THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY METHODIST CREATE BUREAU TO PUSH NEGRO ACTIVITIES Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Progressive Negro Minister, Is Chief. VOL. XXVII. METHODIST CREATE TO PUSH Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Pro ESTABLISHMENT of a Bureau of Negro Work with a Negro Executive Secretary, who will have a complete charge of all interests and activities of Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has been effected by the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of that denomination, according to information reaching here today. The Rev. Mr. W. A. C. Hughes, D.D., formerly Area Secretary of New Orleans, has been elected to head the bureau. He will have supervision over all the Negro Conferences of the Church and interpret the peculiar problems and needs of his people to the Board. This Bureau will have equal standing in the organization with the Bureau of City Work, the Bureau of Rural Work, the Bureau of Foreign-Speaking Work, and other bureaus of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. This innovation in Methodist organization is a part of the general program of the church to train and provide opportunities for Negroes to lead their own people in all matters of religious activities and prepare others for leadership in other activities of the race group. Secretary Hughes received many votes at the Methodist General Conference at Des Moines, In. May last, when two Negro bishops were elected to full rank in the Methodist Episcopal Church. The importance of his present position may be understood when it is pointed out that during 1920 the program for Negro activities of the Methodist Board of Home Missions and Church Extension involved the expenditure of $124,587 on 138 building projects in the South, and $86,640 for maintenance in assisting 500 preachers and social workers; and in the North $96,733 was spent on 26 building projects and $47,875 in assisting workers. The total expenditures aggregated $355,915. In the rural program three summer schools of Rural Methods for Negro pastors with an attendance of 300 ministers were held. Agriculture was taught, as a means of promoting more scientific farming among the Negroes of rural communities. Dr. Hughes is a native of Maryland, whose father and grandfather were ministers, and was educated at Morgan College and Taylor University. He has been a prominent pastor in the Washington Conference, serving as District Superintendent of that district and as Field Secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. He has been twice elected to sit as a member of the quadrennial General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His program for his new place includes all manner of aid for the Negro race gained from his study of its problems for many years. "The Negro race is largely a rural proposition," said Dr. Hughes, "and it is gratifying to observe that the race is rapidly rising from farm tenancy to ownership in the South. In 283 counties, one-third of the southern states, Negroes are in the majority. To us it is very apparent that the Negro must in a very large way work out his salvation in rural regions. This has its advantages, because home-owning, home-loving, home-defending instincts, thrift and industry are bred in people who own land and enjoy the freedom of the farm. Civilization was begun in the country. The Church must put in motion a working program for these people and preach that there is virtue in swatting the fly, in showing people how to prevent diseases; that teaching the people better methods of farming, of home-building, is more Christ-like than merely directing the Sabbath service that aims to do little more than arouse the emotions of congregations. The preacher who has a program that seeks to lift rural woman from drudgery, provide proper entertainment and play for our youth, making the Church a community center of force and power, is linked up to a holy adventure worthy of the Sons of God." LYNCH NEGRO AFTER JURY FAILS TO AGREE. Versailles, Ky.—Richard James, colored, was tried last week before Circuit Judge R. L. Stout for the murder of Ben T. Rogers and Homer Nave, two distillery guards. Owing to the evidence, the jury reported to Judge Stout last Saturday it was unable to reach a verdict. Deciding a case on evidence did not please some citizens, who organized an automobile party and decided to have a big night; so a mob, composed of fifty persons, went to the Woodford county jail, took the keys from John T. Edger, the jailer, and proceeded to James' cell. The prisoner put up a game fight (something the jailer failed to do), but "heroic action" was taken by one of the "brave" members of the mob who knocked James senseless with a black-jack. He was then taken in a machine to the intersection of the Frankfort and Midway pikes, two miles from Versailles, and hanged to a tree. None of the members of the mob was identified by Jailer Edger. The two guards were killed while defending the distillery from an attack by a party of armed men who were attempting to remove whisky. It was thought by local authorities that James might have been a member of the party. OFFER REWARD FOR LYNCHERS Frankfort, Ky, March 14.—Governor Edwin P. Morrow today offered a reward of $500 each for the arrest and conviction of each member of the mob that early yesterday took from the Woodford county jail and lynched Richard James, colored. He also issued a proclamation removing from office John H. Edgar, jailer of Woodford county. FLIPPER HAS POSITION IN INTER IOR DEPARTMENT. Washington, D. C.—Henry O. Flipper, formerly of Georgia, and first colored graduate of West Point Military Academy, has been appointed a special assistant to the Secretary of the Interior, and has assumed his new duties. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 26 1921 A SIGNPOST FOR WHITES (An Editorial From the New York Globe, Tuesday, March 8. 1921.) [The New York Globe is one of the leading metropolitan dailies of America. The New York Globe, on Tuesday, March 8, in an editorial headed "A Signpost for Whites," pointed out the remarkable work being done by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.] The editorial states: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People could be studied with profit by those who believe in lynching and Jim Crow methods. It was founded in 1909. The Crisis for March contains its report for 1920, which reveals a sufficient activity to make one thoughtful. The association now has 88,000 members, and hopes for 250,000. Its officers last year traveled 100,000 miles and the rather slender purse of the organization—$47,000—defrayed the expenses of various battles for a better treatment of Negroes. Representatives of the association helped to kill twelve out of thirteen anti-intermarriage bills in state legislatures. They checked the course of twenty discriminating measures in Congress. The initiated legislation giving the Negro a securer footing in law courts, successfully fought dozens of cases and especially unjust convictions, disseminated literature on lynching, sponsored the Negro elector, and secured school and theater privileges in various parts of the country. The association claims credit for calling attention to abuses in Hayti. It established a news bureau at its New York headquarters. "This is all evidence that needs notice. Perhaps it needs interpretation, too. It shows a growth of the body of educated, thoughtful and determined Negroes. These are organizing their race in America. They have already become an effective force in politics, in the courtroom, and—though this phase has not been touched upon—in industry. The promise of the future is plain. We shall continue to educate the Negro, or he will rather continue increasingly to educate himself. The body of intelligent and self-respecting colored people will continue to grow larger. Discrimination or lawless force will bring about a resistance which will be more difficult to cope with as it grows more and more informed and organized. Injustice or violence will, in fact, be the one thing capable of keeping the Negro at his worst, and of making him for the South the danger it fears he will become. Certain parts of the country may have been able to deal with the Negro in the past outside of justice and courtesy. They will now find mob law and unconstitutional law duller and weaker weapons. Certain traditions of treatment of Negroes must pass with the passing of ignorance and helplessness of the black race." WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, NEWS.

There were thirty-four in attendance Friday evening and they had a great debate on which was the most destructive, dancing or the use of alcohol? This was an open discussion and before the close of the debate nearly every one in the building was trying to get to say something on one side or the other. This was quite amusing indeed to listen to. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ramus were the host and hostess at a birthday dinner party Tuesday at 8 p. m., the 15th inst., at their home, No. 418 North street, in honor of Mrs. Ramus' 57th birthday.

Bardain, Mr. Frank Williams and the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ramus. After the delicious dinner was served, the evening was spent in conversation, and two or three plays were led by Mrs. Ed. Mansfield, which was quite amusing. The guests departed at a late hour, declaring that they had wonderfully enjoyed themselves. Mr. L. O. Gaither of Esparto, Calif., who has been confined to his home for the past week with a light attack of influenza, is now able to get out again.

Keith, H. Powers and C. J. Champ. Rev. J. E. Allen, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Sacramento, with two of his deacons, L. H. Hendricks and G. White, assisted in the ordination. Dr. Allen preached a much interesting and impressive ordination sermon which will long be remembered by both deacons and those that were present. Miss A. Widener, who has a great desire to be a nurse, is being kept quite busy with the local work of the city. Rev. and Mr. Muse motored to Madison and Esparto one day last week in their Maxwell car. FIND OUR CHILDREN BETTER NOURISHED THAN THE WHITES The Philadelphia Health Council and Tuberculosis Committee, investigating the health of school children here, finds the colored children are generally better nourished than the average white child. This is attributed to the fact that the average woman of the race is a born cook, and the food the children eat is generally well cooked. In the Durham school, Sixteenth and Lombard streets, where there are hundreds of colored children, only twenty-five were found underweight in the entire school.—Philadelphia Tribune. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources OWN TWO MILLION ACRES. Atlantic City, N. J.—Colored people in the United States now own two millions of acres of land and property values amounting to a billion and a quarter dollars, Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the Slater and Jeanes boards stated in a recent address on "The Negro in Rural Education and Country Life," delivered before the Department of Rural Education, a recognized part of the National Education Association. VIRGINIA HAS THE ONLY COL ORED TELEPHONE COMPANY. Virginia boasts of the only colored telephone company in the world.

