XXIX DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1923 No. 16. Negro Capitalists Gather in Atlanta Financial Concerns Report Remarkable Progress—Dividends Declared Indicate Marked Economic Strides. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 31.—What could well be termed the most remarkable gathering of Negro capitalists ever assembled in America met in Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16, 17 and 18, 1923, for the semi-annual meetings of the stockholders and directors of the Service Company and its subsidiary concerns, the Standard Life Insurance Company and the Citizens Trust Company. The three days were spent by the officers, directors and stockholders in discussing the affairs of these three corporations. Men of national reputation journeyed from as far west as New Orleans, La., and from as far east as Washington, D. C., the capital of the nation, to Atlanta to lend the benefit of their experience to the allied corporations and their subsidiaries. Definite Steps Taken in Negro Economic Progress. Perhaps the most significant feature of the meeting was the indication of definite steps being made by this group of Negro capitalists in the great movement for the redemption of the economic life of the colored people of America. The Service Company. The varied interests represented by these organizations cover a vast section of the industrial field. The Service Company, which is the holding corporation operating the Service Laundry, the Service Printing Company, the Service Realty Company, the Service Engineering and Construction Company, the Service Pharmacy and the Service Farm Bureau, has made an enviable record since its organization. Its resources have been increased, it was reported, since last year from $3,000,000 to $5,125,000 and its capital from $500,000 to $1,000,000. At the meeting last week the directors declared a cash dividend of 10 per cent with a stock dividend of 100 per cent. Indications are that the Service Company will doubtless again double its resources during the year 1923. This is possible since, in addition to the concerns already being operated, its plans contemplate the establishment of a Service Industrial Insurance Company to supplement Standard Life. The Citizens Trust Company. The Citizens Trust Company. In line with the general progress of the interests being handled by this group of industrial leaders the Citizens Trust Company, which was opened for business in August, 1921, has also made a remarkable record. On the day of the meeting of stockholders and directors last week the officers reported that the Citizens Trust Company can boast available resources of more than $1,000,000. No better expression of confidence and loyalty in the company could be wished than was shown on the day before the meeting, when seventy thousand ($70,000) dollars were deposited by individuals, secret societies and other organizations so as to bring the deposits up to the figure set for the year by the officers and directors. Twelve thousand five hundred ($12,500) dollars were paid in dividends to the stockholders of the company. It is proposed, it is said, during the year 1923 to bring the resources of the Citizens Trust Company up to $5,000,000. Standard Life Insurance Company. It remained for the Standard Life Insurance Company, one of the major constituencies of this financial group, to report insurance in force as of Dec. 31, 1922, amounting to $22,881,575, with a total income for the year of $1,083,152. A surplus of $78,910.45 was reported, being nearly double the amount of the surplus reported last year. After careful thought and consideration the directors voted that a semi-annual dividend of $6 per share be declared, which in percentage terms mean an annual dividend of 12 per cent. The stockholders and directors voted to increase the capital stock of the Standard Life Insurance Company from $125,000 to $250,000, so as to enable the company to do business in those Northern states, particularly which require a capital stock of at least $200,000. The potential worth of this financial program speaks for itself. Its financial returns, its employment of hundreds of capable colored men and women and its proof that the race can conduct financial concerns of this magnitude justifies the slogan of "Service" which permeates the activities of these corporations. Chicago Council on Record Against Klan Chicago, Jan. 28.—By a vote of 6 to 2 the city council was on record today as opposed to retaining members of the Ku Klux Klan on the city pay roll. The vote was taken yesterday, when the city council was asked to order the suspension of William H. Green, a city fireman and an alleged member of the klan. Green recently had been questioned by an investigating committee of the council regarding his alleged connection with the organization. At that time he asserted he had resigned from the klan. He will face trial before the city civil service commission on Jan. 26. Robert J. Mulcahy, chairman of the council's committee, asserted that a policeman had threatened his life for his activities against the secret order. He said he would divulge the facts later. John P. Garner, one of the dissenting aldermen, referred to alleged klan activities in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. "A friend of mine who just came back from Louisiana tells me that he met Skipworth and Dr. McKoin and that they are a fine lot of people," Garner said. "The whole trouble down there is politics." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1923 Plough Chemical Co. Outlook Good For 1923 Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 26.—Hello, 1923? If you are as kind to the Plough Chemical Company as old 1922 everyone will be happy." This was the sentiment of the fifty-two salesmen attending the fifth annual salesmen's convention of the Plough Chemical Company of Memphis, Tenn. For 1922 was in many respects the greatest year these men have ever enjoyed. It was a great year for business for the Plough Chemical Company. Sales were nearly double those of 1921, and this despite the general feeling of pessimism that prevailed in most lines at the beginning of the year, the troubling days of railroad and mining strikes and recent fears that boll weevil would consume the cotton crop before it was picked. And the same men who went out in the face of these unfavorable conditions determined, through zeal, enthusiasm and hard work, backed up by a line of well-advertised goods that they knew were the best ever and made the sales of 1922 double those of 1921, are going out this year determined to double those of 1922 in 1923. These salesmen are from all parts of the United States; they