LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY MARTIAL AND CIVI MARTIAL LAW AND CIVIL JUSTICE (By ALVA A. SWAIN.) THE PEOPLE of the United States will generally approve of the sentences that were imposed on the members of the colored regiment who mutinied at Houston, Texas. At the same time the people of the country will demand that a similar punishment be meted to the white men who killed the Negroes in East St. Louis a few weeks before the occurrence at Houston. If anything, the acts of the white people in East St. Louis were far more grave than the acts of the Negroes in Houston. In no manner was either acts excusable and the military authority exercised wide judgment in inflicting a sure and quick punishment on the Negroes. If the civil population in East St. Louis fail to inflict a similar punishment on the men who were guilty of those murders and crimes, it will only go to show that our government falls down in certain circumstances and it will only go to increase the feeling that punishment is not fairly meted out. It would have been far better so far as the general feeling is concerned to have executed the white men in St. Louis and not executed the Negroes in Houston, because the white people are supposed to be better educated and better citizens from the fact that they have had a greater amount of opportunity. The Colored Regiment of which these members are a part has had a peculiar history in American National life. It was this regiment that went into the thick of the fight in San Juan and saved Colonel Roosevelt's regiment from total annihilation; later it was this regiment whose members mutinied during Roosevelt's term as President and a number of them were dishonorably discharged. A little over a year ago it was this regiment that fought the only battle that was fought in Old Mexico when we were trying to capture Villa and many of the colored boys who were arrested and convicted at the recent court-martial were the same ones who went for seventy-two hours without food and water on the hot sands of the Mexican desert in order to rescue some of their white soldier comrades. Then in August came the mutiny with its murders and final chapter which was written yesterday. On the dash on the field of battle and in bravery these men have not been excelled anywhere by American troops, but when off the field of battle, and another element in their nature is aroused, they are hideous in the commitment of crime. America THE COMMUNITY VOL. XXIV. feels grateful to them for what they did on the San Juan and in Old Mexico—but America cannot overlook what they do when they are under the influence of liquor and are aroused in their petty passions. Notwithstanding all this, fair play in America demands that every white man who was connected with the murder of a Negro in East St. Louis should pay the same price that has been paid by the Negroes for the Houston affair. If the East St. Louis murderers go unpunished or if they get away with a light sentence it will only increase the race hatred that already exists, and it will cause the Negro to justly feel that his people do not get a square deal in the final adjustment of matters pertaining to government. The execution, of thirteen Negroes will go a long way toward putting a stop to mutiny in any regiment in our national service. The execution of that many or a few more white people in East St. Louis would go a long way toward putting down the race riots that are started by white hoodlums, none of whom are as respectable as the Negroes whom they persecute. The officials of Illinois must feel the disgrace which the East St. Louis affair brought on them very keenly. There is just one way to erase that disgrace from the escutcheon of the doorplate of Illinois. That way is to ascertain who is responsible for the East St. Louis murders and to take those who were responsible out and hang them without any more ceremony, useless red tape or "dilly-dallying" than was shown their brothers in crime in Texas. (The above editorial appeared in the Pueblo Chieftain, one of the leading daily papers of Colorado, December 14, 1917.) THE MAY CO., THE MAN'S STORE. Very correctly named — "THE MAN'S STORE," as its outfitting department can make the man of the smallest stature or the Goliathic appearing gentleman attract attention by the superior style and finish of his garment. This firm, specializing in this manner for many years, has established a prestige in this and other states that will not be easily effaced. Always in season with the latest fashionable men's articles, the management is fully conversant with the art of catering to the most fastidious, and Christmas display is only one of the many generalities engaged in which brings its share of success. The increased patronage that has attended this firm thrus the civility of its clerical staff, its magnetic form of advertisement and the particular interest exhibited by the management which cannot but result in permanent success and stability of this—the leading men's outfitting store in the WEST.

Rivers, Editor, The Colorado Statesman, 1824 Curtis Street, Denver, Colo. My dear Sir: To me it is a source of very great pleasure and satisfaction to make note of the splendid support you have been good enough to accord me in connection with the recent appointment as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. I cannot tell you how much I value and appreciate the wholesouled support given by your valued newspaper and by the members of the Negro press generally. All that I can say is that I shall seek to be of the greatest possible service to Secretary Baker, to the Negro people, and to our country. May I not count upon you for frequent counsel and suggestion? I am serving merely in a representative capacity and I want you and all other loyal and patriotic Americans to know that I earn- estly desire your closest possible co-operation. We never fall to indorse as well as contribute our heartiest support to leaders and representatives as the above honorable gentleman, as no leader or representative of any people can be successful without the continuous counsel and suggestion of his followers or constituency, and knowing the Hon. Emmett Scott for several years, possessing the foundation stone of CO-OPERATION we will continue to do our part by him, as well as use the good and wholesome influence of this paper to insure him the support of every loyal and patriotic progeny of the dark-skinned race who is proud of his identity, is responding to the appeal with a determination to win recognition as one of the most invaluable assets of this great Republic.—Editor. Elizabeth City, N. C.—The Dare Lumber Co. is trying the experiment of using female labor in portions of its plant as a result of the scarcity of men. The ffrst crew of colored women has been put to work tying shingles in bumbles. Other local plants are said to be contemplating the employment of women of the race. RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources Baltimore. Md.—Judge Rose in the U. S. district court this morning declared that all federal courts must be bound by the U. S. Supreme court decision declaring race segregation ordinances unconstitutional and dismissed the case against Dr. Wm. B. Coleman, who was represented by attorney Warner T. McGuinn. This settles the local segregation ordinance. Camp Logan, Texas, Dec. 14.—The old Eighth infantry of Illinois is no more. Their new regimental numbers are from now on to be known as the 370th National Guard Infantry. Col. Denison and his staff were tendered a reception by the Houston Chamber of Commerce (white). Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 12.—The Thomas Railway Track Appliance Co., of this city put in an oil burning system for melting ore, but failed to get results. After several white experts failed, they tried Mr. L. P. Quinn, a colored expert of Fairfield, Ia., who produced desired effects in a few hours. He is on the job and is proving his efficiency as a melting expert of the highest type. He has had many years of experience in this line of work. San Antonio, Texas, December 11.—United States Deputy. Deputy Marshall Ratchford arrested Editors G. W. Bouldin and William L. Hedgewood, together with Mrs. C. L. Threadgill Dennis, wife of an Austin school teacher, under charge of violating the espionage act. Mrs. Treadgill Dennis wrote a pamphlet concerning the soldiers of the 24th infantry, and is alleged to have encourage sedition and discouraged enlistment. Bouldin and Hedgewood were editors of the San Antonio Enquirer. United States Commissioner H. M. Little placed the bonds at $1.000. As a part of the home guard for New York, the Fifteenth Infantry (colored) has recently been organized to take the place of the Fifteenth New York Regiment now in the Federal Service. Vetner W. Tandy, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, in the Class of 1905, has been appointed Major in this new Regiment. Major Tandy was formerly a Captain in the original Fifteenth New York National Guard. He has, for a number of years, been a successful architect in New York City. NO 18 Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 10. When Miss Josie Hallman, a colored woman entered a car last Monday, on the local street railway she found it crowded in the rear. She walked to the center and sat near a white woman who protested. A white man cursed her and attempted to drag her from the seat. Wm. Butler a colored working man defended her and in the riot that ensued was assaulted by a number of white men and stabbed to death. Miss Hallman was arrested and fined $25 for disorderly conduct. Many influencial colored citizens have taken up the matter, but the police are giving no assistance in apprehending the ruffians who committed the murder. Norfolk. Va., Dec. 8.—At a hearing in the police court of this city last Friday morning, Dr. Wm. A. Strole who conducts a drug store at the corner of Church street and Princess Anne avenue was held to the Grand Jury under $1000 for criminally assaulting a colored girl, Argyle Scott 8 years old. The girl was sent to the drug store to purchase postage stamps. The doctor told her he had no stamps but lured her to a rear room where he assaulted her and forbid her under pain of death to reveal it. He told her he was a fortune teller, and if she said anything he would know it and immediately kill her. The child, after much suffering revealed the matter to a married sister who lived a great distance from the store. The sister informed the mother at once and the mother, Mrs. Maggie Scott secured a warrant for Dr. Strole. Attorneys J. S. Baron and W. H. Land are prosecuting the case for the mother. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 15.—The entire membership of the Futon county exemption board has been summarily dismissed on orders from President Wilson on charges involving "unwarranted exemptions and discharges," and the case has been turned over to the department of justice. The men dismissed are Judge R. F. Thompson, chairman: S. J. Mitchell and Dr. C. M. Curtis. Major Mallet's statement said that out of 818 white men called in the county, 526 were exempted, 44 per cent of the exemptions being on physicals grounds. It was also charged that of 202 Negroes examined by the board only six were exempted. Gifts From SCHOLTZ'S Will Be Appreciated Scholtz's are ready for Christmas.

