After a seven-hour session of the Chatham county board of commissioners in their investigation of the conditions surrounding the death of James Youngblood, a convict serving a ten-year term, who died six days ago, as it is alleged, from the effects of a lethal drug, commissioners reserved their decision. From the testimony, it was learned that Deputy Warden J. W. McRane, administered a cruel and inhuman thrashing, and that he being ill from bad treatment, the lashes inflicted, like those given shaves during slavery, caused his blood to flow more than the most bournous acts committed to the south since the "afflicts." No mercy or clemency was shown the prisoner. Nothing but mean, down-right hatred, it is alleged, caused the poor man to the whipped, which resulted in his death. Deputy Warden McRane had the Georgia law that allowed a convict to whiten a convict and Willie Jackson, another convict, testified that he saw the warden administer the thrashing, that his blood bolled as he watched his fellow blood bleed from the lashes. He said that the warden started early in the morning to thrash Youngblood and that Youngblood faltered. Jackson said that Youngblood faltered in the middle where he was working. The warden had other convicts sit on Youngblood's body and press his head into the mud so that people passing on the highway could not hear the screams of the almost murdered man. So mangle by the Youngblood, the Youngblood attempted to borrow a knife to suicide falling, he jumped into the canal in an attempt to commit suicide, but was pulled out and Warden McRane flogged him again. It is now said that the commission is thinking of giving Youngblood a mouthful of bravery and Youngblood a bite after the last suicide, but left in the case until evening, then he was carted back to camp, and died before the county physician arrived. Southern papers still say the race just not go north. HELD FOR BIGAMY CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE York City, Pa., Dec. 29. Benjamin F.

ABN Why bs RFg Se ah} Retrospective A Brief Review of the Conditions of | the Show Business as the Old | Year Is Getting Ready to Vamose | and the New One Is Butting In The year just ending has heen a great one for the vaudeville performers of the Race as well as those who make the stock and tabloid end of theutricals a specialty. Road attractions have been 48 searce as the ptoverbial hen's teeth, those hitting the roud confining their routing entirely to the south. ‘The one notable exception to this rule ig the Smart Set Company, headed by Salem ‘Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt. This is “conceded ta be the best uttraction that our people have at the present time and it is playing the best chain of theaters on the Atlantic seaboard with @ success that justifies the asser- tion that the offering this season is the Vest ever presented by It. The fact tha! there are several other companies. who have annexed the name Smart Sets another indication that this aggregation is having @ great amount of weil earned prosperity, ‘The fuct that inferior cam- panies have from tlme to time taken it upon themselves to masquerade under a name that has teen made famous by the great stars of the past and the bes! performers of the present does not seem to bother the two sterling actars wha now head this aggregation, nnd it is the humble opinion of the writer that there is no harm heing done, Inasmuch as the name-nabhers are of the quality that will always be forced through sheer lack of veal ability to remain way down behind the sticks. There are 2 few of the old-time minstrel companies that xeem to prosper in the south, chiel among which is the J. C. O'Brien Geor- Bias. Stock companies and tabs are as thick all over the country 4s bees Around a honey stump. It seems to he the style. 7 Stock Companies Among the companies playing under the head of “stock.” the most notably Successtul- one of the year has been that headed by Billy King; in making this statement Iam not trying to con- vey the idea that many of the stock companies haven't. had suecese to a greater ar fess degree, but the fact re- mains that Billy King and his players did what no other bunch of performers have ever done in the past and what is doubtful if there will ever be a bunch do in the future. For twenty- six solid weeks this aggregation drew record crowds at the Grand theater: Chicago, the attendance of the last week belng of equal magnitude as that of the first; this drawing power was as steady as the flow of water over Niagara. and would have been remarkable had_ the offerings been held for full weeks. Such was not the case. however; the bill was changed entirely twice a. week and in doing this Billy King has set a record as a producing performer that will stand a long time. Many who are -fa- millar with the theatrical conditions in Porkville insist that the King enzage- ment could have been prolonged twen- ty-six additional weeks without fear of failure. The Lafayette Stock Companies have reproduced many of the best of Broad- war's biggest dramatic hits and have had such a vast amount of success along thot lino that they have become _—[V—_$___———— ov Poth cce tk ee time, natn pas the Movies = THE PHOENIX eee arent sen Semana CF BORG Serena. when he arranged the bill for the pres- ent week] and all of the features did well.

