LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY LABOR DAY The Dignity Of Labor Mutual Advantage of Labor and Capital The Goal VOL. XXIV. WE VENTURE to assert with emphasis that if a little seriousness would be given to the commemoration of our holidays and festive seasons, the real purport and significance attached to them would impress no more forcibly, and a better enjoyment, a truer spirit and a full realization of the meaning of these anniversaries would necessarily follow. Pleasure we must have; frivolity a kind of "cant help" which many of us delight to engage; pastimes lending a relief to the arduous and assiduous toiler—all these are admissible in our daily affairs, but sometimes we pause at the height of such enjoyments when we view the gross inconsistency in the celebration of these special days and seasons, and then if a faint reminder of the word of wisdom, "a time for everthing and everything in its time" would serve the purpose of our duty to OUR GOD, OUR NATION, OURSELVES AND OUR NEIGHBORS, we would surely find a little time to engage the serious side of our holidays, the result of which brings joy, peace and happiness to many hearts. Think of Decoration Day, after viewing the parade, wending our way to the cemetery, placing the wreaths and flowers on the graves of our departed, giving ourselves wholly to the most serious reflections and almost immediately after in striking contrast the anxious moments of preparation for "a ball," or some other secular role, which seems to present the finishing touch in the minds of some of the day's proceedings. It is for this and similar reasons that the Colorado Statesman makes this request to all who grasp the full meaning of the great holiday—LABOR DAY, that they visit the churches tomorrow (morning and evening) and listen to the addresses from not only pulpit orators, but men who have and are making a deep study of the labor question among us and also other people of the universe, and we are sure the instructions, the reasonings, the timely suggestions will be so helpful that we will on the morrow be fully equipped to share in the joys and blessings to be found in the celebration. THE DIGNITY OF LABOR. This is so wide a field to cover that space would not permit us in this issue to elaborate on this priceless quality of Labor, but the words of Newman Hall, one of the world's eminent writers, in a graphic description of this dignity. give justice to the situation and are as follows: "The dignity of labor! Consider its achievements! Dismayed by no difficulty, shrinking from no exertion, exhausted by no struggle, ever eager for renewed efforts in its persevering promotion of human happiness, 'clamorous Labor knocks with its hundred hands at the golden gate of the morning,' obtaining each day, through succeeding centuries fresh benefactions for the world!" He goes on: "Labor, a mighty magician, walks forth into a region uninhabited and waste; he looks earnestly at the scene, so quiet in its desolation; then, waving his wonder-working wand, those dreary valleys smile with golden harvests; those barren mountain slopes are clothed with foliage; the furnace blazes; the anvil rings; the busy wheels whirl round; the town appears—the mart of Commerce, the hall of Science, the temple of Religion, rear high their lofty fronts; a forest of masts gay with varied pennous, rise from the harbor; the quays are crowded with commercial spoils—the peaceful spoils which enrich both him who receives and him who yields. Representatives of far-off regions make it their resort; Science enlists the elements of earth and heaven in its service; Art awaking, clothes its strength with beauty; Literature new born, redoubles and perpetuates its praise; Civilization smiles; Liberty is glad; Humanity rejoices; Piety exults—for the voice of industry and gladness is heard on every hand. And who contemplating such achievements, will deny that there is dignity in Labor." This leads us on to the goal of MUTUAL ADVANTAGE OF LABOR MUTUAL ADVANTAGE OF LABOR AND CAPITAL. This all-desirable end is fast approaching, and the day is not very distant when differences and difficulties between these two powerful agencies will be amicably and satisfactorily settled. Locally and in our own experience we have suffered when it comes upon a distribution of advertisements from the large firms, etc., as while our circulation is not as large as the dailies, yet proportionately we get quite a number of patrons through our advertising we deserve; but with all this we expect that in the meeting of Labor and Capital on the same gang-plank, these and other errors will be adjusted to the satisfaction of all, and a reciprocity brought about universally that will be so beneficial to humanity that no power on earth would attempt to interfere with. THE GOAL. Let us, therefore, revelling in the idea which is becoming more practical as the days go by, resolve to help this advantage, creating a kindly feeling for all members of the great laboring State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House iable Negro Pa ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA class of which we form a part, and as the Litany of Labor rightly puts it, "Remove from us all prejudice, loving our neighbors as ourselves, our interests being identical," and joyfully we will shout as we celebrate, LABOR SHALL AND MUST BE FREE AS LABOR AND CAPITAL WILL DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY. NEGRO SOLDIERS AND TEXAS. The following editorial appeared in the Albuquerque Morning Journal Sunday, Aug. 26: "The War Department can do foolish things, along with some wise ones, and still not be open to the charge of inefficiency. But just how, in the light of the Brownsville affair and the recent trouble between whites and Negroes at Waco, it could be foolish enough to order the Twenty-fourth infantry (Negroes) to Houston, Tex., is not understandable. "Negro troops and people of Southern cities never have gotten along well together, and the fault is not always—in fact not often—with the Negro. In Texas cities particularly, the presence of Negro provost guards is resented and the police usually undertake to make the Negro soldier 'know his place,' just as they are in the habit of intimidating the common Negro of the slum districts. "The Negro in the uniform of Uncle Sam is a fighting man, drilled and trained to the use of arms. He has shown that he can be extremely dangerous, when driven to desperation. Furthermore, the Twenty-fourth infantry is recognized as a most efficient regiment, and except under extreme provocation it never would have mutinied. It is just as well for us to recognize the facts. "While the mutiny and the killing by the Negro troops in Houston are inexcusable, and will rightly result in the death penalty for the leaders, the evidence shows that the Negroes had deep cause for resentment at the way they had been treated by the Houston police. "Everywhere there is racial antagonism. As Paul Kester, author of a rather thoughtful book, 'His Own Country,' puts it, 'If every white man in the world were to wake up tomorrow morning black, it wouldn't make one of them a Negro, and if every Negro in Virginia were to wake up white, it wouldn't make one of them a white man, as we understand it.' "This racial difference is accentuated in the South and exaggerated in eastern Texas, and it was the height of folly to send the troops to Houston. In the course of time it is possible that the War Department will remember that the American soldier, white or black, is a human being, with sentiments, and prejudices and resentments, and not a bale of hay to be shipped into any environment which some man with shoulder straps happens to think of. ```markdown ``` NO ROOM FOR RACE PREJUDICE SAYS JEWISH DAILY NEWS. A remarkable editorial appeared in the "Jewish Daily News," published in New York City, on Tuesday, July 31st. The article, which was captioned, "No Room for Race Prejudice," was occasioned by the great silent protest parade which was held in New York following the East St. Louis riots and was participated in by eight thousand Negroes. It was a masterful plea for justice, and says in part: "Pitiful wrongs and grave acts of injustice have been and are continued to be committed against the Negro and the oppression from which he suffers is a reflection upon the democracy of the United States. "Prejudice and race hatred must be foreign to the people of the United States. The founders of the Republic fled to these shores because they were discriminated against in the lands of their nativity. They sought freedom once the right to develop, to labor and to worship in accordance with the dictates of their conscience. The great majority of the citizens of this country are either natives of foreign countries who have come here to escape intolerable conditions, or they are descendants of such refugees. "Every sympathy must be expressed to Negroes who are persecuted, denied the opportunity of gaining an honest livelihood, lynched and driven hither and thither. "But above all, every right-minded American to whom the fundamentals of the Republic are dear and who wishes to maintain the spirit of freedom that is the cornerstone of the fabric of the United States, must protest with might and main against the persecution to which the Negro is subjected. "The dignified and earnest protest of the thousands of Negroes should strike home and cause every American to regard his fellow citizen of the black race with fairness and justice. Let there be an end to wrong-doing we stand accused before the Bar of Justice as a people unworthy of freedom." Boston, Mass. — Company L of the Sixth Massachusetts Infantry, the only colored company in the Massachusetts National Guard that passed into Federal service, will not go South with the other units of the regiment, but has been sent to the Watertown Arsenal for guard duty. It has been detached from the regiment until further orders. The order of detachment, it is believed, means the company's passing out of the Sixth Infantry for all time. The reason for not sending it with the other companies is said to be due to the policy of keeping colored soldiers out of the South. The company has been with the Sixth Massachusetts Infantry for forty years. COLORADO COLORED BATTALION It is gratifying to note that company A is creating more than a favorable and passing impression in military and civilian circles. They are doing work as guardsmen along with the white troops and everythink is working so harmoniously as to point to the getting of their quota in a short time. Keep it up COLORED SAMMIES! RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 13. Over two thousand claims have been filed for damages by colored people, because of the recent race riot in East St. Louis. Sea Girt, N. J.