IT IS ESTIMATED THAT BETWEEN TEND THE SUPREME SESSION HAD INVADED CHICAGO IN 1917 NOT LESS THAN $100,000. THAT VAST SUM OF MONEY WAS CAUSE GOVERNOR EDWARD LECTING MESSRS. SWANN AND HIGHLY MORAL AND INTELLECTUAL AMERICAN RACE RESIDING IN The Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D. D.D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann just prior to their selection to their respective positions on the Illinois State Commission, boldly held out the idea to Governor Edward F. Dunne, who is unable to distinguish the slightest difference between grand political rascals or blood-sucking leeches and honest and respectable Colored men and women, that they could handle or control all the most prominent Colored men in this country and that owing to their strong pull with them, that they would not have the least trouble in crushing out or down all the opposition that the writer and his followers could hurl at them; that they were nothing more than so many dogs yelping or snapping at their heels; that with all of their power and influence that they would have all the Colored conventions to converse in Chicago in 1915, including the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. So with all the political power of Governor Dunne and Mayor Carter H. Harrison at their dishonest backs they started out to skin us alive in that respect, but they had utterly failed to take into consideration the uniliputed fact that sometimes at least the pen is mightier or more powerful than the sword. They never dreamed for one minute that for some years that The Broad Ax had been plowing its way into the homes of many of the most prominent Knights of Pythias in this country; that the Hon. S. W. Green, Supreme or Grand Chancellor of the K. P.'s throughout the world, Gen. J. T. T. Warren of Hot Springs, Arkansas, the chief high priest of the order in that state, Hon. Ernest C. Tidington, the successful banker of Indianapolis, Ind., and many other shining lights of the order are at the present time and have been for a long time regular subscribers to The Broad Ax. That long before the supreme lodge met in Baltimore, Md., in August they HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY had been reading and familiarizing themselves with the unsavory and reprehensible conduct on the part of the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D. D.D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, and gwing to these facts were they in favor of permitting Messrs. Carey and Swann to cover themselves over with undying glory and honor at the expense of the K. P.'s. Mayor Carter H. Harrison who against our solemn protest appointed a Colored man who was a self-confessed gambler to a responsible position in the city hall and later on he was forced to discharge or remove him from office, joined in with the city council of this city which passed a resolution in favor of inviting the supreme lodge to meet in this city. The Chicago Association of Commerce followed suit and it was also aided by the Association of Commerce of Baltimore, Md., in the unsuccessful attempt to induce the head officers of the order to convene in Chicago. Messrs. Carey and Swann entertained one false idea that they had succeeded in putting one over on us when Wednesday, July 30, 1913, Mayor Harrison appointed Aldermen Harding, Gazzolo, Carr, Pitte, Schaeffer, Rev. E. J. Fisher, Hon. Oscar DePriest, Mr. A. H. Roberts, Majors Robert R. Jackson and John C. Buckner as a committee to use their united influence to have the K. P.'s to hold their sessions in this city, but to no avail, and their labors were in vain. It is true that Majors Buckner and Jackson both traveled to Baltimore and worked very gallantly to accomplish that object, but they were not in the running and they and all the invitations from the city officials of Chicago and from Governor Edward F. Dunne which were not even read before any of the sessions of the supreme lodge and they were turned down cold. It is estimated that between 3,500 and 4,000 K. P.'s always attend the meetings of the supreme lodge, that CHICAGO, NOVEMBER. 22 1913 JOHN H. HARRIS they generally hold together for four or five days. It is fair to assume that if the K. P.'s would have invaded Chicago in 1915 instead of holding forth in Columbus, Ohio, that they would have expended not less than one hundred thousand dollars among the business men in this city. That vast sum of money was lost to this city simply because Governor Dunne was so dull or stupid and we might say short-sighted that even after he had been requested not to do so by some of his best Colored friends and warm supporters, he would persist like a strong headed blind man in selecting Messrs. Carey and Swann as the head or the highly moral and intellectual leaders of the Afro-American race residing in Illinois. All that we have to say at this time is simply this, and that is, if Governor Dunne continues to be well pleased with his two warm pals, Messrs. Carey and Swann, he is heartily welcome to them! Cardinal Farley in a letter to Mr. Frank H. Mann, secretary of the New York City Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis is even more emphatic in his support of the Tuberculosis