The whole enterprise is owned, managed and operated by colored people from the stockholders to the switchboard operators. The officers are: T. C. Tyler, president; E. A. Blackwell, secretary and general manager. JACK JOHNSON SENT OFFER TO UMPIRE IN NEW LEAGUE. Boston, Mass., March 17.—An offer to umpire in the newly formed Continental league has been sent to Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion pugilist, for the season of 1921. The league has not only made an attempt to break down the prejudice now existing in the major leagues by signing players of both races in Boston, but has gone two steps farther. The organization has made a member of the race, Robert T. Murray of Boston, a director and is out to sign eight umpires, three of whom will be selected from our race. WASHINGTON'S OLDEST INHAB TANT DIES. Washington, Feb. 28.—Believed to have been Washington's oldest Inhabitant, Henry Mason, colored, 108 years old, was laid to rest in Fanquier county, Virginia.

Philadelphia, March 21.—Annie Weston, colored, of 1026 South Twenty-second street, was brutally assaulted by seven Italians at Seventh and Larona streets, Feb. 3. Miss Weston's testimony revealed that she had gone in search of employment and had answered an advertisement. She was met at the door by a white man, who invited her in and asked her upstairs, where he would show her what to do. When she got to the second floor of the building, which is used as a club, she was set upon by seven white men and cruelly raped. Repeated complaints to the police brought no results until the officials of the hospital where she was treated took up the case with the officials at city hall. Subsequently fourteen white men were arrested. Two were identified and held without bail for court. BOY HAD COLORED BLOOD; BARRED FROM SCHOOL. Frederick, Md.—Judge Glenn H. Worthington of the Juvenile Court of Emmitsburg, was called upon to settle the most perplexing case of his career when Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ridge, white, were brought into court to explain the continued absence of their boy from school. It developed that the boy had been sent home from school by his teacher on the grounds that he was a "Negro" and therefore ineligible to enter the school in question. The Ridges refused to send their child to a school set apart for "Negroes," and the upshot of the whole thing was that the child remained at home. After an examination by physicians, it was announced that the boy was certainly not of "pure white blood," and Judge Worthington concurred in this opinion. After hearing the opinion of the physicians, the judge suggested to the parents that they move across the line into Pennsylvania, "where mixed schools exist." AFRICANS HERE TO SEE NEW PRESIDENT. New York, March.—President C. D. B. King of Liberia and two other members of the Liberian Loan Commission, F. E. R. Johnson, associate justice of the Liberian Supreme Court, and John Lewis Morris, arrived in New York recently aboard the steamer Panhandle State of the United States Mail Steamship Company, it became known today through Edward T. Merrill, Liberian counsel to New York, 326 W. 19th street. Mr. Merrill said the three men would proceed after a short stay in New York to Washington, where they will confer with treasury officials in an attempt to negotiate a $5,000,000 loan from the United States. This loan has been "hanging fire" for nearly a year, according to Mr. Merrill. The Panhandle State left Boulogne, France, on February 24, with fifty-eight cabin passengers. She is expected to dock at 12:30 o'clock today at Pier 74, North River. The Liberian Loan Commission will stay at the Waldorf-Astoria while in New York, Mr. Merrill said. Liberia is the Negro republic which lies on the Atlantic coast of Africa, between Sierra Leone on the west and the Ivory coast on the east.

The railroad labor board, in a decision at Chicago, held that the present rates of pay and working conditions of Pullman sleeping car conductors are just and reasonable and refused a request for an increase in pay and change in working conditions. The conductors are paid from $155 to $190 a month. The Ford Motor Company, it is now believed in New York, has escaped the crisis which was expected to force the concern to undertake financing in the open market. Unless the affairs of this company undergo another rapid and startling change, bankers are doubtful if there will be any public offering of Ford securities, at least for a long time to come. Clara Smith Hamon has signed a contract with a motion picture company to produce pictures for the next two years. A reception was held for her at the First Christian church, where she was baptized.

Humphries, in the criminal division of the Superior Court at Atlanta, Ga., ruled that taking the container, which in this instance was a suitcase, constituted a theft and sentenced three Negroes to serve four to six years in the chain gang. A taxpayer whose total tax is four cents and who insists on his right to pay in four installments was revealed in Atlanta, Ga.

The Agricultural Department announced that the average price of plow land in the United States decreased about 7 per cent in the past year, due to drop in crop prices. However, the Western states show the least decline in land prices, and in Colorado, Oregon and California there is even a slight increase over last year. Southern states, due to the cotton situation, show the greatest decline in land values. President Harding suggested to Chairman Fordney that the House ways and means committee sound out the Senate Republicans as to the feasibility of early passage of an emergency tariff that would take care of farmers. The proposal was discussed at length, and it has been determined to pass the emergency tariff at the special season of Congress in April.

Compilations made by the State Immigration Department from the records of the State Tax Commission show that the assessed value of all segregated farm property in the state in 1920 was $647,955,962, compared with $598,429,164 last year. The total assessed valuation of property this year is $1,590,267,667, compared with $1,405,213,659. The figures given above do not include automobiles, carriages and other vehicles, furniture and some other items of farm property, which can not be accurately segregated. It will be seen that the assessed value of farm property for 1920 was approximately 41 per cent of the assessed value of all property, compared with about 40 per cent in 1919. If the items that cannot be included in this calculation could be accurately segregated it would be found that the assessed value of all farm property is about 42 per cent of the total assessed valuation. The percentage has been increasing steadily for several years, keeping pace with the state's agricultural development. The items included in the totals given above are farm land, improvements on farm land, livestock, poultry and bees, equities in state land, improvements on public lands and agricultural implements. Figures compiled by the State Immigration Department from the records of the State Tax Commission show that the people of Colorado paid $35.44 per capita taxes for all municipal, district, county and state purposes in 1920. The total revenue collected, according to these compilations, was a little more than $33,000,000. The largest single item of expense is schools, approximately 30 per cent of all taxes collected being used for school purposes. The highest per capita taxes are paid by people in Park county, being $68.17, while the lowest are paid in Baca county, $21.92. The average levy for all purposes is 22.21 mills. Teller county shows the highest average levy, 39.23 mills, and Cheyenne county the lowest, 11.48 mills. The highest average school levy is for Crowley county, 11.73 mills, and the lowest is for Jackson county, 1.33 mills. Five passengers on the Pueblo sleeper of westbound train No. 115 on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad were burned to death near Cuchara, ten miles northeast of Walsenburg. According to reports, the blaze was caused by the explosion of a tank used to supply gas to the Pintsch lighting system, which is still in use on cars operating over the Denver-Alamosa route. The explosion tore a hole through the middle of the car and filled it with gas, rendering most of the victims unconscious before they could make a move to escape. Following a two days' hearing the coroner's jury inquiring into the disaster in which five persons lost their lives by the burning of Pullman car Corona, attached to the Denver & Rio Grande passenger train No. 155 at Roof, returned a verdict containing no finding revealing the cause of the fire, expressing the opinion that the accident was an avoidable one in the lack of rules requiring the Pullman porter to be on duty. After divulging the information on which the defendant was arrested in California and brought back to Logan county for trial, John Calvert, a prisoner in the county jail in Sterling, failed on the witness stand and as a result Elmer F. Weck, well-to-do farmer, charged with burning four stacks of wheat in the east part of the county last September, was acquitted by a jury in the District Court. Guy Wayne Leibel, prominent Fort Collins real estate dealer, is dead from peritonitis, following an operation for appendicitis. He was stricken with an attack at his cottage at Loveland Heights, near Estes Park and was hurried to Fort Collins for the operation, which was performed immediately. Fully half of the grain crops in Colorado last year are still on the farms, according to official estimates released by the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates.

Senator Phipps has requested the secretary of the interior and the commissioner of the General Land Office to open Colorado lands immediately to settlers under the Carey act and a recent departmental order, which opened the lands, but did not specify a date. The taxpayers of Fort Collins have voted unanimously in favor of a $196,000 bond issue for the improvements of the schools. Additions will be built to several of the schools, new equipment added and sites for new buildings will be purchased.

Hopkins, secretary and treasurer. The State Highway Commission has asked $116,168 aid from the United States in the construction of eleven miles of highway in Colorado at a total estimated cost of $237,683.30, according to Federal District Engineer J. S. Bright, who said plans and specifications would be forwarded to Washington for approval. The proposed stretches include a strip in the Paradox valley, in San Miguel county; a two-mile concrete pavement between Greeley and La Salle, Colo., and a section of clay surfaced road between Silverton and Ouray, Colo.

OFFICE PHONE CHAMPA 5960 Today's Geography Little Journeys to Places Figuring in World Events Prepared by The National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C., for Department of Interior, Bureau of Education. COMENIUS: A PICTURE TEACHING PIONEER The United States commissioner of education has asked that the birthday of John Amos Comenius be observed in American public schools on March 28, in conjunction with its commemoration in Czecho-Slovakia. The National Geographic society has issued the following bulletin concerning the famous Moravian educator, author of the first picture textbook and the first advocate of teaching science in the schools: "The births of new nations usually mean the creation of new national heroes. Among the new countries of Europe not only will the men who played parts in their liberation be honored in years to come; but the new nationalities already are planning to pay belated tribute to the outstanding figures of the period of their oppression. "Take Czecho-Slovakia, a country which holds a particular interest for Americans, since its declaration of independence was written in a Washington, D. C., hotel, and condensed so it might be printed in full in a Boston newspaper, and its constitution embodies many features of our form of government. "It may augur well for the future peace of Europe that Czecho-Slovakia has chosen to commemorate as one of its major holidays the birthday, not of a warrior, or even a political leader, but of a school teacher. "In reading about him there also will be much about pansophic schools, and the intuitive method, and naturalistic conceptions of education. But if you would get a more vivid picture of the pioneer service of this forerunner of Rousseau, Frobel, Pestalozzl, and Montessori, try to imagine your school today as a place where: "Pupils devoted nearly all their time to memorizing page after page of dreary texts. "All teaching had to be done through a foreign language (Latin). "No objects were studied and only abstract words were used. "Little was studied which related to the physical world, the child's environment, or his daily experience. "Nor was there any teaching of science, even geography, nature study, animal and bird life. "None of the words, dealing largely with things the pupils never saw, were illustrated with pictures. "And a kindergarten, physical exercise, play periods, attention to hygiene were virtually unknown. "If you can imagine that kind of school you will gain some conception of the schools in the time of Comenius, which he tried to improve in nearly all of the particulars mentioned. "Most widely known, perhaps, of Comenius' books is the 'Orbis Pictus', thought by some to have been the first children's picture book, and certainly the first application of pictures for school teaching of visual instruction. ORIGIN OF "APRIL FOOL" Even in these times of turmoil and contention, there is still one day when not only may a man play a fool, but his friends are privileged to give him a headlong push down "fools' hill." The origin of the custom of playing practical jokes on friends and neighbors on this "All Fools' Day" is variously explained. Some of these explanations may interest those who have eaten cotton pie and bean chocolates. Some writers trace the custom back to the days of the miracle plays given at Easter time. One of the most popular tableaux satirized Ananias, Caiaphus, Pilate and Herod. In the decadent days of these dramas actors played largely for the amusement and applause of the groundlings, until Herod, in out-Heroding himself, and Pilate, in the performance of his ablutions, literally made fools of themselves. A "Feast of Fools" was held in the early spring by the Romans, and the Hindus, since time immemorial, have celebrated as a saturnalia the vernal equinox, or Feast of Hull. During these festivities the chief amusement seems to have been that of fooling people and sending them on fruitless errands. Many students trace the origin back no farther than France in the Sixteenth century. At any rate, the custom seems to have radiated from France to England, as well as to Germany, if we are to believe what Grimm says about it. France was the first nation to adopt the reformed calendar which decreed that the year should begin on the first of January. Consequently those who objected to sending out their New Year's gifts and felicitations upon the newly chosen date instead of April 1, as they had done previously, subjected themselves to endless taunts for being old fogles by going on visits that had no meaning. The French call the victim of a prank on April 1, "un polisson d'avril," or "an April fish," of which our American Slang, "you poor fish," is good translation. The origin of the expression used in this connection probably arose in the obvious comparison between the person who "blites" unwittingly and the April fish, which is a young fish and therefore easily caught. In Scotland April Fool's day is observed, but under a slightly different name—the day for "hunting the gook," or cuckoo. Some few of us who, in our unsophisticated days, have gone "snipe hunting" in this country, know how the fellow feels who hunts the gook, and realize that to be called an "April-Cuckoo" is not a compliment, that bird being a byword of contempt in almost every land. RIO DE JANEIRO: CITY OF LURE Rio de Janeiro, first of the three South America capitals to be visited by Secretary Colby on his recent journey of courtesy to our neighboring continent, is described as follows in a communication from Harriet Chalmers Adams to the National Geographic society: "This city of lure terraces up from a glorious bay—the Bay of Gunanabara, mountain - encircled, isle - bejeweled. From the shore, where parks and boulevards are fast crowding out the old Rio of narrow streets, rise the forested hills on whose slopes the lovelier portion of the city lies. Place your hands on the table, fingers spread, wrists upraised. Each finger represents one of Rio's hills; each space between, a canyon up which the city climbs. "Many of the new homes cling to the hillside below the streets and are entered from the roof. Others of these cliff dwellings perch high above the thoroughfare and are reached by a long flight of steps or by elevator or an inclined plane. Some bear the name of the lady of the manor over the front door—Villa Rosita,' Villa Lucia'—and the dark-eyed lady herself is often seen leaning from the window. "Can any other city offer such entrancing vistas as those from the mountain heights back of Rio? I have traveled far and have yet to find it. Turning bayward, we look down through a frame of tangled vines and branches, onto the tree-tops of the sloping virgin forest. A scarlet-winged bird flits to a nearby tree-fern; a big Sugar Loaf, the Sentinel of Rio Bay. blue butterfly zigzags lazily by. There are purple orchids within reach and waxen begonias at our feet. Far below, set in verdure, gleams the kaledioscopic city, with its crescent shores. "The bay, set in its amphitheater of hills, sparkles like a sapphire. To and fro among the ships at anchor ply the busy paddle-wheel ferry boats to the islands and to Nictheroy, the little sister city across the way. In the distance tower the blue spires of the lofty Organ mountains. Today we can see the sharp crag called 'the Finger of God.' Often it is veiled in mist. "Avenida Rio Branco, Rio's finest thoroughfare, is more than a mile in length and so wide that it consists of two distinct boulevards separated by a row of shade trees. It is thronged day and night with automobiles. The sidewalks, the widest I have ever seen, are black-and-white stones laid in mosaic design, like those in vogue in Lisbon. Both stones and workmen were brought from Portugal, but similar pavements, constructed later in other parts of the city, are 'home-made.' "At the cinema theaters the people of Rio de Janeiro know real comfort. Unlike most of our moving-picture houses, those in Rio have spacious waiting rooms where you sit, listening to excellent music until the hour for the first reel comes round. "Rio's climate is often maligned, but it suits those who like spring and summer weather. It is never as warm as summer in many of our Eastern and Middle-West cities, and the nights on the hills are nearly always cool. "Now and then on the wide world trail we find a scene which dominates. Such is Rio de Janeiro, City of Lure. So long as glory of form and color gladden the eye, Rio will stand preeminent in beauty among the habitations of man." MONTEVIDEO: CITY OF THE HAPPY MEDIUM Montevideo, capital of the republic of Uruguay, was the second stopping place of Secretary of State Colby in his recent official visit to South America. Physically situated so that it is one of the healthiest cities in the world, with an equable climate which makes it a delightful place to live in, and possessing an atmosphere free from the bustle and noise of the more modern and commercial Buenos Aires and the more metropolitan Rito, Montevideo has become the resort city of South America's Atlantic coast. Thousands of wealthy South Americans are to be found there at nearly all seasons of the year, participating in the carnivals, gambling in the great government-owned casinos that may be compared to those of Monte Carlo, or merely enjoying the restful life of this city which still clings to the Spanish habit of looking to "manana." Since Montevideo is in the southern hemisphere its seasons are the reverse of those in the United States. Visitors are specially numerous for the bathing season, which begins in October, corresponding to the northern May, and is at its height at Christmas. Detached impressions of Montevideo will bring to mind many similes and contrasts with better known cities. Like New York, it covers a narrow peninsula from shore to shore; but in architecture it is the antithesis of the North American metropolis, being made up of a seemingly vast number of low stone buildings, a few two or three stories in height, the great majority of them but one story. The principal thoroughfare, the Avenue of the Eighteenth of July, extending along the ridge of the peninsula, with its colonnades and sidewalk cafes, gives a touch of Paris. As a great packing center for the live stock produced on the unsurpassed pastures of Uruguay, Montevideo is comparable to Chicago or Kansas City. Evidence of this fact is sometimes wafted on the winds when they blow to the city from the seat of the gigantic industry across the bay. In physical equipment Montevideo is modern. It is well lighted, well watered, adequately supplied with transportation facilities, and most admirably drained. Socially it clings to the past, following more faithfully than any other large city outside of Spain and the Orient the old Spanish-Moorish traditions of society's proper attitude toward women. As in other large South American cities, moving picture theaters are omnipresent. Most of the films they show are imported from the United States. Montevideo is famed for its port, which is one of the best on the Atlantic coast of the Americas. The city has a population exceeding 400,000, more than a quarter of the population of the entire 72,000 square miles of the republic. In 1800 Montevideo was the largest and most important city in South America. It is now surpassed by Buenos Aires, Rio and Santiago de Chile, while its rank as fourth city is closely contested by Sao Paulo, Brazil. BUENOS AIRES: CITY OF SUPERLATIVES AND CONTRASTS Buenos Alres, capital of Argentina, which recently attracted world attention by withdrawing its representatives from the League of Nations assembly, is not merely the capital and chief port of a South American republic. It is a world center—a city of superlatives, contrasts and paradoxes. Its population of close to 2,000,000 makes it, by a wide margin, the metropolis of South America and the Southern hemisphere. It is the greatest of Spanish-speaking cities, having