Washington, D. C., March 12, 1910. Inquiries have been made of the Census Bureau whether farm products should be valued by farmers, in replying to census enumerators, at the general wholesale prices or at the actual prices obtained by the producer. It was pointed out by the inquirers that many farmers sell a proportion of their eggs for breeding, at much higher than the regular price. Others sell part or all of their milk, butter, and cream, at retail. Quite a number sell pure-bred livestock of various kinds at more or less fancy prices. The Bureau's correspondents are of the opinion that if sales --- J. McGuire, Theodore Philipp, Charles E. Reading. Committee on halls and speakers—Maj. E. B. Tolman, chairman; Gregg J. Welch, James S. McInerney, N. J. Fitzgerald, Herbert Friedman, E. H. Roche, Charles Wurster, James J. McCormick. It is expected that honest John E. Traeger, the leading and by far the most popular German-American in Chicago. Andrew J. Graham, the successful west side banker, Col. James Hamilton Lewis, former mayor Edward F. Dunne, John J. Lynch, President of the National Bank of the Republic and the other mayoralty candidates will soon follow suit and establish their boom headquarters in the downtown district, for every thing seems to indicate that there will be a royal battle between the big political gains to seure the nomination for mayor of this city in 1911. The greatest surprise in political circles this week, which came like a clap of thunder from a clear sky; was the defeat of Alderman Thomas J. Dixon, for re-nomination in the 2nd ward. It appears, that Col. or Boss Dewey, lulled Alderman Dixon to sleep, and permitted him to put up $2,000 or $3,000 to man the polls on primary day; that no opposition was in sight on that day, and after he had won all the delegates, who proved to be feeders at the public crib, by the grace of Col. Dewey, he ordered them to break away from Alderman Divon, and cast their ballots for Wilson Shufelt, for Alderman, who received in the Aldermanic convention of that ward about 30 votes as against 5 for Alderman Dixon. It was certainly to all appearances a smooth or a dirty "Irish trick" which Col. Dewey, and his followers put over on Alderman Dixon And owing to this fact; there will be a redhot three cornered Aldermanic fight in the 2nd ward between Wilson Shufelt, the Republican candidate, John H. Montgomery, the peoples candidate, and Edward H. Wright, who will run as an independent Republican. are quoted in this way in the census reports, the results might be somewhat uncertain as a basis for the average market prices. Responding to these inquiries, Census Director Durand states that in forming its inquiries and instructions with reference to the value of domestic animals and fowls, the Census Bureau must necessarily follow the lines laid down in the law governing its action. That law requires the Bureau to ascertain the number and value of animals or fowls. The value sought is not the value of some particular class of animals or fowls, but of all animals and fowls. It is the amount at which the animals and fowls can be sold. Good pure-blooded animals will sell for more, and thus have a greater value than the poor animals. Where there to Millionaire real estate owner, foun der der the Illinois Athletic Club, prominent Republican politician, who may be induced by his many influential friends to enter the race for Mayer of Chicago in 1911. are many pure-blooded, the average will be higher than where the opposite condition of affairs prevails, but, as a matter of fact, the pure-blooded animals are so thoroughly distributed that they left no appreciable influence upon the average published by the Twelfth Census, except in the case of the young colts of the state of New Jersey. of how the impure air from the lungs of any number of people in a room mixes with the pure air, and makes it dangerous and unfit for breathing. There must be a supply of fresh air constantly coming in to take the place of the foul air which, in all cases, should be permitted to escape near the top of the room. It is a law of Nature that air is al No appreciable influence on the average price or value of eggs, milk or butter is observed in consequence of the practice mentioned by the inquirers. The high-priced eggs, milk, butter, etc., are found about as much in one part of the country as in another. The average, which the census will publish is not that of a particular class of eggs, but of all eggs produced. It is the same for all animals, fowls and animal products. The relative number and value of the animals and products to which specific attention has been called does not exert, for the country, as a whole or for many of the states, an influence sufficient to make the average published by the census materially different from the average market prices. CONCERNING FRESH AIR. This is a little talk on air. It will tell you some things that are worth