SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1919 CLEARBROOK BOYS AND GIRLS EXHIBIT STOCK AT ST. PAUL SHOW Arrangements Being Made to Install New Light Plant in Clearbrook SN (Special to Pioneer.) Clearbrook, Nov. 22.—The issue, “Americanism.” Clarence Olberg trapped a big wolf last week. Ed. Boe has moved in and taken possession of the John Nelson’s resi- dence near the creamery. Henry Olberg and family are busy moving in and getting located in their home nere in town. A. P. Synness and Henry Olberg brought in a sheep and hog each for their boys, Ruben Symess and Clar- ence Olberg, Monday evening, which was shipped from here by express to South St. Paul, where they will be shown, at a state contest o- the boys _ and girls clubs, from almost every county in the state. They were ex- 4 cellent lookers, a pride to our coun- ! ty, and here is hoping they will win the prize which they have lab‘ored‘ 80 hard and consistently for during the past months. The boys left here Tues- day evening. William Munch, game warden for this district, called on the boys hgre ‘ Tuesday. He reports wholesale vio- 4 lation of the game laws this season | have already made 32 arrests in the | last two months. The offering of the Indian reserva- tions in this section of the state, in- cluding the Red Lake reservation, is fast assuring large proportions and concentrated efforts, with Indians fast getting back of it with a solid front. In a meeting at Thief River Falls last week. Theodore H. Beau- lieu of White Earth showed up clear- i ly, concisely the Indian situation. i Here is what the Tribune of Thief i River Falls has to say about Mr. Beaulieu’s talk: Mr. Beaulieu gave a very interest- ing talk on the subject and threw 3 considerable light on the present sit- 4 uation that is mow confronting the ) Indians. He showed how the de- partment of Indian affairs at Wash- ington was more of a hindrance to _the Indians than a help and that in- stead of promoting the interests of these people they were simply keep- ing an army of seven thousand em- ployed to see that the Indian did not get any too much money or freedom. In a few words Mr. Beaulieu con- vinced his audience of the utter lack of justice that is being shown the In- dians and the impossible things that were demanded of him by the depart- ment. . Mr.- Beaulieu -stated that in the late war there were no less than eleven thousand. Indians participat- ing and that many of them failed to return home, laying down their lives that democracy might reign supreme over the world. And in view of this ] the department fails to recognize { these men by granting them citizen- ship but instead doles out their small allowance in the customary manner and perpetually reminds them that they are incompetent to take care of themselves or to spend their money and for that reason this department has been created to take care of them and see that they do only those things thought best by the depart- ment. Regarding the opening of the lands Mr. Beaulieu pointed out the appar- ent fact that the Indian of today did not possess one inch of ground that he could call his own. While it is true he has the reservation, it is not his in any sense of the word and all that he does to develop the country is not of any particular benefit to him, but in a great measure helps the surrounding country and all the benefit realized by the Indian is the bare necessities of life that he is able to coax forth from the soil, and that with antiquated machinery and tools. Under the authority contained in the Nelson Act approved in January 1889, the government entered into an agreement with the Chippewas of this state by the terms and provisions of which the Indians ceded to the government all of their lands em- braced within ten reservations in the state of Minnesota except sufficient lands to ‘make allotments to the In- dians residing thereon, the lands to be opened to homestead entry under the homestead laws and the Indians to be paid $1.25 per acre for such lands homesteaded, to be placed in the treasury of the United States to the credit of the Indians, the same to bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent, three fourths of the interest ac- cruing on the principal fund to be paid in cash annually to the Indians and one fourth to be used annually exclusively for the establishment and maintenance of a system of free schools among the Indians and for their benefit until the free school system of the state was extended so as to provide school facilities for the children of the Indians and white settlers alike, the pricipal fund to members uf the Chippewa tribe and in utter disregard of said agreement with the Indians it _has ‘been better than thirty years since such agree- ment was entered into and no tan allotment has been made to an In- dian residing on the reservations and the Indian bureau has been obtaining from congress alrge sums out of the trust funds of the Indian upon the rassumption that the entire member- chip of the Chippewa tribe, number- ing about 12,000, were incompetent and incapable of managing their own affairs and that it was necessary for the government to maintain six agencies among the Indians with a large force of employees to properly protect and safeguard their property rights. Mr. Beaulieu showed that this movement would be'instrumental in the opening and settlement of from two to three hundred thousand acres of fine agricultural lands and that in addition it means the establishment of new towns.and better conditions generally for the Indians.” It is a pleasure to note that the real and unqualified freedom of the American Indians in our section of the state is at hand, and that the ‘““ward” system of the greatest of and ohly Ameriocans are to.be lifted at last. As far as the Red Lake In- dians are concerned their freedom cannot come t{o soon! Miss Caroline Larson, a sister of Mrs. Olaf Engen of this place arrived Monday evening for a visit with them.

MISERY AND DISTRESS Nineteen years ago chemist Begy discovered Mustarine. He made it with real, honest yellow mustard. To which other pain relieving ingredients were added. He said to the medical profession: “Here is something twice as effective as your old fashioned, mussy, blistering mustard plaster.” “It’s full of concentrated heat and heat eases pain.” “It won’t blister—it can’t blister.” “And one box will do the work of 50 mustard plasters.” The doctors tried it—were astonished—almost amazed. It stopped pains, aches and soreness quicker than anything they had ever seen. They prescribed it for sprains and strains, for lumbago and gout. They found it invaluable to quickly reduce inflam- mation and remove congestion. They urged its use in Tonsilitis, Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Sore Throat and Chest Colds and found it wonderful. They grew enthusiastic—Mustarine was great. They tried it for rheumatism to limber up stiff joints and muscles and it didn’t disappoint. If you haven’t tried Begy’s Mustarine get a small box at your druggists today—it costs but little, the results are mar- velous—but be sure it’s Begy’s—the quickest jain killer on earth—always in the yellow box, 30 and 60 cents.
