THE FIGURE CARVING AND FEATHER WORK OF COLOMBIA 9 



that I could afford, and I prize every 

 one of them as 1 would a relic of pre- 

 historic man. Whenever I look upon 

 Arroyo's work it carries me hack over 

 the mountains to the hidden city and 

 the little man who was my friend. He 

 came down to the train the morning 

 I left, at six o'clock to say good-by. 

 His last words to me were, "I wish 

 you a very happy journey. You have 

 been very good to me." 



I have seen the Mexican feather 

 work and the arts and crafts in many 

 foreign countries, but to Colombia be- 

 longs the wreath of laurel, for never 

 have I seen anything equal to the art 

 of Arroyo the feather worker, or the 

 wood carvers of Bogota, my dream 

 city of the Southland. 



Novel Editing in Nearness to Nature. 



The pretty, bustling little town of 

 Westfield, in the Woronoco Valley in 

 the western part of the old Bay State, 

 renowned for its manufacture of whips 

 and cigars, and famous as the "pure 

 food" town of New England, and well 

 known for its educational institutions, 

 now claims another distinction be- 

 cause it is the home of the Woronoco 



Valley Calumet, unique among present 

 day publications. This little periodical 

 is issued from a sanctum in the wilds 

 of the historic valley — a typical Indian 

 tepee, "Seneca Wigwam, The Press in 

 the Forest." 



The Woronoco Valley Calumet — 

 7.'he Peace Pipe, is a little magazine 

 owned, edited, illustrated, printed and 

 published by Joseph C. Duport, a 

 well-known journalist, artist and out- 

 of-door enthusiast of Westfield, Mas- 

 sachusetts. It made its appearance 

 some three years ago, and at once met 

 with public favor. Since that time its 

 growth has been sure and steady. It 

 savors of the wilderness, and links the 

 historic past with the teeming present. 

 It teaches the gospel of sunshine and 

 of good cheer, and is rich in Indian 

 traditions, philosophy and records. 



The home of the Calumet is Seneca 

 Wigwam, where the editor, far from 

 the hurry and the pressure of the con- 

 ventional business life, prepares his 

 editorials in the wilderness, with the 

 chirp of birds and the soothing mur- 

 mur of the pines about him, sets his 

 type in the shade of a hemlock and 

 prints his little "Indian" magazine
