TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 6. I --- MAKES A DAINTY. COSTUME | PLEA FOR. THE GROWING GIRL [Emblem of the United States Army] TWENTY-EIGHT Feathers HERE is a growing sentiment against wearing the plumage of birds, in varieties where cruelty must be practised to secure it. Women are learning to discriminate in this matter and to forego the wearing of plumage that promises to bring about the extinction of a species of beautiful wild birds or to inflict torture. A proud crest of dainty feathers torn from the back of a mother bird and the death of a nest full of fledglings by slow starvation, are not pleasant suggestions to flaunt with the group of sweeping aldegges upon the head of beauty. For the wearer must be either uninformed, or indifferent, or unmindful of cruelty. None of the excuses, will pass muster with intelligent people. Aside from a very few sorts, the feathers we have worn recently and those we will wear, are made from the plumage of domestic or other edible birds. No cruelty is practised in securing them and thousands of people make a living by manufacturing the millinery trimmings made of them. Feather bands, sewed wings, pompons, breasts and mounted sprays— Design That Would Look Well in a Gray Zephyr, Spotted With Blue. Gray zephyr spotted with blue would look pretty carried out in our design. The skirt has a panel front; which is continued in a deep band at the foot, and has the upper part gathered; it is also gathered at the waist. A panel 1 to match is taken down back and front, the sleeves being cut in with the sides. Lawn, claudine cuffs and collar add a dainty finish. Hat of blue straw, trimmed with gray net and roses. Material required: Seven and one-half yards zephyr 30 inches wide. Easy Way to Clean Lace Yokes. If instead of taking lace yokes and cuffs out of dresses to wash when, soiled they are rubbed with dry starch, then brushed thoroughly, the lace will look like new. THE GAZETTE in fact, a world of airy and attractive decorations—are cleverly fashioned from the feathers of the turkey, chicken, pigeon, peacock and pheasant. These are bleached, dyed, eaten with acids, pieced and pasted until their origin is lost sight of. Other birds of bright plumage, such as the parrot, and birds like the blackbird and sparrow, of which there are myriads, are used, but they are not cruelly treated, unless sudden death is cruel. The wearing of a bird upon the hat may be in questionable taste and at present one sees almost no birds, but any amount of plumage. Gradually the wearing of feathers may die out, but the signs of the times do not point that way. More plumage is shown now than ever before. Women should learn to discriminate in choosing it, and select those feathers which they may wear with an easy conscience. They are obliged to inform themselves in some states of the Union or run the risk of forfeiting their forbidden property. For laws have been passed and are enforced to protect certain birds, and one may not own their plumage. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Problem of Maternal Management That Is-Worth Some Serious Consideration. So many older women seem to think that because a girl of from fourteen to twenty or so is likely to be cowl and sometimes forward and rather ridiculous in her pretentions of age and dignity she must be continually snubbed and "put down." They keep calling her "child" and laughing at her opinions and criticisms, and leaving her out of discussion and conversation, until some day they awake with a start to realize that the child is a woman, and a port and embittered woman at that. Of course, American girls are notorious for their unpleasant presumption, and there are many, many things which a girl in her teens is not competent to decide for herself, let alone for others; but there is no reason why a girl who, really is growing up should be made to feel that she is always in the way and must be patronized when she is noticed at all. Give her at least a chance to feel that she is one of the family and that she is a step above the children in the nursery, whom she is likely so to despise. Here, as elsewhere, "you will go go most safely in the middle," and this rather delicate problem of maternal management will settle itself if consideration and common sense are learned on one side and taught on the other.—Exchange. Short Skirts or Long? There can be no doubt that the really short skirt has thoroughly established itself this spring. Of course, for walking and all outdoor games it is a delightful and most sensible fashion, but there is some question as to its beauty and suitability where the dressy afternoon frock or evening toilet is concerned. For the quite young woman who is still in her teens, or has recently quilted them, the short frock looks girlish and pretty, and is, moreover, very practical and comfortable. But with the older woman it is quite a different matter. She looks simply ridiculous in these fashionable curtled skirts, and, far from giving her a girlish appearance, they add years to her apparent age. Garters for Short Socks Garters for short socks for the kiddies are being made of hat rubber instead of the wider and more conspicuous garter rubber or the untidy nothing at all. Usually it is white, though for pink or blue socks it can easily be painted the color desired. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1910. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND HISTORY ESTABL AND ISS CLEVELAND, HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK Latest News Told in Briefest and Best Form. PERSONAL Edwin Walker, dean of the Chicago bar and one of its foremost corporation lawyers, died at his summer home in Wequetonsing, MJch. He was special counsel for the United States in the conspiracy case against Eugene Debs in the railroad strike of 1891. Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, wife of the master of Standard Oil, is reported seriously ill. The Rockefeller family physician, said Mrs. Rockefeller had contracted a severe cold but did not just now regard her condition as approaching critical. Daniel Sheehan, an innocent man and a Civil war veteran, has served four months in the Alameda (Cal.) jail because he was charged with passing a forged check. A companion who committed the crime has confessed. The body of Frank T. Tucker, second assistant attorney general of Wisconsin, was taken from the river at Oskosh, Wis. That Mr. Tucker committed suicide while Insane, is the belief because of the circumstances surrounding the case. Mr. Tucker was a candidate on the Republican ticket for attorney general of Wisconsin. Lord Klnmorkock, second secretary in the British diplomatic service, was slightly wounded by the accidental discharge of a gun at King George's shooting party at Almoral. Glenn H. Curtiss, the aviator, flew from Euclid beach, near Cleveland, O., over the water of Lake Erie to Cedar Point, a distance of 60 miles, in 1.18. This is a new record for a flight over water. Fred Minor, eighteen years old, while driving near Ashtabula, O., was struck by a fast Lake Shore railroad train. He was caught on the pilot and crawled into the cab, where he was able to scare the engineer. Elmer Bryson of Alton, twenty years old, and Ray Holt, eighteen, of Panna, were drowned in the Mississippi river, near Alton, Ill., while swimming. John M. David R. Rockefeller, who several days ago contracted a severe cold, is declared not to be in a critical condition by her