CITY DADS WATCH INDIANS IN NATIVE WAR DANCES Tom I-ongknlfe, Shoshone Indian -athlete and Carlisle graduate.

They danced their war dance, tho winter danco and the coyote danco in the city council chamber at noon yesterday before a crowd of city of flclals. Chief1 Lonebear beat the tom-tom. His manager saye. he Is tho best singer In the Shoshono tribe. His tribesmen Joined in tho singing as they danced. After tho dance Urothcra spoke. Ho said ho wanted an education a long time ago and studied in government schools. With another Indian he entered tho Pacific college track meet and won, running five miles in 27 minutes and 24 seconds, tho coast record being 26 min utes. Tom Twinekiilfo chose to speak in his native tongue and Brothers translated. r.ongknlfo said he never Intended to go back to his old ways, but would keep on learning in the white man's schools until he was equal to his white brothers. Mayor Dahlman was lntroduoed to the Indiana as the "city's big chief," but Brothers addressed him In very good Kngllsh as "Mr. Mayor." The commis sioners watched tho Indians with inter est, remembering when the white men staged even more fantastic dances and let loose wilder war whoops In the same council chamber. 1 Witt a k,f.,..l.. t... ......tA ... ......

These are some of the jiucst Ions that people In every walk of life are asking at the present time." said W. J. Kennedy of tho agricultural extension department of the Iowa State college. In dWcunslne the beef cattle situ ation and Its solution. 'In a measure, at leMU the question may be answered by the application of the law of supply and demand During the last twelve years, our population has Increased about 25 per cent, while our supply of beef cattle has decreased over 30 per cent. These figures would not In dicate any very Immediate relief to the consumer. Tho end Is not yet. Next year and each succeeding year for at least threo years will see a much shorter sup ply of bef cuttle than at tho present time. This will be due to tho fact that the present high prices for beef rattle are causing thousands upon thousand of cows and heifers to bo sent to the slaughter house, which under ordinary i clrcunvstanccs would and should be re tained for bleeding purposes. It Is a case, of killing the goos that laid the golden egg ItliuKca Cat Dovyii. Tlu ranges of the northwest, the west and southwest, which In the past consti tuted tho greatest feeder cattlo producing territory In the world, have seen their best days. They are carrying today Just about one-half the number of cattle they carried eight, ten or fifteen years bro. Irrigation, dry land funning and tho more general Introduction of sheep have driven a large number of tho range cattlemen out of business. Hven the corn belt states havo fallen off from 2ii to 50 per cent In beef cattle during the last ten years. "In the past Iowa has been famous as a cattlo feeding stato. True, we havo had some real beef producers, but the large majority of our men have been cattle feeders, from now conditions will grad ually change. Beef production will be come a more and more Important Indus try. With it will como moro silos, mora blue grass pastures, a largely Increased acreage of alfalfa, less soil robbing and a permanent form of agriculture. .a to Cnttlc I'VeilltiR. "By tho term cattle feeding, we mean the fattening of mote or less mature steers Tor tho market. These cattle may be home grown, or produced on the ranges of tho northwest, the west or tho southwest. In the past tho majority of such cattel havo con'o fiom tho rango sections ami hayn rrniLlned on the Iowa farms from four to twelve months, or long enough to make them marketable, beef. "The length of time and method of feeding used depended ujkmi tho size and condition of the cattlo and the purpose of the feeder. Some men have followed dry lot feeding, which was dono during tho fall, winter or spring months. Others roughed their cattle through the winter months in the stalk fields And finished them on corn and grass during tho sum mer and fall.

Dr. Corkey has won national fame aa an author of an unusually aggressive type. In "Kor Conscience Sake" ho present! what he Is most familiar with, his own Ireland. It Is without question his strong est book. The advance sale on this book has b-in univer?ahy large. sallsfartorx results haw lieen obtained fiom both method of frudlng.

