WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY CHRIS CHRISTMAS The Time of Joy and Gladness "Peace on Earth,Goo "Peace on Earth,Good Will Toward Men" FOR nearly two thousand, years the peoples of all nations have, in one form or another established a custom of commemorating the birth of Christ. In most countries this great celebration is carried out by the churches in beautiful feasts, ceremonies and carols. In our country it is a national holiday and business is suspended and everyone gives himself over to the pleasure of feasting and rejoicing. Joy is in the heart and soul of every one and the spirit of forgiveness is uppermost in the minds of all men. The word Christmas is derived from the mediaeval Christes Masse, the Mass of Christ. This is the time of the year, Christmas time, when all men shake hands and forget the past and old animosities are forgotten, for 'tis the day on which "The Christ" was born and the earth rejoices. Our Christmas comes on December the 25th of each year, and all children, be they rich or poor, know when Christmas time comes and their little souls are filled with rapturous joy at the coming of Old Santa Claus. There never has yet been created a more joyous, thrilling, exciting day for little children than Christmas. Oh, the many beautiful fairy stories that have been written about the mythical "Old Santa Claus" to add to the joy and happiness of the little children who sit up late Christmas eve to catch a glimpse of that great good man who has a gift for every child in the land. The custom of making presents is an old and ancient usage consecrated by the ages. Christmas is a day of rejoicing for all mankind, but we look upon it and think of it more as children's day, because they bring us greater happiness and pleasure in their innocent mirth and gladness in showing and telling us what "Old Santa Claus" brought them. Christmas time is the day of all the year when we exchange kind greetings with one another and give to each other gifts or presents in appreciation of our friendship. 'The Christmas tree was an old Roman custom and passed on from generation to generation and from one nation to another, until now it is a universal custom and in every home where there are children you will most likely see the Christmas tree. The hanging up of the stockings on Christmas eve is also one of the old customs to reward the children for good behavior during the past year. If a child's conduct had been good during the year he was rewarded at Christmas time with a stocking-full of presents and good things to eat. But if he had been a bad boy or girl their stockings were filled with ashes to express displeasure of the parents at the conduct of their child. In our country we have added another novel pleasure to Christmas by sending Christmas cards and friendly greetings, a custom which was introduced in the early sixties. Thus we have attempted in a brief and hasty manner to tell about Christmas and its origin and why we feast and VOL. XXVII. celebrate on that day. But, while Christmas brings its joys and pleasures and brightens many happy homes on the other hand to some it is the saddest and darkest day of the year. Think of the boy or girl who has gone astray and forgotten home and parents in the wild chase for a good time, and a fast life. To such as these we know that they are sad and that tears fill their bleared eyes on Christmas day when they think of the old home and mother and father and how happy they were on Xmas together. Again, think of the poor, unfortunate boy who is confined behind prison bars on Christmas day because he has committed some crime in violation of the laws and is there paying the penalty for his misdeeds. Do you not think that that poor soul is sad and that his thoughts are wandering back to the old homestead and to the time he once enjoyed Xmas and feasted and celebrated with mother and the rest of the children? Yes, we are sure this poor soul is sad, but not half so sad as that dear old mother and father who mourn and shed tears for their absent loved one. Therefore, we are reminded of Christmas time that we should spend our lives in usefulness, in trying to live the life and example of Christ that the world may become better for our having lived in it. What a great blessing Christmas time is and should be to all men? It has the tendency to soften our hearts and cause us to give freely to the poor and needy, and renew friendships and forgive our enemies. It brings joy to our hearts to see the little innocent children so happy and contented with their toys and their dolls that "Old Santa Claus" gave them. What a great pleasure it must bring to any one to be able to join with everyone in the true spirit of Christmas. To sing, to laugh and to play with the little children and rejoice in the birth of Christ. What a grand privilege to go to the churches to listen to the Christmas carols and hear the great choir peal forth in that wonderful anthem—"PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN." JAPAN EAGER FOR WAR ON U. S TO PREVENT REVOLT. Milan, Italy.—A leading newspaper here declares it has learned that Japan is busy preparing public opinion in that country for war with the United States. It states that the Tokio government, fearing revolution, has resolved upon war with America, even in face of the knowledge that it may be fatal to Japan. The entire press is urging war. The newspaper Yoreduzu bluntly states: "There is no possibility of settling the California question peacefully." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25 1920 BILL PROPOSED FOR POLITICAL EQUALITY. Massachusetts Congressman Questions Constitutionality of Elections in South Where Race Is Deprived of Suffrage. Washington.