remembering. Nothing is more common than fresh air. Nature has provided it in abundance for all who will take it. A doctor noted says: "There is no one thing so potent to prevent disease, so effective in maintaining a healthy action of the whole body, so powerful to heal sickness, as fresh air. We all need it, we all have to have it whether sick or well; and the more sick we are, the more fresh air we need. Nothing stimulates the heart better than a current of fresh air upon the face. It reddens the blood, improves the secretions, aids digestion and meets most of the things needed in the treatment of consumption and pneumonia. Bad air causes disease. Consumption, pneumonia, bronchitis and catarrh are bad-air diseases. In warm, pleasant weather, when people are out of doors most of the time and have their homes and work places open for the admission of plenty of fresh air, there is little of pneumonia in Chicago. but when cold weather comes on and the windows and doors are kept closed, then the death rate from pneumonia is frightful. Bad air is the cause of colds. People who get plenty of fresh air seldom have colds. Sewage flowing into pure water pollutes it. So, the air we exhale from our lungs pollutes the air in the room. Put only ten drops of ink into a glass of clear, pure water, and it will color it so that you would not care to drink it at all. This will give you an idea of how the impure air from the lungs of any number of people in a room mixes with the pure air, and makes it dangerous and unfit for breathing. There must be a supply of fresh air constantly coming in to take the place of the foul air which, in all cases, should be permitted to escape near the top of the room. It is a law of Nature that air is always in motion, and because this is true, we have only to lower our windows a little from the top and to raise them a little from the bottom, and the processes of ventilation will go on without our thought or care. It is impossible to estimate the amount of misery, suffering, disease and death caused by impure air. If you would escape pneumonia and consumption see to it that you get at all a plentiful supply of fresh air. It is free. It is your right to have it. It is the best thing you can get to keep well.—'P.' MAYOR FRED BUSSE FAILS TO SELECT AN AFRO-AMERICAN TO SERVE ON HIS VICE COMMISSION Mayor Fred. A. Busse, selected the members of his vice commission, the first of the present week, and it must be said that the commission is composed of the best and foremost citizens of Chicago. But true to his nature mayor Busse utterly failed to select one of his worthy Afro-American supporters to serve on his vice commission. The following gentlemen are its members: Walter T. Sumner, dean Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul; Harry Olson, chief justice Municipal court; Abram W. Harris, president Northwestern university; Dr. William Healy, physician to Juvenile court; author of method of recording data on criminals used by Juvenile Psychopathic institute of Chicago; M. W. Pinkney, presiding judge of Juvenile court; John L. Whitman, superintendent of house of correction; Dr. James N. Hyde, professor Rush Medical college; Dr. W. L. Baum, Chicago Medical society, professor Postgraduate Medical college; Dr. Louis E. Schmidt, professor Northwestern university medical college; W. W. Hallam, secretary Chicago Society of Social Hygiene; Alexander Robertson, vice president Continental National Bank; Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, Federation of Women's Clubs; Dr. Anna Dwyer, board of directors of Kilo association; Medical Women's club; president of the staff of Mary Thompson hospital; Bishop William F. McDowell, of the Methodist Episcopal church; Dr. Frank Gunsaulus, pastor Central church and president Armour Institute of Technology; Prof. G. Dr. A. Beatrice Schultz Knighten Has Through Her Attorney Col. A. D. Gash INSTITUTED SUIT IN THE MUNICIPAL COURT AGAINST BISHOP H. B. PARKS. ONE OF THE HEAD OFFICIALS OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH FOR SLANDER. AND BEFORE THE FIGHT IS ENDED IN THE COURTS, THE HIGH SOCIETY FOLKS AMONG THE AFRO-AMERICANS MAY ENJOY SOME RICH AND RACY READING. Some Afro-American doctors and many other people who hate to see Dr. A. Beatrice Schultz-Knighten, meet with success in her chosen profession, have for some years been busily engaged in circulating all kinds of evil reports about her and many of her so-called good friends who always extend the glad hand and smile in her face whenever they come in contact with her, have behind her back taken much pleasure in stating that "she is nothing more than a common midwife or wet nurse," that for a very small amount of money she is ever ready to assist all women to cover up their sins or wrong doings, even to the extent of helping them to put their babies out of sight, so that they can continue to shine in society and side step decency and right living to their