"Such methods of (reding wero wane ful of I lie com stalks. These were seldom utilized. Thc weio either binned or plowed under. With the tiitioducllou of the silo came a method for the more general utilisation of the entire corn plant. Kven nt the present time ovot : half of the corn stalks are really allowed to go to waste. With the use of more silos this waste will be gradually les sened. "The most difficult pitiblcm which now confronts Ihe cattlo feeder Is the source of his supply of feeders. In former years the ranges produced an nbundanco of feeder cattle. This supply has fallen off very rapidly In recent years. This means that the cattle feeder as we knew him In the past, must In a measure give way to the beef producer. Href I'rniltuMliin, ' Beef production Is tho nil Important question of the day. Iowa needs on an average 1.000 bee' producers In each county. Uach man to market about eighteen or twenty good 1.000 to 1.M0 pound fat nnlmals each year nt JS5 to J1(M per head, making a grand total of from 173.O0O,0iT0 to IHXUiOO.OOO worth of beef ench year. This would leave 10CUXM farm ers for the dairy business. It would mean the marketing of our crops in tho form of meat and dairy products and would prove a wonderful aid In the conrervatlon of the fertility of our soil. It would mean ono or more silos on each farm, thus the utilization of our corn stnlKs. We would then bo on a par with the good farmers of England and Scotland and our land would be paying dividends on from a $200 to a 500 per ncro valuation. "By lcef production wo mean the grow ing and finishing of our own cattle for market. This requires skill and good management to Insure success. Haphaz ard methods of breeding and feeding have no placo on the farm of tho boef pro ducer. Oood beef sires of the early ma turing kind will be demanded. Corn sllajrn, alfalfa and other palatable forms of roughage will bo fed In conjunction with com and nitrogenous concentrates. The animal must weigh In the neighbor hood of 1,200 pounds at from eighteen to twenty-four months of age. "The next question Is, how can this be profitably done under Iowa condition.'.' "It has been and Is now being dono in England and Scotland on land which rents from JS to $12 per acre. It Is now being dono by some men In practically all ports of Iowa. It Is a probtom which each man must In a measure solve for himself. In some Instances tho cows will be milked and the calves reared on skim milk and grain adjuncts. Others will mako It more of a baby beef proposition. Depend I! pon llrrrd. This will depend upon the Individual and the breed h selects, Where Here fords, Angus or Oalloways are used the calves will bo allowed to run with their dams, or perhaps one cow may nurse two calves. These calves will he pushed right along from birth and marketed at about 18 or 20 months of age, weighing around 1,200 pounds. Where this method Is pursued great enro must be taken In the selection of low set, thick fleshed, early maturing typo of sires. The calves must ali be llnei nip fen so as not to loe their milk f1rh "Where Shorthorns are ud.

If tin man wishes to milk cows the last method Is reriiuimeudeil o.s one which should bring suoccs. 4f laUir Is scarce and no dairying Is drlred why the baby beef proposition Is the one to follow. It requires less labor, but de mands rather tuoro judgment In the selection of the sire nnd the feeding of the offspring because the paMnent 'of all feed bills and ptotlts must come from the animals marketed for beef."

At present the ntalo auditor is the ex-offlclo Insurnnco com missioner. Thro arc only flvo states In tho union In which this Is still tho case. On the other hand there aro thlity eight states In which thoie Is a separ ate official who han authority In Insur ance matters. Ho Is known by various names, as "superlntcndont of Insurance." "Insurance commissioner," "commissioner of insurance," etc. In three slates tho secretary of state Is tho man who tins authority In Insurance, matters. In a very few states tho treasurer tho man who lookA after these things. It Is contended here, however, that In surance btislnons In Nebraska has grown to such gigantic proportions now that It cannot be properly looked after by the state auditor aa a mcro side Issue to his labors as atato auditor. Since tho Insurance business has grown to such proportions and since the Insur ance commissioner has the duty of ruling on all the securities that must be deHs Ited with him, thero will be enough work to require tho attention of a man reg ularly, say Insurance men. The plan la to mako the office of Insurancn commis sioner an electlvo one. STHBMNCJ WAltEFIlENZKn. Detectives and Doctors Work along similar lines.

A lady In Memphis gives an Interest ing experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that he had been using It for some time and was p.n Invalid. The physician In chatg. shrewdly sus pected that coffee was the "Worm at the .root of tho tree," and ordered It discon tinued with Instructions to use Postum regularly In Its plac. Tho wife says: "We found that was the truo remedy for his stomach and hrnrt trouble and we would havo gladly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctor'a charge when we found how wise his judgment was. "Tho use of Tostum Instead of coffee wa begun about a year ago, and It has made my husband a strong. , well man.
