soldiers brave, Sitting Bull replied
emphatically: mo. They ran when
they saw us"
He considered that to call the Custer
battle massacre" was misnomer,
I'VE did not seek to fight; they came
into our country to kill us. 1t was not
a massacre, it was war"
On being asked if he killed Custer,
he angrily exclaimed, ut is lie. I
did not kill Yellow Hair. He was
fool. He rode TO his death"
Historians have frequently expressed
similar opinion of General Brad
dock, because he refused to follow the
advice of the Americans, who were
trained Indian fighters, yet his defeat
was never called massacre Brad
dock, with his brilliant-coated soldiers,
tried to battle with the Indians in
regulation British style. His defeat
was from the first a foregone con-
cluSion.
Custer, on the contrary, had served
long apprenticeship as an Indian
fighter. He should have understood
Indians we'll enough to know they
would be prepared to receive him. His
failure in this respect more than his
signal disobedience of orders, caused
his death, and led to Sitting Bulls I'M
flattering estimate of his intelligence.
But for the tolerance of Sitting Bull,
Renos men, like those of Custer,
would certainly have been slain. As
his warriors were about to attack
Reno, they heard that some of the
white soldiers had escaped, and hav-
ing discovered the women's place Of
concealment, were killing them. The
Indians rushed to their defense. When
they learned they had been deceived,
the Indians wished to return. and wipe
out Reno's command, but Sitting Bull
gave orders to the contrary. I'VE have
killed enough" he said. Let the rest
go back and take care of the women
and children, and tell the people how
the Indians can fight"
The warriors were greatly disap-
pointed at this order as they had
planned to defeat not only Reno, but
the walking soldiers" under Terry.
Sitting Bull told Father Genin he
wanted to go back to his lands in
North Dakota, and that he could live
well there "if they will only let us
alone" He protested he did not want
to fight, and always avoided it when
possible.
Innumerable accounts have been
given of the Custer battle, but no two
from precisely the same standpoint.
This of Father Genin's is that of one
who was friendly to the Sioux. but
who did not fail to criticize Sitting
Bull, when justified.

The United States then welcomed
all aliens. especially those who were
revolutionists. Today, such a person
would be debarred from entrance. In
this instance, his activities against the
British government won Meagher con-
siderable prestige. His ability was

he married the daughter of wealthy

had found it difficult to fill, other
appointees not caring to exile them
selves so far from civilization.
An Irish Gentleman
Let the reader imagine, if he can,
what preparation General Meagher
had for coping with pioneer condi-
tons. Although revolutionist, he was
not a democrat in the larger in

SURVEY REVEALS
URBAN WORKERS
Big WAGE BOOST

Earnings of the average American
urban worker rose three times as fast
as living costs in 1912. according to a
family buying power study by North
western National Life Insurance Co.
Including overtime. average monthly
earnings have climbed 10 percent since
Jan. l, against percent rise in fam
lily living expenses in the same period.
the study shows, noting that pay en-
velopes Of many war workers have in
creased more than the Is percent
figure, while pay boosts in some of
the peace time" businesses have run
considerably less.
Yet the average pay check boost so
far in 1912 is enough to cover the
worker family's new income tax and
victory tax combined, with some mar
gin left over.
Ironically enough. the worker finds
it steadily more difficult to enjoy his
increased buying power, due to the
growing scarcity of things to buy,
combined with the inflationarv threat
of his own soaring wages.
He finds his expanded wage scale
actually threatening his own family's
food supply, by attracting labor away
from farms already shorthanded from
the draft and already straining to
meet extra demands for food for the
armed services and lend-lease.
The rise in food prices alone since
the first of the year accounts for
three-fourths of the total increase in
family living costs since then. A small
rise in clothing prices accounts for
nearly all OF the remaining increase in
expenses.

series of studies.
An average American workers FAM
lily Of four, with a monthly pay check
of $40 in 1888 and expenses of the
same amount at average 1888 prices,

