NESS COM. PLAN

On December II the S25 pei
capita payment to the Indians Of
the Fort Peck reervation was com
pleted. Supt. Mccullough reports
that 1887 adults received S25 each

ed to their credit on the books.
Thus S32,175 went to the families

About January Is. said the Super
intendent, the parents will receive
$25 from the accounts of their
youngest two children. In Febru-
airy there will be another payment.
Vote On New Method
The tribesmen had before them
at this time a question that had
been put up for referendum vote.
Heretofore all matters affecting
the interests of the whole tribe,
such as leasing or selling tribal
land, were decided by tribal coun-
ellis in which each one present had
a vote. Representative councils
were hard to bring together and
the method had proven a cumber-
some and unsatisfactory. A new
method was proposed by which a
business committee would be elect
ID to act for the tribe in all tribal
matters.
AS the Indians reported at the
pay stations for their
they voted on the change
proposed and for candidates for
.ommitteemen. The committee
,lan was adopted $50 to 260, and
he following were elected as the
lew business committee, each to
erve two years: Joshua Wetsit,
Jfmrod Davis, James Archdale,
Savior, Andrew Red, Thund-1

titled "The Winter Cook Book"

Christmas Seal Sale
Well Patronized

Superintendent Margaret Ingle-
hart reports that the results of the
Christmas seal sale so far this
year have been very gratifying.
The returns are not complete but
to date she has received S77.00
from people in Wolf Point and S44
from the rural schools. In Wolf
Point the plan of selling by mail
was carried IN. just as it was last
year. No children or others were
authorized to sell seals either on
the streets or at homes. Each
envelope SEM out had a key num-
Der so thst there is a record of
all the seals out. and a record was
kept of all the returns. This
method has been found desirable
in that it reduces the nuisance OF
house to house solicitation, and
enables a check to be kept on the
work.

WHEAT PRODUCES
PRIZE PORKERS
GRAND CHAMPION PEN, KAN.
LIVESTOCK SHOW PROVE
ITS VALUE

Some farmers in different sec
tons of the country have refused
to adopt the practice of feeding
wheat to livestock, even though
they have the wheat on hand, be-
cause they are afraid that it will
not produce the desired results.
Many experiments have been
conducted, the results of which
show that wheat is as good a feed
as corn for dairy cattle, beef
cattle, or hogs, and that it is more
economical when the price margin
is not too great.
Proof that wheat will produce
the proper finish as well as weight
was demonstrated at the Kansas
National Livestock show last
month, when a pen of wheat-fed
Poland Chinas, averaging PA
pounds at six months old, carried
off the grand champion award in
the fat hogs division. They were
fed on a strict ration of cracked
wheat and a protein supplement.
Wheat probably is best fed to
hogs, however, as only a part of
the ration, using corn or barley
to complete the grain mixture.
Best results are likely to be OBJ
tanned when a s%elf-feeder is used,
feeding the grain mixture in one
bin, and a mixture composed If
two parts of tankage. one part
linseed meal, and one part alfalfa
meal in the other bin.-Farm

SANTA PASSES

GETS WILD WELCOME FROM
MOB OF klDDIES; RE-
TURNS THURSDAY

There is a Santa Claus. Humid
eyes on the streets of Wolf Point
Saturday. The appearance of his
red-ciad rotound figure and the
sound of bells was the magic that
brought a cheering army of child
rem in the wake of his sleigh and
ponies where two minutes before
only a scattering few were in
sight. So rapidly did the swarm
grow that the toy p~eddler's small
rig was literally engulfed by the
time 1t Travelled a block along the
street and stopped and surrender
ed.
The, dear old soul did not have
his regular Christmas outfit at all
but was travelling light to his head
quarters in the Far North to get
his reindeer and big sleigh. He
had not intended to stop any place
except for food and rest. The
Wolf Point Lions begged so per-
sistantly for a brief stop here that
he yielded.
His supplies we're merely
samples. Small toys and apples
for the little folks, especially
those in need of the generosity Of
a big hearted Santa. In the ex-
cited gang that gathered it is
feared that not all the most de-
serving little ones got their share.
Santa whispered to some of the
Lions who assisted him in the dis
tribution that if he made an early
visit next year he had better plan
n his head.
1t was fun for the eager children
while it lasted. Fun of that de-
ightful kind that never comes
again in older years. They saw