This is without a doubt the best quartette in vaudeville and the harmony which they dispense is of the kind that delights lovers of real vocal music. The work of the four would not be complete without Bass Turner's rendition of the famous old song, "Old Black Joe," and he certainly put it over in improved style. They remain here for the full week.

THE NEW YORK TIMES Tony Langston in a pleasing manner. They were followed by Julian Hull, who did a variety of things, including some snappy talk, a little soft shoe dancing, some character impersonations, a little singing, a sad piece on the saxophone and a fine demonstration of ability on the slide trombone. Lulu Sutton & Co. presented a laughable sketch called "Her First Case" in clever style, the remaining act being the Fe-Maill Ciecks, introducing an Offay working under cork; a Slassy character that was clever enough to have the house by the ears, and seven classy girls who sang and danced well and looked good in everything had on and off. This was the best bill book in moons and there were over 4,000 people in attendance during the evening that went home satisfied. Minstrel Morris was the first on the last half of last week and his novelty was well received; in fact, his juggling and rapid fire talk was a distinct hit and proved to be one of the most pleasing of all the acts of its kind ever seen here. Following him came Fitzgerald and Lorez in songs and imitations: McNellis and Reyes in a skit called "The Wanting Honeymoon," which did well: Buster & Bailey, who continued very popular, and Max York and his Pupils, which were a half dozen educated Fox Terriers. THE MONOGRAM A branded new act, direct from the land of cotton, is making good here this week. It is the team of McCennon & McClennon, whose offerings include a clever line of singing, dancing and talking. They create a line impression and will no doubt become very popular all over the Consolidated Time. Ann St. Clair, the popular comedienne, is repealing her success of former visits and has new features to offer that pleases greatly, and the Versatile Four, which is too well and favorably known to need special comment, rounds out one of the best balanced bills seen here in a long time. TABOR & GREEN Tabor & Green, which team opens at the Grand on Monday, New Year's day for a full week's run, brings with them the reputation of being one of the best acts in vaudeville. They have lately covered the best circuits in America and are at present finishing a great week at one of the large loop theaters. One of the peculiar features of this engagement is the fact that Tabor of the team is the very first performer that ever faced an audience at this theater on its opening night over six years ago. At that time he was doing a single. In the years following he and his present partner have made progress in a manner considered less little short of remarkable, and the team name is one that never fails to get mention when a discussion of the better acts of the Race arises. Brand-new comedy and original song numbers are Tabor & Green's principal stock in trade, and when the fact is mentioned that they stopped the bill at McVickers at every performance on Christmas day and the days following, it is plain that they know just exactly how to put over what they've got. It is expected that the Grand will be taxed to capacity during this engagement. THE UNBORN THE UNBORN --- "Knowledge Is Power: Safeguard Your Little Ones." This was the caption that covered the entire canopy of one of the largest theaters in America during the long run of the great birth-control feature, "The Unborn," which is just finishing a ten weeks' record-breaking run at a large loop theater and which comes to the States theater for a run of four days, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, December 30th and 31st and January 1st and 2nd. It is proclaimed for this picture that it is the most sensational of all the problem-productions and the lesson taught by it far and away the strongest of any offered by films of this class. It shows the temptations that beset the innocent; it shows the unhappy homes where children are not welcome, along with the usual consequences and the terrible ending. In fact, it is the real birth-control picture at last, and though it was passed by the board of censors it was passed on a pink permit and as a consequence there will positively be no one under 21 years of age admitted. One of the peculiar things in connection with this feature was the fact that for the first week of its recent long run above mentioned the attendance was restricted entirely to the women folks; the attendance was so strong that the management announced, at the request of thousands of Chicago's leading women, that this rule would be continued for the second week. During the first week there were 30,000 women and the second week as many more who took advantage of this opportunity to see first this sensation of the century, while it is estimated that there were at least 50,000 turned away for lack of seating accommodations. No man was allowed to see this picture during the first two weeks of its showing in Chicago. "The Unborn" is the greatest film success that has ever reached Chicago. It is the talk of the town—the topic in every home. It is a picture that every normal man and woman should see. Teachers, and all men and women interested in social, religious and educational work should see it. The story contained in it is amazing, startling and sensational. Here is what Rev. W. B. Henderson had to say in reference to it: "I have seen 'The Unborn.' I know no means by which the great lesson it teaches could be so well presented. It is a forceful sermon. The sad stories I hear in my ministry make me realize how much the city needs such pictures. I wish everyone could see it." The above sentiment covers what has been said by many of the ministers who have reviewed this feature. The theory of the story can be gleaned from a few statements taken from the Tribune: "Doctor's office raided by the police. Evidence unearthed showing wholesale criminal practice: more than 1,500 names of women patients discovered."—Sept. 26. "Takes poison. Suffering from collapse after being arrested, charged with performing abortion. Dr. —— was taken to St. Luke's hospital by detectives. When arrested he had his medicine case and was in the company of a woman.—Oct. 15th. "Abortion death certificate is forged. The woman in the case was a victim of an illegal operation instead of typhoid fever. Just who performed the operation is not known."—Oct. 18th. This picture is a sermon on a cruel injustice to women—in which women alone pay the penalty. Shall this nefarious practice continue and shall motherhood be outraged? THINK. See then the gigantic sermon delivered with sledge-hammer blows in this most amazing, most startling and most sensational picture ever passed by the Chicago censors. Owing to the enormous cost of the booking on this feature the . WAR BRIDES! SCREEN'S MODERN TRIUMPH! TWO DAYS!

