LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY CAUCASIAN RAPISTS CONVICTED OF CRIME ONE MONTH'S RECORDS SHOW SEVEN NORTH CAROLINA WHITE MEN OUTRAGING WHITE WOMEN. VOL. XXVI. CAUCASIAN CONVICTE ONE MONTH'S RECORDS SHOW WHITE MEN OUTRAG TWO white men convicted of incest and three white men convicted of rape, all within the past month, is only a part of the record made by WHITE RAPISTS in North Carolina! From Mt. Airy, N. C., comes one of the most revolting stories the newspapers have ever had to record. Wesley Newman, a white farmer, with several grown daughters, was convicted of incest. The testimony showed that for three years Newman had compelled three of his daughters to submit to his lustful inclinations, threatening death if they resisted. He was sentenced to from thirty to sixty years in state prison. Another incest case was that of James H. Scott, a white carpenter, aged 54, who had, two years ago when the girl was only 12 years of age, made an attack upon his own daughter. Recently he attempted to commit the same crime against her daughter, and in self-protection she called in the police. From Asheville, N. C., comes the tale of a 5-year-old white girl who is under treatment by physicians for a venereal disease as the result of an attempted criminal assault by James Gaddy, aged 65, a white man said to be formerly from Greenville, S. C. Two Sentenced to Die. J. E. Cline, a white man, was convicted of criminally assaulting a young white woman and sentenced to be electrocuted on December 12th. An appeal to the Supreme Court has stayed the execution and Cline has been taken to the state prison. Johnston County people are strongly opposing the granting of clemency in the case of C. L. Godley. Godley is another white man who has been convicted and is under sentence of death for criminal assault, and his friends are asking Governor Bickett to exercise clemency. If the Johnston County citizens' opinion is regarded he will die for the crime which he committed. In Craven County a slightly different element enters into a case in the county court, as Carrie Fields, a white woman, is suing Walter Brinson, a white man, for $25,000 on the charge of robbing her of her honor, declaring that he is the father of her young child. She alleges that about two years ago he persuaded her to take an auto ride with him and forced her to submit to his desires. She charges also that he accomplished the same purpose at various other times. Went Auto Riding. The opportunity offered by an auto ride was also taken advantage of by Wm. Burke Roe, a 22-year-old white man of Franklinton, who was arrested and lodged in the Louisburg jail charged with having committed rape upon Eva Kearney, a white girl, 14 years old. It is alleged that while auto riding with the girl, Roe committed the assault at the Tar River bridge, and that the girl suffered so greatly from the rough usage to which she had been subjected that it was several days before she was able to make complaint against him. Under the name of "William Buck" this man appeared before Judge O. H. Guion in Raleigh in habeas corpus proceedings instituted by his council. At the hearing the defendant contended that the girl was not assaulted, but that immoral relations were had with the girl by her willing consent. The court released the defendant on $3,000 bail. Many other cases in other southern states have been noted during the same period, but it is not thought probable that any other state has given any more publicity to its white rapists of white women than has North Carolina. HOSIERY MILL CO. AT DURHAM STARTS WITH $200,000 CAPITAL DURHAM, N. C.-The John O'Daniel Hosiery Mills, to be opened here about January 1, 1920, will be run by Negroes. These mills will be an adjunct of the Durham Hosiery Mills and are a reorganization of the Bowling-Emory Knitting Mills, the entire stockholdings of which have been taken over by the Durham company. This deal was made through H. E. Perry of Atlanta, Ga., who represented the stockholders of the Bowling-Emory Company, and Julius S. Carr, Jr., president of the Durham Company. Tribute to Employé. The new company is named as a tribute of respect from the Carr family to the memory of the late John O'Daniel, a Negro, who for more than thirty years was a faithful attendant upon the late Mrs. J. S. Carr, Sr. President Carr states that in naming the mill after Mr. O'Daniel, the family desired to give recognition to the faithfulness and willingness of a servant who believed in devoting himself to a full day's work each day. Mr. Carr believes that this recognition will prove stimulating to the race in general, in that it will afford tangible evidence of the fact that the South will give full recognition to every man, regardless of race, who devotes his life to honest and faithful work. Mr. Carr is a son of Col. Julian S. Carr of Durham, a multi-millionaire, and is one of the strong friends of the National Training School for Negroes, of which Dr. James E. Shepard is president. The price paid for the Bowling-Emory stock is not made public, but President Carr announces that