The treaty was signed in Prairie du Chien in 1825 and ratified by congress in the following spring. It was drawn in an effort to settle tribal boundary lines and stop the several tribes from fighting. Included were the Sioux, Chippewa, Sac, Fox, loway, Pottowomanie, fU i i i i vai v)i I i tu 1 Mill riospecls for a fine small grain harvest in Minnesota appeared good yesterday as harvesting of rye and winter wheat started in many sections of the northwest Hesvy June rains, running up to seven inches in many communities, made conditions in the state ideal for development of the small grain crop, except in the Red River valley. In a half-dozen valley counties a long period of drouth cut into prospects, but rains of the last week had revived hopes for at least fair fields.

With the exception of eastern and central South Dakota, where good small grain crop was being harvested, the picture was not no attractive for the balance of the northwest. In both Montana and North Da- Menomonie, Ottowa and Winnebago. The commissioners for the gov ernment were William Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition, Lewis Cass, governor of Michigan territory and Henry Schoolcraft, dis coverer of the headwaters of the Mississippi. The treaty descended through members of the Kaposia band of which Little Crow was chief. He was the grandfather of the Little Crow of the 1862 uprising.

The treaty was given to Mr. Hopkins 20 years ago by the Rev. Henry Westman, an Indian preach er, of Santee, Neb. PITTEISGER LAMENTS ENDING OF PWA Washington, July 13.

It was in 1933 that he left Blake to take over the Adelphi post, and shortly afterward launched his career as a radio "questions for money" askcr. Tall and garrulous, Slater is a 38-year-old West Virginian and a graduate of West Point, where his nickname was "Babe" either because he entered at 16, or because he weighed 205 pounds. When his former pupils listen now to Slater "Askit-Basket" over WCCO at 6 p. m. Thursdays and hear a program guest miss a ques tion, one thought is uppermost in their minds: That ring, you'know.

THIS IS THE FRANK With original declared was an "outstanding federal agency." "Many congressmen, including myself, have advocated that this agency, which expired June 30, be continued, but the administration has seen fit to abandon an agency which has furnished employment to many who other wise would have been on relief," Pittenger said in a statement.

Miss Good for Rap BUT if a boy missed Slater's question, Slater would turn his ring around so the stone setting protruded on the inner side of his hand, and pat the misser smartly on the head while reciting the correct answer, enabling the student to put the proper knowledge in the proper bump. His former students are not surprised that Jim McWilliams (nee Slater) is a thumping success on the airwaves. They describe him as a hard-working, spectacular teacher and quizzer. Many of them recall with pride that they were "patted" by his turn-about ring. "He was a dynamo, a hard and he got a lot out of us," one of them recalls.

"He wasn't a mouse of a man by a long shot, and we liked him for it. He was dramatic coach for the Blake plays, coached lhe debate team and public speaking classes, and still found time to help out in directing class athletic teams." Teaches in Brooklyn One of his former pupils Chuck Bellows, son of the late Henry A. Bellows, a CBS executive is credited with putting in a word for Slater that resulted in his chance to become a sports announcer. He even was chosen to announce a presidential inauguration, serves now as the voice on many news reel productions, and still keeps his question-asking up to the minute by serving as headmaster of Adelphi academy in Brooklyn.

Ask Your Neighbor About This Wonder Washer OPEN MONDAY EVENING Bill Slater Doesn't IW Academic Technique, But Gets Results Many a head contains the "bump of knowledge" because Bill Slater put it there. But oh what a difference is his present-day manner of imparting said bump, as a number of Minneapolis young men can testify.

Under his radio name of Jim McWilliams, Bill Slater is one of the most famous quiz-conductors on the air today, and owes part of his success to the fact that he learned the art of asking questions while he taught mathematics here at Blake school. He also got his radio baptism in Minneapolis and was known to thousands of northwest sports fans when he announced Minnesota football games for several years. Dean of Quizzers Slater, dean of radio question- askers, was the first Professor Quiz, later quit to run 'Uncle Jim's Question Bee" and more recently took over his present CBS Thursday night feature, "Jim McWilliams' Askit-Basket." But to get back to the "bump of knowledge" department. Today, when a guest on his program answers a question correctly, Jim McWilliams hands over a $10 bill. If incorrectly, he adds to the misser's bump of knowledge by giving the right answer.

This method puts reverse-English on his quizzing methods while a Blake teacher. In those days, former students recall, he wore a huge ring with a stone in it half the size of a marble.
