INDIANS friends
Near the ancient church in my old
home town in Massachusetts is the
Indian burying ground. A rough-
hewn obelisk bears a bronze plate
inscribed “to the friends of our Fa-
isaij oqu jo stilrepuoosaa „' sjaqt
white settlers placed it there, as a
tribute to the kindly tribe of the Mo
hicans, the Stockbridge Indians.
This old New England town is
celebrating this month the 2l)0th an
niversary of its establishment as the
first community in America to give
Indians equal rights of citizenship
with the English colonists. The first
Board of Selectmen of Stockbridge,
elected in 1739, consisted of two In
dian chiefs, Konkapot and Umpa-
chene, and one Englishman, Ephraim
Williams.
By 1799 the failure of the attempt
to impose European civilization on
the Indians was apparent, even to
the Indians. They drifted westward
and the last remnants of their tribe
now live in Wisconsin. The English
settlers prospered. Ephraim Williams
founded Williams College. The col
onists paid the Indians for their land,
but the Indians did not understand
the value or use of money. Few In
dians know anything about handling
money today.
RELIGION .... conformity
The Mohican Indians were hunt-
ers who were glad to trade their
beaver-skins for the rum which the
white men brought them. My wife’s
ancestor, Jehoiakim van Valken-
burgh, and my own ancestor, Charles
Stockbridge, whose name the town
bears, did a thriving trade with the
Indians for years before earnest
young missionaries from Yale Col
lege came up to Christianize the peo
ple of the Housatonic Valley.
Many Indians professed conver-
osin and were baptized into the
church. It now seems doubtful that
they ever grasped or accepted the
rigid Calvinistic doctrines of Puritan
New England. It is certain that they
were unruly under the harsh disci
pline of the church. John Sergeant,
the devoted young minister, died af
ter ten years of disiheartening efforts
to wean the Mohicans away from
their pagan practices and their fond
ness for the traders’ rum.
Religion, to the missionaries, me^nt
conformity in outward appearances
to the standards of the teachers of
religion, as much as it meant spiritu
al regeneration. The Indians of
Stockbridge preferred to live in wig
wams instead of houses, and to go
unclothed in summer.
CIVILIZATION . . . tolerance
To me there seems to be a paral
lel between the failure of his first
organized, effort in America to civil
ize the Indians and the efforts of
powetful nations to conquer or ab
sorb weaker nations composed of peo
ple of a different race and tradition.
The roots of all the present warlike
manifestations throughout the world
lie, I believe, in the assertion of su
periority of one race over others, and
the attempt to make the so-called in
ferior race conform to the standards
of the other.
We have learned a lesson in Am
erica. We no longer try to make In
dians live like white men or adopt
the white men’s religion and cus
toms. So long as they do not behave
contrary to the universal code of mo
rals, which is essentially letting
other people’s lives, property, and
customs alone, the American Indians
today are not only permitted, but en
couraged to maintain their ancient
tribal customs and beliefs.
I think they are much more civil
ized, on the whole, than some of the
peoples of Europe—or their rulers.
COLONIZATION . . int-rference
The reason the English are the
most successful colonial administra
tors is that they do not interfere
with native manners, habits, or re
ligion. It took them a long time to
learn. tolerance, but in the British
colonies all over the world the maxim
of Thomas Jefferson that “the best
government is the one that governs
least” seems to be the rule.
Spain was once the world’® great
est colonial power. She lost her
colonies because she tried to make
natives into Spaniards. Her little
neighbor, Portugal, is still a great
colonial power because she does not
try to change the colonists into some
different kind of people. Germany
is notoriously the world’s worst man
ager of colonies. Its colonial gover
nors are arrogant, domineering and
wholly lacking in respect for native
beliefs and customs.
Two races cannot live on the same
soil without constant friction and con
flict unless each recognizes that the
other has an equal right to live, act,
and believe as its racial inheritance
impels it.
LESSON peace
If there is one lesson the world
should have learned by this time it
is that peace is never achieved by
conquest but only by tolerance. Some
groups, many individuals, have learn
ed that. To a degree some nations
and their rulers have at least got a
glimmer of that truth. It is the ones
which have not grasped it that are
making all the trouble in the world.
The lesson of tolerance is not
learned wholesale. It is arrived at
one by one, as individual after indi
vidual discovers his own true place
in the scheme of things. Men Who
find that place recognize that they
are no better than other men. They
find it by abandoning selfishness, ha
treds, and dishonesty.