physician in Cleveland. Eddie Hearne of Chicago, winner of the Fox River trophy in the national stock chassis road races at Eglin, followed up that success by being the star on the motor speedway in Indianapolis, in which he not only won the 100-mile free-for-all from a rare field, but also retained possession of the Speedway Helmet, which is a challenge trophy and contested for in a ten-mile free-for-all. GENERAL NEWS. La Follette was renominated in the Wisconsin primary election for United States senator over S. C. Cook by a vote of 3' to 1. The Insurgents probably gain one Republican nominee for congress. County option was defeated by a tremendous plurality. It is practically a certainty that United States Senator Burrows was defeated for renomination at the Michigan Republican primaries by Congressman Charles E. Townsend of Jackson. Chase S. Osborn was nominated for governor by a large majority. Following a stormy session of the Illinois delegation to the national conservation congress at St. Paul the delegation adopted a resolution by a vote of 28 to 5 asking President Baker to name another member in place of Edward Hines, the Chicago humberman, as chairman of the committee on credentials' of the congress. The reason given was Hines' alleged connection with the election of Senator William Lorlmer. The Republicans won the state election in Vermont but the customary plurality of 30,000 is cut almost in half. The Democratic vote shows a substantial gain, while that of the Republicans has shrunk some twenty per cent. Rainy weather, the absence of local issues and absence of unanimity regarding the Republican candidate for governor are given as the causes. A paper by James J. Hill was read at the Portland (Ore.) fair and live stock exposition. "Conservation of the Soil" was the "empire builder's" theme and he urged increased food productivity, sounding a warning against letting the nation's food supply continue to fall below the demand. Prof. Frederick Augustus Geuth, Jr., formerly of the department of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, and a widely known poison export, died at Lansdowne, Pa. Henry Chapman, a New York numismatist, paid $340 for a 1-cent piece coined in 1753, setting a record price. Governor Harmon announced that he had ordered six additional companies of Ohio National Guard troops to Columbus to serve driving fair week. An officer of a German pioneer regiment was arrested at Portsmouth, Eng., while in the act of sketching the fortifications. --- President Tuff received a telegram on his train at Kendallville, Ind., telling of the desperate illness of Sofiétor General Lloyd W. Powers in Boston. Mr. Powers has been considered the probable choice for one of the vacant places on the Supreme court. "There is too much byzaina abroad in the country. Let your watchword be 'down with the demagogue and up with the patrol.' Thus spoiled Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice-president of the United States, to the survivors of the Mexican war, at their reunion at Indianapolis. At the opening of the trial of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen in London, who is charged with the murder of his wife, Belle Elhore, the prosecution announced that large quantities of poison had been found in the woman's body and that there were evidences that she had been subjected to an operation. Vice President Ellas Fernandez Albane, acting president of charity, since the death of President Monet, died suddenly from an attack of heart failure. The civil service commission at Columbus, O. has handed down its decision in the cases of 23 patrolmen who were disbanded for refusal to do certain duty and refuses to grant the martinhes the privilege of re-retirement. Mrs W. J. Delma and her three daughters Marte, aged eight, Ethel, aged three, and a baby, aged one were drowned in the Licking river, near Cincinnati. "Black Hand" representatives from New York city are accused of the murder of Arthur Royellmo and his six children in Pallahore, Italy. The Gosung Sektion of the Turnover in Germania of Los Angeles, Cal., was awarded the $100,000 gold cup given by Kulser Wilhelm of Germany for the host singing In the Pacific snuggerfest in San Francisco, which held its first festival for three days last week. The national convention of the Farmers' Education and Cooperative Union of America was opened at Charlotte, N.C. The California legislature met in special session to finance an international expedition to be held at San Francisco in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal. Two negroes were lynched, one fatally wounded and two escaped, after they had been discovered in a plot to murder the family of a planner near Athens, Ga., and rob and burn his house. Mayor Gaynor's committee has discovered that the average working-man's wage in New York city is $535 and that it costs $850 a year for a moderatesized family to live properly. Caught in an attempt to commit arson, murder and an attack, five negroes were lynched in an isolated part of Clarke county, Georgia, by infiltrated neighbors of the family against whom the negroes had plotted. Charles Frohman, who heretofore has opposed the Sunday theater, is now working for a modification of the New York law which will permit plays on that day with a sound moral lesson. Pursued by his two sisters, with whom he had quarreled, Charles Young, a silversmith, raced to the roof of a New York five-story tenement and jumped in the street in sight of 500 persons. He was killed. As the result of the discovery of nine cases of diphtheria at South Haven, Mich., every public meeting place has been ordered closed and the health board has issued an order forbidding the opening of the schools. One death has occurred. Engineer Frank Stewart of the west-bound Colorado Midland train No. 3, killed an unidentified bandit with a rock when he attempted to hold up and rob the train four miles west of Divide, Col. Stewart was shot in the leg by the would-be robber. Two young men giving the names of Charles and Sterling Martin were discovered near the scene of the attempted hold up and were taken in custody. Dynamiters blew up and completely foilished the Lacus Bridge and iron company's immense plant in Poorla, Ill. Night Watchman Robert Gobhardt was seriously injured. The company runs a nomadian shop. Masked men sprang out of the bushes alongside a lonely lane, near Hudson, N.Y., and shot and killed Dent Fowler, paymaster of the Atlas Brick company, and his negro driver, and made off with a chest of pay envelopes containing $3,000. Glenn J. Curtiss established a new world's record for aeroplane flying, when he flew 60 miles along the shores of Lake Erie in one hour and nine minutes. President Taft has appointed Dr. Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale university, Frederick N. Judson of St. Paul, Frederick Strauss of New York, Walter L. Fisher of Chicago and Prof. B. H. Meyer of Madison, Wls., as a commission to investigate the question of bringing future issues of railroad securities under the supervision and control of the Interstate commerce commission. Fighting all the way, first with his team mate, Al Livingston, then for 155 miles with Harroun in his Marmor Wasp, until the Wasp broke a coupling in the sixty-eight lap, John Atkinson in a National car won the 200-mile race and $1,000 in the closing events of the season at the Indianapolis motor speedway. His time was 2:47:54.74. To the vengeance of the Black Hand society in New York is ascribed the revolting murder of o-Polecleman Rocolino, his wife and six children in the little village of Pellaro, which lies eight miles south of Reggio on the Strait of Messina. BERRY CROP IS SHORT AMERICAN "DREAM SHIP" WINS PRAISE IN ENGLAND [Coastal] LONDON.