TO ascertain which is the greatest impediment to racial or national progress is by no means an easy task, but rather one of the most difficult type. The menace, ignorance, however, plays an important part in the hindrance of progress and will be among the greatest in any classification. Although the percentage of illiterates among Negroes has been reduced for 80 per cent to 20 per cent during the last fifty-four years, that is by no means an indication that there is no room for improvement. Illiterates, according to the definition of the statisticians, are persons who can neither read nor write. If a person can read and write a little, he or she is classified as literate. For this reason, there are many so-called literates who are more or less ignorant. A Negro may be thoroughly educated in all branches of the present system of education and yet be ignorant as to the history of his own race, ignorant as to the progress of his race, as to the racial traits and various other factors relating to his race. A person may be literate and educated and yet be ignorant as to his own capabilities. Thus he may go on through life minus that quality of self-reliance which is so essential to success and with nothing to inspire him to search for his talents and to try himself out. In this manner we could continue to name and discuss numerous ways in which a person can be educated and yet ignorant, and which are detrimental to racial progress. This, however, is not our purpose, but rather to discuss the ignorance of certain groups of our own race of facts pertaining to racial progress and civilization. There are too few Negro boys and girls who have definite and extensive knowledge of the history of the Negro race. They complete the courses prescribed in the city and high schools and in many instances the colleges, yet they are ignorant of the part which the members of their race played in the development of this country. Few of them know that the record of the Negro soldier is unstained by cowardice. They do know, however, that their fore-parents were slaves and that they were liberated by the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln. They are well and fully informed as to the lives and achievements of George Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt, Wilson and many other eminent statesmen and soldiers. They are familiar with the literary works of Longfellow, Whittier, Tennyson, Bryant and other men of literary note of the white race, but they are, on the other hand, not fully informed of the lives and achievements of men and women of our race, like Frederick Douglass, Blanche K. Bruce, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Phyllis Wheltly, John M. Langston, Sojourner Truth, Booker T. Washington, Charles Young and many others who have gained prominence in literary lines or as statesman or soldiers. Few Negro boys and girls, for instance, know that a Negro constructed the first clock made in America. Likewise, we could continue to name men and women who have accomplished things which are important records in the development of the Negro race and also of this country of which the average Negro boy and girl is ignorant. The question logically arises as to why is this lack of knowledge demonstrated by the members of the Negro race. The answer is simply because the literary works and lives of Negroes are not included in the prescribed courses of our schools and colleges. For this reason we are contending that the use of Negro literature and text books should be inaugurated in every school attended by Negroes. Negro children read the description of the Negro as is usually given in the geographies, they read the exploits of the white statesmen and soldiers, they study the literature of white authors, and only hear of the accomplishments of the members of their own race when some fervent and patriotic speaker relates them. The result is that they naturally infer that they are inferior to the white children and that the deeds of Negroes are incomparable with those of other races and are not worthy of note, hence he grows up ignorant as to the real contributions of his race to civilization. This is unfair to the Negro boy and girl. They should recieve instruction concerning the lives of Negro statesmen, soldiers, educators, etc. They should be familiar with the literary works of Negro authors and with the contributions of the Negro to the progress of this country and to civilization. By placing the literary works of Negroes in the courses this ignorance of racial achievement would be allayed, race pride would be stimulated and in addition by reading of the hardships which some of the men who have gained fame, have been forced to overcome, it would inspire the Negro boys and girls of this age to tackle obstacles, apparently insurmountable and uncongenerable, with such zeal and determination that success would be assured them.—Tuskegee Student. WILL NEGRO WOMEN IN THE SOUTH HAVE VOTES? To the Sun and New York Herald: Now that the Nineteenth Amendment has been ratified it may be well to take a closer look at the thing. Soon we shall hear campaign speakers pointing with pride to it as a great achievement of the Republican party, but does any sane person believe that the colored women of the Southern states will be permitted to vote under the Nineteenth Amendment any more than the colored men of those states were permitted to vote under the Fourteenth Amendment? The Nineteenth Amendment will fare no better than the Fourteenth so far as the Southern states are concerned, because the Democratic politicians of that section, knowing the timidity of the Republican party with regard to the Fourteenth Amendment, will nullify and ignore it at their pleasure. The women of the Eastern, the Northern and the Western states have the ballot without this amendment; the colored women of the Southern states will not have the ballot with it. Brooklyn, August 31.

P. Attorney-at-Law, fo tative, subject t Primaries, Septemb The subject of this article was born in Crockett County, Tennessee, in 1879, the son of a Methodist minister. When quite young he was carried by his father to Nashville, where he attended the public schools, after which he entered what was known as the Central Tennessee College, which is now Walden University. Having finished the normal course, he began the study of law in the same school, graduating with honors in 1903. Attorney Blakemore began the practice of law at Indianapolis, Ind. After two years he located at Okmulgee, Indian Territory, which was the capital of the Creek nation. He remained there six years, during which time the Indian Territory was admitted into the Union as the state of Oklahoma. He won much popularity in Oklahoma and was considered one of the best practitioners in the state. His friends in Kansas then persuaded him to move to Wichita. Here he held several responsible positions. He has received much praise from the best thinking people of both the Negro and white races. He is a race man through and through. This has been shown throughout his career; for all along we have read of his fights in cases where the principles of our race were endangered. And in many of the leading papers of America we read of his fights COMPLETE REORGANIZATION BY PLANK IN REPUBLIC TO FEDERAL DEF Colored Employees to Fin in Their Off Washington.—One of the shortest planks in the Republican platform is one of the most significant and refers to the reorganization of federal departments and bureaus. Aside from the pledge being marked with the sound business sense that has characterized the Republican idea of administration of public economics, it will reach one of the sources of racial humiliation that the present administration has visited upon its colored employés, the evil of segregation. Reorganization with a view to consolidation, the elimination of "duplication, delays and overlapping of work," means that this humiliation will be forever dispelled. Of course, the Democrats have absolutely no conception of economy. Their party has never done anything in a constructive way. It is essentially a party of penury aid as such depends upon its brief authority to destroy what others have accumulated. Segregation, the detestable practice born of prejudice, that makes a colored clerk or other employé isolated from others engaged in the same work; the provision of separate toilets and other quarters for a man or woman because he hap- --- for the principles of the Negro race. In many of these fights he neither expected or received pecuniary compensation, but simply fought for what he believed to be helpful to his people. Leading men all over the Union speak of him as an abled and trustworthy promoter of the principles of the Negro race. And since he has been here in Denver, those of us who read can testify that he has scored several victories for the race. Not once has he been known to betray the trust that we, as members of the Negro race, have put in him. And from each of the places where he has practiced we learn that his reputation has been one that we should be proud of. "Let us give honor to whom honor is due." Attorney Blakemore is vice-president of the Colored Civic Association, one of the largest associations of its kind. It is composed of some of the best citizens of Denver. He served five years as attorney for the Wichita Railway and Light company, also of the Arkansas Interurban Railway Company, headquarters at Wichita, Kan., for two years, before coming to Denver. ACTION PROMISED PUBLICAN PLATFORM DEPARTMENT MACHINERY ind Conditions Improved Official Work pens to be colored, is an extravagance in itself. The Democrats wasted the public money to live up to their tenets that one governmental employé should not be treated with the same consideration as others of a different color. Segregation is not only a crime against a faithful race, but a crime against economy, and the people of this country treated to a saturnalia of waste are insisting that their money be no longer thrown away just for the simple purpose of satisfying the unwholesome race hatred of a crowd of southern officials who desire to impress upon the country the mannerisms and methods of their section. Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Sept. 4th.—Beginning September 1st, the Agricultural Department of Tuskegee Institute will be under the directorship of Prof. B. F. Hubert. Professor Hubert was formerly director of the Agricultural Department of the State College of South Carolina. He comes to Tuskegee with a splendid record and a widely-known reputation. He is a graduate of the Collegiate Department of Morehouse College, Class of 1900, and also a graduate of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Class of 1912. He went directly from the latter college to assume his duties as Director of the Agricultural Department at the State College of South Carolina. COLORED PEOPLE WANT RECOGNITION OF DEAD WITH OTHER HEROES Washington. — Destroying military associations that had obtained in Massachusetts for fifty years, whe Secretary Baker refused to permit company L (colored organization) to rejoin its old regiment, was generally remarked throughout the country, but this disposition to discriminate against the colored soldier is nothing new with the Democratic administration, Studied humiliation, either inspired or condoned by the war department, was the rule in France, and the discouragement of combatant troops of colored soldiers was generally followed. It is being remembered in Washington that when the administration was having its brushes with Mexico, official cognizance of white valor and black valor varied in remarkable degree. Huerta had refused to salute the flag and the United States marines landed in Vera Cruz. Several white boys met their death, and when their bodies were returned to this country, the President very properly journeyed to Brooklyn to do honor to their memory. His words over those brave boys were classic and fraught with tears. Later, when the brave black boys of the Tenth cavalry, after performing deeds of heroism striving to save the lives of their white commanders, fell in defense of the same flag, it is said that the Democratic administration treated the incident in a different manner. The colored boys were brought to Washington for interment with the honors of war at Arlington. Friends had assembled to follow them to their graves. It is being told upon good authority that Joseph Tumulty requested the people who had the arrangements in hand to have the funeral procession go out the deserted streets so that the dirge would not disturb the slumbers of the occupant of the White House. SENATOR STARKWEATHER A Candidate for Lieutenant Governor Republican Primary Election September 14, 1920. James C. Starkweather, candidate for lieutenant-governor at primary election Tuesday, Sept. 14, and designated by the Republican state assembly last August. Born at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Feb. 16, 1859, and graduating from Brown university in 1880, he studied at the Boston Law school and was afterwards admitted to practice law by the supreme court of Rhode Island, Jan. 26, 1883. In August of the same year he removed to Denver, Colo., where he has since resided, actively engaged in the legal profession, enjoying a lucrative practice and having a large clientele. United in marriage to Miss Alice L. Kent at Austin, Ill., July 15, 1890, to which union was born a son, John K. Starkweather, June 16,1891, Denver, Colo. Republican in politics and pertaining to the progressive ideas of the late ex-President Theodore Roosevett, he made quite an impression on the NO.48 electors of Colorado, who, in spite of a Democratic landslide in this state in 1916, elected him to the state senate by a large majority. Serving this body for four years, during which time he exercised a keen interest in the enactment of laws promoting the welfare of the city and county of Denver, also the state of Colorado. He obtained the passage of a bill conferring upon Denver jurisdiction over its mountain parks, and played a very important part in the passage of the Moffat tunnel bill and legislation for the improvement of our public schools. He is a strong advocate of state-wide primary elections, having successfully defended the cause against the former system of nomination for public of free. His stand on prohibition is well known, as he had charge of the bill in the senate ratifying the national prohibition amendment. Measures relating specially to the welfare and protection of women and children had his hearty support, also the care of the aged and the blind. He has always been outspoken in championing the cause of the constitutional right of the Negro, and has no more than one occasion denounced unfair dispensing of the law and segregation towards the colored people of this state, as well as of the nation. Agrees and argues that the amendments to the constitution guaranteeing the citizens' civil rights should apply to all citizens irrespective of color or class. He is a member of the Union lodge No. 7 of the Masonic fraternity, and has been the president of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution in this state. The nomination of James C. Starkweather as lieutenant governor of Colorado at the primaries next Tuesday, Sept. 14, will be hailed with delight by the majority of voters, and The Colorado Statesman, with its knowledge and experience of Mr. Starkweather for several years, can certify as to the principles of the political platform of this gentleman and trusts the electors of Colorado will show their interest and approval of a worthy citizen. WHITES RAPE COLORED GIRLS IN TEXAS. Marshall, Texas.—Two young girls were held up on the public streets at night by two police officers illegally arrested and outraged in the town lockup and then set at liberty before sun-up. There has been no talk of lynching because these girls are colored and the men white. The two young colored girls, both under sixteen years, were on their way home with escorts, when they were accosted by Patrolman M. McCay, and Constable J. Melton, both white, on the technical charge of "disturbing the peace." The charge was only a ruse to get the party to the lock-up, where the boys were kept in the basement, and the two girls taken upstairs where they were shamelessly raped. Parts of their clothing were torn off in the struggle to defend themselves. Later, the two girls were carried downstairs, to their escorts, and the party told to, "shut their mouths, and beat it." They were threatened with death if they "squeaked." They were later advised to leave town until the affair had subsided.