He'll bring us sleds and wagons, And nuts and sugar plums, And dolls, and furs, and dresses, And balls, and swords, and drums He'll come when we are sleeping, Tucked in our beds so white, And all the stars are peeping At this, our Christmas night. He'll come with smiles and blessings Along the milky way, And stop at every dwelling Where little children stay. He'll garnish trees with presents And, while the world is still, With gifts the children asked for Each stocking he will fill. But, better than all presents, He'll bring to us again The heartfelt Christmas wishes Of "Good will unto men." —Martha Coleman Sherman in Chicago Inter Ocean. His Gift to Santa Claus EDWARD was seven years old and believed, of course, in Santa Claus. Just before Christmas he had proudly written a letter (his first), stating the particular gifts he wanted, and after his mother had read it it was carefully put into the fire. "Now," said Edward's mother cheerfully, "that letter will go right up the chimney and direct to Santa Claus." Edward seemed very much impressed. Christmas morning the child was perfectly delighted with the shower of gifts and with the glittering tree. "Wasn't it good of Santa Claus to bring me so many more things than I asked for in my letter?" he said at the breakfast table, clasping his hands in an ecstasy. After this outburst he grew thoughtful, then, suddenly jumping up, disappeared into the kitchen. His mother and father looked at each other and wondered. Then the mother followed to see what the inspiration might be. She found Edward standing in front of the kitchen stove pouring out a cup of coffee. "Why, Edward, dear, what are you doing?" his mother asked, coffee being one of the child's "forbidden things." Edward looked up appealingly. "It is such a cold morning, mother—" "But, Edward, you know I never permit you to take coffee!" his mother interrupted. "No, no, mother; I do not wish to drink it. I want to give it to Santa Claus. He was so kind to send me more engines and things than I asked for. May I give him some coffee and rolls, mother—may I?" Before his mother had time to think of a suitable reply the child had put cream and sugar into the cup; then, with his little face all aglow with appreciation and gratitude, he earnestly poured the steaming coffee into the fire. “There now!” he exclaimed, with satisfaction. “That will go right up the chimney and direct to Santa Claus, won't it? And it will warm up his • • • little round belly That shook when he laugh'd like A bowl full of jelly— won't it mother?”—Lippincott's. Don't Say These Old Things at Christmas Don't Say These Old Things at Christmas DEAR me! It's a lucky thing Christmas comes only once a year. I don't know what we'd do if it came oftener. It isn't so much the value of a present as the spirit in which it is given. I hang my stockings up just to please the children. I dread telling them there's no Santa Claus. Let some one else do that. It never seems like Christmas to me unless it snows. I always try to give sensible gifts—something useful, that will be a reminder all the year. Money is always such an acceptable present. There isn't one of us who has so much that he can't take a little more. Don't you pity the poor at this time of the year? I do. Christmas and New Year's come so close together. It's too bad they could not be separated a little. Two holidays coming right on top of each other that way make it so hard, but then the children enjoy it. I never know what to give father. It's so hard to think of anything for a man. And my rich friends—they have everything already—Puck. Christmas Chimes. Ring out, ring out, O Christmas bells, Across the starlit, frosty night! Proclaim the message of good will, The story of the Prince of Light. The centuries roll on and on, And yet, returning Christmas time Awakes in each responsive heart Remembrance of the love sublime. Then keep the feast with hearty cheer, The feast of merry Christmastide, While faith and hope and love, these three, Within the heart of each abide. —W. G. Park in Good Housekeeping.