The word: Pensacola, Dec. 18, 1916. Dear Friend Tony:—Well, Bub, I promised you last August that I would write to you so here goes. I am writing more out of sympathy than anything else, however. I really and truly feel sorry for you fellows around the Windy City on account of the strong winds (pronounced wines) that blow in on you from the old lake, while I am basking in the perfume-laden and sunkissed zephyrs (don't know whether I spelled that one right or not; think I should have spelled it "zeffers") of Florida; smoking Pledmont cigarettes and reading the Defender, which is delivered to my door every Saturday. I still read your "Answer" column and enjoy every line of them. I have had a good season and will enlarge my company for the coming season, which will open on or about February 17th. If there are any good acts around Chi have them write me. Give my regards to my old friend Syl-a-de-vest Rus-sell. Let me hear from you through the columns of the World's Greatest Weekly or by letter, either (pronounced eyethur). Will send add soon. Yes, I'll now admit that the Defender has the largest circulation; just found it out since I've been down here. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain. The writer of the above is one of the finest extempo-comedians that it has ever been my hard luck to meet and was the man who pulled this one: "Clarence, what have you been eating to give you all of that hay-window you're carrying around with you?" "Army food. You see, it always goes to the front." SPLENDID MUSIC HEARD Tuskegee Institute, Dec. 29.—The annual Christmas program was rendered here Christmas day. The music was the best in the history. Miss Alice Simmons, head of the instrumental department, was highly pleased with the program. A number of her pupils took part on the program. The instrumental numbers especially were fine. Dr. Moton took occasion to state that it was very good. WAR B SCREEN'S MODE THE CELEBRATED STAR NAZIMOVA!

It is the most wonderful film production I have ever seen." EIGHT GREAT REELS OF SENSATION, SMILES, TEARS AND HEART THROBS; TENSE MOMENTS AND POWERFUL CLIMAXES! GREATEST EMOTIONAL ACTRESS THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN! THE MOST DRAMATIC CONCLUSION EVER SEEN ON THE SCREEN COMI TWO DAYS! MATINEES at the BICKFORD A JOY SPREADER It's when Christmas comes rolling around with its joys and sorrows, smiles and tears, with wealth displayed on the one side and its poverty on the other, that the heart of the fellow with the feeling of brotherly love and with the purse that enables him to do so, gets busy making every one with whom he comes in contact happy. There are many men of this kind who delight in making the burden of this old life light for their fellow beings. They do not do these things for the sake of notoriety or effect; it is just a display of magnanimity acquired by close association with humanity. Such a "Good Fellow" as this is U. J. Herrmann, part owner and acting manager of the Cort theater; he is affectionately called "Sport" Herrmann by his legion of friends, and he has all the qualities that would justify the term. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas Mr. Herrmann distributes turkeys among the employees of the theater—not little blue birds from the mysterious precincts of some cold storage warehouse, but great, big, healthy gobblers fit for the exact investigation of an epilogue. There are many of our people employed at the Cort as ladies maids, checkroom girls, usherettes, cleaners, porters, etc., and when the distribution takes place no one gets any more consideration than they do. Last Saturday night after the show of Christmas tree celebration was held on the stage. Music was furnished by Sam Arnold and his Pekin Quintette, the members of the Fair and Warmer Co. which is playing a record breaking engagement at the house being the guest of honor.