—The American schooner, yacht Westward, after many victories in continental waters, came to Cowes, the home of yachting, and completely captivated the British. One writer calls her the "American dream-ship," saying: "When her canvas was spread to the wind she was a thing of melody and poetry—a dream-ship as perfect in the beauty of line and form as, in another way, is the Venue de Mille. I think the Westward should have been called the White Knight, for she comes to us like a knight-errant. Across the Atlantic she came, not in fair weather, but with an ugly sea running and half a gale, blowing." The Westward is owned by Mr. Cochran of New York Cultivated Product and Bad- Seasons Reduce Supply Demand Also Increases Faster Than Supply—This Answer Applies Particularly to Strawberries —Culture Found Profitable. Hampor, Mr. Years ago during the summer season everybody in Bamor and eastern Maine had plenty of raspberries and blueberries at low prices. Now the berries are scarce and costly, and people are wondering why. There are undoubtedly many explanations and probably all of them would be true enough, but the real cause of it all is that the demand for berries has increased much faster than the supply. This answer applies in a general way to all berries but is particularly true of strawberries. The strawberry season is a long one, beginning early in the spring and lasting until nearly the first of August. This was not always the case, however, and the great length of season has been brought about by careful cultivation which has been made profitable by the ever-increasing demand for the product. Until recent years the wild or field strawberries were the only ones to be found in the market in large quantities, and even then the demand was not so large as to make it profitable to pick and prepare them for the market, and those who did the work were poorly paid for their labor. But the women who live in the berry district are workers and they were glad enough to do the work though the wage was small. The introduction of the large cultivated berries from other parts tempted the men of the families to try cultivated strawberries and to share with the women the labor and the profit. It was found to be profitable culture, both the demand and the supply increased and each year the selling price was better than that of the year before, showing that the demand was increasing faster than the supply. Thus it has been up to the present time so far as strawberries are concerned, but with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries conditions have been different. Blueberries have been cultivated without trouble—in fact the only trouble comes from the rapid spread of the bushes after they have once been planted, and those who have taken any pain with blackberry cultivation realize that they are even more profitable to raise than strawberries and just as easy to market. With raspberries and blueberries the natural supply of wild berries has been depended upon, and this changes from year to year, the demand being entirely dependent upon the supply and the price being made by the pickers. Raspberries have to be picked one at a time, and it is a smart picker who can pick twenty quarts per day, if the supply be large and the berries plentiful, and these, at an average price of from 12 to 15 cents, would give the picker from two to three dollars per day. But the supply of rasp- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. --- Cost of Learning to Fly Cost of Learning to Fly berries does not increase. It seems to decrease. Sheep are kept in the pastures where the berries used to grow, and that spoils the "patch". Then there are a few fires, and locally the supply has fallen off rapidly in the last few years. In the large raspberry fields the supply is large enough, but few people care to travel any great distance to obtain raspberries as they do blueberries, because of the work of pleking them, difficulty of transporting because of the perishable nature of the berries, and the fact of the season coming so close to that of the blueberries. HOBBLE SKIRT IS AMERICAN Reputable Makers of Paris Modes Shift Responsibility for Ridiculous Fashion. Paris Approves to an accident which happened to a fashionable Parisienne the hollow skirt has come in for a lot of indignant denunciation, all the more interesting in that an American is credited with the invention of that garment, and blamed for its introduction to Paris. This is, probably, the first time the old order of derivation has been reversed in Beginner May Achieve His Ambition for $1,000 to $5,000—Biplane Is Easier. London. Nowadays any ordinarily active man, on deciding to learn to fly, may achieve his ambition in less than a month's time, provided he is prepared to spend some money. If he is content to acquire the art of altramanship without actually opening an aeroplane of his own, it will cost him $1,000 or slightly more. Should he buy a machine his expenditure may be $2,500 to $5,000, according to the make and reputation of his aircraft. But the pronouncement of experts should be cited as regards the use of monoplanes and biplanes from the novice's point of view. They say, and experience certainly bears them out, that the beginner learns to fly more easily and more safely upon a biplane than upon a monoplane. The reason is that when a biplane begins to lose its balance in the air it heels over far more slowly than a monoplane, thereby giving the pilot more time to alter his levers and bring it again upon a level keel. The damage that can be done by a bad descent was 'indicated' rather quantitely by one airman of experience, who contends that "you can smash up a machine apparently quite badly, and yet the repair will not be more than $500. An awkward landing, causing the breaking of a skid or several wooden stays, will not cost more than $10 or $15." To a beginner who is not well acquainted with aeroplane motors the services of a special mechanic will regard to so important an article of feminine attire. The accident in question occurred when a young wom- an was alighting from a taxi-auto. She fell and broke a leg, and re- ceived distressing bruises on her head and face. A leading man dressmaker of Paris, on being interviewed on the hobble skirt as a dangerous evil, declares it was brought here by certain fair Americans, and that reputable makers of Paris modes have always opposed it. It is only worn, said he, by women who specially desire to make themselves remarked on the public streets. The hobble skirt has never been acclimated here in the upper social classes. Another grand contourer said the hobble skirt is now seen only in ready-made fashions, and never was adopted by the really elegant. This grotesque mode is soon to disappear, as in winter it becomes absurd impossible for women to manage gowns built in that manner. Farmer Finds $350 Pearl. Ridgley, Tenn.—John Chambliss, a farmer at Sandy Ford, took a day off and went mussel fishing. He found a Pearl weighing 22 grains which he has sold for $350. It is the third large one found near here since April. Britain's Rarest Stamp. London.—An unused copy of the Great Britain £25 stamp, orange on blu paper.

