THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Presidential Candidates Do not Declare Themselves On Issues Raised by Colored People VOL. XXVI. Presidential O not Declare On Issues Colored The two candidates who replied to the association's questionnaire were Senators Harding and Poindexter, the former stating that it was not consistent with his views to take up the categorical questions asked by the association, that conventions are called upon to enunciate platforms and policies and that the candidate selected must be expected to stand on the platform thus made. Senator Poindexter stated that he was "in favor of maintaining the legal rights and opportunities of all our citizens, regardless of color or condition." Despite the repetition on March 12 of the questionnaire, no further replies have been received except acknowledgments of the receipt of the questionnaire by secretaries of five of the candidates. "The questions asked by the association on behalf of the colored people of America," says the association in its statement, "are regarded by colored voters as vital national issues to twelve million America. Negroes. Failure to reply to these straightforward questions will be regarded by the colored people as a distinct evasion of the issues upon which they feel deeply." The questionnaire was sent to the following men: Herbert Hoover, William G. McAdoo, Governor Goodrich of Indiana, Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University; Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, Senator Hitchcock, Governor Cox of Ohio, Senator Warren G. Harding, Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Senator Hiram W. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION Johnson, Senator Miles Poindexter, Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts and General John J. Pershing, Senator Pomerene, James W.

Following is the questionnaire as sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to presidential candidates: "If elected President: 1. Will you favor the enactment of laws making lynching a federal offense? 2. What is your attitude toward the disfranchisement of Americans of Negro descent: (a) Will you advocate that Congress enforce the fourteenth amendment and reduce the representation of states which disfranchise their citizens or (b) will you advocate the appointment of United States commissioners to enforce the fifteenth amendment? 3. Will you endeavor to bring about the abolition of "Jim Crow" cars in interstate traffic? 4. Will you withdraw armed or other interference with the independence of Haiti? 5. Will you urge national aid to elementary education, without discrimination against Negro children? 6. Will you pledge the apportionment of Negro soldiers and Negro officers in the armed forces of the United States in proportion to their numbers in population? 7. Will you abolish racial segregation in the civil service of the United States?" THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has sent the following statement to its 320 branches in forty-two states, and requests the colored press of the country to give full publicity to the matter in order that all colored ex-service men may be informed of the educational opportunities which are open to them through the Young Men's Christian Association Educational Service: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People believes that more publicity should be given to the fact that ex-service men who may be unable to afford the kind of education they would like to have, can secure an education without expense to themselves by taking advantage of scholarships provided for their benefit by the Young Men's Christian Association. This scholarship plan has been in effect since November 1, 1919, and is financed by the unexpended balance of funds raised for educational work in the war campaign. This balance amounts to $5,000,000. Two million dollars has been appropriated for use in 1920. The apportionment for each state and locality is based upon two cents per capita of population, white and colored. For the administration of this fund the country has been divided into five regions, with state committees in each state and local committees in the local communities.

A bulletin issued by the Y. M. C. A., entitled "Free Educational Service for Demobilized Men," states that approximately 70,000 scholarships for both races are available for deserving applicants. Ex-service men, it is said, may have opportunity for instruction in Y. M. C. A. schools, but also free scholarships are offered in other approved schools of similar grade in technical schools, colleges and universities. Correspondence courses in the Extension Division in Y. M. C. A. schools are offered applicants unable to attend school or college. Ex-service men having an honorable discharge from the United States military or naval service, who are qualified to enter the course desired, may apply to their local Y. M. C. A. If there is no local "Y" in his community, nor an educational service committee, the ex-service man should write to the State Educational Service Committee of his state. If the applicant needs additional information to that given by the local or state committees, he should communicate with the United Y. M. C. A. Schools, 347 Madison Ave., New York City. CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS THE Ladies' Searchlight Club was the recipient of many compliments from a large number of citizens who attended the "Bake Sale" on Thursday, April 15th. The members of this club excel in cuisine. Their "Bake Sales" are held every quarter and the prominent ladies of the city attend and pay extraordinary prices for cakes, pies, muffins, rolls, salads, etc. These "Bake Sales" prove how wonderful our women can cook. We never tire of praising the ladies of the Searchlight Club. They are always ready to aid in any work for the race, city or nation. In every successful venture in Cheyenne one will note one or more women in it who are members of the Ladies' Searchlight Club. Where real energy, business and sociable qualities are required the women of Cheyenne excel the men of our race. "Grandma" Hopkins has returned from Oakland, Calif.

