Indians Not Sentimental,
But Have Sense of HumoT

Although Indians as a rule are
fond Of animals, they are not senti-
mental. AS we all know, the red
man prides himself on keeping his
feelings inside" He possesses a
queer sense Of humor. Something
which would strike a white man as
very funny might be witnessed by
the Indian with an expressionless
face, while something in the way Of
a surprise" would likely convulse
the latter with as much merriment
as he is capable of showing.
Said a westerner, when in Da-
kota I was inspecting a barn where
some Indian boys were milking.
There were Is stables. One of the
cows kicked over a miIk-pail, nearly
full Of milk. The Indian boy who
was milking was covered and drip
ping with milk and froth. Most Of
the Indian boys along the line Of
stables jumped up, laughing as
hard as they were capable of laugh
ing, gathering around him, as If
some great joke were in progress.
THE victim, instead of revenging
the accident on the COW, by hitting
back, lay down and rolled over with
mirth, as though the joke had been
on the COW, instead Of himself. This
was surely a fine example Of good
nature for the white man to emu
late"

If canyons then existed on the

''Drouth might very possibly
bring elephants in numbers to a
water hole, but If extreme drouth
caused the elephants to die at a
vanishing water hole, one would ex-
pect some of the other animals, par
ticularly bison, deer, and antelope,
to be associated with them. Epi-
demic disease would likewise bring
elephants to a water hole, and might
possibly affect only one genus or
one species of a fauna"

Conservation

A mint is made with double floors
so that the lower floor may catch
the tiny particles of gold that sift
down through the upper floor. We
need to have double floors in our
lives lest we waste some little bit Of
that priceless element, time. Once
lost, it can never be regained. Men
are to be distinguished from one
another by the way in which they
use or throw away their odd min
utes. Even the business life, if it
makes good use Of its odd minutes,
may be rich in knowledge and skill.
Libraries may be mastered by Is
minutes a day. Great books may
be written by Is minutes a day.

is as great in Nordic Minnesota as
it is in states where the sepia pop
ulation is large. The old chicken
and watermelon gag is as stale
journalism as the old standby
which made all hen house thieves
Aframericans in American news
paper stories.
Even a good newspaper man like
Hjalmar Petersen thinks it pass
ing strange that a sepia sheet
should be so independent as to
keep its editorial policies separate
from it's advertising cash register.
What Mr.. Petersen does not under
stand is that the Negro Press is
growing up. An attempt will
be made at the annual convention
of the Associated Iowa Clubs to
move the national headquarters of
the national body to Detroit.
Trivia: What st. Paul deacon
spent a night in Jail last week?
An irate husband "head-
whipped" both his Grant wife and
her b. f. Tuesday night in the
Flour City. One of the high
salaried buyers in a st. Paul de-
partment store who was formerly
a sepia, the wife whom he deserted
16 years ago to "cross the line"
visiting the Twin Cities two weeks
ago ran across him in the store.
He beat a hasty retreat but she
made no effort to harm him. She
has remarked. He's in the hospital
now with a nervous break-down!!!

Maybe you know the story but it
bears retelling. He met her young,
wronged her, because his parents
belonged to the smoother set and
her family did not rate, his parents
insisted that he leave town. The
piker left town, the girl became a
mother. The girl assisted by her
parents raised the child. The piker
son of the snobs is confined to an
Eastern penal institution - he
RATED" on someone once too often.
His parents met reverses and the
girl they and their son wronged
is feeding them now!!!

Eurone Part Of Continent

Great Britain, although an island,
is so close to the continent Of Eu-
rope that it is generally regarded
as being a part Of it. Scientists
are Of the opinion that the British
Isles, which are on what is known
as the continental shelf, were for
merly joined to the mainland and
were not separated from it until
comparatively recent times, geolog-
ically speaking. The rest Of the
world regards Great Britain as q
European nation, although the Brit
ish people themselves refer to con-
tinental Europe as "the continent"
to distinguish it from the British
Isles. Europe itself, strictly speak
ing, is not continent, but merely
part of the continent of Eurasia.

trust laws. MT. Arnold does not look upon these corporations or their officials as criminals in the sense of thieves or embezzlers. But he believes they at times do not hesitate to fix prices or take other steps for their corporate ad- vantage which cannot be condoned either as legal or good for the pub lie welfare.
 So he presses his criminal suits with the view of bringing either conviction or, better still, a con- sent decree under which the cor- poration will agree not only to suspend the practices complained against but to follow a future pat tern of conduct more in harmony with the public welfare.
 Recently this step was pursued against three finance companies accused of unfair practices in han ding the credit business of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler Mo- tors. The negotiations for the con- sent decree were carried on al- legedly without Knowledge of the court, and Judge Geiger of Minne- apolis threw out the whole action.
 The same case now is being pressed in another court under Arnolds new plan. He was not in charge in the first instance.

