THERE ARE WORE INDIANS A dispatch from Washington kays that despite popular belief hat the civilization forced upon him by the white man means his ultimate extinction, the North American Indian, reviving from i long period of decadence, has shown such substantial increases n population in recent years that e probably is scarcely less nu- erous today than when Colum- us discovered America. Startling as this assertion may e to those who have pictured American forests in thodiscover- er's time as swarming with red men, it is freely advanced by ex perts of the government's Indian bureau, who maintain that the Indian necessarily formed an ex ceedingly scant population which probably at no period materially exceeded the total of 333,702 In dians reported by the bureau for last year. "The Indian no longer is to be thought of a dying race, declared Dr. Lawrence W. White, an In dian authority ofthebureau. "In support of that statement it is necessary in the first place, to disaburse the mind of tradition handed down by discoverers and early colonists that American for ests in their day swarmed with tne ausKy ngure oi u.e reu ..il-u. ,1 1 1 t A I. 1 . As the Indian neglected agricui- tire almost completely, itis high 1 improbable that his country, considering its latitude, could have supported more than sever al hundred thousand of his race." On the other hand Dr. White continued, the Indian inthe pres ent day, after periods of sharp decrease following as a natural reaction to sudden contact with . .j. . u tne civilization oi uiu mine man, is seen to be maKing subsequent gains in population. ' . "While many estimates or guesses of the Indian population were made during the past cen- tury," said p. w mte, ranging from less than 100,000 to 400,000, the first reliable census was made by the Indian bureau in 1870, when the population -was placed at 313,712. So figures demon strate that in the pat 50 years the Indian population has made a substantial net gain. Pointing to statistics which show an excess of births over deaths of 1,522 in 1910 and almost as great an excess in 1917, nor mal years which wore not affect ed by the epidemic of influenza, Dr. White declared these figures 'fully reflected the generosity of a government that has increased its Indian health appropriation alone from $40,000 in 191 1 to!?350 000 in 1917 andsubsequentyoars' They demonstrate, he said that with the schools, hospitals, and other advantages now provided .for him, the Indian, be he tribes man or freedman, is not a dying race but rather a llourishingono.' Had he been treated as other na tions have treated savage tribes, Dr. White concluded, there prob Hhlv would not be. a "vestige of the race within our republic to day;" TO COMPLETE E. & A.

President Wilson has received a personal cablegram from Fred- erick Wilhelm, former -crown prince of Germany, suggesting "if the allied and associated gov- ernments want a victim let them take me instead of the 900 Ger- mans who have committed no other offense than that of serving their country In the war." Whataetionthepresidentmight take on the message presumably was identical with that reported in Amsterdam dispatches as sent to the rulers and presidents of other powers opposed to Germa-1 Siy in the war, was not disclosed. There was a suggestion at the white house that he might reply. In some quarters, however the opinion prevailed that he would not even acknowledge the receipt of it since, it was pointed out, the United States is not a party to the treaty or a member of the siderable hardship on the mer league of nations and has novoice chants to carry as large a stock legally in any proceedings as to extradition of German officials or officers for trial.

CL0THIN3 WILL BE HI8HER THIS FA'LL. The continued increase in the cost of materials used in making suits, overcoats, etc., indicates that all woolen apparel will be about sixty -five per cent higher next fall, than in the fall of 1919 Manufacturers say that not only have the woolen fabrics advanc ed, but that linings have advanc ed, together with labor, about 35 per cent, This increased cost of material and labor means that suits that sold for fifty dollars last fall will have to be sold for $82.50 this fall and that an overcoat which sold for $100 last winter, willbemark ed $162.50. This increase will not be due to profiteering on the part of the lo cal merchants, as they will really make less money than when a su'.t could be bought for $20 and sold for $25. It will work a con las they usually carry, as the mon- ey necessary to purchase a large stock of clothing would be equal to a small fortune. Furthermore, tne retaUer 18 met wiui tne PP PS,tl0n 0f W0 & ClerttS nigh- Cl " rates have increased, and so with every other item of expense IMPROVED AIR SERVICE Construction of, the two big gost airplanes in the world is planned oy tne navy department, the House naval affairs committee was told by Capt. T. T. Craven, director of naval aviation whosub- mitted a program calling for $12,890,000 for the fiscal year 1920. The two giant seaplanes, twice the size of thetrans-AtlanticNO-4 would cost $036,000, he says. The machines would have a ca pacity of 30 tons, a wing spread of 140 feet and would be capable f weathering high seas if forced to land on the water, Capt. Craven also asked that Congress provide $10,000,000 for new air stations; $7,600,000 for maintenance of existing stations and $7,000,000 for experiments EGYPT'S WEALTH A correspondent of the London Daily Express in Cairo says "Egypt is bursting with wealth.' "Illiterate natives living in mud huts have made 20,000 pounds sterling out of cotton deals," he continues. "Some have made 100,000 They are buying land at inflated prices and paying off mortgage which are regarded as family heirlooms. One British officia says that the country has made at least 100,000,000 pounds. Nat urally there is an influx of new millionaires in Cairo with a huge demand for automobiles, jewelry new houses and all kinds of lux uries, but in the provinces many 0f the newly-rich have notchang- eij their standard of living at all ONE CENT (Omaha News.)

W. Ward, Jesse Green, Andy Greer, G. H. Hayes and I). L. Fox. The stockholders discussed the question of establishing a branch milk receiving station at or near lodges Gap for the purpose of operating a milk route from that ocality. Another meeting of the directors will be held later at Brushy Fork to take action on this plan. , The total sales of cheese from this factory exceeded by $20(X) the sales of 1918, and conditions point to an increased business the coming year. - The Duty of Every Christian Every Day I ought to obey God rather than man. Acts 5:9. Which one am obeying, in my desires, in my deeds, in my preaching? I ought always to pray and not faint. Luke 18:1. Prayer brings things to light; prayer keeps -the minister right; prayer does away with the spirit of fight. Am 1 praying really praying unto God always? I ought to love others; 1 John 4:11. For he that loveth his brother abideth in the light and te that loveth not his brother is not of God, and abideth in death, Uohn 2:10; 3:10, 14. I ought to walk and please God, 1 Thes. 4:1. I ought to give earnest heed to what t have heard. Heb. 2:1. H. H.