The salary of a reliabio man—one who thoroughly understands the delicate "tuning up" process necessary every now and then with aeroplanes—ranges from $15 to $25 a week. Two or three odd men are generally necessary at the commencement of each flight to assist in maneuvering the aeroplane. CURE FOR DEADLY DISEASE Discovery at Rockefeller Institute is Declared Beneficial in Infantile Paralysis. Philadelphia.—A discovery that may lead to a cure for infantile paralysis, a deadly disease of childhood believed to be epidemic at present, is announced by Drs. Simon Flexner and Paul A. Lewis of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York city. The announcement appears in the journal of the American Medical association. As a result of experiments on monkeys inoculated with the virus that causes infantile paralysis, a serum has been found that in some cases prevents the disease from developing and in others cures it soon after it appears. The investigators also have found it is possible to vaccinate monkeys with an "immune" serum which will prevent them contracting the disease. Infantile paralysis attacks all classes of children. If a victim does recover it almost invariably is deformed for life.

If President Taft appoints Associate Justice John M. Harlan, Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, he will make the most popular appointment of his administration, with the masses of Americans. He is entitled to it, too, because of his long service on the bench and because of his wonderful ability as a jurist. There is no class of Americans that will be so pleased, as a result of his appointment to the place, as our people." Justice Harlan and Senator Foraker occupy places in our hearts that no other Americans of any other class (race) hold. Theodore Roosevelt did notarry long in his remarks about the-martyr, John Brown, in his speech at Osawatomie, Kan., last week Wednesday. There is something in this man's history and his ideals which is not congenial to platinuminarians, *phrasemakers*, selfish politicians and demagogues of the Roosevelt type; and besides mention of the martyr, John Brown, brings up the memory of the "Brownsville" soldier-victims" discharge—something not at all pleasing to the self-adulatory "hero." And then the resolution to put John Brown's statue in the Government's Hall of Fame at Washington, D. C., to "offset the Lee statue," was rough on "Teddy," too. You know Roosevelt's mother was a native Georgian. In a recent letter to the editor of The Gazette relative to the defeat of his Civil Rights bill (when a member of the Legislature some years ago), which was unsatisfactory to our people of the state because it did not include barber shops, etc., the Hon. George H. Jackson of Cincinnati, writes: "My recollection is that your paper (The Gazette), at that time sounded a note of alarm against my bill because of the absence from it of the word "harborshops," and that opposition encouraged Green (John P.), (a member of the Assembly at the time), to oppose and help to defeat it." Our remembrance was and is that we had to "push" John to fight the bill, but we wanted other evidence of the fact, and here it is. No Afro-American legislator did or could do less of a material nature for our people than John P. Green did. It is simply astonishing, and contemptible, how the southern daily press encourages everything that is or can be done to Colored people, in and out of the country, that is calculated to lower them in the eyes of the world. It would, if it could, crush on cause to be crushed out every bit of our manhood, self and race respect, the world over. Have you noticed how it has encouraged the fight on President Mendozna of Panama because he is a Colored man, and how it has persistently endeavored to make it appear that the opposition to him was because of that fact, when as a matter of fact this is not true? Also how it "strains at a gnat" to make it appear in various other ways that the Negro is the cause of about every misfortune and trouble that it can tack on to him? Mighty small business for even dirty, prejudiced southerners to be in. President Taft's "new southern policy" has been at work in Tennesse see recently, with the result that Mr J. C. Napier, the only Afro-American member, "has been put off the State Republican Executive Committee" of Tennessee. Our readers will remember that it was at Greensboro, N. C. that Mr. Taft, when a candidate for the Presidency on the Republican ticket and just prior to that time, advised southern white Republicans to keep Afro-Americans out of their party organization and off their (Republican) tickets. It is rumored that the President intends to appoint Mr. Napier, Register of the Treasury, to succeed the Hon. W. T. Vernon, in return for his (Napier's) quietly submitting to the "proper" working of his (Taft's) outrageous (from a true Republican viewpoint) "new southern policy" in the state of Tennessee. And this is the kind of Afro-American, Dr. Booker T. Washington would foist on our race as leaders under himself as chief. And this line of action, on the part of Mr. Washington and his followers, is what is known as their pernicious "doctrine of surrender." A STRONG PLEA In a sermon on labor, Sunday, Rev Duncan C. Milner of the Ravenswood Presbyterian church of Chicago, said: "Union labor is one of the mightiest forces of today to uplift human society. From its ranks there have come to the front a long list of noble, unselfish men. It is claimed that union labor does not draw the color line, but there is room for improvement as to the treatment of the Negro by labor organizations. The black man is cut off from his vote in the south; he is discriminated against as to wages, and he is excluded from equal privileges in labor unions. There seems to be a widespread conspiracy, to force the Negro out of all work not merely menial. In the recent strike of railroad firemen in Georgia there was much shameful talk of a "white man's job" by organized labor unions. Every man who unites with a union connected with the American Federation of Labor says: "I promise never to discriminate against a fellow worker on account of color, creed or nationality." This is the right principle and should be maintained." In entering the foregoing at this time, Dr. Milner has set an example which every true and honest disciple of Jesus, every humanitarian, every good citizen of the Republic and every good union man should endorse and live up to, and we thank him for this fine exhibition of courage and fidelity. It is bound to help and do good. JOHN, THE "KNOCKER."