—Negro troops will be included in the new State guard being formed for riot duty and service in other public disorder. Authorization for the two platoons of twenty-five men each at Jersey City and a similar number at Atlantic City was sent out to-day by Governor Edge. The colored troops will be additional to the 2,500 contemplated, in the original apportionment of county quotas will not be affected by the increase in the strength of the State guard. The Negro soldiers will be the first colored men included in the military establishment of the State. Success attained by Public Service Commissioner Haywood of New York in recruiting the Fifteenth New York Infantry and the record of Negro troops in the regular army were considerations that led to the decision. Raleigh, N. C. — After evading officers for about ten days Reuben Bailey, a young white man of the Barton's Creek section of Wake County, has been placed in jail without bail upon a charge of housebreaking and criminal assault upon Mrs. Cora Winston, a colored woman. The double crime against the young man, it is alleged, occured August 7 and his arrest followed an escape from Deputy Nipper shortly after the crime occured. Baily was en route to Raleigh with the deuty sheriff, when he jumped from the buggy and hid in the tall timbers. He gave himself up. Bailey is charged with going to the Negro woman's home, forcing an entrance into the house through the front door by removing a latch and criminally assaulting her in the presence of Mrs. Winston's two young children. The young man is well connected and has many friends in Barton's Creek township, where the charge has created much interest. Deming, N. M., Aug. 25.— Capt. H. N. Preston tonight denied published reports that an impending clash between civilians of Deming and members of the Second battalion of the Twenty-fourth infantry (colored) NO 2 stationed here, had caused the removal of the troops. "No friction exists between the citizens of Deming and the members of the Twenty-fourth infantry at the present time, nor has there been any trouble at any time in the past," Captain Preston said. Sheriff Simpson said his department had had less trouble with the Twenty-fourth infantry than with any body of troops ever stationed here. The removal of the battalion, ordered to Columbus, N. M., had been expected for weeks, it was said at military headquarters, where it was stated the transfer probably was due to the fact that large units of the Thirty-fourth national guard division for training at Camp Cody are expected next week, making the presence of the Negro regulars here unnecessary. AMERICA'S WARNED GERMANY SEEKS TO ROUSE NEGROES Washington, Aug. 27. —A warning that German influences are using the famous "plan or San Diego" by which Mexicans were stirred to trouble against the United States in an effort to rouse the Negroes was issued here by the Patriotic Educational society today. Henry A. Wisewood is president of the organization and Perry Belmont heads the list of governors, Raymond B. Price signs the warning. "Information has reached the responsible officers of this society," the statement reads, "of a widespread German propaganda urging the Negroes of America to rise against the whites and promising German aid and money to finance the insurrection. In Germany, the credulous colored people are informed, the color line does not exist." The society says that these offers have been extended to Negro leaders upon anonymous postcards and letters. They have been turned over to government authorities. "The psychological moment is near at hand," says the society's warning. "If Germany, thru the spread of race riots, incendiarism, sabotage and labor troubles, can create a reign of terror in this country she believes that thousands of Americans will add their voices to the pacifists and the traitors to bring a German peace." NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS ```markdown ``` COLORADO STATESMAN CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR Since April 9 the entente allies have made prisoner 167,780 men of en- emy armies. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Berlin reports the capture of Russian positions near Jacobstadt, between Riga and Dvinsk. Five per cent of the drafted men will be mobilized Sept. 5th, others on Oct. 3rd, and the balance as soon as practical. Results of the heavy fighting on the Canadian front are reflected in the casualty lists, totaling over 1,000 for the week end. The Riga campaign seemingly has halted, indicating the Germans do not contemplate trying to capture the great Baltic seaport. President Wilson cabled the Moscow council, backing up the "blood and iron" rule of Kerensky and pledging new Russia America's aid. As the result of a British attack on the Flanders front the British lines have been advanced along a front of more than 2,000 yards astride the St. Julien-Poelcapelle road. On the frontier of Bessarabia, in Bukowina, the Russians are again showing disaffection, having deliberately quit their trenches, which were later occupied by the Germans. ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. The French gained an advance of 1,000 yards and captured 1,000 men in an assault near Verdun Monday. The German assaults on the Aisne front also have been blocked by the French. The Italians kept up their valiant drive Tuesday, winning new positions on the Bainsizza plateau. As the advance continued alarm spread in the city of Triest and that town was evacuated by the civilians. The cessation of activity in the French ranks around Verdun leads to the belief that the Petain forces are gathering for another big drive in that section. Reinforcements have been added to the victorious lines. Along the front in Flanders and northern France hard rains have set in, causing an abatement in the fighting. The Germans have ceased their counter attacks in the Verdun sector, evidently finding their task useless. WESTERN THE COLORADO STATESMAN Eugene S. Ives, general counsel for the Southern Pacific company of Mexico, and for many years a practicing attorney of Tucson, Ariz., died suddenly at Mist, Cal. Following the disclosure that the department proposes to commission 25,000 men in the first increment of the selective draft army, it was learned that preparations are in the making for training 150,000 officers at reserve camps during the next year.

President Wilson will lead the parade of capital national army men when they mobilize for entrainment for camp Sept. 5. TWODOLLARSAYEAR America's present War Congress will be a $30,000,000,000 session. Of this colossal sum, $7,147,222,907 has been appropriated since Congress convened in March. More than $23,000,000,000 additional, in pending estimates and others to be made soon, must be cared for before the session quits. Appropriation of $100,000 for building military roads from the Panama canal back into the jungles as a possible aid to repelling invaders was requested of the House by the War Department. Housewives to the number of 10,000 have been enlisted in a movement to tell Uncle Sam what they have in their pantries on a given day, what their families need to eat for a week, and what their monthly ration is.

HOME GARDENING BAND WILL RAISE CROPS WORTH $10,000 AT IDAHO SPRINGS. Handsome Showing Made with Potatoes and Vegetables, and Not a Single Failure Reported. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—Idaho Springs' "home gardening band" will raise from $10,000 to $12,000 worth of potatoes and other vegetables this season. That handsome showing is due to the offer of the Water company of free water and its campaign to persuade residents to utilize every particle of space possible for gardening purposes. "I inspected scores of gardens in Idaho Springs this week," said Mrs. Martha A. Shute, formerly secretary of the State Horticultural Board. "Not in a single instance was there a failure, and in many instances homes have been supplied for the first time from their own gardens. I would estimate the potato and other vegetables grown by reason of the 'corner-lot campaign' will total from $10,000 to $12,000. Mayor Moscript gave his individual attention to creating interest, and other city officials entered into the spirit of the campaign. Maps were made showing all vacant lots and seeds were supplied. It is expected the city will fertilize the ground this winter and intensive gardening, even on a more enlarged scale, will be the order next spring. James Underwood, mining engineer at Idaho Springs and leader of the intensive gardening clan, is setting a record in the cultivation of scarlet runner beans. On the site of an old placer mine, fifty by twenty-two feet, he has scientifically fertilized the soil and developed a mass of vines 110 feet long and fourteen feet high. It is declared by experts to be one of the best examples of gardening in Colorado. Incidentally, scarlet runner beans are more than an ornament. Mr. Underwood grows the beans, picks them and cans them. Will Reopen Advance Mine. Pueblo.—The abnormal price of silver and metals is stirring the mining industries throughout the state with the result that at least one company, which has not been active during the past year is planning to re-open operations. The Advance Mine and Milling Company, owned and controlled by Pueblo business men, is making preparations to re-open operations at its mine in Ohio City, Colo., within the next month. The mine has been idle for the past year, although favorable specimens of ore were taken from the company's property. Ranch Owner Sued for Heart Balm.