Colored Girls' Club Planned in New York A COMMUNICATION comes to me from the New York Urban League. The function of this organization is: "Social service among Negroes." At present their efforts are directed in the interest of Americanization. One of the interesting innovations in this connection is the promotion of a clubhouse for colored girls. A committee of Negro women in Harlem recently organized to form a nonsexican, self-supporting, self-governing club of colored girls, unattached to any organization, and numbering approximately 15,000. The program of this club will be directed to make colored girls know and appreciate America, and will give them wholesome recreation. The committee gave these girls a party on Wednesday, April 14th, and told them of the plan and organized at public school No. 89, 135th Street and Lenox avenue. The club will put forth every effort to get a clubhouse for the girls. This is a move in the right direction and should be encouraged. There is no more healthy move than for young people to gather together under wholesome conditions, not only in the interest of social welfare and civic progress, but for the pleasure of meeting each other. Girls' clubs as a general proposition, carried on with good people behind them, have perhaps done more to develop the girls toward better womanhood than any other agency. I know many girls who have suffered from endless loneliness, and had little in their lives to promote their happiness, until they have joined a club of this kind. Here they have made friendships and associations that have stood them in good stead, not only in passing hours that would otherwise have been lonely, but in changing their positions in work to their resulting benefit. Not only this, but such clubs have played a big part in the matter of character building. Young people who are constantly confronted with members of their family, and who do not have occasion to make friends and meet other people outside the family circle, lose much that is worth while in the realm of human relationship. Their finer sensibilities and methods of conduct have very little stimulation, as compared to the great benefit of coming in contact with strangers and cultivating friendships. I believe wherever possible a girl should join a club of this kind. The colored girls of this city should welcome this movement and give it their support by becoming members. Many letters come to me also from the girl who comes to the city to obtain work. Many such girls find it difficult to get acquainted and are very miserable accordingly. They seek comradship, but fear making acquaintances in a large city. Such clubs are a God-send to girls thus situated. I know of a young woman who came to this city and lived here two years and knew no person except the landlady in the RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources Southern Pacific Railway Company Promotes Race Man. It might be of no small degree of interest to the general public to know that the Southern Pacific Railway Company has voluntarily promoted one of Los Angeles race men, in the person of Mr. Percy D. Buck, who has for many years served the company in the capacity of waiter. When the company decided to give the position of instructing and traveling waiter to a colored man, he, among the many men employed by the company, was considered the best fitted for the position. In giving the promotion, President Spreule and General Superintendent Estabrook complimented him very highly for the creditable manner in which he had served the company, and these officers even went so far as to state that the time is here when railroad companies will have to give colored men better positions. Mr. Buck is highly thought of by those who know him best. He is a good member of the Progressive Business League, and is a real citizen, owning his home on 41st street, near Central avenue, where he resides with his family. A good salary goes with the appointment, and Mr. Buck's new position takes him over the entire system from the extreme north to the extreme south. He is expected to report directly to President Spreule and General Superintendent Estabrook.—California Eagle. NEGRO WINNER OVER WHITES AT GOODYEAR. Ballot Gives Him Place to Help Handle the Workers' Affairs. Akron, April 15.—James Miller, Negro, one-time dining car waiter, is a member of the "house of representatives" of the Industrial Republic of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. plant here. Miller was chosen over two white opponents in open primaries, and ran for office under protest. He now helps to guide the business destinies of 25,000 Goodyear employés, most of them white. The "legislator" introduced a co-operative store bill as one of his first official acts and later backed a plan for better education of Negro employés. He is a member of several important committees including plant sanitation, wage-scale and factory education. He is 31. house where she roomed. She was a splendid worker and was advanced in her position, but she could not stand the strain of seeing only strangers. She went back home to North Carolina and had to work for considerably less and let go the opportunity she craved only because she was so unhappy in being unacquainted. There is nothing as lonesome as being alone in a crowded city. I am acquainted with another young woman who lived with her mother and two brothers. She was a stenographer and a successful one. Her two brothers were rather selfish and sought their amusement without considering their sister. She rarely went anywhere and her mother became alarmed when the girl actually grew melancholy. NO.28 Jackson, Miss., April 14.