HOPES TO AID
u. S. INDIANS
New Commissioner Plans
To Put P.edman On
Tneir Feet

WASHINGTON, July 22.-(Pl-
Charles j. Rhoades, commits
sioner Of Indian affairs, is charged
with the gigantic task of put
ting $4,000 red men ION their feet"
1t is the aim of Secretary Wilbur to
take them out Of government care
and make them self supporting.
Not since Franklin K. Lane was
secretary Of the interior has there
been such a drastic change in adj
ministration attitude toward the
Indians. They were given free rein
at that time and many, by unUise
business moves, went into bank
ruptcy.
With the new commissioner on
the Job, the work of getting the
Indian out in the world and "on his
own" will be pushed.
Much has already been accom-
plished in that direction. Last year
the Indians of the 200 tribes scat
tered over the country earned ST.
267,8 l by the sale Of blankets, bas-
kets, beads. wood carvings, paint
HE@F
incs and other arts and industries.
To enlarge the market for In
dian handiwork further a trade
mark design to be registered IN
the patent office is being consid-
cred. 1t would suggest the crafts
manship Of the Indian and would
be attached to all articles they
make.
Pre-vocational industrial instruc-
tion is being given in the Indian
schools and the younger genera
ton of Indians now growing up Will
be fitted to earn their way. The
instruction includes farming, car
pentry. blacksmithing. engineering
masonry. painting, and harness re-
pairing for the boys, and home
training. cooking. sewing, launder-
ing and poultry raising for the girls.
Graduates Of agricultural colleges
are superintendinP the farming ac-
t~ivities Of the Indians. The Cool
idge dam now under construction in
Arizona at A cost Of S5.850-n00 will
supply adequate irrigation for the
Pima Indians.

Southern Mutual Life Asso-
citation In New Office
AT San Benito

An organization which has grown
in the short space Of two years to
such proportions as to place it
among the soundest of its kind in
the section is the Southern Mutual
Life association Of this city.
The organization was formed two
and a half years ago, by w. T.
Hughes, as a mutual aid in life in
surance. 1t was later taken over by
the present owners, the present Of
ficers and directors having been
elected last fall.
The officers are z. r. Morris
president; j. Z. Bell, vice president;
F. A. Loveless, secretary and treas
urer, and Miss Alma Mcpherson.
assistant secretary. F. N. Davis IS
an additional director, all Of the Of
ficers being directors in the organ
ization.
DR.. Morris, the president, and Dr.
N. d. Monger, also Of San Benlto.
are medical examiners for the COM
pany. The law firm of Montgomery
& Bowie is legal advisor for the
firm.
Until recently the Southern Mu-
tual Life association was located in
the Farmers State Bank building,
on Stenger street, but it has been
moved to the Bowie & Trent Office,
on North Sam Houston boulevard
a part Of the front of this office
being reserved for the concern.
Suitable office fixtures have been
installed there for the office force,
This concern operates as a mu-
tual insurance aid. with no profit
to any of the members. directors or
offers. The scope of its business
is indicated in the fact that it has
now on the records more than a
million and a half dollars in lnsur-
ance.
Since it was organized the COM
pany has piad out $1,000 to bene-
ficiaries of deceased members.
Operation Of this company as eX-
planned by the officers. calls for a
small annual fee by each member,
depending On the amount Of insur-
ance carried. and assessments are
made when any member Of the Or
~ganization dies.
In this way a reserve fund IS al
WAYS kept on hand. and the fees eX-
ceptin case Of death are very small
to all participants in the benefits
Of the organization.
Although it has members in some
other sections Of the Valley. the
company was formed end is oper-
ated principally as a local concern.

Harrington Citrus
Trees Five Years
Old ~Transplanted
Especial to The Herald)

Especial 10 Inc herald
HARLINGEN July 22.-Proof
that old citrus trees can be trans
planted is contained in the fact
that % acres of five-year-old trees
were set out successfully on the
1,500-acre tract Of John LaXon, six
miles west of Carrie Springs, Tex
as, last spring.
The work was accomplished by
leaving intact the soil around the
trees and digging a circular trench
at some distance from the trunk
and wrapping the roots so they
would not be exposed to the air.
The long roots then we're pruned
off and limbs and foliage pruned
off sufficiently to offset loss of root
surface.
The trees we're purchased from
the nursery here which makes q
speciality of handling trees in that
way.

Financial independence in old
age" said Sergeant Wise. lis a goal
much sought after. but seldom
reached. Too often when old age
has overtaken us, we find that the
earnings of our youth have been
spent and that our days OF useful
ness arc q matter of history. To the
young man who thinks seriously Of
the future, the army offers an OPP
portunity, equaled by few occupa-
tions-surpassed by none, for the real
ization Of his dreams. Opportunity to
sec strange lands, to know the pco-
pies of other races in their native
environs, to learn from actual expo

know that honest labor will be
crowned by promotion, to follow ono
OF the oldest and most noble profess
sions Of mankind, and at the end of
80 years we'll spent while still in the
prime Of life, to retire on a lifetime
income equal to the income on from
