Gilmore Gives Correct Interpretation of Name Be- stowed on Great General All the mystery of the Indian un- derstanding of life, earth, water and sky entered into the h which the members of the Teton tribe named Marshal Foch and smoked with him the pipe of peace, i in R, Gilmore, cut- according to Melvin R, Gi Le eae of the North Dakota Historical Society. In the rush of completing the ceremony within the allotted few interpretation was inutes, a wrong interpretation mace bestowed by laced upon the name i Red Tomahawk, according to Mr. Gil- more, Who had the Indian chief repeat the name after the ceremony, that he might be certaig of having it correct- ly plactd in hi historical records. Marshal Foch is placed in the myth- ology of the Tetons as Charging Light- ning, the words for thunder and light- ning being almost the same. Dr. Gilmore’s histori of the event says in part : arshal Foch was met by a dele- gation of Teton-Dakotas from the Standing Rock reservation of the Dakota nation. ‘The leader of this del- egation was Reqitomahawk, who cere- monially ae canbe a pipe to Marshal Foch, and also .¢onferred upon him a name in the Dakota nation. In his speech to the Marshal he said: ‘My friend: ‘The first time I ever heard of the great general, (Marshal Foch, was at the time when we sent. our young men to France. At that time I hever thought that I should ever see the great general; but today I have the honor and the pleasure to see him, and I am glad. The young men of the French nation and young men of the Dakota nation fought. together ‘in the same cause against our com- mon eneniy, and some of both na+ tions died together in that struggle and were buried in the same ground’ - “Then he held up the pipe and said: ‘Among my. people, the Dakotas, it is our custom to offer the pipe and smoke together; so in like manner I wish to smoke with the Marshal and to give him this pipe as a token vt friendship. Now,the meaning of the statement > pipe and its parts are these: the pipe- bowl is made fron\ catlinite, a red stone which is found only in south- western Minnesota. The,stone in this use signifies firm and lasting friend- ship. The pipewtem is of fashwood, and signifies that our friendship shall be durable and unbroken. The hollow of the pipestem through~which we draw the smoke is straight, signifv- ing that ‘the words proceeding from our lips shall be just and true, ‘and that our paths shall be straight. The colors of these ribbons upon the pipe- stem also*have their meaning. The white signifies that all: former dif- ferences are Cleared away, and» we shall be candid friends. The red rib- bon is the color of blood arid signifies that we are all of one blood.! “Then Red-tomahawk held the pipe first to the North, then Bast, to South and to the West; then aloft the ISky, then downwards to Mother Earth. ‘his was a form of invocation to all tthe Divine Powers, “He then lighted the pipe and drew upon it, and then offered the mouth- » piece ‘to the Marshal, who also drew ) upon it, and then to Maj. Welch. “Red Tomahawk was obliged to ab- breviate the ceremony because of the Jack of time. also abbreviated the explanations ofthe symbolism for the same reason. ‘If time had permitted all should have been seated upon the ground. “The material for smoking, with which the pipe was filled, was a mixture of tobacco and the inner bark of a native shrub, a species of dogwood, Cornus stolonifera “Tobacco is invested with some- thing of mystery and sacredness in the Indian thought, and was used cere- monically in tlté manner of incense,’ “After delivering the pipe to Mar- shal Foch, Red-tomahawk declared his desire and purpose to confer upon the Marshal the honor of a name in the Dakola matioi, Wakinyan Watakpe. This name with which Red-tomahawk invested the Marshal has a signifi- cance in connection with the historic message sent hy the Marshal at the first battle of the Marne: ‘The, situa- tion“is excellent. I am attacking!’ The “ meaning of the Dakota word Watakpe is ‘to make an attack, ‘to charge.’ ‘The meaning of the Dakota word Wak- inyan, is lightning. Therefore, the meaning of the name is ‘lightning at- tack,’ or ‘Lightning-which-attacks,” _ Beulah Deep Mined Coal.