At stage of the Johnson show class which might be expected of anrant to the lightweight title. Before Sam Dixon, who officiated as the party in the ring, very properly Johnson came all the way from New York to take his beating, and he didn't make a good contest of it, in theion of competent ring critics who entered his corner at the opening the first round, but the spectators believed that Cana was about to are the same fate that one of the obvious contestants got; however he only stepped away from the ring, and he turned round with a right smash on the nose. Johnson seemed off form and showed it little of the class he displayed in previous bouts here. Judging from his hitition, Leo has either gone back a rest, or was clearly out of condition. It was not a good bout, because Johnson would not make it good, he did a lot of fancy feinting and unnecessary faneling that had the appearance of POLLARD BANQUET Player Absent When te, but Affair On saturday even- the banquet blame, how- committed depart to to control in they o'clock, ved the seen able he.

Pollard, 1823 Lunt Avenue, Chicago, Illinois—Mary Dear Mrs. Pollard: This is simply to say that I am most sorry if your son found it necessary to come home at this time. He is a little man, in whom we have great confidence, but he had been absent many times from classes during the last week and indeed circumstances we could not find him in absence. He, therefore, did just the right thing in obeying the rules of the college and returning to his work. I was in any way disqualified from being faithful to his obligations here. "It was hard for any boy to receive so much praise as he has received with hope is that he will continue to be the same quiet, earnest, hard-working boy that he has been. If he will do this we will stand by him in every possible way and be content and entered on the service of the people. His temptations are many, but I trust and believe he will have strength to resist them all and be worthy of the hopes you have set upon him. "Sincerely yours, M. J. W. FALEGE." BETTER EVI grandstanding to the audience, and fell into frequent clinches to avoid punishment. Gans put up a rattling good fight. He lost to three three rounds and then stepped to the side to defend Johnson all the way. Gans was as good a proverbial leech and refused time and again to be feinted out of position, to be forced to jab with his left at all, merely to be close and swing with both gloves, or with right. Gans went down three times, but of them were real facedowns. His style of moving with his right hand extended, Johnson, who was unable to hit the Net, was born boy with any degree of consistency. Johnson made it a weak effort at including, and failed to accomplish much success, holding with one hand and hitting with the other, wasted very little and boxed very chick. VANDALS SMOTHER THE PHILADELPHIA WHITE CHAMPIONS CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 29 — The Spartanburg college (white) champions of Philadelphia dull the for the Vandals cageline at Pittsburgh's last Friday night. The Vandals trimmed them to the time of 70 to 9 — so bad that, although all the Philadelphia dullies accustomed to the game, the results of the game were either the local or Philadelphia dullies. It is useless to comment on the form and speed displayed by the local boys. The score does that. With one or two accesions the only time the visitors had the bait was when the Vandals committed a foul. The score itself. Vandals..... Field. Font. Total.

He placed his blows well and outgenerated Johson at about everything the latter undertook. When it is understood that the last time these two met Gauger suffered a serious injury by the kick of the other, he deserves much credit for the manner in which he carried the fight to Johnson and refused to be intimidated by the latter's effort to instill fear by his grandmother, tacetes, and doing mugglephines in the fight. In the send-wiup Jack Mitchell of Indianapolis stopped Kid Aceoy of New Orleans in less than thirty seconds. The left-hand swing which Mitchell landed immediately after the ball sounded to flush the law and put him down for a doof and doof count. The bout lasted 25 seconds, including Referee Dixon's count. Bobby Dooks did a scientific high in his bout with Kid Yellow. Dooks could assist the stuff Yellow handed out. Alligator Kid won the battle royal. There are a number of good boys in the lightweight division stalling around the country who are able to hold their own with the best white boys if given a little gold. There is an opportunity for a little gold to win for a good promoter with an eye to business who will take hold of them and secure desirable matches before reputable white clubs which are able to offer good purses. Lee Johnson, Young Guns, Leo Patterson, Young George Dikon and other non-mutchers; they have the class, and they are willing to bring them to the attention of the light fans of the country. Guns, I believe, claims a one-time draw with Johnny Kibane. ALL-AMERICANS DEFEATED By: Liveden, McQuinn Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, H. I., Dec. 29.—The Wreckers (the nickname of the Twenty-fifth Infantry baseball team) defeated the visiting All-Americans (white) just at the time when the boys had an idea that victory was theirs. In the first inning the All-Americans got over three on the 25th, but this only served to stir up the boys to immediate action, especially Johnson, Goliah, Smith Hawkins, the last half of the ninth, the last half of the end, as usual, Star Rogan hold them there with that mesmeric smile of his, which is known to bring home victory. From then on the 25th let them have it good and hard. The game ended up 4 to 2, and the same as the All-Americans were on quiet as tired mice, so unexpectedly had they been "cleaned up." The 25th expects to meet them again soon for another hard battle and we hope that the team will be able to provide a prevailing idea in Hawaii that the 25th team will proceed to the mail and some time in March, 1917.