Within the past thirty days, three important gatherings were held, each bearing in greater or less degree upon what we have been taught to regard as the "face problem." The first met at Atlantic City, N. J., under the banner of "Equality" of Civil and Political Rights," the second congregated at New York City inspired by the slogan of "business, Disturbishment and Booker," and the third assembled here as a "Medical Congress of African American Physicians."

The fact that the rebel general, Robert E. Lee's stance is in the national hall of fame at Washington, D. C., shows to what extent loyalty and has waned in the north in recent years. It is shamed, to say the least. Kansas thinks, of putting John Brown's statue into the national hall of fame, where Virginia places the statue of Lee, who commanded the troops at the hanging of Brown.

Dr. Corothers: of Washington, D.C. last week, demonstrated the action of the National Negro Business League in its 1912 tour of the United States in 1912. He joined the action of the League to Bishop Clinton and Booker T. Washington, and said: "Any leader who places the privilege of placing his hand into the pocket of some rich man in the interest of a commercial enterprise above the civil and political interests of 40,000 citizens is a positive curse." Scott Bond made money in Arkansas but made an ass of himself in New York, at the National Negro Business League) when he referred to our mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters as *N* — women, men, and children — for wearing leather shoes, etc. An ignorant is not a fit subject to lecture to the women of our race and a great Negro organization like the Business League should not be a rendezvous for the defenders of our womanhood. We are proud to see our women weighed, pressed, and bruised, and we refer to them for bought for $3.50 to $6.00, thousands of our women can wear them and be well within reason, Mr. Bond's thousands of dollars will never give him the right to abuse our women.

The following is an 'editorial from last week's Martinsburg (W. N.) Pioneer Press, Attorney J. R. Clifford, editor: "Nobody need try to take credit from Editor Harry C. Smith for having been responsible for the passions and rights laws. Of course there have been laws and laws introduced in Ohio by white men and Negroes framed with the idea of benefiting the race, but the two laws that stand out preeminent regarding Negro rights are Smiths, and they are of hardly necessary to pay heed to those who style themselves censors of real race men, for they seem never happier than when knocking them, but persons who are at all familiar with Ohio law are well aware that Harry C. Smith, above all other men, possess of laws which are especially beneficial to Negroes than any other one agency. In addition to being a benefactor to the black race, Smith has also been one to the white race, because, under his anti-lynching law, and according to the Ohio statute, his family by lynching can also recover $2,000 indemnity from the county in which the lynching occurs." It may be that the Review will be handing out valuable information by calling the attention of its readers to the fact that there is located at Greenfield, Ohio, what is conceded to be the largest distinctively buggy and operated by Negroes in the world. The Review points with pride to the firm of C. R.

We have no apology to offer for this. Indeed, none is necessary, to intelligent people of good, sound sense, free from a baneful racial prejudice which our people can least怨 none but males have been employed in the Gazette office, three Afro-Americans and one white who, like all the others of his class, was, employed when we were unable to get competent ones of our own people to fill the places. So thus does poor, old, and sick men, who prove to be a deuce or two-spot.

Kissed and Bit Babies NEW YORK CITY.—Elizabeth McGuire, Irish, thirty-five years old, just can't please a baby with washing and biting it. This fondness for babies landed her in a police station cell, Tuesday. Lillian Smothers, left her baby, Ruby, on the sidewalk, alone a few minutes, Elizabeth came along, kissed the black baby and then bit its left arm, drawing blood. Mrs. Smothers came screening to Ruby's rescue and had Elizabeth arrested. "You will never be able to make her believe that he is a liar." "I wonder why?"

Father Demby will attend the general convention of the American church which will convene in Cincinnati. He has certainly done great work in Memphis, where he has built a beautiful brick church and a fine factory, and has a very nice fund for the building of a parochial school, for the best and the highest Christian, moral and esthetic training of the best boys and girls of the race. Father Demby is acknowledged as the Catholic-minded priest in the American church and the records show that he has done a great work in the church among our people. He says that much of his success in his work is due to his wife, who was one of Cleveland's first, young ladies when she became Mrs. Demby. Father Demby was royally entertained by the Greek Letter Club of Chicago at the Hotel Dumas, and it gave him and his wife an opportunity to see very much of what is important in that city. While in this city, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wills took them for a drive and entertained them at an elaborate luncheon. Mrs. DeFetel gave them a luncheon and Mr. and Mrs. St. John royally entertained them the few days they were here.

All regretted greatly that it was not possible for them to remain with us longer, owing to their plans, engagements, etc. Come again and often, Father and Mrs. Demby. Seldom is an advertised preparation underestimated, yet strange as it may seem, there is at least one remedy that we know of which is hardly given the credit due it. This remedy is Ford's Hair Pomade, a preparation that has been on the market for over fifty years and during that time has, without a doubt, been the means of helping our people more than any other remedy in this line. Ford's Hair Pomade, manufactured by the Ozonized Ox Marrow Cb., of Chicago, III, is a preparation that will make harsh, kinky hair softer and more pliable, easy to comb and put up in any style that the length will permit. No lady can afford to be without it, especially if her hair is harsh and unruly. No one need be afraid to buy this old time tried remedy for kinky, harsh, short and curly hair, for, as we said, we honestly believe that it will do even more than the manufacturers claim for it and if ever there was a remedy that is underestimated, Ford's Hair Pomade is the remedy. A good fault, we will admit, and it affords The Gazette great pleasure in saying these few words in behalf of a good thing for his people. Try it. Physclan's First Thought. A physician was driving along the street when his horse took fright and ran away. He was thrown violently to the sidewalk, and knocked senseless. Presently he recovered a little from his unconsciousness, and, noticing the crowd which had gathered about him, remarked: "What's the matter, gentleman? Anybody hurt? I'm Doctor B——. Can I be of any service?" "I'm so sorry to be so late, my dear, A friend asked me to stop by and take pot-luck with him." ELKS' SECOND ANNUAL OUTING Games and Races for prizes.