—E. R. Franklin, a Negro, said to represent The Crisis, a New York publication, has been sentenced in Holmes county, this state, to six months' imprisonment and fined $400, according to advices tonight. The case arose out of an editorial in the January issue of the paper. A law enacted at the last session of the Legislature prohibits dissemination of literature tending to stir up racial trouble, and Franklin was prosecuted for violation of this act. WAR'S BEQUEST TO THE COMMUNITY. In many communities colored workers employed by Community Service, Incorporated, the successor of War Camp Community Service, are aiding in plans which are being made to raise funds to continue the work for the people themselves. Just why the service to the community rendered under the auspices of Community Service, Incorporated, through these colored workers is so valuable an asset in community welfare and individual contentment, a glance at a few cities will show. Atlanta with its ten colored girls' clubs and its thirteen classes in cooking, millinery, stenography, and typewriting that furnish opportunities which are not otherwise available, and Chester with its many activities for recreation, its Colored Community Center, with free shower-baths, and a printing press where boys gain practical knowledge of printing, are expressions of Community Service. Hattiesburg's popular night school classes for colored men working in industries; Richmond's community sings; the regular dances, games, athletics and sings that are part of the activities for colored civilians as well as soldiers in approximately eight-eight cities, suggest how much the community itself is receiving the final benefits of the service first extended to its soldiers. Community Service is the medium through which the residents of a community get together and become members of the community, with a real interest in its welfare, prosperity, and stability. It takes the jolts out of the rough roads and makes the journey pleasant. It makes it possible for all the people to fill their leisure time with wholesome, enjoyable recreation, and to secure the fullest and richest life.—Southern Workman. The doctor said her one trouble was in not meeting girls of her own age and having something of interest besides her work. This girl joined a girls' club and became a "different person." Humans must come in touch with each other for their mutual benefit. Good clubs are important institutions. "Old Style" Time Still in Use. It is not only in eastern Europe, under the influences of the Greek church, that the unreformed calendar may be found still in use.

DOCTOR 57 YEARS OLD TAKES CHLOROFORM AT WALSEN- BURG, COLO. LEAVES NOTE TO GIRL BRIDE WHO WAS ATTENDING BUS!- NESS COLLEGE. ‘Wentern Newspaper Union News Service, Walsenburg, Colo, April 28.—Leay- Ing 4 note to his 19-year-old bride of a yeur, Catherine, the daughter of his brother, explaining that he was break- ing his promise to postpone the act about which they had often consulted but that he believed his removal would solve the problem of her future, Dr. K. L. Clock, 57 years old, committed suicide here by taking chloroform at his home. The body of Dr. Clock, who was physician for the Victor- American Fuel Company at its Raven- wood mine, three miles south of here, was found by a ming employé who had ‘gone to the physician's home to obtain ‘treatment for a slight Injury. The doors and windows were se- curely locked and barred and Coroner R. E. Thomas, who was summoned, said that apparently Dr, Clock had been dead for several hours. Mrs. Clock, the physician's niece, was sent by the doctor te Pueblo a week ago to enter a business college. She was notified of his death and re- turned to Walserburg. Whether her entering school was for the purpose of preparing to make her own way, in contemplation of which Dr, Clock had promised to postpone his suicide, is a matter which has not been determined, The only information available here concerning the motive for the suicide, other than a desire to free his wife from the embarrassment of being mar- ried to her uncle, was contained in the note clutched in the dead man’s hand and addressed to her, ‘The note follows: “Dearest Cather- ine—I promised you I would postpone this act, but Lam breaking it today as I think it is the best for you.

