A group of San Francisco phys1-

perhaps, for the exaggerated self-es-
TEEN of the "conquering white" to
read these words of Plenty Coups and
reflect upon them with an honest
mind: "They spoke very loudly when
they said their laws were made for
everybody; but we soon learned that
although they expected us to keep
them, they thought nothing of break
ing them themselves (Their
priests) said we might have their re-
ligion, but when we tried to under
stand it, we found that there were toe
many kinds this bothered US
a good deal until we saw that the white
man did not take his religion any
more seriously than he did his laws,
and that he kept both of them just
behind him . to use when they
might do him good in his dealings with
strangers. These were not our ways.
We kept the laws we made and lived
our religion. We have never been
able to understand the white man, who
fools nobody but himself. +.
Now, too late, we know that the white
man is not wise. He is smart, not
wise, and fools only himself"
To read Plenty Coups' story is to
realize that he deserves the character
ization of great American" by what
ever standards, either white or red,
he may be judged. A part of his
greatness lies in the adjustment he
made between his people and ours, in
his patience, his diplomacy and his
firmness which saved the Crows from
the tragic fate which overlook other
Indian tribes. Of them he says: "We
saw that those who made war against
the white man always failed in the
end and lost their lands. Look at
the Striped eathered-Arrows (Chey-
ennes). Most of them are living
where they hate the ground that
holds their lodges. They cannot look
good water as l do, every day. In
stead of making treaty with the
white man and by it holding their
country which they loved, they fought.
All how those warriors fought! And
lost all, taking whatever the white
man would give. And when the hearts
of the givers are filled with hate their
gifts are small.
1.-THE Cheyennes and the Sioux, who
Jared little better, have always been
our enemies, but am sorry for them
today. have fought hard against
| them in war, with the white men more
than once, and often with my own
tribe before the white men came. But
when l fought with the white man
| against them it was not because l
loved him or because l hated the
| Sioux or Cheyennes, but because l
saw this was the only way we could
keep our land-and it was my dream
that taught us the way"
Although Plenty Coups talked freely
about his early life, even to the in
innate details Of his dreams and all
| the other elements which make up the
mysticism of the Indiana rare oc-
currence. for the red man to bare his

bounty broke his spirit. when the

people fell to the ground and they
could not lift them up again." he says.

was passed on to the publishers who
rushed the first copy of American"
to the superintendent of the Crow
agency in Montana with instructions
for immediate delivery to Plenty
Coups. At their request also a pho
tographer was taken along to get
picture of Plenty Coups holding the
copy of his book. But before the IA
nous chief would allow his picture to
be taken he asked that he be fed. So
the first item in the expense account

Plenty Coups, 1925"
Plenty Coups has remained a boy
all his life and the naturalness of
childhood is reflected throughout his
story what are your earliest remem-
brances" Mr.. Linderman asked him
and the old man smiled. play" he
said happily. "All boys are much
alike. Their hearts are young and
they let them sing" And in his tell
ing of the events of his boyhood and
his training at the hands of the eld-
ers Of the tribe, there is food for
thought by the white man who be-
lieves that men of his color are SUI
perior in any way to men whose skins
are red.
So profiting by the example and the
instructions of his elders, Plenty
Coups' boyhood was spent in the kind
of play which was the beginning of
his education in physical development,
in plains and wood craft and in strict
self-discipline of body and mind. He
and the other boys played at making
war. and with great eagerness he
looked forward to the day when he
might go out on the first war party
and have the chance for that distinc-
tion so much desired by all prospec-
tive understanding coups. This
might be accomplished in one of sew
eral ways. He might strike an enemy
with his coup stick, bow or quirt, be-
fore otherwise attacking him. or take
his weapon while he was still alive.
He might count coups by striking SIM
ilarly the first of the enemy's dead or
his breastworks under fire or by steal
ing horses from the village of an en-
emy Unlike the white mans idea it
was not so much an honor to be
wounded in action. When a warrior
who had been wounded donned an
eagle feather to commemorate the
event, he must stain it red, and such
feather was esteemed less highly
than one which bore the distinctive
markings showing how a coup was
counted.
Plenty Coups' young manhood was
filled with innumerable skirmishes be-
tween the Crows and their traditional
enemies, the Sioux, the Cheyennes, the
Arapahoes and the Blackfeet. His
/ first real contact with the white men
came when he enlisted as scout with
General Crook and served vigorously
with that officer in the great battle
with the Sioux on the Rosebud. For
Americans with their traditional love
of good sportsmanship" there is an
interesting example in Plenty Coups'
attitude towards his enemies In near
ly every case in which he tells of a
foeman whom he fought and killed,
he ends the story by adding gravely.
"He was a good man, that Sioux, and
a brave warrior"
But the opinions of the white man
expressed by this old warrior is not
such comfortable reading for those
who fondly believe that the white race
is superior to all others. But is good,