the John O'Daniel Mills will be capitalized at $200,000—$100,000 in preferred stock and $100,000 in common stock. Eleven acres of land near the plant have been purchased, on which fifteen houses will be erected for the use of the Negro employés who will work in the mills When the mills are opened there will be from 75 to 100 operatives employed, with 100 spindles running. The plant will produce from 250 to 300 dozen pairs of hose daily at the out- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1919 ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION State Hist. & Nat Hist No. State House nas and a L RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA set, but the plant will be increased to 350 spindles and more than 300 employés. CAUSES OF RACE RIOTING POINTED OUT BY FRANK NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—The finding of a recent investigation into the causes of race rioting in the United States, an investigation conducted by Glenn Frank, associate editor of the Century, showing how altered living conditions and the changed attitude of the Negroes themselves due to the war have enhanced the Negro problem, has just been published in the Century. Mr. Frank lists the new causes of race riots as follows: "The great influx of southern Negro labor into northern industrial centers. Inadequate housing facilities for the new Negro population in the centers to which the migration has led, with the usual results of congestion in the breeding of those types of qualities that readily yield to the rioting impulse. The overflow of Negroes from crowded colored colonies into white residential blocks, with a resulting depreciation of property values as far as white occupancy is concerned, and the inevitable inter-race irritation. The exploitation of Negroes by real estate agents, both black and white in the boosting of rentals and purchasing prices. The impressions left upon the minds of our returning Negro soldiers by the measure of social equality which they enjoyed in France, and the inevitable contrast they are drawing between that attitude and the attitude they find upon their return. An intensified race pride and race consciousness on the part of the American Negro resulting from his having done his share as soldier and civilian in the war. "A new sense of the possibility and freedom of movement which the Negro acquired from having learned that a southern Negro apparently can stand the northern climate and make a living in the new surroundings. A freshened resentment on the part of the Negro against his social and industrial limitations when he thinks of them in the light of the ideals of freedom, democracy and equality for which he fought. "The stimulus to social equality aspirations growing out of the relations between blacks and white prostitutes who have moved into Negro districts following the breaking up of segregated vice districts in cities, as in Chicago, together with the resentment aroused among nearby whites. The irritation of many of our returned soldiers when they find their old jobs held by Negroes, while they are having difficulty in getting back to work. A conflict of interests between non-union Negro labor and organized white labor." A changed attitude on the part of the Negro that nourishes the idea of revolutionary methods for the attainment of his aspirations, an attitude fostered by one wing of Negro leadership, and cultivated by ultra-radicals who dream of a social revolution in the United States. "Is there a solution for the Negro problem? It is folly to hope for quick solutions," Mr. Frank opines. He goes on, however, to urge as remedial measures: (1) that the Negroes follow leaders like Booker T. Washington rather than the fire-brand type of Negro; ORIGINAL (2) that industrial training be accorded to all Negroes, and fair treatment given to Negro workers when they enter into competition with whites; and (3) that joint councils of blacks and whites be organized to deal with inter-racial problems. JIM CROWDED AFTER DEATH. Hearse Refused to Colored Woman in Oklahoma. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public the following extracts from a letter showing that discrimination against colored people does not end with death; "Sunday, November 16th I attended a funeral at Vinita, Oklahoma. The undertaker would not hire his hearse to the lady as they do not allow colored people to use the same hearse that white people ride in. The one they have been using for colored people has worn out, therefore she sent to Chetopa, Kansas, and hired one." BOULDER NEWS (By Ty Cobb.) Prof. C. A. Biggers, president of Biggers' Business College of Denver, paid us a visit last week and made an interesting talk. He hopes to form a class here in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Horner made a flying trip to Denver Monday. Mr. Vinson Smith of Denver is visiting in the city to spend the holidays with his mother, Mrs. M. Smith. Mr. Taylor White was buried last week. Mr. Dick Morrison, S. Smith, Mr. Dirbin and Earl Johnson were pall-bears. Rev. H. C. Henderson preached the funeral. Every