His mother attempted to pull him away and she also was knocked to the ground. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. The 1920 crop of wild raspberries proved to be a pumper one and the service berries and choke cherries have added a great deal to the larders of Ouray folk. The high price of sugar is not so keenly felt when the berries are free for the picking, and many have put up a great deal of preserves, jams and jells this summer, drawing upon nature's supply of wild berries almost exclusively.

MEETING! Over Colored Civic Association will be streets, upstairs, Tuesday eve, Sept. 14, business of importance. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. It was pointed out in the notes a week ago that the program for the fall work will open up around the first of October—the fall and winter term extending from October to December 20, and the winter and spring term from January to April 1. Our Sunday afternoon meetings, which had such a splendid and successful run last season, will open about the first Sunday in October. The plan is to hold them in Fern Hall, as was done last year. As lively and bright and helpful as the programs were last season, it is planned to make them even more so during the coming season—"better and always better." With the boys now in school we are having more calls for boys to take jobs than we have ever had before. Some of them offer good pay, but it is very difficult to find boys who are not working. Labor Day saw a large group around the building. The boys met early in the day and put their croquet ground in order and had great fun the remainder of the day. A feature of the afternoon—and a pleasant one it was, too—was an exciting game of croquet between the young Misses Casey and Fruser, representing the Y. W. C. A., and Mrs. Stripling and Mrs. Bennett, representing the Y. M. C. A. Croquet Club. The "lagging" gave the opening play to the Y. W. tram. The first player ran the two opening arches, the lower first, and rested her bail in exact position two feet from center. It looked as if the visiting team was going to take the game "hands down," but the ball was almost immediately played out of position by the opposing player, who caught her partner's ball at rather long range. This put the "danger ball" at a disadvantage, and for a while the game "see-saw back and forth. After running the upper first on the return, the home team steadily gained on their young opponents and won the game just as the latter caught the center position. Mr. George C. King acted as umire or referee throughout the game and pronounced it one of the prettiest played this season. Considering the fact that the Y. W. girls were wholly unacquainted with the grounds (the court being almost double the size of their court), it was admitted on all sides that they put up a splendid game. Later games between the two organizations are to be staged in the near future. St. Rita was canonized in 1900 She is called the saint of the impossible, and is generally pictured holding a bunch of roses. When she was dying, it was in the winter and cold and she asked one of the nuns at her bedside to go to the garden to pick her a rose. Those about her be thought that her mind was wandering but one of them, as a matter of form went to the garden, and, behold, or one of the bushes was a beautiful rose. St. Rita. TO PLAN RELIEF FOR LIVE STOCK TO PLAN RELIEF FOR LIVE STOCK FINANCIERS CONFER OVER THE CRISIS THAT CONFRONTS WESTERN STOCKMEN. SITUATION IS SERIOUS LIVESTOCK MARKETS ENDANGERED BY HIGH PRICED FEED THROUGH WINTER. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Chicago, Sept. 10.—Packers, bankers and livestock producers are meeting in the Continental and Commercial Bank here to solve one of the most perplexing economic situations which has confronted this nation in many years. It's a matter of financing livestock producers so that the 100,000,000 people in the country may have meat to eat. Leading bankers and producers, spokesmen for thousands of sheep and cattle raisers, will decide just how much financing will be necessary to carry the West along, for the West is said to be on the brink of bankruptcy. It was estimated today that perhaps $500,000,000 will be necessary to buy feeders and high-priced feed and work through the winter for the next few years' markets. Local bankers, whose institutions carry much cattle loan paper, think probably one-half this amount will suffice. Summed up, the situation is this: Ranchers spent much money in higher wages for hired hands, costlier hay, corn and oats, higher interest rates, only to sell their cattle on a weakened market, responding to the public demand for lower cost of living. In other instances western bankers loaned amounts on cattle on the basis of what the cattle should have brought in a good and average market. As prices slumped the bankers, seeing margins of safety diminishing, called their loans. The rancher, forced to liquidate, threw his cattle on the market. Another loss. For some time the stockyards have received fine young cattle which should have pastured and fattened for another season at least. It is on these that the next few years' supply depends. The question was asked: "Why throw these on the market? They are only feeders." The answer is that it is costing too much, wages and feed considered, to feed cattle. And if these young ones are to be killed now, where will the food come from in the next few years, was the question asked in the industry. A preliminary conference has been held but it was informal and merely a "get acquainted" session. A. E. de Ricques, the Denver cattleman, said: "Personally, I believe it will be difficult to evolve a specific plan; perhaps the psychological effect of these large interests advising the country that they are back of the industry and will do their utmost to see it is financed will be the chief result of the gathering. "I do not favor the creation of a special fund for the use of the industry as such funds are usually not available and fall to effect the purposes for which they were intended." Dies Where He Killed Man. Kansas City, Mo.—Michael McDonald dropped dead of heart disease on a street corner here within a few feet of the spot where, seven years ago, in self-defense, he shot and killed Michael Ciglich. Philippines to Deport Chinese. Manila, P. L.-More than 3,000 Chinese on the islands of Mindanao and Sulu, who entered the Phillippines from Borneo in violation of the immigration laws, will be deported in accordance with a decision of the Phillipine council of state. The Chinese were alleged to have smuggled large quantities of opium into Mindanao and distributed it throughout the Philippines. The territorial authorities are much concerned over the existence of a big opium traffic, and have taken drastic measures to wipe it out. Sleeping Sickness Cause Found. Saratoga Springs, N. Y.—Discovery of the cause of "sleeping sickness" was reported by Dr. L. S. Weehler of Columbia University to the state conference of health officers and public health nurses, in session here. The origin, he said, was found to be a filterable virus, which, in experiments, has transmitted the disease from man to monkeys. Washington.—Shipping Board officials had admitted that the great transatlantic liner Leviathan, formerly the Hamburg-American liner Vaterland, the sale of which was blocked by the Hearst newspapers, may never again be seen on the high seas. This is due to the fact that the great liner, now aground in the mud of her Hoboken dock, has deteriorated to so great an extent that it will require an outlay of no less than $8,000,000 to put her again into condition for sea service.