Addressing a large audience of members of the American Legion and their friends, in Indianapolis recently, Franklin d'Olier. National commander of the American Legion, gave the following explanation of the organization and purposes of the legion: It was only a little over a year and their friends, in Indianapolis recently. Franklin d'Ollier. National commander of the American Legion, gave the following explanation of the organization and purposes of the legion: It was only a little over a year ago, in France, that all were asking what kind of a veterans' organization we should have, corresponding to the G. A. R, and the Confederate Veterans. We had all seen the wonderful spirit of those in the service and we thought it would be more than unfortunate if that spirit were allowed to die out. It, therefore, was decided to form a great veterans' organization to which every person would be eligible who was in service, regardless of whether he were an officer or enlisted man, and whether he served in this country or France. The movement was started on the fifteenth of March, last year, only a year ago. In a year's time from that small beginning it has become an organization with an active organization in every state of the Union, with some 8,500 posts and a membership well over a million. Why is it that the Americap Legion in such a short time has grown so rapidly? The reason is simply this: That it was formed for the purpose of keeping alive that spirit of service which we all know about. And that spirit of service is service to our country and service to our comrades. When we were over there, we saw ourselves the radical tendencies in France. We heard from officers coming from England of the radical tendencies in England, and we heard there was some concern in this country as to what might happen when over four million men were demobilized. We made up our minds the first service we should render to our country as civilians would be to see to it that this government, this country that we were protecting against the enemy, we would protect against the foes within. You have heard a great deal about the stand of the American Legion for law and order. That stand for law and order has done more for our country than most of us realize. I was talking a short time ago to a member of a foreign embassy and he was discussing the American Legion. and he said: "Do you realize most of the disorder and lawlessness in our country is caused by ex-service men, whereas in your country you have your ex-service men putting down lawlessness and disorder?" I was talking in Washington in the office of the military intelligence of the war department which is connected with the attorney general's office, and they both told me that the greatest central factor in curbing the activities of the reds and the radicals who would overturn our government by force was the American Legion. Those who would overturn our government by force know they can only do so by force and the only great group of citizens who recognize fully the power of force are the ex-service men who were fighting force with force. And when they appreciated the fact that there were 8,500 posts throughout the country and not a locality of any size, but what had an American Legion post, and that it was a rallying point around which the ex-service men can gather in case of lawlessness, and that through the legion all service men would stop the attempts of the radicals—that has turned the tide and made an improvement since last summer. Let me give you an illustration of the soundness of their judgment. When the steel strike began in a town in Ohio, the posts called a meeting and they offered their services to the mayor. The mayor immediately swore in about two hundred, one hundred he held in reserve and the other hundred he put patrolling the residence section. The next day the labor union called a meeting for the purpose of denouncing the legion for strike breaking. The head of the American Legion post happened to be a union man and he went to the meeting and he explained just exactly what they were doing, that they were taking no part whatever in the controversy and were simply interested in the protection of their homes and those of the union workers. and those of the "You are loyal patriotic American citizens. So are we. We are interested in the same things, and therefore, this meeting which you have called for the purpose of denouncing the American Legion when you understand what we are trying to do, to protect your homes from disorders, for which you will not be responsible—we are trying to protect your homes as well as our own." As a result of this very frank statement by the post commander the meeting of organized labor approved the action of the legion, and there was no disorder whatever in that community. This is a small thing and yet it shows just what the American Legion is trying to do. You need have no fear about the stand of the American Legion for law and order. That is one point upon which every member of the American Legion is pledged, and is one thing on which we agree unanimously, the maintenance of law and order in this country, and in that way we hope to serve our country. In addition we are going to serve our comrades through mutual helpfulness. We will see that the dependents of those who made the supreme sacrifice are taken care of—that those disabled physically are properly cared for. Unfortunately, although a year had elapsed since the signing of the armistice, congress had not done what it should have done for the disabled men. The American Legion called a meeting in Washington last December, and explained what they thought was fair treatment to the disabled men, that they might not be objects of charity of a private character, and legislation which we considered Monday morning was actually passed by both houses by Saturday afternoon, because what the American Legion asked was fair and just, and congress knew it had the support of the entire country. And as a result a man can now live on the compensation he receives from his government where he has become physically disabled. We are now asking congress to do something for those of our comrades handicapped financially because of their service in the army or navy. We have been criticized for doing this on the basis that we were putting a price on our patriotism, due to the fact that anyone making that statement does not appreciate the situation. I understand it is a historical fact that George Washington, the father of our country, received a grant of several thousand acres of land from this country, in recognition of his service during the revolution. No one has ever criticized the father of our country as having put a price on his patriotism. Referring to a recent illustration; When this country appreciated what Admiral Dewey had done, by popular subscription they presented him with a house, and no one ever said that Admiral Dewey had put a price on his patriotism. The ex-service men in what they are asking for beneficial legislation is that this country shall merely help them overcome the disadvantages incidental to their military and naval service. We have suggested a four-fold optional plan, covering land settlement, home aid, vocational training, and, for those who are not able to avail themselves of any one of those three, an adjustment in their compensation based on length of service. The American Legion every time it refers to this legislation has asked congress to make it as liberal as is consistent with the welfare of the country, and no one is in position to take exception to a statement like that. The American legion knows that while we were in France our strength in the face of the enemy was not the strength of the two million men in France, or the strength of the two million men in the states. But it was the strength of the hundred million Americans back of those four million of us in service. We were the spear point; the hundred million patriotic Americans back of us were the shaft and the strength. The American legion realizes that its future usefulness for good in this country will depend on the support and approval we get from the hundred million other Americans, and we know we could do nothing without your support, and you may rest assured in all our acts we shall see to it that we keep constantly in mind the one hundred million other Americans who are just as patriotic and just as loyal as we are. Sherman Was Wrong. The night the armistice was signed was a wild one in Paris. All restrictions were off. Every one was happy and saluted every one else French fashion as they met on the boulevards. All American soldiers were kissed to their hearts' content. Buttons and overseas caps were stolen by the souveniring mademoiselle. Along toward midnight up the Boulevard des Italiens staggered a big black colored boy. His coat was open to the breeze, all its buttons gone, and his head bare. Evidently his cap had also gone to swell some one's collection. As he turned one corner, two chic mademoiselle grabbed him. One kissed him on one cheek and one on the other. It was too much for the darkey. Throwing both arms in the air, he cried fervently: "O Lordy! what Mistah Sherman said about war's a life! Dis she' must be hebben!" THE COLORADO SEED & NURSERY CO.

Harvard's Law school is not only the oldest existing law school in the United States, but it is the oldest existing academic law school in the English-speaking world. They have a professor of law at Cambridge, and a professor of law at Oxford, in England, but they do not teach law in the manner of a professional school. They simply lecture upon law, or endeavor to give a scientific preparation for the profession of law, but do not give a scientific professional training. Many Accidental Drownings. Accidental drowning caused 5,550 deaths, or 7.4 per 100,000, in this country last year. This rate is considerably less than that for any preceding year since 1910, and is also decidedly below the average for the decade 1901-1910.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Trying to Demobilize the Civilian War Machine WASHINGTON.—The army and the navy are demobilized, but how to demobilize the civilian war machine, with its army of superfluous employ- and its swollen pay roll, is a big problem with which congress is wrestling. Members of congress, secretaries, clerks, help about capitol, justices of the Supreme court, United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and district court judges, clerks, marshals, United States attorneys, assistant United States district attorneys, ambassadors, and others in the diplomatic and consular service, staffs of congressional library, etc., are at least 6,000.

There are 200,000 more employees today in the government service throughout the country than before the war. Before the outbreak of the war there were 37,908 clerks and other civil employees of the government in the District of Columbia. This force was increased during the war until on November 11, 1918, when the armistice was declared, it numbered 117,454. Who Wants to Play Hooky After Next September?

Nature Herself to Tell Age of Cliff Dwellings HOW old are the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde National park and other prehistoric ruins in the American Southwest? It has seemed that this question could never be definitely answered. There are no written records. and Prof. Earl Morris of Silverton, Colo., who has spent many years studying the Southwest, sent the ancient timbers to Doctor Douglas. He says, concerning the experiment: "It is common knowledge that the growth of each year adds a ring of wood to the circumference of the trunk of a tree. The amount of rainfall and the influence of the solar activity during any given year determine relative thickness, and composition of the wood that grows in that year. "For nearly two decades Doctor Douglas has been studying the sequoias of California and the pines eastward to the continental divide. He has discovered that rainfall over this entire region has varied with the same distinct rhythm—a series of more moist ones for 3,218 years, the age of the oldest sequoias examined. "The character of the rings, which grew during each cycle, differs in some particulars from that of every other cycle of rings in a piece of pine cut at an unknown date, and finding out where the same peculiarities occur in the 3,000-year record preserved in the sequoias, it can be stated when the tree grew, and the year in which it was felled."