ORCHARDS MAY BE PRUNED IN WINTER Fruit growers do not need to wait until pruning prune their orchards, says W. G. Brierley, a horticulture at University Farm. Results at University farm show little or no difference in the growth and maturity of the wood where pruning has been on any time between November and May. If the usual care is taken to make the cuts close to the main trunk or neck, the cuts will be left to dea- cay, though the covering of wounds with a white lead and oil paint or corm- mon grafting wax warmed to the don- dor of cold molasses will give good protection.

Pollard Given Place on 'The All-American' Pollard, on the other hand, was a clean player, never once resorting to any underhand tricks of the game. Knowing that in all games he was a marked player, he was a coach, and that he was also the object of thousands of eyes from the stands.

GIANTS Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, Dec. 29—The Wreckers, the crack baseball team of the Twenty-fifth infantry, will invade the United States, playing all comers. They will probably reach the shores of this country in March, and it is their hope that they will cross bate with the American Giants of Chicago. In the line-up of the wreckers are Lieut.

POLLARD LEAVES FOR EAST Fred Pollard, Brown University football star and All-American half-back, will be at 0:45 Wednesday over the R. & O. College Baltimore he will go to Washington, thence to Providence, R. L, to resume his studies. Railroad Rumblings By John R. Winston Continued from first page enough courage to go around Moseley, one of Camp's choices for the All-American ends for a long run and finally wigglig his way over the line for the first touchdown to be made by the first touchdown to be made. Then in all his greatness, 3000 whites stood up and cheered him in unison. Again in the Harvard game he was taken out to save himself during the remaining few minutes of play. The Crimson stands roared with acknowledgment of this one man's prowess and knowledge of the gridron game. **Stands Out Alone** Pollard stands out alone in history. No other player has been hailed from the north to the south as the conqueror of two of America's greatest universities. Drew had his day. Mathews, Marshall, Young, Leslie Pollard, Bill Lewis, Bullock, Ranson. Wheeler and hundreds of others, all good players, none of our brys, none of our guys, have ever gained the honor, the prominence, the single-handed glory as Fred Pollard. And with all this he is a quit, unassuming lad, one whom you would never take to be able to toss it for football. His little, works hard with his books to teach his children, to teach his father and mother, his family his race a long wanted honor. He followed in the footsteps of Luther Pollar, who captained Lake View High Leslie Pollar, who starred at Durham and went one better than ALL THE REST. He is the greatest. Below we quote some of Mr. Camp's article which will appear in Collier's Weekly Dec. 30. The season there are certain marked devotion to the game. Last year the run from kick formation came to its own and proved the strongest feature of the attack. In several cases this year it was shown, however, the formation must have connected with it the threat of the forward pass and the kick. "The most marked feature of this season's development was the various methods of thinning out the defensive line of thinking out the secondary defense back, by the thrush and kicking from close formation, and at the same time by formations and shifts in the back field, compelling the men playing on the forward line of defense, separate farther from each other and making fighting and plunging plays more effective. Picks Harley and Rollard "And behind this line," No one who did not see the Colgate-Brown game appeciates the wonderful work Pollard did in that game in stopping man after man who broke through clean. When Colgate got around the Brown ends it to a battle. And who bought the runner to a斗马. And who bought a man whose natural instinct seemed to tell him where the play was coming, and who was ever present in the emergency. Oliphant is another star on defense, built for the job, old and experienced. It is also a member of this back field is also quick and forward passes, a great element in today's protective game. With Pollard and Oliphant, one would hardly be unuly anxious over secondary defense, even without Harley and Anderson. But Pollard and Oliphant and the other to aid him, making long dangerous, as shown by the running. "Pollard of Brown was the most elusive back of the year, or of any year he is a good sprinter, and once loose he is able to out-wind the-wisp that no one can wipe his hands down, and is hard and resilient as an indian rubber ball; but so often his offensive work, on account of its very brilliance, observed his really sterling defense. In the back field he could alight on the ball, and spot where the runner would come, whether through the line or around the end, and his tackling was deadly." GRADE ROOT CROPS ON TIMBER FARMS To meet the feed situation in northern Minnesota by 1 a.m., the assistant of the Northeast Experiment Station at Duluth, suggests the grading of rutabagas, the feeding of the tops and poor grades to stock, and the marketing of the tops, if possible, not until late in the winter when the market usually advances. This suggestion is made in answer to the question especially pertinent to this year whether to feed roots or grain. One pound of grain is usually regarded as from our to nine pounds of roots. From our to nine pounds ever, Mr. Thompson says, ignores the succulence of the roots so essential to the health and productivity of animals. Likewise, in the northern Minnesota situation, it leaves out of consideration the cost of exchange. That is, of hauling the grain back. Moreover, the yield of rutabegas last fall flipped from two to four tons. Thereafter, even with ruthabats at from $17 to $25 a tol. Mr. Thompson feels that the plan should be considered. 'As a general result of the year's work Stands Out Alone Jesse Jam 2514 Eighth St Greatest of all FF DR/AUGHTS PLAY vious to meet Atlantic City, N. J. Dec. 22.—The largest crowd of the present basket ball season witnessed the Vandals vanquish the most formidable quintet from Philadelphia, the Quaker Reserves, to the tune of 54 to 14. The game was marred by continual fouling by the Quaker Reserves. There was no loophole for kicks, as they brought their own referee down from Philadelphia. The crowd was unicase because the Vandals only secured two field goals in the first half. Even Bill Howard was off in his foul shooting, securing 12 out of 22 chances. Even at that the half ended 20 to 6 in Vandals.