hearts content. Several prominent Afro-American doctors who have in the past got frightened after they had performed some mighty shady and black tricks for married and single women, in connection with their children and after working them for all the money they had or could get, and when they thought they would die from the effects of their bad treatment and blunging operations, they the doctors urged them to blow into see Dr. Schultz, that she would in a very skillful manner relieve them of their trouble and that no one would know that they had been in trouble and had brought disgrace upon themselves. It seems that Bishop H. B. Parks and his family who reside in an ele- ham Taylor, head resident Chicago commons; Prof. Herbert L. Willett, University of Chicago; The Rev. E. A. Kelly, St. Anne's Roman Catholic church; The Rev. James F. Callaghan, St. Malachy's Roman Catholic church; The Rev. Albert Evers, St. Boniface Roman Catholic church; The Rev. Abram Hirschberg, rabbi of North Chicago Hebrew congregation; The Rev. John G. Kircher, pastor German Evangelical church; David Blaustein, superintendent Hebrew institute; Prof. William I. Thomas, University of Chicago, professor of psychology; Edward M. Skinner, former president Chicago Association of Commerce; Edwin W. Sims, United States district attorney; P. J. O'Keefe, lawyer; Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Co.; Louis O. Kohtz, assistant general agent Aetna Fire Insurance company; Dr. W. A. Evans, health commissioner. Among other things the vice commission will make a complete study of the social evil conditions and its relation to the saloons, it will also collect and publish the names of those who are prominent members of the various churches who rent their property for immoral purposes and so on; in time the members of the vice commission can accomplish much good if they will only go about their work in the proper way. No.28 Schultz- has Through Attorney Col. A. D. Gash MUNICIPAL COURT AGAINST LKS OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH IS ENDED IN THE COURTS, FOLKS AMONG THE AFRO- OY SOME RICH AND RACY gant brown stone front house of their own at 3312 Calumet ave., are among the many high up shinging lights of society who have seemingly delighted in peddling it around among their friends that "Dr. Schultz is nothing more than a common abortionist and that she would rather sling untimely or immature babies from immoral females or from women who are sluttishly inclined, than eat a good square meal," or words to the same effect. And as long as Bishop Parks, who at all times feels his oats and who is one of the high or head officials of the A. M. E. church. Mrs. Parks and their two highly educated and most beautiful daughters, Miss Ruth and Miss Nioma Parks, have in the past experienced much pleasure in circulating all kinds of evil reports about Dr. Schultz. Just because she wanted Bishop Parks to pay her bill for medical services rendered to one or two of his daughters, she has through her Attorney Col. A. D. Gash, who has been our attorney for many years and one of the slickest lawyers in this country instituted suit in the municipal court against Bishop Parks and the other Parks' for slander, and the chances are that before the case is ended in the courts, the high society folks among Afro-Americans may enjoy some rich and racy reading. And from henceforth Dr. Schultz is figuring on catching many of the big society bugs who intimate that "she is only a midwife, a wet nurse or a common abortionist" in her coon trap.

Moseley, when completed will make it the prettiest and most comfortable park in the city. There will be over 3,000 grand stand seats and nearly 400 box seats, and about 1,600 bleacher seats, making a seating capacity of 5,000. This Park can be reached by any South Side service line on Cottage Grove, State, Wentworth, Halsted, Centre, Ashland, and Western or the South Side "L," making it the most accessible Park in the city. The line-up for the year of the Leland Giants is the strongest and best they ever had, as is evidenced from the fact that in their last games at Palm Beach on the 4th instant they beat the crack Royal Giants of Brooklyn, N. Y., four to nothing, with Foster, Booker and Pettaway the battery. In this game the mighty "Rube" returned to his former self and permitted the Royals but one scratch hit. This is indicative of what the mighty "Rube" will be when the season opens May 15th at their new Park. The Leland Giants leave Palm Beach on the 20th and will play Robinson's Pioneer Athletics at South Side Park at Jacksonville, Fla., March 21st, 22nd and 23rd and Tuskegee, Ala., March 24th and 25th, Memphis, Tenn., Easter, the 27th, 28th and 29th, New Orleans the 2nd and 3rd of April and the Cuban Stars at New Orleans April 5th, 6th and 7th, and will then go into Texas where they will remain until the opening of the season here, which will be at Gunther Park May 14th.

