LIVESTOCK
ON CROW RESERVATION
and has since proved itself to be
a boon for the Indians.

and has since proved itself to be
a boon for the Indians.
The liberal education of the In
ian is also not overlooked or neg
lected on the Crow reservation.
Since the assumption of cle SUI
perintendency of the Crow reSer-
walton, Superintendent Yellowtail
has made it his chief concern to
push to the utmost the education
of Crow Indian young people. not
only through the schools of Big
Horn county, but in the best uni
verSities of the Pacific coast re-
gion. To date there are scattered
throughout the universities of the
Pacific coast area eighteen or more
Crow students who have graduated
and who are still in school with a
large number that r following
up and who will be ready to take
on professional careers in the best
schools of our country in a very
short time. The superintendent
holds that soon after the first con-
tact of the Indians and the
whites, the Indians, in all their
relations, have been the under
dogs; their rights as humans
:Rave been denied them, not only
in the courts of the land, but by
the government and the white
population generally; that on &C.
count of his ignorance, because he
has neglected his liberal education,
the Indian has been made an easy
prey and, to overcome this and to
effect the real emancipation of the
Indians from the condition of
serfdom in which they have been
living, Superintendent Yellowtail
states it is necessary that the IN
dian receive the mental education
and development offered in the
best universities Of the United
States. In this regard, he points
with pride to the fact that Crow
students are yearly graduating
from our best schools as highly
trained professional people and
that within the very near future
he sees no reason why the Crow
Indians should not be able to lake
over the entire administration Of
their own property here and con-
duct it as they should, with an
ownership interest involved, which
means wise and judicious manage
ment of their large empire here.
ALI of these things are but a part
of the present administrations
program of general education OF
the Indians of the United States.
These measures are being carried
out with pleasing results on the
Crow Indian reservation.
The superintendent h e r
states that next fall when the
Crow Tribal fair is again staged
the people of this part of the
country will be enabled to wit
ness one of the best fairs that 1t
is possible to put on by a COM
munity of this size, where there
is good livestock, representing ev-
cry breed of horses and cattle,
mixed with high grade Indian
shows, such as was exhibited here
very recently,

BY Local Physicians at Tuesday
Evening Meeting Hardin
WOman's Club.

The Hardin Woman's club had
the privilege, last Tuesday even
ing, of listening to two fine ad-
dresses on health information
which every Intelligent woman
should understand. DR.. D. M.
Strang spoke on the dread dis
ease Syphilis" which claims prob
ably one or more persons out of
twelve and which is durable, il
taken care of properly and before
it becomes too far advanced.
DR.. L. H. Labbitt discussed "Tu-
berculosis" and Cancer" espec-
tally along the lines of informa-
ton needed by mothers and women
and showed how unnecessary it Is
to succumb to either of these dis
eases if symptoms are recognized
early and proper are is given.
There was a lively discussion on
all three of these instructive adj
dresses.
Miss A. Ross and Mrs. o. Y. Weir
were hostesses at a social hour,

The. girls hair, where it was re-

shining gold, combed closely over q
small white ear. The brows were a
trife darker, more pronounced than
the mode favored by most young
women.
Two eyes, blue as cornfiowers and
set rather wide apart, looked out
frankly. The clear smooth complex
ion appeared to be innocent Of make
up. The firm lips Of the generous
mouth likewise were unlimited.
The trim black suit baftied Miss
Taggart's analysis somewhat. 1t was
simple in design, SO simple that It's
expensiveness was q matter for con-
lecture. The voice, when the caller
spoke, was in keeping with her ap-

but surprisingly rich, framing its
words with a certain deliberateness.
