The Agency is buying a well drilling machine to be used in boring wells for Indians who are establishing homes on tentative allotments in various parts of the reservation. A good well of water right near the house is not only more convenient than an open stream or lake, but is much more sanitary than surface water which is contaminated with all kinds of surface drainage. Join the "Home Builders" the Progressives have the numbers of your tentative allotment recorded at the Agency, and then put in your application for a well of pure water to be provided on the premises. Hurry, hurry, or you may have to wait until next year while the prudent ones are enjoying modern conveniences this year.