see and are in touch with conditions and all agree that they can do it. Some of the older salesmen who have seen and helped the unprecedented growth of this organization are looking for even greater developments in 1923 than ever before. The Plough Chemical Company is now shipping their Black and White Requisites and St. Joseph's Household Remedies to all parts of the world and have over 40,000 dealers handling their goods in the United States alone. In their addresses to the men at the meetings, Able Plough, president: E. A. McCullough, sales manager, and F. L. Kincannon, general manager, expressed their appreciation of the loyalty and help of the salesmen in making the Plough Chemical Company, in less than ten years, one of the largest toilet and medicine manufacturers in the country. During their sojourn in Memphis the salesmen visited the printing plant, the box factory of the chemical company, the salesroom and factory of the Red Line Products Company and the factory of the Gerstle Medicine Company. The last two named concerns are owned by the Plough Chemical Company. Plans for the future were taken up at a special meeting and it was agreed to continue the same policy of high quality goods at moderate prices and the aggressive advertising policy that has helped make the Black and White Toilet Requisites and Gerstle Household Remedies known throughout the civilized world. Bishop W. T. Vernon Undergoes Operation Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 26.—Bishop W. T. Vernon of the A. M. E. Church, who has been ill for some time, has undergone an operation here for the removal of gall stones. *Bishop Vernon has been indisposed for some time. This operation, if successful, will remove his trouble. He will be in the hospital for several weeks yet. Bishop Vernon is in charge of the work in South Africa. Bishop Clair Sails For Liberia Bishop Matthew W. Clair, Formerly Pastor of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, Washington, D. C., Sails for Liberia. Bishop Matthew W. Clair, resident bishop of Liberia for the Methodist Episcopal Church, sailed from New York aboard the steamship West Hesseltine of the Bull Line for Monrovia, Liberia, to resume his duties directing the mission forces of his denomination in that field. With Bishop Roert E. Jones of New Orleans, Bishop Clair was the first of his race to be elected to full rank in the episcopacy of his denomination at the general conference at Des Moines, Iowa, in 1920. For many years previously he had been recognized as one of the most able leaders in the church. In Liberia, Bishop Clair has made tours far into the interior through the jungle paths, visiting the native chieftains and local kings, all of whom begged him to send teachers and peachers among them. Bishop Clair has been in this country for some months in the interests of his mission field and has spoken many times to audiences of white and colored people upon the problems of spreading Christianity among the black bushmen of Liberia. These people are regarded by travelers and ethnologists are being in the front rank of African natives in natural intelligence ad other endowments promising rapid progress toward civilization. Spearmint Man Not Ku Klux Says Secretary Chicago, Ill., Jan. 26.—Emphatic denial of the story that Wm. Wrigley Jr., the gum magnate, is a member of the Ku Klux Klan was made in a statement issued by his secretary here today. "We wish to assure you that any rumor to the effect that our president, Mr. Wm. Wrigley Jr., has signed any application to join the organization mentioned in the clipping, or that he has approached said organization in any way, or has taken part in any of its proceedings, is unqualifiedly false. "The statement published by a Chicago paper of small circulation, that there is in existence a written application to the organization you mention signed by Mr. Wm. Wrigley Jr., is an untruth. "People who are personally acquainted with Mr. Wrigley know very well that neither his business associates nor his friends are selected by race, color or creed." The story originally appeared in Tolerance, a magazine opposed to the klan. KANSAS SENATE PASSES NEW STATE MOB LAW. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 30.—The state senate today passed a mob bill, designed to put due portion of responsibility for mob activities on the participants and the peace officials who fall to suppress such activities, and provides as penalties, terms in the state penitentiary of from two to five years.

Foreign delegates and leaders from Cuba, Jamaica, South Africa and Japan will be present. Mr. William Curtis Craver, the international representative for this field, is the executive secretary of the conference. School Supt. Bans Prejudiced Acts Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 25.—Superintendent Edwin C. Broone, of the public schools in Philadelphia, in a circular has asked the teachers to "avoid any acts or statements liable to make and pupil uncomfortable because of race, color, or creed." It is said that the circumstances bringing forth this circular arose from the fact that complaint had been registered against several white teachers who, it is stated, have humiliated Negro children on slightest provocation, several such instances having been brought to the attention of the writer. Superintendent Broone tells the public school teachers that "the public schools are for the children of all people, and that it is no surrender of independence for a teacher to be circumspect in his remarks and conduct, and considerate of the feelings of those who are placed under his charge. The finer the teacher, the more broad-minded he will be." Capital "N" for Race In All Toledo Daily Papers Capital "N" for Race In All Toledo Daily Papers dations. Activity of the Toledo branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has resulted in pledges by the editors of the three white dailies of Toledo, Ohio, that the word Negro will be spelled with a capital N; that the word "Negress" will be discarded, and that orders will be given to mention race only where such mention would be applied to other races. The Toledo Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., worked through a committee consisting of Rev. P. A. Nichols, B. H. Fisher and Albertus Brown. This committee called on the editors of the Toledo Blade, the Toledo Times and the Toledo News Bee, leaving with each editor a written memorandum, with suggestions for bettering relations between the races. The suggestions have been adopted by the three Toledo dailies. Cheyenne, Wyo. News Casper, Wyoming, is the second city in the state to have within its limits an Elk herd. John A.

