AFTER a number of years of continuous service as editor and proprietor of the Colorado Statesman, the leading and influential people's journal of our race in the West, Joseph D. D. Rivers decided to take a respite from his arduous duties, and on turning over the business to his wife, who is his faithful and competent assistant for over twenty-five years, he left Denver Thursday, June 3rd, over the Burlington railway route for the great city of Chicago, resolving to forget even temporarily Denver's business cares and the newspaperman's multitude of troubles. Arriving at the depot after what may be termed a few hours ride, as the limited train appeared to be a favorable competitor to the monarch of speed—the aeroplane, the editor was met by Mr. Spencer Watts, his brother-in-law, and husband of the late Mrs. Maud Smith Watts, a former sister of Mrs. Rivers. The editor was then escorted to the home of Mrs. J. R. Stafford and Mrs. Charlie Bond, whose guest he was for several days, and who left nothing undone to demonstrate the hospitality and general social characteristics of the people of Chicago, Before entering into the spirit of the great city and its particular event—the convention of the Republican party—Mr. Rivers could not refrain from giving expression to the wonderful sceneries that caught his vision in passing through the states of Nebraska and Iowa, and on entering Illinois, when nature in her magnificence seemed to vie with the extensive acreage of agricultural development, the result of the farmers' modern scientific methods in causing the earth to yield its most and its best in obedience to the skill of man. Great wheat fields, corn and other products, as far as the eye could behold, impressed the editor that the High Cost of Living would soon become a thing of the past and we would return to normal.

The pleasure of visiting the convention of the Republican party fell to the lot of the editor, when provided with the necessary complimentary qualifications for admission, he entered the Coliseum, and witnessed day after day the great contest between the Wood and Lowden forces, and then the turning point of victory for Senator Warren G. Harding, whom he afterwards had an opportunity of meeting in Washington, D. C., and congratulated him on behalf of Colorado. During the convention the editor formed many acquaintances with leading newspapermen and business men from various parts of the country, and also met a number of Denver and other Colorado citizens of prominence who were attending as delegates and visitors. Progress in Business Organization, etc. "WONDERFUL!" Hardly does this term give justice to the remarkable progress made by our people within the half century of their liberty. In every profession, trade mercantile branches, etc., Mr. Rivers declares he found our people in Chicago, and what was most striking the modern office equipments, the up-to-date business methods and the entering into the commercial life as a competitor and not an object of pity or convenient usage as we were once compelled to be. Referring to the office of The Chicago Defender, the popular news journal of the race, the editor describes the plant and staff a credit to the country and a most valuable asset to our race.

Leaving Chicago after a pleasure of this kind, the editor experienced another of nature's grandest displays in the change from Rocky Mountain sceneries to the views of the lowland, where the great grazing farms and the cattle rearing industry were conspicuous in form. Arriving in Baltimore, he was met at the terminus by his sisters, Mrs. Annie O'Key and Mrs. Alice Chambers, whom he last saw several years ago; spent a delightful time meeting with nephews and nieces, all grown-ups, and having the privilege of meeting his own aunt, Mrs. Jennie Simms; the editor says "the meeting was indescribable," or in other words, could be more imagined than described. Mr. Rivers had the privilege of hearing his niece, a very talented and accomplished musician, Miss Frances E. Chambers, at the large pipe organ at the Bethel A. M. E. Church, one of the largest edifices of this body, with a splendid congregation of great members. Other members of the Chamber's family are Mr. Rivers Chambers and Mr. Ulysses Chambers, both being introduced and the latter a musician in New York City. The editor was introduced to the eminent editor, Rev. Samson Brooks, who has recently been elevated to the bishopric, and who received him cordially. A special feature in the Baltimore phase of the editor's program is the meeting and renewing acquaintanceship between Mrs. Sarah C. Fernald, social settlement worker of Baltimore, Md., who is a graduate of Hampton Institute, Va., and who was a class-mate of Mr. Rivers in 1882. After his graduation and departure for the West, "imagine the meeting, greeting and reception—too much for ye scribe." Mrs. Fernald will be one of the speakers on the program of the seventeenth annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored schools, to be held July 28-31.

Leaving the family circle and some of the best friends the editor has ever met, he continued his journey to Washington, the city of cities, where he was royally received and entertained by his sister, Mrs. Butler, and her husband. Another added pleasure was afforded Mr. Rivers when he found himself associated with two more neices and a nephew here, the Misses Alberta Butler and Beulah Butler, and Mr. McKinley Butler, who contributed to the very pleasant receptions that were tendered him.

This organization, with a capital stock of $100,000, with shares at $10 each, is establishing a firm foothold among our people in Washington, who in spite of discrimination and opposition are forging ahead at an alarming rate. "The Y. M. C. A. institutions both here and Baltimore are credits to our race," says Editor Rivers, and there is no doubt about the permanent good that this organization is doing for the good of humanity. Philadelphia still holds its own, and everybody seems to be on the progressive order. The editor had a short stay. Entertainment, Reception, Etc.

RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. The town of Ault has been exonerated from alleged contempt charges by the State Utilities Commission. It has been charged that Ault had violated orders issued by the commission last September in regard to the operating of a municipal light and power plant. Testimony of witnesses appearing before the commission brought out the fact that the town officials were in no way responsible for citizens "plugging in" on the municipal power wires after the order to restrain had been issued by the commission. It takes a courageous man to save his burning house with buckets of milk, worth 10 cents a quart wholesale, but David Easterly and Martin Van Voorhis, ranchmen on the Cornwall ranch on Ohio creek, possessed the necessary courage when their ranch home caught fire. Twenty gallons of lacteal fluid sufficed to douse the flames, which had started on the roof. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Pueblo post No. 2, American Legion, has established its headquarters in the canteen used throughout the war by the local chapter of the Red Cross to serve hot lunches to soldiers passing through the city. The building has been moved from near the Union station to Court and Fifth streets, and has been comfortably and cosily fitted up as a clubhouse for the Legion. Owing to the failure of materials to arrive, the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the new $500,000 Sterling hospital will not take place for a few weeks. In the meantime, efforts to raise the remainder of the money to meet the cost of the tructure will be redoubled, in the hope of having the fund complete when the cornerstone is laid. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Harry Falkner, 50, town marshal of Brighton, and former deputy sheriff was shot twice by bank robbers. Falkner was rushed to Mercy hospital, Denver. Falkner is believed to have been shot by the "lookout" for the bank robbers, who were on the point of breaking into the American bank on Bridge street, at Brighton. The hearts of forty orphan children and eight residents of the State Odd Fellows' Home at Cafion City were made happy when over 500 representatives of the triple link from all parts of the state assembled there to celebrate the first annual home-coming of the order in Colorado.