POPE'S PEACE PLEA REJECTED PERMANENT WORLD TRANQUIL LITY AIM OF AMERICA AND ALLIES, SAYS WILSON. FULL TEXT OF U. S. REPLY WORD OF KAISER CANNOT BE TAKEN AS GUARANTEE THAT WAR WILL END. Western Newspaper Union News Service. To His Holiness, Benedictus XV. Pope: In acknowledgment of the communication of your Holiness to the belligerent peoples, dated August 1, 1917, the President of the United States requests me to transmit the following reply: Every heart that has not been blinded and hardened by this terrible war must be touched by this moving appeal of his Holiness, the Pope; must feel the dignity and force of the humane and generous motives which prompted it, and must fervently wish that we might take the path of peace he so persuasively points out; but it would be folly to take it if it does not, in fact, lead to the goal he proposes. Our response must be based upon the stern facts and upon nothing else. It is not a mere cessation of arms he desires; it is a stable and enduring peace. This agony must not be gone through with again, and it must be a matter of very sober judgment that will insure us against it. To Free Peoples From Militarism. To Free Peoples From Militarism. His Holiness in substance proposes that we return to the status quo ante bellum, and that then there be a general condonation, disarmament and a concert of nations based upon an acceptance of the principle of arbitration; that by a similar concert freedom of the seas be established and that the territorial claims of France and Italy, the perplexing problems of the Balkan states and the restitution of Poland be left to such conciliatory adjustments as may be possible in the new temper of such a peace, due regard being paid to the aspirations of the peoples whose political fortunes and affiliations will be involved. It is manifest that no part of this program can be successfully carried out unless the restitution of the status quo ante bellum furnishes a firm and satisfactory basis for it. The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace and the actual power of a vast military establishment controlled by an irresponsible government which, having secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry the plan out without regard either to the sacred obligations of treaty or the long-established practices and long-cherished principles of international action and honor; which chose its own time for the war; delivered its blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier either of law or of mercy; swept a whole continent within the tide of blood—not the blood of soldiers only but the blood of innocent women and children also and of the helpless poor; and now stands balked, but not defeated, the enemy of four-fifths of the world. Would Need Hostile Combinations. This power is not the German people. It is no business of ours how that great people came under its control or submitted with temporary zest to the domination of its purpose; but it is our business to see to it that the history of the rest of the world is no longer left to its handling. Entire Family in Service of U. S. Denver.—Jennings D. McLeod, special agent of the United States general land office in Denver, has made more than the "greatest sacrifice" to his country. He has not only given himself to his land, but has given his wife and son also. Mr. McLeod left with the rest of the Colorado troops for the second officers' reserve training camp at Fort Sheridan. Mrs. McLeod will leave for her old home in Tennessee to join the Red Cross for work in France. Their 15-year-old son, Jerre, will enter the United States naval training school at Norfolk, Va., to prepare for the navy. Michaelis May Lose Chancellorship. Copenhagen. — The possibility of another change in chancellors in Germany is discussed by George Bernhard in the Vossische Zeitung. He says that it is plainly evident already that the appointment of a minor official like Dr. Michaelis without general political experience, was a great mistake, and that the results desired are not apt to be reached quickly under the leadership of the new administration. Serious Food Situation in Sweden. London.—A serious domestic situation is confronting Sweden, due to the exploitation of the food supply by pro-Germans, and the industrial stagnation, according to advices received here. Chinese Generals Offer 50,000 Men. Peking.—Generals La Pei Ching Lung Chi Kwang and Ku Chin Tan commanding 50,000 troops of Yunnan Kwei Chow and Kwang Tung provinces, have offered forces for services in Europe. To deal with such a power by way of peace upon the plan proposed by his holiness, the pope, would, so far as we can see, involve a recuperation of its strength and a renewal of its policy; would make it necessary to create a permanent hostile combination of nations against the German people, who are its instruments; and would result in abandoning the new-born Russia to the intrigue, the manifold subtle interference, the certain counter revolution which would be attempted by all the malign influences to which the German government has of late accustomed the world. Can peace be based upon a restitution of its power or upon any word of honor it could pledge in a treaty of settlement and accommodation Responsible statesmen must now everywhere see, if they never saw before, that no peace can rest securely upon political or economic restrictions meant to benefit some nations and cripple or embarrass others, upon vindictive action of any sort or any kind of revenge or deliberate injury. The American people have suffered intolerable wrongs at the hands of the imperial German government, but they desire no reprisal upon the German people, who have themselves suffered all things in this war, which they did not choose. Equal Freedom and Security. They believe that peace should rest upon the rights of peoples, not the rights of governments—the rights of peoples, great or small, weak or powerful—their equal right to freedom and security and self-government and to a participation upon fair terms in the economic opportunities of the world—the German people, of course, included, if they will accept equality and not seek domination. The test, therefore, of every plan of peace is this: Is it based upon the faith of all the peoples involved or merely upon the word of an ambitious and intriguing government on the one hand, and of a group of free peoples on the other? This is a test which goes to the root of the matter; and it is the test which must be applied. The purposes of the United States in this war are known to the whole world—to every people to whom the truth has been permitted to come. They do not need to be stated again. We seek no material advantage of any kind. We believe that the intolerable wrongs done in this war by the furious and brutal power of the Imperial German government ought to be repaired, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of any people—rather a vindication of the sovereignty both of those that are weak and those that are strong. Peace on Justice and Fairness. Punitive damages, the dismemberment of empires, the establishment of selfish and exclusive economic leagues we deem inexpedient and in the end worse than futile, no proper basis for a peace of any kind, least of all for an enduring peace. That must be based upon justice and fairness and the common rights of mankind. We cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a guarantee of anything that is to endure unless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of the German people themselves as the other peoples of the world would be justified in accepting. Without such guarantees treaties of settlement, agreements for disarmament, covenants to set up arbitration in the place of force, territorial adjustments, reconstitutions of small nations, if made with the German government, no man, no nation, could now depend on. We must await some new evidence of the purposes of the great peoples of the central powers. God grant it may be given soon and in a way to restore the confidence of all peoples everywhere in the faith of nations, and the possibility of a covenanted peace. ROBERT LANSING. Secretary of State of the United States of America. Thousands Visited Estes Hatcheries. Estes Park.—According to the records of the Thompson fish hatchery at Estes Park, since May 25, 1917, and up to Aug. 22nd, the number of visitors has been 11,437, which is an increase of 1,231 for the same period last year. All of the states of the union have been represented with the exception of Delaware, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Vermont and several were registered as hailing from the District of Columbia, Cuba, Alaska and the Philippine Islands. Provost Marshal Sends R. R. Tickets. Washington. — More than 20,000 blank railroad vouchers are being mailed out by the provost marshal general's office for the transportation of the draft army to camp. The tickets are being mailed to the governors of states, who, in turn, will distribute them to approximately 4,500 local boards. Opens Club for American Boys. Newport, R. I.—Mrs. Vincent Astor has opened a club for American blue-jackets "somewhere in France." Colorado Senator Wants Cloture. Washington.—Senator Shafroth is getting tired of the Senate's "monkeying" with the war revenue bill. He thinks the procrastination is disgraceful and he signed a petition to invoke cloture. Church Conference Opens. Pueblo.—The annual conference of the United Brethren Church for Colorado opened here today with about sixty ministers in attendance. Bishop G. J. Kephart of Kansas City was the principal speaker. $2.20 PRICE SET BYU.S.FORWHEAT COMMITTEE ON SCALE FOR 1917 CROP COMPROMISE AFTER THREE-DAY DISCUSSION. MEANS 5-CENT LOAVES FARMERS ASKED $2.50 WHILE LABOR REPRESENTATIVES PROPOSED $1.84. Denver.—Local wheat men stated that the basic price of wheat for Denver probably will be $2.20 per bushel or about $3.67 per hundredweight, the local price always depending chiefly on the fluctuations in Chicago, rather than in any other wheat center. They ventured the opinion, however, that Denver may, in this case, be classed with Kansas City and Omaha on a basic price of $2.15. Washington.—A price of $2.20 a bushel was fixed for the 1917 crop of wheat by President Wilson Thursday night on the recommendation of the wheat price committee, headed by Dr. H. A. Garfield. The basis will be No. 1 Northern spring wheat, delivered at Chicago. The committee finally agreed after three days of voting. At one time it looked as if it would be impossible to come to a conclusion, but a compromise was reached and the last vote was unanimous. Representatives of the producers began by voting for a price of $2.50 and labor's representatives for $1.84. In a statement accompanying the announcement of the price, President Wilson declares it is the hope of the food administration, and his own as well, that the fixing of a price will stabilize the market and keep prices within moderate bounds for all transactions during the current year. The price of flour and bread, too, the President declares, will be kept down. The committee, in its report to the President, gave as its three chief considerations that entered into its deliberations the following: The fact that the United States is at war; the need of encouraging the producer; and the necessity of reducing the cost of living to the consumer. All members agreed in their discussions that the price fixed will permit of a fourteen-ounce loaf of bread for 5 cents, allowing a fair profit both to the flour manufacturer and the baker. The price differentials worked out by the food administration are: No. 1 dark red winter, $2.24; hard winter basic, $2.20; red winter basic, $2.20; yellow hard winter, $2.16; soft red winter, $2.18; dark Northern spring, $2.24; red spring, $2.18; humpback, $2.10; amber durum, $2.24; durum basic, $2.20; red durum, $2.13; red Walla, $2.13; hard white basic, $2.20; soft white, $2.18; white club, $2.16. Number 2 of each grade is 3 cents less; No. 3, 6 cents less; No. 4, 10 cents less. Relative market basis: Chicago, Galveston, New Orleans basic; Kansas City and Omaha, 5 cents less than basic; Duluth and Minneapolis, 3 cents less; St. Louis, 2 cents less; New York, 10 cents more than basic; Baltimore and Philadelphia, 9 cents more; Buffalo, 5 cents more. Bar Silver Goes to 90% Cents. New York.—Bar silver's steady advance was unbroken Aug. 30, the metal being quoted at 90% cents an ounce. U-BOAT SINKS BRITISH LINER. Rule of "Blood and Iron" Begun to Save Slav Army. An Atlantic Port, Aug. 31.—Word has been received here indicating that the British 7,000-ton steamship Verdi has been sunk with the loss of six of her crew. Petrograd.—The rule of "blood and iron" has begun in Russia, one regiment having been "dispersed" in disgrace for deserting their posts on the Rumanian front. In other sections of the eastern front the Russians are stiffening their resistance and yesterday reported having blocked the advance of the enemy. Gen. Cadora is giving the Austrians no rest. The Italians are driving ahead steadily in spite of the furious counters and have taken some new positions. Following the bombardment of the city of Triest, the British and Italian warships have announced they escaped injury and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy. Arizona Troops Train at Ft. Riley. Phoenix, Ariz.—The state adjutant general was advised by the war department that Arizona's selective draft troops will be trained at Fort Riley, Kan. Previous orders had sent them to both Fort Riley and Fort Sam Houston, Tex. Vote on $2,500,000,000 War Tax Washington. — By unanimous consent the senate agreed to vote finally on the $2,500,000,000 war revenue bill on Monday, Sept. 10. MEAT CONTROL BOARD MEAT CONTROL BOARD WILL HOLD MEETING IN DENVER SEPT 5 AND 6. Plans for Work Will Be Outlined in Washington by Committee Headed by H. C. Hoover. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—A. E. deRicques of Denver, who was recently named to represent Colorado in a federal "beef conservation" movement, has been advised that a meeting of cattlemen, packers, shippers, railroad officials, bankers and others interested in the cattle industry, has been called to meet in Washington Sept. 5 and 6. "The purpose is to create a United States live stock industry committee, headed by H. C. Hoover, national food administrator, and D. F. Houston, secretary of agriculture, to stimulate production and conservation of live stock," said Mr. deRicques. "We have big problems before us in connection with a world food supply. "The most important feature is for the business men to delete thoughts of personal profit and turn his attention to a great and patriotic service. "We must not only feed this country but must maintain the armies of the allies and our own army abroad as well as contribute to the feeding of the civil population of the countries who are fighting with us for universal liberty. The problems here are different from those abroad. "For example, England is reducing its herds for the reason that the land cannot produce sufficient both to feed live stock and the people. Here we seek to increase herds and to add vastly to the acreage both for raising foodstuffs for animals and for the people. "The meeting at Washington will do much toward setting in motion a comprehensive and effective campaign for raising live stock and insuring its distribution to points where this production is needed." Western Slope Has Enough Workers. State Labor Commissioner W. L. Morrissey received the official report of the investigation which has been made by the superintendent of the state free employment bureau at Grand Junction in reference to labor conditions on the western slope. The report states that there is a surplus of laborers in the orchards of Grand valley and that the only rate the railroads have granted is a one and one-fifth round-trip fare to points within a radius of 100 miles from Grand Junction. Declares Alderson Not Mines Head. Adds 280.000 Acres to Homestead Act. Secretary of the Interior Lane, through M. D. McEniry, chief of the Denver land office, announces that 280,000 acres have been added to the area originally designated under the enlarged homestead act under which entrymen may file on 320 acres. More than 26,000 acres were designated in ten counties in Colorado, practically all of which have been filed on. Several thousand acres in Otero and Montezuma counties, however, the Interior Department says, are free from claim. Colorado Crops Are Improving. Favorable weather and improvement in many crops are recorded in the weekly weather and crop summary issued in Denver by the weather bureau. Moderate temperaure, good local showers, conditions favorable for outdoor work, completion of harvesting of small grains in most districts and the progress of threshing operations to a point where they may be classed as general are outlined in the summary. Bid Farewell to 1,800 Enlisted Men. Bid farewell to 1500 enlisted men. Denver and Colorado paid formal farewell to the enlisted men who are now encamped at Fort Logan, Camp Baldwin and Golden, when 1,800 soldiers and non-commissioned officers were entertained at a ball given at the Denver Auditorium under the auspices of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Colorado National Guard. New Director in Red Cross Work. Miss Gertrude Vaile, head of the Denver City Bureau of Charities and Correction for more than two years, has accepted the position of director of the Bureau of Civilian Relief in mountain division of the National Red Cross Society. No Brigadler Now for Colorado. According to a dispatch received in Denver from Washington, neither Maj. Patrick J. Hamrock nor any other Colorado Guard officer will be made brigadier general to command this state's federalized troops. Hamrock's promotion, according to Adjt. Gen. McCain in Washington, failed of recognition for the reason that the state hasn't a brigade. It is possible that at a later date some Colorado officer may be considered for appointment to brigadier general. Western Beef Co. Open Daily to 8:30 p. m.

Atlantic City, N. J., August 26, 1917. The formation of a political party of Negroes to act entirely independent of all existing parties is announced as a leading subject to be considered at the annual convention of the National Independent Political League, which is to meet here Tuesday, for a two-day session. The League, of which Dr. S. L. Carrothers of Washington, D. C., is president, claims to represent 300,000 Negro voters. Not guns, nor swords, but such intellectual methods result in concerted action and win our battle insuring us the necessary reforms for practical citizenship with the LIBERTY.—Editor. TO YOUR SCHOOLS, O. PUPILS! "I T SEEMS of such a short duration I can hardly realize a vacation of nearly three months, and to think of burying one's thoughts and delving into those books, books, books. Oh, horrors!" The expression of the little lady who will soon complete her high school scholastic career, but on hearing her sister who is entering this semester of a high school for the first time, planning her order of action for the four years, and then her intended university career, the former immediately realizes her position, takes new hope and with encouragement from parents, other relatives and friends, resolves upon a career the brilliancy of which can be better imagined than described. And so as school will reopen before another issue of this paper, the Colorado Statesman takes this opportunity of wishing every pupil of our public schools, each student of our colleges and universities a very successful term, and an ambitious role excelling that of previous years. With the splendid personnel of school directors, with a superintendent that has been endorsed by the people, our Denver educational activities this school session should result in greater success. NEGRO TROOPS AND THE SOUTH. WHEN it comes to the performance of actions wherein Negro soldiers, ever mindful of their allegiance to the flag of the United States and their sworn duty to protect fellow citizens, irrespective of race or creed, play an important part, we hear and read commendations from all White America, whether North or South, when they make such sacrifices as the laying down of their lives for the safety of America and the American people. True as this is, yet strangely, whenever any disturbance arises between white and black and even before the matter is legally and thoroughly investigated, the tendency is to assume the latter guilty and endeavor, by the press and other agencies, to condemn him and consign him to the blackness of darkness, gaining the approval of the white masses. In the recent deplorable event of last week Thursday, at Houston, Texas, the spirit of the South exhibited its usual dictatorial form when representations in the nature of strongly worded protests and petitions were made by Senators and Congressmen to Secretary of War Baker to remove the battalion of the Twenty-fourth infantry from Texas, and the merchants, who constitute a great power in the South, actually demanded the withdrawal of the troops, and that no Negro troops be sent there (Texas) for training except those of Texas origin. While these boastful actions and high-sounding demands are being made, we stop to ask, if as it is said, "the South is in the saddle," is this their way of appreciation, and do they by such defiance of law and order expect anything but lawlessness and its attributes of evil. In this unfortunate Houston affair the few friends we have who are AMERICANS AT HEART will help our troopers who are charged with this grave offence to secure an impartial trial whether military or civil, and those of us who can see between the lines must not hesitate to instruct our people how to be cautious in extreme cases as these. There is a mighty influence and a great agency in our country at this moment trying to prove Negro disloyalty to the government with the aim of destroying the enviable record we have made in military and civil life, but with all their efforts, especially with the backing that they believe is in their possession, we will endeavor to maintain our integrity as contributors to this nation's good and in turn merit the protection which, though oftimes withheld from us, must be established permanently in the securing of this world-wide democracy which is claiming our greatest attention in the world's greatest struggle. Major General Parker is not satisfied that the trouble was a RACE RIOT in his position as Commander of the Southerndn Army Department, and does not make any such representation to his chief, the Secretary of War. The charges of mutiny, murder, etc., must be proven without the shadow of a doubt, and the anxious Texan who is clamoring for the return of the number of soldiers who were in the hands of the city authorities, but who left with the battalion when they were disarmed and sent to New Mexico, will find that the opportunity "to try them and execute them" as they determined upon, will not be afforded, as we cannot vouch for their cool headedness. A soldier well trained and experienced in military disciple remonstrates with a white police officer for slapping a negress several times in the face. The officer, feeling his racial superiority, is so incensed at the Negro soldier's action, starts right in and beats him with the butt of his gun, then arrests him. Another soldier is sent to inquire the cause of the arrest, and he is also beaten up and lodged in jail. Feeling runs high in camp, for their comrades as a retaliation is resolved upon and the result of dead and wounded comes about. We, in the spirit of fair play, ask our people to follow the investigation closely, so as to be in receipt of all facts. Arriving at a right conclusion, as the cause of right must prevail, and when the matter is fully weighed our men in military uniform will not be found wanting. War Time Behavior of Producers Will Determine Nation's Course War Time Behavior of Producers Will Determine Nation's Course By United States Senator Francis G. Newlands of Nevada PETER H. Our war conditions now require supreme collective effort, and that, carried out to the full extent, means socialism. We have found that in war the law of supply and demand breaks down because extraordinary demands are precipitated upon moderate supply. Prices soar, and that means disturbances and readjustments for every kind of labor and industry and for commerce. We could not wait long enough, upon entering the war, for the usual effect of increased demand, namely, increased production, to restore the price levels. There- fore, in the stress of war it becomes necessary to take over plants or control prices, unless the desired results of reasonable prices can be obtained by understanding with the producers. When I say reasonable prices, I mean reasonable prices not only for the government but for the public. It is not to be imagined that a country can successfully prosecute a war, even though it obtains its supplies at reasonable prices, if its industrial forces at home are upset by strikes and lockouts. Increasing prices invariably mean a ferment of labor troubles, which in turn materially impair the military strength of a nation at the front. The laborer is bound to compare the amount which a dollar of his wages will buy today with what it would buy a month and a year ago. He has to do this; he is compelled to contend all the time for the maintenance of the power of his wages. If things go up in price his wages must go up, too. We must avoid such a race between prices and wages by keeping prices down, not only for the sake of conserving all our present industrial strength for war purposes, but for the sake of the economic welfare of the United States after the war in its international trade relations. If we do not avoid such a race between prices and wages both will increase steadily till the end of the war, when our wage level will be above that of the other belligerent countries in which there has been better control. And the country with the highest wage level will then be at a disadvantage. Its cost of production of all commodities will be above that of the other countries, which will put it out of the running in any competition in its own markets and in the markets of the world. And the high wage level will also bring an influx of labor which the country will not be able to handle. Every consideration, therefore, demands that a proper price level shall be maintained by government regulation, and this, of course, involves a form of state socialism. "Americanism" Goal Toward Which the World Has Aimed Since Time Began By Representative Burton E. Sweet of Iowa To me "Americanism" is one of the grandest words in the English language. It has become symbolical of civil and religious liberty on the western continent. It represents the shining goal toward which the human race has been tending since time began. We find epitomized in it the struggles, the hopes, the dreams and the aspirations of man for better days and better things since the time when he cringed and crawled in the dens and caverns of barbarism, and groped and felt his way through the long night of the stagnant centuries toward the dawn of a grander day up to the present hour when we behold him revealed, standing upright, with the sunlight of heaven in his face, or walking with uncovered head beneath the silent stars, contemplating as to the handiwork of the Creator and the betterment of the human race. Americanism is the new civilization. Americanism has become synonymous with the spirit of civil and religious freedom throughout the world. With us and all thinking men Americanism has become like a mighty and ever-widening stream. Its source lies hidden somewhere in the swamps and lowlands of barbarism. Its origin is coeval with the human race. It has been fed by passing clouds that drop their garnered fullness down, by innumerable rills that gush from the mountainside, by springs that well up into its unseen depths, and by subterranean rivers that joyously swell its ever-increasing volume as it moves on in solemn majesty toward the eternal sea. On its surface serenely rides our ship of state, amid the storms of war, unchecked by devious currents or adverse winds that blow. "The hopes of humanity are hanging breathless on its fate." The waters at times seem troubled, but our course is plain. An enlightened public opinion is our pilot and our Constitution is our chart and compass. Let the stream of Americanism flow on until it engulfs the world. Let it flow on until all the races and all the children of men shall receive its blessings and enjoy its energizing and revivifying influences. Let it flow on until it ends with the consummation of all things earthly at the throne of God. World War Will Be Won by Machinery and Conquest of the Air By Basil A. Hester I will venture a prediction, viz: that the present world war will be won by machinery. The sphere of combat will be the air; the motive power, gasoline; the agent, an engine, light but powerful; the machine itself, monster airplanes, that will spill and spit high explosives, fire and flames, until their mission is accomplished. These, attacking the trenches, will drive out and scatter their defenders like frightened geese; will demolish and overturn fortified strongholds and utterly lay waste and burn the capital cities. The beginning of this new era of warfare was well foreshadowed by the unstopped havoc of the undersea destroyers. But their compass was too narrow, being circumscribed by the seas. It remains, then, for these monster engines of destruction, commanding, as they will, both land and sea, to make the devastation complete. The victor in a world's life and death struggle will have justly earned the title of "The Prince of the Power of the Air." Perplex yourselves no longer about sufficiency of man power on either side. There is abundance and to spare. Machines are going to win the war; therefore, call forth your dread machines, assemble these mighty engineery of war together; for to those who first see and effectively grasp this new development of destructive power will belong the victory.

GREEK PROPRIETOR DEMANDS INDEMNITY AND WILL RESORT TO LAW. Whether white men in uniform military think they are immune from the law and can destroy at will the property and goods of licensed candy vendors will be proven, as the Greek proprietor of the large and accommodating candy store with its variety of chocolate, bon-bons, marshmallows, etc., intends to discover whether peaceable citizens can carry on legitimate business in Denver without molestation from the fine specimen of disciplined guardsmen we have in Denver. After some little alteration with one of the clerks of the store on Saturday evening, a soldier was ejected on his refusal to leave. This created an annoyance among his comrades and they charged the candy cases damaging whatever came within reach. Not appeasing their ire they returned Sunday evening fifty strong in command of a sergeant and carrying ammunition in the form of a brick each, threw them on the command given, leaving shattered glass and splintered wood besides goods that were spoiled. The big headlines were conspicuous by their absence in our dailies and the reference made to the disgraceful event was in the way of a passing joke or a vaudeville performance.

Travers, 2427 Emerson Street Tuesday evening when Miss Myrtle Marie Travers, older of the two daughters, became the bride of St. Elmo Brady, Ph. D., head of department of science of Tuskegee Institute. Rev. A. M. Ward, of Campbell Chapel African M. E. Church officiated. The wedding was a genuine surprise to the guests, consisting of relatives and intimate friends of the bride, who had assembled to meet Prof. Brady of Tuskegee Institute. The bridal party entered the parlor by the strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding March played by Mrs. Georgia K. Smith. The bride was attired in a handsome creation of white gaberdine, the waist of which was prettily adorned with tiny pearls. She wore a white hat trimmed in lilies of the valley and carried a bouquet of yellow bridal roses. Miss Mosella Joseph and Miss Ruth Travers, the latter an only sister of the bride, were the attendants. Mrs. Alice S. Travers, mother of the bride, was the escort for the groom and W. H. Black, an uncle, gave the bride away. Miss Travers is a Denverite and graduate of Denver High School. She specialized for teaching at Emporia, Kansas, and had a year in normal work in Denver. She is admired by all who know her for her sweet personality. She was employed last year as teacher at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, where she succeeded so well that she is slated for the same position for the ensuing school year. It was at Tuskegee that she met Prof. St. Elmo Brady the head of the science department. Prof. Brady, the groom, hails from Louisville, Kentucky, where he received his early education, graduating from the high school in 1903. He entered Fiske University which conferred upon him his A. B. degree in 1908. He was immediately employed as instructor in chemistry at Tuskegee Institute and rose gradually to his present position there—head of the department of science. He received his M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from the University of Illinois where he was a Fellow in chemistry matriculating there while on leave of absence from Tuskegee Institute, 1914-1916, when he received his latter degree, doctor of philosophy. Professor Brady is the author of three papers in abstract which appeared in publication with Dr. C. G. Derrick of the division of organic chemistry. He appeared before the American Chemical Society in two papers on Original Research, and is a member of the Phi Lambda Upsilon. Prof. and Mrs. St. Elmo Brady left Denver Wednesday noon and will spend their honeymoon at the home of the groom's mother in Louisville, Kentucky. They will be at home to their many friends on the beautiful grounds of the famous Tuskegee Institute after September 15. The bride's traveling dress was a midnight blue chiffon broadcloth and she wore a black velvet picture hat under which she looked pretty to say the least. CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH.

Fruits That Are Best Suited for This Delicious Product. PECTIN IS PRIME ELEMENT Amount of Sugar Can Be Determined by the Alcohol Test—Mistakes to Be Avoided by the Housewife. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A good jelly should be bright, of good color, and clear. When removed from the glass it should retain the shape of the mold. Good jelly can be cut with a distinct cleavage, retaining the angles where cut. It should sparkle and be tender enough to quiver without breaking. Fruit for Jelly Making.—The Juice from certain fruits, such as grape, apple, crabapple, orange, kumquat and currant, is better suited for making a natural fruit jelly than juices from other fruits. The juices from these fruits contain the properties necessary for jelly making. The best fruits for jelly making contain pectin and acid. Pectin, the fundamental jelly-making substance, does not exist in some fruits in sufficient amount to make jelly without the addition of pectin from some other source. The peach, strawberry and cherry are examples of fruits which contain acid but are lacking in pectin. Pear, guava and quince contain pectin but are deficient in acid. If the missing property be added to each of these fruits, a jelly with the color and flavor of the fruit selected can be made. Extracting the Juice.—Wash such fruit as berries, grapes and currants in running water and add one cupful of water for each pound of fruit. For apples, quinces, guavas and such hard fruits, wash, slice and add three cupfuls water to each pound of fruit. The fruit should be cooked until tender, a small quantity of water being added to help extract the juice. The fruit juice will flow more freely when heated than when cold, and the cooking develops the pectin. As room as the fruit is tender the liquid should be squeezed through a cheesecloth and then be allowed to drip, without pressure through a flannel jelly bag (illustrated). Overcooking of the fruit is apt to result in a cloudy jelly. After cooling the juice to room temperature test it to determine the amount of pectin present. This test gives some idea of the proper proportion of sugar to juice. Add one tablespoonful 95 per cent grain alcohol to an equal volume of cooled fruit juice and shake gently. The effect of the alcohol is to bring together the pectin in a jellylike mass. If a large quantity of pectin is present it will appear in one mass or clot when poured from the glass. This indicates that equal quantities of sugar and juice may be used. If the pectin does not slip from the glass in one mass, less sugar will be required. A fair A bag of liquid is suspended above a flat surface. Below it is a conical funnel attached to a wooden stand. The liquid is being poured into the funnel. A Drip or Drain Bag for Use in Jelly Making (Above) and a Jelly Bag With Rack (Below). proportion is three-fourths cupful of sugar to one cupful of juice. If the pectin is thin and much separated, one-half cupful of sugar allowed for each cupful of juice will be sufficient. Quantity of Juice to Cook.—The quantity of juice to be cooked at one time will depend upon the size of the vessel and the methods of heating available. The capacity of the vessel used should be four times as great as the volume of juice to be cooked. If the attempt is made to cook a large quantity of juice at one time over a slow flame, there will be a loss of color and a decrease in the yield, partly due to the destruction of the pectin. When to Add Sugar.—When the proportion of sugar to juice has been determined, measure the fruit juice and place over the fire to cook. When the juice begins to boil, add the sugar immediately and stir until the sugar is dissolved. By adding the sugar when the juice begins to boil, more time is given for the inversion of the sugar by the acids of the fruit and there is less danger of crystallization. Cooking the Jelly—After the sugar has dissolved, the cooking should be as rapid as possible. Finished Jelly can be obtained more quickly by rapid cooking. Long cooking will tend to darken the product and destroy the pectin, which will cause the finished Jelly to be less firm. Since no definite temperature can be given for the finished jelly, the most convenient means of determining when it is finished is to test it with a spoon or paddle. Dip a spoon or wooden paddle in the boiling mass. Remove and cool by moving it back and forth for a few seconds and then allow the jelly to drop from it. As long as there is slurp present it will run or drop from the spoon. When the jellying point is reached, it will break from the spoon in flakes or sheets. When this jelly stage is reached, remove from the fire immediately and skim. Skimming at this point saves waste. Filling Glasses.—After skimming the jelly, pour at once into hot sterilized glasses and set aside to cool. Cooling and Sealing.—Cool as rapidly as possible, avoiding dust which will give contamination with mold. When the jelly is cold cover it with melted paraffin. By running a pointed stick around the edge of the glass while the paraffin is still hot, a better seal can be obtained. Storing.—Jelly should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place. If jelly is stored for a long period of time, it will deteriorate in texture, color and flavor. Mistakes to Avoid.—Soft Jelly.—Jellies sometimes are sirupy because more sugar has been used than the fruit juices require or because boiling after the addition of sugar was not continued long enough to drive off excessive water. Tough Jelly.—Jelly is tough or stringy because too small an amount of sugar was used for the quantity of fruit juice taken or because the boiling was continued after the jellying point had been reached. Crystals in Jelly.—Crystals appear throughout the jelly because of an excess of sugar. When sugar is boiled with an acid for a sufficient length of time, it is changed into a form which does not crystallize. Crystals are found in jelly sometimes because the juice is boiled to too great a concentration before the addition of sugar, or in boiling the slurp spatters on the side of the pan, dries, and in pouring the finished product these crystals are carried into the glasses of jelly, and in that way the jelly becomes seeded with crystals. Cloudy Jelly.—This may be due to having cooked the fruit too long before straining off the juice or to not having used sufficient care in straining the juice. Sometimes it is noticed in apple and crabapple jelly that although it is clear when first made, the jelly becomes cloudy after a time. In these cases it usually is due to the use of partly green fruit, the starch in this fruit probably causing the cloudy appearance. JELLIES FROM PECTIN. Pectin, the essential jelly-making substance, may be extracted from fruits rich in it, and this concentrated product used with the juices of fruits deficient in pectin, for the making of excellent jellies. Apple Pectin.—One pound apple pulp (or skins and cores), juice of one lemon, four pounds water. Boll for half to three quarters hour, press the juice through a cloth bag, then allow this juice to drain without pressure through a heavy flannel or haircloth jelly bag. This juice when cold should be tested with alcohol to determine the proportion of sugar to add to a volume of juice. Pectin can be bottled, processed for 15 minutes in a water bath at boiling, and kept until needed for jelly making. Orange Pectin.—Cut or scrape the yellow rind from the peel of the orange, the white portion remaining being passed through the food chopper and weighed. For each pound of this prepared peel add two pounds of water and four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, mix thoroughly, and allow to stand 15 minutes. Then add two pounds water, boil ten minutes, let stand overnight. Next morning boil ten minutes, allow to cool, press to remove juice and then drain juice through a flannel bag. If not desired for immediate use, bottle and process as for apple pectin. Mint and Orange (or Apple) Pectin Jelly.—One pint concentrated orange (or apple) pectin juice, one pound sugar, two drops oil of peppermint, two drops green vegetable coloring. Bring the orange or apple pectin juice to boiling, add sugar, and boil rapidly until the jellying point is reached. At this point two drops of green vegetable matter is added, together with two drops of oil of peppermint. Stir thoroughly, and pour while hot into clean, sterilized jelly glasses. Strawberry and Orange (or Apple) Pectin Jelly.—One-half pint concentrated orange (or apple) pectin, one-half pound sugar, one-half pint strawberry juice. Mix orange (or apple) pectin juice and the strawberry juice, bring to a boil and add sugar. Continue boiling until the jellying point is reached. Pour immediately into hot sterilized jelly glasses and skim. When cold, pour hot paraffin over the jelly. Pineapple and Orange (or Apple) Pectin Jelly.—Add one pint orange (or apple) pectin juice to one pint pineapple juice which has been boiled for ten minutes, add one pound sugar and continue boiling until the jellying point is reached. Pour immediately into hot sterilized Jelly glasses and skim. When cold, pour hot paraffin over the Jelly. MARKETING COSTS FOUND TOO LARGE Uncle Sam's Experts Seek to Eliminate Losses in Handling Farm Products. TERMINALS TOO NUMEROUS Investigators Propose Remedies for Evils Which Directly Affect the Prices Received by the Farmers. The farmer has a direct interest in the efficiency of the marketing organization in cities, according to officials of Uncle Sam's department of agriculture, since lack of efficiency may be reflected in the poor prices he receives for his products. Sooner or later, it is argued, the great majority of the perishable products raised on the farm for sale finds its way to the cities for distribution, and, whether it passes from the ownership of the farmer before or after reaching such centers, the sales are usually based on city quoted prices. Many farm products, especially perishables, are consigned to city commission merchants to be sold for what they will bring, the prices received in such cases being directly dependent on their city market value. Prices based on these values are paid also when such products are sold by the producer directly to wholesalers or jobbers after shipment to city trading centers. Even the products which the farmer sells at the nearest railroad station are bought largely for consumption in cities and so are paid for, in most cases, at prices which are dependent on those prevailing in city markets. Study Distribution System. The office of markets and rural organization of the department has taken up as one of its important studies city marketing and distribution. Through this project the aim of the office has been to study marketing conditions in various cities; to determine as accurately as possible the sources of loss and waste in city marketing and the methods by which such losses and wastes may be eliminated; to develop general plans for efficient marketing facilities of various kinds for cities, and to aid by specific suggestions such cities as may seek assistance in improving their marketing conditions. The general fault, it has been found, is the existence of numerous terminals separated from each other and from the wholesale district. In some cases it was found that there are as many as a score of separate terminals existing in a city. Shipments for a given dealer may arrive at a number of these terminals on the same day, necessitating much more costly cartage or the employment of many more salesmen than would be necessary if but a single terminal for perishables existed, and the wholesale dealer has his store located conveniently to it. Every extra handling, every square of extra cartage and every additional salary paid increases the labor cost of marketing, which must come out of the margin between the producer's selling price and the consumer's buying price. Separate Terminal Proposed. The aggregate losses and additions to marketing costs, due to inefficient terminal facilities, are so great in the average large city that market specialists believe it would be a feasible plan in many instances for the communities to promote and finance a separate terminal for perishables which would be connected with all railroads. The studies that have been made of the various kinds of market institutions have enabled the office of markets and rural organizations to offer an advisory service to cities, truck growers and produce dealers' organizations, which has proved very helpful. BIG INCREASE IN NEW GOLD Uncle Sam Adds $98,891,000 Worth of Yellow Metal to His Total Wealth in One Year. Uncle Sam added new gold to his total wealth during 1915 to the amount of $88,891,000, which is almost a record, and a gain of $4,395,300 over 1914. If we add to this the gold ore mined, but not smelted yet, the total passes $100,000,000—every penny of it new wealth. Says the joint report of geological survey and the bureau of the mint: survey and the bureau of the mint: "An increase in the yield of gold is indicated by the mine returns from every important gold-mining state, and a decrease is reported from Washington, while the output of Idaho remains the same. "The preliminary estimates indicate an output of 67,485,600 fine ounces of silver, valued at $34,417,656. Although next to the record output of 1914 in quantity, the value, based on the low average price of 51 cents per fine ounce for 1915—the lowest in the history of the industry—was considerably below the values for 1914 and many previous years, when production was smaller but prices ruled higher. "Increases in the mine production of silver were especially notable in Montana, Utah and Arizona, and were considerable in Idaho, Alaska, New Mexico and Texas; but large decreases were reported from Colorado and from Nevada following similar decreases in 1914." EXTEND MAIL SERVICE Postal Officials Enlarge Range of Rural Free Delivery. Increased Efficiency Is Promised by Dg department in Spite of Reduced Appropriation Asked. An investigation has recently been completed by officials of Uncle Sam's post office department into the rural mail service which, it is said, developed indications that gross extravagance prevailed in its operation, and revealed also a multitude of glaring examples of special favor and privilege. During the year a revision of the service having for its object the correction of the evils, was conducted in 329 counties and 28 states, resulting, officials say, in a reduction of $1,359,162 in operating expenses. This reduction, together with that of $654,280 made in like manner during the last fiscal year, aggregates $2,013,442, and with such funds all applications for new service or extensions have been granted by the department where the requirements have been met. Officials of the department submitted an estimate of $49,000,00 for the maintenance of the rural mail service for the fiscal year 1918. This amount, they say, will be ample for this branch of the postal service. It is $4,000,000 less than the appropriation for 1917. This reduction is deemed feasible from the fact that the work of the department, in endowing to equalize hours of labor, eliminate duplication of travel, unnecessary refraces, and all forms of privilege and favoritism, will largely decrease the cost of the service without impairing its efficiency in the slightest degree. During the past three or four years it is estimated that this rural mail service has been extended to 658,571 families, or approximately 3,000,000 patrons, most of whom were formerly remote from any postal facilities. The work of establishing these new routes and of extending routes already in operation has been expedited as much as possible, and the department intends to continue prompt action on the establishment of all meritorious rural service and rapidly to extend postal facilities to the entire rural population. BIG OUTPUT OF EXPLOSIVES Exports From United States Jump From $5,521,077 in 1913 to $717,144,649 in 1916. The wonderful development of the explosives manufacturing industry in the United States during the last four years is shown in a report issued by Uncle Sam's bureau of mines. In the year 1913, which was a normal year, the exports reached $5,521,077. The following year, in which the European war started, the exports $10,037,587; in 1915, $188,969,893; and in 1916, when the entire industry had been thoroughly organized, the total was $717,144,649. The total production of explosives in the United States during 1916, exclusive of exports, was 252,708 tons, an increase of 22,000 tons over the previous year. The amount of so-called permissible explosives, those that have passed severe tests of the bureau of mines and which are used in dangerous mines because of their degree of safety, was 26,566,521 pounds, an increase of 5,000,000 pounds as compared with 1915. The production for 1916 is segregated as follows: Black powder, 215.575,025 pounds; "high" explosives other than permissible explosives, 255.154,787 pounds; and permissible explosives, 34,685,240 pounds. These figures represent an increase of 17.852,725 pounds of black powder, 19.326,200 pounds of high explosives, and 7,335,331 pounds of permissible explosives, as compared with figures for 1915. Who Composed Music of "Star Spangled Banner?" Does anyone know who composed the music of "The Star-Spangled Banner?" The hymn, "Anacreon in Heaven," composed by John Smith, an Englishman, about 1770, is the original music of the national anthem, according to a recruiting official of the United States Marine corps. Anacreon was an ancient Greek poet, a sycophant and a great drunkard, according to history. The young Maryland lawyer, Francis Scott Key, set the words of his masterpiece to the tune of Smith's hymnal inspiration. Increase in Grinding Materials. The value of abrasive materials produced in the United States in 1916 was $4,600,248, according to statistics compiled by F. J. Katz of the United States geological survey, department of the interior. Of this, $1,664,339 was the value of natural abrasive materials, and $2,935,909 the value of artificial abrasives. The abrasive materials imported for consumption in 1916 were valued at $555,850. The apparent total consumption of abrasive materials in 1917 was thus $5,156,098, which was an increase of nearly 30 percent over 1915. FRANK R.

The first man in it was six feet first man in it was six feet four inches tall, with a bearskin hat on his head that raised him to seven feet. He was the drum major of the band and was twirling his big silver-headed staff and throwing it into the air with fine juggler. Behind him came the band. Then came the different unions marching in line, every man looking happy on this clear September day that he could lay aside his hammer or his trowel or whatsoever tool best represented his trade and step out to the inspiring strains of martial music. Among those who lined the sidewalk, occupied the steps of the buildings or climbed the lamp-posts along the line of march was a certain Mrs. O'Toole, who had recently come over from Ireland. With her was her son Daniel, six years old. The mother was standing with the crowd on the curb, but Danny was perched with leg on each side of a horizontal piece of iron under the lamp, straining his eyes to catch the first glimpse of sunlight that would strike the brass horns of the band. The drum major passed, the band passed, the grand marshal and his aids A man in a suit raises his hand in a wave as he stands on a balcony, looking out at a crowd of people below. 9 "Which?" Cried Danny. passed. Then came the carpenters' union, the plumbers' union and the masons' union. "Oh, Danny," cried Mrs. O'Toole, "there's your father!" Now, Danny O'Toole had known ever since he was old enough to know anything that his father had left him and his mother in Ireland, when Danny was a baby, to come to America. He was to send money home and when he got enough together to send for his wife and boy he would do so. For awhile letters had come from him, then they had ceased. His wife had come to America to look for him. "Which?" cried Danny. "The man on the far side, him with the red head. Call him." Danny, knowing only one way to attract his parent's attention, shouted "Redhead!" with all the power of his little lungs. The man heard him and, turning his head, saw a kid on a lamp-post waving his hat at him. Then, lowering his eyes, he saw his wife looking in his direction. Leaving the ranks, he came across the street, elbowed his way through the crowd to his wife, and she fell into his arms. Meanwhile, Danny, seeing that he was not getting his share on this family reunion, dropped down on his father with one leg on each shoulder. His father pulled him down into his arms. "The child?" asked O'Toole. "Yes. It's Danny." Danny got a hug that made him cry out, and, drawing off as far as he could, he punched his hugger with his little fist. "Don't you hurt me that way ag'in!" he said, fiercely. "Oh, Danny," said Mrs. O'Toole, laughing through her tears, "your father's so glad to see you." That ended the O'Toole family's interest in the Labor day procession. O'Toole went with his wife and boy to their rooms, where he explained his long silence. He had been suddenly taken ill and attacked with loss of memory. It had partially returned to him and he had written his wife, but she had already left Ireland for America. That was a number of years ago. Since then Danny O'Toole has grown to be a stalwart young fellow, has learned his trade and can swing a sledgehammer with any man. And when Labor day processions march down the street between admiring crowds Danny is sure to be among them. And he takes a great interest in the day because it is the anniversary of his first meeting with his father in America and of his family reunion.

POVERTY RECOGNIZED AS SOCIAL DISEASE Leaders of Thought Say Its Disappearance Will in Time Be Effected by Adoption of Wise Social Party. Alfred W. Greeley In Pennsylvania Grit. It is not to die, or even to die of hunger, that makes man wretched; many men have died; all men must die. . . . But it is to live miserable we know not what to be heat-worn, weary, yet isolated, unrelated, girt in with cold, universal laissez faire—Thomas Carlyle. IT IS beginning to be recognized that the great bulk of the burden of poverty is as unnecessary and preventable as smallpox or tuberculosis. Just as tuberculosis is a physical disease, so poverty is a disease of the social organism. It is probably the greatest burden humanity staggers under and it exacts directly and indirectly its toll from all members of society. Why should there be hungry mouths when the proper cultivation of even one state of the Union would furnish sufficient food for our whole population? Why should millions shiver underclothed every winter when we are able to furnish textiles for the whole world? Why should there be grim periods of unemployment with vast natural resources yet untouched? These and similar questions are beginning to demand an answer that must be more than a smug, hypocritical shouldering of the responsibility upon Providence. Poverty Never Essential. The conquest of poverty is now an economic possibility. It is definitely within reach if we are willing to pay for it and formly desire its achievement. The campaign, many of its features now in development, is mainly one of social and economic betterments for the correction of social injustice, for the increase of the earning power of labor and capital, not one but both as a unit of efficient production; for the prolongation of human life through public sanitation and hygiene, together with preventive medicine in a war on preventable disease; for the salvage of the deficient and defective classes of society, and for the rectification of underpayment and the prevention of unemployment, understood as involuntary idleness of competent workmen. Every factor of human betterment is doing its part directly or indirectly, in this war upon poverty. Social Surplus a Necessity. The success of this battle with poverty is contingent upon the existence of a social surplus, the basis of all social well-being. That is, as a nation we must produce goods or services much in excess of our immediate needs of subsistence. And we are doing that today upon a scale never before known in the world. It has made us the richest nation with wealth estimated at something close to $250,000,000,000. It is an intolerable condition that when there is enough and more than enough to feed all that any should hunger, save, perhaps, the chronically criminal and the unemployable of various antisocial types. Photo by George Alsop. Civilization has kept pace with increased economic production. "Starting from a rude social order wherein bare and uncertain existence was the most that man could wrest from nature, society has attained an incredible economic productivity by the development of intellectual force and manual dexterity, by the more efficient arrangement of its own powers, and most of all by the discovery and utilization of natural energies. The diffusion of comforts, the possibilities of luxuries, the rise of arts and letters, the spread of culture—in a word, the development of civilization is the consequence of increased economic production." And furthermore, we can place no limit to the future rate of increase in production clearly assignable. The history of the United States illustrates the working of this principle which has ousted the gloomy, pessimistic prophecy of Malthus. From 1850 to 1900 the population increased 226 per cent, while the production of the eight great cereals increased 409 per cent. And what is true of our agricultural products is also true even to a greater extent of iron and steel, textiles and other manufactures. Our per capita wealth in 1850 was $307. It is now supposed to be about $1,800 or $2,000. Workers' Condition Bettered. Together with this great increase in national production and wealth, with the creation of a great unprecedented social surplus, has gone a wonderful betterment in the condition of the working classes. Wages have risen, expenditures have increased for nonphysical satisfaction; the deposits in savings banks have augmented; the per capita consumption of wheat, sugar and meat have grown; the death rate has declined, and, taken altogether, there has been a steady and unprecedented improvement in the condition of the workers. But the creation of this huge social surplus has not removed the challenge of want; it has not destroyed the menace of poverty. It has only made a solution of a bitter problem possible. While there is no doubt that the intensity of poverty is less today than in the past, even in this country, yet the challenge of poverty and its consequent misery still stands wolflike at our threshold. In the words of Professor Hollander: "The root of the problem lies deeper. Poverty, like certain of its primary causes, is a phase of modern industry. The very forces which increase the national product and enlarge the social surplus, if left to themselves, breed conditions of want. . . . Far from diminishing with increased wealth production, the misery resulting from such causes is, in the face of social inaction, likely to augment and intensify. Society may grow richer, civilization may advance, and yet poverty continue to gnaw cancer-like at its vitals." Our enormous national wealth with its unprecedented social surplus, our vast natural resources which we are conserving in time, our national ideals and aspirations for social, political and industrial justice, are the factors which, sooner or later, may give us the unique distinction of being the world's first nation to abolish poverty. I would be true, for there are those who trust me, I would be pure for there are those who care. I would be strong for there is much to suffer I would be brave for there is much to dare. —H.

Peaches may be used in various combinations for desserts, the following is one worth bearing in mind: ```markdown ``` Peach Trifle.—Scald a pound of peaches, drain, remove the skins and stones. Prepare a sirup of sugar and water and when boiling hot drop in the peaches and cook until soft, then rub them through a sieve. Pour the sirup into a sponge cake and when well-soaked add the pulp carefully. Whip a pint of cream, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a teaspoonful of almond extract and pile lightly on top of the cake just before sending to the table. Fresh fruit may be used for this dessert, not cooking the fruit but stirring the sugar into the pulp after putting it through a sieve.

Bring gently to the boiling point and simmer for an hour. It may be bottled unstrained or if strained may be used as a relish or catsup. Onion Soup.—Take two large onions or four medium-sized ones and after slicing, fry them in three tablespoonfuls of fat. When the onions are soft, cook them quickly until brown, stirring all the time to keep them from burning. Then add a plint and a half of water and the same amount of skim milk. Add flour to thicken and serve poured over toasted bread and sprinkle with grated cheese. The cheese is an improvement especially if all water is used instead of milk and water in preparing the soup.

If you like capes and buttons you may have them along with your new fall suit; that is, if you will practice some self-restraint. Buttons appear in small companies not in regiments, as they did on suits for spring and about the widest of capes is that on the suit pictured here. Few models go to this length in capes and few exceed this in the number of buttons used. Suits have been presented in a great variety of designs from those on the severest lines, without trimming, to more formal models enriched with embroidery. Manufacturers appear to be of one mind as to coats: they are longer than they have been, and such decorations as they have appear at the sides of the skirt portion. Nearly all of them have patch pockets O 9 Something New in Blouses. Into the smart company of chic blouses for fall something entirely new has made its entry. It was announced under an unassuming but misleading title as the "peasant" blouse, but it should be rechristened for it looks the part of a princess garb. Whatever the source of its inspiration the new garment is dainty and elegant and has much distinction. As shown in the picture it is made of ivory-white georgette crepe and embroidered with light rose color and blue silk. It has many points of departure from current styles in blouses, but its sparing use of decorative features is just in keeping with the trend of things. Its decoration of independence begins with its manner of fastening, for it buttons up the back with close-set, round crochet buttons. The back is extended into a long peplum terminating in pockets at each side and conspicuous by its absence at the front. A very narrow belt, made of the crepe, buttons at one side and is ornamented with buttons set across the front. The sleeves are full with a narrow band of crepe headed with embroidery confirming them at the waist. There is a little embroidery on each pocket and at the bottom of the front of the blouse. The neck is round with a long tie made of deep blue satin tacked about --- of some sort, but there are exceptions to this rule. Skirts are narrower than they were and the approved length is six to eight inches off the floor. They are rarely trimmed. Attention is centered on coats and they are embellished with braid, chain stitching, embroidery, fur or fur fabrics that are good imitations of skins. The suit pictured is of heavy gabardine and its parallel rows of buttons are joined by chain stitching. It has a wide belt which falls to make an effort to lessen the size of the waist but adds much to the set and style of the coat. The new colors are quiet and plain cloths predominate.