A great and swooping movement
for peace is sweeping over the world,
led by groups of men and women who
believe and teach that the' salvation
of the world lies not in guns, but in
the hearts of people. Lt is called
“Moral Rearmament.” You will hear
of it, if you have not already. If
enough individuals are morally arm
ed, the world will need no other ar
maments. There is no other road to
peace.
Not only will paint make your
place more attractive, but it will pre~
serve it against the ravages of sun and
rain ^nd save you many a repair bill.
If you do not have the money, it will
pay you to borrow and protect your
home.
Do It Today!
Winter is just around the cor^
per, and if your home needs painting,
it may not stand another winter
without considerable damage to the
woodwork. You cannot do less than
investigate the low cost of a good
paint job*
We will be glad to
assist you in getting
a loan to do your
work if you so de^
sire. But Do It 7k>
day!

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS
AT COUNTY LIBRARY
“Jungle Lindsay” by Hector Lind
say, the story of the life and adven
tures of the author who has spent
most of his life in the jungle. It’s
a story of thrilling events and hair
breadth escapes. One wonders if
the author has the nine lives of the
proverbial cat.
“The Runaway”, by Kathleen Nor
ris. A new story by Miss Norris is
always welcomed. You will find this
novel most interesting.
“Appointment With Death” by
Agatha Christie. If you’re the kind
that reads mystery you are quite
familiar with Christie books. This
one is every bit as exciting as her
many others.
“To the South Seas” by Clifford
Pinchot, a story of cruising in the
South Seas with high adventure. This
is one of the very few books contain
ing illustrations, almoert one on
every other page. You will not want
to lay the book aside until you have
read it through.
“Moby Dick” or The Whale by
Herman Melville, another novel for
those who like stories of the sea.
“Workaday Lady” by Maysie Grieg,
a subtle story of the surprising in
tricacies of love. The author is
well known, having written many
novels of intriguing romance.
“The Loving Spirit” and “Jamaica
Inn,” both by Daphue-du-Maurier,
the author of the popular recent
novel, “Rebecca”. Both books are
interesting, but the latter will prob
ably prove more popular.
“The High Road” by Faith Bald
win. Two 0 r three hours spent with
a Baldwin story are always enjoy
able ones. You will find this story
equal to any of her others.
“A Son of the Sea” by Sara W.
Bassett deals with a group of mod
ern young people at a seaport town.
The author is among the best writers
of Cape Cod stories.
“Benjamin Franklin’ by Carl Van
Doren. In this book much material
appears that has never been pre
sented to the public. It’s altogether
different from other books on Frank
lin and you will enjoy reading it, all
782 pages.
“Years of Grace” by Margaret
Barnes. Here is an amusing novel
that carries the story of several
families over several generations.
“Etiquette” by Lillian Eichler. This
new book on manners and such is
proving very popular. You will want
to read it.
“President Fu Manchu,” “Return
of Dr. Fu Manchu,” and “The Insid
ious Dr. Fu Manchu,” all by Sax
Rhomer. Three more stories of the
character so popular in magazines
and books.
“A Pulpit in the Grill,*’ by E. Phil
lips Oppenheim. Those who like Op-
penheim’s stories will enjoy this.
“Next To My Heart" by Helen
Topping Miller. Here’s a romance
for light summer reading.
“The Grapes of Wrath” by John
Steinbeck, author of “Of Men and
Mice”. If you are one of those that
make a bee line for nation-wide
best sellers, here’s your book. It’s
the talk of the country just now. But
like so many other best sellers, some
readers find it wonderful, some
think it terrible. It’s the story of
Western migrants.
“The Singin’ Fiddler 0 f Lost Hope
Hollow” by Jean Thomas, the story
of Kentucky mountain folk that grips
one’s heart and imagination. The
author handles well the language of
the mountaineers and presents mov
ing lovable characters that you will
remember.
“Wuthering Heights” by Emily
Bronte. A book to go on your “must
read” list if you haven’t already done
so. The moving picture was here re
cently.
“Patricia” by Grace Livingston
Hill. The story of Patricia Prentiss’
struggle for and attainment of a
way of life bringing happiness in
spite of her social climbing mother.
“Uncle Caleb’s Niece” by Lida Lar-
rimore. All assurance needed to
know this is good book is to say it s
° Larrimore novel.
“High of Heart” by Emile Loring,
another popular writer of light fic
tion.
“South Moon Under” by Marjorie
Kinnan Rawlings. The author wrote
the best seller of a few months ago,
“The Yearling”. Her new book is
about Southerners who, generations
back, wandered into isolated country,
the scrubs of Florida’s interior there
to struggle for a living. This is a
novel, not history.