It's a good thing to keep right account of the expenditures. Some business concerns have a cost account for every line of the business. This avoids that consuming, non-responsible gulf called general expense or sundries. It makes every head of department responsible for every penny used. It's not tightness, it's just business. And when you know that every item is lown for accounting you are not likely to be careless in your expenditures. When you take the time to look over expenses carefully before you make them, fewer entries will be made. It's the unwatched outgo that puts the drain on the family purse.—Exchange. Flower Calendar. At Grasse, a town in southern France, the seasons are marked by harvests of flowers, for this is the center of perfume making. In February and March violets and jonquils are the crop. In the summer months roses, orange blossoms and tuberoses fill the air with sweetness. In the autumn lavender is carried to the factories in baskets, on donkey backs and in wagons. All of these flowers are treated in much the same way. They are stuck into pure white fat, which draws out all of their perfume. This fat becomes the basis for most of the pomades and perfumes for which Paris is famous. Will positively advance to 5c per share January 2. Why? Because the Company's holdings in Rogers County, Oklahoma, are increasing in value every day from development being made on every side. One company has drilled into 46 feet of rich oil sand in Section 11, less than half a mile from our Hester lease. A 75-barrel well came in a quarter of a mile north of our Hester lease. An Oklahoma City company is drilling on 40 acres adjoining our Graham lease on the south and our McSpadden lease on the east, and is expecting to reach the Bird sand or second sand at 550 feet. This company considers this 40 acres worth $12,000. We have 340 acres with the same prospects for oil. The Owl has the best of chances for a number of big wells.

Christmas Presents That Please Men LAST Christmas many a man decided his feminine friends were not worthy of the vote simply because they sent him such foolish, inappropriate gifts. On the other hand, a successful present makes an impression that never wears off. It is a little monument to the taste, intelligence and affection of the giver. Among the following suggestions is almost certain to be something which will please any man: If he shaves himself, one of the light, magnifying shaving mirrors which can be quickly and easily attached to a window or wherever the light is good. A trousers rack will please him greatly, especially if he is a bachelor and his closet room is limited. The furniture and department stores carry flat, wide, shallow cedar chests on wooden wheels which roll easily out from under the bed. This is particularly adapted to the college boy in his little dormitory room. For him also a sweater is a joy. A small kit of tools is a good present for almost any man unless he is a carpenter or a paralytic. One to half a dozen pairs of shoe trees are an inexpensive but grateful present. In case he has electricity in his house there is no end of good things for him--coffee percolators, bread toasters, clgar lighters, etc. If he has a car you may charm him with one of the new-fangled pneumatic or other cushions which are now sold to re-enforce the upholstery of the car. A lap robe or a vulcanizer or vacuum bottle or even a new horn may be just the thing for him. Very likely he has a telephone. If so get a little mahogany card index file and have some one (preferably you) look up the telephone numbers of the people in his address book and write them on the cards. A fountain pen for his desk would prove a convenience and a delight. Should you care to pay $10 you can surprise and please a man who has a little bit of accounting to do at home by giving him a pocket adding machine. For about the same price you can buy him a real, fool proof, portable shower bath. Metal wastebaskets are appreciated by men because a lighted cigar or cigarette dropped into them is not likely to bring the fire department. A frame for a cabinet-sized protograph will not be amiss if you are sure he wants your picture in it. But don't send him a necktie, nor a scarpin, nor a matchbox or he'll never forgive you; also restrain yourself from inflicting a pearl-handled penknife, a pocketbook (unless you are old and richer and can put something into it) or a box of cigars just as good as the kind he smokes.—New York American. Shop Early. It won't be long Before we say, "I'll buy my Christmas Gifts today!" —Baltimore Sun. And when night comes, As like as not, You'll swear and say, "I clear forgot." —Springfield Union. Or else you'll cry: "Alas, alas!" I wish I had My money back!" —Birmingham Age-Herald. Christmas the Same as Ever. Christmas time! That man must be a misanthrope indeed in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not roused—in whose mind some pleasant associations are not awakened—by the recurrence of Christmas. There are people who will tell you that Christmas is not to them what it used to be. . . Never heed such dismal reminiscences. . . Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. . . Our life on it, but your Christmas shall be merry and your new year a happy one.—Charles Dickens. Christmas of Long Ago IN the midnight sky a wonder; A star in the East aglow, And mellowest voice thereunder, Christmas of long ago. With gaze upraised the sages, Poor shepherds bending low; A rapture to light the ages, Christmas of long ago. O Child-God laid in the manger, Who bore no diadem; To the lords of earth a stranger— Outcast of Bethlehem! Thy message came to the lowly; Thy star was sent to the wise. And "Peace" and "Love" were the holy Words from the midnight skies. They filled the heart of one other, To its own sweet overflow; Peace and love to the mother, Christmas of long ago. Has Time's dust dulled its glory; Have tear mists blurred its rays? Is it now too old a story For hurrying, changing days? Oh, ever our hearts shall hearken To the angel's chant above, And never shall distance darken The star that shines in love. And ever shall smile the mother, Mother whose child was God; God, who took man for brother; Brother our ways who trod. Forever in joy completer Shall the clear, glad message show, And its angel voice sound sweeter— Christmas of long ago. —Joseph I. C. Clarke.

In extending its best wishes for Christmas happiness, etc., THE COLORADO STATESMAN in 1916 emphasized the blessing of peace attending our State and Nation, and expressed particular sympathy for the members of European countries who for the third time were experiencing a blood-stained season through the horrors of war. Little did we know that America would be compelled to enter this struggle, and ere four months of the current year would pass over us that our flag would be on the field of battle championing the cause of world-freedom, and asserting boldly that democracy which will put an end to mental serfdom among those compelled to live under the rule of monarchies whose order is imperative and absolute. For this reason, therefore, our Christmas greeting must take the form of thankfulness, that up to the present our loss is infinitesimal, our suffering of a minor degree when compared to those of our allies and enemies, and while we have just begun to take a practical stand in this appalling event, yet the burden of this conflict must surely fall on us in a greater form than we can conjecture, and hence we must say to our leaders, to our representatives at the front, to those who have shown such loyalty by giving up the supporters of the home, "Be of good cheer," for while the usual Christmas festivities may have a tinge of sorrow, the cause of our country's entry into this strife is sufficient to make us strengthen and cheer the hearts of one another in bringing to a successful and glorious termination an hostility unsurpassed and unparalleled in the world's history. To our subscribers, our advertisers and others at home and in foreign lands who have substantially maintained this news journal, we extend our best wishes for Christmastide, with the hope that whatever we have contributed to bring cheer, comfort and success to you through our columns may find a reflection in your further support, and a mutual cheerfulness that will make obligatory our interest in one another, our nation, our country; and having that confidence in the great and good GIVER AND PROVIDER of all things beneficial to us we again offer A CHRISTMAS CHEER that will be a solace to humanity in their "passing through the toils." CHRISTMAS AND AMERICA 1917 will mark a mile-stone in A than any of our great institu- st realized that its countless bl enger, but that humanity the we lited from a freedom which is passing the theoretical stage an ideals which are being felt our finds us giving a deeper t uples to make a sororite THE Christmas of 1917 will mark a mile-stone in American travel that will be more historic than any of our great institutions of the past, as our country has at last realized that its countless blessings must not be enjoyed selfishly any longer, but that humanity the world over must share in the joys that have resulted from a freedom which is taking such a form that "the land of the free" is passing the theoretical stage and reaching the practical by its humanitarian ideals which are being felt universally. Christmas this year finds us giving a deeper thought to the CHRIST SPIRIT, as we are called upon to make a sacrifice that will result in removing the shackles that have held fast for years the mentality of certain peoples; to render aid to war-stricken populations, relieving a distress unprecedented in the world's history; to