no college in the United States where
they would accept me excepting a
negro college in the South | would
not go there and SO they sent me to

Horse fell in with a Cuban who was
promoting the insurgency against the
Spaniards in Cuba. Gray Horse was
offered $4,000 in gold if he would join
Garcia's forces in Cuba. Il have al
ways done the wrong thing at the
wrong time" he told me, land so /
went. The money was duly turned
over to him and deposited in a safety
deposit vault box before leaving.
After serving under Garcia for a
while, the .insurgent troops were
called in by General Shafter GEN
eral Shafter at first was not kindly
disposed toward the chief and said
that if he did right he should shoot
him. But after due consideration the
chiefs services were accepted and he
served in the quartermaster's depart
ment until the close of the Spanish
war. Returning to New York, the
$4,000 was made the basis of a glori-
Gus bacchanalian time. "The fool
and his money is soon parted" and
so it was with poor Gray Horse.

made it next to impossible for Gray
Horse to settle down in rational liv-

TEN MILLION JOBS
BY LELAND OLDS, Federated Press.

What is to become of the workers
displaced by machines? That is the
outstanding question today. 1t is
facing the entire world. The machine
equipment of the world today enables
the workers to turn out far more
than the scheme of distribution per-
mitS them to consume.
The unemployed workers through
out the world at the beginning of
1923, if put to work in American
mines and factories, could duplicate
the entire> output of American in
dustry. Enough workers are idle to
provide an entire new shift to keep
American machines producing day
and night. How can they be put to
work unless the workers of the world
may consume additional goods and
services?
The world unemployment roster can
only be roughly estimated. EXclud-
ing Asia, Africa, South America and
Australia it would look somewhat as
follows:
