THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PEONAGE IN LOUISIANA FOR TWENTY YEARS Writer in New York Evening Post, Himself a Native of Louisiana, and Thoroughly familiar With Conditions There, Calls Attention to Debt Bondage Which Places Unfortunate and Ignorant Negroes in Complete Power of Creditors Under Same Status That Obtains in Georgia. VOL. XXVII. PEONAGE IN LOUISI FO Writer in New York Evening Post and Thoroughly familiar Wition to Debt Bondage Which Negroes in Complete Power That Obtains in Georgia. (By J. D. Sayers, Native of Louisiana, in New York Evening Post.) THAT a condition of peonage worse than the old chattel slavery exists to this day in the South is not very well known in the North and is surprisingly ignored in the South itself. The writer is a native of Louisiana, reared in an outlying agricultural section where the Negro population is three to every one of the whites. Having grown up with the peonage system, I naturally became familiar with it as few men could who might go there from the North or even from Southern cities to study the conditions. Very recent visits and close observation, purposely made, convince me that conditions of peonage are nearly as common and as much condoned in my home state and generally throughout the cotton raising sections of the whole South as during my childhood, over twenty years ago. How Peonage Starts. Practically all the Negroes either work for wages or work on "shares"—that is, the owner furnishes the Negro and his family land, animals and tools with which to work and the tenant gives the landlord half his crop for the use of the land work, animals and tools. As soon as the young Negro marries he begins working for some land owners under these conditions. He never has enough cash ahead to buy everything in the way of food and clothing that he and his family need; therefore he must go to the landlord for these things. The landlord either has a plantation store or has arrangements made with the nearby village or small town store to credit the Negro and charge the account to the landlord. In the majority of cases the Negro is uneducated and unable to keep an accurate account of what he buys. He simply trusts the landlord. Even if he has an education and keeps an account, he is not permitted to compare his books with those kept by the landlord. The account as kept by the latter is the one the settlement is based on at the end of the year when the crop is sold. If the Negro has bought five bacon middlings for 40 cents a pound he is charged up with fifteen or so, and at a much higher price than the regular store price. He may have bought a barrel of flour, but he must pay for two or three at extortionate prices. He may have plowed in rocky fields bare-footed to save having to buy more than one pair of shoes, but he finds at the end of the year his memory has played a trick and he has really, according to the store account, enjoyed the luxury of two pair or three pairs of healthy priced shoes. His wife may have gone through the year with two cheap calico dresses and find in December that she has, in fact, dressed quite sumptuously during the year—according to the infallible store record. Purchasing Negro Debts. At the end of the year the Negro may decide that he could do better in some other locality and want to move. He and the landlord make a settlement. The Negro's part of the crop is worth so much. The good bookkeeping landlord's account against the Negro is always considerably more, nevertheless. If some other landlord likes the Negro's style of work well enough to pay the excess account, he can have the Negro starting the latter in with a good sized beginning of debt at the first of the year. Frequently the buying landlord bargains secretly with the selling landlord, securing a sort of split in the excess account charged against the Negro. Some years ago, soon after the enactment of the federal anti-peonage statute, some land owners in Florida, were convicted under that law, and attention was attracted from all sections of the country. People living in far parts of this country were shocked out of their satisfied state of mind about this being a land wholly free; but they recovered from their shock with the comforting belief that the new slavery had been deservingly wiped out at one blow by the paternal federal government. It was not so and still is not so. Bought Prison Release. I knew three brothers in my home community in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, who spent thousands of dollars to save themselves from terms in federal prison about fourteen years ago. Two of them were left in poverty as a result and the son of the third inherited the plantation of his father, and a year ago—I personally saw and know the exact truth of this statement—he was holding Negroes in practical bondage on the strength of watered accounts in the same old way. Little less than a year ago a friend of mine was threatened with death at Caldwell, Burleson county, Texas, for daring to raise his voice against the shameful system of peonage along the Brazos river in that section. I lived for several years in Texas and knew that the standard system of peonage as practiced generally in the South is prevalent throughout the cotton sections of Texas wherever Negroes are permitted residence—they are not allowed to live in various portions of the state. It would seem that what Is needed to bring about abolition of great evils in this country is not new laws always for we more often have those in sufficient quantity, but a wholesome, indignant public opinion aroused to such a point that slow, unaggressive federal agents are spurred out of their sleepiness and forced to go aggressively and consistently about their duties of finding infractions of the laws they have sworn to actively enforce. If the federal officers in the South should use the same initiative in running down violations of the anti-peonage laws as prohibition enforcement officers use in enforcing the Eighteenth amendment, peonage in this good land would beat John Barleycorn into final oblivion. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 14 1921 FILM SHOWS EXTENSION WORK AMONG NEGROES How the Negro farmer of the South is becoming a more prosperous and contented citizen through the influence of agricultural extension work is shown in a new motion picture produced and recently released by the United States Department of Agriculture. The picture was made in co-operation with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and Tuskegee Institute. The picture is in two reels, under the title, "Helping Negroes to Become Better Farmers and Homemakers." The central character is Rube Collins, a typical Negro farmer. He is brought in touch with agricultural extension work through his discovery that the boll weevil is ravaging his cotton fields. Through the county agent he learns how to raise cotton despite the boll weevil and how to diversify his crops so that his farming will bring a good return. Later on the film shows the appointment of Negro extension workers, both men and women, and their work among Negroes. Another feature of the film is a "movable school" which carries instruction for farming and home work direct to the farms. The picture ends with a family scene at the Collins home and a phonograph fading into the strains of "Suwannee River." The picture will be circulated through the distribution system of the department and co-operating state institutions. Copies may be bought by authorized persons or institutions at the cost of manufacturing, which is about $80 for the two reels. N. A. A. C. P. WIRES MISSOURI GOVERNOR OF BOWLING GREEN LYNCHING. JAMES W. JOHNSON SAYS IT ADDS WEIGHT TO DEMAND FOR FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCH LAW. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70, Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a telegram to the governor of Missouri urging that the entire power of the state be exerted to bring to trial and to convict the murderers who lynched a Negro, Roy Hammonds, at Bowling Green, on April 29. The telegram, which was signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, states that this conspicuous failure on the part of state authorities to protect their prisoner, following immediately upon the terrible disclosures of peonage and murder in Georgia, could only add weight to the growing demand for a federal law to stamp out lynching in the South. The telegram is as follows: "April 30, 1921. "Hon, Hyde, Governor of Missouri, Jofferson City, Mo. "National Association for Advancement of Colored People, representing 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States, urges that the entire power of the state of Missouri be exerted to capture, try and convict the murderers who according to press reports hanged Roy Hammonds at Bowling Green on April 29. Such a conspicuous failure of state officials to protect their prisoner from a mob, coming close upon the shocking disclosures of peonage and murder in Georgia only adds weight to the demand for federal action on lynching in the South." CHARLESTON, W. V.A., May 9. Over a million dollars, or, to be exact, $1,206,216.46 was the total of the appropriations made by the West Virginia Legislature before its adjournment last week, for the creation and support during the next two fiscal years, beginning July 1st next, of Negro agencies and institutions, educational, eleemosynary and corrective. Of this amount approximately one-third goes to the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, which receives for salaries, buildings and current and other expenses $455,272.46. For the same purposes the Bluefield Colored Institute has placed to its credit $133,644, and Storer College, a private school, $6,000. The newly created institutions fared equally as well, the hospital for insane getting $150,000 for buildings and land and $30,000 for current general expenses. The industrial school for boys was allowed $150,000 for buildings and land, and a similar home for girls, $50,000. Including the insurance derived from the burning of the Colored Orphans' Home, that institution is to receive for rebuilding $126,000, the tuberculosis sanitarium gets $52,500 and the deaf and blind school $30,000. Other appropriations were: Bureau of Newro Welfare and Statistics, $12,200; supervisor of Negro schools, $5,400; advisory council to the State Board of Education, $5,200. The state has already bought a 650-acre farm of rich bottom land as a site for the hospital for the insane, and negotiations are pending for a location for the deaf and blind school. The erection of buildings for both these establishments probably will be begun in the near future. Sites for the school for incorrigible boys and the home for wayward girls are to be selected by the advisory council, co-operating with the State Board of Control. When these are completed the state will have eight institutions for and under the management of Negroes. MAN DIES SUDDENLY; HAD A FORTUNE ON HIS PERSON New York, April 28.