nearly three times as many inhabitants as Madrid. It is greater than any Latin city except Paris. In the New World it shares third place with Philadelphia; only New York and Chicago surpass it. And now that Petrograd and Moscow have shrunk, while Berlin and Vienna are marking time, it probably ranks or soon will rank as the sixth city of the world, led only by the two metropolises of Europe, the two of North America, and Tokyo in Asia. This great city is the focus of the culture, thought, politics, economics and social life of Argentina, as well as the funnel through which pour the millions of pounds of dressed meats and the millions of bushels of wheat which make up the contribution of the republic to the hungry peoples of the Old World. In its general aspect it is a combination of New York and Paris. Its language is the language of Spain, but many other things Spanish have been thrust aside. Its inhabitants would laugh at the idea of a mid-day siesta—so generally observed in most Spanish-American countries. The obsession of "manana" has been discarded; the people of Buenos Aires live in the throbbing present, going strenuously about their business in streets whose bustle and whirl are as balm to the heart of the homesick New Yorker, who feels that, after all, he cannot be far from Broad and Wall or Forty-second and Broadway. Subways, commuters and taller buildings than can be found in any other city in South America heighten the illusion. In progress and the possession of vision the people of Buenos Aires are unsurpassed even by the restless builders of North America's greatest cities. For centuries after its establishment Buenos Aires was without a port. Ships anchored miles from the shallow, sandy shore and all freight was handled in lighters. Within the last 25 years the municipality has constructed the largest artificial docks in the world. These provide adequate facilities for the thousands of ocean vessels and coasting craft that put into its port annually. The narrow checker-board of streets in the business center which the colonial Buenos Aires bequeathed to the world-city of today has been a constant embarrassment in the face of the demands of modern business. The municipality has widened some of these narrow ways at a cost of many millions of dollars, into stately and handsome avenues, and is carving other arteries of traffic diagonally through the closely packed squares. In the newer parts of the city streets of ample width and numerous broad avenues have been laid out. Many of the avenues are lined with the costly palaces of Argentina's multimillionaires. It is in this part of the city and in such semi-business avenues as the tree-rimmed Avenida de Mayo, with its mile or more of fine hotels, clubs, cafes and business buildings de luxe that Buenos Aires reminds the traveler of Paris. RIOTS SPREAD IN GERMANY RED COMMUNISTS REVOLT IN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS, IS REPORT. LEADERS WANT STRIKE GENERAL UPHEAVAL THREAT ENS CENTRAL GERMANY FROM RED RIOTS. London, March 25.—The Communist revolt in Germany, financed, it is declared, by Soviet gold, is spreading throughout the industrial districts of middle Germany, threatening the great ammonia, potash, anthracite and copper works, says a dispatch from Berlin. Strong police forces have been despatched to the centers where trouble has grown out of the recent demand of the leaders for a general strike and the arming of the proletariat—Dresden, Elsleben, Freiburg, Leipsic, Halle, Mansfeld and other towns, the message reports. Efforts of the authorities, adds the dispatch, have only resulted in the communists strengthening their positions. Large sections of industrial regions in central Germany are actually in the hands of the insurgents, says an Exchange Telegraph Company dispatch from Amsterdam, which quotes telephonic advices from Berlin. Reports from Saxony state that more buildings have been damaged by dynamite in various towns, and that at Mansfeld prisons have been opened and their inmates liberated. Complete anarchy is declared to reign at Heststadt, where all banks have been raided and from which the population is fleeing in a panic. Town halls at Plauen and Rodewisch were destroyed and county buildings at Leipsiic and Freiburg were damaged, one person being injured at Freiburg. The County Court building in Dresden was badly damaged by an explosion and three persons were injured. A similar attempt against the town ball at Auerbach was frustrated by the police capturing a man carrying a bag of dynamite. A party of armed men, riding in a motor lorry, attacked two savings banks in Mansfeld and succeeded in securing about 200,000 marks from the institution. The savings bank at Helbra was also robbed during the day, and strikers in that town compelled the Helbra Anzeiger to suspend publication. A large crowd surrounded the police barracks at Heststadt and demanded the surrender of arms stored there. Berlin.—President Ebert, in agreement with the government of Prussia, has issued an edict establishing measures to restore public order in the regions disturbed by the communist uprising. The condition established by the presidential pronouncement is a "non-military state of siege." New Scout Cruiser Launched. Tacoma, Wash.—With army and navy officers, public officials and others in attendance, the United States scout cruiser Milwaukee was launched at the Todd shipyards here without a hitch in the scheduled program. The vessel was sponsored by Mrs. Rudolph Pfeil, Jr., of Milwaukee, who broke a bottle of champagne and a bottle of Lake Michigan water on the bow as she performed the christening. Printers' Demands Refused. Salt Lake City, Utah.—Declaring that they would be unable to meet the demands of the local typographical union for an increase in the wages of job printers on May 1 from $39 to $51 a week, employing printers, through a committee, announced that the "American plan" of employment would be put in effect in Salt Lake City and Ogden shops when the present agreement with the union expires. This means, the committee said, that "open shop" will prevail in all of the job printing plants in the two cities. Tornado Kills Two. Nashville.—Two persons were killed, one fatally injured and ten seriously injured in a tornado which started at Berlin, a village ten miles west of Lewisburg, and swept northeastward across Marshall county for fifteen miles. Twelve residences and barns were blown away, many other residences were slightly damaged, much timber was destroyed and the railway station' at Anes was torn down. Jury Drinks Evidence. Miami, Fla.—Henry S. Black, New York millionaire, was acquitted by a jury in the Dade county Criminal Court here of having a large quantity of liquor in his possession aboard his private car at Coconut Grove, five miles from Miami. The jury returned the verdict in five minutes. All members of the panel were allowed by the prosecution to drink from the seized stock in order that they might determine whether or not it was intoxicating. LEGISLATIVE NEWS UP-TO-DATE REPORT OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE AT THE STATE CAPITOL. Eight bilts were passed on third and final reading as follows: S. B. 201—By Senator David Elliot, to provide reader texts for Colorado blind students at the four state institutions of higher learning and the National College for the Deaf at the city of Washington. S. B. 365—By Senator Golding Fairfield, a statute revision bill, to place unrepealed sections of the 1911 dairy act in the later 1913 act. S. B. 407—By Senator Fairfield, to amend the 1913 dairy act so that the state dairy inspector may enter into one contract with more than one city for dairy inspection, instead of only with one as now provided, and to permit sale in bulk of condensed and evaporated skimmed milk to ice cream makers, when shipments are marked as prescribed by the dairy inspector. S. B. 154—By Senator Walter F. O'Brien, to appropriate $137,000 for the state reformatory at Buena Vista for the biennial period. S. B. 447—By Senator W W. King, to create the Pike's peak state game refuge. S. B. 454—By Senator John B. Stephen, to create the Conejos state game refuge. H. B. 592—By Representative Bert M. Lake, to appropriate $19,500 from the national defense bonds, series 1917, to be extended two years by another measure, for payment of expenses of the so-called Colorado Rangers, revived by Governor Shoup last fall under the department of safety act. H. B. 280—By Representative W H. McIntyre, to extend the usual mill levy for the maintenance of the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind. Bills passed on second reading were: S. B. 256—By Senator Alexander R. Young, to make the state 1907 pure food and drug law conform with the Shirley amendment to the federal pure food law. S. B. 257—By Senator Young, to give state inspectors under the pure food and drug law official designation as officers of the law. S. B. 455—By Senator John B. Stephen, to create the Spanish peaks state game refuge. The House passed on second reading a bill that will allow veterans of the World war to purchase state land on long time terms. Representative George A. Pughe of Moffat county introduced the bill, which has the backing of the American Legion. Under its provisions, former service men can buy land valued up to $7,500 and have twenty years in which to pay for it. The Board of Capitol Managers is expected to establish in the state house within a few weeks the bronze memorial tablet provided for in Senator Alexander R. Young's joint resolution to honor the late David H. Moffat. After reciting Mr. Moffat's achievements as a builder of the state, the resolution asked that the capitol managers be required to have a suitable tablet made and placed in the capitol. The Senate passed on third reading House bill 310, by Representative John F. Rotruck, fixing fees for administrators of estates of deceased, in sane or mentally deranged persons; Senate bill 366, by Senator Golding Fairfield, to require taking of school census annually instead of monthly as now; and House bill 584, by Representative A. M. Wilson, to prohibit the practice of clairvancy in the state. An act appropriating $10,000 for the establishment of a state division of markets under the board of agriculture and providing for the inspection and grading of farm produce was passed on third and final reading. America's new superdreadnought, Colorado, which was launched at the Camden, N. J., yards of the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, will lack a fitting silver service for state occasions unless the present state Legislature approves a suitable appropriation, it became known when the Sons of Colorado, who have fostered the idea, announced that they are not contempla- a popular subscription to buy such a gift at this time. Bills appropriating $172,000 for the State Hospital for the Insane at Pueblo, $50,000 for the State Fair at Pueblo and $14,000 to pay the deficit of the fair last year, were passed on second reading by the House. A series of six Senate bills appropriating $75,000 and providing for the appointment of commissioners to settle water disputes between Colorado and neighboring states was passed on second reading. The House passed on third reading a bill by Representative Bert M. Lake, appropriating $200,000 to be used in case of emergency for the quelling of riots and disorder. The state House of Representatives passed on second reading a bill that will provide money for the completion and furnishing of the new state office building. The measure, which was introduced by Representative Bert M. Lake of Denver, provides for a tax levy of .12 of a mill for the next four years. This levy is expected to raise about $180,000 a year. The House killed on third and final reading a bill by Representative A. M. Wilson of El Paso county, to repeal the minimum wage law. The vote was 20 to 27. DR. CLARENCE F. HOLMES, JR. B.S., D.D.S.