OUR DUTY. het we owe a duty to our fellow-men and ourselves on the lo- cal political situation goes without saying, as everyone is cog- nizant of the fact that this is a political government, and each indi- vidual has the right to exercise the powers vested in him or her as to whom should be chosen to be their representative in city, state and national governing and law-making bodies. While no one has at- tempted to challenge our political creed or faith, as our years of at- tachment to the Republican party and the credit to be given them ab- solutely for whatever enjoyment of citizenship as well as civie liberty enjoyed by us are established facts, yet we are approached by several candidates of our party and requested to support them for nomina- tion next Tuesday for the same positions. It does not take any aca- demie student or any graduate of a great educational institution to declare the impossibility of supporting three or more candidates for the same position, where every indication points to only one sueceed- ing, and therefore as all these candidates, or the majority of them, have been designated by the Republican assembly—they having got- ten the required number of votes to place their names on the ballot— as a Republican journal we feel that we cannot take the stand of praising the one and denouncing the other; magnifying the goodness of one and traducing or vilifying the other, as our political faith up to the present has never changed, and because we have never linked ourselves to the chain of the Demoeratie party in any form or fea- ture, we deem it unwise to follow the actions of some of our fellow- Republicans, both colored and white, who, acting in collusion with Democrat partisan voters, are dividing and subdividing our party over the primary issue so as to have a weapon against us in the FINAL. An experienced business head once said: ‘‘No business ean con- tinue to make large sales on a basis of misrepresentation, exaggera- tion and dissatisfied customers,’’ and the application is very fitting during this campaign, in which unnecessary abuse, vile epithets and unbecoming assaults from tongue and pen are being hurled at the supporters of the respective candidates as well as the candidates themselves. When men learn to do BIG THINGS IN A BIG WAY they qualify as men, and therefore THE COLORADO STATESMAN cannot in a sane and judicious frame of mind allow itself to be coerced into acts that will help to divide and weaken our forces against the Demoeratie party, that is not only uniting its forces but entering the ranks of Republicans and waging a system of disrup- tion so as to win their fight after the primary. Our journal wishes every candidate success, and is ready to sup- port Republican victors with all its strength and influence. At this time we advise our people to rise early and go to the polls on Tues- day next, voting for the candidates of their choice, and as real Re- publicans, whoever succeeds if otherwise than your choice, lend your whole support to their suceess in November. Says a writer, ‘Tact never hurts anybody; it is a produet of brains and sensibility’; and if more of our people would study political ethics, they surely would be in a better position to advocate their candidates’ cause without resorting to that which they must surely repent. oe THE STRUGGLE. Wee we calmly review the achievements of the Negro in in- dustry for the past few years, notwithstanding the great oppo- sition he has had, and the many obstacles he has overcome, we feel that he has more than made good. When first called upon in the great emergency to fill the depleted fields of the varied industries he was received with doubt. Although the work to which he was sent was, in a measure, new to him, and in a strange land, he soon found himself at home, and with a song and a smile he began to apply himself to the task, and with his usual good nature, he grad- ually overeame the doubt that existed at first and much of the vio- lent, prejudice that opposed him, Gaining each day more confidence in himself and his ability to make good, we find that the Negro is a potent factor in most all of the fields of industry. Taken fresh from the field into the manufactories was a long step forward, and natu- rally caused the employer to doubt. That the Negro perhaps was at first a little nervous we do not doubt. But once he gained confi- dence in himself he began to produce to the satisfaction of all. That he has overcome the great obstruction of organized labor is evidenced by the fact that the American Federation of Labor has admitted him to membership. ‘To say that it was a struggle does not half express it. Having awakened to a sense of his opportunity as an indystrial worker, and the great manufacturing employer realizing his easy and dontented disposition, free from strikes and disloyal organizations, more are coming from the fields with places waiting for them. In many of the large cities of the East they haye been employed by the thousand. We find that in Chicago it is reported that over sixty thousand Negro men and women have been employed in the many different industrial plants. All through Ohio, Pennsylania and Michigan the industrial doors have been thrown open to the Negro laborer, and he has entered and made good. By our press dispatches and reliable statistics we are informed that in Detroit, Mich., one automobile man- ufactory employs sixteen thousand Negroes. The demand is greater than the supply, so well and efficient has the Negro performed his task. And still the struggle goes on. Many factories are openly seeking Negro labor, and the only reason there are not more employed is because the Negroes have not applied. When we see the color line in the industrial field breaking down it is a sign that America is coming to her senses. Both labor and capital have realized at last that the Negro laborer is an asset, and they are now both bidding for his support. If we are but strong and patient, honest and earnest and render a full day’s work for a day’s pay, we will win the struggle in the end. HON. GREELEY W.