ELKS OF THE WORLD HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right In its Contention, as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstelus and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gus Hirstelus, because when a member of the council (from the 12th ward) Hirstelus refused to permit a street to be cut through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so "because colored people would come through" the street from Cedar avenue and "peer into their windows." He withdrew an ordinance which he introduced in the council (authorizing the proper city authorities to cut the street through at the request of the above-mentioned pre- died Cedar avenue residents. When he was reelected to the council, hit slips a second time, arrested to keep the street cut through, but suddenly refused lockup to prevent the following is partly at fault of expatriation. Read the letter carefully and thoughtfully. Mr. Peter Vail, City Court, Stir just before the court dramas made a court order to meet to the court that he had been in court and was something in the city court that for cutting a street through the Central avenue to Cedar Street, Ocean East Twelfth and East Twelfth streets, or in that street, or in that street, claimed, though paid by the in July host the work of the city street through his life and life since by Director Springston, one else connected with the city court. How much, if any, truth is there hla claim? Last year of the year before some individual introduced an name resolution or something in a council, providing for certain through in the same vicinity. If you tell me whether or not the resolution, ordinance or whatever is regarded to was approved, I will put forth a search of that the council with the above resolution will make the best opportunity you will give me. Your reply. Hen H. C. Smith Editor Gazette Dear Sir, On Friday, took place No. 151 by Mr Hirstus preached at the opening (C. East) of the place to Cedar avenue. It passed to same month on the 25th day. The in- provement was not made for the rea- son that Mr. Hirstus did not want it. His reasons for not wanting it. I have been informed, were and possibly a- that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. In May of the present year ther- was a resolution introduced that passed in June, looking for the liking of a new street between Cedar and Cedar avenues about Okeed street. This improvement may be made for the reason that the position of people through the arc of books was to open in dead end streets and the making of new streets. It is the custom of the admission to defer to the wishes of children for ward improvements, and ensure that the only reason the movement at East Twenty-fifth district was not made was because of a prejudice which Mr. Hirston letter to Wendel suggest that you call Springtown and not from him a crimination of what I have given you as a rumor. Very truly yours. PETER WILT. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor, Gerald S. Nur, Sir. Answering your favor to the 4th bid, with reference to the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, wry that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desire to have East Twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar avenue. that have been done long ago. As the time it was proposed to make the opening Mr. Hirstius invited me to meet with him a committee at the close of one of the council meetings. The committee represented the property owners and residents on Cedar avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protest against their opening, and the result was that Mr. Hirstius agreed not to have it made and ASKED NIL HAVE FOURTH STREET- TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made it a rule to set in accordance with the wishes of the county clan representing the ward in which improvements of this kind are to be made, therefore so accuse that MR. HIRSTIUS.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Brookfield, Mo.—"Two years ago I was unable to do any kind of work and only weighed 118 pounds. My trouble dates back to the time that women may expect nature to bring on them the Change of Life. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it made me feel much better, and I have continued its use. I am very grateful to you for giving me health I am now enjoying." —Mrs. BARAH LOUISMONT, 414 S. Livingston Street, Brookfield, Mo. The Change of Life is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease and pain. Women everywhere should remember that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will so successfully carry women through this disease. Pinkham, Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. For 50 years it has been curing women from the worst forms of female ill- inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, and nervous prosthesis. It would also provide a special advice about your case write a confidential letter to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free, and always helpful. THE MOVIE Grudge - Notelessly?

Two of those gasoline-tempted fish exploded in the frying pan, and broke the kitchen window, and blew the cook's face full of mashed potato, and hurled the teakettle into the four barrel, and painted the kitchen ceiling with stewed tomatoes.