—Joseph Lee, 48 years old, died at Fifty-third street, with a fortune on his person. The unfortunate man, who was found by the landlady, was well fortified in a financial way when death's reaper caught him. The police were immediately notified and are at this time looking for his relatives. It is claimed that Joseph Lee has a sister and niece living in Washington, D. C., on some part of "F" street. The police department is very anxious to locate his relatives and on proper proof turn over to them the dead man's belongings. He is a man of 5 feet 9, and would be taken for a white man ordinarily, and had red hair and ferrick face and wore a stubby mustache, and his occupation was a waiter. He went to Florida in the winter and Thousand Islands in the summer. Any information as to his relatives should be sent to the Bureau of Missing Persons of the New York Police Department. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS —COLORED MAN ELECTED ALDERMAN IN FLORIDA. Palatka, Fla., April.—E. E. Nottage, colored, was elected alderman from the sixth ward in the municipal election here, defeating C. E. Porter, a white man. The election of Nottage places two colored men on the council, the other member also being from the sixth ward, a district populated almost entirely by Negroes. NEGROES TO CONTROL FIRST NATIONAL BANK. Chicago, May 9—The First National Bank to be controlled by Negroes—The Douglas National Bank of Chicago—today received its charter from the comptroller of the currency at Washington. Only one white man, the chairman of the board of directors, is connected with the bank in any capacity. Stock in the institution, which opens with $200,000 in capital and $50,000 in surplus, is to be sold exclusively to Chicago Negroes. DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. Cambridge, Mass., April 25.—Miss Eva B. Dykes of Washington recently passed her examination for the degree of doctor of philosophy in English at Radcliffe College. Cambridge, Mass. Miss Dykes is the first colored woman to be recommended for such a degree. She received her elementary training in the public schools of Washington, D. C., and is a graduate of the Dunbar High School. In 1917 Miss Dykes received her A. B. degree from Radcliffe with honors, in English, "magna cum laude," and in 1918 received a master's degree. Miss Dykes has not only the honor of being the first colored woman candidate for the degree of Ph. D., but she also is the only member of the colored race to have that degree in English. KU KLUX WARN WHITE EDITOR TO HALT ATTACK Columbus, Ga., May 6.—It has become dangerous in Georgia for a white editor to attack the Ku Klux Klan. This became known when Thomas W. Loyless, editor of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, wrote an article in the New York Herald denouncing the order as an unnecessary institution. The following day he received a special delivery letter from Atlanta which stated: "Leave New York newspaper troubles with K. K. K. alone. Dead men tell no tales." The letter was turned over to Hooper Alexander, U. S. district attorney at Atlanta, for investigation. Loyless was at one time editor of the Chronicle, Augusta, Ga., a paper whose policy prohibited the word "Mr. or Mrs." being used when applying to members of our race. CIVIL RIGHTS BILL BEATEN IN PENNSYLVANIA. Harrisburg, Pa.—The fight for an "Equal Rights" law, which has had the entire state in a turmoil for the past month, ended in gloom this week when the Asbury bill, which had been intro- NO 31 duced by Representative J. C. Asbury, colored, and which was designed to secure equal privileges for all races in public places, was killed in committee. The bill had passed the House, but produced a bitter fight in the Senate. Its opponents did not relish going on record against it and for that reason killed it in a secret session of the committee. The Pennsylvania Legislature was the scene of a real battle for racial rights. Prominent colored people from all over the state have been in Harrisburg lobbying and using every kind of political persuasion to win support for the measure. They had the backing of many of the foremost politicians of the state, particularly the representatives of districts with a large colored population. Colored people in the state are very bitter over the result and it is being freely predicted that the fight will be taken directly to the people at the next election. MRS. GRACE MURPHY MADE POLICEWOMAN IN DETROIT Detroit, Mich., May 6.—The record made by Mrs. Grace W. Murphy during the World war as a member of the Red Cross has resulted in her appointment as the first policewoman in the state of Michigan. Mrs. Murphy was president of a Red Cross division here. She had the personal indorsement of Forrester B. Washington and many other prominent social and political leaders here. Mrs. Murphy has been active in club life, being a member of the Detroit Civic Club and a member of the executive committee of the Hardling-Groesbeck Republican Club. Several cities now have policewomen. The most active is Mrs. Grace Wilson of Chicago, who is now considered a veteran in the police service. Her work covers a wider range than ordinarily given policewomen by large municipalities. She has solved several murder cases and arrested criminals with long records. COLORED POPULATION TO PURCHASE PLEASURE PARK New York, April 25—The Swanee Recreation Grounds, Inc., is the name of a colored corporation, capitalized at $500,000, which has been organized to purchase a fourteen-acre seaside hotel and park that constitutes a complete summer resort. It is reported that the corporation will take title to the property before May 1. The name selected for the new resort is "Joyland Beach." Besides the usual hotel and picnic facilities, the company intends to grant concessions to members of the race for devices and features that are strictly clean and whose operators are responsible. The office of the company is at 2340 Seventh avenue, New York. FIRST MOB TO FACE A JURY UNDER THE NEW GEORGIA LAW Camilla, Ga., April 25.—Nine indictments have been returned by the county grand jury in connection with the lynching last January of Jim Roland, colored, said to be the first of such findings in the state under what is known as the "mob violence act." The charges are murder and mob violence, and all of the indicted men, except two, have been arrested and released on $10,000 bond, to be tried next week. Roland was shot and killed by a mob after he had shot and seriously injured Jason Harrell of Grady county. Witnesses testified before the grand jury, it is stated, that Harrell was making some colored men dance, and that when Roland came along Harrell tried to make him dance also. Roland, it was testified, refused to dance, whereupon both pulled their pistols and began firing, Harrell falling badly wounded. CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS MOTHERS' DAY at the churches in our city was fittingly celebrated. The day will long be remembered by members and friends of the Second Baptist Church, where Rev. T. N. Whitten was duly installed as pastor. At the service Rev. Whitten paid a glowing tribute to virtuous women. The Installation service was held at 3 p. m. Rev. C. A. Miller of Denver officiated, accepted his text Acts xx: 28. "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." Deacon G. W. Mayo was master of ceremony. The address: of Welcome was delivered by Miss Irma D. Kelly to which Rev. Whitten made fitting reply. Follows Miss Kelly's address: "The Man of the Hour," Rev. I. N. Whitter. By Miss Irma Kelly. A thousand times we welcome the man of the hour to our city and our church, because we feel we might look among a thousand and fail to discover him. He is not impossible, but he is a rare specimen of human power. He is rare because he must fill the full measure of a definitely commissioned leadership of his generation. Such a man is not found by search among the multitudes. We welcome the man of the hour to our homes and hearts because he revealed himself as the morning sun reveals the glory of a new day. He is neither discovered nor introduced by other men. He is a man with a mission and he came endowed with a self-impelling power to fulfill it. We welcome the Man of the Hour to the food we eat and the water we drink, because he is the voice of one crying in the wilderness. A thousand times we welcome the man of the hour, because he must be the prince of men. He must see things for himself. As an original discoverer he who walks only where he sees other men's tracks makes no new discoveries. He must break new ground and cultivate new fields for himself. And as he climbs higher he climbs alone; draws all the world after him. Again we welcome the Man of the Hour to our streets and our cars, because he is a man without a price. He cannot be sold nor can he be bought. A thousand times we welcome the Man of the Hour. Because we feel he is not a quitter but a fighter for the sacred rights of God. Again we welcome you to the air we breath and the rays of sunshine we enjoy each day. Because he is a man of the people. He feels his kinship with the great masses of humanity. To him all men are children of God. His heart beats with the pulse of the vast multitudes who feel his fellowship and follow his guidance. A thousand times we welcome the Man of the Hour to our church, our homes and our community. Such a personality i sthe man of the hour, hectyt. ty is the Man of the Hour, and such a Man of the Hour is the Honorable Rev. I. N. Whitten. At the evening service Rev. Miller's text was Proverbs xiii; 15: "Good Understanding Giveth Favour; but the Way of the Transgressor Is Hard." At Allen Chapel Rev, J. M. Endicott delivered a