THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY LYNCHING AND DEBT SLAVERY PREVALENT IN THE SOUTH When Lynchings Occur, Ban on Negro Prosperity, Where Lynchings Occur, Class Rule and Cause. (By WILLIAM PICKENS.) VOL. XXVII. LYNCHING AND DEE PREVALUE When Lynchings Occur, Bane Lynchings Occur, C (By WILLIAM A SEARCHING attack on the system of debt-slavery in the South today as the cause of lynching and mob violence has just been published in pamphlet form by the American Civil Liberties Union, with headquarters in New York City. The statements and conclusions of the author, William Pickens, field secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, are endorsed by the Civil Liberties Union, which declares in an introduction that "in the South today no man, white or black, is really free publicly to speak the truth about the race problem. We believe this pamphlet to be the essential truth. We have consulted Southern white men and women who tell us privately that it is the truth." Roger N. Baldwin, a director of the Union, pointed out the economic causes of the recent Tulsa mob violence as just another demonstration of the truth of the general proposition. Among the striking statements made by Mr. Pickens in the pamphlet are these: "Lynching and mob violence are only methods of economic repression. Lynching is most prevalent where Negro labor is most exploited; and the spread of mob violence against colored people has followed the spread of this exploitation. It is either due directly to efforts of the exploiting class to repress the Negro, or it is the indirect resettment of the laborers of other racial groups against the exploitation of Negro labor to his disadvantage. This is the difference between Georgia and East St. Louis Where Lynchings Occur. "It is instructive to note where most lynchings take place. In thirty years the seven states which led in lynching are in the order of their evil eminence: Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. Along with Alabama, Georgia and Texas, therefore, we have the great southern Mississippi valley, a region which might be termed 'the American Congo.' "The quest of this Congo is not for rubber and ivory, but for cotton and sugar. Here labor is forced, and the laborer is a slave. The slavery is a cunningly contrived debt slavery to give the appearance of civilization and the sanction of law. A debt of a few hundred dollars may tie a black man and his family of ten as securely in bondage to a great white planter as if he had purchased their bodies. "The only way for this debt-slave to get free from such a master is to get some one else to pay his debt; that is, to sell himself to another, with added charges, expenses of moving and bonuses. By this method the enslaver gets his bondsmen cheaper than in a regular slave system, for in the debt system he does not have to pay the full market price of a man. "This is the system that obtains in the great Mississippi valley, and it has not been modified for thirty years or more. The evil of this system is responsible for all of the massacres of colored people and for nearly all of the horrible lynchings and burnings of individual Negroes that have lately taken place in this region. "If we examine any, even the most If we examine it complicated, of these 'race' troubles, we will find some economic wrong at the bottom some trouble about wages or work or property. The existence side by side of two races, one powerful and the other weak, simply lends greater opportunity and freer play to human greed and social injustice. "It is therefore intelligible that when race riots break out, especially in the South, the prosperous and well-do colored men who own business and property, the really most worthwhile' members of their race, are the ones most likely to be forced to leave the community. They may be compelled to abandon all their property post-haste to get away with their lives, and not being allowed to return, they must sell out at a great loss. Sometimes when these colored families are in a position to offer some defiance to the mob, the officers of the law will take a hand, because as 'the law' they can dare more than the mob. A 'committee of prominent citizens,' sometimes including the mayor or the chief of police or the sheriff, will call on the colored men and warn him to leave, either openly exposing the cause of the mob or declaring their inability to restrain the mob. "When a colored family is thus driven out or exterminated, prominent mention is always made of their 'prosperity' as an indirect emphasis on their general offensiveness. Rape and Lynching. "One of the most successful illusions in the history of human relations is the opinion that the extraordinary disposition to lynch Negroes in the United States is due to some extraordinary tendency of the men of that race to commit rape. We call this illusion successful because it is actually believed by many, if not by most, white people. But facts and evidence point in the opposite direction—that Africans and their descendants are exceptionally uninclined to this particular violence. "The appeal has been wonderfully successful. It is an old ruse of the oppressor. He must find a motive that will justify him in the moral sentiments of his people. "But it should be noted that in the United States the most awful slaughter and lynchings of colored persons in the last few years have not been occasioned by any matter of sex; the massacre at East St. Louis (Ill.) in 1917; the multiple lynchings of Brooks and Lowndes counties (Ga.) in 1918; the Chicago riots in 1919; the Elaine (Ark.) massacre in 1919, and the burning of Henry Lowry at Nodena (Ark.) in 1921." Class Rule the Cause. "Most of the lynching evil is traceable to economic wrong. There is a conviction that the Negro as a class is to be kept under in human society; that when a black man works and sweats, it is not primarily for his own good but for the good of the dominant race in America. This is class-feeling. It is the offspring of the slave system. If the Negro attempts to rise above this condition, he is sinning against God and must be repressed sternly and DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 2 1921 religiously. The Negro who by thrift and hard work rises above this preconceived status, becomes an offender like one who is seeking to violate the sanctions of a religion. "There must be a change in this attitude toward colored Americans before we can be free from lynching. Government and law can do much but they cannot do everything as a remedy. The notion that God made the Negro for the benefit of anybody else must be wiped out." The Civil Liberties Union states that the reports which come to its office from all over the country show that there is an increasing tendency in Southern industrial centers for white workers to make common cause with colored. The Union asserts that "civil rights in the South can be won in fact only by the united efforts of both black and white workers in the struggle against industrial exploitation." WOODLAND, CAL., NEWS. The Second Baptist Church, Closed Kingdom Conference rally program Sunday night with $506.65. Captain A. E. Bardain of Club No. 1, $253.35; Captain Miss M. Logan, Queen Esther's Club, $253.30. Bardain ran out 5 cents ahead. Some race! The captains declare that they will raise the $000—$300 each, as they anticipated in the beginning of the rally. So the race is still on. Pastor Muse says he will give them until July 17 to raise the $93.35, which would be $46.65 for one and $46.70 for the other. We believe that they will raise it. The program arranged by Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse was known as the Kingdom Conference, and it lasted for a week. Seven different churches were represented on the program, four white churches and three colored churches. On Sunday the church had free dinner. There were about 119 persons of both white and colored that enjoyed the big free dinner. Rev. and Mrs. Muse expect to take their vacation some time in July and will take in Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Fresno, Long Beach, Pasadena and other points in southern California. They expect to be gone about thirty days and will make the tour by auto, covering something over a thousand miles. It will be quite a trip for them, as they deserve it. They have worked quite hard and have accomplished great good since coming to Woodland about eighteen months ago. Miss Sadie Clay of Esparto, Cal., has returned after two weeks' visit with friends here. Mr. William Ramus has purchased a fine team of draft horses. Mr. O. H. Earl has purchased a fine seven-passenger Stubaker automobile. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Clay of Esparto will be visitors in Woodland pretty soon. San Diego, Calif.—Madame Azalie Hackley has suffered a nervous breakdown and is critically ill. She succumbed to the attack while alone at her apartment and falling unconscious remained unattended for several hours without attention, before discovered. Her serious condition occasioned much alarm at first and is still a cause of much concern, though at this time much improved. Mrs. Hackley, who has a national reputation as a musician and has become noted for her organizations of community choruses, had lately come to San Diego and was making plans for organization of such a chorus here.—New Age. CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS ON Wednesday the wives, sweet-hearts, and friends turned out enmasse to a surprise in honor of members of Frontier Lodge No. 2S5, I. P. B. O. E. W., which was one of the largest affairs of its kind ever given in the city. The ladies were given a cordial welcome by Exalted Ruler John Baker, and every one present was made to feel at home. Much credit is due Mrs. Nellie Frazier, who managed the entire affair. Rerfreshments were served in abundance to all present and everybody had an enjoyable time.