—The resolution introduced in the house of representatives on the opening day of the short session of Congress, by Representative George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts, proposing to cut down the representation of the southern states in order to "do political justice to all the states in the Union" is of much interest to the colored people throughout the United States, since a resolution is a vital thrust at the flagrant violations of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States. In a statement with invective against the way, he declares, the constitution has been defied, Representative Tinkham threatens that if the House attempts to make a reapportionment under the 1920 census, "which is plainly unconstitutional by avoiding the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment," he intends to appeal to the Supreme Court to decide the constitutionality of the next House. He declares his determination to make it his first and principal duty in Congress to work for the "restoration of political equality and justice in the United States." Representative Tinkham explains that "under the constitution representatives in Congress are apportioned every ten years in accordance with the population of the several states, but Congress is directed to reduce the representation of any state in proportion to the disfranchisement of any of its citizens." NEGRO METHODIST BISHOP SAILS FOR LIBERIA. Bishop Matthew Wesley Clair, one of the first two Negro bishops elected to full rank of General Superintendent in the Methodist Episcopal Church by the General Conference at Des Moines, May last, sailed on Dec. 15 from New York aboard the steamship Egba for Monrovia, Liberia, where he will take up his episcopal residence. Bishop Clair was formerly pastor of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, Washington, D. C., and during that time he rebuilt the edifice and raised the membership to its present huge proportions. With Bishop R. E. Jones of New Orleans he was elected bishop at Des Moines. He has been assigned to Liberia to fill the place made vacant by the death of Bishop A. P. Camphor of Monrovia, who died last winter in this country. Bishop Camphor was a Missionary Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Missionary Bishops were abolished at the last General Conference and all bishops of every race are now elected to full rank. Bishop Clair is accompanied to Monrovia by Mrs. Clair, Dr. John H. Reed of Liberia, and Mr. Cyril Henry of Montreal. Dr. Reed is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and a graduate of New Orleans University. For a time he was pastor of Wesley Chapel, Little Rock, Arkansas. He went to Liberia in 1905 as a missionary under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was soon made president of the College of West Africa maintained in Monrovia by American Methodists. He succeeded the inate Bishop Camphor in that position. He was also editor of "Liberia and West Africa," a publication devoted to religious life in that country. In 1914 Dr. Reed took out his citizenship papers in Liberia and was appointed principal of Donovan Institute under the Liberian government. He is also tax assessor for the city of Monrovia. He has made five trips to this country, and has been ministerial delegate from Liberia to the Methodist Episcopal General Conference of 1912, 1916 and 1920. Dr. Reed will continue in educational work in Liberia as Superintendent of Education. Mr. Cyril Henry is a native of Jamaica and a graduate of the English High School of Boston. He received his degree of Bachelor of Scientific Agriculture from Ontario Agricultural College in 1919. He is going to Liberia as an agricultural missionary under the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions. He will take charge of the industrial school and demonstration farm to be established at White Plains, Liberia, under the new Methodist Centenary program. SLAPS EX-ASSEMBLYMAN'S FACE New York.—Counsellor McDougal of 203 Broadway, New York City, a colored Republican lawyer and formerly a deputy assistant district attorney, who resented the ex-assemblyman's remarks in the county courthouse last Wednesday, is no stranger in this city. It seems that on entering the county clerk's office, McDougal was accosted by the ex-assemblyman, and it is alleged that he accused McDougal, in a very nasty manner, of being responsible for his defeat, in the manner as follows: "Why didn't you get your people out to vote for me on election day," was the defeated assemblyman's greetings. "I did everything I could," replied McDougal, "to defeat you!" It is alleged just at this time Cuvillier shouted: "Yes, you and the other niggers defeated me." This was more than the colored lawyer could stand and he asked the defeated assemblyman not to repeat the word "migger." But it is alleged that Cuvillier repeated it and there was only one thing for McDougal, that was to defend himself. At this juncture the slapping took place, and with some whispering remarks uttered by the Tammany ex-assemblyman he disappeared. LEAGUE PETITIONS CONGRESS. Asks Early Consideration and Passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill— Every Congressman Finds Petition On Desk When Congress Opens. Washington, D. C.—When Congress opened, every member of the House of Representatives found on his desk a petition from the National Equal Rights League urging him to do his utmost to secure early consideration and final passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, which is No. 127 on the House calendar. The petition, signed by the president, M. A. M. Shaw, calls attention to the continuance up to this very day of lynching, unabated, unchecked, undiminished in frequency and savagery, and cites this as ample proof of the inability of state jurisdiction to cure the evil and disgrace to the nation. President Shaw started a movement for a million dollar defense fund belonging to and controlled by the race at a mammoth meeting in his Boston church, Nov. 30th, and today started from Boston for a speaking tour of three weeks in the middle Western border states. RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources CLAIMS DRUNKENNESS BOTTOM OF TROUBLE. Port Au Prince.—"Eye Witness," the special correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, who has been giving careful observation of conditions in Haiti, has declared that drunkenness is at the bottom of most of the trouble in the republic, but the drunkenness is among the white foreigners, some officials, and not the natives. PERRY INVENTS SMOKE CONSUMER FOR BOILERS. Cincinnati, O., Dec. 16.—A smoke-consuming device which, it is claimed, eliminates 85 per cent of the smoke and saves from 10 to 20 per cent of fuel, has been installed in a test on the boiler of the Sixth district school. It is a hydro-carbon device, which creates a blanket of gas directly above the bed of coals, causing all escaping carbon to ignite within four seconds. BALTIMORE STUDENTS RAISE FUNDS FOR NEEDY HAITIANS. Baltimore, Md.—The Junior Red Cross purchased supplies for needy Haitians, which will be forwarded to the West Indian republic by Christmas. The colored high school, which raised $90, and teachers' training school raised $30, pooled their funds and Mr. Samuel L. Burton purchased the supplies at wholesale rates. The students at the colored State Normal school also raised funds with which to purchase supplies. CITIZENS ASK THAT CAPT. MARSHALL BE COLONEL FOR FIFTEENTH. New York.—Napoleon B. Marshall very likely will be the next colonel of the Fifteenth N. Y. regiment. There is a petition pending with over 1,100 names attached, which asks that he be appointed to that rank. The French government conferred upon Marshall the highest military honors ever conferred upon any American soldier. He is a very prominent attorney in Harlem, also a graduate of Harvard. The Fifteenth has been without a colonel for quite a while. Owing to the law practice of ex-Colonel Haywood, he was unable this fall to again take his rank in the regiment as colonel. FOR MEMORIAL BUILDING TO COLORED SOLDIERS Washington, Dec. 16.—A delegation of colored men appointed by the governors of the various states conferred on Thursday, Dec. 9, with Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri, author of the bill providing for the erection of a memorial building in Washington in honor of the Negro soldiers and sailors who participated in all the wars of this country. It is expected that as a result of this conference plans will be effected for the early erection of the proposed memorial building. CENTENARIAN LEAVES $50,000 TO CHILDREN. Kane, Pa., Dec. 16.—Scipio Young, age 101 years, born in slavery in Virginia prior to the civil war, died here after a brief illness. When the civil war broke out Young joined the union forces at Fredericksburg. He was made a servant to Lieutenant Wilkinson and later served General Thomas L, Kane in a similar capacity. General Kane brought Young to this section when hostilities closed. The estate of Young, valued at $50,000, goes to his six children. NO 11 Cincinnati, O., Dec. 16.—A smoke-consuming device which, it is claimed, eliminates 85 per cent of the smoke and saves from 10 to 20 per cent of fuel, has been installed in a test on the boiler of the Sixth district school. It is a hydro-carbon device, which creates a blanket of gas directly above the bed of coals, causing all escaping carbon to ignite within four seconds. Steam from the boiler propels a cloud of oil and vapor through the attachment which draws in enough air to create the smoke-burning gas. The attachment was invented by C. J. Perry, 376 East 29th street, of the Perry Engineering Company. The device is now in operation at the Metropole hotel, Chicago, and on the Milwaukee railroad. Washington, Dec. 22. — Statements made by prominent business men at the conference in Chicago called by the American Bankers' Association, with a view to organizing a hundred million ($100,000,000) dollar corporation to finance foreign trade and build up American export trade, prove of great interest in connection with the movement which has been started by a group of Negro bankers and business men to organize a three million ($3,000,000) dollar industrial finance corporation. Just as the American Bankers' Association, in the organization of this gigantic corporation, is seeking to build up American export trade, in the same way the Allied Bankers' and Industrial Corporation will seek to build up Negro business in America. The Washington Post speaks editorially of the big movement to stabilize foreign trade, and also mentions the significant fact that the stock of a six million ($6,000,000) dollar southern finance corporation, recently organized to finance exports from the south, has been oversubscribed. This corporation is an answer to the need of supplying foreign markets for southern products. The Allied Bankers' and Industrial Corporation has an aim of equal importance to Negro business. It is the answer to the great need of assuring proper financial aid to Negro business generally. Tuskegee Inst., Ala. — Elaborate plans are being made for the Thirtieth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which will be held at Tuskegee Institute Wednesday and Thursday, January 19th and 20th. "Needs of the South's Present-Day Rural Life" is the general topic for discussion, and, as usual, the first day will be given over to the farmers, and the second day to persons engaged in educational, Christian and social uplift work. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, announces that the indications are that the conference in 1921 will be one of the largest attended in the history of this movement. A number of speakers of national importance have been invited to appear on the program, and many of them have already accepted. Special reduced rates on the railroads have been applied for and persons attending will be entertained as guests of the institute. FOREIGN A combined earthquake and typhoon have wrecked the buildings on the island of Yap. Italian government forces have established a close blockade of Flume by land and sea. A serious labor riot occurred recently in Petrograd in which many persons were killed or injured. The riot was crushed and 105 laborers were executed. The number of persons dead and injured in Argentine's earthquake disaster is now estimated at more than 400. This figure is based on reports from relief parties in the affected zone. First reports from the general elections held in Spain indicate a government victory. Unofficial estimates are that the majority for the Monarchist parties will be a large one. The Irish home rule bill, as slightly modified by the House of Lords, has been adopted by the House of Commons in London. The measure now needs only the royal signature to become a law. Japan's population, as revealed by the census recently completed, is more than a million under the estimate. The total number of persons in the empire is 77,005,000, of which 55,960,000 are in Japan and 17,284,000 in Korea. Charges of murder have been filed in court at Manila by the city prosecutor against seventy-seven Philippine constabulary soldiers as a result of the rioting in which four Americans and seven Filipinos were killed. Correspondence which has been going on between Premier Lloyd George and Father Michael O'Flanagan, "vice president of the Irish republic," in an effort to bring about a truce between England and the Sinn Féin organizations, apparently has been ended. Payment by Germany of 100,000,000,000 marks in gold remains the basis upon which experts and delegates to the second financial conference, in session at Brussels, are working. This amount, although far below what was authorized by the treaty of Versailles, is considered by them collectable only on condition that Germany is helped along the lines suggested by the German delegates. GENERAL Four men are known to be dead as a result of an explosion in No. 2 packing mill of the DuPont Powder Works at Moosic, seven miles from Ceranton, Pa. Carrying $14,000,000 less than was appropriated for this year, the annual pension bill was reported out by the House appropriations committee. The total of the bill is $265,500,000.

State railway commissions of Arkansas and Minnesota have been ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission to increase state passenger rates and excess baggage charges to the level now prevailing in interstate commerce. The commission held that the present charge in the two states amounted to a discrimination against interstate traffic. American business men are now free to trade with Russia, "at their own risk." This means, according to government officials, that, while no restrictions will be placed on trade with the soviets, neither will any aid be given to such trade; and that any American who suffers losses or confiscation of his goods will get no help from this government. An example of the exploration and research work which the United States Department of Agriculture is doing in its search for new plants available for cultivation in this country is furnished by the recent 9,000-mile exploring trip taken by Dr. H.

Pichia eich ek need bee a ta ante te ee Os OUR CHRISTMAS GREETINGS, ODAY we celebrate our great annual festivity—Christmas Day, the T day which signifies so mach of goodness to us as we commemorate the birth of our Savior, ‘Heaven's greatest and best gift to the sons of earth.” ‘This occasion of rejoicing, marking the happiest event of the year, finds us in a position to extend our best wishes and sincere greet- ings to the people of Denver. Immediately preceding our Christmas enjoyment much suffering has been borne, and in several cases are being borne owing to the greatly in- creased prices of articles of food and clothing; so that there could be no better opportunity than the present for those of us who are more fortun- ate to bestow our gifts and offer cheer and comfort to our fellow-citizens who will surely bring happiness to us by our action of making them happy. We endeavor to do our part and request others to do whatever they can, not necessarily in the form of charity, but with a gracious feeling prompted by the love similar to that which made us recipients of the precious gift 2,000 years ago. ‘The spirit actuating the gift countt by far more than the costliness, and therefore out of the largeness of our generosity we invite our citizens to gladden the hearts of those also who are outside the pale of immediate relatives, friends and acquaintances. ‘The church, we are made to understand, will play a greater part than ever, as with the practical Christian methods that are engaging their thoughts, demonstrating more of brotherly love and the fulfillment of the Great Leader's teachings, this festive season will, with the