' " 1 THE FLYING FARMER. vat. TiAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL la the Only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations AMERICAN INDIAN DAY. Chief Red Fox Skuhushu of the northern Blackfoot Indians is a 10U per cent American, ne i icuuci the record his people made in supporting the war. Ameri can Indians sent 9000 warriors into Uncle Sam s service; thev cave $2,000,000 to the Amreican Red Cross; they bought $50,000,000 wprth of Liberty bonds. They were loyal in thought and act throughout. . - Now Cmei Kea if ox suggests uiai a iwjf ' tember be set aside for an annual celebration of American Indian Day. He believes such a day worthy of general recognition by all Americans because of the old Indian traditions of freedom He believes there are many things in the history of the race and the character of the finest type of American Indian that are worthy of respect and lraitThenfourth Saturday in September is suggested as the day for the celebration because it comes in the time ot the year when many vacationers have recently returned from happy camping trips reminiscent of the outdoor, hie of the early Indians. Then, too, it is the season of the Indian summer, the time of the hunting moon, the period when the corn festival ana council .lraimuw tribes were held. " . .. ', . t,a There is something distinctly appealing in the chiefs suggestion. Every Boy Scout and every Camp Fire biri would rejoice is such a day added to their red letter cal endar. Grown-ups, too, would probably be glad to nonoi the Indian o nsuch a day. In nearly every m American heart lingers a touch of sympathy and admiration tor the noblest Red Men, and a romantic worship, left ovet from story book days, or one or two famous Indian heroes. We are inclined to agree with Former State Treasur er Kay in his view upon the proposed reconstruction bond issue. Building a lot of houses at certain state institu tions is not conducive to permanent prosperity and de velopment, and gives comparatively little employment. "When the contracts are completed the state will be ipo, 000,000 in debt and little to show for it. The conferences which are being held with a view to reducing prices seem to accomplish little. No one is . . , j i. i j : u,,! nindoc-n! inner .nS disposed to lane uie ieuu in iuvvcuug po- - the public will allow itself to be held up. It's a mighty slow, sleepy, non-progressive organiza tion civic, religious or patriotic that isn't making some Bort of a drive for funds, these days. Aud Uncle Samuelis coming, along in April, also, with another $6,000,000,000 i toucn. The first Saskatchewan farmer to purchase an auto mobile is also the first to purchase an airplane. His name is George Kounkel. Mr. Kounkel is not a faddist who likes to spend his money on the latest thing out. He is a farmer with an eye to good business. . In working his farm he always used the best and up-to-date machinery. When automobiles came out he led the way in using them to facilitate farm business. He expects to use his airplane to make quick trips to various cities to sell his farm produce. The early automobiles had much to contend against in bad roads. But they and their users made good. Mr. Kounkel may be expected to overcome all similar difficul ties such as lack of landing and starting places. It is hardly likely that he expects- to peddle his goodsfrom house to house in the "cities. For the present his chief expectation may be simply quick communication with the businessmen with whom he deals. As airplane travel be comes more common, however, and the conveniences for traffic are worked out, he and many other farmers may be induced to carry some kinds of produce direct to the market by the air route. . . The opposition to the League of Nations in the. senate, of which "Slippery Bill" Borah is the apparent leader is all Dolitical camouflage. They know the people of this nation, in common with the people of all other nations, are determined that there shall be no more great wars, ana will back an organization which is designed in good faith for that purpose. These; opposition senators also know that they cannot defeat the will of a united people, but if they can quibble for some change in the verbiage of the constitution of the League of Nations, and make such a howl that changes, no matter how immaterial, are made then they can crow about having beaten the president and forced him to make the changes they desired. Mr. Wilson called these senators men with "pigmy minds," whose heads were "knots to keep the body from unraveling." Most of us would express the same sentiment in different words by designating them simply as the "peanut pol iticians" they are, President Kerr, of the O. A. C, has started on a long trip east at state expense to visit many other colleges. Let us, therefore, as taxpayers devoutly pray that he will receive no more offers of salary advance, as is alleged to have occurred once before during a similar trip. It has been pretty definitely settled that the world war cost a ground total of $197,000,000,000. And appar ently the only persons who think it worth that amount are those United States senators who are trying to block the way to permanent peace. Pity the troubles of the poor Oregonian editor. He evidently believes in the League of Nations idea, but his party, is against it. Those fellows in the senate who are afraid the League of Nations will destroy the Monroe doctrine have never been particularly strong for that doctrine heretofore. . t Citv News t Sr. C. B. O'Neiii arrived in the city yesterday from Snnte Domingo, West Indies, where he wag stationed at marine hospital. Dr. O'Neill enlisted in the navy July 25, 1918, in the hos pital corps and from Puget Sound was assigned to duties for special eye work in the West Indie.

I was apparently htvppy and contented really was, most of tho thue. But underneath was over a cur rent of anxiety, a fear of someining, I knew not what. Weeks passed aud I never again ques tioned JS'eil. We had been verr quiet save on the fourth anniversary of ourjj By Walt Mason AFTER THE WAR. When Kaiser Bill's embattled Huns were doing stunts with swords and guns, you were a dead game sport, we know, who breathed defiance to the foe. No sacrifice was then too great, you wished to squelch that William skate, and everything for which he. stood, and you were busy sawing wood. You sold the cow, your car you pawned, so you could buy another bond. With loyal boys you held the fort; you were, in truth, a dead game sport. And now the silly war is done; we've placed the kibosh on the Hun, have gained for man a brighter day but there are many bills to pay. In wartime you were great, my friend; don't be a piker at the end. Our Uncle Sam, he needs a pile", 'arid Has to borrow for a while. He needs full many a shining bone, and so he springs another loan, and we should rise on our hind legs, and offer him the dough in kegs. Are we less loyal than, we were when we were help our Uncle Sam to pay. He needs all kinds of large round plunks; we'll dig the doubloons from our trunks. And you will help us out, my friend. Don't be a piker at the end. . pected where Neil was concerned. Blanche looked lovely, as usual', quite putting mo in tho shade. Ordinary wo men, those of no particular indivdunlity of coloring and features, cannot hope to copo with the unusual few Who, liko Blnncho Orton, attracted because they nrn so different. ' Both Neil and Blanche dm nk cock tails, each of then) two, altho I frowned at Noil, This was ono other thing I held agoinst Blnncho: Neil always drank when with hor. Neil was plainly preoccupied thru nneh and both Mrs. Ortn ttnd I teased him about it, "You shouldn't invite ladles If you marnago wnen wo una given u uuu dinner and reception.

McCroskey, recently elected manager of the Salem Commercial club arrived in tho vity and. found he had troubles from Hhs start. Ilia troubles came from the fact that ho would liko a modern house to live in aud such a thing is hard to find in Salem just at AND THIS is .

There will be no entrance fee and there will be no 'collection. Everything is free and an entertaining evening of music prom ised. ' T. G. Bligh has just made one of the best investments ever recorded in Sa lem. Ho was one of six bidders for the 20x04 frame building ereeHcd by the government on t'he university campus for the boys of the S. A. T corps. It was knocked down to him for the sim ple sum of $600. As the fixtures in tho building "alone cost about that much, it will be realized that he made some bar gain. Tl&re are 8ome 15 lavatories and shower baths in tho rooms, and the building complete cost t'he government about $3700. Mr. Bligh will remove all the plumbing, and biter remove the structure' to a lot which he owns on 20th street, where ho will transform it into a modern bungalow.