This was the first time our mayor and commissioners allowed such to be conducted on the grounds. We are proud of the sincere brotherhood which prevails among the officers and members of Elk Lodge No. 285. The goodfellowship and courteous demeanor of these young men towards each other is inspiring. Grand Matron Mrs. Gertrude Clark was a guest of Wyoming chapter No. 62 on Tuesday evening. Refreshments were served. Mrs. Clark was presented with a bouquet of American Beauties by an admiring citizen. GIRL'S BROTHER KILLS CRACK ER SWEETHEART. * Memphis, Tenn., June 24.—The efforts of Ernest Thomas (white), age 27, Monday afternoon to force his sweetheart, Engenia Stokes, to accompany him back to his plantation, near Lake Comorant, Miss., were resented by Henry Hill, brother of the girl, and as a result Thomas is dead and Hill is in jail here. The Stokes girl admitted to police that when she was employed as a cook by young Thomas and his father that the young white man had been her lover and had repeatedly threatened her life if she ever attempted to escape from the plantation and his attentions. Following the flight of the girl, for months Thomas has been seeking her whereabouts. Sunday one of Thomas' plantation hands is reported having told him that the girl was in Memphis. Monday morning Thomas left home after telling his father he had to come here to see his physician. Instead of seeing his doctor Thomas proceeded to the Stokes home on Essex avenue and was surprised by the girl's brother, whom the young white man is reported to have attacked. Hill defended himself with the only weapon handy, an ax. Calmly walk- MILITARY CENSORSHIP RE-ESTABLISHED OVER HAITIAN PRESS IS CHARGE. Haitian Authors of Memorial to Congress Appeal to American People. An appeal to the American people was published here today by the Haitian authors of the memorial to Congress, who assert that a rigorous press censorship has been re-established in Port-au-Prince by Col. John H. Russel, who, they assert, has imprisoned two editors and forbidden Haitian newspapers to publish American newspaper comments on the recently published memorial. The appeal to the American people, which is signed by H. Pauleus Sannon, former minister of foreign affairs of Haiti; Stenio Vincent, former president of the Haitian Senate; and Perceval Thoby, former Haitian charge d'affaires at Washington, was given out at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, and is as follows: "A new attack upon the liberties of the Haitian people has been perpetrated by Col. John H. Russell, commanding the marines at Port-au-Prince. According to the latest reports and newspapers from Haiti, Colonel Russell issued on May 26 last a military order suppressing freedom of speech and of the press. "The order translated from the French is as follows: "ORDER OF THE DAY. "Although, in principle, there is no restriction upon liberty of the press and of speech, nevertheless the writings and speeches of an incendiary nature, or which tend to cast discredit on the forces of the United States in Haiti, or which tend to incite the people against the functionaries of the United States who are giving aid and assistance to the Haitian government, or writings and speeches attacking the person of the President of Haiti or the government of Haiti are prohibited. "All contravention of the present order will be brought before a military tribunal. (Signed) "JOHN H. RUSSELL, "Colonel, U. S. Marine Corps, Commanding First Brigade, U. S. Marines and United States Forces Ashore in Haiti." "Subsequent to this, two Haitian journalists, M. Jollibois and M. Lanoue, were arrested. A third, M. Thoaud, is being sought. "It is because the Haitian newspapers protested against brutality, crime and un-American suppression that the new order was promulgated. Under such an order the marines can with impunity continue to terrorize the Haitian people." "This situation is a return to the oppression which we had to endure during the first five years of American occupation in Haiti. The delegates ing to a near-by grocery store he had the proprietor phone the police. A Mississippi mob phoned the local police they were coming to lynch Hill, but upon learning that extra police had been provided with riot guns and that the local race men had decided there was to be no lynching the mob changed its mind. 1038 to the American people of the Patriotic Union of Haiti appeal to all fair-minded Americans to insist on knowing the facts of the violence and oppression which are being perpetrated in their name by United States forces in the Haitian republic. "EL PAULEUS SANNON, "STENIO VINCENT, "PERCEVAL THOBY." N. A. A. C. P. WINS RESPITE FOR CONDEMNED MEN IN ARKANSAS. THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that a respite had been obtained in the cases of the six colored men sentenced to die on June 10 for their alleged connection with the Arkansas riots. Unsuccessful appeals were made to Governor Thomas C. McRae to grant a stay of execution pending the result of the trials of the other six men in the Phillips County Court. Two days before the date set for the execution of Frank Hicks and five others, attorneys for the N. A. A. C. P. applied for a writ in the Pulaski Chancery Court restraining the state of Arkansas from putting the death sentence into execution. The writ was granted by Chancellor Martineau and a restraining order was served upon the warden at the penitentiary preventing the execution, pending further action by the court. On June 8 the national office received the following telegram from Little Rock, Ark.: "Petition for habeas corpus filed Chancery Court which stays execution (Signed) Scipio A. Jones." Meanwhile a writ of prohibition was applied for by the authorities in the Arkansas State Supreme Court, dissolving this last defense of the condemned men. The national office of the N. A. A. C. P. immediately telegraphed its attorneys, suggesting that they apply in the federal court for a writ of habeas corpus to prevent the execution. On June 21 the national office received the following telegram from Little Rock, signed Scipio A. Jones: "No imminent danger electrocution. Possible writ here from Arkansas Supreme Court to Supreme Court United States, habeas corpus in Federal Court. Date of execution not named by governor. Change of venue granted. Trial October." It is possible that the cases will be carried, on a writ of error, to the Supreme Court of the United States. In the case of Ed Ware and the other five defendants whose convictions have been twice reversed by the State Supreme Court, attorneys for the N. A. A. C. P. immediately applied for a change of venue, when the cases were brought to trial for the third time in the Phillips County Circuit Court early in May, on the ground that prejudice against the defendants in Phillips County would prevent obtaining a fair and impartial trial. The judge reserved decision for six weeks on the motion for a change of venue, when, in the usual course of procedure, a decision is rendered in three or four days. No reason is known for unusual action. The telegram from Scipio A. Jones confirms that the change of venue has at last been granted and that the men will be tried at the October term of the court.

TAFT IS NAMED CHIEF JUSTICE FIRST TO HOLD HIGHEST OFFICE IN BOTH EXECUTIVE AND JUDICIAL BRANCHES. CONFIRM NOMINATION SENATE ACTS FAVORABLY ON SUPREME BENCH APPOINTMENT. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington, July 1.—Former President William Howard Taft was nominated by President Harding to be chief justice of the United States, and his nomination was confirmed by the Senate in executive session. Senators Borah and Johnson led the fight on the floor in opposition to Mr. Taft, while he was defended by about a dozen senators, including Knox of Pennsylvania, Kellogg of Minnesota and Willis of Ohio, Republicans, and Underwood of Alabama, minority leader; Smith of South Carolina, Overman of North Carolina and Broussard of Louisiana, Democrats. Mr. Taft is the first man in the nation's history to be chosen for the highest office in both the executive and judicial branches of the government. For more than thirty years prior to his retirement from the presidency in 1913 he had been almost constantly in the public service. Throughout all of his public career, a hope that he might some day become chief justice is said by Mr. Taft's close friends to have been the aspiration nearest his heart. It is said that he always has felt himself better fitted by temperament to serve in the judiciary than in the executive branch of the government, and that when in 1910, fortune brought him the opportunity to appoint a chief justice he would gladly have changed places with the man he selected and now succeeds. When he was secretary of war under Roosevelt he is said to have been offered a choice between remaining in the cabinet and taking a vacancy on the court, an alternative which caused him many hours of anxious consideration. As President it later became Mr. Taft's duty not only to choose a chief justice, but to make five other appointments to the highest court. Of the men he selected, only two, Justices Vandevanter and Pitney, remain to serve with him on the bench. Although he came to the presidency as a citizen of Ohio, Mr. Taft now is selected chief justice as a citizen of Connecticut. Soon after he left the White House he made New Haven his legal residence, accepting a position he still holds as professor of international law at Yale University, from which he was graduated in 1878. Mr. Taft prepared for the practice of law at the Cincinnati Law School, where he was graduated two years later. Montreal.—"It his been the ambition of my life, to be chief justice," William H. Taft declared, "but now that it is gratified I tremble to think whether I can worthily fill the position and be useful to the country. I am profoundly grateful to the President for the confidence he has thus shown that I can discharge the important duties of the exalted office. I sincerely hope and pray that I may be able to show that his confidence has not been misplaced. I highly appreciate the immediate confirmation by the Senate." Negro Hanged in Mississippi. Jackson, Miss.—Red Bilbro, a negro farmhand, has been lynched by a mob in Madison county, twenty miles north of here. F. M. Pace, on whose farm Bilbro was a tenant, was brought to Jackson and placed in a hospital with his throat cut and skull fractured. Pace had quarreled with the negro. While Pace was at work Bilbro is alleged to have hit him over the head with a spade and cut his throat. The unconscious man was then found by the negro's wife and Bilbro escaped, only to be caught later by a posse. $3,100,000 for Soldier Hospitals. Washington. — Approval by the Treasury Department of the construction of soldiers' homes of five hospitals for the care of former service men suffering from tuberculosis has been announced by Secretary Mellon. The new buildings will cost $3,100,000. The Battle Mountain sanatorium at Hot Springs, S. D., will be equipped for 100 patients, and the Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth, Kan., for 200. The other projects are to go to Milwaukee, Dayton and Marion, Ind. State Cement Plant Declared Legal. Pierre, S. D.—The legality of the state-owned cement plant was upheld when the Supreme Court denied a writ of prohibition sought by Edwin K. Eakin to prohibit the sale of bonds by the Cement Commission. The court held that cement and its products were commodities necessary to the people of the state, and that its manufacture, distribution and sale by the state will tend to promote the public welfare and secure equality of economic opportunity.

Woman suffrage advocates of Havana, Cuba, lost their fight in the Senate, which defeated a provision of the constitutional reform bill giving Congress the right to determine under what conditions women would be allowed to vote. Another motion, giving women unrestricted suffrage by striking out the word "male" from the constitutional provision defining who shall vote, was also defeated. Great Britain has asked Japan for a three months' delay in renewing the alliance. The reason advanced in a note asking the postponement was that the conference of the British premiers is just beginning to consider the question. Britain, it said, desires the premiers shall reach a decision before a new treaty is signed. No mention was made of the American attitude toward the alliance. Proposal of Premier Lloyd George for a conference in London on the Irish question between representatives of southern and northern Ireland and the British government is impossible of acceptance in its present form. This declaration is made by Eamonn de Valera, the Irish Republican leader, to Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, in reply to Sir James' notification that he cannot meet Mr. De Valera in a preliminary conference in Dublin. Official American participation in the Rio de Janeiro in 1922 in celebration of International exposition, to be held at the centennial of Brazilian independence has been recommended to Congress by President Harding and Secretary Hughes. A message by the secretary of state, transmitted by the President with his indorsement, said the American ambassador at Rio de Janeiro had been advised that Japan and Belgium had intimated their intention of participating and that Great Britain and other European governments undoubtedly would take part also.

According to the authorities, there were indications that eleven may have been the victims of foul play, and a non-committal verdict was returned by the coroner's jury. Charges that the packers kept their percentage of profit down to 1.5 in 1920 by charging losses on inventory against the year's earnings, when they should have been charged against surplus, were made before Judge Samuel Alschuler of Chicago, arbiter of packing house wages. The wage cut of 5 cents an hour asked by the packers would only serve to increase their profits without benefiting producer or consumer, employés declared. With the vote of the railway shopmen overwhelmingly opposed to acceptance of a wage reduction from 85 to 77 cents an hour, as ordered by the United States Railway Labor Board, railway circles are apprehensive that the nation may be confronted with a serious railroad crisis within a fortnight. Joseph Lindgren, automobile mechanic, was sentenced to from one year to life imprisonment in Chicago, after pleading guilty to a charge of recklessly driving an automobile which killed Mrs. Eugenia Cooly on April 3d. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) WESTERN In recognition of the perspicacity and skill displayed by this astute detective in clearing up the Denton mystery, Mayor-elect George E. Crye has appointed Charles A. Jones chief of police of Los Angeles. Detective Jones has accepted the post and succeeds Lyle Pendegast as chief. Ralph Groves, former California state prohibition director, has been sentenced to one year in the county jail; F. Ray Groves, his brother, and former secretary of the Democratic state central committee, was fined $2,500, and George C. Groves, another brother, was fined $500 in the United States District Court of Los Angeles, following their pleas of guilty to conspiracy to violate the prohibition enforcement law. Gov. Charles R. Mabey of Utah, who has returned to Salt Lake from a trip to San Juan county, where he held a "pow-wow" with Indians relative to clashes between Plutes and white setters recently, said the Indian spokesmen had agreed to observe the white men's laws, and would surrender for trial two members of the tribe, who were recently arrested and who escaped from jail while being held on charges involving attacks on settlers. Word reached Eureka, Calif., that a sixteen-foot octopus was killed at Samoa, Humboldt county, recently after it had seized in its tentacles 8-year-old George Peterson, son of a Eureka tug captain. According to the reports, the boy was standing in shallow water at the beach while two older sisters were paddling about in a boat. When the octopus attacked the boy his screams alarmed the girls and they attacked the sea monster with their oars. Two men have been arrested on manslaughter charges in connection with the death in San Francisco of Lim Lip Chung, Chinaman, from a beating received after he had accidentally jostled against a party of men and women in a downtown street, the police declared. The attack on Lim Lip Chung occurred after he had apologized and turned away from the party, the police said. He died at a hospital of a fractured skull and other injuries. WASHINGTON Establishment in New York of an international banking institution to be known as "The Bank of Nations," with $2,000,000,000 capital, to act as the fiscal agent of the United States and such other governments as might be admitted as stockholders, is proposed in a bill introduced by Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Nebraska. Representative Hardy of Colorado has introduced a bill to postpone the increase in the rates of postage, effective July 1, 1921, on publications entered as second-class matter under clause 4 of subdivision B of section 1101 of the revenue act of 1917. The bill provides for an investigation of postal costs and postal rates on publications entered as second class matter. Giving assurance to businessmen of the country that there will be no delay in the enactment of a revised tax law at this session of Congress Representative Fordney of Michigan, chairman of the House ways and means committee, has announced that hearings would be begun by the committee soon after the middle of July. Acceptance of German bonds as substitutes for the obligations of European nations debtor to the United States is not at present contemplated by the treasury, Secretary Mellon told the Senate finance committee in urging favorable action on the administration bill to enable the refunding of the $11,000,000,000 which Europe owes the United States. A billion dollar cut in government expenditures during the year beginning July 1 is the hope of the Harding administration. Congress has appropriated about $4,000,000,000 for the year beginning July 1. By putting the new federal budget into operation immediately instead of waiting a year as originally planned, President Harding and Charles G. Dawes, budget director, hope to make a 25 per cent saving. The fight among the prohibition leaders over the supplementary enforcement legislation ended when Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, yielded to the advocates of a straight anti-prescription beer bill without any of the other tightening up enforcements amendments proposed by Representative Volstead. Woodrow Wilson appeared in person in the chamber of Chief Justice McCoy of the District of Columbia Supreme Court to be admitted to the practice of law in that court. Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado The name and fame of the Rev. Ben Zersen, Fort Morgan's "wrestling preacher," have filtered into the camps of the movie stars with the result that he has left Fort Morgan for California to play the leading part in a picture. Because his parents were unable to find a physician and were ignorant of home remedy methods, Clyde Schmeeckle, 2-year-old son of William Schmeeckle, a farmer living three miles east of New Raymer, died of rattlesnake bite. Edward McConnell, 35 years old, prosperous farmer and owner of a 2-100-acre ranch thirty miles southwest of Colorado Springs, Colo., has been arrested by Federal Dry Agents John R, Smith and Fred Mangold on liquor violation charges. He was released on bond. Colorado Game and Fish Protective Association has launched a campaign for 10,000 members before Aug. 1 and is offering prizes for those who bring in the largest number of members. There are $1.50 and $1 memberships, and women are eligible to membership and to compete for the prizes. Stalled on a railroad track near Fort Morgan, the automobile of L. E. Jeffery of Brush was completely demolished by a freight train. Mr. Jeffery, his wife and baby saved their lives by leaping from the machine when they saw the train, traveling at a high rate of speed, bearing down on them. The Apple Mercantile Company's store building and cream station, the Kitzmiller drug store, a large ice house, the building and printing office of the Tribune, and Woods Brothers building were all destroyed by fire recently at Eckley, Colo. The total loss is estimated at more than $75,000. Farmers residing in the vicinity of the eastern edge of El Paso county were compelled to work in shifts in the fight which was waged to eradicate the hordes of grasshoppers which held waste farm land and threatened destruction of many acres of valuable crops. Trenches, twenty miles long, were dug in many places by the farmers. The separate maintenance suit of Mrs. Mabel Grinnell against Leslie N. Maupin of Boulder was dismissed by Judge Neil F. Graham in the District Court upon presentation of a stipulation that a satisfactory adjustment had been made. This action was taken several hours after Judge Graham had granted Mrs. Grinnell $12 a month alimony and $75 attorney fees. Another link has been added to the Durango-Silverton highway, which, although completed last year, has never officially been declared open. The highway will be known as the Durango-Silverton-Ouray highway, it being decided to include the former famous toll road between Silverton and Ouray as part of the highway. This route will permit tourists to travel through the most scenic part of the United States. Thirty-two cavalry horses to serve as mounts for Troop B of the Colorado National Guard cavalry have arrived in Denver from the government remount station at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, according to an announcement by Capt. R. H. Jancke, the commanding officer of the troop. The horses, which are said to represent the finest type of cavalry mount, are all of the same color, a deep bay, and Troop B will be known henceforth as the "bay horse troop," Captain Jancke said. Registration at the University of Colorado closed with 1,973 students enrolled for the first term, which will close July 20. The second term will open the following day and continues for a period of six weeks. Many of the present students are expected to stop at the end of the first term, and new ones will undoubtedly enter, as many inquiries have been received. The dam at Marshall lake will not be rebuilt for the present at least, according to A. J. Shaw, receiver of the Farmers' Reservoir and Irrigation Company, owners of the structure. "Inasmuch as the dam is safe for the present," said Mr. Shaw, "and because we believe it to be to the interests of the farmers, whose lands we irrigate, the water will not be drawn out." Melvin Hill Smith, 23 years old, the grandson and heir of Eben Smith, pioneer mining man of Colorado, was killed recently when a machine he was driving crashed into a stone pillar on a Los Angeles street. Jack H. Abbott, a Los Angeles patrolman, riding with Smith, also met death in the accident, and a girl companion of Abbott, Jeanette Brunault, 18 years old, was seriously injured. Admission by officials of the Colorado New Beer Manufacturing Company of Pueblo that 259 barrels of beer had been manufactured and sold by the concern in the past four months was followed by a revocation of the government permits enabling the company to operate as a near beer brewery. William Rattz, who confessed in the District Court at Fort Collins to stealing a saddle valued at $65 in the Log Cabin district recently, was sentenced by Judge George Bradfield to from two to four years in the penitentiary. In spite of damage caused by floods the past month reports from county assessors to the State Immigration Department indicate that the acreage devoted to wheat this year is the largest in the history of Colorado. These reports are about 85 per cent completed, and indications are that wheat production will break all Colorado records. Nearly 200,000 more acres have been planted to winter wheat this year than ever before. However, there has been a falling off in the acreage devoted to spring wheat. To date this year, 310,000 acres of spring wheat has been reported. This compares with 335,000 acres in 1920. Sheriff Francis L. Hampton of Moffat county is authority for the statement that there is no sheep war impending in Moffat county or on the Colorado-Utah line so far as he can ascertain, despite wild reports to the contrary. According to Sheriff Hampton, the "sheep war" reports being circulated resulted from the refusal of honestenders and ranchers and cattlemen in a section of country eighteen miles south of Craig refusing to allow a small bunch of sheep to pass over their holdings to the reserve west of them. The threatened invasion of El Paso county by a grasshopper army moving northwest from the southeastern corner has been averted, according to J. C. Hale, county agent. The grasshoppers descended on the county recently and it was only through the hardest sort of work that the pest was stopped according to Hale, who declared that farmers in the community worked day and night in their efforts to head off the grasshoppers. Poison bran and arsenic were used in the battle against the insects. It cost the state of Colorado $28,000 to pay the salaries of National Guardsmen on duty in the Pueblo flood district, according to pay roll figures compiled in the office of Adjt. Gen Patriek Hamrock. "Voucners for the pay of guardsmen to the extent of $27.500 have already been drawn," said Colonel Hamrock in discussing the expense of guarding the flooded city, "and when the pay rolls for the last contingent of troops are completed, the total will run slightly over $28,000." Pueblo county property owners, who suffered financial losses during the flood early this month, will receive a reduction in their tax for 1921, according to an announcement made in Denver by C. P. Link, member of the State Tax Commission. Mr. Link has just completed a detailed survey of the actual damage done in the county He places the total loss at $111,000,000. A tax levy on this property will be reduced five-twelfths of the original assessment, the state official announced. Weld county will produce 5,000,000 bushels of wheat this year, judging from present indications. Figures compiled by the field men of the county assessor show that there are 165,000 acres planted to wheat in the county this year. Because of the large amount of moisture the yield will be from thirty to fifty bushels on the nonirrigated land as well as in the irrigated districts. There are 56,000 acres of wheat on the irrigated farms and about 109,000 on the dry land. Airplane patrol for the detection of forest fires in the Pike's Peak region around Colorado Springs, Colo., has been permanently established, according to an agreement entered into by the government and the Western Aircraft Company of Colorado Springs. Colorado College receives $100,000 by the terms of the will left by the late Henry Roger Wolcott, one of Colorado's pioneer mining men, whose estate totals more than $600,000, according to a petition filed in the County Court in Denver. Plans are being made to make the Moffat County Fair at Maybell, Sept. 9-10, one of the best affairs in that part of the state. John P. Keith, a D. & R. G. freight conductor, was killed when his touring car plunged over the embankment on Eighth street, Pueblo, where the flood of June 3 carried away the long bridge spanning the stream. Sixty-five thousand dollars of federal funds will be spent on the Rocky Mountain National park projects during the fiscal year beginning July 1. This sum exceeds by $55,000 any fund ever before appropriated by Congress for use on these playgrounds. Rider Herrickstad, 6 years old, son of Ole Herrickstad, was killed almost instantly by an automobile on a street crossing one of the main streets of Akron recently. Lights blinded the boy and caused the accident. Pete Smith, a well-to-do bachelor-farmer, about 40 years old, was shot by another farmer, George Lammers, also well-to-do, southeast of Sedgwick near the Phillips county line. Smith is thought to be insane. A young man giving his name as Harry P. Coffin and asserting he is the son of George Coffin, head of the Coffin Packing Company of Denver, is in the El Paso county jail in Colorado Springs, charged with forgery. Dr. Livingston Farrand, president of the University of Colorado from 1914 to 1919 and one of the directors of the national activities of the Red Cross during and after the war, has been elected president of Cornell University, it is announced in dispatches from Ithaca, N. Y. Dr. Farrand will succeed Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, recently appointed minister to China. Carpenters' Union No. 55 of Denver has accepted the wage reduction of $1 a day ordered by the State Industrial Commission in an award issued March 26 last. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