Immediately on their return they will go to Grant, Neb., where they have a four days' contract, which will net them a neat sum. John Chavious, the Brighton Beau Brummel, is enjoying his vacation in Colorado Springs and Manitou. He will also visit the Boulder County fair, where he will have an opportunity to behold the lassies "through his monocle." Emmett Williams, former popular barber and subsequently agent of the Capitol Petroleum Oil Company, has now opened a brokerage and investment office, nicely furnished and equipped, above the Atlas Drug Company. Mr. Williams, having proved himself a successful business man in other ventures, we have every reason to believe that every success will attend his new effort and hope a large patronage from those who have had the pleasure of dealing with him. James Downs, former employe of the Continental Oil Company, last left Tuesday for Boston, Mass., via Chicago, to enter the New England Conservatory of Music. Mr. Downs possesses a good voice and was very helpful to religious and social institutions during his stay here. We wish him every success in his effort in the acquisition of the music art, and trust to hear him in a professional role sooner or later. The Service Tailoring Company, William Wilson, proprietor, is offering the best creations in their fall and winter opening at 720 East Twenty-sixth avenue, in the Five Points district. Mr. H. Anderson, tailor and manager, is a professional of several years' experience, and with the courtesy of his wife, who is a very capable assistant, best attention will be given patrons who desire elegant style and fit at moderate prices. A trial will convince. See us first and receive guaranteed satisfaction. Charles West, popular employe of the Atlas Drug Company, can be well termed the Five Points successful rental agent of business offices, as since his management of the Fern Hail business block he has not only succeeded in renting many of the apartments, but entertains a class of tenants among whom the best harmonious feature prevails. Mr. West is a very efficient clerk of several years' experience in the drug and soda fountain line, and his genial disposition and courtesy create an increasing patronage and maintain a long established prestige acquired by this firm. Mr. Freytag, druggist and proprietor, speaks very commendably of the services of this employé. FORMER DENVERITE VISITS HOME E. T. McGavock, former Denverite, now a resident of Los Angeles, Calif., arrived in Denver last week after a trip to Vancouver, B. C., Seattle and other northwest points, then Salt Lake to Denver. Mr. McGavock is very favorably impressed with the better relationship existing among the races in the cities where he remained for some time, and is much encouraged over the amelioration of conditions for our people in business and educational prospects. "There is quite a demand for employment in various positions for our people at flattering wages and salaries," he states, and Denverites and others are doing remarkably well. Mr. McGavock is the guest of his sister, Mrs. Clarence Jones, 424 Lipan street, and after spending a few days will continue his journey to the cities of St. Louis, Nashville, New Orleans, thence to Colon, through the Panama canal to Panama, up the western coast to Los Angeles, where he resumes his position, which is a very lucrative one. COLLISION OF INTERURBAN CARS ON LABOR DAY RESULTS IN MANY KILLED AND INJURED. Latest reports give nearly a score killed and 112 injured in a head-on collision on the northern side of Globeville last Monday, when an Interurban car and trailer ran into a southbound car on its way to Denver. The car going northwards carrying a large party of picknickers met the Denverbound as it rounded a curve and the terrible crash came at 1:32 p. m., causing this disaster in which many lost their lives and others permanently injured. The blame is said to be attached to the conductor and motorman who overlooked the order given them to wait at Globeville until the other train arrived, and both going at a high rate of speed could not avert the trouble at the moment. Heoric service was rendered to the wounded by their fellow passengers, also the help afforded by the police and fire departments was very commendable. Quite a number of citizens gave their automobiles for the carrying of the wounded and dead to the hospitals and city morgue. The Interurban Car Co. is owned by the Colorado and Southern railway. TO THE PUBLIC. The following notice is given that the people may know: The Cammel Undertaking Company is a progressive corporation and has recently established a branch office in Pueblo, Colo., which demands the personal attention of Mr. Cammel, the president and genral manager, and necessitates his being out of the city a great portion of the time. But he assures the patrons of the company that his personal attention will be given to any case upon request. Mr. Jesse Douglass, one of the most efficient embalmers and funeral directors in the west, has been employed by the company as manager of the Denver plant, which assures the patrons of the same degree of efficiency, courtesy and workmanship that the company has heretofore given. Mr. Douglass has no connection with the Douglass Undertaking Company whatever. LARGE NICHOLSON RALLY On last Thursday evening at Fern Hall, 2700 Welton Street, the Negro Nicholsonites had their big rally. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd of colored Nicholson supporters present. Many candidates were present. To make a definite guess at this writing as to "Who's who" and who will be the man chosen for U. S. Senator by the Republicans is too much of a prophecy. Friday evening at Fern Hall the Schuyler supporters also turned out en masse. A large crowd was present and several candidates spoke. The forces of the two factions are all lined up for the big battle on Tuesday, September 14th. We hope the best man wins for the success of the party.

(Copy for This Department Supplied by the American Legion News Service.) MAKE MOST TRAGIC COLUMN "Missing Men" List Tells Story Any Pen Would Be Unable to Portray. Little stories of the world war that bring home to a land now at peace the sacrifice of men who gave their lives on the battlefields of France and the sorrows of thousands of gold star mothers are coming to light every day in the search that goes steadily on for the missing and for information regarding the deaths of soldiers overseas. From every section of the country and from every state come these queries to the American Legion Weekly, which in its "Missing Men" column, places where all may see an array of items back of which lie some of the greatest tales of the war. "Missing Men" is in itself the most tragic column in the world. Into its short compass is compressed a host of heart throbs and a sweeping human emotion that the pen of the most gifted novelist would be unable to portray. The items are short, of necessity, but, in the few words that go to make up each, volumes are spoken. Take, for example, such communications as these: 2D INF., CO. I-Private Floyd Hiltz died July 29, 1918, after having been wounded at Vaux on July 1. Government bureaus can furnish no other information. His mother died last November, while for example, Details of his death are sought by sister, Mrs. Florence Tivess, 83 Bridgeport avenue, Devon, Conn. 25D INF., HDQ. CO.-Private Elmer P. Hughes was reported wounded on October 6, 1918, but a later letter from the adjutant general said that he had died on October 4. His mother believes that he may still be alive, and wants information from his buddies. Write Private Michal Sabak, Second company, D. B. Guard, Forteward, Kan. DU INF.-S. Suevel. Du Bois Owings died in an English army hospital at Rouen, on the Flanders front, on or about October 21, 1918. Last word from him said he was in good spirits after suffering an attack of gas. Information about his death is wanted by Philip S. Sichel, 629 Mamaroneck avenue, Mamaroneck N. Y. 10TH INF., CO. A.-Private Charles M. Smith was reported missing in battle near the town of Villette on the morning of August 25, 1918, and has not been heard from since. War department has reported him killed in action, but has not been locate or grave or find anyone who saw him fall. Further details from his buddies are desired by his brother, Omar H. Smith, 329 West Fifty-elghth street, New York City. These items, picked at random, from a typical column of "Missing Men" are only a few among thousands of a similar tenor. They tell their own stories and add themselves to the long list of mysteries of the war that may never be solved. Others, however, have been solved through the medium of "Missing Men," and many letters have come into the office of the Legion magazine containing the information sought in a published query. VISIT ATLANTIC CITY CAMP Ex-Service Men Enjoying Delightful Midsummer Vacations at Famous New Jersey Resort. With the midsummer vacation season in full swing, Camp Franklin d'Olier, the Legion holiday enterprise at Atlantic City, find itself the center of attraction for a host of former service men who are taking advantage of the opportunity to spend a week or two at the famous New Jersey seaside resort at a trifling cost. Since the formal inauguration of the camp there has been a steady influx of guests from all sections of the country, some coming from states as distant as Alabama and New Hampshire to mingle with crowds on the board walk and the beach, and live the life of a summer sojourner without undergoing the inconvenience of meeting hotel bills. The camp itself, located near the Atlantic City Yacht club, has twenty tents, capable of housing 200 men at a cost to them of $5 a week apiece. Cots, mattresses, bedding and all furnishings are provided to the Legion vacationists, and a aanteen on the grounds serves a breakfast and light luncheon. The committee in charge is composed of William C. Fisher, Frederick Hickman, James N. Butler, Walter Hanstein, August Goetz, Sam Izenskle, James Heenan, Dr. Samuel Stern, Dr. Samuel Salasin, Joseph Schwartz and Louis G. McCorkle. The plan of the Atlantic City Post of the Legion which built the camp is to make it a permanent affair, open every year to all members of the Legion. This year it will run until the middle of September, and James Butter is receiving applications for the camp up until then. George Little of the Thomas Dismuke Post, Houston, Tex., who has hurled the Legion baseball team to victory on numerous occasions, recently was given a try out by the Houston club of the Texas league, and pitched a no-hit, no-run game against Galveston.