LEST the South might become unduly alarmed because a Republican is now at the helm of the nation and both houses of Congress in the hands of the Liberals, we must inform our agitated friends in the the Republicans also, we hasten to inform our agitated friends in the South that they need not work themselves up too much and become unduly alarmed over the prospects of the Negro getting a square deal and eventually coming into his own as an American citizen. For the past eight years the Negro was practically kept on the run in order to escape the stones that were constantly hurled at him by the past administration. But in this instance, as is always the case, "it is a long lane that has no turn." The people of the country came to the conclusion last fall that it was time to make a turn in the road and so they did. The Negro has been marking time ever since waiting for the command from the commander-in-chief to march forward. Now, instead of retreating and skirmishing, the Negroes will soon be ordered to proceed on their journey of civil and industrial progress. We are in no particular hurry, for we are assured that this administration will restore to use all and more that was ruthlessly taken from us by the last administration. Having made our record for pure patriotism in the great war just ended, Mr. Harding has declared on several occasions that we were entitled to our full measure of citizenship because of our loyalty and sacrifices. Therefore we are simply marking time and awaiting orders from general headquarters. There are many paramount questions affecting us as a race beside patronage. There is the anti-lynching bill; the Spencer resolution authorizing the creation of a commission to investigate the condition of the Negro generally throughout the country and report up the same to Congress. Yes, we are marking time preparatory to making a march that will mark the most wonderful progress made by our race in all time. We have been held back and denied our proper representation and participation in the affairs of the government in sections of the country where we pay more than our pro-rata share of taxes. We have been too long paying taxes without representation. Now that the time has come when it seems likely that there is to be a turn in the road, there are many unduly excited gentlemen south of Mason's and Dixie who fear the oncoming tread of a people who are no longer marking time. HE IS RISEN EASTER marks the coming of spring-time and the Christian world will commemorate on Sunday morning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. To all civilized people Easter represents "THE NEW BIRTH." It is the spring festival when the people celebrate with flowers and song and all are glad that the long, sad winter night has been transformed into day and the sun shines brilliantly over all the earth, bringing back to life nature in all her glory. The Easter festival is as old as civilization, and is remarkably symbolized by giving the little children Easter eggs painted in the many colors of the beautiful rainbow and the little rabbits, all of which represent new life. We are told by the biblical students that besides being commemorative of the resurrection of Christ from the dead, the Easter festival of modern times is a memorial of the Christian passover from the Old Dispensation of the moral law to the New Dispensation wrought by the sacrifice for unity or atonement in the innocent death of Jesus Christ upon the cross. It was He who died upon the cross for humanity. He suffered untold agony upon the cross that we may be cleansed of all our sins. What a wonderful and loving Christ to take upon himself the sins of the world that we might go free. In ancient times the Easter festival was celebrated with big bon fires away up on the hill tops so that those who were celebrating could see afar off. It was generally the time when most marriage ceremonies were celebrated by the young people. Even unto this day many people marry especially on Easter in commemoration of the resurrection of Christ, which marks the beginning of a new life. We know of no Christian festival that arouses the church to greater heights of enthusiasm and special arrangements and preparations for the great celebration. The great choirs of all denominations are singing anthems of joy and gladness in commemorating the resurrection. The little children are filled with joy and their hearts beat with delight as they roll their varied colored eggs and fondle their little pet rabbits. Many who have not been in touch with the church for the past year find it convenient to set aside this day for the service of the Lord. They know that on this day "HE IS RISEN." The churches are bedecked with many fragrant flowers and the birds are singing their sweetest notes. It is truly a spring festival in which the rich and poor can all take part and give satisfaction to their troubled souls. It makes no difference how negligent and indifferent we have been in attendance at church all during the year, we strive to be in our pews on that day to lift up our voices in singing praise unto Him. So it is—Easter is the symbol of the new birth. Let it be the new birth for us in many ways during the remainder of the year, and let Christ be risen indeed in our hearts. Claim of Allies Righteous and Must Be Enforced Against Germany By LLOYD GEORGE, British Premier Germany can pay if she means to. She has not yet taxed herself to the level of Great Britain or France. Soporius Midwomen & Feminists There are some who say that it was the old regime that was responsible for all that. That is not so; the whole German people were behind it. Yes, even the Socialists—the Socialists of Germany, who pretended to be a bulwark of peace, supported every proposal, including the invasion of Belgium. The only one among them who protested was thrown into prison and afterward assassinated. The German people were solidly behind that enterprise in 1914, and if they had won would have gladly shared the booty. Therefore, the German nation is responsible morally by that and legally by its treaties. The burden imposed is not an extravagant one. For the first two years it is not equal to the annual pension bill of France or of Great Britain. Afterward it increases, but that is in proportion to the increased prosperity of Germany. Our claim is a righteous one, and we must enforce it. As far as Germany is concerned, it is purely a question of good will. The allied peoples are only anxious that the sword should remain sheathed. There is nothing to induce the allied peoples to take strong action except the feelings that you have the same Germany to deal with, led by the same people, animated by the same ideals, inspired by the same purpose, waiting each time to achieve the same ends; and the treaty which has been signed is intended to deal with that. The allies have the same just cause as ever. They will proceed in the same spirit of justice and moderation, and they are as united as ever to their purpose. Everything Is Based on Speculation; Americans Are Always Gamblers. Nothing is founded on tradition in America. Everything is based on speculation, gambling on the stock market and the exchange. Americans are intensely active and first and last gamblers always. When the A. E. F. was in France our experts noted how immeasurably wasteful Americans were, how indifferent to the cost of things and how ridiculously shortsighted in many ways. It's because Americans are gamblers. They don't want to make a fair profit for a long time, but to make a lot of money in a very short time. In order to do this they must take changes. The American's wastefulness, which amazes the French (for we may as well admit that we are sometimes economical to the point of avarice), is easily understood if you consider the gambling spirit. Money won in games of chance slips through the fingers like water, and most American money is like that; in America so many people made their money by luck, by a stroke of genius, by a series of favorable coincidences (and not by the sweat of their brow) that they are naturally spend-thrift and wasteful to an inconceivable degree. Everybody wastes in the United States, even the poor, and especially women, who, as a rule, do not seem to have had time to acquire the economical habits of their old world sisters. One-Year-After Divorce Law Proves a Failure Rather Than a Success The Illinois law forbidding the marriage of any divorcee until a year has elapsed after the divorce is a failure rather than a success. It is my opinion that more absolute hardship and injury will be done by permitting the present law to remain on the statute books than to repeal it. The law is continually violated as it is and no punishment can be meted out to the guilty party for the reason that the crime is always committed outside of the state and in a state where it is not unlawful to remarry within the year. It seems to me that actions of this kind are a direct assault upon a court of equity and that the possibility of injury in the future is so great that the law should be repealed. Under the law it is possible to have any of the so-called invalid marriages annulled years after they have been contracted. Individuals tired of each other use the law as a subterfuge to have their marriage declared illegal. Under the statute the courts have found it virtually impossible to deny applications for annulment, even though, in many instances, it was evident these should not be granted. Places of Rest and Service Quarters For Our Interstate Motorists By RICHARD LIEBER, Indiana Director of Conservation I am now thinking of the state parks in all our states as places of rest and service quarters for our interstate automobile travelers, and I can visualize many other places along the highways that connect our centers of population with centers of recreation that would be glad and willing to make provisions for the wayfarer. I visualize places of rest for the traveler as follows: A sufficiently large enclosure, a large gate to check in; an open center space, sheltered partitions for sleeping against the walls, a sheltered kitchen or pantry and wherever possible, water and hose connections; gas consumption, to be regulated by meter; water, included in a low general charge; garbage incinerator, sanitary army latrines, connection with sewer or, where such is not possible, a septic tank: gasoline and oil-filling machinery, a first aid repair shop, a gatekeeper's lodge, and, wherever necessary, a staple grocery. Enterprising towns will quickly avail themselves of this opportunity. The service they render will redound to their credit, and the institution itself should easily be made more than self-sustaining. --- Easter in the City Hudsonwood & Hudsonwood I did not know by the reviving grass. That the old miracle had come to pass; Nor by the hawthorne trembling in the I knew by a rose at the end of the street. And the glad martial moving of thousands of feet. That the mischievous old March, ancient yet new. Had come to the city, to me and to you; And the seed of his sowing had wakened again In the hearts and the souls of millions of men: I knew by the look in the eyes of the old, That the grass of His growing had covered the mold; I knew by the wonder that came to the boy, The stern, iron city with sorrow weighed down, That one had arisen who once had been dead And the white Easter message again had been said. —Charles Hanson Towne in the Detroit Free Press. Or the light laughter of the rain. I, In the fevered city's thundering mart, Heard not the sounds that quickened the heart. I hardly knew that Spring was on her way, So desolate and empty passed each day. With never a tree or fragrant cherry- bloom To haunt my spirit like an old perfume. I did not hear the breathing of the flowers. Amid the tumult of the hurrying hours; I did not see the ancient beauty come Unheralded by fife or bell or drum. But I knew in the clamoring towers. And the faces of children that blossomed like flowers: Lilies, Eggs, and Bunnies Odd Things Happen at Easter Time An Easter egg by any other name would taste just as delicious, but the world over the people are creatures of habit, so at Easter and around Easter only we have the chocolate and jelly eggs. There are many little tragedies which happen at Easter time. Some of them are not without their humorous side. Right on your very street, possibly in the house next door, there is something going on which is tragic to the person it happens to, and humorous to those who do not suffer by it. The association of Easter and eggs goes back to heathen times, says one authority. "It seems as if the egg was thus decorated for an Easter trophy, after the days of mortification and abstinence were over and festivity had taken their place, and as an emblem of the resurrection of life, as certified to us by the resurrection from the regions of death and the grave. Not only do we find this record of the use of eggs among the practices of the Egyptians, the ancient Israelites and the early Christians, but De Gobelin informs us that the custom of using eggs at Easter may be traced up not only to the theology of the people of Egypt, but to the theology and philosophy of the Persians, the Gauls, the Greeks and the Romans, all of whom regarded the egg as an emblem of the universe and the work of the Supreme Divinity." Take little Jack or little Mary, for instance. Well, we'll take little Mary. She gets an all-chocolate Easter bunny. All day long you'll long for a piece of that bunny—grown-ups call them rabbits—and all day long Mary'll hold it in her hand. Not that she is wise to the fact that we want a piece of chocolate, but just because the bunny is fascinating. By the end of the day Mary has no rabbit. Goodness, no! Nobody took the rabbit from Mary. She still has the chocolate—every bit of it—but the rabbit? Well, he just melted away into an unrecognizable solid mass. Fourteen-year-old brother has ideas of his own about how Easter should be spent. A certain young lady—thirteen years of age—is the apple of brother's eye, and it is only natural and fitting for a young man about to venture on the sea of love that he should have a certain kind of necktie and low shoes. Easter blooms forth in all its splendor and brother ventures forth to meet his lady fair. But lo! He figured on her liking his plain blue tie, and all the time she likes the regimental stripe tie worn by little Willie Green, and proves her liking by taking her Easter stroll with Willie, and not brother. The Christians have used eggs on Easter day as containing the elements of future life, symbolic of the resurrection. Painted or ornamented eggs have become in many lands an Easter institution. As for the bunny, the chicken and the kewple, they all play their part in modern Easter gifts. The bunny or hare owes its popularity to the belief of the German children that it is the hare who lays the eggs on Easter day. Easter always brings a profusion of flowers, with the illy the most popular of all. "In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born" has an additional meaning when one sees lilies on every side. The fact that a Philadelphian introduced the Bermuda lily to this country adds more interest to this ever-interesting subject. In 1880, so the story runs, a young man from the Bermudas was visiting in that city, and upon seeing a lily, exclaimed: "Oh, there is our lily." However, upon close examination he found that it was not a Bermuda lily. This incident led to a Philadelphia florist visiting Bermuda in 1851 and bringing the bulbs to this country. We all know its popularity. No wonder, for it is superior to both the Chinese and Egyptian (or calla); it is a surer bloomer and more profuse; it also has a greater fragrance. Three weeks before Easter, just when the Easter bonnet makes its appearance in the hat shops, mother rushes downtown to get herself a hat. And for three weeks mother is on pins and needles waiting for Easter day to arrive. And when Easter does arrive she is on more pins and needles waiting for 1 o'clock to strike so that she can spring a spring hat surprise on father. Of course, father and mother go to church on Sunday and she'll wear the hat. She thinks her pale green urban a little bit frisky. Father not only approves of mother's thoughts in words, but also thinks other things which will not be put in words. Grandma also suffered some little tragedies. Pardon the comparison, but church services to grandma are the same as a good personality to a politician or a fortune to a miser. And Easter services are always a little out of the ordinary. You know, special decorations and all that. But grandmother is disappointed with the services this year. The young man who sang the hymns this year did not do nearly as well—thanks to her memory—as the young man who sang the very same hymn 20 years ago. And the flowers! Not nearly so pretty as those of 30 years ago! It's a sad Easter for grandma after the services. Now the lily industry in the United States is thriving. Millions upon millions are grown from Florida to California. In these climes they are grown under glass, in fact a veritable lily king plants a half a million bulbs this way. But in enthusiasm for the lily, the rhododendron, the azalea, the spirea, tulip, hyacinth, daffodil, narcissus, ferns and the many others must not be forgot nor their charms overlooked.