TWODOLLARSAYEAR Miss Iva Goddard, 40 years old, who owns a homestead six miles east of Holyoke, was instantly killed when a team which she was driving became frightened and ran away. THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE The questionnaire sent out some time ago by the Immigration Department to all manufacturers in the state outside of Denver has been filled out and returned by practically all the large manufacturers and a great many of the smaller ones, the returns covering about $5 per cent of the manufacturing output in the territory surveyed. An additional questionnaire will be mailed in a short time to all manufacturers who did not reply to the first inquiry, and a determined effort will be made to complete the survey within the next two months. Meat-Packing Industry Is Most Important of All in the United States. Meat-Packing Industry Is Most Important of All in the United States. By SENATOR KENDRICK of Wyoming, Speech in Congress. at $1,651,965,424. That was almost, if not quite, twice as large as the value of the output of all the iron and steel works and rolling mills in the country for the same year. It was greater than the combined output of all the flour and grist mills and all the lumber and timber mills. It was almost three times greater than the value of all the cotton goods manufactured in the United States during the same period. Year by year the meat-packing industry has increased in importance until today it may be truthfully said that it far outranks all the other commercial industries in America. The bureau of markets has compiled statistics covering the movement of live animals to 69 American markets. These figures show that during the year 1919 more than 97,000,000 animals went to slaughter in these yards. The valuation of these enormous herds is placed by the bureau of markets at more than five and a quarter billions of dollars. On a single average market day the total value of the animals sold in these markets is more than $25,000,000. These figures tell only the story of the animals going to market. Out on the farms and ranges there are vast herds preparing for market. The estimated value of these at the present time, according to the department of agriculture, is more than $8,800,000,000; their number—hogs, cattle, and sheep—is placed by the bureau of crop estimates at the stupendous total of almost 200,000,000 head. And so we are dealing with an industry the great magnitude of which few men who have not known it intimately have even imagined. We want to meet these social problems squarely and not be afraid of them. It is the unknown one is afraid of and that is the reason so large a part of the public is in a panicky state of mind over the recent labor disturbances. I admit the expression of these social struggles is unpleasant and usually makes for a great deal of inconvenience, but the struggles themselves are symptoms of the healthy unrest from which progress springs. A contented group soon becomes a stagnant group. We know from the laws of nature that nothing can stand still. The Bible tells us that where the people have no vision they will perish. These manifestations of the social unrest are really the people's crude way of adhering to an ideal. People conversant with the facts and at the same time having an intelligent sympathy with the human emotions actuating the protests against the existing order of things, must work constructively to open up avenues which shall eventually lead to equitable settlement. Roosevelt Forest Experimental Station Devoted to the Study of Wild Life. Col. Theodore Roosevelt's interest in wild life is to be perpetuated through the agency of a forest experimental station, bearing his name. It was Col. Roosevelt's hope that the work be undertaken in "a big way." The New York legislature authorized the institution; the state college of forestry in Syracuse has installed the station. The legislature has enacted that there be maintained at the station records of experiments and investigations and research work, a library, means for practical illustration and demonstration, and that research be carried on in relation to the habits, life histories, methods of propagation and management of fish, birds, game and food and fur-bearing animals and forest wild life. Upon a foundation of fact and inference through investigations we may hope to build up principles of management or policies for wild life which will fit into the texture of modern social and economic conditions. When this is done in a scientific manner, forest wild life will be intelligently and sympathetically appreciated and used by man to the best advantage. Why Not a World "Marriage Pool" That Civilization May Not Perish? By PROF. PAUL CARNOT, University of Paris. The last census figures showed a great surplus of males over females in the United States. We have millions of surplus women. Then why not a Franco-American bureau to facilitate the marriage of American men with the girls of France, where the war left such a shortage of men? Why not a Franco-Argentine bureau, a Franco-Australian bureau, in short, why not a great international bureau where each country may make its human needs known and provide facilities for courtship and eventual marriage? Is there any reason why the allied white races of the world should not pool their greatest of productive resources so that civilization itself may not perish? Supreme councils and ambassadors' councils and prime ministers and foreign ministers are sitting up nights discussing territorial boundaries and the rates of exchange, but they are actually doing nothing to solve the greatest social problem that has confronted the world since Christ was born—the question