Day campaign. He has spoken to the elergy under his supervision about assisting in this movement and has directed that the work be promoted in all the parochial schools. In his letter to Mr. Mann, the Cardinal says: "Your work must commend itself to every human soul as it aims to free from an evil that has blighted many a family and to destroy a source of contagion that knows no barrier. "It did not take more than twenty years in the past to make small-pox, which had countless victims in its day, almost an unknown terror. This was accomplished through local sanitary efforts and we may expect, if your organization can prevail upon all to use personal sanitary efforts, to see the White Plague banished from our CARDINALS GIBBONS AND FARLEY ENDORSE TUBERECULOSIS DAY. Highest Roman Catholic Church Officials Urge Clergy to Help in Nation-Wide Movement. Both Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal Farley have endorsed the movement for the observance of the Fourth National Tuberculosis Day on December 7th, according to an announcement made to-day by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Cardinal Gibbons, who has for a long time taken an active interest in the anti-tuberculosis fight in Maryland, writes to Mr. H. Wirt Steele, secretary of the Maryland Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis, wishing him success in the Tuberculosis Day movement, and expressing his interest and appreciation. Among other things he says: "My wonder has been aroused by the simplicity of the arms used in this warfare—namely—rational living and cleanliness—which are within the reach of all. "I shall follow with special interest all your efforts in this splendid propaganda against the terrible disease, and hope the results of your labor will be commensurate with the zeal, the energy, and self-sacrifice which you and your fellow-workers are devoting to the work. "I can remember well the ravages made by yellow fever in days gone by, but rejoice to see that the medical fraternity have conquered it. "I trust that you will be equally successful against tuberculosis." Cardinal Farley in a letter to Mr. Frank H. Mann, secretary of the New York City Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis is even more emphatic in his support of the Tuberculosis Day campaign. He has spoken to the elergy under his supervision about assisting in this movement and has directed that the work be promoted in all the parochial schools. In his letter to Mr. Mann, the Cardinal says: "Your work must commend itself to every human soul as it aims to free from an evil that has blighted many a family and to destroy a source of contagion that knows no barrier. "It did not take more than twenty years in the past to make small-pox, which had countless victims in its day, almost an unknown terror. This was accomplished through local sanitary efforts and we may expect, if your organization can prevail upon all to use personal sanitary efforts, to see the White Plague banished from our midst in the not distant future. "The campaign of education and regulation must continue until all shall know their duty and have the determination to push forward all preventive effort against its breeding places, so that neither occupation, residence or personal habit shall give occasion to its development."

We often see resolutions of condolence beginning with, "Whereas, it has pleased an All Wise Providence to remove from the scene of his earthly suffering, and after a long and painful illness, our beloved friend, John Smith, whose death from typhoid fever occurred on the blank day of blank," etc. Some day in the not far distant future a death from typhoid, the king of fifth diseases, will invoke a resolution from the mourning friends of the deceased, which will read something like this: "Whereas, Through the criminal neglect, carelessness and incompetency of our city officials, our water supply was permitted to be polluted with sewage and other dangerous filth, to the extent of making it unsafe to use; and "Whereas, As a result of such criminal carelessness, neglect and incompetency of our city, our beloved friend and fellow townsman, John Smith, was killed with typhoid fever; therefore be it "Resolved, That we condemn the lack of care and vigilance shown by those whose business it is to safeguard the public health and whose negligence and disregard of their official duties have caused the death of our friend and brought sorrow to his family; and, be it further "Resolved, That we earnestly urge upon the public prosecutor that he take immediate steps to bring before the bar of justice the men who in their official capacities are responsible for the death of our friend and for the presence of a dangerous and loathsome disease in our city." In the light of sanitary science we are becoming less and less inclined to place the blame on Providence for the sickness and suffering that are due to our ignorance or carelessness or both. God's agencies, if left to work unmolested, make the waters of our lakes and rivers pure. Men defile and pollute them. So, when an epidemic of typhoid breaks out in a community and is traced to a polluted water supply, the resulting sickness and loss