Americans In Canada Not Asked to Forget That They Were Born Farm produce today is remunerative, and this helps to make farm life agreeable. Those who are studying the economics of the day tell us that the strength of the nation lies in the cultivation of the soil. Farming is no longer a hand-to-mouth existence. It means independence, often affluence, but certainly Independence. Calling at a farm house, near one of the numerous thriving towns of Alberta, in Western Canada, the writer was given a definition of "independence" that was accepted as quite original. The broad acres of the farmer's land had a crop—and a splendid one, too, by the way—ripening for the reapers' work. The evenness of the crop, covering field after field, attracted attention, as did also the neatness of the surroundings, the well-built substantial story and a-half log house, and the well-rounded sides of the cattle. His broken English—he was a French Canadian—was easily understandable and pleasant to listen to. He had come from Montreal a year ago, had paid $20 an acre for the 320-acre farm, with the little improvement it had. He had never farmed before, yet his crop was excellent, giving evidence to the quality of the soil, and the good judgment that had been used in his耕作. And brains count in farming as well as "braw." Asked how he liked it there, he drawned his broad shoulders, and with hand outstretched the waving fields of grain, this young French Canadian, model of symmetrical build, replied: "Be gosh, yes, we like him—the gosh, well—don't we, Jeanneette" as he smilingly turned to the young wife standing near. She had accompanied him from Montreal to his far-west home, to assist him by her wife help and companionship, in making a new home in this new land. "Yes, we come here wan year ago, and we never farm before. Near Montreal, me father, he kep de gris' mill, an 'de cardin' mill, an 'de doe cheese factor' too. He work, an 'me work, an 'us work harp, be gosh! Us work for de farmer; well 'den, sometin' go not always wan you call Estimates of Yield of Wheat in Western Canada for 1910 More Than One Hundred Million Bushels. Estimates of Yield of Wheat in Western Canada for 1910 More than one Hundred Million bushels. do' right, an' de farmer he say de' mean' ting, be gosh! and tell us go to—well, anyway he tarn mad. Now" and then he waved his hand again towards the fields, "I have no bodder, no cardin' mill, no gris' mill, no cheese factor". I am now de farmer man an' when we want to, me can say to de odder fellow! you go——! Well, we like him—the farin'". And that was a good definition of independence. Throughout a trip of several hundred miles in the agricultural district of Western Canada, the writer found the farmers in excellent spirits, an optimistic feeling being prevalent everywhere. It will be interesting to the thousands on the American side of the line to know that their relatives and friends are doing well there, that they have made their home in a country that stands up so splendidly under what has been trying conditions in most of the northwestern part of the farming districts of the continent. With the exception of some portions of Southern Alberta, and also a portion of Manitoba and Southern Saskatchewan the grain crops could be described as fair, good and excellent. The same drought that affected North and South Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and other of the northern central states extended over into a portion of Canada just mentioned. But in these portions the crops for the past four or five years were splendid and the yields good. The great province of Saskatchewan has suffered less from drought in proportion to her area under cultivation than either of the other provinces. On the other hand, instead of the drought being confined very largely to the south of the main line of the C. P. R. it is to be found in patches right through the center of northern Saskatchewan also. In spite of this, however, Saskatchewan has a splendid crop. A careful checking of the averages of yield, with the acreages in the different districts, gives an average yield of 15½ bushels to the acre. In Southern Alberta one-fifth of the winter wheat will not be cut, or has Serving Two Masters. "Can a man serve two masters?" exclaimed John M. Callahan, candidate for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state, at a meeting in Eagles' hall the other night. "I say he cannot, and that ruffles me of the answer' I got from an Irish friend of mine when I asked him the same question. "Kin a man serve two masters, is ut," says my Irish friend. "Of only known man that man that could do ut, and in the ind they sent him to fall for bigamy!"—Milwaukee Wisconsin. been re-sown to feed. There are individual crops which will run as high as 45 bushels on acres of 500 and 1,000 acres, but there are others which will drop as low as 15. A safe average for winter wheat will be 19 bushels. The sample is exceptionally fine, excepting in a few cases where it has been wrinkled by extreme heat. The northern section of Alberta has been naturally anxious to impress the world with the fact that it has not suffered from drought, and this is quite true. Wheat crops run from 20 to 30 bushels to an acre, but in a report such as this it is really only possible to deal with the province as a whole and while the estimate may seem very low to the people of Alberta, it is fair to the province throughout. When the very light rainfall and other centricities of the past season are taken into account, it seems nothing short of a miracle that the Canadian West should have produced 102 million bushels of wheat, which is less than 18 million bushels short of the crop of 1900. It is for the West generally, a paying crop and perhaps the best advertisement the country has ever had, as it shows that no matter how dry the year, with thorough tillage, good seed and proper methods of conserving the moisture, a crop can always be produced. As some evidence of the feeling of the farmers, are submitted letters written by farmers but a few days ago, and they offer the best proof that can be given. Maidstone, Snask, Aug. 4, 10. I came to Maidstone from Menominee, Wis., four years ago, with my parents and two brothers. We all located homesteads, at that time and now have our patents. The soil is rich black loam as good as I have ever seen. We have had good crops each year and in 1909 they were exceedingly good. Wheat yielding from 22 to 40 bushels per acre and oats from 40 to 50. We are well pleased with the country and do not care to return to our natty state. I certainly believe that Saskatchewan is just the place for a hustler to get a start and make himself a home. Wages here for farm labor range from $35 to $45 per month. Lee Dow. Tofield, Alberta, July 10, 1910. I am a native of Texas, the largest and one of the very best states of the Union. I have been here three years and have not one desire to return to the States to live. There is no place I know of that offers such splendid inducements for capital, brain, and brawn. I would like to say to all who are not satisfied where you are, make a trip to Western Canada; if you do not like it you will feel well repell for your trip. Take this from one who's on the ground. We enjoy splendid government, laws, school, railway facilities, health, and last, but not least, an ideal climate, and this from a Texan. O. L. Pughs. James Normur of Porter, Wisconsin, after visiting Dauphin, Manitoba, says: "I have been in Wisconsin 25 years, coming out from Norway. Never have I seen better land and the crops in East Dauphin are better than I have ever seen, especially the oats. There is more straw and it has heavier heads than ours in Wisconsin. "This is just the kind of land we are looking for. We are all used to mixed farming and the land we have seen is finely adapted to that sort of work. Cattle, hogs, horses and graft will be my products, and for the live stock, prospects could not be better. I have never seen such cattle as are raised here on the wild prairie grasses and the vetch that stands three or four feet high in the groves and or the open prairie. Sir Wilfred Laurier Talks to Ameri- beans Sir Wilfred Laurier, Premier of Canada, is now making a tour of Western Canada and in the course of his tour he has visited many of the districts in which Americans have settled. He expresses himself as highly pleased with them. At Craig, Saskatchewan, the American settlers joined with the others in an address of welcome. In replying Sir Wilfred said in part: "I understand that many of you have come from the great Republic to the south of us—a land which is akin to us by blood and tradition. I hope that in coming from a free country you realize that you come also to another free country, and that although, you came from a republic you have come to what is a crowned democracy. The King, our sovereign, has perhaps not so many powers as the President of the United States, but whether we are on the one side of the line or the other, we are all brothers by blood, by knighth, by ties of relationship. In coming here as you have come and becoming naturalized citizens of this country no one desires you to forget the land of your ancestors. It would be a poor man who would not always have in his heart a fond affection for the land which he came from. The two greatest countries today are certainly the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Republic of the United States. Let them be united together and the peace of the world will be forever assured. "I hope that in coming here as you have, you have found liberty, justice and equality of rights. In this country, as in your own, you know nothing of separation of creed and race, for you are all Canadians here. And if I may express a wish it is that you would become as good Canadians as you have been good Americans and that you may yet remain good Americans. We do not want you to forget what you have been; but we want you to look more to the future than to the past. Let me, before we part, tender you the sincere expression of my warmest gratitude for your reception." The Right Way. William Muldoon, the noted trainer, was talkin', apropos of the Jeffries-Johnson fight, of training. "In training," he said, "the strictest obedience is required. Whenever I think of the theory of training I think of Dash, who after 18 years of married life, is one of the best and happiest husbands in the world. "Dash, I once said to him, well, Dash, old man, how do you take married life? "According to directions,' he replied." --- A STITCH IN TIME Every form of cutaneous disease could be cured in its incipiency if a jar of Resinol Gintment were kept at hand. A little of this excellent Ointment applied in time will effectually ward off and cure a starting trouble which, if neglected, may provo a troublesome and often obstinate case of Eczema or other disfiguring skin disease. For burns, scalds, slight wounds, sores, erosion of polson ivy, sunburn, it is a quick and sure remedy, usually curing these troubles over night. To the unfortunate sufferer with Hemorhoids (itching or Inflamed Files) resinol gintment is indeed a goodsend. The intense pain and intolerable itching of this trouble is instantaneously relieved and a cure effected in a very short time. The bath room or family medicine case is incomplete if not equipped with Resnol Soap and Ointment. They are most valuable accessories in every well regulated household, and can be obtained at any drug store. Resnol Medicated Shaving Stick is also highly appreciated by men who regard a good complexion and a face free from pimples and blotches.