of marriageable young women who are destined to repair the war's human wastage but who find no husbands awaiting them. C. H. H. The measure providing for federal supervision of the meat-packing industry has to do with the most important of all the industries in the United States. This is true not only by reason of the nature of the product itself—an elementary factor in the food supply of the nation—but also by reason of the volume and extent of the business. It is difficult to convey a correct impression of all that the industry means to the country. The value of the products of the meat-packing houses of the United States in 1914 was placed by the census bureau By CHARLES C. ADAMS, Director. The KITCHEN CABINET "Come, let us rest awhile, Where placid lakes and tumbling streams Surpass by far the land of dreams And nature wears a smile." HELPFUL IDEAS. Nitrate of soda is a good tonic for house plants that need it. Dissolve one teaspoonful of the nitrate in a quart of water and use it to water the plants every week. This tonic will produce rapid growth in young, healthy or tea infusion is of the nitrate in a quart of water and use it to water the plants every week. This tonic will produce rapid growth in young, healthy plants. Cold coffee or tea infusion is good for all kinds of ferns. Use it instead of water once a week, soaking the roots well. When any metal kitchen utensil springs a leak at an inconvenient time, make a good temporary cement by mixing a little white of egg with wood or coal ashes to make a thick paste. Put this over the hole and hold the utensil over the heat until the paste bakes. To keep a cake moist, cover with an leing while it is still warm, then put a small jelly glass of water in the cake box. The air in the box is kept moist by the water and the cake will not dry out. An apple is used instead of the water by some. To shrink fabric, lay it in the bath-tub in the folds as it came from the store. Soak it will and leave for several hours until well dampened, then hang till dry, or nearly so, before pressing. Mend a leak in a hot water bottle with adhesive plaster. Heat table salt very hot and till the bag with the hot salt. The salt retains the heat longer than water, with no danger from leaking. The importance of well-fitting shoes is vital. Many a woman suffers from headache, backache, nerves and temper because her feet are not properly dressed. A heel should be large enough, even if high, to support the weight. Stockings should be nether too long, to form wrinkles nor too short to cause joint trouble. Bathing the feet daily in cold water, with a good rubbing, if faithfully followed, will cure rheumatism and cerns, we are told by those who have been cured. If the feet are swollen, hot and sensitive, bathe them in salt water, then rub with alcohol. Change of hose and shoes once or twice daily helps the feet wonderfully. The shoes should be well aired and the hose perfectly dry before dressing the feet. To toughen the feet, soak daily in a bath containing alcohol and salt. Come, fill the Cup, and let the Kettle Sing! The Cream and Sugar and Hot Water bring! Methinks this fragrant liquid amber here Within the Pot is pretty much the Thing. SUMMER DISHES FOR EVERY DAY With such a variety of fresh vegetables now in our gardens and markets, one can have a change every day. Escaloped Cabbage. Fill a buttered baking dish with alternate layers of creamed cabbage and seasoned crumbs, having a top layer of buttered crumbs. Brown Escalloped Cabbage. Fill a buttered baking dish with alternate layers of creamed cabbage and seasoned crumbs, having a top layer of buttered crumbs. Brown in a very hot oven. Curry of Vegetables.—Cook one small onion, one sour apple, one cupful each of carrot, turnip and celery cut fine. Make a rich white sauce, season with pepper, salt and curry powder and serve hot. These vegetables may all be leftovers or be cooked for the dish. Baked Banana Pudding—Cook one and one-fourth cupfuls of bread crumbs and one-half cupful of milk till smooth. Add two tablespoonfuls of butter, one-fourth of a cupful of sugar, one cupful of banana pulp, one-half teaspoonful of salt and two beaten egg yolks. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites and bake in a buttered baking dish until firm. Serve with lemon sauce. Whipped Fruit Jelly.—Take one package of any prepared gelatin of any flavor. Follow the directions for its preparation. When beginning to cool, but before it sets, beat with a Dover egg beater. Beat the white of an egg until stiff, then add one-half cupful of powdered sugar; beat this into the jelly, then add two bananas, one orange and half a cupful of fresh strawberries all cut in small pieces. Make a boiled custard with the yolk of the egg, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one and one-fourth cupfuls of milk. Mold the Jelly, cool the custard after it has been cooked until slightly thickened and serve on plates with the unmolded Jelly. Squaw Dish.—Cook together new potatoes, onions, carrots and peas, adding them in time so that all are tender together. A half cupful of bleed browned salt pork with the fat, and a pint of milk with salt and pepper for seasoning makes a very appetizing dish. Nellie Maxwell His Cost More. Samson was plainly peeved.

Proper Care of Parrots. Parrots in the wild state live on seed and fruit and should, while in captivity, be fed as nearly as possible the same kind of food. They should be fed sunflower seed, hemp seed, boiled yellow corn, stale bread soaked in water, an occasional piece of apple or banana, roasted peanuts and dry crackers. Plenty of water and gravel should be kept in the cage. The parrot's cage should be cleaned every day. Flowers.