DVL The Western Casket & Undertaking Company Wins Appreciation The Western Casket & Undertaking Company Wins Appreciation THERE are 410 undertaking establishments in Chicago, and 16 of them represent us. As we grow we shall have more representatives. Even now, our branch offices are so located in Chicago, that we can promptly and perfectly handle patronage in any section of the city and suburbs. We also have offices in Aurora, Elgin, Joliet and La Salle, and we expect to establish branch offices in other towns and cities about Chicago in order to give the maximum of service at minimum cost. Prompt. Efficient Service All this is happening because we come to you with no showy pretense of solicitude. This concern is operated on the basic idea that when death comes to your home, you will receive the proper sympathy from your friends, and will not expect it to an undue degree from strangers. What you require at such a time is quick, honest, willing service, and to be protected from rank extortion. We Deal Direct With You We manufacture our own caskets and furnishings. There is no detail of a funeral that does not come within our scope. The small undertaker must buy his supplies here and there. Naturally he wants to make money. You are his opportunity. Often innocently he purchases shoddy goods from irresponsable concerns. Often he is robbed the same as you are. That does not alter the fact that we, with our unlimited facilities can, and do give you better goods and better service at the lowest prices compatible with excellence.

SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont Invites Afro-American Women to Join Movement. The suffrage movement among women is a very live topic just now in most all sections of the country, with New York perhaps as the storm center. New impetus has been given the cause in New York by the Negro Women's Business league, headed by Miss Irena L. Moorman, who at the suggestion of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, president of the Political Equality association, held an interesting and largely attended meeting recently at the Mount Olivet Baptist church for the purpose of enlisting the support of Afro-American women in the movement. The promoters of the scheme could not have selected a more capable woman than Miss Moorman to lead the fight among our people in Greater New York. There were many distinguished women of both races present. Miss Moorman presided. In the course of her address Mrs. Belmont said: "My friends, I am here because I feel that bond of human equality which alone the woman suffrage movement can create, and I, one of its exponents, come because I know that unless this cause means freedom and equal rights to all women of every race, of every creed, rich or poor, its doctrines are worthless and it must fall of its purpose. "As president of the Political Equality association I extend to all present an earnest invitation to join." "To me the right of suffrage has always seemed self evident, yet I know there are mountains of prejudice to be overcome, and they will be, as they were in the cause of slavery. The great argument I put forward is the great principle of democracy. It is as valuable to women as to men. "It gratifies me that Negroes are becoming aroused to the cause of suffrage, for it is a greater cause than that of anti-slavery, because its object is to free the mind." Others who spoke were Mrs. Ella H. Crossett, president of the State Suffrage association; Mrs. M. C. Lawson and Mrs. F. R. Keyser, president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Before the meeting closed Mrs. Belmont said: "This is one of the most interesting meetings I have ever attended. I shall be most glad to welcome any of these women at my headquarters on Fifth avenue." PENSION FOR J. H. DOWNES Civil War Veteran and Faithful Employee Richly Rewarded. A rare but most gratifying form of reward for the faithful performance of duty was adopted recently by Mrs. E. C. Hutchinson, a wealthy white lady, of 1619 Massachusetts avenue, Washington. She has retired with pay for life her former coachman and confidential man, Joseph H. Downes, after thirty-six years of efficient and entirely satisfactory service.

The hospitable home in O street is closed, and the daughters, Mrs. Florence Downes Garner, Miss Blanche Downes and Mrs. Sitka Downes Thomas, are in their beautiful new home at 1341 T street, northwest. Mr. and Mrs. Downes divide their time between the T street residence of their daughters and their country seat at Sitka Farm. Mr. Downes has a war record in which he takes a pardonable pride. He saw vigorous action in the civil conflict as a member of Company K. Twenty-ninth regiment. United States colored troops, and draws a pension for disabilities incurred in the historic campaign of General Ben Butler against New Orleans. For several years he was connected with the staff of General Butler when the latter had his headquarters in the big stone mansion near the capitol now the home of the marine hospital service. Mr. Downes is a highly respected citizen and a member of several fraternities, including the Royal Arch Masons and the Banneker Relief association. He has been prominently identified with many movements looking to the betterment of racial conditions in Washington. Successful Valentine Social. The valentine social given by the Young People's Baptist union of the Beulah Baptist church, Pittsburg, on Monday evening, Feb. 14, was a decided financial as well as a social success. Nothing was left undone by the young folks that would tend to make every one present feel the warmth and general spirit which characterize the members of the union.