one is expected to be out to Allen's chapel Christmas eve, to the literary and concert. An excellent program is assured. DEARFIELD A. M. E. CHURCH Special Christmas services will be held at the Dearfield A. M. E. Church Sunday, December 21st, at 11:30 a.m. The program will be varied, consisting of recitations, Christmas music and essays. The Christmas sermon subject will be, "The Glorified Manger." Dr. R. L. Pope will conduct his first quarterly meeting Sunday, December 28th. A high day in Dearfield is anticipated. REV. A. C. MURPHY, Pastor. ALLEGED MURDERER ARRESTED IN CASPER. Dennis Humphreys, Negro, alias Dennis Allen, alleged to be the murderer of Mrs. Gussie Watson, Negress, at 2152 Arapahoe street, May 11, 1918, has been captured in Casper, Wyo. Word to this effect was received Tuesday night by Chief of Police Hamilton Armstrong from the police authorities of Casper. Mrs. Watson, a bride of one day, was shot by Humphreys, a discarded sutor, while her husband and her two children by a former marriage booked on in the Watson home. He is said to have fired one shot at Watson, and to have emptied his pistol at the woman as she cowered in a corner. DISGRUNTLED GERMAN BIDS AMERICA ADIEU TAUNTS UNITED STATES OF MISTREATMENT OF COLORED CITIZENS AND PROPHESIES A DAY OF RECKONING FOR WHOLESALE KILLINGS. NEW YORK, Dec. 10th.—A very interesting letter appeared recently in the New York Tribune from a German, who was about to leave America. He said in part: "Sir: Just a few more days and I shall be happy to leave your country as one of the first, following your often repeated advice that every German better seek other quarters. Of course you failed to comprehend that the oceans were closed to us, as well as other countries bordering on your own, in particular Mexico, owing to your government's restrictions issued against us. "I shall sail away and I assure you many hundred thousands will follow with hatred in their hearts for America. "On our homeward voyage we again will have the doubtful privilege of passing your Statue of Liberty, but we will see the old lady with a malicious grin on her face trying to hold back her laughter at the fools that expected to find America the land of opportunity and freedom. "In Germany I have a mission to perform. "I shall undertake to explain to a large audience why they should stay away from this country. "I shall describe the sufferings, the humiliation, your fanatical orgy of manufactured patriotism which we Germans and German-speaking people went through. "Last year your country, the so-called 'land of the free and the home of the brave,' lynched sixty-two human beings, among them Prager and fifty-eight Negroes. Some day, and the day is not far away, you will have to account for the wholesale killings of your colored brothers; and I assure you at the first opportunity the colored South will throw off your misrule and create its own free, independent government. "Yes, we Germans will help them; we will help anyone arrayed against you just as much as you have helped others to strike down a nation at a time it was bleeding out of ninety-nine wounds. "Just as the heart of South America hates you and as much as every soul in Panama, Columbia, Mexico, Japan and many other countries detests you, just as much, and if possible to a much greater degree, we Germans hate you, until the day when we can settle accounts with you. "They will and must be settled." FOR LAW AND ORDER. If we cannot make the United States safe for Democracy, how can we hope to do this for Europe, or for Asia, or for Africa? The business of liberation, of rescuing people from oppression, like charity, should begin at home. I am thinking of the riots, lynchings, and kindred outrages that have followed one another with such sickening rapidly during the past few months at Washington, Chicago, Omaha, Elaine, and elsewhere. Here is something for which, as citizens, we NO.10. are all in some measure responsible, and against which, as good citizens, and must all fight. What can be done? First, every one of us can and should protest. Especially is this a time when the white men, of the South and of the North, should leave no one in doubt where they stand: whether for law and order, for decency and justice and humanity, or against these fundamentals of civilization. The kind of people who make np a mob are not such as should intimidate any American who has red blood in his veins and courage in his soul. We applaud the occasional sheriff who defies the members of the mob—are we sure that we should be equally brave? On the other hand, let me say, just as frankly and emphatically, that the colored people of this country owe it to themselves and to their friends to make it indisputably plain—as they usually do—that they are not countenancing or excusing any deeds of wanton violence or criminal reprisal by members of their own race. Self-defence is one thing; murder is another. The lawless man, whether white or black, is the enemy of society. He must be restrained and sternly punished for the sake of the whole community.—James E. Gregg in the Southern Workman. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The big Y. M. C. A. membership drive is drawing to a close. Nearly nine weeks ago the branch went out to bring in a membership of 500, Christmas eve night, the time of the closing of the drive, will find their work completed and the quota gained, provided the workers are not prevented by severe and inclement weather. The drive is the most important in the history of the branch in that it is almost wholly for the purpose of propaganda. The board of directors, William E. Sweet, president, are preparing to put on a huge campaign for the purpose of raising $75,000 to meet the conditions of the Rosenwald offer of $25,000 towards a $100,000 building for the colored men and boys. They sent our men out to raise a membership of 500 to prove the earnestness of the colored citizens and to give them a strong argument when the appeal is made. It becomes, then, a matter for the colored men themselves to consider. There are hundreds of young men and others who have not yet joined who should do so before the drive officially closes. The program last Sunday was a great success, and drew a crowd of 250 people. It was on a high order and every one went away greatly pleased. All regretted so much that Mr. Robert De Frantz one of the international secretaries, could not reach the hall in time to have spoken a word to the audience. The program tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be highly helpful and instructive, and will be under the auspices of the different lodges of the city. It will be an open meeting, open to all. The program begins promptly at four o'clock. Both men and women are invited. ia Something Electrical Is Always Preferred In the wide assortment and price range of Electrical Gifts now on display in our show rooms you are bound to find the answer to your holiday shopping perplexities.

Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado The consumption of sugar has increased a thousand-fold in the modern world over what it was in the quiet old days that were be- fore the invention of rapid transit and telephone and wireless— because sugar is the only food on which we can “keep up the pace.”’ We are confronted with an increase in the consumption of sugar which we are trying to care for with a decreased production of beet sugar throughout war-striecken Europe and Russia. Until at least the pre-war production of sugar is re-established and a substantial increased production in the United States is ac- complished, it is doubly important to guard against any waste of sugar. One acre of American farm land must be made to produce twice as much as formerly. We call your attention to the fact that one aere of well-bal- anced western American farm land growing sugar beets not only prepares it for the maximum production of crops a subsequent year, but produces American sugar for American people,.and also pro- duces in addition sufficient feed in the form of by-products to fatten from one to two American steers or ten to fifteen American sheep. We operate sugar factories serving the agricultural communi- ties in the vicinity of the following towns: BRIGHTON, LONG- MONT, LOVELAND, FORT COLLINS, WINDSOR, GREELEY, BATON, FORT MORGAN, BRUSH, STERLING, COLORADO; BAYARD, SCOTTSBLUFF, GERING, NEBRASKA; LOVELL, WYOMING ; BILLINGS, MISSOULA, MONTANA.

Ol hear the silv'ry bells! How softly rare upon the air Their mellow chiming swells! Behold the skies whose million eyes Through silent spaces peer, Like brilliant gems, fair diadems High set in vesper sphere. LET us be merry and happy and gay, And welcome the Prince with a sweet virelay; We'll garner the holly and ever be jolly, For blessed is He Who is coming today. The bells we'll ring, to bliss we'll cling. Our myrrh we'll bring to greet the King. For blessed is He Who is coming today; Cheerily chant Him a sweet roundelay, Merrily, merrily, merrily! IS Christmas morn! 'Tis Christmas morn! How swift the hours fly! And winged-fleet on magic feet They vanish like a sigh; Now dreamy-dim o'er Orient rim The gold-fringed eyes of morn Shed loving light on drowsy night Ere yet the day is born. Now gleams the star whose beams afar Weave Heaven's silver hem. How dove-demure, how seraph-pure, Bright Star of Bethlehem! HEN let us be peaceful and joyous and gay, And welcome the Prince with a sweet virelay; We'll garner the holly and ever be jolly. For blessed is He Who is coming today. The bells we'll ring to prayer we'll cling. Our incense bring to praise the King. For blessed is He Who is coming today; Soulfully sing Him a sweet roundelay, Merrily, merrily, merrily! Christmas Joy UZANNE! Please!" NASA "I won't do it!" Suzanne said very promptly. "But you don't know what 'it' is," Nancy objected. "Granted. But I haven't known you intimately from the age of five years and seven months without learning the implications of your voice. I repeat it: I—will—not—do it!" Nancy's pretty eyes darkened. "Oh, Suzanne dear, if you knew how much I want it! You just couldn't refuse me! You couldn't! It would make me happier than anything I could think