State College, Especially Last summer, Orland Moody,
of Kosciusko, answered a call from the county agent to go
to another county and help on the farm. In a few days
Orland, who is a All Club boy, learned to operate a tractor
and he wrote his mother, when I get back home, you
and Dad have got to buy me a tractor, so we can farm in
a better way and enjoy it." 4n41 eo
Well, here are Orland and his tractor. He and his
father are not only enjoying work on thier farm" but
Orland has cut 1877 acres for rs different farmers in Attala

Orland has been working part of the time day and
night to help out on the farm front and later he plans to
cut and seed oats for the public. n

EVERYBODY is Ignorant, only on
different Subjects" -. Will Rogers
Evening star., 1945-04-15

in his thick fingers and indites-
slowly. painstakingly. When his
column called Indian News" is
finished, he usually wheedles taxi
fare to get back to the Indian
Mission where he lives a seemingly
quiet life on his pension.
Somebody once asked Cloud
whether he was married to the
Indian woman with whom he was
residing. I'm married Indian FASH
ion," Charlie replied gravely. II
don't ask you what fashion you're
married"
Nobody knows how Charlie first
broke into reporting. Now Y, he
was born near Millston, Wis, a
member of the Winnebago tribe.
Good Reporter
BEST guess is that Charlie once
came into the Banner" office to
contribute an item, got an invita-
ton to send in more, and has been
writing his column ever since.
Occasionally he reminisces on
the old days. "A man he remem-
bers him when Indian report came
back from Carlisle and he had
Kodak take picture every where
and one day he try take pictures
two Indian girl near old wagon
bridge and he want to take pic
ture both get mad at him. They
chase him away, no want picture
taken. Now all girls like have pic
lures taken, maybe get in movies"
Like every good reporter, Char
lie tries for scoops. Sometimes they
get him in trouble. Once after
reporting the death of an Indian,
he had to retract in the next issue:
1--WE had made a mistaken on
Frank Mike passed away. He is at
first place but he is life again two
or three hours afterward, is living
now. We hope he can live just
as long as he can, and he is too
old now, but he love to live and
see the things going on"
Sometimes Charles column
fails to appear. 1t may be for space
reasons. Or, as Charlie himself has
put it: mot much news this week.
Indian report in Jail"
Whenever that happens, his
readers set up a howl. Charlie just
shrugs. Which makes him the
envy of every reporter with
hangover who ever wanted to kick
a deadline in the teeth.
Evening star., 1945-04-15
Meet Charlie Cloud,
an Indian who runs a
weird gossip column

NTOT long ago when the citi-
Y zens of Black River Falls,
Wis, came across an item in their
weekly newspaper, the Banner
Journal," they chuckled. Charlie
had done it again.
Bad news. Milwaukee paper
say a report asked FDR where
find Atlantic Charter. He say no
Atlantic Charter. just think so,
and l think somebody been stole
or may be get lost and this more
jobs for to find out these things"
Unique among hosts of pale-face
pundits, Charlie Round Low Cloud
is one of Americas few Indian
columnists. Weekly for 26 years
he has pontihcated to a fascinated
audience. His readers number
thousands - more whites than
Indians. And some 1000 service
men eat him up.
Once Charles fine disregard for
grammar used to worry his editor.
But for years now his prose has
been printed just as received to
preserve its own inimitable charm.
Covers Everything
lLoUD covers everything from
the weather to the state of the
world. The days are getting long
er, few minutes" he writes. Or
"Cranberry growers everywhere
say too much fire worm this year
and some time make look like
fire. Some time have worm like
apple worm too and get too dry,
too much rain and some freeze"
If that's confusing it's also a
delight to readers who like to see
if they can follow him. But Charlie
also has the uncanny faculty of
often hitting the head exactly on
the nail with wonderful philoso-
phies. Indian scalp his enemy"
he wrote, but now the white peo-
pie he skin his friends. That he
called Business.
Despite his short. squat un-
beautifulness, Charlie has all the
poise in the world. Once a week
he arrives at the Banner Journal"
Office and takes over. Charlie

 PROGRAM FOR HAAS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The CO., ordination of all activities of the U. s. Department of Labor in Alaska has, been provided for in an order issued by Secretary of Labor Per- kinS.
 Alaska Delegate E. L. Bartlett said the order is identical with one re- gently issued for Hawaii and will permit the more orderly handling of department matters in the Terri tory.
 Michael J. Haas, Department Rep resentative in Alaska for the Wage, Hour and Public Contracts Division, has been designated as Territorial representative for all department ac- tivities. While his primary re- sponsibility will remain in connec- ton with the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Walsh Healy Act, he will act generally as the depart ment's coordinating agent.
 Delegate Bartlett described the order as a significant forward step in the. Department of Labor's ad- ministration in the Territory.

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Lt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army,

WASHINGTON-On the surface the Good Neighbors" meeting in Mexico City, scheduled to open to- day, will be composed of friendly, 100 per cent Allies of the United States against the Axis But be- heath the surface they will be irritated at several things which have lowered Good Neighbor" prestige to about the lowest ebb since 1927 when ' s. Marines invaded Nicaragua.
 Irritant No. D-Is growing in- dication that the ,U. S. A. intends to keep certain Latin-American bases after the war. There is noth- ing that rifles Latin-America more than American armed forces on their soil
 Irritant No. 2)-Is the peremp- tory way President Roosevelt re- gently demanded that six Good Neighbors" come into the war Some people wondered why Peru Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Ecuador dropped up to the Allied table just as the Red Army neared Berlin and signed up.
 This was not because they wanted to. It was because they got a letter from no less than the Presi- dent of the United States telling them to join the Allies-or else.
 The "or else" was warning that they could not sit at the United Nations conference, now scheduled for San Francisco, if they did not declare war.
 What made the Latins doubly sore was their belief that Roosevelt was acting at the instance of Stalin who had laid down the. law that no non-belligerent could sit in United Nations councils. Most of the Latin-American Govern ments don't recognize Stalin and don't like dictation from him even if indirect.
 Also they remembered the oral word of the State Department that all they had to do was to break relations. with the Axis. not declare war. For instance, Chile, when it broke with the Axis, informed the State Department that it was also ready to declare war. But Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles, after conferring with the White House, told them this would be un- necessary. All we wanted was a

f2oopLANES STRIKE AT
 NUREMBERG
Sixteen Bombers, Carrying 144 Men, Lost in
 Raid

LONDON, Feb. 21.--More than 1900 American bombers, escorted by $50 fighters, today attacked rail and industrial targets at Nuremberg for the second consecutive day.
 More than 900 U. s. Fortresses blasted the Nuremberg yards yester- day. These yards are filled with trains, possibly loaded with the eff fects and records of government ministries moving out of Berlin.
 Mayo broadcasts reported spear heads of two American formations over Thuringia and Franconia which indicated another deep pene- tration of the Reich, possibly to support the Russian armies.
 The 1900 bomber strike against Nuremberg today is the biggest con- centration against a single target since 1900 planes hit Cologne last October
 An American communique said severe damage was done yesterday Twenty-Five hundred rail cars were packed in the Nuerberg yards.
 Sixteen bombers, carrying IA men, and g escorting fighters, were lost in yesterdays raid on Nuern- berg.
 Ioday's assault followed the 1900 plane strike of the RAF against Dortmund, Berlin and Mannheim. The RAF lost 21 planes in night op- erations.
