Contin uing his tour of Virginia battle fields begun yesterday with visits to Freder icksburg and tho scene of the wilder ness fighting, David Uoyd George set out from Itlchmond early today to view tho areaV of operations around the former confederate capital first turning his attention to the historic locality of tho seven days struggle in the summer of 18G2. Tho former liritish premier was at tended on' his tour today by Rear Ad miral Cary T. Grayson of Washington and a committee of local citizens. Air. Lloyd George planned a close study of the scene of tho encounters precipi tated by General MeClellan at the hPd of the federal forces. Displaying a keen interest in tho military tactics of Dee and Jackson, the war time premier of Great Britain accompanied by Dume Margaret and Miss Megan Uoyd George in his in spection yesterday, agreed with his guides that tho world war had de veloped no military commander like either of these southern leaders and ventured tho opinion that history of America might have been different had "iUoRewnll" Jackson lived. The distinguished visitor remained for some minutes in tho small bare room where Jackson died. r. Dloyd George attended divine ser vices in the small Episcopal Hiumh in Fredericksburg where Mary Washing ton, mother of the first president, worshipped and where He the bodies of many of those prominent in colo nial history. Americans to Work in Russian Gold Fields MOSCOW. Oct. 29. Prospecting rights in approximately 3500 square miles of placer Bold fiehls in the Amur basin havo been conceded to tho Kar East Exploration company, liead- yl by Henry T. Hunt of Cincinnati, lie concession was obtained by Chas. H. Smith, former American member of the Chinese Eastern Railway com mission, -who now is in Moscow. The company expects to bej;ln work in the spring, but its rights are avail able until January, J 025, nfter which dato it must make a final contract, meanwhile paying from 5 to 8 per cent royalties In addition to an acre age rhiu'Ko. Tho fields were last worked in 1015. "Cat and Canary" There havo been frequent Inquiri of late as to why "Tho Cat ami the Canary." This' rofuvrlnfT to the popu lar mystery play which will hold the hoards nt the Pago theatre tonight. Tf know the answer as to why "The Cat and tho Canary" one must see tho performance. It is not cany to got an answer to the question otherwise. Tho producers absolutely refuse to answer this one question about the play of thrills and laughs and the public getting Into the spirit American Indian Staging 'Come-Back' WASHINGTON1, D. C Uke his old iriena, mo uuiiaiu, uiv nu-iiLaii 111 dian is making a come-back. Figures recently announced by the tiurenu of Indian Affairs show our American In dian population is now 3-1-1,303, u gain of 1144 over lust year. "Not only 'lar.t yeur, hut for thirty years, the redmen have steadily been gaining W their death rate," soys a bulletin from the Washington, D. C, headquarters of tho t National Geo graphic society. "Today there are -six Indians per squuro mile on reservations which compiise an area not niuch BmuJLler than -that of all New Kngiand. Ac cording to tho best estimates available there was an averago of only one Indian to every three square miles when white people first came to American shores, if onljt two-thirds, of the United States wore occupied J by red skins at tho present reserva tion population rate, there would bo 12,000, 0U0 Indians In the United States i today. Aboriginal l'opuliK Ion Small "MawniHolt gave tho pilsrlm fathers corn, but the fact is that Massasoit and his kith and kin lived for tho most part bv products of the chase. Deer, buffalo, bear, and rabbit were their pork and beef and berries and i nuts their potatoes. Even verdant1 America could not support an intense I population living in this fashion. The total Indian population ot tho time; Columbus landed nt San Salvador is set at about 84G.000. If all tho tribes! from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and! from the Oulf to the Great Lakes, had I assembled at one great meeting, they would have made up a community not so large as Detroit and only a fw thousand greater than Cleveland or Boston. "White men's guns decimated some tribes, disease, dissiptation and epi demics which came with tho white men, spread death more surely. Small i pox epidemics swept through the western tribes three times between 1871 and 1S37 with mora fatal results than the Influenza plague of 1918. A peculiar fever killed 70,000 Indians In California and Oregon in one year. E CJHICAOO, Oct. 20. (By tho Asso rted Press) Church and press wore termed twin brothers by Ilev. J. T. B. Smith, chairman of tho Chicago Church Federation publicity commit tee at a joint meeting today of tho federation and tho advertising coun cil of tho Chicago Association of Commerce on Church Publicity. Great co-operation between tho two