memorial sermon on Mothers, followed by an elaborate program, in which Mrs. James Smith was assisted by Mesdames Cave, Randle, Witt, Wright and Dorothy Forbush. The funeral services of Mrs. Sallie Clinton was held from Bricker Bros. undertaking parlors Thursday, May 5th. Rev. J. M. Endicott officiated. The remains were shipped to Hannibal, Mo. Mrs. L. N. Whitten is at home to her friends at 613 West 19th street. Mrs. Whitten arrived in our city on Wednesday and is well pleased with our hospitality. Mrs. Henry Cooper has recovered from recent illness. Mrs. L. McKinney departed for Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. Carter of Denver were Cheyenne visitors. Mr. Clarence J. Tolliver was a Sunday dinner guest at the home of Mrs. Mattie Crawley. Revs. G. S. Stacker and E. W. Wright were prominent speakers at the installation services. The statement that the Baptists are moving hell was made by Rev. Wright and endorsed by Rev. Stacker. The Baptist church has 22 more names enrolled since Rev. I. N. Whitten accepted the charge. Candidate for Councilman, District No. 8 M THE RIGHT man for the right place, as not only is he familiar with the workings of municipal government, but possesses the qualifications to run the same on an economical basis without detriment to the public. Anyone who knew him in the years gone by and followed his career as councilman of District No. 8, is conversant with his policy—THE PEOPLE FIRST—and to return him to the position of councilman on Tuesday next is an assurance of the confidence reposed in him by the people. He merits the votes of the colored electors, as his popularity with them is due to the fact that he is the same Andrew Horan in and out of office, being an ever-ready listener to the complaints of the people he represents and always employs his best efforts to adjust matters satisfactorily to them and to the government. On the question of segregation, our acquaintanceship and dealing with Mr. Horan for thirty-five years in his treatment of the colored people in normal times and times of stress when he gave them employment, irrespective of race or color, and gave recognition in particular to those who measured up to and maintained self-respecting manhood and womanhood is a signal proof that he is an American who stands for Americans. Be sure, then, and go early to the polls on Tuesday, May 17th, and record your vote thus: ANDREW HORAN | X | | | When elected to the important office of C auditor, I stand obligated only to efficiently a minister that trust and give just co-operation her city departments and prompt, courtec ervice to all. I am free of any political or person obligations associated with the office. Advertisement. When elected to the important office of City Auditor, I stand obligated only to efficiently administer that trust and give just co-operation to other city departments and prompt, courteous service to all. I am free of any political or personal obligations associated with the office. GEORGE D. BEGOLE, Candidate for Auditor. ELECTION MAY 17, 1921. TARIFF BILL PASSES SENATE MEASURE CARRIES ALL FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDA- TIONS—VOTE 63 TO 28. GOES TO CONFERENCE TARIFF BILL RADICAL CHANGE TO MEASURE PASSED IN HOUSE. Washington, May 12.—The Senate has passed the emergency tariff and anti-dumping bill, retaining all the amendments recommended by the finance committee, but rejecting those individually proposed. The vote was 63 to 28. The vote was 60 to 20. The Knox amendment, continuing war-time control over imports of dyestuffs was accepted, 61 to 25. Seven Democrats—Senators Broussard, Louisiana; Jones, New Mexico; Kendrick, Wyoming; Myers, Montana; Pittman, Nevada; Ransdell, Louisiana, and Sheppard, Texas—voted with the Republicans in passing the bill. Another Democrat, Ashurst, Arizona, who was absent, was announced as a supporter. Only one Republican, Senator Moses of New Hampshire, voted against the bill. As passed by the Senate the measure differs radically from that which was passed by the House and now goes to conference. Only the tariff features were kept intact, the ant-dumping and currency revaluation sections being rewritten and the provision added for continuation of the war-time restrictions on imports of dyestuffs. Action by the Senate came after five hours of attack by Democratic leaders. The latter, however, were not alone in attempts to amend the measure, for several Republicans tried to broaden its scope. All amendments were swept aside by practically the same vote. Senator King, Democrat, Utah, was not content, however, and made another effort to strike out the dye provision just prior to the final vote. That failed, also. The Utah senator, after the passage, announced he would offer a resolution soon, asking an investigation of the monopoly, which, he said, had been permanently intrenched by the Senate's action. There were attempts by some Democrats who favored the measure to increase rates on particular commodities. Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, made a hard fight to raise the rate on long staple cotton from 7 to 20 cents. His amendment was rejected, 74 to 7. Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mexico, sought to have the bill include hides and drew forth the largest vote favoring the change that was recorded on any amendment. It was defeated, however, 36 to 49. The amendment was given support by Senator Bursum, Republican, also of New Mexico, who, in his maiden speech, declared that cattle hides were selling for "a dollar apiece and it takes a wagonload to pay for a pair of shoes." Among the Senate conferences selected were Chairman Penrose of the finance committee, and Senator Smoot, Utah, Republicans. As passed by the Senate, the bill is to be effective for six months, when it is hoped that the permanent tariff law now being framed by the House ways and means committee will have been enacted. It provides duties on wheat, corn, beans, peanuts, potatoes, rice, cattle, sheep, meats, long staple cotton and cotton manufactures, wool and wool manufactures, sugar, silk, wrapper and filler tobacco and other farm products. In addition, the bill carries an ant-dumping section designed to check the influx of cheaply manufactured foreign goods. Provision is made for the inspection of foreign exporters' books to determine costs where necessary for the assessment of duties. Labor Body Scores Gompers. Huntington, W. Va.—A resolution condemning the policies of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, was adopted by the West Virginia Federation of Labor in annual convention. The resolution characterized Mr. Gompers as a tool of politicians and declared that under his guidance the federation was "like a ship without a rudder." Milwaukee, Wis.—With one of its wings lifting a tree on the take-off of what was to be the maiden trip, the Lawson air liner De Luxe, valued at $75,000, crashed fifty feet to the ground. Four passengers, including Alfred W. Lawson, the designer, escaped unhurt. Damage was estimated at about $8,000. Federal Agents Seize Wine. New York.—Champagne and wines valued at approximately $50,000 were seized in a raid conducted by federal prohibition officers on a store conducted by Rabbi Uri Fleschen. Prohibition officers previous to the raid had purchased several bottles of wine from a clerk in the store. According to the agents, the rabbi has a permit to sell wine for religious purposes on a rabbi's authorization. The federal agents claim they purchased the wine without any such authorization --- COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

Reform organizations of various kinds have disclaimed the parentage of an anti-tobacco drive which got some attention in Washington recently. There was a question of just who was sponsoring it, but news of the arrival of the movement in the capital caused much alarm in many quarters. The Townsend bill for the establishment of a post-road and interstate highway system, and the creation of a federal highway commission, has been introduced in the Senate, and hearings on it are to be held soon. This measure differs from the original Townsend bill in several particulars, and it recognizes the federal aid principle, but with reservations. A bill said to be designed to carry out President Harding's desires for the curbing of demands from executive departments for deficiency appropriations has been introduced in the House. It would create a board, in which the chairman of the House and Senate appropriations committee would sit, to pass on applications for deficiency appropriations before they could be transmitted to Congress. Between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 pounds of wool will be sold by the War Department at public auction to be held in Boston about May 20, Secretary Weeks has announced. Additional sales may be authorized if the first are satisfactory to reduce the 80,000,000 pounds the army has on nand. The Interstate Commerce Commission has granted the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific Railway Company in Montana permission to increase its passenger and excess baggage rates to the level in effect in interstate commerce tariffs to be filed upon five days' notice. The carrier is an electric road and on that account was omitted from the last rate order issued by the commission. William H. Stevenson, vice director of the experiment station of the Iowa State Agricultural College, has been named permanent delegation of the United States to the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, the Department of Agriculture announced. The appointment fills the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dean T. F. Hunt, president of the California State Agricultural College. Twenty million acres of arid lands in the West could be reclaimed under the McNary bill to develop homesteading projects through federal aid, E. F. Blaine of Seattle, chairman of the Western States Reclamation Association, testified before the Senate irrigation committee. The bill would provide a fund of $250,000,000 from which interest bearing loans would be made to reclamation associations. Former service men would be given preference in the acquisition of the reclaimed lands. Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado (Restern Newspaper Union News Service.) Rodents, mainly prairie dogs, Wyoming ground squirrels, and pocket gophers are exterminated by poisoning and this work, also, is done by Biological Survey experts in co-operation with forest rangers. Robert B. Wolf was re-elected president of the Colorado Springs school board, L. M. Hunt elected vice president and Thomas J. Fox and Samuel J. Giles re-elected secretary and treasurer, respectively. Grand valley, Colorado, stands out as virtually the only fruit district in the United States that promises a full crop this year, according to the official report of the American Railway Development Association, made public by W. H. Olin, supervisor of agriculture of the Denver & Rio Grande. The sewing club girls of Penrose, who are starting with their first year's work, are each taking a budget for the purchase of their hair ribbons, stockings and handkerchiefs. In addition to their sewing work, the girls will have specific instructions in the care of these three articles and will be held responsible by their mothers for the purchase of the articles for the year and for the care of them. Two hundred and thirty forest officers are scattered over the fifteen national forests of Colorado and they know the thirteen million acres of forest land intimately. One ranger will know that there are three wolf dens on his district, another has seen lion tracks in two widely separated places, and this knowledge will be invaluable in maping the locations of these killers of livestock. Sugar beets are now being used by bootleggers in the manufacture of liquor. Sheriff Wilson of Delta county, captured a large still at Hotchkiss recently in which sugar beets were being used instead of corn or the other ingredients commonly used by distillers. An auto radiator was also being used for the condensation of the booze. The still was of thirty-gallon capacity. Two men were captured in the raid. Three thousand two hundred and eight sheep and fifty-four cattle were killed on the forest ranges of Colorado alone during 1920. Wolves, coyotes and mountain lions were mainly responsible for this slaughter. The U. S. Biological Survey plans to employ constantly in the district at least four or five expert lion hunting outfits, and two or three wolf hunters of proven ability, according to word received by District Forester Allen S. Peck. Pueblo's airplane landing field adjoining the state fair grounds, and ideal for the purpose, is offered the United States War Department for the accommodation of three planes from the government field at Sacramento, Calif., to be sent across the country to map war airplane routes. The planes are to make the cross-country trip the latter pare of May or early in June, according to a communication from Maj. B. M. Atkinson, commandant at Sacramento. Burned beyond recognition in less than a minute, little 4-year-old Ernest Nelavec was a victim of playing with matches at Salida. The little fellow was playing near an old wagon containing some hay. He had picked up a match somewhere and proceeded to set fire to the hay. His screams attracted his mother, Mrs. Tony Nelavec. She rushed around the hay-filled wagon and grabbed the suffocated and terribly burned boy from the fire, but too late. He gasped his last in his mother's arms. The Hayden school board has selected Charles A. Stoddard, at present principal of the community school at Easton, Ill., for school superintendent for the coming year. Mr. Stoddard is a graduate of Knox College of Galesburg, Ill. He served in the air service of the government for twenty-two months, of which seventeen months were spent in France and Germany. Peter Mettunef, 32 years old, a shoemaker of Telluride, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a shoemaker's knife at the top of a thirty-foot telephone pole he climbed, and then plunging head foremost to the ground. Mettunef's skull was fractured and he died six hours later. A score of persons watched Mettunuf's attempt to kill himself but were powerless to restrain him. The country population of Colorado has been increasing for the last twenty years, although the per cent of the population that is from the country has not increased all the time. The rural population of Colorado in 1900 was 202,839; in 1910, 297,427; in 1920, 373,868. In 1900, 39 per cent of the people of Colorado lived in the country; in 1910, 37 per cent; and in 1920, 39 per cent. Tobe J. Guess of Norwood, well-known ditch rider, was critically injured when part of the bank of a ditch in which he was working caved in. Guess and young Berry were working in a private irrigation ditch, when both sides of the ditch suddenly caved in. A huge boulder pinned Guess to the bottom of the ditch, while he was buried under a pile of dirt. Berry went four miles to get assistance. A jack was used to extricate Guess, who was rushed to a hospital at Telluride. Physicians declare he will live, although it will be necessary to amputate one leg. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Such reports as had been received by the State Irrigation Department from county assessors up to May 1 seem to indicate that there will be no appreciable decrease in acreage under cultivation in Colorado this year, though earlier reports from other sources indicated that the cultivated acreage would be materially decreased on account of inability on the part of farmers to obtain needed financial support. Reports have been received from something more than 2,500 farmers and the total of theses reports show a larger amount of land under cultivation than the total shown by the first 2,500 reports received last year. Increases in cultivated acreage are indicated for Kiowa, Bace and Las Animas counties, while most of the other counties from which partial reports have been received show little indications of changes from last year. Contrary to the expectation of many persons well informed on agricultural subjects, there apparently will be an increase in the acreage of spring wheat as compared with last year. A few of the less developed counties in eastern Colorado show increases in acreage of winter wheat as compared with last year. A few of the less developed counties in eastern Colorado show increases in acreage of winter wheat, but apparently there is a decrease in the principal winter wheat districts, though most of these same districts are showing increases in acreage of spring wheat. Preliminary reports from the census for 1920 show that the average size of farms in Colorado is 408.1 acres, compared with 293.1 acres in 1910. This increase has been going on steadily for several years and is due to several causes, chiefly which are as follows: Most of the homesteads that have been filed on in the state in the past four years have been from 320 to 640 acres. During the past five or six years many farmers in the non-irrigated districts have been increasing the size of their farms by purchasing adjoining land. In the leading fruit growing districts there has been a tendency for at least eight years to consolidate small fruit farms into larger farming units. Many small farm units in certain sections of the San Luis valley also have been consolidated into larger farms within the past three years. A number of large tracts reported as single farms in 1910 have been broken up into smaller farms since that time, but the effect of this has not been nearly sufficient to counteract the tendencies toward larger farms as outlined above. "Over 10,000,000 head of stock will be permitted to graze on the national forests of the United States during 1921," according to District Forester Allen S. Peck, who quotes the grazing allowance schedule recently received from the secretary of agriculture. This includes cattle, horses, sheep, goats and swine on 143 national forests in twenty-seven states. Colorado, with her fifteen national forests, including over 13,000,000 acres of land provides range for over 20 per cent of these meat animals. In exact figures 571,605 cattle and horses, 3,100 swine and 1,625,835 sheep and goats will be permitted to graze on the forests of Colorado this year. Homesteaders, ranchers, prospectors, campers, etc., are allowed to graze a few head of milk cows and work horses free. These are in addition to the foregoing figures and amount to about 8,800 head. Nearly 2,200 people are benefited by this free use of the range in Colorado. Harry E. McIntyre, the 19-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. McIntyre, and West Wilsey Smith, the 6-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy B. Smith, whose average of 99.5 tied in the better baby contest held at Colorado Springs during child welfare week, will each receive a gold medal for the highest score. Since the contest each one has been measured over again, with the result that neither lost a point upon closer examination. J. W. Rainey of Greeley has taken up his duties at Fort Collins as the new secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. At a special meeting of the board of directors of the chamber Thursday noon Mr. Rainey was selected from a large number of candidates for the position to succeed O. J. Watrous, who has resigned. Mr. Rainey, who is a civil engineer, was assistant city engineer at Greeley for two years, associated with City Engineer R. W. Gelder. For the protection of property owners in East Pueblo, whose land has been enraged upon by the Fountain river, the channel of the stream is being changed. Beginning near Fifteenth feet in street, a channel fifteen to twenty feet in width and several feet deep is being dug, which will extend 1,000 feet in length, and will so change the course of the river as to save further damage. Two hundred and ninety young people will be graduated from the Pueblo two high schools on June 2. Central high school will graduate forty boys and forty-five girls, and the Centennial school class consists of a similar number of boys and girls. Pedro Vigil, 60 years old, well-to-do owner of a ranch eleven miles southwest of Monte Vista, was almost instantly killed by his son, Francisco G. Vigil. The boy had but recently been discharged from the state hospital for the insane at Pueblo. The boy disappeared from the ranch home. The father went in search of him, and while the father was looking through a field glass the son slipped up behind him and struck him down with a club. The boy is being held for trial in the District Court on the charge of first degree murder. A. HASER, Prop.

HE ELECTORS of Denver are preparing for next Tuesday when they Te argay themselves with the Power of the franchise and elect nine councilmen, an auditor and ait election commissioner, also giving thelr approval or disapproval to seven charter amendments, three initiated bills ‘and two referred ordinances which will be placed on the ballot. Relative to the amendments we can trust to the Intelligence of the people who have followed the reform movements. Of the charter amendments, the most far-reaching in its effect. if carried, is the amendment making most ‘of the city offices elective and-depriving the mayor of many of his powers. ‘This amendment also provides for the creation of a Public Utilities Commis- sion and the reduction of water rents. ‘Again we say that the men for council must be qualified and that thor- oughlf, If they are to be real representatives of the people; they must take a stand against every bill that has for its purpose any un-American feature, resolving to engage their best powers of reasoning to advance the interests of the citizens of Denver, No man having any selfish purposes to serve, or intending to be on the order of a lackey, ean be of that public service to warrant anything good or successful, and voters should exercise the utmost care Jn making their choice next ‘Tuesday. Following closely the actions of the present council, the people are in a better. position to know the responsibility resting upon the shoulders of a councilman, and therefore the idea of supporting or voting for a candidate for {rjendship sake or some ulterior motive must be thrust aside, and a larger view—the benefit and advantage of a city and its people—taken if our city government must be run successfully. Use the franchise conscientiously, electing the men that will stand by us when we are assailed and assaulted as a race, and who will place a higher value/on their positions as representatives of the people, doing all they ean for the uplift of a city and its people rather than become the victims of the machinations of a few who claim themselves THE POWERS THAT BE. Go to the polls early on Tuesday, May 17, and vote for the candidates whose interests are identical with yours, and whom you can depend on to hear your grievance and faithfully represent you with fairness to all. SOMETHING IS BEING DONE. B are generally assailed with the oft-repeated expressions, “What are Wve doing?” “What have you done?’ How can you expect to win recognition, obtain better treatment, be reckoned with, if you continue playing the “scale of dependence,” and chanting in monotone the “Parasite’s Ode?) At last we ean with all courage, conscious of our ability to accomplish, this being the result of united action, cheerfully respond that we have re- solved to engage in all kinds of commercial activities, make provisions for ourselves along all lines so as to avoid the necessity of being further victim- ized on account of race, color, ete. and in the end restore ourselves to the position we oceupied when we were the chief contributors to the world’s civilization, and by our production and maritime trade opened up inter- commercial relationship in the Eastern Hemisphere, thereby giving birth to western advancement and supremacy in international affairs, Through the courtesy of the Universal Development and Loan Company, na Negro corporation of Washington, D.C., we are in possession of a booklet which gives the following information: “Acting in accord with the economic change in the status of the Negro-Americans, a corporation Known as the Universal Development and Loan Company, has acquired sixty-five acres of very valuable land reaching from the famous Sheriff Road on the north to the Chesapeake Beach Railroad tracks on the south, and rolling along from ihe Burville School at Division avenue on the east to Forty-ninth street on the west, in the northeast section of the District of Columbia, The corpora- tion was organized to develop this land and offer to the colored homeseekers the advantage of natural beauty accompanied by helpful assistance in the acquiring of respectable homes, This development company was incorpo- rated In the state of Delaware in 1918 by sixty of the most representative citizens in the District of Columbia. The property owned by them is abso- Jutely free from debt, The capitalization of $100,000 is divided into ten thousand shares having a par value of $10 each. At present the land under expert appraisement has a minimum yalue of $1,000 per acre. Besides the residential portion, the company purposes to erect and fully equip a pleasure park to be known as the Suburban Gardens, play grounds with everything for the comfort of the younger folks, picnic grounds, ete. The population of 125,000 colored citizens of Washington, many seeking homes, and those who desire a recreation park of the highest moral caliber will be the market from which the Universal Development and Loan Company proposes to draw. ‘Vhese sources assure a lucrative business. The president of the company Is Charles B. Lane, well-known reliable citizen, and our own Colorado product, John H, Paynter, is first vice president and chairman of the board of direc- tors; George Robinson, second vice president and chairman executive commit- tee, with W. W. Holman, secretary, and John A, Hyder, treasurer.” ‘The foregoing deserves commendation of the highest for such exhibition of grit and stamina among our people, and who would not feel a sense of pleasure and admiration for the determination on the part of our race to do ihings? What with the acquisition of lands and the erection of fine resi- dences, the possession of steamship lines, factories, laundries and general development along industrial lines, it can clearly be seen that we are deter- qined to ORGANIZE and POOL OUR RESOURCES for the benefit of our- selves and our children. THE COLORADO STATESMAN offers hearty congratulations and will do its best to promote the interests of this corporation, which augurs of everything for the betterment and improvement of us. We are quite sure many of our readers will take advantage of this offer and not allow such a snfe and sound investment to slip by, This is a start and a good evidence of what we can accomplish. What about the West? Have we men and brains? “Yes!” THEN GO TO IT! THE COMPETITOR—A LIVE WIRE ORGAN. HE RECEIPT of “The Competitor,” a national magazine edited and com- T piled by members of our race, is herein acknowledged, and the pleasure It affords us in welcoming this addition to the magazine department of the Journalistic field, finds an expression of approval and congratulatory senti- ment among those whom we have shown the work and who rejoice at such a Valuable acquisition to our literary tastes, In the May issue, cover page of blue, with a splendid portrait of Dr. Wal- ter G, Alexander, the first Negro to preside over the Assembly of New Jersey, we find a list of editors associnted with the editor-in-chief, Robt, L. Vann, and Walter E, Buchanan, managing editor, very creditable to the staff, as we fre familiar with thelr contribution to the Improvement of our people along literary lines, and any paper, magazine or periodical that Is fortunate-to have writers in the person of Hon, Emmett Scott, Eugene Jones and Alice Dunbar Nelson can begin to feal a very fair measure of success, Again we noticed SA Roster of the Colored Press" on the second page, which Is very serviceable, although not complete, as. the editor requests correction If found wrong in. any particular or if any publication is omitzed to so inform and the same will be inserted in succeeding Issues, ‘The editorial comments are weighty, and prove beyond a doubt the ability possessed by our people to handle.the momentous questions of the day with that depth of reasoning und calmness of spirit as to win recognition from pre- Judiced minds, and to merit the support as well as the plaudits of thelr race in their combat of the issues affecting our citizenship, our civie right and Iib- erty. The other articles are up-to-the-minute also and form a basis for very healthy, instructive reading, which is very beneficial, We always find pleas- ure In offering our commendation in the right direction, and therefore in wish* ‘ing a very successful career for “The Competitor,” we will do all in our power to foster its principles, standing by it while it champions the cause of RIGHT and keeping our mind clear to offer our corrections if the necessity arises.

Complete renovation of their home, with the latest additions for pastime and pleasure, contribute to the happiness of these two very desirable citizens of our community, and in wishing them continued happiness we hold them up to the youth as a good example of progressive citizenship. WALTER VERNELL, our popular and energetic postal clerk, who also served his country in a military capacity during the Spanish-American war, is the recent addition to the number of our home owners in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Vernell, who are real Denverites, have purchased a beautiful residence at Detroit street and Third avenue, and have the best wishes of their friends and acquaintances for continued success in their domestic felicity. PROFESSOR GEO, MORRISON and his full orchestra stepped into the limelight when they made a great impression on the white Elks at their entertainment last Saturday evening at the Elks' Home, Fourteenth and California streets. Compliments more than ordinary were offered, and it is said that the satisfaction given at this event registers this famous musical group with the Elks, and their services will be well utilized for forthcoming events. JOHN H. BRUSHWOOD arrived last Sunday from Idaho Springs, Colo., and is the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Bertha Jones, 2451 Lafayette street. Mr. Brushwood is also the father of John R.

WHITE CEL EBRATE FOURTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. A pretty little entertainment greeted fourteen of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. White last week when they celebrated their fourth anniversary of conjugal bliss at their magnificent home, 1402 Twenty-fourth avenue. The house was beautifully decorated with American Beauty roses and carnations which lent a charming aspect to the scene and seemingly competing with the season's latest fashionable creations worn by the ladies. The evening was spent in dancing, the music being furnished by a Weber Duo Art Pianola. Many useful gifts were presented Mr. and Mrs. White, the largest and most precious being a community silver set consisting of 155 pieces, the gift of her husband. Dainty refreshments were served and congratulations offered by the guests for continued happiness and long life for the host and his genial and loving companion. With reluctance the guests departed at the midnight hour, declaring this event one of the best they were privileged to attend. ARTHUR M. CAMPBELL, OVERSEAS VETERAN, BURIED LAST FRIDAY. Arthur M.

INSTALLED ADVISORY BOARD AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES—MOVED INTO LARGER QUARTERS, 2800 WELTON ST., TO ACCOMMODATE LARGE MEMBERSHIP. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League installed their members of the Honorable Advisory Board and Board of Trustees Thursday evening, April 28, in their old meeting place, which marked the last event in this hall. All elected members and ex-officio were present with the exception of a few, and the ceremony performed by the president was very impressive, each member renewing their allegiance to the principles of the organization. Owing to the increase in membership since the visit of Hon. Jas. Brooks, our former hall became congested and hence we have removed to new quarters, 2800 Welton street, above the grocery store. Meetings on first and third Tuesdays. Remember the membership drive, which calls for 200 by May 31, and the pooling of our resources for the maintenance of ourselves. The determination on the part of mothers and fathers to launch out for the purpose of securing for their children Equality, Liberty and Justice in this and every other country where they are found is an evidence that the pro-slavish germs are being eradicated from us, and our former spineless condition is giving way to real backbone spirit and action. Next meeting, Tuesday, May 17, Next meeting, Tuesday, May 17, when a large attendance is expected. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Three baseball teams have been organized among the boys and are now in the field; so that something is doing in the baseball line nearly every day in the week. The teams are doing splendid work, too, and bid fair to make a good record this season. Naturally all eyes are now beginning to turn towards the great annual Field Day and Outing of the Y, M, and the Y, W. on Decoration day, which will be held as usual at the Rocky Mountain lake. A great feature of the day will be the wonderful bicycle race which has been scheduled. This will be a new feature of the outing this year, and will no doubt attract large crowds. Already a large number of prizes are on hand, and will be on exhibition next week in the show window of the Atlas drug store. Entry blanks are now ready, and those wishing to take part should fill out their entries as soon as possible. The drum corps is making rapid progress. They had a great time last Tuesday evening, and for the first time their teacher took them on a long march. The music they made was good to listen to. They sounded like regular veterans, and all who heard them were proud of them. Forty-eight boys and men attended the swimming and gymnasium classes at the bath house on Wednesday evening. Secretary Townsend is greatly pleased with the progress they are making. Subscriptions to the budget fund have come in splendidly. Workers, however, have been greatly needed to assist in securing these subscriptions. The regular Sunday afternoon meeting will be held tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. Dr. S. A. Stripling, pastor of Scott Church, will be the speaker. His subject will be, "Observations on Negro Conditions in Oklahoma as Revealed by My Recent Trip to That State." The meeting will be opened to everybody, and it is hoped that will come out and hear the address. CARD OF THANKS.

Christian, Jr, is the next busiest. Moreover, Mr. Christian {sas im- portant us he is busy. Really, you know, there are few more Important Jobs in Washington than that of the secretary to the President. Some peo- ple xo so far as to say that the Pres- ident’s secretary is in reality a tore important official than any meniber of the cabinet. ‘They argue that ff the ex- ecutive departments were left without heads they would run along just ubbut the swine, whereas without a sec- rary a President could not get along, ajall, ‘This Is the kind of picturesque eShggeration that we Americans like ‘pecatse It Is mighty near the truth, Ailyway, the discriminating — reader will have noted that the press of the equntry gave Mr, Christian's appoint- iment quite us much space as It did some of the cabinet appointments. ‘Mr, Christian has been with Mr. Harding quite a long time—tong enough to have gotten well acquainted with his chief and to have proved his own abilities, As secretary to Senu- tor Harding, he had a ehanee to learn Washington, And he won hls spurs during the trying days of the campaign. ‘Whe President's secretary Is the mouthpiece of the President, When he speaks It is ex cathedra, If a com- tnunication Is to be made to the pub- lig on any subject not so finportant as to require a formal proclamation, It isithe secretary who utters It, usually through the mediuin of the newspa- pers. . Every letter that reaches the White House, is read und a rule requires that to everyone a courteous reply shull be made. A dozen clerks attend toythis business. They even read and answer the letters addressed to the Pfesident’s wife; for multitudes of strangers write to her also. Private letters. “recognized as such by a sort of instinct,” alone pass unopened. Mis future? That remains to be told. Many of the presidential secretaries graduated from the White House office to fame and riches. Simply “White House.” The official residence of the na tion's chief ts called In the Inws the President's house, and with this name much of the old silver and china be- longing to the establishment is marked. When Mr. Roosevelt arrived on the scene he found large stacks of, note-paper and letter-paper stamped with the words “Executive Mansion" —n title adopted by Mr, Cleveland who delighted in big words. “Throw out that junk!” said he to his secre. tary; and, by his direction, all of the stationery was thereafter headed sim ply “White House.” ‘Up to Mr, Roosevelt's time the busl- ness offices of the White House were in the mansion proper, directly over the East room, so that visitors came in at the front door and climbed a fight of stairs to reach them, Across the main corridor on the second floor was placed 1 sereen to shut off the offices from the private quarters of the Pres ident’s family. ‘The arrangement was certainly de plorable. Sofas along the walls of the corridor, into which the Prest- dent's own office opened directly, pro- vided seats for persons anxious to see him or his secretary, ‘The secre tary’s room adjoined that of the Pres. ident, and on the opposite side of the corridor were rooms for clerks and the telegraph room. Mr. Roosevelt tore the mansion lit- erally to pieces, spending for the pur- pose $555,000, or neurly twice as much money a it originally cost, As one result, the former office quarters in the White House are now five bed: rooms, and all executive business Is transacted in a small one-story unnex ‘a couple of hundred feet to the west , Fly's Wonderful Tongue. ‘The so-called tongue of the fly ts not truly a tongue, but a tube with au expanded end, which the scientists term a “ligula.” Through this ligula the fly obtains Its nourishment. The fly does not need to get down to Its food, but draws it upward by means of this trunk or proboscis, Nature recognized the fact that the insect bad many enemies and that {t must therefore take up in the shortest (of the main building, with whitey’ is connected by a terrace. Mr. Wilson, soon after he came to the White House. doubled the size of the business an nex, extending it over part of the ground which Mr, Roosevelt laid out as a tennis court. It was thus made far more coommodious; and the Pres- ident’s office, on the south side. Is a | large and sunny room, with 2 big bay window that looks toward the Wash- ington monument. His seclusion dure ing work hours {s as complete us could be desired. Made a $5,000 Job. ‘The secretury to the President was no more than @ head clerk In the ex- ecutive office up to Cleveland's first [sarniration But Cleveland brought with him as secretary a remarkable young man named Danlel S. Lamont, who had served him In a like enpacity in Albany. Lamont was a man of great natural ability and gifted with extraordinary tact. ‘The man who happened to hold the post of private secretary to a Presi. dent-elect is altogether likely to be appointed secretary after his chief has reached the White House. He pre: sumably enjoys the confidence of the new President, understands his ways and policies, is accustomed to the handling of his work, and is_person- ally acquainted with his friends. A heiper with this equipment, whose ett (oe is proved, cannot easily be re- placed. Mr. Cleveland was a man who was likely to ruffle people's feelings. La. mont was suave and pleasant-man: nered; he made things smooth, So popular did he become with the folk on Capitol Hill that they decided te give him a lift. He had been mere: ly “private seeretary,” with a modest salary of two thousand a year, ‘They created by legislation the office of sec. retary to the President, with pay at the rate of five thousand dollars. ‘The Job for the first time was made one of dignity and decent emolument Cleveland went congress one bette! and made Lamont secretary of war Incidentally, when Lamont retin. quished his place at the end of the first Cleveland administration, tt was with such a reputation that “big bust ness” welcomed him with — oper arms, and within a few years he was rated a multimillionaire. Edwin Denby, secretary of the navy married Marion Bartlett ‘Thurber daughter of President Cleveland's see retary. She was a member of th “White House” kindergarten of Cleve land’s day. George Bruce Cortelyou, after his college course, began life as a short hand reporter in New York in 188% After two years of this he was prin- possible Ume the food tt might dix cover. Wor that purpose the tongue is Htted at its free end with a curious pad-like modification of the ordinary tracheal structure, which has puzzied some of those who have studied its uses.

When he was fourth assistant post- master general he was called to. do some shorthand work for President Cleveland, who held on to him and mute him executive clerk. President MeKinley made him assistant secre- tary and then appointed him secretary, President Roosevelt made him his priv- ate secretary. Cortelyou made a most effielent see- relay Aion ot sive Gil graceful mamiér and gifted with exceptional tact, he was a born diplomat. It is said of him that he never refused janybody anything. Someone once called him “the great American prom ‘iser:” Even if the person calling ou him was a total stranger, he would ‘listen politely, write “specta!” on the [person's card aud indicate that the matter should receive fimmediate at- | tention. Anyway, Roosevelt liked him well enough to muke him a member of the cabinet, where he filled three places in quick succession: Secretary of com: merce and lubor, postmaster general und secretury of the treasury. Later, the erstwhile shorthand reporter ac- cepted a Job at $75,000 a year as head lof a big company, and today he ts au Important man in the world of fnance.