January, 1912, while at average retail
prices the same family's living costs
had risen only to S145.26, to support
the scale Of living for which it had
paid S120 in 1888.
Hits Jackpot in 1912
But by October, 1912. the family's
paycheck hit the jackpot for s20903,
a rise of nearly s24, or Is percent, in
10 months, while living expenses rose
approximately Sc. or 4 percent, to
S151.16.

sumner buying power that is piling up.
Bullying over a shrinking supply of
goods, it is bringing on rationing and
a whole succession of government
measures aimed to curb it before it
wrecks itself and the nations economy.
Finally, the study points out that
the average worker family's pay check
has increased IA percent since 1888,
but three-fourths of that increase has
occurred since September, 1888, when
the humiliating Munich pact spurred
Allied rearmament and started war
industries humming in the United
States. So that the increased buying
power now in the hands of the Ameri-
can consumer is largely war profits"

THATCHER WHEAT
WILL BOW SOON
TO NEW VARIETY

Thatcher wheat, the salvation of
spring wheat farmers during the stem
rust epidemics of a few weeks ago,
soon may be supplanted by a new
strain which outyields 1t by almost
so percent, the University Of Minnesota
announced.
DR.. H. K. Hayes, chief of the uni
versity's academy division, said the
new strain has produced 10 bushels
more to the acre of wheat that
averaged two pounds heavier test
weight, in tests over a 3-year period.
The new strain, designated now only
by a number, is a backcross Of
Thatcher with Hope, another strain
of wheat, and retains the desirable
characteristics of Thatcher while add
ing from Hope the strong resistance to
leaf rust which Thatcher lacked It
was developed by University Of
Minnesota and United States depart
ment of agriculture agronomists, as
was the original Thatcher.
Prior to the introduction of Thatcher
in 1884, spring wheat farmers often
lost their entire crop when stem rust
was severe When stem rust attacks
a susceptible variety, it may kill the
plant, while leaf rust. which tends to
defoliate the plant, usually results in
fewer kernels per head and a reduc-
ton in the weight of the kernels
themelves Defoliation reduces the
ability of the plant to manufacture
plant food from sunlight through the
process known as photosynthesis.
In rod-row trials the last three sea-
sons, Thatcher grown at university
farm and three sub-stations, averaged
24.5 bushels per acre of SAT- pound test
weight, while the backcrosses averaged
BAT bushels Of 56.8 pounds.
For the same period, Thatcher
averaged an IS percent infection of
leaf rust, while the backcrosses aver
aged only Ct percent.
Even before Thatcher was released
for commercial growing eight years
ago, experiments were started to OBJ
tain a wheat with the same char
acteristics Of Thatcher, plus resistance
to leaf rust.
A striking example of how the back
cross strain outperforms Thatcher
under severe leaf rust conditions was
given this year at university farm.
Thatcher, showing an 80 percent in
lection Of leaf rust, yielded 26.2 bushels
Of SIS pound test weight wheat to the
acre; the best Of the backcrosses, with
only q trace Of leaf rust, produced
448 bushels Of SIT pound wheat, or
70 percent higher. =
When the new wheat will be re-
leased for commercial growing depends
on the action this winter of the

the state.

Nickel Displaced Quarter
Like the shifting of the scenes in
theater, the advent of the Northern
Pacific railroad in 1887 brought about
a complete change in the methods
and manners of the people. The rail-
road brought the community at once
in touch with the more concise and
narrower life of "the states" the
nickel displaced the quarter" as
the smallest coin in use. and prices
shrunk accordingly.
The prosperity of early day Miles

So each and this money found its way

Then followed the cattle era. A pop

abandoned and turned loose to die
came out in the spring fat and fine.
This was followed by the introduction
of cattle and in the course Of few
years Miles City became the headquar-
tiers of stockmen of southeastern Mon
tana, a business that was continued
with great profit until the coming Of
the homesteader put an end tc the
free range.