At this is the age of inventions, rank, and many other new and warfare, too numerous to meet world war and played their part for the political genius to discover to civilization—"The steet it is most powerful and effective invention known that is able to maps thereby change the destiny of Republican convention at Copenhagen, with invisible pilot and satisfactory results. One by the Republicans at Copenhagen the latest in design, which will democratic convention. This is in rollers." In all its parts, operated by eleven Washington. Biggest victim of this marvelous miss Bryan. He was bumped hard from participating in the committee appointed for that purpose of large physique and plenthe been actually counted out undeated and adjourned. On the "steam roller" is under conn and it looks bad for someone else will be we make no pretension he may be, it will be but and we have a little "steam roller" or that will be left of the Democly. WE ARE told that this is the age of inventions. The submarine, the aeroplane, the tank, and many other new and powerful inventions of destructive warfare, too numerous to mention, made their appearance in the late world war and played their part with wonderful success. But it remained for the political genius to discover and create the greatest invention known to civilization—"The steam roller." It is invisible in character, yet it is most powerful and effective in its operations. It is the one and only invention known that is able to curb the ambitions of statesmen and perhaps thereby change the destiny of nations without bloodshed. The recent Republican convention at Chicago had on exhibition a new pattern, gearless, with invisible pilot and noiseless workings and produced very satisfactory results. But not to be out-done by the Republicans at Chicago, the Democrats have imported one of the latest in design, which will give startling exhibitions at the great Democratic convention. This is the last word in the construction of "steam rollers." It is ball bearing in all its parts, operated by electricity and controlled by a push button from Washington. The first and biggest victim of this marvelous "steam roller" was Hon. William Jennings Bryan. He was bumped hard on the first day of the session and prevented from participating in the drafting of the party platform by the sub-committee appointed for that purpose. But being a fighter of large physique and plenty of wind, we will not believe that he has been actually counted out until the convention has nominated their candidate and adjourned. nominated their candidate and the "steam roller" is under perfect control by the operator at Washington and it looks bad for somebody. Who their nominee will be we make no pretense at guessing, but suffice it to say, who ever he may be, it will be but an empty honor for him this year. The people have a little "steam roller" of their own and when it gets to working all that will be left of the Democratic party will be the name and the notoriety. THE WOMAN IN POLITICS. e in the history of the two g women have envaded the nati and made their influence fel ies have paid them great att committees. The Republican n FOR THE first time in the history of the two great political parties of the nation, the women have envaded the national conventions of their respective parties and made their influence felt in no small way. The leaders of both parties have paid them great attention and recognized them on important committees. The Republican national committee has recognized them by appointment as members of executive and advisory committees. The Democratic national committee, in session at San Francisco, has gone the Republicans one better by increasing the membership of their national committee in adding thereto one woman from each state as a national committeewoman. When we see this sudden awakening toward the women voters by the two great parties, we ask the question, why is all this sudden attention and recognition? The answer is plain and outstanding because of the fact that behind her stand nearly twenty million women voters. The party leaders realize that in all probability by the time the day of election rolls around every one of the thirty-six states needed will have ratified the nineteenth amendment and every woman in the land will possess the right to vote for their choice for President. Thus we see the titanic struggle between the two old parties in their attempt to impress and win over for the first time women voters. If they are given the right of universal suffrage in time to vote in November, we predict that at least 85 per cent or even 90 per cent of the women will register and vote this year, hence the importance of securing the support of the women voters. With the advent of woman upon the unchartered sea of politics we may well ask, has man lost his grip upon the lever of government and slowly descending from his high estate as the master and sovereign. We find many women who are natural born leaders and organizers and are the equals of most men and superior to many in intellect and capable of surpassing in many things. Women are conducting large and successful business enterprises everywhere, and almost in every line. There are a few timid women, of course, as well as feminine men. But the fact remains that through the persistent efforts of their women leaders, in spite of the men, they have almost attained their full citizenship. Whether the majority of the women voters will be influenced by their husbands or brothers, or whether they will generally follow their women leaders remains to be determined. They have their own women's voters league and clubs and different organizations and they are active and interested in their new adventure. They are actually doing for themselves and forcing the issue constantly. Whether the bosses and the old line politicians of the two parties want it or not, they are forced to welcome them because of their potency and great numbers, backed with a woman's will and determination to be heard and recognized. What influence upon the future policy of this government in the granting of universal suffrage will have will be watched closely by theorists and others. The fact that we have nation-wide prohibition is largely due to the vote and influence of women. What the stand will be of the women generally in regard to the League of Nations is a question yet to be determined. But it is to be presumed that they will follow the platforms in that respect of their parties. There can be no doubt that the great world war just ended has given woman her greatest opportunity to display her ability. In Mr. Hoover's food administration the women did yeoman service. Much of the success of the Liberty Loan drives was due to the excellent and effective work of the women throughout the country. The Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army, all depended largely upon the enthusiastic help of the women. Thus we find that at the close of the great war, woman, by her works, has moved up several notches in the world's estimation, and now in her first presidential campaign we predict that many of these same women will be working and planning and advising and even speaking side by side with the men. CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS Copy of a letter from Rev. J. T. Muse of Woodland, California; Woodland, Cal., June 28, 1920. The Civic League of Colored People, Cheyenne, Wyo. Mr. President and members of the Civic League: While reading the Cheyenne, Wyo., News in which I am much interested, for three reasons. First, I claim it my home, secondly, I have a host of friends there; thirdly, I am interested in the Civic League because it stands for civic affairs, rational pride and uplift. While reading The Colorado Statesman issue of June 19th, 1920, I noted the grand work of the Civic League of Cheyenne, and in noting the various donations at different times for various purposes, and the good work that had been done, and is being done through the Civic League at different times as was mentioned in The Statesman. Now coming down to the recent work of the Civic League, which I think is a great credit to the Colored citizens of Cheyenne; The donation of three hundred dollars to the Memorial hospital of Laramie County. The Statesman's reporter states, "We do not question any person's right to donate his hard earned money as one sees fit to do; it is the undeniable right of all. But we do claim that the way to receive racial recognizances is to pledge through a racial organization." Amen, for the Statesman's reporter. The man who fails to rally and snubs the thing that is not only credible to the race, but helpful to the individual as well, such a person or persons who are guilty of such need be pitied and prayed for. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Attached please find a check on the First National Bank of Cheyenne, Wyo., for five dollars as a donation to ward your three-hundred-dollar hospital fund; donated by myself and wife. We may never, never live there again, but this is to encourage the good work that you are doing. Our best wishes for the League. And please allow me to congratulate you upon your wide awake and energetic president and secretary. Hold fast to them as long as you can. We are getting along nicely in our pastoral work and our people are very kind to us. Im yours in the cause of Christ and for racial uplift. J. T. MUSE. The letter from Rev. J. T. Muse speaks for the manhood within him; speaks for racial and civic pride and friendship. Such men are the making of a nation. Rev. Muse during his life in this community has stood for those things which make a better people. Only those who have received blessings from the Father can perceive Rev. J. T. Muse's true worth to this community. In addition to the other donations, previously published, to the Civic League's hospital pledge are: Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Roebnett. $10.00 Mrs. Edna Ruffner. 5.00 Mr. William Smith. 5.00 Walter Davis. 5.00 Rev. J. T. Muse and Mrs. Muse. 5.00 Mrs. Allie Smith was requested to read her paper, "Important Race Happenings." The paper was read at the regular weekly meeting of the Cheyenne Civic League of Colored People Mrs. Smith has a very pleasing personage and is ever ready to do her "bit" in racial, social and civic affairs. Her "Important Race Happenings" was discussed by most members present at that meeting, June 24th. Wm. Sprague, grand master of Colorado and jurisdiction, F. & A. Masons installed at public installation in Eagle's hall on June 23rd the following officers of Western Star Lodge No 6, F. & A. Masons: A. M. Patimer, W. M.; Walter Davis, S. W.; William Redd, J.