Two weeks ago a sign was put outside of the Fairbanks Hotel stating that the business was "for sale," so we are putting this statement in the paper to let the public know that it was a malicious attack by two "gentlemen that will stoop to such a low grade of manhood to obtain a clean business establishment. We have had a detective working on the case and he has reported to us who the two parties were, and also who the boy is, that they employed to put the sign on our window. So, "gentlemen," I will call you "gentlemen," whether you are worthy of that title or not, if you have got enough "clean" cash on hand it would look more manly to see us in an upright way instead of using "black-hand methods" to do business. We have also put the case in the hands of our attorney. (Signed) CLARENCE VICTOR FAIRBANKS, MRS. NORA FAIRBANKS, Proprietors. Fancy flower-beds made in any design. Trees trimmed and lawns made over.

INTERNATIONAL The Roman Catholic Church Built Over the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem Lilies The Two Greatest Festivals of the Christian World Easter, like Christmas, is a season of great rejoicing throughout the Christian world, writes George B. Catlin in the Detroit News. The two might be termed the alpha and the omega of Christian festivals, since one celebrates the nativity and the other the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from death and the grave. As the early Christian records are fragmentary and imperfect it is impossible to determine when the celebration of Easter began. The early Christians of the church in the East were mostly converts from Judaism and these Christians continued the observance of the principal feasts and fasts of their ancestors, the ancient Israelites. The death and resurrection of Christ occurred at about the time of the Passover, which Jesus and his disciples had gone to Jerusalem to observe. The Last Supper, held in an "upper room" of a private home in Jerusalem, by some authorities supposed to be in the home of the mother of St. Mark, was the Feast of the Passover. The only allusion in the New Testament that would indicate a very early observance of Easter, as a feast celebrating the Resurrection, is in the first collection of the letters of St. Paul to the Christians of the church in Corinth; fifth chapter and seventh and eighth verses: "Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also has been sacrificed, even Christ: wherefore let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." In the subsequent records the first allusion to Easter is in connection with a dispute between two groups of Christians as to the date of the observance when, in the last decade of the second century of the Christian era, Polycrates, bishop of Ephesus, and Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons, wrote letters to Victor of Rome, differing with him on the subject of the proper date for the feast. The crucifixion occurred on the sixth day of the week, or Friday. The following day was the Jewish Sabbath and the Resurrection occurred on the first day of the week. The early Christians of Jewish ancestry wished to signify their separation from their former faith, so, presently, they ceased to observe the Jewish Sabbath and made their holy day Sunday, the first day of the week. The Jewish calendar is based on the phases of the moon, having months of 29 and 30 days alternately. The days of the month in the Jewish calendar, therefore, change from year to year during a period of 19 years or the metonic cycle, at the end of which period the phases of the moon reoccur on the same day. A partial readjustment of the dates is achieved by introducing an extra or interclary month in the third, sixth, eighth, eleventh, fourteenth, seventeenth and nineteenth years. The years having this interclary month are known as "embolismic" years. The length of the Jewish year varies from 353 to 385 days and because of this irregularity the Jewish new year may occur anywhere between September 5 and October 5. All other dates, including the Passover, are movable because of this peculiarity of the calendar. In 325 A. D. the date of the Easter feast, in dispute because of calendar and religious differences, was finally settled, but this did not obviate all difficulties. Because of the imperfections of the Julian calendar days of the month and year began to fall behind. By the year 1582 the calendar was 10 days behind and the vernal equinox, supposed to fall invariably on March 21, fell upon the 11th. This caused difficulty in fixing the correct date of the Easter celebration and because of that the Gregorian reformed calendar was invented and adopted. This festival was always preceded by a fast of some duration. At first the fast began on Good Friday and continued for 40 hours. A little later it was extended to three days and later still it was extended to a week known as Holy week, during which there was general abstinence from flesh meats. The first mention of the fast, corresponding closely to our present Lenten period, occurs in the fifth canon of the council of Nicea in which it is styled "the quadrigesima" or 40 days. Easter Song BY CLINTON SCOLLARD Easter!—and the umber mold Feels a kindling thrill of gold— Gold upon the willow tips, Gold upon the crocus lips; Feathery gold of catkin-ore And the colt's-foot by the shore! Easter!-and the bluebird's wing Shows an azure shimmering; On the robin's breast there glints Presage of the rose's tints, While the grackle's prismy throat Glistens with each warbled note. Easter!-and the lyric stream Wakens from its winter dream; Every strain the south wind breathes Some fond prophecy bequeathes; Every bough, a throbbing lyre, Volces some aroused desire. Easter!-and the wondrous clue To the marvel ever new- Earth's renascence, wherein we See revived mortality, As in root and branch and bole!- Easter-and the quickened soul! With all the authority of the church, in the early Christian centuries, it was impossible to lure the masses entirely away from pre-Lenten festivities and in some districts the period was extended from the twelfth day of Epiphany to Ash Wednesday. This period presently gained title as the "carnival" period, the word being derived from the Latin carnis, flesh, and vale, farewell, signifying: farewell to the flesh. According to another authority the derivation is from carnis and levamen, solace, meaning the solace of the flesh, but the former seems the more probable origin of the term. In modern Rome these festivities are limited to eight days. In several southern cities of the United States, as New Orleans, Memphis, Mobile and Galveston, short carnival celebrations are held each year beginning on Monday before Ash Wednesday and continuing through Shrove Tuesday. Mardi Gras is applied to this carnival in America. OUR GREAT PRE-EASTER SALE NOW IN FULL SWING Society Brand Clothes THE MA Prof. W. M.

