THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C-. FRIDAY. JUNE 10, 1938 M en of the ounted by Captain G. Elliott - Nightingale Copyright, WNU A CH1SELER STARTS A RIOT pOR a dozen days and nights the 1 continuous roll of the tom-toms and the weird, Wood-chilling shriek ing of the Salteaux Indians had ech oed and re-echoed over the Atha- baskan plains. Meanwhile, in the tents and tepees, babies died in the arms of mothers too starved to suckle them, while others, including the aged and ill, were slowly dying from hunger and the 30-below-zero weather that had been gripping the region for weeks. And, as the Sal teaux suffered and died, the war riors and braves, with the help of some smuggled rot gut whisky were dancing themselves into an ugly, fighting, bloodthirsty mood. They were steaming up for a little skull splitting and scalp-lifting party to be staged on the handful of whites who were responsible for their piti able condition. The Salteaux, a rather superior group, were justified in their anger and rage, for the administration of their affairs had fallen into the hands of a double-dyed grafter and chiseler. When the Great White Mother made the treaty with the Salteaux, she not only agreed to give them equipment, horses and cows with which to begin farming, but she also agreed to give them food and supplies twice a week un til they were well established and prosperous. Everything went along fine until some underling in the In dian affairs department was placed in charge while his superior was off on a rather extended vacation down east. Prom this time on, the food supplies for the Salteaux began to diminish. Each time the rations were handed out, they weighed a few ounces less than before, with the result that after a week or two the allotments reached the most ri diculous proportions, and the Sal teaux began to grumble out loud. To make matters worse, game was ex ceedingly scarce in the region that winter, and even rabbits were few and far between. Moreover, had there been furs and skins, the Sal teaux could have traded for food at the Hudson Bay Trading post locat ed right on the reservation. And now, with the tribe slowly starving to death in the middle of a stiff Athabaskan winter, it was time for action. Having worked themselves into a frenzy of rage and hate, the warriors and braves swooped down on the government warehouses and helped themselves to a few tons of flour, sowbelly, ba con and other staples. The under ling in charge made a faint squeak of protest, and right away two husky braves had him by collar and belt and were heaving him off into the distance. Loaded with all the food they could carry away, the Salteaux returned to their tepees and ■ had the first really decent feed in weeks. And, as they fed and gorged them selves, the Men of the Mounted were on their way to investigate what was termed an "Indian out rage.” The officer in charge, although a fearless policeman, was a poor hand with Indians, and his opening re marks were to the effect that the Great White Mother was deeply grieved to learn that her Salteaux children had committed this terri ble crime (taking the food that rightfully belonged to them). Fur thermore, the poor misguided, or misinformed officer asked them why they committed the robbery when everybody knew that the agent handed out plenty of food twice a week. Naturally, the Salteaux be gan to think that the red-coat was insane. Did he not know that they were starving? Did he not know that the food ration had been grow ing smaller and smaller until there was not enough for one child, let alone a brave? No, the officer did not know this. Furthermore, he rather brusquely stated that they were not starving at all, and that the rations given them were more than sufficient. This was the spark to the powder. The braves began fondling their ri fles and clubs, and they meved in close, dangerously close. The air was electrified with the tension of impending battle. Up to this time there had never been any misunder standings, nor had there ever been shots exchanged between the Sal teaux and the Mounted Police, and it wasn’t long before an ordinary red - coated constable was down among the ugly Salteaux patching things up and, incidentally, learn ing the truth about the diminishing rations. Needless to say, the quar rel was patched up so well that there has never been any more trou ble with the Salteaux. The chiseler? Well, he saddled up one morning and rode east. He must have kept on traveling, for h« hasn’t been seen since. The Screech Owl The screech owl, called by some the little horned owl, is a familiar bird in many sections. It is not as secluded in habits as are other members of the owl family and often is found nesting in bird boxes put up for martins and flickers. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Iron Better Than Gold,” Says Goering S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. C Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for June 12 FACING THE SUPREME TEST OF SERVICE LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:32-36. GOLDEN TEXT—Not what I will, but What thou wilt. Mark 14:36. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jeaus In the Garden. JUNIOR TOPIC—In Gethsemane INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Courage In the Face of Danger. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The ChaUenge of God’s Will. No man has ever faced such a crisis as Jesus met in the Garden of Gethsemane, for He was the Son of God incarnate in order to bear the sins of the world. No one can ever fully understand the agony of soul involved when God “made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the right eousness of God in him” (II Cor. 3:21). It is, therefore, true that we may never say that we have gone “through Gethsemane.” But there is a very real sense in which our Lord’s experience is shared by His disciples, in a lesser degree and as ordinary human beings. Our lesson brings before us the closing scene of Thursday before the crucifixion. The day has been crowded with important events, among them the eating of the Pass- over, the revelation that there was a traitor among the twelve, the in stitution of the Lord’s supper, the precious words of the upper room, the intercessory prayer in the gar den. I. Exceeding Sorrowful (w. 32- 36). The text uses many words to con vey the depth of His soul’s agony, as though it were impossible to ex press it in the faulty medium of speech. So it is, for our Lord here experienced something far more se rious than a dread of physical death. He was not a coward. He was not afraid to die. 