The young deuchess of Westminster, wife of the richest peer in England, recently gave birth to her third child, a daughter. Thus there is no heir to the immense Grosvenor fortune. Earl Grosvenor, the duchess' second child, having died at the age of four. Aproupos of all this, a rather cruel story is being told in Newport about Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight-year-old daughter of the young duchess. A friend, the story goes, called at Eaton Hall, and as she sat in the drawing-room, Little Lady Ursula entered. "Oh, good afternoon," she said, gravely. "Mamuna can't see any one today. She's upstairs with the new baby. They sent her, you know, a girl when she'd ordered a boy, and she's so upset that she's quite ill." Talking to the Child. "Mrs. X.—talks to little Madge just as X. Mr. X.—talks to their dog," said a little girl of a neighboring family. And it was indeed true, Mrs. X.—is a very well-meaning woman and would be greatly surprised if she should hear the foregoing statement. She has simply unconsciously acquired a harsh tone of voice in dealing with her children. This is altogether unnecessary, and is not, as many mothers seem to think, a mark of good discipline. The mother whose manner is quiet but firm is generally a much more successful disciplinarian than the harsh-voiced mother who issues her commands in a dictatorial manner. Kindness never spoils children. It is faby indiscretion, sometimes mistaken for kindness, which spoils them. Opportunity of Suffragist Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one of the magazines how the women of Finland came to vote. The fact is that women had to show that they could meet an emergency before the vote came to them. They have not had many opportunities to take the initiative in the world's history and they have not always responded when the opportunity came, but when a crisis, such as that in 1904, when the strike and the revolutionary outbreak in Russia took place at the same time, occurred, they proved they could make peace by doing it. Not until England and the United States find the women helping them to bear some great trouble will they give them the right to vote. Try to Come Back Not long ago Lord Klinnaird, who is always actively interested in religious work, paid a surprise visit to a mission, school in the east end of London and told a class of boys the story of Samson. Introducing his narrative, his lordship added: "He was strong, became weak, and then regained his strength, enabling him to destroy his enemies. Now, boys, if I had an enemy, what would you advise me to do?" A little boy, after meditating on the secret of that great gin'ts strength, shot up his hand and exclaimed: "Get a bottle of 'air restorer.'" "NO FAILS" Sometimes a good, healthy commercial traveler suffers from poorly selected food and is lucky if he learns that Grape-Nuts food will put him right. A Cincinnati traveler says: "About a year ago my stomach got in a bad way. I had a headache most of the time and suffered misery. For several months I ran down until I lost about 10 pounds in weight and finally had to give up a good position and go home. Any food that I might use seemed to nauseate me. "My wife, hardly knowing what to do, one day brought home a package of Grape-Nuts food and coaxed me to try it. I told her it was no use but finally to humor her I tried a little, and they just struck my taste. It was the first food I had eaten in nearly a year that did not cause any suffering. "Well, to make a long story, short, I began to improve and stuck to Grape-Nuts. I went up from 135 pounds in December to 194 pounds the following October. "My brain is clear, blood all right and appetite too much for any man's pocketbook. In fact, I am thoroughly made over, and owe it all to Grape-Nuts. I talk so much about what Grape-Nuts will do, that some of the men on the road have nicknamed me 'Grape-Nuts,' but I stand today a healthy, rosy-cheeked man—a pretty good example of what the right kind of food, will do.

Mrs. Ray Trusner, 39 West Third St., New Albany, Ind., says: "Kidney disease had rendered me a chronio invalid. I lay in bed unable to move hand or foot. My right limb was swollen to twice normal size. I looked the picture of death and my case puzzled the doctors. The kidney secretions invalid. I lay in bed unable to move hand or foot. My right limb was swollen to twice normal size. I looked the picture of death and my case puzzled the doctors. The kidney secretions were highly colored and scaled terribly.

HOW A DOCTOR CURED SCALP DISEASE "When I was ten or twelve years old I had a scalp disease, something like scald head, though it wasn't that. I suffered for several months, and most of my hair came out. Finally they had a doctor to see me and he recommended the Curtica Remedies. They cured me in a few weeks. I have used the Curtica Remedies also, for p. breaking out on my hands and was benched a great deal. I haven't had any more trouble with the scalp disease. Miss Jessie F. Eichman, R. F. D.

Barmum, the famous circus man, once wrote: "I have had the Cutleura Remedies among the contents of my medicine chest with my shows for the last three seasons, and I can cheerfully certify that they were very effective in every case which called for their use." Globular Lightning Yesterday the inhabitants of Lewisham were provided with a specimen of that curious phenomenon known as "globular lighting." It is what is commonly called the "fire ball," and it as it persists for several seconds it is obviously of a totally different character from any other form of lighting. It is much less brilliant than ordinary lighting, and its brightness appears to be that of iron at the "red hot" stage. It is not, as some accounts might lead one to infer, a solid missile, but it is always spherical and appears to fall from a thunder cloud by its own gravity, sometimes rebounding after striking the ground —London Globe. How It Was Named Nottingham lace was so called because it originally was made by the semi-savage people who lived in the caves in the district now known as Nottingham, in England. By keeping the work between them and the dark mouth of the cave the women could work the pattern easily. Nottingham, or any other face, even the finest and filimest, can be washed safely and quickly with Easy Task soap, which is a natural, scientific cleanser and leaves the lace in the best condition. Easy Task costs but five cents a cake at your grocer's. **Something Dreadful.** *Wee Anita was listening to a story of the Johnstown flood.* *What made it?* she asked. *Oh, the dam broke.* replied grandma. The next morning she ran into her brother's room and, climbing up on the bed, required anxiously: "buyer, wasn't it just dreadful 'bout that sweat breaking and killing all doso people?"

PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD Children of Today Puzzle Over There Just as They Did a Thousand Years Ago. When King Alfred the Great was reigning over England, a thousand years ago, school children pondered over problems in arithmetic much as our boys and girls do now. Here are two taken word for word from a lesson book of that day: "The swallow once invited the snail to dinner. He lived just one league (tree English miles) from the spot, and the small traveled at the rate of only one inch a day. How long would it be before he dined?" "An old man met a child, 'Good day, my son,' he said.
