Miss Marion Ackroyd of 31§ F street, South Omaha, was found to be close to the artist's ideal in portraying the In- dian mald as the official corn show ®irl. A likeness of this gir! appears on the cover design of this lssue of The Sunday Bee and similar portraits have been used extensively in advertising the corn exposition In stature Mivs all slender, with graceful bearir 4 brunette of ure beauty complexion i shaded Ly )t hair of the arkes: bu H.or ha'r is long and black, a1 1 shines like the hair of Longfellow's birolne, Minnehaha (Laughing Water). Probably most striking in her appear- ance are her eyes, black like her hair, that can be made to flash or appear calm and indifferent at the owner's will Most valuable in the work of the ar- Ust portraying the Indian girl is the model's abllity to express feeling or temperament. The Indian mald seldom smiles. She bears that mien of indif- ference, not found in the women of other races, which is hard to imitate, There i3 a sluggishness of temperament In the Indian girl that is shown in her eyes, 1a her motionless lips and in her Dearing. She is stolcal and phlegmatie and age and ness of the Indlan girl and her pictures indicate this In her po for the photograph used by The Bee, Miss Ackroyd wore a real Sioux Indlan robe, borrowed from the Ryan collection at the public library. This robe is valued at $150; it is twenty- four pounds in weight and is embroid- ered with thousands of beads. Thers are few robes of this kind In the coun- try. The model wears her hair Indian fashion, parted Jn the center and hang ing in two bralds down her back. About the forehead she wears a wide belt of colored bezds. A single feather in the hair gives a further touch of aboriginal custom. She looks upward, and in her outstretehed hands are ears of real In- dian maize. Louls R. Bostwick is the photographer who has brought Miss Ackroyd to the fore on paper. In all he has taken over 50 photographs for the publicity work in connection with the corn show His portrayals of the Indian girl, as posed by Miss Ackroyd, are perhaps the most notable. She has posed In many pietures, but the simple view shown in the design for The Bee is, perhaps, the most beautiful In rural scemes a little touch of the wildwood has been In- Jected Into the setting. Miss Ackroyd has been photographed in a field of corn, in various poses, and is also si- tstically shown with bundles of wheat and millet. don’t know how. We have merely scratched the surface.

The development of fhe American nerthwest may be compressed into the period of a single human life.

Where are they to live? What are they to do? By that time our mineral resources will have been so nearly exhausted that the industries related to ther: must fall into & winor place. By that time it !s apparent that our dream of conquest of world markets will be a burst bubble. It is a mathematical fact that within twanty ears under present conditions our wheat crop will not be ufficent for home consumption and seed, without leaving a bushel for export.