HOME-MADE BREAD BEST Home-made bread, if well made, is to be prepared over bakers' bread, according to Miss Addie D. Root of the Missouri College of Agriculture. The consortium of the university is more important than the kind of yeast. If yeast is allowed to stand in a dusty place or is put into an unsterilized vessel, it will collect bacteria and only become sour, unpleasant taste. All utensils and liquids should be scalded before using. Yeasts are small plants which need air. Flour, therefore, should be added only to the bottom of the dough, enough to inundate air. Sugar is for the yeast plant and if given to it will hasten its growth. If dough is too stiff, a harsh, crumbly bread results. The least amount of flour poses a sticky dough gives the best bread. The quick even atroke in kneading counts for more than the strength put into it. A thorough kneading distributes the dough evenly and results in bread of the best texture, as the gas bubbles rise evenly. Dough should be kneaded until it has a smooth, velvety surface. If kneaded too hard, a plastic quality is completely destroyed. Yeast plants thrive at a temperature of from 79 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit. They are placed in a clean bowl. If the bowl is covered tightly and an even temperature maintained, it is not necessary either to cover the bowl or crust from forming. If the temperature is too high the bread will be dark, coarse and sour. If the dough is chilled while the bread is being formed, the texture rubbery and an undesirable crust will form. Best results are obtained when dough is kept, at a gentle, warm, and moist temperature. It is twice the bulk, and then worked.* Daking requires as much care as mixing, knending and rising. The temperature of Fahrenheit when the bread is placed in it. It should be allowed to rise after 15 minutes and lowered after 30 minutes. The bread should be lowered in the patch before it is fired. It should and have an even brown surfaces after: 30 minutes. If the dough is not the original bulk or as light as desired, it should be allowed to finish rising in the oven.

How About This?—For nearly three years I worked as maid for one of the leading families of Athens. There were seven in the family, and it was like rolling an eye tooth to get as much as 7.75 per week for my services. They were always entertaining and would keep me busy from morning until night. I was inspected every morning, and unless the perfection of tidiness I was reprimanded. At times it would be deated as 8 o'clock at night when I left their home, and they never gave me as much as a handkerchief the entire time I was with them. My rent was 75 cents per week and I carried two sick and accident policies, besides church dues and other little things, to say nothing of my clothes and shoes. I had a brother who helped me for a while. I asked them for more money and they refused, saying that was all any of the rest of the people paid in Athens. THE MAN WHO KNOWS: WHO CAN: W.