BEGINNING this week, THE COLORADO STATESMAN inaugurates a new feature. With a desire to meet the wants of the people, and to place before the reading public more advantageously than heretofore the salient facts of our people's progress, both here and elsewhere, every Saturday we shall place our paper in all the hotels and public places, that ALL may have an opportunity to know the good things our people are doing as well as the bad. It is notorious that our daily papers find little space for ought but the criminal conduct. Their pages teem with the reports of brawls, gambling raids and such as serves to inflame the public mind. THE COLORADO STATESMAN believes that the truth about our people should be known. That the whole people should know of the material, mental and moral progress we are constantly making. This movement is not launched because it is expected to be a financial success, but because we feel it our bounden duty to do all within our power to help lighten "the black man's burden." In this work we ask for, and hope to receive the honest and hearty support of the best men and women of both races. Let us ALL work together to put the best work of our people before the public mind, to the obscuring of the criminal. To help in this work is your duty as well as ours. Bear this in mind and boost the efforts. AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY—ITS MEANING AND INFLUENCE TO THE NEGRO. THE celebration on July 4 of each succeeding year from the time we were capable of understanding it, has always filled us with a sense of gladness mingled with more than a tinge of sadness, when although by virtue of our right of citizenship by honorable and legitimate birth in this country, and willing to participate with the greatest freedom of what is termed the "American spirit," in celebrating the glorious achievements of this great country and nation, we find ourselves woefully mistaken, groping in the dark, making a false step, building on the sand, when by word and deed we are informed in no uncertain terms THAT THIS IS A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY, and we, having by mere accident or incident, been accorded the right of citizenship, may join in the celebration of events marking the milestones along which the nation has traveled, and be thankful for the mercy or the kindness offered to us in being permitted to remain hene. Celebrating a birthday anniversary, wedding, founding of an institution, organization or the launching of a propaganda, can only be effective when all the participants share to the fullest the joys attendant with the event. When one feels the effect of such a celebration, nothing but joy enanates from his heart, and his soul, responding to the pleasure thereof, shares in that happiness which neither tongue nor pen can describe. Because of this, the members of the Negro family, believing that they ought to join in the commemoration of Independence Day, in concert with their fellow white citizens, have always considered its meaning as applied to them, and entertaining the principles involved in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, would go along year after year, joyous in the hope that they would gradually acquire the knowledge of the doctrine of independence, looking forward to the day when they would merit the recognition given other races and win the admiration of the world in their struggle for liberty. But, alas! with the great experience that we have gotten from the numerous incidents that have forced themselves upon us, in which prejudice, discrimination, ruin and death in all its ghastly phases have been borne, we have come to the realization that the meaning of this anniversary can be better understood by the people who live undisturbed and unmolested in this "land of freedom." The influence it has, therefore, upon us, provides a longing for something—that something which is uppermost in our thoughts and which makes us cry out in tones that can be distinctly heard: "When! oh when shall we be permitted to enjoy Independence Day in its reality—the blessings of the free?" But remembering the adage of "the ill wind," etc., we are pursuing a course that, even though it may be termed the passive resistance, will sooner or later send its conviction to the hearts of the dominant racial power in this country, and upon his conversion will compel "the right about face," making him yield to the dictates of his conscience, to the demand of reason, to the constant worrying of his very soul, so that common justice, equal civil right and the privileges of full citizenship in continuous rebellion with him will drive him to despair, and in his desperation let him unlock the door and bid us enter into the full, free and uninterrupted enjoyment of A PERMANENT INDEPENDENCE. THE O. P. BAUR CONFECTIONERY CO. Established 1872 Caterers and Confectioners 1512 Curtis Street, Denver, Colo. "Undoubtedly the United States Is the Most Moral Nation on Earth, But—" By PROF. C. A. BEARD, New School for Social Research Undoubtedly, the United States is the most moral nation on earth; but when compared with nations of approximately equal civilization, its criminal statistics are appalling. We have more rigid standards of propriety than any people of Europe. We have much more moral legislation, and the police departments of a hundred cities work overtime in order to make all sorts of sins impossible. But careful reports prove there are more murders in one second-rate American city, like Chicago, than there are in all England and Wales; and as for burglary—well burglary insurance costs Undoubtedly, the United States is the most moral nation on earth; but when compared with nations of approximately equal civilization, its criminal statistics are appalling. We have more rigid standards of propriety than any people of Europe. We have much more moral legislation, and the police departments of a hundred cities work overtime in order to make all sorts of sins impossible. But careful reports prove there are more murders in one second-rate American city, like Chicago, than there are in all England and Wales; and as for burglary—well burglary insurance costs approximately fifteen times as much in American cities as it does in European cities of the same class. Americans are an unruly lot. Historically, they always have been. We begin our independence with revolution, and incorrigible individualism is the very warp and woof of American tradition. After the Revolution, American history was very largely the story of the extension of the western frontier. This was a continuous tale of Indian wars, of gunplay, of settling all scores between man and man. "May the best man win" is a cardinal point in our national faith; and right up to the present time Americans have never been known as overfastidious in their recognition of success. And the history of America, since the frontier was annihilated and it became necessary to live as a settled community, has not been so altogether different. Socially, America has never been settled. The social frontier is still open to all comers, and it is our proudest American boast that this is so. But in no country in the history of the world have there been such comers. By natural selection thousands of these immigrants have been individualistic, for had they been of the staid, settled and conformist type, they would not have emigrated. What would you expect to be the percentage of crime in such a country? Don't you think it would be about all that the traffic would bear? Well, it is, and it always has been. And any attempt to fix the entire blame upon the laxity of some particular police department in some particular city will not get us very far toward correcting the situation. "The Trend of Women Toward Men's Occupations and Psychology" Whether the trend of women toward men's occupations and psychology will be bad for the race depends on how far it goes. The ideal race is one in which women have about 40 per cent of the man in them; the men about 40 per cent of the woman in them. The man who is 100 per cent male is a brute, a hunter, harsh, uninspired, elemental. He has no regard for beauty, or art, or culture. He makes war at the slightest provocation, and wages the war of the jungle. He needs to be ripened, mellowed, civilized, balanced by the feminine gifts of sympathy, intuition, social grace, imagination, desire for beauty and art. The 100 per cent female is a useless, soft, clinging, incompetent creature, characterless, spineless, ill adapted to bear the hardships and complexities of motherhood. She lacks initiative, courage, strength, endurance. She gains immeasurably by an admixture of man in her character. Imagine an evolution in which woman so approached man in character that she realized what some misguided women are aiming at—"perfect equality." What Health Means—and the Importance of Playgrounds to Children We sometimes assume that freedom from disease or physical defects means health, but this is only one part of the story. There are thousands and thousands of children and adults that are not really ill and have no serious physical defects, but have only energy enough to drag themselves through life, to exist physically. They do not have a reserve force to meet the emergencies of life or to accomplish the things that are most worth while. They are destined to become ill from time to time and in most cases to be a serious burden to society. In order to prevent disease and physical defects and to promote right habits of living, which play such an important part in building up robust health, we must start with the children and devote more time to health education. And while I will concede that the teaching of hygiene is necessary, the need of playgrounds far overshadows it in importance. Health is gained in the out-of-door air and sunshine, and all the theoretical hygiene in the world will not produce strong bodies. People Fall in Love Because It Is the Natural Thing for Them to Do. By DR. H. H. BRITAN, Bates College The principal reason why people fall in love is because they are so constituted, both physically and mentally, that it is the normal, the natural thing to do. There is not one formula for arousing love. Just as anger or fear, for example, may excite by a wide variety of circumstances and conditions, so love is capable of being awakened by stimuli equally diverse. After 30, the sediment of prolonged experience has settled over the instinct and often so solidified that toy tools will seldom suffice to break through to the emotion-bearing paleozoic stratum of human nature. After this age, fallling in love is no longer a matter of instinct. Common sense, good judgment, a truer perspective of life, tend to discount the enthusiasm and exaggerations of love's young dream and demand a firmer basis for the happiness to be won.