MEDALS FOR WORLD WAR MEN Tokens Will Be Distributed by Legion to Ex-Service Men of Country on Armistice Day. Presentation of the Victory medals to which 4,800,000 soldiers, sailors and marines are entitled for service in the World war, will be carried out in thousands of communities through the agency of the American Legion on Armistice day. Acceptance of the Legion's offer to aid the war department in the distribution of the medals has been received by Franklin D'Oller, the national commander, and plans are already under way in many localities for the staging of elaborate ceremonies in connection with the formal presentation. An appeal for all of the 9,500 posts of the Legion to co-operate in the medal distribution enterprise in order that the celebration of Armistice day "may be memorable for years to come" was sent to the heads of all departments by Mr. D'Ollier. "It is with wholesome pride in the triumph of our arms in the most crucial test of strength in history," he wrote, "that the Legion appeals to all Americans to make Armistice day 1920, memorable for years to come. We desire that it shall be above all else, a tribute to our country and our flag and the flags of our allies. In other sense it should be a solemn, affectionate dedication of our lives to the principles for which more than 100,000 of our countrymen and millions of our comrades-in-arms made the greatest sacrifice." Not only will the presentation of the medals be marked by impressive ceremonies in every city and town in the country but celebrations will be AISNE - MARNE CHAMPASNE - MARNE OISE - AISNE ST. MIBIEL MEUSE - ARGONNE Victory Medal With Five Battle Clasps as Worn by the Men of the Second Division. held in nineteen insular possessions of the United States and in a number of foreign countries where there are established posts of the Legion. Had it not been for the initiative of the American Legion there would be no ceremony attached to the distribution of the medals, Mr. D'Oller points out. "I believe the American Legion can take a justifiable pride in the fact that but for it there would have been no formal observance at all of the presentation of the Victory medal," he said. "Under the original plan of distribution applicants were to apply individually, either through a recruiting station or military or navy post or direct to the adjutant general of the army or the secretary of the navy. Medals were to be sent by mail to the home address of the recipient. The award of a token so significant as the Victory medals marks an epoch in our history and should, and will be, invested with appropriate ceremony." Post commanders are now drawing from the government the official application forms with which to supply the ex-service men in their communities. The posts of New York city are providing typewriters and the free services of notaries to all applicants, inasmuch as it is necessary that all forms be typewritten and certified. Any veteran may apply to any one of the 9,500 posts in the Legion to make application for his medal. This offer applies to non-members as well as members of the Legion. Special consideration will be given gold star mothers and other next-of-kin who are entitled to the medals of men who died in the service. Unless the applicant otherwise specifies, medals applied for through Legion channels will be retained in charge of the commander of the post through which the application was made, until Armistice day when the formal presentation will be made. Men who already have applied for their medals through other channels may turn them in to any Legion post for presentation on November 11. IS RECORD BIBLE Immense Volume Now Nearing Completion in England. Book Will Be by Far the Largest Volume That Has Ever Been Constructed—Definite Purpose in Its Production. English Bible plans for 1921 center around the production of the world's largest Bible, notes the Portland Oregonian. Months of work have already been expended upon it. Many weeks more will be needed for its completion. Already, however, the frame of the great book is in being. Six stout hempen ropes, much thicker than the ordinary clothesline, are its backbone. Four of these are laced into millboards half an inch thick as a foundation for the leather covering. The back of the book is sewed with twine round the six stout hempen ropes in the old fashioned way. In every sense the biggest Bible is intended to be the finest example of book making that England can produce. But why produce the biggest Bible? The answer to this question was given by the "Bible Crusade" as follows: "The great Bible is intended to rivet public attention on the primary importance of the Bible as the fountain and source of all truth. As this unique volume is magnified in size above all other volumes, so the grandeur of the Bible ought to be magnified in value above that of all other books." A feature of the great Bible is that it will be written entirely by hand. Not more than three verses of the text will be written by the same person. Kings and field marshals will, side by side with paupers and workmen, testify their belief in the holy scriptures. At the side of the piece of text which they write all will sign their names to the following: "As my testimony that I acknowledge the Bible—as originally given to mankind—to be 'as it is in truth, the word of God,' I append my signature." The biggest Bible, when completed, will not only be the largest example of the word of God, but it will constitute the world's completeest autograph album, with signatures, it is anticipated, of most prominent English and foreign men and women from kings downward. "Twelve thousand people will be needed to complete the text. Twelve large goatskins have been used in providing a cover for the biggest Bible. When standing on end the volume is more than 5 feet 2 inches high and nearly 3 feet 6 inches wide, so that when it is opened flat it measures about 7 feet 10 inches across. The whole volume now lies at the Oxford University Press. It awaits the advent of Bible year and the gift by some wealthy crusader of a special motor car which is needed to take it on its mission in England and overseas. Perhaps the great Bible will visit America if invited to do so. The special car which is to be designed for the great book will contain a folding pulpit and a special platform for exhibiting the text of the biggest Bible and the signatures. About three thousand barrels of oil have been obtained from the various wells experimentally bored by the British government in Derbyshire (Eng.) and elsewhere. It is not a great deal. In fact, considerably more than this must have been yielded altogether by the