give a test to the real worth of our democracy by correcting the ills, within our own borders, breaking down the barriers of racial differences, demonstrating that as we unite in the celebration of this great season of the year, so will we subordinate our individual classactions to the principles and truisms of the land which stands for an unparalleled freedom which is unfolding itself by the ready action of its people in the support being given to the most gigantic task ever undertaken—THE LIBERTY OF THE WORLD. Think of the success that has greeted the requests of our government in the over-subscription of funds to give us a logical standing with other nations in the prosecution of this war which we are determined to win as our governmental heads put it and as we endorse, "at any cost, if it means the last man and the last dollar;" view the almost wonder-working power of the AMERICAN RED CROSS organization, an ever-present angel of mercy wherever misery, desolation and death exist, obtaining a world-wide reputation, and now in its request for fifteen million members by Christmas Eve, we are going to give to America the greatest Christmas gift, and the world, a permanent memorial as a testimonial of the oneness of our aim and the unity of purpose in subscribing to this cause, which is filling an urgent need on the battlefield, and to which every loyal citizen cannot be too poor to contribute, the membership fee being so small. While there will be the usual manifestation of Christmas by the exchange of greetings among friends and the assembling of organizations in their annual events. Yet a particularity attaches to this year's celebration, as the action of a people in a common cause in which the peace of the world will be secured for generations to come will find a result in the purification of America, the overthrow of tyrannical despots and powers, and a durable peace that will restore the jollification engaged in by us the many years of our past national life. CHRISTMAS AND AMERICA IN 7917 will be indelibly stamped on our memory, and the speedy termination of the war by the devotion of Americans to America and UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY will create an unbroken affection that posterity will delight to preserve.

WESTBROOK, M. D. The KITCHEN CABINET She who always wants her own way is soon left to travel alone. Many a person is satisfied to rest up on the reputation of his ancestors. MORE WAYS WITH CHICKEN. We cannot afford to despise an old fowl, for there are many and appetizing ways to treat them. Time is all ways necessary to bring about good results. ```markdown ``` Ragout of Chicken.—Clean and disjoint a large fowl. Take the dark meat, feed from skin and bone, and put it through the meat chopper. Season well with salt and pepper, a few drops of onion juice, or a clove of garlic finely minced; then add a well-beaten egg. Make into small balls and set aside. Cover the bones and white meat with three cupfuls of boiling water and simmer gently until the meat is tender. Set aside, and when cooled cut the meat in dice. Blend together two heaping tablespoonfuls of sweet fat and the same amount of flour; when well browned add very slowly two cupfuls of chicken stock and stir until it thickens, then add salt and pepper, and a quarter of a teaspoonful of curry powder. Drop in the meat balls and cook for half an hour; then add the diced meat; cook 15 minutes longer. Dish and serve with rice. Chicken Pie.—A fine pie can be made using an old bird. First cook it as for a stew, adding a small slice of onion or a clove of garlic for flavor. Lay the chicken in the dish, season well and cover with the broth, not too much; then put biscuit closely together over the top, using any good baking powder biscuit recipe. There will be plenty of room for the gas to escape between the biscuit. Just before serving add a cupful of good thick sweet cream, making this a queen of chicken pies. Old fowls may be stewed, the bones removed and then cooked to remove all the gelatin; pour this broth, with the addition of a little gelatin, over the chicken and mold. When cold it may be cut in neat slices, served as a salad with salad dressing or as cold sliced meat. Hard-cooked eggs may be added to the mold if desired, making a most attractive dish when cut. Chicken soup may also be made from old fowl, and as there are few flavors in soups more appetizing than chicken it is a general favorite. One may always have a pint of broth left from almost any fowl, as it is improved by parboiling a short while even before roasting. Not in the clamor of the street. Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng. But in ourselves are triumph and defeat. ARE YOUR MENUS IN A RUT? The greatest help in planning a week's menus is the chance for variety, as it is easy then to see the lack of variety. An occasional meal may be left vacant which may be filled with leftovers from a previous day. BOTTLE The character of the menus depends upon the people who will eat it. Active children need hearty wholesome food, as do hungry men. Whenever a heavy main dish is served a light dessert should follow, and when a light dinner, a hearty dessert. Heavy salads fit into light luncheons and may often form the main dish, while a fruit salad makes a most acceptable dessert. Fat meats need acid fruits and tart flavors to cut them. Bean Soup—Cook a pint of white beans in two quarts of water until tender, add a stalk of celery, minced, a sprig of parsley and rub through a sleeve, season with bacon fat, salt, pepper, and half a cupful of sweet cream, serve hot. Lima Bean Soup.—Pick over, wash and soak over night sufficient beans, then cook slowly until soft enough to rub through a sleeve. Return the sifted beans to the fire, adding a spoonful each of flour and butter rubbed together, thin with hot milk, season with salt and pepper and add a little whipped cream. Any vegetable for flavor, like onion, parsley, or celery, may be cooked with the beans if desired for flavor. Bishop Williams Corn Bread.—Sift together one cupul each of cormeal and flour, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a half teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of cream of tartar and a half teaspoonful of soda. Add one cupul of sour cream, two eggs and beat vigorously, then bake in a hot oven 20 minutes. If sour cream is not available milk may be used with the addition of two tablespoonfuls of shortening. Sausage and Banana—Cook link sausages until well done and brown, take up and in fat cook bananas cut in halves crosswise, dredge with flour, and fry a golden brown, serve the sausages and bananas together. Always have a few ramekin dishes ready to take bits of left overs. With gravy to moisten, covered with buttered crumbs and baked they make nice luncheon dishes, and no two being alike, if it so happened, would not be a disadvantage.

TO SECURE NEW MEMBERSHIP OF 10,000,000 PERSONS. Governor Gunter, in Proclamation, Asks Coloradoans to Make Fine Showing in Worthy Cause. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Governor Gunter has issued the following proclamation: To the People of the State of Colorado: The president of the American Red Cross, the President of our nation, has set apart the week ending on Christmas eve as a period for adding 10,000,000 names to the 5,000,000 now constituting the membership of the Red Cross. The purpose of this movement is to enlarge and make more efficient this organization, which has given so bountifully and labored so zeaously in promoting the comfort and relieving the suffering of our soldiery, the soldiery of our allies and those in distress of all nations. Organized and controlled on business principles, officered by men and women of the highest character, this body is applying in its practical workings the teachings of the Christ. Colorado has its youth now in the training camps and on the battle fronts of Europe; Colorado has its high duty to our allies and to all humanity in distress; Colorado has made her generous and patriotic response to every call of our nation and state; Colorado will not be wanting in this appeal. As the governor of the state of Colorado, I call this duty to the consideration of our people, with the confident hope that our citizenship will generously respond and make the splendid showing in membership characteristic of Colorado's patriotic spirit and as the cause so justly merits.

Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of public instruction and vice chairman of the state war savings stamp committee, has written letters to each county superintendent of schools urging them to organize the thrift work in their schools "with all possible intensity." In other letters to the principals and teachers she has emphasized the significance of the work. "The schools of Colorado," she says in one," have already proved themselves to be an instrument of finest temper, ready for use in the mighty struggle for human brotherhood now going on." To the children themselves she has sent the message that any child who wins a badge of honor in the thrift campaign will be considered as having been decorated by the government of the United States with a mark of special honor.

Denver. — A momentary pang of jealousy, engendered, she says, by the sight of her lover in the company of another woman, coming as a culmination to a two-weeks' desertion and the spreading of alleged slanderous stories about her by the man, led Mrs. Laura Furneaux, aged 25, of 2655 Welton street, to press the trigger of her .22 automatic revolver and send three shots into the body of William Potter, 28.

The Union government has been returned and conscription confirmed by the Canadian domestic vote.