SENATORS AND REPRESENTA. TIVES BUSY FILLING THE HOPPER OF CONGRESS. NOTHING SEEMS OVERLOOKED President Harding Shows No Sym- pathy for General Amnesty Move- ment—Coinage of Roosevelt Two- Cent Piece Meets Opposition. a7 Swe Washington.—Up to the present writing senators and representatives have put Into the congressional hopper 8,500 bills, and they stil are going strong. ‘The first house measure to start on the rond to consideration was the bill of Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee, providing for a bo- nus for service men, with the alterna- tives of land settlements, Insurance, education and home building. This measure left out the proposition for taxation which appeared Inthe bill at the last session, Another measure, however, was introduced by Represen- tative Gallivan of Massachusetts, Democrat, which was a duplicate of the bill as it was passed by the house In the last congress. Every sort of human endeavor seems to be covered by the bills which have been presented. ‘There are meas- ures affecting the railroads, immigra- tlon, taxation, budget, banking and currency, coinage, the buying of Low- er California from Mexico, prohibition of so-called gambling in grain and ¢eot- ton, exemption of American vessels from Panama canal tolls, the with- drawal of American troops from the occupied area in Germany, to prohibit foreign language newspapers from printing anything in a foreign tongue unless the English translation accom panies it, and literally something more than three thousand and one other things. Senator France of Maryland is the father of a measure which looks to amnesty for many men now in prison for violations of the war-time laws. ‘The other day a bunch of amnestyites, whose endeavor It was to secure the pardon of all the too-free-talkers and the dodgers of military service who are imprisoned under the provisions of the law during the war, called on the President with a request that he open the cell doors. Harding Against General Amnesty. ‘The President apparently was not altogether amlably inclined toward the request. He declined to commit him- self to any course which would look toward a general jail delivery, but said that the case of each prisoner would be taken up by the Department of Justice separately and decided on its merits, If this is done {t means, of course, that some of the men now In prison for anti-American activities while thelr free brethren were fighting the Germans, will be compelled to re- main In durance for some time to come. One bill which has been Introduced into congress provides for the colnage of a 2-cent coin with Theodore Roose- yelt’s face upon it. ‘There has been what amounts almost to a propaganda In behalf of such a coln, but recently opposition has come to it from certain quarters. It seems that since the street car fares have advanced from the old nickel rate to six, seven or eight cents on some city and Interurban lines, coin boxes have been introduced which are so constructed that a 2- cent piece of the size prescribed will not slip into them. It is urged that these coin boxes cost much money which will be lost If the receptacles must be thrown onto the scrap heap. Railroad Problem Troublous, ‘The railroad problem is one which is vexing congress as it Is vexing the country. Senator Cummins has {ntro- duced a measure which calls for an investigation of the whole rallroad sit- uation in the United States, and it may be adopted. The President paid ‘considerable attention to the railroad matter in his message to congress. Phere are all kinds of charges and counter charges affecting the problem as It exists. The labor end of the controversy says the roads are not economically managed, and that If they were there would be no necessity of cutting down wages. ‘he railroad managers say economy Is the rule and that wages must come down. In the meantime high freight rates and high passenger rates are in effect, and the shipping and traveling public, as their views are voiced in congress, are de- manding that something be done. If there {s an Investigation under the provisions of the Cummins. reso- lution, the facts may be discovered and legislation or executive orders, i the latter are possible, may result which will straighten out the situa: tion. Edwards Heads Promotion List. Nothing has happened, not even the diplomatic semidenial which which came recently, to change the opinion that General Pershing 1s to be given the Job of looking after the reserve forces of the United States army, a work of building up and coalescing. It will be a big Job and one which even a ranking officer ‘of the United States army can under- known, comparatively few changes were made in the list as sent over by former President Wilson some tne ago. It was a foregone conclusion that Brig. Gen. Clarence Rt, Edwards would be noutnated as a major gen- eral. Edwards’ case has been dis- cussed too frequently to need much additional comment, As soon as the senate can act he will be confirmed, It is Jrony, and perhaps cruelty, that the promotion of Edwards will dis place one of his classmates and iife- long friends, Omar Bundy, who was named by Wilson for a place among the major generals, General Bundy, lke Edwards, has been a center of comment, discussion and dispute, He commanded a divi- sion In France and ater was relieved from his command. He hud # won- derful fighting record before the last war began and it was he who told the French generals who wanted him to order some of his men to fall back, that Americans did not know how to fall back, Bundy was praised and criticized alternately for this action. He {s an Indiana mane - May Be Governor of Porto Rico. What {8 going to be done with Ed- wards now that he has been made « major general of regulars? Some army men seem to think that he will retire voluntarily, He has had 40 years of service and can retire at gny time that he wishes. Others say vhat he will stick until the day that the law forces him to go out on the sixty- fourth anniversary of his birth. There is rumor that President Harding wants to make Edwards governor of Porto Rico. If this be true It may be that he will accept, for some of his friends say that he would like the Job. Maj. Gen, David C, Shanks Is the only man promoted to the rank of major general who did not see service overseas, but Shanks did a really tre- mendous work as chief of the port of embarkation at Hoboken. He tried hard enough to get overseas, but the, authorities would not Jet him go be- cause he was showing a perfect genius for the work which he had in hand. Rarring Edwards, the only new name on the list of promotions to the rank of major general Is that of George Bell, Jr. He commanded a division overseas and hé did good work. Moreover he has been in the active milltary service of his country ever since March, 1876, when he en- tered West Point as a cadet. Weeks Creates a Precedent. Secretary Weeks’ announcement that during the coming year when two retirements in the grade of major general occur, Brig. Gens. Charles J. Bailey and Samuel G. Sturgis will be promoted to fill them, came somewhat as a surprise, not because of the names of the fayored ones, but be- cause It {s against custom to tell men so long In advance tHat they are to be shoved up. However, there seems to be some wisdom in this, because It will stop log rolling on the part of friends of brigadier generals and will save the secretary of war from the importunities of men who know what they want. General Bailey will take the place of Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, who com- manded the Marne division (the Third) of the American army snd who later commanded the first corps in the Argonne, and later still the army of occupation. Dickman will retire In October. It may be that Secretary Weeks will recommend that Dickman, accounted by some military critics as the greatest American sol- dier who saw service on the other side, be promoted to the grade of Meutenant general on retirement or perhaps before.

It Is Not Too Early to Begin Planning to Dry and Can Some of Your Garden Crop—The Photograph Shows Suitable Equipment for Canning and Some of the Attractive Results. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) It is particularly desirable to can or dry the fruits and vegetables raised on the farm, as the raw products can be gathered and treated when absolutely fresh and at just the proper stage of ripeness and tenderness for best results. The average farm family probably can annually more than 150 quarts of fruits and vegetables, the greater part of which is fruit. Canning clubs have been instrumental in stimulating interest in canning on the farm. The drying of fruits and vegetables, an old farm art until recently on the decline, has been revived quite generally within the past two years. This process offers a good means of preserving perishables without entailing expense for containers, as in canning. PLENTY OF MILK HELPS CHILDREN Provides Needed Supply of Protein for Building Up Muscles and Body Tissues. ALSO CONTAINS MUCH LIME Assists Child to Grow, to Keep Well and to Build Up a Strong, Vigorous Body—Clean Whole Milk Most Desirable. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) If a child is below its proper weight after it reaches the age of twelve, the chances are much against its ever becoming normal, child specialists say; yet several million American children—some put the number at 5,000,000—are below weight today. Recent surveys made in different parts of the United States, both in the city and in the country, disclose the fact that 10 to 30 per cent of the school children in each community surveyed weigh at least 10 per cent less than they should. Epidemics find these underweight children easy victims, and large numbers die from contagious diseases each year, that might have lived if their bodies had been in normal condition when they were exposed to the contagion. Not Quantity, but Kind, of Food. It is not a question of the amount of food provided for the American child who is undernourished, but of the kind, as the proportion in the families of the well-to-do is about as large as that in the poorer districts. An effort is now being made by various agencies to teach children and their parents the kind of food that should be given children; and the success that is attending the effort is encouraging. The thing stressed most in these campaigns is that children must have plenty of milk. Give an abundance of that food, and you have gone a long way in giving a child his chance for health. A quart of milk a day for every child is not too much, say nutrition specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, for milk helps a child to grow, to keep well, and to build up a strong, vigorous body. Milk, being a liquid, is sometimes classed with water, tea, and coffee, simply as a beverage, by those who do not understand its value as food. This is a great mistake. If all the water were to be driven from a quart of tea or coffee, almost nothing would be left and the little that remained would have practically no value as food. If, on the other hand, the water were driven from a quart of whole milk, there would be left about half a cupful of the very best food substances, including butterfat, and a kind of sugar not so sweet as granulated -sugar and known as "milk sugar," together with other materials needed to make muscles, bones, teeth and other parts of the body. All these valuable food substances are ordinarily either dissolved or floating in the water of milk. Milk is also very important for providing the growth-promoting substance, or vitamin, called a fat-soluble. Apparently nothing can serve so well as milk, as a basis for the diet of a healthy child. Good whole milk is desirable, but if a mother is obliged to choose between clean milk and rich milk, she had better take the clean milk. Best of all, of course, is clean whole milk, but if that cannot be had it is better to use clean skim milk than dirty or