of." "I suppose I can let you tell me," said Suzanne relenting, "although I warn you that I know you're just 'getting round me' and I'd be much wiser to hold to my original position." "Nancy's face fashed into radiance. Nancy, happy, was always irresistible. "You will be good and sweet and big and generous and let me have my way! Oh, I knew you would! It's about Christmas, Suzanne. You see, while your father has been piling up a fortune my dear dad has been having hard times, and we are all having to be very careful. It isn't anything dreadful, you know, so long as we one another and the home; but there isn't much margin for extras. So I can give only a tiny little gift—it cost me exactly 49 cents in money—and please, please, please, Suzanne, be good and do the same to me! You know it's you I love; not the lovely gifts you shower upon me. Christmas isn't money; it's loving." Suzanne put her hands on Nancy's shoulders and looked down into the pleading eyes. "I can use your argument, too," she answered. "If Christmas is loving, not gifts—and you know I agree with all my heart—then why are you making it a thing of even exchange in dollars and cents? Are you doing it for my sake?" "N-no," Nancy faltered. "Only—" "You know the money is nothing to me—that the coy joy I can get from it is to use it to grant the little wishes that those I love have wished, or for things that I know they'd love even if they haven't actually wished them. Would you rob me of that, dear? Is it fair—when it's Christmas? If you happened to have the money instead of me, would you want to have the one joy of it taken from you?" For a long, long moment Nancy was silent. Then she looked up with a bright smile. "I surrender, Suzanne," she said. It was an exquisite gift that shone up at her from the little white box Christmas morning—a pink tourmaline pendant set with pearls. Beneath was Suzanne's card: "I bought it long ago because it looked so like you, Nancy dear. But it is you who are giving me the real gift—the joy of sending you this." Nancy lifted it to the light. It was the loveliest thing she had ever had, but the heart of the joy was that it meant joy to Suzanne, too.—Youth's Companion.

IVE DAYS HENCE and we come again to the celebration of our great F annual festivity— Christmas Day, the day which signifies so much of goodness to us as we commemorate the birth of our Savior, “Heaven's: greatest and best gift to the sons of earth.” This occasion of rejoicing, marking the happiest event of the year, finds us in a position to extend our best wishes and sincere greetings to the people of Denver, especially when we remember a year ago we were among the sick ones, and the kind remembrances, good cheer and inquiries about our health made us realize what rich blessings are attendant with this season of joy and what it takes to make one happy. Immediately preceding our Christmas enjoyment much suffering has been borne, and in several cases are being borne owing to the greatly in- creased prices of articles of food and clothing; also the terrible coal strike, which has left in its pathway sufferings almost indescribable, and even death, so that there could be no better opportunity than the present for those of us who aré more fortunate to bestow our gifts and offer cheer and comfort to our fellow-citizens who will surely bring happiness to us by our action of making them happy. We endeavor to do our part and request others to do whatever they can, not necessarily in the form of charity, but with a gracious feeling prompted by the love similar to that which made us recipients of the precious gift of 2,000 years ago. The spirit actuating the gift counts by far more than the costliness, and there- fore out of the largeness of our generosity we invite our citizens to glad- Gen the hearts of those also who are outside the pale of immediate rela- tives, friends and acquaintances. ‘The church, we are made to understand, will play a greater part than ever, as with the practical Christian methods that are engaging their thoughts as well as the great inter-chureh movement, demonstrating more of brotherly love and the fulfilment of the Great Leader's teachings, this festive season will, with the carrying out of their plans, fill a larger place in the hearts of men, The Colorado Statesman is therefore glad of this glorious opportunity to say Merry Christmas! and hopes that not only will gladness abound in the lives of our Denver people, but throughout our great United States, and may the blessings and peace of this Christ- mastide be the nucleus of a better fellowship and loyalty one to another, forgetting the dreaded past with its turmoil and confusion and opening up in the coming year a phase of Americanism consistent with the doc- trine of our Constitution, knowing no creed, color or any previous condi- tion of servitude, where RIGHT will prevail and MIGHT trodden and crushed, to be heard of no more in this GREAT WESTERN CIVILIZA- TION OF OURS. « ‘THE SUGAR INDUSTRY OF THE WEST. ‘P18 NOW an established fact that the sugar industry of the West comes I in for more than passing