I coverings, such as carpets and tings, which hold dust and dirt, are Maple Widely Used. Maple is one of the woods most used for kitchen floors. It is smooth and very durable, and when oiled is proof against grease and water stain. Longleaf Georgia pine and Douglas fir or red spruce are other desirable kinds, and may be painted or oiled. Any kind of wooden flooring should be well seasoned before it is laid to lessen the shrinking and swelling due to changes in temperature and atmospheric conditions. Any cracks in the floor should be filled with putty, or better, with one of the special preparations for the purpose. There are a variety of concrete and so-called "composition" floor materials now on the market which are advertised for kitchens. They are often easy to clean and do not absorb grease and water when new. Some of them, however, tend to crack and chip with wear, and then are difficult to keep in order. Some are also rather hard and fatiguing to stand on, though this drawback can be overcome somewhat by using mats of rubber, cork or some re- EXCELLENT RECIPES FOR VARIOUS ROLLS Vegetable Combinations to Serve in Place of Meat. Beans, Cowpeas, Lentils or Peas, With Different Kinds of Cheese and Bread Crumbs to Thicken Are Recommended. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) By combining legumes, either beans of various kinds, cowpeas, lentils, or peas, with cheese of various kinds, and adding bread crumbs to thicken the mixture, a large variety of rolls may be made. Beans are usually mashed, but peas or small lima beans may be combined whole with bread crumbs and grated cheese, and enough of the liquor in which the vegetables have been cooked may be added to give the right consistency. Homemade cottage cheese, or ordinary American cheese may be used. The following recipes are recommended by United States Department of Agriculture food specialists: Boston Roast. 1 pound can kidney beans or equivalent quantity of cooked beans. $ \frac{1}{2} $ pound grated cheese. Bread crumbs. Salt. Mash the beans or put them through a meat grinder. Add the cheese and sufficient bread crumbs to make the mixture stiff enough to be formed into a roll. Bake in a moderate oven, basting occasionally with butter and water. Serve with tomato sauce. This dish may be flavored with onions, chopped and cooked in butter and water. Pimento and Cheese Roast. 1 cupful cooked rice grains 2 pound cream cheese, commercial or home-made $ canned pimentos, chopped. Bread crumbs. Put the first three ingredients through a meat chopper. Mix thoroughly and add bread crumbs until it is stiff enough to form into a roll. Brown in the oven, basting occasionally with butter and water. Nut and Cheese Roast 1 cupful grated cheese. 1 cupful bread crumbs. 1 cupful chopped English walnuts. 2 tablespoonful chopped onion. 1 tablespoonful butter. Juice half a lemon. Salt and pepper. Cook the onion in the butter and a little water until it is tender. Mix the other ingredients and moisten with water, using the water in which the onion has been cooked. Pour into a shallow baking dish and brown in the oven. slient material. The special paints now on the market make concrete floors easier to care for, less dusty, and more durable. Linoleum is a very satisfactory covering for the kitchen floor. It is relatively durable, comfortable for the feet, and easy to clean. It is manufactured in a variety of colors, designs and qualities; the better grades will be found most economical in the long run. Varnishing or waxing linoleum is said to protect the surface and makes it wear longer. Floor oilcloth is cheap and easily cleaned, but wears out quickly. Floor coverings, such as carpets and mattings, which hold dust and dirt, are unsuited to the kitchen, says a revised edition of Farmers' Bulletin No. 607, "The Farm Kitchen as a Workshop," issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Constant Scrubbing Injurious. Whatever the material of the kitchen floor, or the covering used on it, constant scrubbing and the excessive use of soap and water will injure the surface. Care should be taken, therefore, pot to drop food on the floor. Spreading paper where food is likely to be dropped or grease to be spattered will save labor in the end. A soft brush or dust mop will keep a floor in better condition than a broom, and make mopping less frequently necessary. A dish mop of hotel size, kept in a convenient place and used to remove drops of water or other liquids accidentally spilled, will save frequent scrubbing of the entire floor, and when dampened and wrung nearly dry can be used to remove spots or dust. If so used it will often prevent dirt from being carried from one part of the room to another. HANDY CURTAIN STRETCHERS Devices Soon Pay for Themselves in Saving Worker's Time and Wear and Tear on Curtains. Curtain stretchers do not cost much, and soon pay for themselves in saving the worker's time and wear and tear on the curtains. Also, most kinds of curtains hang better if stretched into shape rather than ironed. In buying curtain stretchers it is worth while to pay a little more for a good, rigid kind that can also be used for drying blankets. Blankets dried on a stretcher keep their shape. The pins in a curtain stretcher may be movable so as to fit all the scallops of a curtain, but stationary pins are more satisfactory and substantial. Instead of having pins on the stretcher, many housewives wrap up the frame with heavy ticking or tape and pin the curtains or blankets to their pieces. Some frames are tied together at the corners with strips of tape or muslin, but clamps cost very little and are much more convenient.