famous Balm well, situated at St. Catherine's near Edinburgh, which during several centuries exuded a substance we now know to have been genuine petroleum. No one ever seems to have thought of refining the crude oil and using it for illuminating purposes; but it was in great repute as a remedy for skin complaints, and people so afflicted came from far and near to obtain supplies of it. Especially esteemed was the solidified petroleum which was scraped from inside the well near the bottom, and which used to be retailed, under the name of Balm of Sinai, for as much as a sovereign an ounce. Today one can buy an ounce of the same sort of stuff—vaseline—from any chemist for a few cents. Keeps Out Draughts, Admits Light. A new arrival among shades is the celluloid window shade, used to keep out draughts, says the Popular Science Monthly. It is fastened to a regular spring shade roller and has the customary stick through its lower end. You attach it to the top of the window frame just as you would an ordinary shade. Being transparent, it does not obstruct the view. The ends of the stick may be fitted in grooves in the frame to keep the celluloid from curling. Now let some one invent a shade that will shut out the light without shutting out the air. This is far more needed, especially in summer time. Electricity from small streams is the title of a recent publication issued by the department of agriculture. A. M.

QUICK WORK IS NECESSARY Gather When Kernels Are In Milk Stage, Before Glazing Has Begun —Dry Until Grains Are Hard and Semi-Transparent. A vegetable which, when dried, is above criticism even by the most critical, is corn. Other kinds of garden products may or may not be liked by many people, but dried corn is the equal if not the superior of canned corn and can be used for practically as wide a variety of purposes. The following directions for drying it are those advised by the United States department of agriculture. Any of the varieties of sweet corn having qualities desirable for table use will make a good dried product. Corn intended for drying should be gathered when in the milk stage, before glazing and hardening have begun and when the corn is in an ideal condition for immediate table use. It should be gathered only as it can be prepared for drying, as corn deteriorates rapidly. Careful Preparation Essential. Husk the ears and trim with a knife to remove any injuries. The silk need not be removed, as it can be readily separated from the corn after drying. Place the ears in wire baskets or wire-bottom boxes and plunge into boiling water for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the milk is set. A little salt may be added to the water if desired. Divide the corn into older and younger lots before blanching, as the younger ears require somewhat longer cooking than the older ones. After cooking, remove corn from the water, allow it to drain and cool sufficiently to be handled and cut from the cobs with a strong, sharp knife, taking care that none of the cob is THE WEEKLY PRESS This Club Girl Dries Corn on a Sloping Shelf Fastened to the Fence. removed with the kernels. The glumes or the hull attachments at the tip of the grains are easily screened out after the corn becomes dry. Spread the kernels upon trays to a depth of one inch if drying is done in a drier, or one-eighth to five-eights inch if the corn is to be dried in the sun. Stir the grains thoroughly several times during the drying to break up any compact masses. Sun Factor In Drying Corn. It is practically impossible to bring corn to a sufficient degree of dryness by the unaided heat of the sun. If corn is dried in the sun it should be finished by pouring into bread pans, placing in the oven of the stove, and warming to 160 degrees to 165 degrees F. for two hours. Whether the drying is done in the sun, in a cook-stove drier, or in a commercial drier, it should be continued until the grains are hard, semi-transparent, and will break with clean, glass-like fractures if crushed. Before storing free the corn of silks, glumes, and bits of cob. This may be done by pouring the corn from one vessel to another in a strong draft. When the corn is dry, store in closely woven muslin bags or heavy paper bags. Tie tightly at the neck and place within a large bag, which also should be tightly tied. Do not allow the drying process to stop from the time it is started until the corn is fairly dry. Corn is a product which contains considerable sugar and protein, and if the drying process is allowed to stop bacteria are apt to develop and souring take place. Protect it from insects. If sun drying is interrupted by cloudy weather or showers, remove corn to the stove and continue drying or the product may spoil. For Shampooing Hair. If you have oily hair, try, when shampooing it, the juice of one lemon instead of soap. Lemon cleans the hair and scalp perfectly and it cuts the oil. Improve Coffee Flavor. When making coffee sprinkle a little salt on the coffee before pouring on boiling water, and the flavor will be wonderfully improved. USE GREEN TOMATOES TO MAKE MARMALADE Recipe Given Out by Department of Agriculture. Caramel Flavor Given by Increasing Heat at Very Last—Rind of Lemon and Orange Sour Sweet (By U. S. Public Health Service). To those who are fond of the p-quant flavor of green tomatoes in made dishes, the following recipe for marmalade, given out by the department of agriculture, will be welcome: Green Tomato Marmalade. 2 pounds green tomatoes. 1½ cup of syrup. One-half lemon and 1 orange, or one-quarter cup sugar. 2½ lemons (or juices). ```markdown ``` Wash and trim tomatoes, cut into slices medium thick. Cut lemon and orange into very thin slices. (Be careful to pick out all seeds). Add sipup and sugar. A small amount of salt (one-eighth to one-fourth teaspoonful) is often considered advantageous; here, as always, it renders the sweet taste of sugar less cloying. Boiling orange peel for a few minutes in salted water prevents its hardening later, when cooked in sipup. Heat slowly, stirring until well mixed, then simmer gently until the tomatoes are soft and the marmalade has the consistency of thick, heavy jam. This will require three to four hours. There should be about one plnt of marmalade. If a caramel flavor is liked, the heat may be slightly increased at the very last so that the jam darkens at the bottom next the kettle; but great care must be taken not to overdo this effect as the jam is easily scorched. A somewhat different effect may be obtained by chopping the rind of lemon and orange. At the end of the long cooking process these bits of chopped rind seem much like chopped nuts. Orange flavor in