was needed for the uplift of tho commu nity. The occasional attack on the news papers on charges that they aro prop aganda for powerful Interests "falls to seriously move the church, ho said, "because they know this spasmodic attack Is groundless. "A better understanding of the newspapers by1 the church members and of the church work by the news papers Is evident to all serious think Ing public leaders," ho said, -"adding that the newspapers should remember that the church Is a growing concern and ;'ls the biggest business on earth among men. Tho church membership Is growing at a faster ""ate than the population increases, he said, with church mem berships in 1I22 at 47,407.251, In 32 years, he said, church memberships increased at the rate of 8.7 per cent. a year, tom pared with a population growth at the rate of 2.125 per cent a year. "With very few exceptions, the ma at Page Tonight of tho thing alpo decline to go into any details about it. "The Cat and I tho Canary" is one of the three plays of tho mystery typo to win a wide public. Tho others wero ' The 13th Chair" and "The ltat.' While "The Cat and the Canary" in plot and story bears no resemblance to either of tho other plays, it is said to bo equally as exciting and to hold the situation and interest from the time the first cur tain rise.-t until the last word is spo ken. An excellent company is com I here to enact thqdrama. j By 1880 the Indian population had been reduced to 25G.127, therefore the present population represents an in crease of nearly 10,0,000 m 30 years, 1 richest Groan on Kurt).. "One American Indian tribe today is tho richest people on the face of the earth. Beneath the lands of the Osage Indian tribe In Oklahoma, oil was discovered. Their wells produced $50, 000. OOfc worth of oil annually, and Uncle Sam, who handles the business for this red brother, distributes to each member of the .tribe from $10,- 000 to $12,000 each1 year. In 1921! more than 2y,000,000"'bnrrels of oil were produced on Osago lands. "Partial adaptation io tho white man's ways und care by Uncle Sam are responsible for the liu-rouso In Indian population. The redman may still be a hunter, but a visitor to a reservation will find tho redskin UBe ful as well as noble. Ho is often a rancher, dairy farmer, gardener, pot tery maker, weaver, rugmakor, poul try raiser, typist, bookkeeper, miner, lumberer, guide and ho even clips coupons. Two Hundred Trllxn Salvaged. "Out of the ruin of Indian clvlUza-t tion more than 200 tribes have been salvaged. These tribes are lodged on nearly 200 reservations varying from tiny rnncherias In California to the great Navajo reservations in Arizona and New Mexico larger than the state of' Maryland. The IJureau of Indian Affairs is their guardian. It Is a gov- j eminent by Itself, having n cabinet of, six commissioners, and undertaking all encompassing activities typical of which are a probate court, trust com pany, public roads commission, or phan asylum, town building, nnd ope ration of a philanthropic association, bank, and employment agency. " Recently the red men once more daubed himself with garish war paint, dressed himself in all his feathers, and hit the war path. The pnth led to Hollywood and the Indians broke into the movies. Unci Sam gave per mission for the Shoshonl nnd Arapaho tribes of the Wind Hlver reservation In Wyoming to go to the movio city to be used in the making of pictures." jority of newspapers are not what the founder 'of Christianity would think Ideal," he snid. "It ... true that many of them are reaching up for better material. When the church ceases to criticise tho newspapers and begins a constructive method to cooperate with the public press and supply it with the material prepared in a proper manner wo will havo a higher moral tone of newspapers."

Fir THIS IS A STUDEBAKER YEAR An Orchard Disc Plow Needs a Stiff Hitch You want to offset your plow to right or left of tractor for close work under the"; low limbs. And you want the plow to '; run steady when thus offset. John Deere No. 26 is the plow that meets those requirements because of its stiff, adjustable hitch. This hitch can be adjusted to the right or left to provide the desired offset. - Being stiff, this hitch tends to hold the . plow in the furrow, when offset; and it also aids in controlling the rear wheel for ' short turns at the ends. An exclusive feature the No. 26 is the . enly disc plow with stiff hitch. ''' And don't forget these other important reasons for the great popularity of the"; No. 26. . Only 26 inches high when plowing 6 '. inches deep, and only 37 inches wide . it's the low, narrow plow that gets under the low limbs, up close to the row. Rear a end can be made to float, thus preventing damage to large roots. Unusual clear- -. ance frame is above the discs, not at the . ' side. Simple, strong and positive power lift. Hubbard Bros.