of human lives should not be charged against an All Wise and merciful Providence, but rather to an ignorant, unenlightened and careless community. There is a good deal of talk now-a-days about good team work; this means the kind of work that is done when people combine together to do some very definite thing, or to accomplish some very definite purpose. This idea of team work is excellent. There is no reason either why it should not be used in carrying forward those movements that are intended to improve community conditions. If there are matters, in your community that need attention, conditions that need correcting, try some good team work and see what will happen. * * * Whenever there is a child in distress, there should be some agency to offer immediate aid. Common humanity demands it and a Christian civilization can do no less. NOTES ON NEGRO PROGRESS The State Pure Food inspector for Kentucky recently reported the Negro grocery store of J. R. Hawkins & Co., at Hopkinsville, excellent for cleanliness. The Hawkins & Co. store is kept scrupulously clean, carries a very large stock, and eighty per cent of its patrons are the best Whites in the city. The Local Negro Business League at Indianapolis was recently reorganized with a set of energetic, hustling officers. The use of the Y. M. C. A. there was tendered to the league in which to hold monthly meetings, without charge. Phillip H. Brown, a Negro printer of Hopkinsville, and well known throughout the country, has formed a partnership with a White printer in his town, and conducts an up-to-date, and very successful printing establishment. In addition, Mr. Brown conducts The Hopkinsville News. The Negro business and professional men at Owensboro, Ky., are very desirous of establishing a race newspaper in that city, and are in quest of a man with sufficient ability and experience to take charge of it. If they can find the man they will contribute $1,000 cash to start it off. These men are actuated solely by race pride. Owensboro has a total population of 26,000, 7,000 of which are Negroes. Small surrounding or nearby towns which the paper would cover has a Negro population of perhaps 15 or 20 thousand. James T. Roberts of Evansville, Ind., conducts an installment house, handling new and secondhand furniture of every description. His business has grown so that he was compelled to buy a building with double the capacity of his old building. The Negroes of Louisville, Ky., have two thoroughly modern libraries, each provided with an assembly room, reading room, and many thousands of volumes of the standard and latest books together with all the leading newspapers and periodicals. The Lexington News, a Negro weekly at Lexington, Ky., has one of the best and largest mechanically equipped printing shops in the country, among the race. Hardin Tolbert of Frankfort, Ky., has established what he styles as a Publicity Bureau for handling all the Negro newspapers and publications, in the small town of Frankfort, alone he puts out weekly over four hundred copies of various Negro publications, and nets a handsome income. --- The Local Business League of Sherman, Tex., has already taken steps looking to the chartering of a special train to carry the Local Business Leagues of Fort Worth, Dallas, Denison, and Sherman Texas, to the National meeting at Muskogee next August. They are also planning to charter a special train back on which to carry the officers of the National League who will be invited to make a trip to their section to stimulate the people of that section. George Washington, a Colored man of Lexington, Ky., conducts the largest clothes pressing and cleaning establishment in that city of 35,000 population. The drivers of his delivery wagons are all uniformed. He also conducts a successful herderdashery. Recently he opened another establishment directly across the street from his main store, which he conducts under another name, to cater to a cheaper class of patrons. His two places give him a monopoly of the business. Shelton & Willis, successful Negro undertakers at Indianapolis, Ind., recently purchased the large stone church adjoining the Colored Y. M. C. A. there, which they proposed to remodel and make one of the finest, and most modern undertaking establishments, White or Colored, in Indianapolis. WALTERS A. M. E. ZION CHUCH 38TH AND DEARBORN STREETS. Rev. H. J. Callis, Pastor. The special services held in the Fulton Street M. E. church on last Tuesday night, by the members of our church and of St. Paul's C. M. E. church was a splendid success. The attendance from St. Paul's was not so large, but enthusiastic, while Zion was out in large numbers and was accompanied by its vested choir. Mrs. C. J. Jackson, our organist, and the members of our choir generally deserve high praise for the excellent music rendered on this occasion. The offering was over Twenty Dollars. Our services last Sunday were well attended all day. Both sermons by the pastor were of the usual high order and enjoyed by both audiences. Mrs. Esther Thompson united with the church at the evening service. The National Negro Semi Centennial Exposition Association Will Give a Reception and Grand Ball at the Seventh Regiment Armory.