notice as year after year the results of its development are furnishing evidences of a backbone support to our agricultural production. ‘The 1919 estimate indicates that more sugar was consumed by the American people than in any preceding year, and to this increased amount the Rocky Mountain region has contributed a very fair proportion, ‘The beet of our Western country is not only holding its own in the great march of competition with other industries, but in response fo the law of indestructibility of matter, every part of the beet furnishes a usefulness to the producer as well as the consumer, and hence as it is stated, the high cost of living prompts the admonition—save the beet tops in the field and save the sugar extracted from the beets, that we may have more meat and sugar, to help ourselves and allies at peace as we did in war, until the present world shortage of sugar has been overcome by other nations through some sources other than our own, It can therefore be maintained that the sugar industry is the balance of power to sustain well-balanced agriculture in this country, and when being confronted with the fact that the consumption of sugar has increaséd one thousand fold in the modern world over the quiet old days, also our own rapidly increasing consumption, there must be a substantial increased production in the United States to meet this condition. At the beginning of the late world war the world used over 16,000,000 tons of sugar an- nually, and fully one-half of this great amount was produced in Europe from sugar beets; and now, after five years of war conditions and its after- math, it is clear that the sugar-producing countries cannot quickly restore this industry, and eventually America will be called upon to do the need- ful. The Rocky Mountain West is playing a part and can play a greater in contributing to this demand, as statistics show that a large shipment is being carried on to the Central West and East to meet the urgent needs of this country, and therefore every encouragement should be given the production of the beet sugar which is being credited as an invaluable asset of great economical and agricultural importance to the nation, with its one hundred per cent sweetness. Beet sugar is really produced in the field. The sugar factory is an important adjunct to any well-balanced ggricultural community to recover the sugar in commercial form, and so these various agencies contributing to the growth of this great industry prove without a doubt that the GREAT WESTERN SUGAR COMPANY, our leading manufacturer, is interested as much as the farmer to increase the tonnage of production in the form of sugar beets or other crops. When we shall realize the importance of the individual’s part in guarding against waste, then will also be realized the greatness of our Western sugar-producing country and the help we can give to ourselves and the world.

Whistling for Wind. Everybody is familiar with the «ld superstition of sailors that, to. bring a favorable breeze, they must whistle during the calm. From the remotest times there seems to hnye prevailed a belief that lbation or sacrifice wonld: placate the storm spirits and induce them to permit the vesesl to proceed unmolested on its course, Russian sailors have been known to pour oat- meal and water over a recky promone tory in erder to obtain a wind favor able to their designs.

And if one poor, lone, sensible woman sits | down and flatly refuses to kill herself working for Christmas, her family aud friends will think she is a quitter—a social slacker.” “Well,” suggested her husband, “why “not let the rich people have all the | fiias and feathers, and let those in medium circumstances realize they can't keep up that pace?” “You don't understand,” said the woman with the brown eyes; “as long as rich folks do it, those less able will strain to do likewise. ‘That's why the wealthy people will have to see the trend and institute a change. “In place of so many mere ‘presents’ we must give such things as love, cour- age, kindness and generous Impulses— things which our present physical and mental strain forbids, ‘Throughout the rest of the year, if any one felt in- clined to send a regular gift to a friend or relative, that could be done very easily and the recipient would know it was a voluntary, not @ com- pulsory, remembrance.” “It's a great idea,” said the brown- eyed woman’s husband, cheerfully. “A bit of real affection in place of some of the monstrosities now exchanged would be a great improvement.” “You can make fun {f you want to," she replied, “but when the world wakes up to the real meaning of Christ- mas—and the war I believe has helped to wake it up—you'll see the effect spread over the entire year. Then the first of January won't be asso- ciated with bills and pills, but with the genuine eagerness to live the next 12 months better than those preced ing.” “In the meantime,” sighed her hus band dramatically, “I hope you haven't bought me another smoking Jacket.” “That reminds me!” said the womar with the brown eyes. “I haven't tims to be sitting here talking.