MAJORB, Chicago, Ill." HAVE LETTERS of FRIENDSHIP YOU: LOVE BUSINESS ESSAYS PAPERS ADDRESSES SPEECHES SERMONS EDITORIALS TOASTS POEMS maintenance and for milk production. Such feeding will maintain practically a uniform weight. Roughness is the first important consideration in feeding cows. A cow is not contented unless her stomach is full. She should always have all the roughness that she will clean up and then the amount of grain she receives should be regulated by the amount of milk produced. A dry cow in good condition should be fed roughness only, and does not need any grain. In feeding grain to milk producing cows the following rule may be used, and is found to work fairly well: Feed 1 pound of grain for each 2 pounds or pints of milk produced. A Jersey cow producing very rich milk may need a little more grain than the amount given. FARMERS WILL STUDY Providing for thirty-one different subjects directly related to farming, winter courses in agriculture to be opened by the College of Agriculture at the Ohio State university, Columbus, on Jan. 2 for farm men and boys, will deal with problems confronting Ohio farmers in producing grain, live stock and dairy products economically. Because there will be an unusual demand for live stock and even foodstuffs when the war closes, the farmers who give attention to the economical production of products now will reap greater profits later, it is Palmed. Farmers point out that even though farm products are selling higher, greater attention must be given to more economical production of farm products to make as much money as when prices were normal. The high cost of production rises even faster than the cost of living. Bulletins received by local farmers show that the winter courses will deal particularly with problems in poultry raising, dairy farming, live stock farms, horticulture, vegetable gardening, farm crops, veterinary medicine, etc. Since a quart of milk has a food value equal to three-fourths pound of beef skew or eight eggs, dairy products will figure more prominently as a food for everyone, it is cialled. The demand for more economical production of dairy products is shown by the fact that there has been an increase of 700 per cent in cow test associations in Ohio during the past year. Winter courses in dairying at the college of agriculture will also train men to become testers for associations as well as show how dairy products can be manufactured on the farm. Mrs. Kathryn H. George and Mr. M. C. B. Mason, winners of the two diamond prizes in the seventh annual essay contest given at Bethel Church, will be heard at t. Mark's M. E. church, 56th and Wahsh avenue.

A. auto school, made a tour during the holidays to South Bend, Ind., accompanied by his wife, young sister--in-law, Miss Synada Edwards, Mrs. Nannie Mitchem and Maynard Jackson. He left Friday a week ago and returned Tuesday. While there he eg. established a Deleander agency. The Norse Yrömma, which frequently reflects the attitude of the lussian government, takes the view that the peace note was sent at the wrong time, and deserves a courteous negative reply. While the foreign office has the pen issues under consideration, the war office is going ahead with plans for a more aggressive prosecution of the war on all the fronts on which Russian soldiers are fighting. The body of Mr. Alfred Smith, who died Dec. 15, was shipped to his home in Jacksonville for burial. Rev. H. H. De Witt affiliated. Mr. Smith was buried in East cemetery. Floral offerings were many and beautiful. MISS L. HUNTER ENTERTAINED Mrs. Tolbert entertained at dinner on Christmas in honor of Miss Lizzle Hunter of Nashville, Tenn. Each guest was remembered with a gift. Those present were Miss Lizzle Hunter, T. J. Hunter, Mrs. A. Baker of Bloomington, Mrs. M. L. Boone, N. H. Hornchy and Attorney Gilliam.

Among the enlightened nations of earth, the United States leads in freeing slayers, in striking contrast to Anglo-Saxon countries not under the Stars and Stripes, these other countries having the smallest percentage of murders and felonies.

The white American can do more protecting and make more noise over something that doesn't concern him, like, for instance, the treatment Jews receive the hands of the Russians, or the Armenians at the hands of the Turks, than any other nation on earth.