Several of the mem- bers of the Democratic national com- mittce were in Washington during the meeting of the rival brotherhood. The Democrats have for their committee a “near new" leader in George White, who has been In office less than a year. ‘The first prize to be won is that of the congressional elections one year from neat November, The two sets of contestants promise to press. for: ward in the race, In one way things tuvor the Democratic entrants, because they can lose and yet win, No poll- ticki or any party here believes that the Republican majority In the Sixty- eighth congress will be ds big as the Republican majority in the Sixty-sey- enth congress, now doing business at the old stand on Capitol hill, John 'T. Adams probably hus no U: lusions or delusions.

More Work for the Chairmen, ‘The responsibility of a national com mittee chairman, Republean or Dent veratic, bas been Inereased materially within the past few years, He is held accountable now to a great ex- tent, almost to the fullest extent, for victory or defeat in the congression- al elections, Some years age, in the Republican party certainly, the con- xrexsional committee largely had to conduct the eampaigns for the elec: tion of representatives, and wns comn- pelled to take the blame for defeat if it came, Now the congressional committees and the so-called senatorial commit- tees of both parties which are charged with the work of electing senators work with and really under the diree- tion of the chairmen of the national committees, although perhaps the di rect leadership of the greater chair men is not openly acknowledged, So far as one can determine, the con- gressional committees in the last cam paign barely turned a hand in’ the work of the election of members of the house. The senatorial committees did work, In truth all the campaign labors so far as the Republican party was concerned, and largely in the case of the Democratic party alse, wer: conlesced, and the laborers were di rected from national committee bead- quarters to ge-forth Into “the fields. ‘The members of the Demoeratic na- tional committee have been watching the meeting of the Republican nation: al committee, and are taking note of its outcomes, George White has new fdeas and some new men, Democrats’ Publicity Chief. For instance, there is now a new ehlef of publicity, information and propaganda in the person of Riehard Linthicum, whom many Western news: paper men will remember well, He was for years connected In both ex. ecutive and writing capacities with the Chicago Journal, the Chicaga Chronicle and the Chicago Times-Her- ald, He Is a seasoned newspaper mao, a Democrat with his heart in his De- mocracy, and he knows how to work, Linthicum in recent years was con nected with the New York World. Kellogg Urges Yorktown Park, Senator Frank B. Kellogg of Min- nésota bas introduced a bill In congress for an appropriation — of $100,000 with which to purchase and to mesntain as a national military park the site of the battlefield of Yorktown, Va, the scene of the surrender of Gen eral Cornwailis to Generat Washing- ton, a surrender that virtually ended the struggle of the American colonies for their independence. On the introduction of the bill Sen- ator Kellogg said that there are sia or seven government reservations com: memorating the battlefields of the Clv- il war, but that there is only one sueb ‘reservation marked by a battle of the Revolutionary war—that at Guilford Court House, N, C.

Incident of Forty Years Ago. Once the Frenchmen and the Ger- mans came to Virgini« shores in thelr grent ships and there wns trouble, It was at Yorktown forty years ago next October that the Frenchmen and Germans quarreted first with the Amers ican authorities and then with each other, It was the Americans’ fault, probably, In the first’ instance, but they committed the offense unwitting ly and made amends when they could. The trouble was thnt te zaaking amends they patched up the German pride while wounding that of the French still more sorely. ‘The Germans were inyited to take a hand In the celebration of the centen- nit of the surrender of Cornwallis because of the part Baron Steuben bore in the struggle of the Americans for their liberties. ‘There were no Germans, so far as is known, at the battle of Yorktown, where the French bore a herole part in the fight; nev- ertheless, at the Instance of Horatio Seymour of New York, the German nation was given @ principal share In the commemoration exercises in the villuge and harbor of Yorktown. It Horatio Seymour were lving today he probably would be sorry that he interfered in behalf of the Germans at that celebration, Here and there in Yorktown are substantial old dwelling of the colo- niu} period, ‘They will outlast many buildings of a later day for they were founded on the rock of honest construction. One old place has tow- ering chimneys that, with the rest of the house, have a time-weary look, but dissolution is not In sight because the builders builded well, ‘This Is the Thomas Nelson house, and for a time Cornwillis made It his headquarters, a fact which cume to the knowledge of the owner, who was with Washing- ‘ton In the ranks of the beslegers, Col. Nelson Shelled His Own House. Colonel Nelson went to the com- mander in chief and told him that the British general was in his house, and that if the guns could be brought to bear with the residence as a mark Cornwallis might be crushed under the falling walls if there was a good heavy gun tnarksman in the American army. ‘They tell you today in Yorktown that Colonel Nelson told his chief that he would sacrifice fifty homesteads if he owned them to put Cornwallis on the hospital ist, The American gunners fired away at the walls of the Nelson house and hit them three or four times. Corn- wallis was there, but it did not take chim long to learn the drift of the ‘shooting, and he took refuge In ‘eave under a parapet of brick work ‘and sand, and there he lay sufely. Knowledge of the change of headquar- ters enme to Washington and the mouths of the old smooth-bore cannon were turned away from the Nelson residence, which today bears the marks of the firing.

George Washlag: ton memorial building, also to be known as the Vietory Memorial building, which is to be ereeted here at a cost of several millions of dol- lars. Representative Julius Kahn, chatr- man of the house committee on mil- itary affairs, hus seen tit to set forth the intent of congress in the matter of the memorial building. He says the intent is that the auditorium in the building shall be available tor such conventions as are clyic, scien tific, educational, patriotic, and na- [tonal or international In character. | It Is now believed that the corner |stone for the great buildiims will be Haid on Armistice day, November 11. /and that Marshal Foch of the French [urmtey will be present in this city to ‘take part in the ceremontes, It Is also probable that Admiral Beatty of the British navy will be present, ‘The general and the admiral have been Invited by the municipal officials of Kansas City, Mo. to be present at the conyention of the members of he American Legion which will he held there the Inst week In October of ths year, General Foch tentatively has accepted the invitation and General “Bentty’s acceptance is expected. —-Mueh has been written about the Victory Memorial building.