The famous 8th Regiment Band, under the direction of Captain W. E. Berry, which received eleven encores on its recent trip to New York City, and woke up the eastern people, by its masterful playing, will furnish the music on that evening, for it is the only band in Chicago that can fill the 7th Regiment Armory with dreamy and waltzy music from end to end.

Our services for the first Sunday in December will be as usual, omitting the celebration of the holy Eucharist since our second quarterly meeting occurs on the third Sunday in the month. What is the exact line of demarkation between man and the other animals which he calls brutes? In what way does he essentially differ from the beasts? It is, we are told, by his intelligence, by the faculties of his mind, by his reason, that man is superior to all the other animals, which in all they do, act but by physical impulsions, reason taking no part. But the beasts, having more limited needs than men, do very well without these intellectual faculties, which would be perfectly useless in their way of living. Their instinct is sufficient for them, while all the faculties of man are hardly sufficient to render his existence endurable, and to satisfy the needs which his imagination, his prejudices, and his institutions multiply to his torment. The brute is not affected by the same objects as man; it has neither the same needs, nor the same desires, nor the same whims; it early reaches maturity, while nothing is more rare than to see the human being enjoying all of his faculties, exercising them freely, and making a proper use of them for his own happiness.—Ex-Priest Mesier in the People's Press, Chicago, November 15, 1913.

The Alpha Suffrage Club celebrated its first year of organization by what is to be an annual dinner Wednesday night at the Progressive Club, 19 W. Jackson Boulevard. Preparations were made for one hundred diners, but the death on Tuesday of Mrs. Ida Lewis, a well-known West Side club woman, prevented a large contingent from that section of the city attending. Members of the club, prominent suffragist leaders, friends of the movement and a few gentlemen, numbering nearly sixty, of both races, sat down to the exceptionally good menu. The spacious club room was brilliant with light, its cozy arrangement bespoke welcome and if any one had previously thought of that bugaboo, formality, it was laid aside at the door—for it was a large, happy family that enjoyed that dinner. The only attempt at decoration was displayed on the tables which were set star shape and adorned with vases of cut flowers. Women Learn the Art of Voting. Women Learn the Art of Voting. The Early arrivals listened to a pleasing musical program, participated in by two soloists. Mrs. Xenia Jenkins and Mrs. Madie E. Mead. Mrs. C. H. Miller was the accompanist. Mr. Harry Joyce contributed a piecole number. Following, the ladies became enthused over instructions in the art of voting. A voting machine occupied one corner of the room and its intricate operation was demonstrated by Miss Nina T. Curtis, assistant to County Judge Owens. This practical feature pleased the ladies, many wishing that the next day was election. Miss Curtis also explained the election laws, emphasizing the importance of the primary elections. Mrs. Barnett Presides. The after dinner program of speaking and music was impromptu. Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, president of the club, presided. She made a short address in which she told of the two occasions, the dinner celebration, the first year's anniversary of the club and the fiftieth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. "The club happily selected this day for its celebration and the world knows how dearly we love to commemorate any event with which Lincoln had to do," said the speaker. The Progressive Clubs was given praise for its generosity in the use of its quarters, the arrangement of the dinner and its continued co-operation in the work of the club. Mrs. Owens was to have made the principal address but was compelled to leave in order to fill another engagement. Mrs. L. S. Bishop was the speaker introduced. Mrs. Bishop is prominent as a suffragist and she spoke eloquently along those lines. The other speakers were Mrs. Gilling, vicepresident of the club, ex-Congressman John R. Lynch and Mr. Thomas G. Knight, president of the Progressive club. Poets In Their Own Verse. Poets in Their Own Verse. "The addresses were interspersed with singing and recitations, two of Chicago's young people being heard in their own compositions. The first was a poem "My Mother" by Mr. Fenton Johnson, author of "A Little Dreaming" and Miss Bettiola Forton, in a beautiful appeal for fairness, entitled "Brothers", Miss Hortensia Gordon of Boston, played during this number. Mrs. K. G. Bills, editor of the Alpha Clubs Weekly, read an interesting paper on current events. Great applause was bestowed upon Miss Maude J. Roberts after her solo, accompanied by Miss May Strayhorn, and the program closed by the reading of Lincoln's famous speech by Miss Viola Hill. Noticed among those present