We t NEVER B there is educational leve school for night. The work se it! problem of mastering music or art technique is attained only through hard drill and drudgery. After technique is gained individuality, if there is any, will express itself in rich harmonies of sounds and colors—but not before. Not entirely, but to a very large extent, education in our schools is obtained from the textbooks, so the schools, above anything else, should take the precaution to teach the boys and girls the most intelligent use of their books, how to get there from the best they contain and how to make the best use of it. Most children find it necessary to bring their books home each night and prepare their lessons for the mowrow. It is the duty of the parents to encourage this practice and assist the teacher as far as possible in her work. Many parents fail to do this, but the failure is seldom due to indifference or disinclination, particularly in families where there are several children. The father comes home farged from the toil of a graffling day. The mother has a multitude of duties to perform, some of which extend into the evening. Social matters, to some extent, engross the attention of both parents. Into the school room has created many newfangled things that have proven utterly worthless, and during the experimental stage students have wasted much valuable time. The introduction of vocational training has wrought wonders. Now the boy and girl on leaving school can go out into the world prepared to use both hands and brain, and a market is immediately found for their talents. Theory without practice makes "educated tools"; our youth is only with us once. If we do not make hay while the sun shines, the clouds will surely gather as we grow older. TO THE THOUSANDS OF READERS of this paper we wish to express our thanks for the encouragement and loyal support given us the past year, the year before that, and all preceding years. Had it not been for you the Chicago Defender, instead of being the best, largest and most widely circulated paper devoted to the interests of our people in the world, would have come and gone in a few weeks or months as many others have done, and it's name would scarcely be remembered now. We started in a modest and unassuming way, but with a definite purpose, and that purpose was to champion the cause of people maligned and oppressed almost beyond endurance. That we have not failed in our mission is attested by the marvelous growth of the paper, by hundreds of congratulatory letters received, and by the favorable comment in the leading periodicals in this country. Never before have we had a paper fearless enough to say black was black, or white was white, if it was. Never before has the bright side of the dark picture been presented so ably to the reading public, and with it all we have kept on (kirts clean from what is termed "yellow journalism." The New Year will bring to the readers of the Chicago Defender many it pretesting and helpful things. New departments from time to time will be added. Writers of prominence will contribute articles on current topics, ambitions show- sory writers will be given an opportunity to present their creations to the public. In short, we will attempt, with your assistance, to make it the last word in newspaperdom. Our success or failure depends in a great measure upon the kindly suggestions and loyal support you give us. The Chicago Defender is YOUR paper. If you find something in it that pleases you, write and tell US. If you find something that displeases you, send your objections by special delivery, at we are as anxious to know our faults as we are to know our virtues. We freely copied indebted to you for past favors and hope to be more indebted to you in the future.

ITS LONG, LONG WAYS from Alabama to Michigan. Likewise here is quite little difference between picking cotton with the thermometer sizzling around hundred, and shooring snow with the thermometer hugging the zero mark. They are both "light" occupations as far as color is concerned but the brother down-home has been used to the sun smiling on him old gentle magnolia-fixed breezes cooling his fevered brow. But he is a good fixer and is on skating terms already with Jack Krost and by the time another winter sets him will be as barkigned as an old resident. One of US was at the North Polo Field Commodore Deary, and one of us will be found doing whatever anyone else does. You can't lose us. So a little change from the land of cotton to the land of ice and snow is a mere trifle. MORE LICENSES have been taken out in Pike county, Alabama, for dogs than licenses to vote through the payment of poll taxes. Birt Willard the comedian, has a song entitled, "I may be crazy but Iaint no fool." Perhaps that is the way it is figured out in Alabama. The man who buys a license for his dog has the satisfaction at least of giving his dog some privileges, when if he paid poll taxes the odds would be a hundred to one against his voting away. Black doesn't always, signify ignorance.

Josephine Reeter Sims. Little Rock, Ark. WITH all due respect to Mr. H. R. Woolston's intelligence and his tireless work in sociological research, I am not willing to concede to his statement that the "French - Canadians, Austrians, southern Italians and Negroes (of which later race I am a respected member), rank last in class as human beings, not withstanding the fact that having been an unpressed and subjected people, our progress in learning or grasping intelligence, our ability to compete with, our efficiency, our moral and physical self-control, our power to gain and hold, and our general workmanship is as comprehensive as any race or nation that has survived the stigma of bondage, humiliation and servitude. Mr. Woolston, however good may be his intentions and desires to do justice, is doing us a great injustice by so lowering our class efficiency. When our ambitions have been so bawled up by his race that only the fittest and most persevering were able to survive and show to the more fortunate races that our child desire was an equal opportunity to work and earn our merits. It is my unprejudiced opinion, judging from the apparent interposition I conceive from his statutes, that he is not able to judge they various races integrity from one individual. Cliability to cope with the white man's weakness has caused a bewildered intermining and contamination of our race and the result is that the real Negro is aland an unknown quantity (to use an eobaric expression as a comparison.) The white man pure Caucasian race isust as tortuily mixed eating purity on the Celtics or the ancient and pu Caucasian as is our race. It is our pability and inability to compete with thwwhite man that causes him to fear andate us. These qualities us force him to subdue us and try to make us feel inferior to him. Our RE has produced for our undeniable approval soldiers, teachers, lecturers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, and other bleworthy vocational orders, that no marrage lesson has caused, integrity or acceiency.