carrying out of their plans, fill a larger place in the hearts of men. The COLORADO STATESMAN is therefore glad of this glorious opportunity to say Merry Christmas! and hopes that not only will gladness abound in the lives of our Denver people, but throughout our great United States, and may the blessings and peace of this Christmastide be the nucleus of a better fel-. lowship and loyalty one to another, forgetting the dreaded past with its turmoil and confusion and opening up in the coming year a phase of Amer- icanism consistent with the doctrine of our Constitution, knowing no creed, color or any previous condition of servitude, where RIGHT will prevail and MIGHT trodden and crushed, to be heard of no more in this GREAT WESTERN CIVILIZATION OF OURS. CHRISTIANITY AND MOHAMMEDANISM. is humanity's Ship of Passage across the Sea 1, compass and anchor. It is the sole reason ly relies to explain the mystery of the Great . than one ship. Each separate division of m nd some of them have stood the voyage for as ELIGION is humanity's Ship of Paesage across the Sea of Life. It is R deck, sail, compass and anchor. It is the sole reason on which man confidently relies to explain the mystery of the Great Voyage. But there are more than one ship. Each separate division of men has builded {ts own ship and some of them have stood the voyage for ages. And these divisions of men love and trust the ships built by their fathers, because they have carried them safely through generations and have never found- ered, But all of these ships of passage, though designed for the same purpose, are not built alike, One is trim, sleek, powerful and speedy; an- other is massive, bulky and slow of progress. So the swifter ship speaks to the slower and says: ‘Come with us, for we sail fast and see more of the fullness of the earth and the greatness of life.” And the slower ship yeplies: “No! Come with us if you will, for our voyage is calm and se- 1 rene and full of beautiful contemplation of all things that pass.” Then the swifter ship says: ‘We will sail about you and dazzle you with our superior power, and then if you will not come with us willingly, we shall take you in tow. We do not want your ship—it,is unworthy, but we want the wealth in your hold and we seek to save the souls of your passengers. For this our guns shall menace you and our might debase you, until you abandon your hulkand come aboard, Let those who remain sink and per- ish with the wreck. Ours is the only safe ship and we sail the only true course.” The name of this fast sailing vessel is “Christianity,” and the serene, slow plodding one ‘is called “Islam,” the Mohammedan. Christianity was not designed for armed conquest, but her erew, blinded with power and the love of material gain, has long since abandoned her chart. Many peo- ples yet give their allegiance to Islam, Nay, more; they are declaring aloud that for their millions Islam is the true example, and for the world the way of truth and light. The Sultan of Turkey is their chosen representa- tive, and Arabia, Egypt and all North Africa swarm with his adherents, who pay him faithful and changeless homage. Their religion is their greatest social and economic force, but political exploitation and conquest are not supreme tenets of their faith. : : ‘And aronnd this yast devout, but non-aggressive myriads of Moslem adherents, the militant usurpers of Christian ethies are casting their bril- hiant Ights in the false name of progress, despoiling and attaching their lands and taking over the control of their governments. Abandoning true Christian ideals and mandates; nevertheless even great prelates sanction the mad lust for increased power as to bless the mission of the Godless con- querors, ‘The latest example of this program of exploitation is the con- quest of Tripoli by the Italians, It is done in the name of civilization and Christian progress. It means more than the sincerg, wayfaring Christian stops to realize, It challenges a conflict of religions and to all Moslems must appear an arrogant and unjust attempt to annihilate their faith. ‘There seems to be small wisdom in this hypocritical course of Christian advancement. ‘The world may not know what sullen passions may be crystalizing in the hearts of those who are numerically greater than all Christiandom. For the time being they may suffer patiently, but if human nature does not assert itself through the revolt of present generations, there is yet danger for the future; for out of the foundation of Christianity itself comes the inevitable law: “Behold, the meek shall inherit the earth.” Beginning of Ballooning.

A On last Sunday afternoon, at the Colored Y. M. C. A., Secretary Bell gave the members and visitors a surprise program which was quite novel and interesting. The subject for discussion was: "WHAT THE COLORED CITIZENS NEED MOST IN DENVER." The discussion was opened by Major Thos. Campbell, president of the Denver Colored Civic Association, followed by Mr. Geo, W. Gross, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., followed by Lieut. Earl Mann, president of the newly organized Protective League. All three speakers gave interesting ten-minute talks upon the subject and every one present enjoyed the speeches and the splendid singing and regretted the time had gone by so rapidly. SCOUT NOTES.

Mass singing, led by Assistant Executive Kearn; Scout McArthur at the plano. Captain Jones appeared on the stage with mystery—about ten sleight-of-hand tricks. The boys are still trying to do some of them. We were all surprised to know that Mr. Harry Townsend could do so many tumbling stunts. He is good enough for the Orpheum circuit.