were Mrs. Bessie Nance, Mrs. McDowell Mrs. David Lawrence, Mrs. William McKinley, Mrs. L. S. Bishop, Mrs. Gilling, Mrs. John Guy, Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley, Mrs. Julia Davis, Mrs. K. G. Bills, Mrs. Mary Early, Mrs. H. C. Thomas, Miss Leonora Curtis, Mrs. Joanna Dawson, Miss Viola E. Hill, Rev Lloyd, Rev. S. W. Wayland, Mr. Alfred Anderson. Clubs Good Work. The Alpha Club is proud of its year's work. It boasts of a membership of one hundred, having been organized last January. Its object is to study political and civic questions for themselves, and they are making a strong effort to interest every Afro-American woman in the city. Last March they sent Mrs. Barnett to Washington, D. C. to represent them in the suffrage parade, and is the only club to hold a suffrage meeting in the Bridewell, since club also took part in the automobile the ballot was granted to the women of Illinois. Thirty-five members of the suffrage parade in July. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. Suggestive and ofttimes indecent buffoonery is for refined comedy and several of the would-be funny teams appearing at times at the State Street theatres are hereby cautioned to be more careful in their remarks. The offenders are of both races and they must remember that the very small evidence of intelligence that oftimes places them on the crowded "Stroll" will not be able to sustain them during the coming season and snowballs will be their only diet. This little hint should be sufficient to the most flittering intellect. Out in Iowa Mr. Richard B. Harrison is now termed "Professor." How the popular dramatic reader acquired that title, The Clinton Herald does not say, but it praises his work in the finest style. His recent audiences there were pleased with his impersonation of "Shylock" and enjoyed his reading from Dunbar. The friends of Frank P. George and they are legion, are delighted with the announcement that "Danabegay" the strangely different entertainment in which he stars will again be staged at Oakland Music Hall, Wednesday evening, November 26. It will be the second sensational dramatic success of the month to say nothing of the pleasure of the dance that follows. It is a pity that Aida Overton Walker's Chicago aggregation could not move on. Had the organization been a permanent one it would have been to satisfactory receipts everywhere. But Chicago is proud of its support and hopes that other cities will see the wisdom of presenting this peerless artist under their own auspices. AIDA OVERTON WALKER OFF FOR NEW YORK. World Famed Soubrette Returns to Her Home Well Pleased With the Patronage Chicago Gave to Her Last Engagement. Aida Overton Walker, world famed soubrette, who delightfully entertained crowded houses at a special two weeks engagement at the Pekin Theater, left Chicago for her home in New York City, Tuesday afternoon. She was accompanied by her maid Miss Johnson. The members of her company who reside in New York had gone before, while several remained here. Mrs. Walker was delighted with the warm welcome and generous patronage given her in Chicago. "I am always happy and my work is always appreciated in Chicago," said she with a smile. "Mr. Henry Jones is to be congratulated on his farsightedness in gratulated on his farsightedness in arranging and promoting this affair, and The Broad Ax is a wide-awake newspaper. It gave me more space than all of the other newspapers combined." "I thank the editor and I want you to tell him so," shouted Mrs. Walker as the train pulled out. THE RIGHTS OF THE COMMON PEOPLE. A Chapter on the Unwritten Law of the Road with a Moral to it—Everybody's Road. Every man has his right on the highway. So long as he observes the rules of the road he may go faster or slower, on foot or horseback, bicycle or auto or on horsewagon. He has his right—the common right to use the road. That's a thing to remember. Some of us along the common road which runs from one mystery to the other act like joy riders and scorchers. We try to own the road. We fail to recognize the common right to go on foot, or on horseback or by touring car or in one horse fashion. Sometimes we act as though some people ought not to be given gangway, but crowded out of the road to struggle cross lots as they may.

The Now this is a common road, this highway leading up or down as men elect to travel it. It is a public place where common rights prevail. Nobody has any right to nail up signs of "No Thoroughfare." It's everybody's road. One of the first things taught the boy when he begins to drive on the road is that he must turn to the right when meeting. We teach the rules and courtesies of the road. We observe them fairly well. One of the things the beginner on the big road should be taught first, is that it is the common highway, that all have equal rights along it under the law of common equality and that the easiest and safest way to travel it is to observe the rules of the road. A NINE YEAR OLD MOTHER Mildred Meredith, the oldest of a family of three orphans, their mother died when they were six, four and two years.