The three years' war was over and Leonard Moore was going home. The war in question had nothing to do with England, France or Germany. It was a private family war—between Leonard Moore and J. Griffen Moore. Perhaps it had better be termed a rupture in relations, for no shots were fired. In his hand Leonard held the terms of peace. They were contained in a letter from J. Griffen Moore, who happened to be his father. The situation was summed up in the closing paragraph of the letter: "So the doors of the old home are open to you. I learn from reliable sources that you have settled down and made good as an automobile salesman. It has been a trying three years for me, all alone in the big house except for the servants, but I believe it has done us both good, and we will understand each other better when you return. There is only one obligation I will place you under; that is that you marry at once, and of course it must be some one in your own class. Mazie Dixon would suit me, and you used to appear extremely fond of her. I'll look for you shortly." It was the first communication from his father since the latter sent him out into the world to shift for himself three years ago. It was after Leonard's second expulsion from college that the break occurred. Leonard had steadfastly refused to shoulder any responsibility in life, had never been vicious, but had traveled with a clique that was not noted for its thrifty propensities or its mild forms of amusement; had openly defied hard and fast regulations of the school and had ended his career there with an extemporaneous valedictory address delivered in the presence of the faculty when the latter summoned him before it and which was far from being a eulogy. The summons had resulted from a series of misdemeanors which had come to the faculty's attention, but when the faculty tried to express its opinion as to the merit of Leonard's sundry escapades the latter usurped the stage and expressed his ideas concerning the faculty, collectively and individually. He went home by the next train, bag and baggage. When J. Griffen Moore shut the door of his magnificent home that night Leonard was on the outside with $500 in his pocket with which to "try to make something of yourself." It woke Leonard up and, taking an inventory of himself, he decided it was high time to assume a different attitude toward life. Heretoore he had been irresponsible, because his father was wealthy and he was the only heir; consequently there had been no occasion to shoulder responsibility. Now, of a sudden, there was plenty of occasion. He had been disowned by his parent, and his reasoning faculties told him J. Griffen Moore was right. So he went to work. Three years later found Leonard a successful salesman, rooming at a place where other young business men and women made their homes. He had responsibilities, and he was glad of it. Not once had he implored aid of his father. He was proud of himself, but not too proud to go back home when invited. Leonard had no particular liking for hard work, and he knew his father would get him a position where that kind of activity played a minor role. He had worked hard, but because he had to. His heart filled with exultation, which showed in his eyes, he left his room and walked down the hall, pausing before a door, on which he knocked. It was opened by a pretty brunette, rather diminutive, attractive, intelligent young woman, who smiled him welcome and invited him to a chair. "It's come, Minnie," he announced gleefully. "Father has relented, and I'm to go home. The world is rosy once more." She walked to the window and looked out. The smile disappeared from her face when her back was turned to him. "Tell me about it," she said. He did. There was no reason why he shouldn't, because Minnie had been his confidante ever since he came to room here. They had been great friends—nothing more than that—and had spent many an evening together, discussing their hopes and ambitions. Minnie edited the woman's page on one of the newspapers, but had an intense yearning to become a police reporter. They don't have women police reporters," she said, "but I don't understand why, seeing that they have women policemen. Anyhow, I want to be one. I'm tired of fashions and divorces and marriages, and other heart throbs of the feminine world. I'd like to handle murders." So Leonard told her how the rupture in relations was about to terminate and suggested they go out to dinner in celebration of the event, because on the morrow he would return home. But she insisted that they simply have one of their "chatty seances." as she expressed it. "I suppose before long you will be married," she observed, "to one of your former sweethearts?" This extracted a sigh from Leonard. "Yes, I suppose I will. At least, I hope to. Muzie Dixon always was my ideal. She's