THE KITCHEN CABINET We would ask to be unselfish, and be equal to life's test— To meet duties—as our pleasures—with a heart-clasp and a smile To make life well worth the living, and make living worth the while. —Caroline Sumner. SEASONABLE FOODS. In the great majority of American homes, because of lack of education along these lines and because of in different in many, the meals are prepared for the sole purpose of pleasing the palate and with little knowledge and because of in difference in many, the meals are prepared for the sole purpose of pleasing the palate and with little knowledge of food values. Because of this there is waste not only in food but in health as well. When one thinks a bit in regard to the meal getting and remembers that every year more than a thousand meals are prepared in every home, even a small waste multiplied by a thousand looms up at the end of the year into amounts and sums that no family should be willing to face. We all like variety. We all like foods in season, and fortunately, we do not like everything equally well. The well-trained child today is able to sit at any table where food is clean and well-cooked and make a comfortable meal, but unfortunately all our children are not yet well trained. Foods out of season, except in cases of illness where the appetite needs to be excited, or when used as an occasional garnish, are an extravagance which in most homes could be easily eliminated. What is needed in all of our homes is more simple, wholesome, well-balanced and attractive meals. "Let us study to show ourselves approved, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." Cabbage Salad.—Shred part of a small head of cabbage very fine. Plunge into cold water and let stand until crisp and curly. Drain until dry, dress with sour cream and sugar or sweet cream, sugar and a dash of vinegar. Add salt to season. Apple Delmonico.—Butter a baking dish and lay in a layer of tart apples cored, pared and cut in rings. Sprinkle with ground almonds and sugar, cover with another layer of apples, add crushed macaroons, pour over a cupful of sweet preserve juice or jelly and bake three-quarters of an hour in a quick oven. Pile on whipped cream and serve. Individual Baked Apples.—Use the small glass baking dishes. Cut apples in quarters and remove all the core. Set the apples in cups to resemble a whole apple. Fill the center with pieces of fig, dates or raisins. Add to each cup one tablespoonful of water. Bake until tender. The skin is not removed from the apple. Serve hot or cold with cream and sugar. March winds are blowing o'er mountains and vale, Flinging the snow-drifts away, Rivers run riot and laugh at the gale, Skies are all sunless and gray: Robins regretting their journey so long From Southland, where blossoms are bright, Seek shelter from storm, forgetting their song. While swift fall the shadows of night, But out in the woodland the children have found Sweet bloom on a low trailing vine, "Arbutus! 'Tis Springtime!" Their voices resound With joy, and their joy shall be mine. —Ruth Raymond. DISHES FOR TWO. It is comparatively no problem to cook a small steak, a chop or two and prepare and cook vegetables for one or two, but a dessert is not always easy to handle. The following may be helpful: Caramel Custard - Melt two prepare and cook vegetables for one or two, but a dessert is not always easy to handle. The following may be helpful: Caramel Custard. — Melt two and two-thirds tablespoonfuls of sugar to a rich brown and pour into two small custard cups, tipping the cup so that the sides as well as the bottom are covered. Have the cups hot and the caramel will not harden so quickly. Beat one egg, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one cupful of thin cream or rich milk. If desired a few drops of vanilla may be added. Set in a pan of hot water and bake until the custard is set. Turn out while hot on individual plates and chill before serving. Angel Parfait.—Take two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one teaspoonful of water, cook until the soft ball stage, pour over the stiffly beaten white of one egg and flavor with a few drops of almond. When cold add one-half cupful of whipped cream lightly folded in. Pack in a small mold in ice and salt for two hours. Blanc Mange.—Stir one and one-half tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls of sugar and add three-fourths of a cupful of milk. Add a pinch of salt and cook until thick. Fold in the stiffly beaten white of an egg, flavor to taste and pour into a mold to chill. Serve with macaroons or cookies and serve with: Orange Cream.—Whip one-half cupful of cream, add orange extract and a little yellow fruit coloring until of a soft custard shade. Nellie Maxwell The Kitchen Cabinet It is not enough to be industrious; so are the ants. What are you industrious about? - Thereau. WHAT TO SERVE FOR DINNER A soup which is somewhat out of the ordinary and provides a nourishing dish for the bill of fare is: Cauliflower and Tomato Soup.—Rub a head of cooked cauliflower through a colander, mix with two cupfuls of sifted tomato, add two cupfuls Cauliflower and Tomato Soup.—Rub a head of cooked cauliflower through a colander, mix with two cupfuls of sifted tomato, add two cupfuls of water in which the bones of a roast turkey have been cooked. Season with three teaspoonfuls of salt and one tablespoonful of pepper. Cook one tablespoonful of minced onion in three tablespoonfuls of fat until brown. Stir in four tablespoonfuls of flour and add the vegetable pulp and stock. Stir until boiling. Serve with rings of sweet green pepper as a garnish. Mock Venison.—Hang a leg of mutton in a cool place as long as possible, while it keeps sweet. Then take off the skin and put the mutton into a dripping pan or kettle and pour over the following pickle: Take three heads of garlic or three sliced onions, one-half ounce of peppercorns, one-fourth ounce of allspice berries crushed, six bay leaves, a dozen sprigs of thyme and a dozen sprigs of parsley, all brought to a boll in three cups of vinegar. This pickle should be rubbed into the meat, rubbing and turning for at least thirty minutes. Allow the meat to remain in the pan, covering the top with thinly sliced onions until the next day, then repeat the rubbing and lay in the pan the other side up, covering with onions again. Continue tlhs for four days, then wipe the meat dry and rub for half an hour in a pint of hot molasses. Let the meat hang in a cool place until the next day, then wipe dry and roast the same as a leg of mutton. Serve with melted currant jelly. This sounds like a good deal of work but it is worth it. Date Bran Muffins.—Sift one cupful of flour, three teaspoonful of baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of sugar. Add one beaten egg to two cupfuls of bran and one and one-half cupfuls of milk. Beat thoroughly, add one-half cupful of dates cut in small bits, combine with the flour mixture and bake in muffin pans twenty-five minutes. Rhubarb Soup.—Take six stalks of rhubarb, cut in small pieces. Add the rhubarb to one quart of veal stock, one small onion, two thin slices of bread and salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture boll, removing the scum as it rises. Simmer gently until the rhubarb is tender. Strain and serve with toasted bread. Even in ordinary life the unselfish people are the happiest—those who work to make others happy and who forget themselves. The dissatisfied people are those who are seeking happiness for themselves.-Mrs. Besant. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. The leather cushions of chairs and couches may be treated with ordinary tan or black shoe dressing, the cleanser and polishing wax. Rub it in with great care and scratches and stains will be removed, the leather preserved and made new looking. WASHINGTON The leftover pancakes broken in bits and added to scrambled eggs make a palatable dish and a saving on eggs. Before roasting the leg of lamb place it in a kettle with one-fourth of a cupful of rice, salt, pepper and one onion, celery and parsley; add two quarts of water and simmer one hour. Remove and roast as usual. The broth will make a delicious soup. Old hair brushes may be renewed when soft by dipping the bristles into a strong solution of alum water. Hair brushes are good to clean the brushes in the carpet sweeper. When rendering lard grind it through the sausage grinder and there will be much less waste. They will do this at small cost at the market if you request it. Casters which drop out from furniture can be fixed by pouring in a little hot paraffin and inserting the caster while the paraffin is hot. Sew strips of old rubbers on the corners or sides of rugs that bother about slipping. To remove wall paper from walls a thin paste put on hot will soak the paper and will not dry as quickly as clear water. A large pink-lined sea shell makes a pretty receptacle for a bunch of growing violets or violets and ferns. To mend oilcloth, linoleum or congoleum that has become cracked, place a strip of adhesive tape under the crack, bringing the edges together, then put under a weight to dry. Use any bits of leftover paint to paint the inside and outside of the garbage can. It will keep it from rusting. House ferns, if steamed by setting them in a pan of rather hot water once a week, will throw out new shoots very soon. Nellie Maxwell A. HASER, Prop.

L JUST why it is that women from Maine to California are all seized at one and the same time with a desire for one particular kind of hat or bock, has never been explained. But to it happens, and some fine morning milliners from everywhere begin wiring into their wholesalers for a certain straw or silk hat and merchants find one fabric has cast all others in the shadow of neglect. Just at present there is a furore for crepe-de-chine. Everybody demands it—in gowns, in blouses, in hats, alone or in company with other materials. Crepe-de-chine we have always with us, having borrowed it from China many generations ago, but we are newly awakened to its beauty. Two very simple and very pretty afternoon frocks, shown in the illustration, are of the straight-line variety which can only be developed successfully in crepes or other very soft and clinging fabrics. These are in crepe-de-chine, a blue at the left, with deep hem and four tucks about the skirt run with heavy silk floss. The Furbelows for Eastertide A THE rarest thing in mortal eyes greets Eastertide with various captivating furbelows in her possession. Many of them are made of ribbons—Easter gifts of friends who love that beauty should go beautifully, for ribbons are the long-time friend of fair women. Every year they grow in importance, appearing in all her apparel from head to feet and from inside out. There is, therefore, a long list of ribbon fineries to choose from, if one is looking for gifts that women love, leading off with shopping bags and many other kinds of bags. Next in importance are girdles and sashes, corsage and dress ornaments, and then follow lingerie and lingerie decorations, with ribbons and laces combined in an endless variety of ways. In the picture two bags, two girdles and two corsage or dress ornaments are shown, portraying new developments of old favorites in ribbon accessories. A wide ribbon collar on a small straw hat provides all that it needs in the way of trimming, with ends joined under a long slide which might be replaced by a knot of the ribbon with equally good effect. One of the new offerings in umbrellas adds to the square-necked bodice and short sleeves are finished off with painted frills of cream-colored georgette. Where the frills join the sleeves there appears again the running stitch to silk floss—the utmost in simplicity of finish. The designer must have had in mind the fashioning of a refined and quiet little frock without any frivolity about it, and the little cluster of three crocheted blossoms, posed on the neck frill, bears out this idea. The frock at the right is more presentious and boasts several new style features. It calls georgette to its aid and presents the long tunic, the full sash and girdle, and bodice with spreading opening at the front, that have all marked this season for their own. It is all in gray with outline embroidery on the tunic and about the arm's-eye. The georgette undersleeves are unusual and becoming, and georgette makes the bloused vestee. The tie of narrow ribbon at the front might be in any of the new shades, as flamingo, pink, tangerine, tourato, red. satisfaction of the wearer of this smart hat. The two bags show novel decoration made of ribbons and applied with stitches to a background of heavy ribbon in an indefinite brocaded pattern. Fruits and flowers, leaves with veining indicated by perforations, make a rich ornamentation across the lower part of the bag. The remaining bag shows a quaint figure in a swing, all cut out of ribbons and applied to a curiously woven background. The swing is simulated by a silk cord and the skirt of the swinging lady by frills made of narrow ribbon with fancy edge. The bodice is cut from a bit of velvet ribbon and the face and arms from pale pink satin. No detail is neglected—even a small bonnet frames the face, in which features and hair are outlined with silk floss. Millinery centers and foliage are supplied to the ribbon flowers in the two corsage ornaments.