BEST RECIPES FOR PREPARING DRIED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Dried Corn Keeps in Good Condition for a Long Time, If Good at the Beginning. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Even though they do not spoil, many dried vegetables which were delicious and attractive in every way during the first few weeks or months of storage, do not keep their color, flavor and cooking qualities indefinitely, but deteriorate gradually after a long period of storage. Even vegetables which are blanched before drying will deteriorate in much the same way, though more slowly, and blanching in salted water (1½ per cent solution) before drying constitutes a slight improvement over the common custom of drying without such treatment. dressing, or in a cream sauce flavors with onion or celery. Dried vegetables (after being boiled) may be served in the gravy with the pot roast or meat or vegetable casse role or in the sauce for the baked or boiled fish. They may be combine with each other or with other fresh vegetables, in "boiled dinner" or I chowders or casserole dishes of an kind. They may be used with rice macaroni or bread crumbs, in stuffed baked peppers or tomatoes or meat or fish; they may be combined in a moocmeat. Cooking the Dried Fruits. Dried fruits are usually given Household stocks of dried vegetables should not be held over from one year to the next for the reason they lose in quality. Indeed, it is the part of wisdom to use them early in the winter season, reserving canned goods for the late winter or early spring. The experimental kitchen in the United States Department of Agriculture has carried on a number of experiments with dried vegetables, and the work is being continued. A progress report is in order and some of the results arrived at to date follow: Dried corn is one of the vegetables which keeps in good condition for a long time, if good at the beginning. The peculiar flavor developed in dried green string beans is popular in many parts of the country. Dried soup mixtures deserve wide use, for the combination of such strong-Juiced vegetables as onions, carrots, cabbage and turnips will retain considerable flavor for a long time, even though the individual vegetables which compose it may have deteriorated somewhat in flavor when compared with the freshly dried vegetable. Preparing Dried Vegetable. Dried vegetables may be soaked from one to three hours in warm or cold water, and then cooked from 10 to 30 minutes (or longer, if necessary). Or they may be put at once, without any soaking, into boiling water, and then cooked slowly over the simmering flame for 20 to 40 minutes, or longer, if necessary. The length of time for which they must be cooked depends largely upon the condition of the fresh vegetable before it was dried. Large carrots, or white cabbage, even though cut into small pieces before drying, must be cooked longer than small carrots or green cabbage. The water added for soaking or cooking should be little more than what the vegetables will take up. To soak them in a large amount of water which is thrown away, then cook them in a fresh supply of water which also is thrown away, is to take the most thorough method which could be devised for extracting and discarding most of their nutritive constituents as well as most of their flavor. Three cupfuls of water to one cupful of vegetable is as good a general rule as can be given, but spinach and greens take half of that, being light for their volume. Long cooking demands a larger amount of water, because it boils away; but vegetables should not be cooked longer than is absolutely necessary, except in the making of purée. Particularly when the dried vegetables are put into boiling water without soaking, it is best to salt them toward the end of the cooking process rather than at the beginning. One cupful (measured dry) of most kinds of dried vegetables will serve two persons heartily, or three persons with moderate portions. nons with molds Dried vegetables may be used in the same way as fresh ones, while they are still in prime condition. When they begin to fall off in flavor they should be judiciously combined with other materials and have flavoring materials added to them. Dried sweet potatoes or carrots which have become rather flat when served with butter and salt only are more appetizing when glazed. To do this, bake them (after cooking tender by boiling) with a sauce of sugar or molasses or sirup, and fat. Dried spinach which has become a little flat will be liked if it is served with an egg and vinegar dressing, or in a cream sauce flavored with onion or celery. Dried vegetables (after being boiled) may be served in the gravy with the pot roast or meat or vegetable casserole or in the sauce for the baked or boiled fish. They may be combined with each other or with other fresh vegetables, in "boiled dinner" or in chowders or casserole dishes of any kind. They may be used with rice, macaroni or bread crumbs, in stuffing baked peppers or tomatoes or meat or fish; they may be combined in a mock mincemeat. Cooking the Dried Fruits Cooking the Dried Prunes Dried fruits are usually given a long, slow cooking in water below the boiling point. They may be soaked for a few hours, or they may be simply mashed and put directly into the warm water for cooking. The important point to be observed is not to soak or cook in too much water. The dried product can not be expected to have as much flavor as does the fresh; so all pains must be taken to dilute that flavor as little as possible. Most recipes for cooking dried prunes and apricots direct that two cupfuls of water be used to one cupful of fruit; but a better-flavored product will result, if equal measures of water and fruit be used, when the cooking is done slowly in a tightly covered vessel, so that little of the steam escapes. Dried fruits may be sweetened lightly (since they usually contain a good deal of sugar themselves) with sugar, or with any sort of sirup, according to taste. They are to be used as sauces, in puddings, fruit cakes and cookies, compotes, whips, souffles and even salads, much as fresh fruits are used. FINE ART OF COOKING RICE Cereal Can Be Cooked So That It Is Flaky and Each Grain Is Separate, Say Specialists. Rice can be cooked so that it is flaky and so each grain remains separate, say food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. To obtain that result wash the rice thoroughly, boil it in a large proportion of water, and do not overcook. To one cup of dry rice, use four or five quarts of water and one teaspoonful of salt. Wash the rice through several waters until all the loose starch is removed, and drain it. Have the boiling water ready in a deep saucepan, add the salt, slowly drop in the rice, and allow it to boil rapidly for about 15 or 20 minutes, or until a grain when pressed between the thumb and finger is entirely soft. In order to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan, lift it if necessary from time to time with a fork, but do not stir it, for stirring is likely to break the grains. When sufficiently cooked, turn the rice into a colander or a sieve, and after the water has drained off cover with a cloth and set over a pan of hot water on the back of the stove or in the oven; or turn the rice into a shallow pan, cover with a lid, and place it in a warm oven for a short time. Treated in this way the grains swell and are apt to keep separate.

The Kitchen Cabinet (© 1920 Western Newspaper Union.) "Give them a cheer! in earth's difficult places. Those who are toiling unceasingly on; Tired are their hearts and discouraged their faces. Give them a lift of a hearty 'well done!' Theirs is the burden of care and of striving. Carrying forward the world on its way. You with your greeting can aid their arriving. Yours is the chance to make glorious their day." SAVORY SATISFYING DISHES. When a little corn is left from the meal even if cut from the cob, save it and add to a potato salad, it makes a differ ent salad. CORN Hot Potato Salad. Cook the potatoes in thin jackets and cut them up after peeling them as hot as can be handled. Mix with a good dressing and some chopped onion as the seasoning will very quickly enter the potato and thus make it far more palatable. Add a cupful of shredded green mustard and a little chopped celery if at hand and serve at once. Toast With Ham Sauce. Prepare a white sauce using thin cream, one cupful and two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour cooked together before adding the cream. Season with salt and pepper and add one-half cupful of minced cooked ham. Pour over well buttered toast and serve hot. Spring Soup.—Peel and slice three green onions and cook in a tablespoonful of butter four minutes, then add four cupfuls of chicken stock, with one cupful of dry bread crumbs. Bring to the boiling point and simmer forty-five minutes, then rub through a sleeve and add one cupful of milk. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add an equal amount of flour and when well blended pour over the hot soup. Cook for five minutes, add one cupful of cream and season well; serve hot. Prune Ice Cream.—Soak one cupful of prunes in water to cover over night. Cook in the same water until tender, put the pulp through a strainer. Add one cupful of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and one and one-quarter cupfuls of heavy cream whipped. Freeze and garnish wilt: chopped nuts. Thin cream may be used with the juice of two oranges, making a change which is very agreeable. Every task wrought out in patience Brings a blessing to the doer; Joy comes to the waiting worker, But eludes the swift pursuer. A FEW FOREIGN SOUPS. Many of these soups are too complicated for a mere American to prepare, for they call for too many things not easily obtainable; the following is a good example: ```markdown ``` two medium sized onions and fry them in two ounces of butter, add one and one-half pounds of sauer kraut coarsely chopped and stew together until all moisture is extracted. Sprinkle with a tablespoonful of flour and three tablespoonfuls of sour cream. Mix well and moisten with three quarts of broth. When boiling add one partly roasted duck, one pound of breast of beef cut in three or four pieces and a few pork sausages. Let simmer gently until the ingredients are well done. Remove the Czek, beef and sausages from the soup, add one cupful of sour cream, season to taste, add the meats, chopped parsley and serve. Scotch Stew.