John Hunter was a prisoner of
the PaWnee Indians for only a
short time before an attack canle
from a war party of Kansa In
dians. The fighting was furious
but short. When it was over, many
a Pawnee warrior lay dead or
dying.
A few of the Pawnees were cap
tured and with them the white
boy. The captives were led to a
Kansa village to be tortured.
Even though John was only
boy and was white, he might have
suffered the same fate as the Paw
nee warriors if q squaw In the
village had not caught sight of him
She shouted
Il want this boy to be my son!
Let him take the place of the son
have lost!"
So it happened that the young
prisoner was saved. He was adopted
in the squaw,s family and a Kansa
warrior became his foster father.
That was the start Of years of
life among the Kansa Indians. John
was treated like the other bows
and grew to be friend of the
chief called Shut-she-naw. This
chief sometimes called the boys to-
gether and gave them advice about
life. Here are some OF the things
he said:
always defend your hunting
ground. When you grow to man
hood, never let your squaWs suffer
from hunger.
When strangers visit your vii
lage, treat them well. 1t is wrong
to insult a stranger who comes as
a guest"
There were white men on the
Western plains who traded with
the Indians. In exchange for buf-
/ falo hides and other furs, these
traders sometimes offered rum OF
whisky. Chief Shut-she- nav said te
the boys:
DO not drink the poison waite,
OF the white man. 1t Is sent by the
EVIL Spirit to destroy the Indian.
John spent hours with that eooc
chief, asking him questions and
listening to his words. At othe,
times he helped the squaws witt
their work and played with Kansf
boys. There were foot races and
jumping contests and sometime
there was little hunting triu

shoot small game. "

YOU CAN'T balance your
food budget these days? Then,
let us tell you about a few of
the good buys" at Center
Market City.
First of all, how about chic
ken parts? We know one
thrifty housewife who bought
two pounds of chicken wings
the other day, fed a family of
five on them-fried chicken
and had a piece or two left
over. Chicken wings are rea-
sonable, and a good chicken
a la king can be made from
them, too. Creamed chicken
on toast, or even a chicken
salad. If your family goes for
legs, the same thing applies
to them. You might investi-
gate the possibilities of chicken
parts when your budget needs
balancing.
We've dozens of reliable
poultry dealers at Center Mar
ket City, and you'll find chic
ken parts for sale at practically
all of them. If you don't want
to invest in a whole chicken
and there are only two of you
in the family, buy your favor
ite pieces and fry them.
And speaking of frying chic
kens, have you tried frying
them in chicken fat? Being a
Southerner, we belong to the
lard school, and since butter
is a luxury these days, you
might try chicken fat instead.
Personally, we think nothing
tastes SO good as chicken fried

Uncle Ruy's Corner

There are several kinds of strange
beetles, but none Is stranger than
"carrion beetles" also called bury
ing beetles" They are the grave
diggers of the insect world!
Millions of field mice pass their
lives at some distance from the
homes of men. They eat grain and
other crops, and in their turn they
are food for various animals.
Let field mouse die in mead
ow or other field, and along may
come a pair of carrion beetles.
They have smelled the body, and
they want to bury it!
The work of digging the grave
soon starts. A little furrow is
made around the body, then an
other and another. The male seems
to do most of the work.
Holes are dug under the dead
mouse Within about two hours,
the ground is so much weakened
by the holes, or tunnels, that the
body sinks. Later it is covered
with the bits Of dirt which the
beetles brought up while digging
the grave.
What good insects the carrion
beetles sound like! It may seem
that they have only one purpose
to give decent burial to mice and
other small dead animals which
they find-but wait a minute! Be-
fore body is covered, both the
male and female are likely to eat
a bit Of it. and the female lays
batch OF eggs on it.
Why do the carrion beetles cover
the body? To hide it from such
creatures as carrion crows! A car
rion crow might find the dead
mouse and eat it, and then the
beetle eggs would be lost. In some
ways these insects have learned to
put dead bodies. where they will
be out Of sight.
Carrion beetles live in North
America, also in Europe. There are
several kinds, and they differ wide
ly in size. Some get to be two
inches long. Others are less than
half an inch in length when they
are full grown. Commonly they
are black, with yellow or orange
markings.
Sometimes half a dozen or more
carrion beetles work on the burial
of a single animal, such as a rat.
1t may take six or seven hours
to dig the grave, but they finish
the task.

DenieId Held Resident
OF State for } Years,
But Still Faces Trouble
BY the Assoeioied Press

! BOSTON, Aug. 26. Admiral
Louis E. Denfeld, candidate TOR
the Massachusetts, Republican
gubernatorial nomination. has
been declared a resident of the
State for the last three years.
The ruling was made by Tax
Commissioner Henry F. Long yes
terday when he accepted personal
income tax payments for 1947,
1943 and 1949.
However, there's still a cloud
over Admiral Denfeld's eligibility
to hold State Office since the State
constitution requires seven years
residence.
Although Mr.. Long accepted
$323.43 for the three years taxes,
he refused payment for eight
other years back to 1899. That's
the year set by Admiral Denfeld
as the time he has been a bona
f1de resident of the State.
The commissioner waived pen
alties and interests on the re-
turns he accepted. He said pen
altles OF S. day, plus interest,
back to 1899 could have cost
Admiral Denfeld more than $780,
900.
Admiral Denfeld claims his
legal residence has been West
ooro. Mass, since 1899, where his
family has lived since the Civil
war. The former chief of naval
operations says his lawyer has