Benjamin and Jackson Lewis were installed by proxy. The installation was the most interesting event in Masonry that has occurred in this city for many years. The craft has now a progressive class of new officers who will endeavor to place Free Masonry in its just place in our community. After the installation Grand Master Sprague addressed the craft and friends, paying tribute to Masonry and the fourteen Masons who set up the first lodge in Colorado under the Missouri jurisdiction in 1867 and to the thirty-one Masons who organized the Grand Lodge of Colorado in the year 1876. Brother Sprague's address was inspiring and his visit to Cheyenne will result in cementing the craft into a common unit for the benefit of themselves and this community. Western Star Lodge No. 6, F. and A. M., held the annual celebration of St. John at the A. M. E. Church, June 27th, at 2:30 p. m. A goodly number of Free Masons assembled at the lodge room and marched to the church. Rev. J. M. Endicott preached the annual sermon accepting for his text King's Land, tenth chapter, and a part of the tenth verse. Rev. Endicott's oration was an advice to build well the order on Masonic and Christian principles. Many citizens express a desire to come in touch socially with the members of Western Star Lodge. Masonic entertainments are conducted in a manner that will gather together the best families in any community. Mr. W. Smead is employed at Delline's garage. Mrs. W. M.

Mr. George Ballinger has returned to make old Cheyenne his permanent home. Bro. Wm. Sprague, Grand Master of Colorado, was the guest of Western Star Lodge No. 6 and abode while in the city at the domicile of Mr. and Mrs. George Randall. A large and appreciative congregation attended the service at the Second Baptist church on Sunday evening, June 27th. The new choir sang some beautiful and interesting songs, solos and Rev. C. O. Miller of Denver preached an able sermon Sunday and Monday evening. Mrs. Otis West is president of the choir. Other members are Frank M. Combs, Ida Anderson, chorister; Mrs. Norman Peniston, Miss Atwood Foutman and Mr. Winslow. The Second Baptist choir will improve the service as a good choir is a wonderful assistance to the pastor. Rev. C. A. Miller and Mr. John Foster were the Monday dinner guests of Reverend and Mrs. C. O. Smith. Mrs. C. O. Smith was an interesting visitor at the Civic League meeting on Thursday night. Brother E. J. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson of the Pentecostal Mission, departed the city on June 19th. Brother Johnson will travel east in mission field and his ambition is to go to Africa in the cause. The Johnson's have been in our midst almost a year and have the confidence of all who have become acquainted with these good people. We wish them God speed in the cause of Christ. SON GRADUATES MOTHER FROM RURAL SCHOOL Lawrence C. Jones of "The Piney Woods Country Life School" Pulls Off Unique Commencement. Braxton, Miss., June 24.—The word, commencement, always brings to the mind music and flowers and oratory, but down in the Piney Woods, Lawrence C. Jones and his school have given it a new meaning. Along with music and flowers and oratory, he has added the clang of the anvil, the pounding of the gasoline engine, the ring of the hammer and the song of the saw. The boys and girls who graduated not only delivered their graduation speeches, but demonstrated them at the same time. One boy made a batch of cement and formed a block while talking, another welded a tire for a wheel, making sparks fly over the chapel. A girl made up a batch of bread and baked it, another measured a girl and cut and fit a dress. While the audience was watching the bread baker and dressmaker, another girl demonstrated many practical and useful articles the new rural school teacher is required to make. The climax of the commencement was when the aged mother of Principal Jones came forth and made a broom on machinery at one end of the platform and explained the process and showed the audience several different kinds of brooms she had been required to make in order to complete the course. The local white friends and throng of Colored people burst into enthusiastic applause when Principle Jones presented his mother her diploma, along with the other graduates.—From the Daily Clarion-Ledger, (Jackson, Miss.) PIONEER IN PEANUTS. The peanut, long regarded as a simple but necessary accompaniment to attendance at the circus, has now attained importance as a commercial product, the annual production in this country being placed at $40,000,000. The peanut industry now has a journal devoted to giving it publicity; while fifty-eight different products are enumerated as resulting from this plant. The peanut is regarded as of African origin and the first peanut picker and vender in Virginia was of that race, his name being Ben Hicks. He not only made the culture of the ground nut popular but he invented and patented a machine for picking the nuts, as well as a peanut planter and a manure distributor. This machine was operated so successfully as to gather more nuts in a day than fifty field hands could pick in a week. Unfortunately the inventor received but little profit from it, as he was induced to surrender his patents to those furnishing the capital for promotion and soon found himself frozen out of the combination. The peanut is also known as the ground pea and the ground nut, and in some of the Southern States is called the goober and the pindar. Immense quantities are produced on the west coast of Africa and it is also largely grown in South America. Its chief use was for making oil, but it is now used for consumption in many shapes, peanut butter and confections being the most generally known. Two large factories, one at Birmingham, Ala., and the other at Albany, Ga., are engaged in the manufacture of machines based on the idea originating with Ben Hicks, the pioneer in the peanut production.

IN OUR recent travels through the East we took marked observations of the conditions and the progress of our people in some of the larger cities, notably Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore, where the larger colored population, as a rule, exists. In some of these cities the colored population is amazingly large, numbering in some instances over one hundred thousand Negro inhabitants. It appears that the great migration in recent years from the Southland has been, in most part, to the above named cities. We find a large increase of Negro business of all kinds and, generally speaking, the great majority of these Negroes are employed here and there in many different employments. The great Eastern railroad systems give employment to thousands as section hands and again many are employed in stockyards and warehouses and all along the line of common labor. They are paid far better wages than they received in the South and naturally they are spending accordingly, with no thought of saving, except in a few cases. In a large measure the colored business receives a liberal amount of patronage from this class of laboring men and a constant volume of money is kept in circulation, but only to return soon to the very source from which it comes. To illustrate, take the man who is employed in the stockyards. He receives his pay at the end of the week and he pays his meat bill at the butcher's. The butcher takes that money and pays the packing house where he bought the meat that was prepared for the market by this same Negro laborer. He goes to the shoe store and buys his wife and child and himself a pair of shoes each. The shoe merchant pays the manufacturer for his goods with the laborer's money; the manufacturer takes this same money and pays for the hides at the packing house. So it goes on and on through the channels of commerce and each man who has handled or received the Negro laborer's money has made a large profit for himself. What has the Negro to show for his labor? Nothing but a run-down pair of shoes and the memory of a beef stake. That brings us to the all-important and paramount proposition of producer and consumer. If a tenth even of these Negroes who congregate in the large cities would come West and locate on a tract of government land and raise sheep, hogs and cattle and become producers instead of all consumers we might soon get some where. THE COLORADO STATES-MAN advises these people to come West and become producers. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Quite a number of visitors are already in the city for the summer. Many of them have called by the "Y." Some of them are from cities where large "Y" buildings have already been built, and they have told of the helpful influence exerted by work done in them, and assure us that the same will be felt here when a modern building has been secured. What with outdoor-indoor ball, croquet and other games the boys have been having a good time since the close of the school. Some of them play almost as well as the men, and are looking forward to promotion. The men's games are truly waxing warm. Some evenings as many as a dozen players are on hand. A silent but stubborn battle is being waged between King and Sims. Up to this writing King has slightly the better of the fight. King and Blakemore gave Sims and Stripling such a drubbing on Monday evening that the two were ashamed to look their friends in the face. Even the winners themselves were surprised at their victory. Later ```markdown ``` in the week Stripling defeated Wilson, 3 to 2. Wednesday evening, Adolphus and Alonzo Lightner whipped King and Blakemore to a frazzle. Great games are being scheduled for next week. But, listen— Mr. Parks has become manager for a champion croquet player, who wishes to meet the very best in the city. Any champion or good player is at liberty to accept the challenge. Great and interesting times are just on ahead. E. P. BLAKEMORE? Attorney and Counsellor at Law.