D., Jan. 6—Several years will be required before deflation will have become complete and before the | relative prices of farm products, aom- pared to other commodities, are nor- | mal, in the opinion of Rex B. Willard, | farm economist, ‘North Dakota Experi- | mental Station, who proposes regula- | tion of production by the farmer as a | means of he ing the adjustment. | Conclusions reached by Mr. Willard | from a study of price trends following | wars in which the United States has | ‘heen involved, follow: The adjustment fiollowing the world war is taking place much more rap- idly than following the Civil War. | Since the world crop of wheat inj 1921 was above normal by approxi- seem that the advisable thing would be the substitution of some other crop or forage for a part of the wheat acre- | age for 1922. . It is impossible for farmers to long continue with the present price ra- tios.in effect,and none can change this condition so readily as the farm- er himself in a concerted way, by reg- | ulating his production, i Since the;corn in North Dakota is | not produced for market purposes, its ; gnowing should be continued. Potatoes have been one of the most. profitable crops produced in this state, and their production should be urged. -Sweet clover and other forage cnops suitable for livestock consumption | seem opportune. | The relative price of dairy pro-; ducts has “continued to be high, com- | pared to other products, and there- fore the time is opportune for exten- | sion of this enterprise. War Causes Upsets “War always causes serious upsets | in- price relationships,” Mr. Willard says, “as indicated from records ‘of | three wars in the United States. The {sudden and excessive demands for l various products, .especially food pro- ducts; is largely responsible for this. During the war of, 1812, prices ad- vanced about 150 per cent; during the Civil War, prices advanced about 100 per cent; and during the (World ‘War, about 150 per cent. | “The fall of prices after the World | War was much more rapid in the first three years than during the same per- iod following the Civil War. It re- quired 12 to 14 years to reach the normal price level follwing the Civil War, and the hopeful thing is that the period of deflation will be very much,} shorter at, this time. sa “Farm products in the case of every | warliave advanced in pri¢e more rap- idly than any other products; while on the other hand, following the wars, farm products have gone down in price very much more’ rapidly than ‘any other product. This was true fol- lowing the War of 1812, following the Civil War, and following the late war. “Of the various groups of products manufactured or produced in the United States, farm products advanced more rapidly than cloths, ° clothing, ete; but just following the close of the war, cloths and clothing, house furnishing, lumber, etc., exceeded the relative buying power of farm pro- ducts. Since that time farm products have gone downward until at present they are at approximately prewar level, and many other groups are still 100 per cent above normal. “Farmers can contnol prices’ their products only by producing in guantities sufficiént only to supply the demand at a reasonable price.” CANNOT FORGIVE + THEIR ENEMIES Paris, Jan. 6.—People of the north of France whose territory was so long occupied by the enemy, have not for- gotten or forgiven the Germans for their excesses in the war. A war council at Lille has jusfpass- ed a number of sentences against Ger- man officers and soldiers for crimes committed during the invasion. The | condemned were not present tg be! tried, so that these sentences can only be put into effect if one of the guilty persons should be arrested in France. | General Muller was condemned to five years imprisonment .and 500! francs fine for’stealing objects of art} of Bier eine: ..| and furniture at Caudry.

QUICK ACTION IN OHIO COURT Elyria, ‘Ohio. Jan. 6—Common pleas court here recently established ‘what is believed to be a-record for speed in a lawsuit. From the time James George, in be- half of William James George, his son, filed a petition for $2,000 damages against the Richwine Ice Cream Co. for injuries sustained by the boy, when he was thrown into the wheel of the defendant's automobile while coasting, up to the time a check for $875, in judgment against the company was given, the total time elapsed was 26! minutes. During this time, the’ ice cream com- ‘pany filed an answer, testimony was submitted, the case argued, the judge charged the jury,.the jury returned its verdict, and a motion for a new trial was filed and overruled.

FOR 20, YEARS! | *Detroit, Mich., Jan. 6.—A “treaty of| peace” between the city of Detroit and | \the Detroit United ‘Railway, agreed to/ recently by plenipotentiaries of each, | { tion of having the most extensive municipally owned street car system | in the world. Under the “treaty,” signing of which marks the end of a 20 year war, the qity proposes to take over soon the entire holdings of the company on a rental basis. At ‘some time during 1922 the electors of the city will be called upon at a special election to vote on a question of purchase of the property by the city, As the people here have approved every municipal street railway project advanced in re-; cent .years, city officials expect the municipality will have the entire street car field here to itself before the beginning of 1923, When the city assumes control its municipal street, railway system will! consist of 476 miles of trackage, put- ting it far ahead of San Francisco, its nearest rival ‘in municipal street railway operation. The West Coast City’s. municipal system has but 60 miles of track. Settlement of the street car con- troversy, the overshadwing element in every municipal election here with- in the last two decades, came suddenly the Detroit United agreeing to the rental proposition and proposed pur- chase after it was faced with eviction from two of the more important lines in the city. ¢ After years of litigation, some of which found its way to the United States supreme court with resultant victories for the city, the municipality was authorized by the voters at a re- cent election to order: the Detroit United Railway from parts of the Woodward avenue and Fort street lines upon which franchises had ex- pired. This step: followed refusal of the company to sell the lines to the city at a price the latter was, willing to pay. The confpany was going ahead with plans: to tear up ‘its tracks on these lines when an agreement was reached whereby city and Detroit Unite Railway cars might use joint- one or the other.