This 1s a great pity, for carols are a branch of folk music, the unconscious art of the peasant mind, a heritage of inestimable worth, In many English villages there are carols pecullar to themselves, to be Jenlously guarded and retained for their use, ‘The Christmas carol dates from the birth of Christianity itself, the angels having sung thelr carols at the birth of Jesus Christ. Among the early Christians carols were sacred hymns representing Christ's nativity. Now the name Is given to a variety of popular met rical compo sitions from the simple record of the birth of our Lord to rude was- sail songs and rhymes of holiday Now the name is pr dda eg given to a variety PS of popular met. aye be rical compo a2 , OH sitions from the 2X Beg Oe simple record of Pyaar sy the birth of our “4 a Lord to rude was- @ Sh rhymes of holiday = revelry. Probably no Christmas would seem complete without the well-known and popular hymn, “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing.” The word carol, which originally meant a dance, Is thought to have come into our language either from the Norman French carole or from the Celtic carol. In 1822 Davies Gilbert published “some ancient Christmas carols, with the tunes to which they were former- ly sung in the west of England.” In his preface he declared himself to be desirous “of preserving them in their actual forms, as specimens of times oe Lae at tee Dy een and of religious feelings now su- perseded by oth- ers of a different caste.” Of late years some of the churches — chiefly in the larger cit- ies—have held ete ma a - and of religious a sz feelings now su- 4 So) perseded by oth- Pi ¥ ah ers of a different xs ap caste.” Agar? Nes Of late years ae = some of the Wis == churches — chiefly Maratea in the larger cit- VR aSeeniy ies—have held “Christmas carol services” during the Christmas sea- son. ‘This 1s an excellent movement, and might profitably be taken up by churehes all oyer the country. Cer- tainly if the churches can restore this old custom it will add to the enjoy- ment of the season. France is exceptionally rich in carols, which are often drinking songs as in many European countries. We find many French carols translated into English, no doubr as a result of the intercourse which existed between dwellers on eithe- side of the channel, in the days when English youths often pursued thelr studies in France. There is a great deal of discussion as to which 1s the most popular carol. EERIE OTE TONELLI NRA Champa 1791 Champa 4860} MILLER & WORK) 4 > Stocks, Bonds, b 2 Investments Y 934 17th St., E. & C.

Among modern compositions may be mentioned, “The Shepherds Left Their Sheep,” by Alfred Hollins. Mr. Hollins is blind, but this afflietion has not prevented him from becoming one of the finest organists and com- posers in Britain. Washington Irving in his famous “Sketch Book” Introduces us to most of the old English customs which have from time immemorial, attended the Christmas festival. Of his first night at Bracebridge Hall he says: “1 had scarcely got into bed when a strain of music seemed to break forth in the air just below the win- dow. I listened, and found it pro- ceeded from a band, which I conclud- ed to be the waits from sors, neigh boring village. They went around the house piaying under the windows.

The host ordered no man at the table to drink a drop “till he that was master over his wife should sing a carol.” A pause ensued and then one poor male, more daring than the others, timidly lifted his lonely voice. ‘Phe knight then turned to the ladies who sat at a table apart, and “bade her who was master over her hus- bana,” sing a carol. The legend says that forthwith “the women fell ail to singing, that there was never heard such a catter-walling piece ¢f music kel?

Then somebody dug up the fact that away back in 1736, parliament incorporated a lottery through which the beginnings were made toward establishing the British museum. --- 2650 WELTON STREET Fresh Meats of the Vegetable Cannot Beat in the City 25¢ High Grade Sugar 25¢ Boiled Ham, Slice 17½¢ Salt Side, per p 17½¢ Baby Veal Steak 15¢ to 17½¢ Hamburger Steak 27½¢ Mixed Sausage, Pork Sausage, pounds for 75¢ 28¢ Wieners, per p 25¢ Bologna, per p 15¢ Veal Loaf, per 20¢ Head Cheese, p 15¢ Beef Livers, per 12½¢ Calf's Liver, per 35¢ Hog Liver, per $3.15 Tongues, per p $1.65 Brains, Two Se 30¢ Spare Ribs, (lin Fresh Fish—Fresh Dairy Are Right PLAY OF FRESH POULTRY—Prices Compared With Other B.

The chain is cut and one end attached to the sprocket, while the other end is secured to a coil spring from the lower frame. In this way the rider simply pushes the pedal down, and the spring draws it up again, and the usual rotary motion so difficult for the one-legged rider is eliminated.