the most wonderful girl I ever met—a pronounced blonde with blue eyes—and she certainly would make me happy. I have always been insane over her, but of course when I left home I was obliged to give her up. Now it will be different." He gave vent to another slight, which was echoed by Minnie, no doubt out of sympathy for him, although there appeared to be little occasion for sympathy. In the morning Leonard severed his connection with the auto sales company. The manager was not at all pleased, because Leonard had been a valuable man; but he was told that a place would be open for him any time he might care to return. Then Leonard went to his father's office, where an affectionate greeting took place, and that night Leonard was formally welcomed back into the old home with a dinner party, at which young ladies and young gentlemen of "his class" were guests. Among the guests was Mazle, and her greeting was effusive. "I've missed you a lot," she said. "It would seem that you might have dropped me a line now and then." "I was in no position to consider you as a—a friend," he reminded her. "I was just a poor working man. It would not have been the right thing, exactly." "Perhaps you are right," she agreed. "But now we are back on the same level once more, and I shall expect you to make up for lost time and take me to all the best parties and dances and theaters." While this conversation was taking place Minnie sat alone in her room pounding a dilapidated typewriter, trying to grind out material for her page. Leonard did not know that she had laid aside this work on more than one occasion in order to receive him and that it made the performance of her duties the next day doubly hard. On this particular night the rickety machine would not run smoothly. Sheet after sheet of paper was torn up and finally Minnie admitted defeat, covered the typewriter, turned out the lights and moved her chair to the window, where she spent a silent hour, meditating. It was only a sample of her program on several succeeding nights. A month after Leonard's exit from her life she sat thus at the window, lamenting the flight of inspiration, when a knock on the door intruded on her thoughts. She exclaimed, wearily, "Come in." thinking perhaps it was the bothersome Miss Jenkins on a borrowing quest for the current magazines, or Mrs. Shear seeking a cupful of sugar, or Miss Haverhill with the latest gossip. Instead a man stood at the opening when the door was thrown back. As the light was out she could not see who it was, but she could discern that he carried two suitcases. She pressed the electric switch and the light shone on the face of Leonard Moore. "Back?" she exclaimed. "Did your father change his mind?" "No," he said grimly, setting the suitcases in the hall and entering the room. "No, he didn't change his mind—but I did. Minnie, my three years of work have spoiled me for a life of leisure. Dad and I are on friendly terms all right, but I'm going to take my job back." She motioned him to a chair, but he remained standing. "How about your ideal?" she inquired. "Why aren't you with her tonight?" He walked up close to her, his face carrying an expression she had never seen before. "Minnie," he said, and there was a peculiar softness in his voice. "Mazie Dixon isn't my ideal; she belongs to the Leonard Moore who used to be and who didn't know any better. You ask me why I am not with my ideal tonight and I answer that I am with her. I've been living three years under the same roof with her and I have just found it out." Assert Ruin Was Chief's Home. Casa Grande ruin, Arizona, is claimed by the Pima Indians who dwell in its neighborhood as the habitation of one of their ancient chiefs. They designate it by several names, among which are Vaaki, Old House; Civanavaaki, Old House of the Chief; and Sialim Civanavaaki, Old House of Chief Morning Green. Casa Grande was a ruin when discovered and has not been permanently inhabited since first seen by white man. The walls of this historic structure are of a fawn color, slightly tinged with red. Externally they are rough, but internally are plastered and still showing places that formerly were as smooth as "Pueblo pottery." How many of us can tell off-hand the exact center of the population of the United States? Every ten years the government calculates with great accuracy just where this point lies. The center moves westward at the rate of about fifty miles every ten years. When the center was first calculated in 1790 it lay three miles east of Baltimore. Md. In the first ten years it moved forty miles westward. By 1860 it had reached the State of Ohio and is today crawling slowly across the State of Indiana. In 130 years, says Boys' Life, the point has traveled westward about 600 miles. Real Criticism. "How did Bilgings get to be so relentless a musical critic?"