GATEWOOD JUBILEE SINGERS Well Received at Christian Church Sixteenth Avenue and Lincoln, Eight mixed voices, under the leadership of Miss Dimple Gatewood, well-known musician, have formed an organization to specialize in the rendition of the old jubilee songs and Negro spirituals that have been resurrected and now seem to be in great demand. At a church supper recently given in honor of the ladies of the Christian Church by the male members, this group of singers contributed several items to the program, and so pleased was the audience that the group*had to respond to quite a number of encores. The Misses Naomi Brown, Moore, Mabel Cole; Messrs. Claude White, Hiram Gash, Milton Wilson, Wm. Gatewood, and Miss Gatewood, accompanist, comprise this aggregation of voices, the rendition coming in for much commendation. Being members of church choirs and pupils of vocal teachers in the city, the result of their training will be clearly shown in succeeding events. Having volunteered their services, the church folks presented them with handsome awards and a testimonial appreciating their worth. CHRISTMAS GREETINGS From the Cammel Undertaking Co.

NEWS THE eighth chapter of Jeremiah and a part of the sixth verse reads: "What have I done?" It was the text of a sermon preached by Rev. J. M. Endicott on Sunday evening, December 19th. This was a wonderful sermon. Should have been heard by every person whose name is enrolled on the church books of Allen Chapel. "What have I done?" was the question he wished each member of the church to ask himself. "What have I done to build a Christian character, or to help to make Cheyenne a Christian community?" He told the church how slothful they had been during the calendar year in attendance and at prayer meetings, and how ready to participate in things that tend to reflect on Christian character. Rev. Endicott is a patient, faithful minister of the gospel and is well liked by our Christian citizens. Non-attendance of church members has become a fad in Cheyenne. They find all the gospel they want in their own lives. Everyone does what seems to himself to be right. We are compelled to note most of our church-going citizens are not church members. If we are Christians let's meet in the house of God and sing his praise. Don't let the world know what heathens we can be. Stand up for Christ and moral uplift! "Take what you have and make what you want of it" was the subject of an address by Mrs. L. B. Mayo at the Civic League meeting on December 16th. A large and interested audience heard the address and will profit thereby. Mrs. Mayo came to our city to make it her future home. She came well recommended from her church and citizens of Gainsville, Texas. A lady of her fine quality and helpful disposition is her own recommend. We have not space to note the many fine points made in her address. We never tire of praising women of our group who come into our city and stand for righteousness, uplift and civic pride. Mrs. Mayo is chairman of the program committee of the Civic League. We are getting new members—young people who have self-pride and energy. Mr. M. B. Sheldon is seriously ill not expected to recover. Miss Etwood Troutman is ill. Rev. Eloth of Casper and Rev. J. M. Endicott were dinner guests at the home of Mrs. L. B. Mayo on Wednesday evening, December 15th. Born, a baby boy to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bard. Baby's name is Douglas Arnold. Mother and baby are feeling fine. Mrs. Jackson Lewis departed for a brief visit to relatives in Crawford, Neb. Mr. and Mrs. George Hegg departed for Kansas City, Mo. Miss Lottie Clay was pianist for the evening at the Civic League meeting on December 16th. Miss Clay is always ready to do her part and her efforts are appreciated. Mrs. Mattie Crawley entertained a number of friends at Christmas dinner. Mrs. Crawley proved herself to be an excellent hostess. Rev. G. S. Stacker, who occupies the pulpit of the Second Baptist church in the absence of Rev. C. O. Smith, adopted for his text Matthew 26 and 38 verse: "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death." Sunday evening the little Baptist church was blessed with a fair sized congregation, who appreciated Rev. Stacker's sermon. The membership of this church are taking an active interest in the Sunday services as well as prayer meeting. Sunday evening service brought out a number of the people who have not been in attendance for some time. It is hoped the attendance will continue to increase. Baptists are faithful to their church. It is a case of stand up for the cause, attend church meetings or to be dropped from the roll. It would help the cause if dead ones in other churches were cut off for cause. Our churches need "boosters" for the cause. Inactive membership are a disgrace to any church and a stumbling block to others.