Year: Look Tale of Afro-Americans' Achievements Since Emancipation. What use has the colored race made of its fifty years of freedom? What are the signs of progress? What are the economic and social conditions that have important meaning not only to the race, but also to the white man? What educational agencies are at work for the improvement of the whole southland? Again, what important role is the race playing in the drama of agricultural development? What does the latest federal census indicate regarding the movement of the Negro from the country to the city and the relative mortality of our people on the land and in the congested districts? What is the extent of the influence of the Negro press? These vital questions of progress and present day welfare are strikingly answered in the "fiftieth anniversary edition" of the Negro Year Book, which has been compiled by Monroe N. Work, who has charge of research and records at Tuskegee Institute. Within 350 pages, bristling with thought provoking facts, there is told a wonderful story of the development of the colored American during fifty years of freedom-years of opportunity, struggle, perseverance and faith in God. While figures cannot adequately convey the real meaning of the advancement of a people who have suffered much and won important victories, nevertheless they do indicate, on the basis of established facts, the present economic, social and religious trend of the race. The figures quoted in the Year Book should interest those who are giving money to our schools and those who are urging men and women to invest in character building. Publicity should be given to the facts of our progress for the benefit of the average white man, who naturally knows little about the Negro as an individual capable of development. A great many regard him as a "problem" rather than as a factor in national advancement. The facts should also be published as an inspiration to Negro youth who are only too prone to accept their parents' dictum, who too often say, "You never can be nobody, nohow." MEDICAL ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN RALEIGH IN 1914 Old North State City Will Entertain National Body of Physicians. The popularity of the National Medical association was strikingly shown at the last annual meeting from the number of invitations received from various sources asking for the convention in 1914. Among the cities which sent invitations through their representatives were St. Louis, Atlanta, St. Paul and Raleigh. N. C. As the last session was held in Nashville, Tenn., the association decided to accept the invitation from Raleigh and will hold its sixteenth annual meeting in the letter city in 1914. Dr. W. G. Alexander, secretary of the organization, in a recent open letter paid a high tribute to the local entertainment committee and to the citizens generally of Nashville for the generous hospitality shown at the meeting held in that city. Dr. Alexander also comments liberally on the work of the session performed by individuals in the various sections of the program, such as clinic, dental, surgical and literary. The paper read by Dr. A. W. Dumas of Natchez. Miss., however, on "Vice Disease" was conceded by all to have been the most highly instructive and valuable to the profession of any yet heard on the subject. So pleased were the members that they requested the executive board to have the matter edited and printed for distribution among the laity. The surgical features of the Nashville session without exception were the best conducted since the inception of the association. The officers for 1913-14 are: President. Dr. A. M. Brown, Birmingham, Ala.; vice president. Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey, Richmond, Va.; second vice president. Dr.-E. J. LaBranch, New Orleans; treasurer. Dr. J. R. Levy, Florence, S. C.; secretary, Dr. W. G.

W. Erwin, Memphis, Tenn. (surgical section). Public Interest in Series of Recitals. Much interest is being taken by lovers of music and those who follow the art as a profession in the series of recitals to be given this fall by Chorister J. R. Walker of the Warren Methodist Episcopal church in Pittsburgh. Mrs. Mattie Hawkins Wilson, Mrs. E. W. Thomas, W. T. Miller and Harry Bolden will take part in the first recital of the series on Friday evening, Dec. 12. These recitals will be of especial interest and benefit to the people of Pittsburgh. Mr. Walker is well known and capable of giving the public the kind of music it likes to hear. Young Men's Christian Association.

Four launches are used in patrol and transportation work on national forests in Alaska, which include many small islands and inlets. On the best German forests the annual expense is $13 an acre, but the gross returns are as much as $24. Thus they yield a net return of $11 an acre each year. Motion picture companies are making films of all of the activities of the federal forest service, including planting, cutting timber, patrol and lookout work. Already at least two fire fighting "movies" are being exhibited. Three Strikes. Any American boy might become president, but many of them know from experience that there is no hope of their becoming baseball pitchers.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. Perhaps one reason why it has rained so seldom in St. Louis this summer is because nobody cares whether the ball game is interfered with or not.—St. Louis Times.
