i GOVERNMENT TAKES STEPS 0 AD PARK STORAGE OF GRAN County Agents Designated to Give Assistance; Intermedi- ate Credit Friendly Plans to put in operation the farm storage of grain in North Dakota and Montana have got to the stage where conferences have been held with fed- eral intermediate credit bank heads to furnish the money for loans, and county agents have been authorized by the federal department of agricul- ture to assist in the farm storage movement of this state and Montana. The Farmers Union, earlier in the season, took the initiative in seeking intermediate credit support of the financial side of the experiment. For- mer Governor Walter Maddock and North Dakota leaders of the move- ment sounded out the federal credit organization with favorable responses before putting on the drive to induce members of their organization to ea their farms with steel storage ns. Lately, with the appointment of the head of the storage commission, the state grain storage staff also has had conferences with the intermediate credit bankers, with reassuring re- sults for the financing of the storage. The designation of the county agents as contact officials in, the movement by the federal agricultural department is due to the fact that these agents are partly paid by the federal government and are a part of its economic agricultural and crop reporting staffs. Under the plan, farmers can apply to their county agents and obtain information and clerical aid in any financing of their storage. Secretary Hyde, of the agricultural department, Washington, recently himself took steps to acquaint himself with the new policy in the states of Montana and North Dakota. The several actions on the part of federal officials at Minneapolis and Washington are expected to give im- petus to the farm storage movement, especially if, as suggested by C. W. McDonnell, the terminal elevators in the big grain markets will not be able to afford storage to grain to be threshed later, owing to the failure of European buying to dislodge a sub- stantial portion of the surplus grain of last year stored at such points. Transient Loses Life As Minot House Burns Minot, N. D., Aug. 12—()—John Spears, 60, a transient, lost his life in a fire which early today destroyed & local rooming house. Spears is be- lieved to have suffocated. His body was found, lying on the floor of his room, by firemen after they had suc- ceeded in controlling the flames. Approximately a score of other room- ers escaped without injuries. An inquest will be held this after- hoon according to Dr. R. W. Pence, Ward county coroner. damaged by smoke and water. t Circular Letter ] Has Circulated 4 Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 12.—(P)—A circular lettei dress, is back at the here after chasing the over | thei three continents. It was forwarded in turn to New York city, Buenos Aires, Paris, and finally back home, in an effort to catch up with the man, an engineer, for whom it was intended. > (By Department of Agriculture) Storage rooms for eggs should be used for that purpose exclusively. <a enna eenreneee eT Veterans of old Indian legend, these two, but modern successful farmers withal. John Duncan, plumed and feathered as Ute chief- tain, is one of many enterprising tillers of the soil in Utah. o is Unca Sam, shown in inset Balt Lake City, Aug. 12—When the Pilgrims landed on the coast of ‘New England in the seventeenth cen- tury, they found Indians practicing agriculture in a crude way. Corn was their principal product, and cultiva- tion was of a simple type. Three hundred years after finds them again engaged in tilling the soil, after having dropped their plows for a time to take up arms against the encroaching white man. But the resent cycle of agriculture finds they havediscarded the crudemethods of their forefathers and have adopted scientific practice: employed by mod- ern farmers. On the Ouray Uiata reservation in this state more than 1200 Indians reside and they cultivate 25,000 acres of fertile land. In the main, Utes and Uncompah- gres form the agricultural popula- tion. Other tribes, however, are fast developing agriculture. Tilling the land is not the only branch of agriculture the Indians are engaged in. They are poultry breed- ers, swine raisers, cattlemen and dairymen. Each year industrial con- ventions are held at which the Red Man takes his products for a showing. Medals Ri Scalps At thes conventions, in addition to exhibits, sports, games and other diversion.: are indulged in. It is a common sight when a brave wins a blue ribbon through dint of his handiwork to see him going through a war dance—gestures, war whoops and all. A government offi- cial explains thi: “Blue ribbons are more highly prized among the Indians of the Un- compahgre and White River tribes of this state than ever scalps were by ir elders.” Grain is the principal crop now. They cultivate and work hard in their fields all week and then make peri- odical trips into town to purchase and sell, and perhaps attend a picture show or some other entertainment. ‘| This in direct contrast with the blood- thirsty raids they used to mal paneetal outposts of white civil ion. Four white instructors are teach- ing the Indians modern methods of farming. Hundreds of the Indians however, have developed to the extent that they no longer need coaching and they are imparting their know- ledge of farming to their brothers. Superintendent F. A. Gross of the reservation and E. Peterson, agricul- tural agent of Uinta county, also give assistance in farmin¢ instruc- tion. In addition, Peterson is active in boys’ and girls’ club work. This work has developed to such an extent RADIOMANIA ITHINK we OUGHT: To SPEND OUR VACATION ON ‘THE THOUSAND - ISLANDS, JERRY— - that a 14-year-old Ute boy was a champion in a recent contest involv- ing both whites and reds. The Indians have taken a great in- terest in the development of their reservation. They have numerous exhibits on display and tribal dances and other sports often to attract vis- itors. At Whiterocks there is an Indian boarding school which has an enroll- ment of more than 140 pupils at which the attendance is better than 98 per cent. This school is strictly modern, a complete ac ium. Mod- such as ball, football, basketball and boxing make up part of the students’ ssa Two Indians who have taken to farming seriously and have been successful are John Duncan, a Ute chief and progressive farmer, and Unca Sam, an old-time Ute who re- members ancient wars, but who is a highly successful rancher. These two men are cultivating large tracts of land and range and have become as successful as some of their brothers who discovered oil on their land, Encouraged by Government Following are reports from a De- partment of. Interior bulletin which shows how the Indians are g%ing about farming on their reservation: “Grasshopper will make lots of seed from the appearance of his fields. His poor crop last year did not discourage him. “Ellen Sahkemoot will try to show us that the Duroc is the better breed of hogs. “Toorooroose has some hay and | will have good grain this year. “Little Snake Pete Mountain Sheep is all along with his chickens in the Myton district and will no doubt show us some good Barred Rocks.” The big problem of several years ago was to get the Indian to settle down and till soil. It was thought that this would tend to make settled residents of them and give them a wholesome occupation from which benefit could be derived. The Indi- ans have realized the importance of becoming good farmers. EPPING BOYS FORM CLUB Epping, N.

Oil Station Bandits Will Have Hard Time On Minnesota Chain St. Paul, Aug. 12.—()—Holdup men | who specialize in filling station jobs are out of luck so far as one system of oil stations here is concerned. Beginning today the company's 47 stations in St. Paul started operating | on a “burgler-proof” basis. Attend- ants will carry only sufficient cash to make change and will drop the sur- plus into slotted safes, the combina- tions of which are known only to col- lectors. The plan was put into effect be- cause of the excessive number of holdups in the Twin Cities, officials of the company said. It also will be instituted in Minneapolis soon.