From an economic point of view, canning the surplus of the flock is an excellent Eta cl Name 0 te rey Sa Ey ae. 2 % 7 NN 4 ‘ - Xe j ‘ ft ay Ft Ss — i, ye 7 MG } S Nic ee io slat " “ : Ca we PO ell Severing the Leg From the Body at the Saddie Joint. practice, as it is cheaper to can the birds than it is to feed them until they are wanted for the table. Nor Is it necessary to have young chickens for canning, for the older birds have su- perior flavor and quite as good tex- ture as the younger ones. Two-year hens made a much more desirable can- ned product than a six-month-old Each Person Should Experiment With Himself. Food Specialists Say Too Much Is as Bad as Too Little—Economical to Avoid Expensive Cuts of Meats and Fryits. As the habits and conditions of indl- viduals differ, so, too, their needs for nourishment differ, and thelr food should be adapted to their particular requirements. Each person should learn by experience what kinds of food yleld him nourishment with the least discomfort, and should avold those which do not agree with him. "Poo much food fs as bad as too lit- tle, and occasions a waste of energy and strength in the body as well as waste of nutritive material, say food specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, While in the case of some foods as purchased, notably meats, some waste Is un- avoidable, the pecuniary loss can be diminished, both by buying those kinds In which there Is the least waste, and by utilizing more carefully than ts ordinarily done portions of what ts usually classed as refuse. Much of the waste may be avoided by careful planning so as to provide a’ comfort- able and appetizing meal in sufficient amount, but without excess. If strict economy ts necessary, the dearest cuts of meat and the more ex- penslye frults and’ vegetables should be avoided, With reasonable care in cooking and serving a pleasing and varied diet can be furnished at mod- erate cost. It should not be forgotten that the real cheapness or dearness of a food. material depends not only on its Fae price, but also on the cost. of its digestible nutrients. It should always be remembered that “the ideal diet is that combination. of foods, which, whiJe imposing the least burden on the bedy, supplies {t with exactly sufficient’ material to meet Its wants,” and that any disregard of such @ standard must inevitably prevent ‘the best development of our powers. 4 Day for Washing Blankets.

Witch hazel, diluted with warm wa- ter, is very soothing to” pained, gtralned eyes. chicken. The best products were ob- talhed from plump, well-fed hens !n tests recently made by the Experl- mental Kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture. How the Canning Is Done. To prepare the bird for canning, it shouldbe carefully picked and all pin feathers removed; it should be then singed ang washed in water tn which & small amount of baking soda has been dissolved. Remove the entrails, cut the meat into pleces as for fry- ing, and carefully wash each piece tn cold water. ‘The giblets and excess {n- testinal fat should not be put Into the Jars, The chicken may be partially cooked before being placed in the Jar, being either browned in fat or stewed, but the best results have been obtained when the uncooked chicken was packed into the Jars. The Jars may be fled with hot water or broth, or the meat may be canned without the addition of liquid. ‘The best prod- uet has resulted when no liquid or only a small quantity (about 2 table- spoons to a pint jar) was added. The meat in jars to which no liquid was added has kept as well as that in Jars filled with liquid, and has possessed a superior flavor. The following method 4s, therefore, recommended by the Experimental Kitchen. Pack the pleces into pint Jars. As much as a pound of chicken can often ‘be packed Into a pint Jar. Two chick- ehs weighing, before dressed, a little ‘over 4 pounds each, when cut up for canning will fill five pint Jars. For example, Jar 1 may contain a thigh, leg, filet of breast, and saddle; jar 2, a neck, wing, leg, fillet of breast, and two wish bones; Jar 8, a saddle, neck, thigh, and fillet of breast; jar 4, a wing, leg, thigh, and breast bone; jar 5, a fillet of breast, thigh, 2 wings, and a leg. When the meat has been pack- ed into the jar, add a half teaspoon of salt to each, partially seal, and process, If a water-bath outfit 1s used for the processing, set the Jars on a rack in the bottom of a wash boiler with sufficient vater to come 2 inches above their tops. Process pint jars continuously for six hours after the water begins to boll. Seal the Jars quickly upon removing from the boll- er, or if glass-topped Jats fastened by a spring are used, force the spring into position while the Jars are still immersed. After sealing invert the Jars to test for leaks while cooling. Reduces Time of Process. If a steam-pressure cooker is used the length of time can be greatly re- duéed. Fifteen pounds’ pressure for one hour has been found a safe and satisfactory period. Chicken canned in elther the water bath or pressure cooker Is a desirable product, comparing very favorably with fresh chicken when used for chicken salad, creamed chicken, chick- en stew, chicken ple, or for scalloped or baked dishes. The chicken in a pint Jar is suffl- clent to serve six persons when \the meat Is prepared in any of the ways mentioned. SOAP SUBSTITUTES FAVORED Soapbark, Starch Water or Bran Wa- ter Are Not Likely to Injure Deltcate Colors. When the action of-soap 1s likely to injure a delicate color, use soapbark, starch water, or bran water, advise home economies