WILLIAMS-JOHNSON BOUT DRAWS BIG HOUSE Fern Hall had a capacity house last Wednesday evening when our popular Denver boxer, Scotty Williams, was matched to box Cyclone Johnson of Pueblo. It was clearly noticeable that Scotty showed superiority from the first round when he floored his opponent for the count of nine with a hard swing to the jaw. The bout continued to the ninth round when with hard rights and left to the body and a final hard right to the jaw, Cyclone Johnson was knocked out. In the preliminary, Joe Flynn and Dutch Myers boxed four rounds to a draw, and in the semi-windup, our veteran, Kid Bell and Ramsey fought a hard six-round draw, giving a good exhibition of the fistic art. Refereed for the main event was Johnny O'Keefe, while our popular and distinguished fire-fighter, Albert Dorsey, refereed the other events. We are informed Scotty Williams will make a trip to Detroit, Mich., and Memphis, Tenn., to engage in two great boxing contests at a very early date. A CORRECTION.

Today there are certain happy conditions, such as high wages and larger salaries, which make it possible to assure the happy future of someone. Not fully realizing the situation, some people are living right up to their increased incomes—not alone living well, but extravagantly—and by so doing they are assuring the futures of the families with whom they spend this excess money. Other people see clearly that NOW is the time to save. That these days offer opportunities to assure their families of pleasant futures. These latter people have savings bank accounts.

Where it Is possible to have but a small garden spot, vegetables of varl- ous kinds may be grown and thus re- duce the cost of living and furnish the family with the needed food, String honns served with butter, mill, bacon fat or in salads will furnish food which contains a right proportion of the food principles. | tr is pleasant to be reminded that sugar Is a luxury that could be large- ly eliminated with no bad erfeets. Now that summer is with us, a diet of fresh vegetables, fruits and mitk in plenty and at regular intervals will not be i diet difficult to follow.

Baboons and an Airplane. Writing of the passing of an Avro biplane over Uitenhage en route to Port Elizabeth, a South African news- paper has the following to say: “Mr. Norman Chase relates a peculiar expe- rience he had in connection with the plane, He was bathing at Kamaehs, when he noticed a number of baboons which were In the vieinity showing un- mistakable signs of fear. They erowd- ed together and whimpered, giving every indication that —_ something unusual had disturbed them. Mr. Chase's dog. a well-trained Airedale, and known to be plucky and fearless also became unensy, and appeared to be in dread of something, On looking round for the cause of all the trouble, Mr. Chase observed the airplane flying overhead at a comparatively low al- titude.

Country was George Washington, but the Father of the Fourth of July was Thomas Jeffer- son. Jefferson wrote the Decliration of Independence, which was adopted and signed on the fourth duy of July, 1776, | Forever therenfter that day was and will be “the Glorious Fourth.” The Declaration of Independence was a special plea for the rights of the in- dividual., The whole life of Thomas Jefferson was a protest aginst the old-time tyranny which sought to limit the development and action of indi- vidual man, Jefferson loved liberty and despised despotism. He was the principal pioneer of democracy in all the world. On—this account all that he did and said and wrote, his man- ner of living and working, his home and his surroundings, are of interest to the world. So far as real human interest gees, the home of Jefferson was and Is more fruitful of entertaining anecdote und reminiscence than the home of Wash- ington. Both homes are In Virginia. Jefferson's home, which he called Mon- ticello divided with Mount Vernon the reverence and homage of Americans who have Inherited the priceless bless- ings ef Republican government for which Washington fought with bis sword and Jefferson with his pen. Gacred to Lovers of Liberty. Monticello. is one of America’s shrines of pilgrimage. ‘The house. shown below, is three miles from the ‘own of Charlottesville. Albermarle county, 115 miles from Washington. Bewer persons visit it, because it is much more remote from the main-tray- eled roads than iy Mount Vernon, al- most within sight of the national eap- Ital. At Monticello Jefferson lived nearly sixty years, Within a stone's throw he spent his entire life. for he was born on the estate, and though he was absent for several years in France as American minister, and for elght years as president of the United Stutes, arid also in the occupancy of other offices, that was always his home. He loved it aboye all other spots on earth, from the cradle to the grave. Phere was rocked his cradle and there his grave was made, when after 83 years of Inbor for the rights of man he died on the Fourth of July, exuetly 50 years after the signing of the Dee- laration of Independence. It was giv- en to him to experience half a cen- tury of the fruits of his own efforts toward a more equitable form of gov- ernment, something new to human so- clety. History of Monticello. In 1769 Jefferson began the con- struction of his mansion on the moun- tain above Charlottesville. On New Year's diy of 1772 he took thither his bride, the beautiful young Widow Skelton, whose husband, Bathurst Skelton, had died when she was in her nineteenth year, leaving her 2 consid- erable fortune. She was about twen- ty-three when Jefferson married her, Mrs, Jefferson was a singularly bean- tifwl ‘woman, with auburn hair to match the red locks of her famous husband. She lived only about ten years after her second marriage. Jef- ferson never took another wife. His daughter was the mistress of Monti- cello and likewise the mistress of the Executive Mansion when Jefferson was president of the United States, Jefferson survived his wife 44 years. For the last 50 years of his life Jef- ferson was hopelessly insolvent. From time to time his precious estate and home were In Imminent danger of being sold over his head. His debts were due to various causes. For one thing. he put his name on notes for friends and was held responsible for large sums, Then he was an extravagant entertainer. His house was perhaps the most commodtous and manorlike in America. He was famous in two con- ctinents, Every person of distinetion who eame from Europe to visit the United States made Monticello bis chief objective point, He must see “the Suge.” It cost the Sage money. of course. ‘The chambers occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson are most interesting. Jefferson, a radical in all things, 0 progressive in an age that was not purticularly progressive, lind ideas of his own with regard to household fav- niture, Heretofore people had slept In massive, cumbersome beds, with great posts or frames at the foot and head Jefferson changed this, for himseif and wife. He built two rooms, con: nected by a wide archway. In this archway he placed the Jeffersonian bed, which was merely a large couch of simple design, minus the unneces sary foot and head work. The bed cloved up the archway, there being no other communication between the two rooms. In one of the chambers Mrs Jemersoy made her boudoir, In the other Thomas Jefferson studied and wrote, When Mrs. Jefferson was ready to retire she disrobed in her boudo'r and climbed into the bed from her side. When Mr. Jefferson sought th refreshment of Morpheus he disrob in his study and climbed inte the bei from his side, It was all very handy Jefferson's Monument. The epitaph on the original monn. ment over Jefferson's grave was writ ten by Jefferson himself. It reads: “Here was buried Thomas Jeterson author of the Declaration of tne» pendence. of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia.” It thus appears that Jefferson wis more proud of these three achieve ments than of being president of the United States, as he does not even mention the latter distinction, From @ hilltop near Monticello one may see the birthplaces of three me) whose work and wisdem added to the United States nearly one-half of fis present territory on this continent These men were Jefferson, Georse Rogers Clark and Meriwether Lewis. ‘Through the efforts of Clark the states of Ohio, Indiana, Tlinois, Wiscons'n and part of Michigan were added to our domain, Merlwether Lewis, with a younger brother of George Rogers Clark, was sent by Jefferson on the fa mous trip of exploration and discov ery which, many years later, resulted in giving Unele Sam title to the Pa- cltic: Northwest.