Good nursery stock of suitable kinds and varieties is fundamental to suc: cess in fruit growthg. While many of the long-established nurseries sell their stock largely through agents whose Intergity is unquestioned many other nurseries have no traveling agents but sell direct to purchasers. It ts better, as a rule, for a grower to deal directly with a nurseryman rather than through an agent. When to Plant Fruit Trees. In the North and wherever the win- ter conditions are severe on plant life, either from low temperatures, drying winds or other causes, fruits are usu- ally planted in the spring as early as the soil can be put in sultable condi tion, It is very important that they be set out while the plants are perfectly dormant and before the buds have started. Many faflures result from de- laying the planting until the buds have started into growth. If the prospective planter prepares the soll where his fruits are to stand as thoroughly as he should prepare his garden before planting vegetable seeds, the subsequent growth of his fruit trees will amply repay him Where the site selected {¢ in sod it Is advisable to cultivate it during one senson at least after the sod is plowed under, in order that the grass roots may decay before the fruits are planted. Where the fruit plantation occupies ‘a garden site usually it should receive about the same tillage that Is given a vegetable plat. In the popular mind this represents a high standard of ex- cellence. Frequent tillage to maintain the surface soil in the condition of a fine dust mulch ts preferable in most cases to any other method of treat- ment. The tillage of fruit trees should be continued until mfdsummer in the North, but it may be kept up to good advantage somewhat later in the South. Strawberries, as a rule, should be cultivated until the approach of cold weather. Under most conditions the same methods of maintaining the fertility of the soil which are followed in a veze- table garden are successful with fruits. Where stable manure 1s available its Uberal use generally gives excellent re- sults. ‘The three kinds of Insect pests and fungous diseases that are found in @ commercial orchard in any region may be expected to occur in a fruit garden or home orchard located In the same region. Therefore, in planning a home-fruit plantation the grower should inform himself as completely as is possible in regard to the methods of controlling the common insects and diseases to which the fruits he 1s growing. are subject in his locality. ‘This information may be found in bul- letins issued by state experiment sta- tions, agricultural college extension di- visions, the United States department of agriculture and elsewhere. ‘The bulletin, which discusses these points at length, also gives attention to other problems that will confront the amateur fruit grower, such as sea- sons of planting, handling the stock from the nursery, planting, cultural methods, maintaining soll fertility, pruning and training, Irrigation, varie- ties of fruit for different regions, fruit varieties, age of bearing and varieties for different districts. Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) In many sections of Florida and Cal- {fornia the housewife needs only to step outside of her kitchen door to gather the grapefruit for breakfast or the oranges for dinner. This cannot be done everywhere, bat there is no reason why any rural or suburban housewife, even ff she lives close to the Canadian border, should not have fruit of some kind growing In the back yard. This is the opinion of special- ists in the United States department of agriculture, who treat in detail the subject of “Growing Fruit for Home Use” Ina publication under that name. It is Farmer's Bulletin 1001 and may be obtained on application to the di- vision of publications, U. S. depart- ment of agriculture, Washington, D. C. ‘The ideal fruit garden or home or- chard should contain several different kinds of fruits, represented in many cases by a considerable number of va- rieties ripening one after another over a long period. Large yields, good ship- ping quality and attractiveness in ap- pearance, which are alms of ihe com- mercial grower, may be made second. ary to high dessert quality or special excellence for cooking purpeses. Plans for Home Orchard. The home fruit plat should be planned carefully, and in general with a view to supplying fruit continuously throughout the year either In the fresh state or canned or otherwise con- served. Throughout a large part of the country one may grow in the same garden, if he so desires, the, following fruits: Apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, quinces, strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, dewberries, cur- rants, gooseberries and grapes. In the colder sections the winters are too se- vere for peaches and also for some of the other fruits named, unless they are protected; while in the warmer parts apples, currants, gooseberries ‘and eertain varieties of several of the other fruits fail because they are not adapted to the long, hot summers and mild winters. But in these warmer regions Japanese persimmons succeed, and in some of them figs and certain other fruits can be planted success- fully. Therefore one of the most im- portant features of the plan for the home-fruit plantation is the selection Biber id aya ; oN f Fe A . aa, 7 om ay fem 7. epee Barrel Pump Suitable for Spraying the Fruit Garden or Nome Orchard. of kinds of fruits and varieties of those kinds which do well in the given locality and which will serve best the purpose for which they are desired. ‘The location of the land on which the fruits are planted, other things be- ing equal, should be convenient to the house. It should be well drained, since fruit trees cannot thrive in poor- ly drained soil. ‘The air drainage also must be good. Cold air settles to the lowest levels, and if a site is so locat- ed that cold air settles over tt from some surrounding higher clevation, the fruit may be Injured by freezes in the autumn when sites located on the sides of slopes or at points which are higher than the surrounding area escape injury. Most fruits can be grown on a great veriety of soils, but where possible it Is better to avoid light sandy soils and heavy clays.