'His soul was about to have put upon its spotless sinlessness the stain and dishonor of the world’s sins. Little wonder that He was “sorrowful even unto death” (v. 34). Since this was the road the Mas ter trod, should not His servants tread it still? n. Alone with God (w. 37-41). Jesus took with Him into the se cluded place in the Garden the three who were closest to Him in the cir cle of disciples. He counted on their fellowship and sympathy in His hour of anguish. Merely to have them near Him, to know that they were there to watch and pray even though they could not share His holy burden, was to be a com fort to Him. We try to do as much for one another in hours of bereave ment and disappointment, but how much greater was the opportunity of these three, and how ignomin- iously they failed. The spirit was willing (v. 38), but the flesh took the upper hand, and they slept! He was alone with His Father, when He prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from Him, but in true and beautiful submission said, “not what I will, but what thou wilt.” The follower of Jesus will know this experience, too. While he will ever find it to be true that there is nothing more precious than the friends God gives him, he should prepare himself to expect the arm of flesh to fail him. There is no more bitter experience in human relationships than to count on those who should stand by, come what may, and to find that they have slept through our hour of soul-strug gle. III. Betrayed by a Kiss (w. 42- 46). To betray the one who had done nothing but good, who had loved him and served him even in the washing of his feet, this would have been far more than one could have expected of even the sin-blackened heart of a Judas. But he fills the measure of his ignominy to over flowing by betraying his Lord with the sign pt affection—a kiss. We know full well that we may not stand on the same ground as our Lord even here, for, whereas He had done nothing to merit be trayal, we at our best are not able to stand forth without fault. Never theless, great is the hurt when we face the betrayals of life. It may be one whom we have befriended, who has been the object of our lov ing thought and care, and who in the hour when he thinks to gain himself some advantage or avenge some fancied wrong strikes us in the back, even as he smilingly pro fesses to be a friend. Shall we be embittered in soul and give like for like? God forbid! Let us rather say as Jesus did to Judas, “Friend, wherefore art thou come?" (Matt. 26:50.) If We Knew All The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merci ful men are taken away, none con sidering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace.—Isa. 57:1, 2.

Rookie Slugger Aid to Pirates One of the standout players among the first-year men in the big leagues is Johnny Rizzo, hard-hitting Pitts burgh Pirate outfielder. Rizzo has contributed a home run punch to the Pirates’ attack this year and is compared by some baseball men to Joe Med wick of the St. Louis Cardinals. New “Airacuda” Fights 30,000 Feet Overhead They ask me for secrets of holi ness. For myself I know no secret than to love God with all my heart and my neighbor (who is all man kind) as myself. One of the new “Airacuda” fighting planes of which 13 have been ordered by the War department. The plane, of revolutionary new design, has a fighting ceiling above 30,000 feet, has its propellers located behind the wings instead of in front and is equipped with two specially designed engines. The War department states that the speed of the plane “is believed to be sufficient to overhaul any modern bomber now in production or building ” Beauty in Crocheted Linens Cross-stitched bouquets in cro cheted baskets can be a needle woman’s pride.

The paper saves the tablecloth and is barely noticeable. • • • Cleaning Upholstered Pieces.— Heavy upholstered pieces that cannot readily be taken outside can be freed from dust by placing over them an old sheet wrung out in hot water and then beating well with a cane. The sheet will ab sorb the dust. • • • For Light Muffins.—When mak ing muffins in iron pans, grease the pans and heat them in the oven before putting the batter in. Your muffins will then be much lighter. • • • To Stiffen Meringue.—A gener ous pinch of soda added to the egg whites before they are beaten will make meringue stand up better. • • • When Tying Bundles.—Twine used in tying bundles should al ways be dampened. It will tie much tighter and will not slip when knots are made. • • « When Fat Catches Fire.—Never throw water on burning fat. Use flour instead. Water only spreads the blaze. Dog Man's Friend, but— No one likes to quarrel with the statement that the dog is man’s best friend. In fact, we all like to believe it without question. But neighborhood dogs that insist on staining prized ornamental ever greens and shrubbery certainly do put a heavy strain on friendship. Home owners have faced this problem sadly, angrily and inef fectually—until recently a very simple solution came to light. All that you do is spray the lower branches of your evergreens and shrubs with a little nicotine sul phate mixed in water. It’s harm less to plants—harmless to the dogs—and brings a tremendous relief to frayed tempers. You see, the desired result comes because dogs do not like the nicotine sul phate odor and give a wide berth to any spot where that odor is found. crocheted edgings 4% by 15 inches; material requirements; il lustrations of all stitches used.
