urging the Department to spend
this sum in establishing the Kio

farms nr allotments feeling that
they will never accomplish any-
thing along the line of civiliza-
tion until tftuy are taught to love

accomplished by quarterly or an-

mules range from coming yearlings to broke
work mules. This Is my last sale. I have
sold my ranch and everything will go to the