Five Center Piers Have
Been Removed This Year
All Will Eventually Be Eliminated
from Trunk Highway System
Babcock Believes

Gradual elimination of center
piers in bridges carrying railroad
tracks over trunk highways is being
accomplished by the Minnesota
Highway department, according to
information given out by Commits
sioner G. M. Babcock. Five centre
piers are being removed this year,
two on T. H. No. near Rosemount,
one on No. 10 at Hancock, one on
No. 9 at Jackson and one On No. 35
east of Grand Rapids.
An agreement has been made
with the railroad company for the
removal next year of the center
pier on T. H. No. As, between. St..
Paul and Saltwater, and negotia-
tions are under way for the elimina-
ton of several others. In 1929 CEN
ter piers were removed on No. so
near Hampton and No. 81 near
Chaska. Several were removed pre-
vious to 1929.
No bridges with centre piers
have been built in the trunk high
way system in several years, nor
is the department approving plans
for bridges with center piers on
state aid roads. Most Of the bridges
with center piers now existing
were built before the trunk high
way system was established.
Eliminating the center pier
doubles the length of the span, ne
cessitating heavier and costlier
beams or trusses. In many cases
taking out the center pier means
building a complete new bridge. In
most cases the highway depart
ment shares the cost with the rail-
road company. Sometimes the GEN.
ter pier hazard is eliminated by
relocation of the road.
Center piers were not a serious
traffic hazard ten or fiji
teen years ago, but with the rapid
change which has taken place in
the number, size and speed Of mo-
tor vehicles, center piers today are
almost as dangerous as, grade
crossings, Mr.. Babcock says. We
are working for their. elimination
as rapidly as possible, although it
involves considerable outlay and
it will take several years to finish
! the job.

Farmers Use All Classes
of Roads, Gains Experience
Winnebago Man Praises State and
Federal Work, Offers Plan for
Farm Roads

H. S. Muir of Winnebago is the
author of an article printed in the
October issue of Cappers Farmer
Needs" The article follows:
I have served on the town board
of supervisors for several years so
have studied roads. Good roads
are a hobby with me. Today every
farmer has legitimate use for a
car and often a truck. He needs
good roads.
The most skeptical of us are be-
ginning to see the merit of extern
sive investments in great highway
systems by our state and federal
governments. Many counties are
making large expenditures on main
roads. For years we have discussed
the merits of bond issues, voted
gas taxes, criticized policies and
officials, but out of it all is deVe-
Hoped a great highway system that
is taking care of the main traffic
routes. We farmers concede the
necessity of such system and We
all use and enjoy it.

run by our farms, the unimproved
country road that most farmers
live on? What are we going to do

very positively in today's bulletin

to be common colds.
jennie is practically certain to
give his sniffles to other children
if he does go to school according
to these doctors. All kinds of in

spread by coughing and sneezing
and by the fine spray from the
mouth that he spreads to every

him when he talks. Even if John

to tell, at the outset of a siege of
sore throat and sniffles, that it is
