INDIAN TRIBES NOW UNDER OWN CONTROL ' (By Associated Press) MUSKOGEE, Okla., Oct 31. In tho sale of approximately 445,000 acres of coal lands owned by the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, which is set for December, authorities on Indian history see the final winding up of government supervision over the thirtythree separate tribes-of Indians still resident in Oklahoma. Practically all legislation required to this end has been enacted and the problem attendant upon the supervision of the Five Civilized Tribes have largely resolved themselves into the matter of administrative detail. The affairs of the Cherokee Indians have been completely wound up. Their lands have all been allotted and their moneys have been paid out, per capita.

The Creek nation is at the present time paying out $2,000,000 as equivalent money and all Its lands have been allotted. ... The last remnants of surplus lands have been allotted for sale. The Five Civilized Tribes now have undisputed numerical superiority over the thirty-three tribes left in the state. Before statehood the civilized tribes owned 19,520,060 acres of land. There were enrolled as members of these tribes 101,519 Indians, including all degrees of blood. Of this number 75,608 were enrolled as Indians by blood and 37,180 aa restricted Indians, being one-half or more of Indian blood.

Army Has Many Eyes t and They Are Never Closed WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE, 0ct..31. An army has many eyes, and they never close. At night the eyes are not as useful as during the day, of course, but when

darkness comes the army use3 Its ears listening posts here and there beyond the front line. Soldiers crawl, sometimes even within the enemy's lines, and "crawl back again before daylight and report what they have heard. During the day aviators are reporting from time to time after flights, detailing what they have seen beyond the front. From hills, tree tops, high buildings, village church steeples and various heights, Including captive balloons, movements of the enemy are observed by strong glasses ten to fifteen miles back of the lines. Every movement of troops or equipment seen by an observer is deported .From these reports the commanders, taking into consideration various other accounts from numerous sources, make , their plans for the future, and act as guides for the officers in making infantry and artillery attacks. -' " ' v Use Palladium Want Ads.

Today will find your business and your home b u t partly protected from fire loss. unless you have increased your insurance to cover the greatly advanced replacement cost of what you call yours Suggestion: Get out your fire insurance policy today and write or telephone your insurance agent for information that will surely benefit you.

The Fire Danger in Richmond HP HE danger of fire is nearer than you ever suspected. Your turn is as likely to be next as anyone else's. Under-insurance is gambling against a great possible loss I For the sake of perhaps only a penny or two a day. The clang; of every fire bell, which now chills you to the marrow for fear your turn has come, will not startle you so if you know you will suffer no financial loss. Proper protection costs but a trifle more than partial protection. Don't be burned out and find yourself only half insured. Your estate will be jeopardized if you fail to act.

Property Is Not Your Sole Loss LOSS in profits, in rental values, in rebuilding undestroyed portions of buildings (unless you have wisely seen to it that your policy also covers profits, rents and demolition )--loss of time, interruption to business loss of unreplaceable belongings and records costs of personal injuries inconvenience moving expenses these are great enough. Do not add additional burdens through failure to carry enough fire insuranceenough to replace your property at present high prices. This applies with even greater force if your policy bears a "Contribution Clause." Fire insurance companies will pay you "the actual cash value at the time when such loss shall happen" the then existing market value if you will properly insure.

Fire Insurance Rates Have Decreased A CCORDING to statisticians $1.50 J to $2.50 buys no more today than $1 did in 1914. Yet fire insurance rates in Wayne County have been lowered on the average about one-fourth in the past four years! , For equal risks the poor man gets as low a rate as the rich man. The small business, under like circumstances, pays the same low rate as the milliondollar corporation. Insure for your present worth. You may be only partly repaid for your fire losses if, to save a penny or so

a day, you continue to carry too little insurance.

It's downright poor economy. It's an unwarranted risk. So cover your risk on the basis of its present valuation and have your mind free from worry on that score at least.

SUGGESTION : Telephone or call upon your insurance agent or send him the coupon below or write him (his address is on your policy) . Have him talk it over with you. He'll gladly do it and without any obligation. Don't delay! One of the 40 and more fire alarms tomorrow may find financial loss staring you in the face ! Better Do It Now than to Wish You Had