A varied diet will not promote health, resistance to disease or efficiency and longevity in the same degree as a diet containing liberal amounts of milk and leafy vegetables.—McCollam. Who could imagine the holidays without candy? Candies made at home are doubly delicious and usually more wholesome. One may have an elaborate equipment or one which is very simple. A few wooden spoons, a thermometer, a few bowls and basins and a few aluminum saucepans, a set of cookies, and a One may have an elaborate equipment or one which is very simple. A few wooden spoons, a thermometer, a few bowls and basins and a few aluminum saucepans, a pair of scissors and a candy hook to pull the boiled sugars on. some bon-bon cases; these may be saved from time to time, saving the buying. The candy thermometer is of the greatest convenience; it is made of wood and copper or brass and registers 320 degrees. When boiling sugar the steam of kettles and pans should be avoided. A clear bright day is best. When sirup is cooked to a high degree of heat it is apt to sugar. Cream of tartar and glucose or a few grains of citric acid added to the mixture will keep it from graining. A tablespoonful of glucose, a quarter of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar will be enough for a pound of sugar. The making of fondant is the most important step in candy making. It is used in many ways, both as a covering and also as filling. It is far wiser if one has no thermometer to make the fondant in small quantities. To four cupfuls of sugar add half a cupful of water and a tablespoonful (heaping) of corn sirup or glucose, or a bit of cream of tartar. Let it boil, washing down the sides with a swab to keep the grains from forming, until when a drop is added to cold water it makes a ball which can just be handled. Pour it carefully, not scraping the dish, into a buttered platter and let it cool until it can be handled. Stir with a wooden spoon from the edges to the center until it is all creamy and smooth. Then pack in a bowl, cover with a buttered paper and set away for a day or two. It is now ready for any of the flavors, colors or kinds one wishes to make of it. The softer the fondant the more delicious it is for the filling of chocolate creams. Chill the fondant and mold in balls; chill again and dip quickly in melted chocolate. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. The national song of China is that sung by its teakettles, and our poets liken it to the echoes of a cataract muffled by clouds, a distant sea breaking upon the rocks, a rainstorm sweeping a bamboo forest, or the soughing of the pines on a distant hill.—Dr. Wu Ting Fang. A little care and thought in the arrangement of food will make of a very common dish something worth while. With sugar keeping up in price it will be hoove almost any householder to wipe a bee." A With sugar keeping up in price it will be hoove almost any householder to "keep a bee." A hive in an attic will prove a most valuable addition to the family larder. And when one may take sixty pounds from a hive it seems quite worth while to learn how to care for a hive of bees. Honey Custard.—Beat two eggs, add half a teaspoonful of salt and one-third of a cupful of strained honey, two cupfuls of milk and mix thoroughly. Turn into four custard cups and set in a dish on folded paper with cups surrounded with boiling water. Let bake in a moderate oven until firm in the center. Apricot Omelet.—Press canned or stewed apples through a sieve to fill a cup. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter. In it cook two tablespoonfuls of flour and one-fourth teaspoonfuls of salt. Add the cupful of apricot purée and stir well. Add gradually to the yolks of five eggs beaten very light, then fold in the stiffly beaten whites. Melt one tablespoonful of butter in a smooth omelet pan, turning the pan to have the sides well greased. Pour in the apricot mixture and cook on the top of the stove for two minutes, then set in the oven. Cook until done to the center. Score at right angles and fold at the scoring. Turn on a hot platter. This will serve eight. Potato and Mackerel Salad.—Flake cooked salt mackerel, using half as much fish as potato cubes. Mix a pint of potato with half a grated onion and the flaked fish (one cupful), a table-spoonful of finely minced parsley, one dill pickle chopped fine, one cupful of mayonnaise and half a cupful of whipped cream with a teaspoonful of horseradish. Garnish with sliced canned tomatoes. Shirred ·Eggs Creole Style.—For three eggs cut half a green pepper and half an onion in shreds. Cook in a tablespoonful of butter until soft. Add three-fourths of a cupful of cooked strained tomato, and salt to season. Turn into egg dishes and into the tomato break a fresh egg. Set in the oven to cook until the egg is set. Serve at once.