Also she gets more pleasure out of her achievements and there are a good many women in this favored land who have the knack of doing much with little. Thanks to the wide publicity given by newspapers to all matters of dress in centers of fashion no American need ever be behind the times in styles. Two afternoon gowns shown in the picture here, may be recommended to the seamstress who undertakes to make her own dresses. They offer a choice between long, straight lines for those who admire the slim silhouette and curved ones for those who are too slender, or those who find unbroken lines unbecoming to them. Little Maids IT IS, or it ought to be, a great occasion for the very little girl when she arrives at the splendor of her first silk dress. With it she has responsibilities thrust upon her; she must be taught to be careful to keep it clean and thus comes the beginning of her training in neatness and the unfailing charm of daintiness. Fashion decrees silk coats and frocks for little maids by the time their third birthday dawns and has selected sprightly taffeta as the prettiest and most practical of weaves for them, although neither crepe de chine nor georgette are denied them. But these softer silks are used in light colors for dress-up times while taffeta is sturdier and extends its usefulness to coats and dresses that will stand more wear. Taffeta in dark blue makes the charming little frock shown in the picture on a little girl of four. It has a quaint flavor of old times (which it is easy to achieve in taffeta) with its short baby waist, round neck and wide, ruffled collar. The bottom of THAT SPLASH OF COLOR. Organdie and novelty cotton frocks are good looking. Imported embroidered volles dotted in vari-color are given the splash of interest by a vivid sash of organdie with butterfly loops and trailing sash ends. Another treatment which is very effectively used in these volles and in the organdie frocks is two-inch insertions of shirred alle or of tucked organdie in a contrasting shade, which gives a much stitch stripe, makes the handsom- straight line dress. The design is sim- ple but original, achieving a sleeveless jacket effect in the body which slip over an underbodice carrying the sleeves. Wide satin ribbon, in a sof- quality, makes a short crushed band across the front, simulating a girdle and square buttons are set at each side where it terminates. The el bow sleeves are finished with turn back cuffs that employ a band of rib bon and buttons in the same way. There is a very simple neck with sail or collar at the back. A plain satin underskirt and bodice supply the foundation for the attract frock of georgette, which might be made of voile. It features the new neck mode—high at back and open it front, and very full ruching of plaited silk with plinked edges, at the bottom of a full, short tunic. The girdle is a folded length of blas satin. n Silk Attire the waist is finished with a frill and band of the silk, the band having slashes in it for a narrow ribbon girdle to slip through. Short ruffled sleeves are caught up at the elbow and tied with ribbon. White sox and black slippers are in keeping with this little affair of other days. Either taffeta or cotton will be successful in the pretty embroidered frock shown. It is scalloped at the bottom and set on to a narrow yoke also cut in wide scallops. A very simple stitchery like feather or cat stitching runs parallel with the scallops and little rose buds are embroidered above it. The same decoration appears on turned back cuffs that finish elbow sleeves and there is a sash of the dress material slipped through slashes cut in the body of the frock. Julia Bottomley more hand-worked effect than the insertion of narrow laces. Yellow or glandle is used in this way with gray organdle and white tulle in the pale colored frocks. Novelty Ribbons. New novelty ribbons are brilliant allies of the woman whose expenditures must be restricted, for they may be fashioned into evening bodices of bright color and rich effect, as well as into girdles and panels.