specialists of the Uni- ted States Department of Agriculture. Soapbark, although not a soap, when heated in water will form suds. To prepare it for use, boil for 10 minutes @ cup of the bark with 1 quart of water? then cool and strain the liquid. The “soapy” water may be used full strength for sponging, or diluted for washing; half of this amount 1s enough for one-half tubful of water. Since the liquid is bfown!sh, {t should be used only on dark-colored goods. Starch water is especially good for cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. ‘This 1s usually made by adding thin starch paste to the wash water. Water in which rice has been boiled, if tt 1s not discolored, may be used instead. If it is not desirable to have the ma- terial starched slightly, tt must be rinsed in salt water. Bran water, made in the same way as soapbark solution, {s useful with colors that are likely to fade. It does not give suds, but cjeans like starch watke: GE aches ene ke. ee ol % = HOUSEHOLDHINTS % Sorererererarecesecerecererecececeneceececezececenn’ Paint stains will disappear If ether is applied on wrong side of fabric. cee Mix left-over cooked fish with curry, place in a border of cooked rice and reheat. eee Shetland shawls can be washed. in warm soapy water, just as flannels are washed. 1 e eee ; In beading a velvet bag, stamp the design on the wrong side and it will be easier to see. 5 Sweet sandwiches of Jelly or ton- serve or fruit and nuts may often be used instead of cakes for >the lunch. ‘ eee Allittle smoked halibut cut very qin and’served with thin slices of bread and butter fs good for a light evening meal. eee Grush a few celery seeds and sprin- kle ‘over the crisp parts of cabbage Soak the cabbage and celery seed in jee*water for an hour and use in place ‘of eelery in the salad,, et ©.

A --- Victor Records THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES ```markdown ``` THERE are several good points about the new undergarments which have been presented for the annual January sales, and this statement is to be taken both literally and figuratively. It is true that points about the bottom, or other edges of garments, have taken the place of hams and that pointed pieces of fabrics are used in many ingenious ways in constructing chemise, night dresses, camisoles and the like. There are points and points; some wide and deep, some small and sharp, and they are most ingeniously used. Right along with them the scallop flourishes in almost as great variety and quite as ingeniously. Aside from these two features there are no startling departures from familiar styles in underthings. It is noteworthy that there is less ornamentation—that is, not so much ordinary lace—on the average underwear than in preceding seasons. Narrow laces and fine tucks are used, embroidered net is introduced in the more expensive pieces and fine hand embroidery enjoys its perennial fa- Sweaters and SWEATERS take a long step forward in the public mind just before the holidays, and when those who fill winter resorts are assembling their new belongings. If the signs do not fall, about half the population contemplates going somewhere and no one will go anywhere without a sweater or a sweater coat, even when the far tropics are in contemplation. Therefore the manufacturers of sweaters and kindred garments, like scarfs, have presented, as they always must, some ideas that add novelty to the other attractions of their products. In style the sweater coat, the slipover and surplice models have evidently been cast for the leading roles in the season's drama. Beautiful management of the knitting, unusual new trimmings, much angora wool, are featured. Scarfs are very wide, provided with one or two pockets and worn with a narrow belt of patent leather or a wider belt of the fabric to which the center of the scarf along vor. Crepe de chine and batiste are still without close rivals, the bestliked of materials, and flesh color apparently in as great demand as white. Night dresses appear to have shed their responsibilities entirely in the matter of covering the arms. The Empire model shown at the right of the picture above is brief as to bodice and long as to skirt, and may be taken as a criterion of the present mode. It has many companions with wider and deeper points or scallops at the bottom, and there is a fancy for bows with long ends of inch-wide satin ribbon, fastened on the bands over the shoulder—making a pretty but ineffectual effort to take the place of the banished sleeves. The chemise shown has a body fashioned of four polls edged with lace and lace straps over the shoulders. Sometimes lace accounts for the entire body of night gowns or chemise with no help, unless one counts in ribbon ornaments in rosettes, bows or flowers. These diaphanous and frivolous garments do not occupy themselves with the matter of providing warmth. Their Kindred one edge is attached. This holds it down in the back. Colors are not garish, but deep orange, warm purples and strong greens find admirers, but are not more popular than black and white. A deep ecu is a great favorite, trimmed with bands in brighter colors. Scarfs have caps to match or hats made of different materials but corresponding in color. A pretty surplice is shown in the picture above and its trimming marks a new achievement of the looms called wool ostrich. Vari-colored bands of raffia appear among the novelties, also. The scarf with hat to match suggests that hats instead of caps will provide more dignified head covering, and all the styles in sweaters show a trimness that pervades all kinds of models.