questionable whole milk. A quart of skim milk, even separator skim milk, contains about a third of a cupful of solid food, which is nearly all there was in the whole milk, except the butterfat. In feeding skim milk, however, it is necessary to make up for the missing butterfat by giving the child plenty of butter to eat. If it is absolutely impossible to get fresh milk, then condensed, powdered, or evaporated milk may be used. Contains Much Lime. Compared with most other foods, milk contains much lime, but very little iron. Spinach and other green vegetables and egg yolks, on the other hand, are very rich in iron. This is A boy plays with a dog at a picnic table. Even at Picnic Parties Milk Is an Important Item. one reason why combinations of egg yolks and milk and of vegetables and milk should be given a child. When milk is given to babies the chill is usually taken from it, and it is safe to do this for all young children. When milk is used as a drink it should be slipped, not gulped down. FRUITS ARE OF IMPORTANCE Valuable Chieffly Because They Supply Growth-Stimulating and Body-Regulating Substances. The uses of fruits in the diet are much the same as those of green vegetables, though, unlike most vegetables, they have a considerable percentage of sugar, especially when they are dried, and sugar is a quickly absorbed fuel food. Like vegetables, they have value because they contribute some of the nitrogen required for tissue building and repair, and some energy, food specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say. However, they are valuable chiefly because they supply growth-stimulating and body-regulating substances and also mineral matter needed for bone and for many other purposes. The quantity of these materials in fruits and vegetables is small, it is true, but large in comparison with the amount in many other common foods. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Waffles should be cooked over a slow fire. The red kidney bean is good baked just as soup beans are baked. Immature meat, such as veal, lamb and pork, should be thoroughly cooked. Never grease a pie plate; good pastry greases its own tin. The Kitchen Cabinet The Kitchen Cabinet (© 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) What poets feel not, when they make A pleasure in creating. The world, in its turn, will not take Pleasure in contemplating. ONE-PIECE DISHES. A few dishes which may be prepared, baked and served from the baking dish will be greatly appre- clated these spring days when extra work is crowding. C Potatoes and Bacon, Country Style.-Slice potatoes lengthwise and very thin. Put a layer of potatoes in a baking dish or casserole, add a sliced onion, salt and pepper, then a layer of thinly sliced bacon. Repeat the layers, having the bacon on top. Do not add any liquid, and see that the bacon is well spread so that the fat will season the dish well. Cover tightly and bake one hour in a moderate oven. Baked Stew.—Take one and one-half pounds of lean boiling beef, one-fourth pound of suet, six medium sized potatoes, three small onions and six small carrots, with a small bag of mixed spices. Wipe and cut the meat and vegetables as for stew. Fry the suet till all is rendered. Pour off the fat and add the meat and onion, fry until brown, remove and add the potatoes, fry them and add the carrots. Put all into a casserole, add a generous sprinkling of flour, and salt with the bag of spice, bake two hours in a moderate oven. Remove the spice and serve from the casserole. Baked Hamburger and Spaghetti.—Macaroni may be used in place of spaghetti in almost all dishes. Take a package of spaghetti, cook in boiling salted water, drain, add one can of tomatoes, five or six medium sized onions, chopped, one and one-half pounds of hamburger, fried in two tablespoonfuls of sweet fat. Stir and season all until well mixed, then bake for half an hour in a moderate oven. Roast Beef With Yorkshire Pudding.—Roast the beef as usual, basting often. Mix two cupfuls of flour, one-half teapoonful of salt, two cupfuls of milk and three well-benefit eggs; beat well and turn into well-greased pans, filling half full and basting with the gravy from the roast, after the pudding has finished rising. Serve around the roast as a garnish. Apricot Dainty. — Take one-half pound of dried apricots, cook until tender. Mash and add enough sugar to sweeten. Add one cupful of minced marshmallows and let them melt. Put into sherbet glasses and top with coconut, or chopped nuts. I hold you here, root and all in my hand. DESSERTS AND OTHER DISHES. A meal is never quite finished without something in the form of a des- sert. It may be a stuffed date or two, a bit of fruit or simple confection; omitted, the meal is unsatisfactory. COFFEE Bread Pudding. —Take one and one-half cupfuls of fine soft bread crumbs, measured lightly; one egg, beaten, one-fourth of a cupful of sugar; one-half teaspoonful of salt, two cupfuls of milk. Beat the sugar and salt into the beaten egg, add the milk and gradually stir into the crumbs. Let stand half an hour, then bake in a dish of hot water. Spaghetti de Luxe.—Take a small package or less of spaghetti, one can chicken soup, one can mushrooms, one shredded green pepper and one-fourth cupful of buttered crumbs. Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until tender, drain and blanch with cold water. Butter a baking dish, place in a layer of spaghetti, half of the mushrooms, and pepper and repeat until all are used. Cover with the can of chicken soup and sprinkle with buttered crumbs. Bake until brown. Apples Scalloped With Bananas.—Take two large apples sliced, two bananas sliced, sprinkle in layers with sugar and orange juice, dot with bits of butter and repeat; bake in a buttered dish forty minutes. Banana Float.—Take one pint of milk, two eggs, one tablespoonful of corpstarch, one-half cupful of sugar, salt, vinegar, two bananas and whipped cream. Mix the cornstarch with a little of the cold milk, scald the remaining portion, add the cornstarch mixture and cook over hot water for ten minutes. Beat the eggs slightly, add sugar, salt, to the egg mixture. Stir the milk into the egg and return the custard to a double boiler and cook until thick and smooth. Cool, flavor and pour over two large ripe bananas cut in slices. Chill, and just before serving decorate with tiny floating islands of whipped cream and banana slices.

There is no salad so well liked as a crisp green lettuce with a good high ly-seasoned salad dressing. Kidney Bean Salad. Cut one bunch of celery into small pieces, add one large onion, also cut fine ten small sweet pickles cut in small pieces and one can of kidney beans Kidney Bean Salad. Cut one bunch of celery into small pieces,add one large onion,also cut fine, ten small sweet pickles cut in small pieces and one can of kidney beans. Serve with the following dressing: One-half cupful each of vinegar and sugar, one egg beaten well, teaspoonful of mustard mixed with one-half teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of cayenne; mix and cook together until thick. Banana Delight Salad.—Take one-half pound box of marshmallows, one cupful of whipping cream, five bananas. Whip the cream, add the bananas sliced and the marshmallows cut in quarters; a few tablespoonfuls of diced pineapple is an improvement and if the marshmallows are soaked for an hour in pineapple juice the flavor is greatly improved. This salad may be served on head lettuce garnished with a cherry. Egyptian Salad.—Cut firm, ripe tomatoes in halves, having as many as there are people to serve. Remove the pulp and put into a mixing bowl with equal parts of chopped cabbage and one-half the amount of chopped celery. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Mix the ingredients and fill the halves of the tomatoes, after mixing well with a good mayonnaise. Serve on lettuce. Pear Salad.—Take halves of canned pears, arrange on head lettuce and garnish with balls of cream cheese seasoned with chopped pimentos. Make a dressing of the pear juice, a good oil and a seasoning of vinegar, salt and pinch of sugar. A salad which may be used on potato, lettuce, or in fact almost any salad mixture is Thousand Isle dressing, using any chopped vegetable in a mayonnaise dressing. So many Gods, so many creeds, So many ways that wind and wind While just the art of being kind 's all this sad world needs. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. A small piece of round steak if put through the meat grinder will, when added to pofatoes, make a good sustaining dish for three of four portions. To a cupful of the ground meat take four medium-sized potatoes, put them added to potatoes, make a good sustaining dish for three of four portions. To a cupful of the ground meat take four medium-sized potatoes, put them through the meat grinder with one small onion or with a portion of fresh green pepper, if the onion is not liked. Cook in a frying pan with a small piece of suet, or add a tablespoonful or two of beef fat to the hot frying pan and turn in the chopped potatoes; season well with salt and pepper, stir and cook until nearly done, then add the meat well seasoned and cover; cook until the potatoes seem well done. Brown on the bottom, turn and brown, then roll out on a hot platter like an omelet. Garnish with parsley. This dish is satisfying and attractive. Salmon Omelet.—Beat six eggs thoroughly, add six tablespoonfuls of milk, mixed with one tablespoonful of flour, salt, pepper and onion salt to taste. Have a half-pound can of salmon well flaked, with skin and bones removed. To this add twelve chopped, stuffed olives, salt, paprika and onion salt. Mix and turn into a well-buttered, hot omelet pan. Cook until well done underneath, then finish on the upper rack of the oven. Serve on a hot platter. Casserole of Rice and Meat.—Cook two-thirds of a cupful of rice with a teaspoonful of salt in three cupfuls of boiling water. Line a casserole or baking dish with the cooked rice. Take two or three cupfuls of ground meat seasoned to taste and softened with gravy. Fill the lined dish with the meat to an inch from the top and cover with a layer of rice. Bake in a moderate oven one-half hour. Serve hot. Waldorf Salad.—Take one cupful of chopped nuts, two cupfuls of chopped apples, two cupfuls of celery cut in bits, one small onion; mix and serve on leaf lettuce after mixing with mayonnaise. Chocolate Bavarian Cream. — Soak one-eighth of a box of gelatine in one-eighth cupful of cold water. Grate one-half ounce of chocolate; melt and add to gelatine one-half cupful of milk, three-eighths cupful of sugar; cook until smooth. Add when cool and thick one-half cupful of whipped cream. Pour into molds and chill. Flavor with vanilla and add a little salt. Nellie Maxwell FIRST CLASS MEALS SERVED HOME COOKING Phone Main 4843 J. GIBSON SMIT Art Dealer J.

NEWS Funeral services were held at the African Methodist Church Sunday afternoon, May 1, for Alice, 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Gaskin. Rev. Mr. Endicott conducted the services, describing the beautiful character of the little girl whose life so unexpectedly was terminated by an accident, and extending to her family a message of divine consolation. There were many very beautiful floral offerings. Prior to the funeral ceremony the remains lay in state at the Early-Bricker Brothers' Mortuary. Interment was made at Lakeview cemetery. Alice Lillian Gaskin was born on February 18, 1910, in Cheyenne, Wyo. Died April 27, 1921, at the age of 11 years 2 months and 9 days. She was a beautiful character and a loving daughter and sister, ever ready to give mother a helping hand. She was a member of the Sunday School of Allen Chapel, and a pupil of the Sixth grade, Corlett School. She was loved by all of the teachers of school as well as her classmates. Knowing her was loving her. She leaves to mourn her loss a loving mother and father, five sisters and one brother and a host of relatives and friends.