H-D COLUMN
By MISS ETHEL COUNTS
. Fall vegetables must be planted in
time. Every day counts, as one day’s
delay is one link nearer “Jack Frost.”
Cultivate and clean up ground
where vegetables have matured. De
caying vegetables and plants are like
ly to increase disease and insect da
mage next season,
Gathering vegetables, fruits, and
flowers when ready encourages long
er bearing.
Sweet com loses some of its su
gar if gathered and allowed to stand
long enough to wilt before cooking.
Fall tomatoes usually bring a good
price on the market. If all the fruit
fails to ripen before frost, it can be
kept far into the winter wrapped in
paper and laid away in a cool, dark
place. Plants set now will mature
fruit before frost. Use strong stocky
plants and retain all the soil possible
on the roots. Set deeply and pour
a pint of water around roots and
cover with thick layer of dry soil.
One thing should be attended to
promptly when growing rutabagas
and that is to thin them to a stand
just as soon as possible. This should
be done when the plants are not over
2 inches high. Give them plenty of
distance, leaving them 8 to 10 inches
apart in the drill, one in a place. This
prompt thinning will prevent them
from becoming shanky. Plants will
then be stocky and roots well shaped.
Remember that consecutive plant
ing every 15 or 21 days keeps a sup
ply of crisp vegetables for the home
table and for the market when one
is available.
The Non-Layers
The best time to cull the average
flock is in July and August. At this
time of the year the good hens are
still at work while the loafers have
stopped for the season. Records
have shown that it does not pay to
keep a cull hen over a period of time
in order to receive a higher price.
When a hen stops laying she usual
ly starts molting. The later a hen
lays in the summer and fall the great
er will be her yearly egg production,
so that the high producer is the late
layer and hence the late molter. The
early molting hen is the “short-time”
or poor layer as most hens cannot
grow feathers and lay at the same
time. Contrary to general belief, the
early molter does not make the winter
layer. If you want a circular on cull
ing, ask for Circular 113, How to Tell
Laying Hens.
The Growing Pullets
Pullets must have shade during the
summer if they are expected to grow
into profitable layers. When not
provided with shade in order that
they may keep cool, they stop eating,
get stunted, and do not have the nor
mal resistance to diseases and para
sites. They sometimes become infest
ed with lice very quickly when on
range and should be examined for
these parasites often.
A clean range providing some
shade, a good growing mash, plenty
of grain, and a abundance of water
will result in a good crop of pullets
being grown out. ,

Covington, Ky,
HEALTH FOR MIND AND SPIRIT,
By W. L. Northridge. Abingdon
Press, New York. Pages 200.
Price $2.00. '
William L. Northridge, M. A., B. D.,
Ph. D, born in Ballineen, County
Cork, Ireland, educated at Queen’s
University in Belfast, discusses in
this timely volume the major psy
choses, the psycho-neurotic condi
tions, sexual abnormalities, alcohol
ism, drugs, problems of temperament,
the inferiority complex, unconscious
guilt, adolescent conversion, the “un-
forgiveable sin problem,” certain re
ligious scruples, sins, and spiritual
direction— to mention t)he main trend
of the author’s mind. The book
closes with a chapter on “Religion as
a Prophylactic.” Index.
The purpose of the author is well
stated in the title of his book; he has
interest in all that Psychology can
do for the mind; likewise he has in
terest in all the spiritual values. It
is this coordination that gives this
book its great value. “It would be
most desirable.. .for churches- to pro
vide homes of healing in *the great
centers of population. These should
be staffed by qualified medical psy
chologists who have sympathy with
people’s spiritual sensitivities. Not
that it is wise in such cases to ob
trude the religious element unduly,
but bcause, in practically every case,
the element of guilt 0 r spiritual need
has to be reckoned with. Not all pro
fessional psychotherapists.. .will be
found sympathetic with.. . religions
convictions and needs.” Page 13.
The author is quick on the same page
to point out that a patient in going
to an avowed agnostic for mental
treatment came away with two con
flicts, rather a double conflict. The
author sees Ihis ideal way of treat
ing patients impracticable at pre
sent; hence the real place of the book
is that it is a handbook for any and
all who are ministers of good health.
The judge on the bench should know
this book, opposing lawyers in thou
sands of cases could aid humanity
with this kind of personal knowledge,
teachers in the classroom, ministers
of the gospel, and parents in the
home, and so on.
