Early in March, armed and
men descended upon the settlers
around Lake Okoboji in Iowa and
killed about thirty persons. After
a few days Of feasting, they head
ed north into Minnesota. A pass
ing white man saw the burned
cabins and the Indians tracks He
guessed that they were going to
the settlement Of Springfield.
Minnesota, now called jackson in
Scott county. He succeeded in
getting to Springfield in time to
warn the people Of Inkpaduta's
approach.
The Wood brothers, who were
traders at Springfield, had had
dealings with the Indians, and
they could not believe that Ink
paduta would harm them. In any
case, 1t was impossible to get
help in time, for the nearest white
men were sixty miles away
The Indians struck on March
20, and had it not been for the
warning, the whole settlement
would probably have been wiped
out. As 1t was, seven people were
killed and three women were TAX
en- into captivity, two of whom
were killed later.

the legislature, Ramsey urged
that the expenses Of the state
government be cut.
The legislature took him at his
word, slashing his salary from
twenty-five hundred to fifteen
hundred dollars a year. The sal
aries Of other state officials were
also trimmed.
In addition, the legislature re-
duced its own size, cutting the
number Of senator's from thirty
seven to twenty-one and represen-

Lawson Archives

Many men in public life accum.
ulate vast files Of correspondence
and information. Some are locked
up to be opened at some future
date. Others go into the archives
OF historical societies for use of
the public. The Minnesota Society
has accumulated a priceless re-
serve of historical information in
the official and personal records
of many men.
Victor f, Lawson, who has
been sixty years in the newspaper
business primarily as publisher OF
the Willmar Tribune, has always
had a consuming interest in the
history of his community and
state, No county has a more sys-
temauc accumulation OF histori-
cal material than Mr.. Lawson has
gathered for Kandiyohi.
There are great numbers of
books and files for which Mr..
Lawson hopes TO erect a fireproof
structure so that they may be
housed near to the people most in
terested in them. There are SIT
bound volumes Of pamphlets. Two
hundred scrapbooks contain much
that is OF local interest.
In addition to books and papers
Mr., Lawson has more than two
thousand records from bygone
days, which he plays, satisfactor-
lily to him, on a fifty year old Vic
trola. His records are of national
music from many countries. He
also saved political speeches from
the days before the radio. Most
people threw away such material
sometimes to the later satisfaction
OF some prominent politicians. Mr..

Salaries of general maids

Work schedules have been

If the agencies are right,
many employers are not ex-
actly ecstatic about the cali
Der of service they're getting
now. Some of them think
the quality has degenerated
to a level not too far above
incompetency since the end
Of the war.
And the relationship be-
tween worker and employer
is getting less coy all the
time. There aren't many
domestics around now who
are coming to be considered
members of the family.
AS a matter of fact, there
are fewer and fewer who even

BEVERLY HILLS. Calf.
I'm this lush land of silk
and money-where even the
dogs wear starched collars
any insinuation of widespread
poverty would provoke civic
outrage.
But there still are plenty
of people around who need
help-and can't get 1t.
The help they're looking
for is not the kind you get
from a bank. What they want
comes in several classical
tons: Maids. buffers. cooks
and chauffeurs.
Servants are so scarce here
and in other silver spoon
areas around Los Angeles
that top-drawer husband
and-wife team can earn the
equivalent of $3.50 a month
in domestic service. Which, if
it could be construed to be a
slave wage. might lead to
the conclusion that freedom
should be abolished.
But, appealing as the
money sounds, a lot of do
meStics are getting undomes-
ticated. And the outlook for a
greater supply is-as a num-
Der of experts have expressed
it-lousy.
A War Casualty
The people who run the
domestic employment agen-
cies here can tell you why.
One of them reports:
Before the war, many of
our best domestics were
Europeans - people really
trained for the job. But the
war took people into different
lines of work in Europe Just
as it did here. Now there just
aren't as many young people
getting into the business, Ell
ther here or abroad"
Another agency operator
reported:
"a lot of our people are
turning to eight-hour-a-day
commercial work, where they
feel they have greater oppor-
tunities. The supply of do
mestics has gone down Is
per cent since the end of the
war, and it was diminishing
even then"
All the agencies agreed
that more young people to-
day are finishing high school,
going to college, and emerg-
ing with qualifications that
lead them to more reward
ing pursuits than piano dust
ing and onion peeling.
The recession has had no
effect on the local situation,
Employers want trained do
mestics and none of these
are among unemployed from
other industries.
There also was unanimous
agreement that potential
servants are becoming in

Future Gloomy
In downtown Los Angeles,
at the State employment
service office, there was an
even gloomier forecast of the
future of domestic employ
ment. John v. Nicholson, an
employment security officer
who specializes in domestic
placements, had this to say:
THE trend certainly in

pearance of this type of