Personal Income
 Tax Exemptions
 May Be Lowered
Acting Secretary of Treas ury Makes Statement
 Hitting All Classes

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Roswell Magill, Acting Secretary of Treas ury, announced today that the Ad- ministration is now studying the feasibility of lowering the personal income tax exemptions.
 Magill declined to say whether he and other officials favored the reduction but did say the subject will certainly be one that will be studied in preparing broad tax re- vision proposals to be submitted to the next Congress.
 Congress in recent years has re- peatedly defeated efforts of Senator LaFollette to cut exemptions of single persons from $1,000 to $500 and heads of families from $2,500 to $2,O00.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 21-There are already two rather well-defined patterns outlined for managing monopolies and trusts, and both will be much aired in the upcoming in yeStigation to be conducted jointly by Congress and representatives of several downtown departments at a cost of $50O,0O0
 The Capitol Hill pattern, advo- cated by Senators Borah of Idaho and OMahoney of Wyoming, would require all corpora tions to be fed erally licensed before they operate in interstate commerce. That plan would put the Federal hand on every monopoly, since for all practical purposes all monopolies or monopo- listically inclined organizations are corporations, although it does not follow that all corporations are monopolies.
 It is the Borah-O Mahoney view that the Federal government could write into the law all conditions necessary to end harmful monop- oly and insure sensibly free and open competition. Any corporation refusing to be licensed or violating the law would be denied the right to operate in interstate commerce.
 The Senators contend that busi- ness would not be disrupted, put could operate on known Federal pattern. More important to these two western Senators, it would end in one act the free and easy practices allowed so-called "Dela- ware corporatio tions."

OWEN WISTER DIES SUDDEN.
 ILL Q NE DAY
Author of The Virginian ; Passes Away Visiting
 Summer Home

NORTH KINGSTON, R. L, July 21.-Owen Mister, 78 famous Am erican novelist, is dead as result of cerebral hemorrhage at his sum- mer home. He arrived there July 8 but became ill only yesterday. The remains will be taken to Philadel- phia for funeral services and in- terment.
 A visit to the west, necessitated by failing health, transformed Wis ter from a little known musical composer and author to one of the best known novelists of his day.
 MT. Mister had been graduated from Harvard and enthusiastically entered upon the study of music in Paris in the eighties when he was compelled to return to America. He became ill and in an effort to re- gain health, journeyed westward, eventually undertaking an elk hunting trip through Arizona and Wyoming.
 The impressions gained on that trip left a lasting mark upon the mind of the young musical com poser and some time later, MT. Wis ter determined to write a novel based upon experiences in the west.
 Publishes "The Virginian"
 A short time later, he published "The Virginian'' and leaped to fame. MT. Mister wrote other books based upon his knowledge of the west, but none attained the popularity of "The Virginian." That book was later dramatized and produced in the theaters of the country with success and then later filmed.
 Tender and expressive in his novels, MT. Mister nevertheless yielded caustic pen when he un- dertook to write about politics. His political writings oftimes brought down upon him the wrath of the people to whom he referred and many were unable to reconcile the human passages in the novels writ ten by MT. Mister with the heavy bludgeon he yielded in his politi- cal writings.
 Political Idealist
 MT. Mister was political idealist. On several occasions he undertook to upbraid the people of Pennsyl- vania for their submissive compli- ance to the orders of political bosses. In one article, he denounced the Pennsylvania German stock in his native state as most supine class of voters. The fact that MT Mister himself had a strain of Pennsylvan- ia German stock in him did not prevent the members of that folk from denouncing the novelist for his uncomplimentary references.
 On another occasion, MT. Mister announced his candidacy for City Council in Philadelphia in an effort