preserves does not last indefinitely, apart from the tang of the rind. Consequently this marmalade is best when only a few days or weeks old. WATCH LABELS ON BOTTLES Poisons Should Be Kept Under Lock and Key—Antidotes to Be Used. (By United States Public Health Service.) Accidental poisoning may be prevented to a very great extent by never tasting or taking anything into the mouth which is not plainly labeled. It is also very wise to put all poisons, when they must be kept on hand, in a safe place and under lock and key. Sudden and severe sickness shortly after eating, drinking or taking medicine in a person who has been in good health, is often a symptom of poisoning. If a number of persons who have eaten the same food become seriously ill after a meal, it is almost certain that they are suffering from poisoning, probably from that form of poisoning which is due to decayed, fermented or rotten food, and which is termed "ptomaine poisoning." Such accidents should always be reported to the department of health for careful investigation. Send for a doctor at once. Direct the messenger to tell the doctor that the person has been poisoned and give the name of the suspected poison if possible, so that the doctor may bring the proper antidote. Do not wait for the doctor to arrive but give an emetic to aid in ridding the body of the unabsorbed poison. Warm water, mustard and water, salt water, lpecac or other common emetic may be employed, or the patient's throat may be tickled to produce vomiting. Do not waste time in looking up the proper dose of an emetic and repeat if profuse vomiting does not result. SALT PESKY FLEAS TO DEATH Pests Usually Get Into House Through Basement or Other Places Where Dogs Sleep. Last year was an unusually bad year for fleas about houses. The time is again at hand when, though the voice of the flea may not be heard in the land, his tickling will be felt in the flesh—unless the simple preventive is applied. Fleas usually get into the house from the basement or some place where dogs or other animals have slept. Make a thorough cleanup. Then sprinkle the floor well with salt and wet it down—not wet enough to cause it to run. It may be necessary to repeat this treatment two or three times at intervals of about three days. Cold roast pork makes a nice mock chicken salad. Fine white stockings make excellent wash cloths. Canned or fresh blackberries make a delicious shortcake. Cheese should never be placed in a tightly covered dish or jar. If your cake frosting becomes sugary add a teaspoonful of vinegar to it.

THE CANNING CORNER. BANANA D!SHES. There is as much of a diversity of opinion in regard to various pickles The wholesome banana lends itself to a variety of dishes, enhancing the as there is in regard to mother's mincemeat. We all like certain foods that we are used to eating. In the following recipes we will each choose that which seems good to us. flavor and adding to the nutritive value. VINE Banana and Prune Jelly. Souk one-half pound of prunes in water over night; cook until Cucumber Relish. Take two quarts of chopped cucumbers, two quarts of white onions, tender in the same water. Drain, remove the stones and cut in pieces. Soak half a box of gelatin in one-half cupful of cold water; add enough boiling water to the hot prune liquid to make a pint; pour over the soaked gelatin and strain the whole over four bananas, cut in cubes. Heat to the scalding point, add three-quarters cupful of sugar, three-quarters cupful of lemon juice, pieces of prunes, a little grape juice; stir until the sugar is dissolved. Turn into a mold and set aside to become firm. When cold, turn from the mold and serve with whipped cream. chopped. Put in a colander and sprinkle with a quarter of a cupful of salt. Let stand one hour, drain and wash, then drain again. Stir one tablespoonful of turnerie into a cupful of sugar; add to it one quart of vinegar and bring to a boil. Put in the cucumbers and onions and boil up once. Put away in jars well sealed. Oil Pickles. Take 100 cucumbers one-half to one inch in diameter, slice without peeling very thin, sprinkle one pint of salt over them and let stand over night with one-half dozen small onions sliced thin. Drain, but do not wash, mix with one-fourth pound each of white mustard seed, black mustard seed, four tablespoonfuls of celery seed and one-third of a pint of olive oil. Stir until well blended and add cold vinegar, good snappy vinegar, to cover. Put in glass jars and seal. Keep in a cool place. Those who like olive oil never tire of this kind of pickle. Escalloped Bananas. Stir one-quarter of a cupful of water into one pint of bread crumbs. Sprinkle the bottom of a pudding dish with the crumbs, cover with sliced bananas and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Repeat the layers until the crumbs are used. Add a little lemon juice or hot water, cover and bake 25 minutes, then remove the cover and brown. Serve as a dessert, with cream and sugar. Fruit Punch. Canning Tomatoes Whole. Boll together four cupfuls of sugar and four cupfuls of water fifteen minutes. When cool, add the juice of four lemons and six oranges, the pulp of four bananas, a pint of strawberry juice and a cupful of fresh tea; let stand on ice until serving time, then add six quarts of ice water, a pint or two of apollinaris water. Add two bananas sliced in one-quarter-inch slices. Take a gallon of water, a cupful of salt and when boiling hot drop in whole firm, ripe tomatoes. Let cook until tender but not mushy, remove with a skimmer or perforated spoon to the jar and fill, packing them well. They make their own juice. Seal carefully and in the winter you may serve whole tomatoes as a vegetable or salad. Crab Apple, Jelly. Wash and core sufficient apples to weigh four pounds, add two quarts of cold water, boil and cook for twenty minutes. To each pint of liquid add one-half pound of sugar. Put the juice in the kettle and the sugar in the oven to heat, boil the juice for ten minutes, add the sugar, cook three minutes and pour into the tumblers. Compote of Bananas With Orange Sirup. Prepare a thick rich sirup of orange juice, rind and sugar. Coc' and pour over a pyramid of peeled bananas. Sprinkle with chopped pistachio nuts; chill and serve. To him who in the love of nature holds Communion with her visible forms she looks If either man or woman would realize the full power of personal beauty, it must be by cherishing noble thoughts and hopes and purposes; by having something to do and something to live for that is worthy of humanity, and which, by expanding the capacities of the soul, gives expansion and symmetry to the body which contains it.—Upham.