—Put six good-sized onions and one and one-half pounds of hamburger steak into an iron kettle. Season with salt, pepper and let cook in the juice of the meat for an hour or more. Then set over the heat and brown thoroughly. Now add one and one-half quarts of water and cook one-half hour longer. Add six peeled and sliced raw potatoes and continue to cook more rapidly until these are done. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The ideal place for one's brooms, brushes, dusters, vacuum cleaner and mops is a built-in closet with a place to hang all hangables, where they are ready at hand when wanted. Pails for cleaning should be of galvanized iron or fiber. All cloths, brushes and dust mops should be often washed to be of the best service. Short, comfortable wash dresses for the housewife, shoes which have a width of heel and low enough to support the body properly are essential. If statistics could be gathered, we would find that more weariness, discomfort, irritability and loss of temper as well as disease are caused by uncomfortable shoes, the high heels of which throw the body as well as the disposition out of balance. When our women put as much thought upon the care and dressing of the feet, as they do on the hair and face, we will be vastly happier. The Kitchen Cabinet The Kitchen Cabinet ( @ 1920, Western Newspaper Union ) A pound of patience and self-control With words of honey sweet, Endurance a quart and energy roll In all you desire to eat. As the warm days approach the appetite craves cooling vegetables and frozen desserts with less of meat and pastry. Many desserts and salads may be prepared sometime before they are needed, thus making the meal at with less of meat and pastry. Many desserts and salads may be prepared sometime before they are needed, thus making the meal at serving time easier to serve. The simpler and less inexpensive desserts appeal to the housewife who has all her own work to do and during the hot weather she is wise to make her work as light as possible. Gelatine desserts and such combinations are all right for occasions, but they are not liked too often. Maple Pudding.—Mix together a cupful and a quarter of maple syrup, a tablespoonful of sugar, four beaten egg yolks and cook in a double boiler until smooth. Soak two tablespoonfuls of gelatin in two tablespoonfuls of water, add to the cooked mixture; when cool stir in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and a pint of whipped cream. Put into a mold and pack in ice and salt to harden. Orange Sherbet.—Take one egg, one quart of milk, one pint of cream, the juice and grated rind of three oranges, the juice and rind of one lemon and two and one half cupfuls of sugar. Beat the egg and add to the milk, cook until the egg's cooked, cool, add to the cream. Dissolve the sugar in the fruit juice and add to the other mixture. Freeze as usual. Raspberry Whip.—Crush a cupful of raspberries, add a cupful of sugar and beat into the mixture two egg whites, whipping until the mixture is stiff enough to stand up. Serve in sherbet cups with whole berries on top. Broiled Mushrooms.—Select large, even-sized mushrooms, peel the caps, remove the stems and put the caps gill side up in the broiler with a bit of butter in each. Cook until well done. Serve the stems chopped, cooked in butter and with a few tablespoonfuls of cream added. What might be done if men were wise! What glorious deeds, my suffering brother. Would they unite in love and might, And cease their scorn of one another. —Chas, Mackay. EVERYDAY GOOD THINGS. When you have time to prepare a little extra dish the following will be well worth your trouble: Hamburg Steak With Cabbage.—Wash and wipe dry the firm, crisp outside leaves from a head of cabbage. Prepare the steak by mixing with salt, pepper, a bit of clove and nutmeg as well as a little onion Hamburg Steak With Cabbage.—Wash and wipe dry the firm, crisp outside leaves from a head of cabbage. Prepare the steak by mixing with salt, pepper, a bit of clove and nutmeg as well as a little onion Juice. Have the steak one-third sausage meat, make into small balls and brown in the frying pan until nicely browned, but not cooked through. Now wrap each ball in the cabbage leaf, skewer with tooth picks and place in a frying pan with a little boiling water. Cover closely and cook for half an hour or until the cabbage is tender. Serve with the gravy poured over the cakes. Tomato sauce is very good with this dish. Quick Dessert.—A dessert which is quickly prepared, provided you have the ingredients, is this: Arrange squares of sponge cake on dessert plates, heap with sweetened and flavored whipped cream and on top of the cream place a canned apricot, round side up. It will look like a poached egg and taste better. Raspberry Sponge.—Fill an earthen bowl with layers of toasted bread and fresh raspberries, sprinkled with sugar. When the bowl is full, cover and put under a weight, let stand for two hours. Remove the weight and serve with a large spoon. Serve in cups, and over each pour sweetened cream to which some of the berry juice has been added. Prune Flip.—Take 30 prunes, a half-cupful of chopped nuts, the whites of four eggs and four tablespoonfuls of sugar. Stew the prunes until soft; chop with the walnuts; add sugar and fold in the beaten egg white. Bake in a well-buttered baking dish until firm. Lemon Jelly With Peaches.—Make a mold of lemon jelly, unmold it on a platter and heap round it halves of sweetened peaches. Around the peaches heap sweetened whipped cream, and serve well chilled. Other fruit, either fresh or canned, may be served in his manner. Tuna fish is a most delicious fish, more like chicken or turkey; it may be served as a salad or in a loaf as sandwich filling, or in many ways which will occur to the possessor of a few cans of the delicacy.

Underwood & Underwood ```markdown ``` draped over a foundation of georgette crepe and the design simple. The bodice has elbow sleeves cut in kimono style, with front panel of lace and a noteworthy collar of the georgette, very full and soft and suggestive of a fichu. An unpretentious girdle of ribbon has ribbon flowers set across the front and they are made to correspond with the colors in the summery Dresden silk parasol. This parasol is just the right accompaniment for the wide-brimmed hat of white georgette, with a long spray of flowers trailing across its drooping brim. White silk hose and kid pumps round out a perfect afternoon toilete for smart occasions. By means of a more elaborate sash or girdle, a different headdress, a suitable fan and perhaps even dressier slippers, one can imagine this frock making a triumph in the evening. It is of the sort that does not grow tiresome. EVERY summer finds, in its bright cortege, lovely afternoon frocks of white or of black lace, and they are always welcome. Good lace cannot go out of fashion. Women of judgment—and whose judgment is important—never fall to appreciate it. So styles come and go, all of them interpreted in laces that make dresses of the most enduring charm. An occasional season finds colored laces an item of importance—there is never one that finds white or black negligible. In the beautiful afternoon gown pictured an all-over white lace, run with black, makes a costume that will serve either for day or evening wear, and will find few rivals in appropriateness. By means of the proper accessories it is fitted into either background—and this is one of the reasons for the unfailing high esteem in which lace is held by women of good judgment. THE HAT vet does not belong to summer, but the artist, who created this bit of headwear, has been audacious enough to use it for a binding and a soft crown. One discovers the method in this madness when the wreath of pond illies is considered: against the deep background their waxen whiteness stands out most vividly. THOSE who express their thoughts in terms of millinery must be at their happiest when they create the lovely hats of midsummer. The gracious days and nights of summertime, prodigal of beauty, are written in these lacey and flowery garnishings—they are truly the poetry of apparel, and the talent of the designer blossoms at its best in them. A pale and misty blue in crepe de chine makes the charming small hat at the right veiled with fine pretty white lace, run with black. This is a charming hat for matrons who have progressed beyond the wide-brimmed picturesque shapes just described. The last hat pictured is made of black hair braid and has a drooping double brim bound with old blue silk. A wreath of garden roses with their foliage lies across the brim and a cluster of roses droops from it at the right side. The face is framed by a bandeau of little button roses. While their season lasts, designers revel in them and the fashion reporter would willingly cover pages with their pictures. But four of many gems, as shown in the picture above, are sufficient to reveal the character of this millinery and the manner in which it has been expressed this season. The wide-brimmed, transparent hat at the top of the picture might be appropriately called a midsummer night's dream; it is made of black malines. At each side there is a cluster of white illies—the fragrant, old-fashioned illies that bloom in gardens everywhere, reproduced with beautiful fidelity in a fabric.