This paraphrase does not refer to the saccharine qualities of the members, but rather to the harmonizing influence Governor Sweet seems to be exercising over them in behalf of constructive legislation. Every day in every way the Legislature is growing Sweeter and Sweeter. This paraphrase does not refer to the saccharine qualities of the members, but rather to the harmonizing influence Governor Sweet seems to be exercising over them in behalf of constructive legislation. However, the country will watch the acts of their representatives in the State Assembly with diligence; and woe unto the one who is caught saying coo, coo. Cone! The oldest member of the House is Simpson E. Butter of Denver, who is 84 and still going strong. What this veteran thinks no one knows, for wisdom has taught him silence. The youngest member is Ralph Kullerstrand of Ourray. That name ought to get him somewhere, and it might be well to make note of it. Already we think we note an evil in our legislative procedure. It is a statutory enactment that all bills must be introduced the first fifteen days of the session, the appropriation bills alone excepted. The result of this procedure is a great flood of bills, which pile up at once, and which is almost certain to produce legislative indigestion; the hopper is so full that the mill grinds slowly, and sometimes it is choked up, because of the avalanche of "stuff" that is fed into it at once. We are honestly in doubt whether it is a wise plan to follow or not. Much criticism is heard everywhere about our civil service law. In one respect it is a success, namely, in building up a bi-partisan machine, says one; another argues that "civil service does not necessarily mean the best service," and we suspect that there is wisdom in both suggestions. Recently the writer has been serving as a member of a committee of five to visit the state institutions and make report thereon for the Legislature. Without going into detail, we will say that it has made us a little prouder of our state to visit these institutions and to see the magnificent things that Colorado is doing for her unfortunate and dependent citizens. Comparisons are invidious; but if the parents of boys and girls could see just what is being done for those who have stepped aside it would do their hearts good. And to the men and women who are employed in these institutions we take off our hats to them all. If there is a finer type of humanitarian service performed anywhere we do not know of it. All hall to Colorado and her workers in this regard. Poverty has its compensations. The other day Representative Rees was called before the bar of the House to explain where he secured his new tie, the same being one of the flashy red variety. We refer to this here only because the salary paid a representative is so small that the appearance of such an article of apparel may well excite alarm, especially as lobbyists are abroad in the land. We are going to play safe, for we have brought all the old ties with us which admiring friends have given us for Christmas, lo, these many years. If our constituents are proud of their representatives and senators this winter, because of their magnificent oratorical achievements in public life, it is only fair to give credit to the inspirational effect of Denver's climate. By golly, there are some wonderful things up here, and we are—enjoyin' them. Attorney Pershing addressed the Bar Association and certain members of the Legislature on the administrative code proposed by Governor Sweet. We hear that Pershing is a Republican, but we really don't think that hurts him much—and the governor is wise in his method. Of all legislation the most talked of is the proposed new administrative code bill recommended by Governor Sweet and introduced by Representative Lacy. This bill would dispose of seventy-two boards and bureaus and organize and departmentize the state government under nine heads, the estimated saving of which would be $534,000 to the taxpayer. Labor, too, is certain to fare well during the session. Not many measures are being asked for, but the efforts are being centered in a few items of real worth. One bill proposed, if enacted into law, will do away with the board of capitol managers; there seems to be a general demand for such legislation. Child welfare bills are not being overlooked, nor is the question of prohibition. All state institutions will be cared for in a worthy way. Routt County Land Opened for Filing. Routt County Land Opened for Filling. Denver.—The throwing open of 1,900 acres of land in the heart of the anthracite coal fields of Routt county for surface filing was announced by the United States land office here. Only soldiers and sailors who served in the World War are eligible, according to M. D. McEniry, divisional chief of the land office. Filings do not permit holders of the land to mine coal, but those in the future filing application to mine will have to deal with the homesteaders. COLORADO STOCK WIN PRIZES AT DENVER BEST BREEDING STOCK IN COUNTRY SHOW AT NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW MANY SALES ARE MADE BANK CLEARINGS PROVE SHOW IS PRIMARILY A TRADING By H. W. Hailey. The seventeenth annual National Western Stock show and horse show, as a stupendous exposition, has passed into history, but its lessons and new ideas conveyed to breeders and others live on. Officials of other shows and men of importance in various fields of the livestock industry have said that the big feature of the National Western is its sales. It is primarily a selling, bartering, trading show. Bank clearings of over $5,000,000 for the week prove this. Nowhere else in the world are carloads of registered breeding cattle shown and sold in the quantity found at the National Western. Neither is the quality to be excelled. On many occasions the carload offerings at Denver have gone into herds, from which they were later sold as individuals at most attractive prices. Breeders of cattle, sheep, swine, poultry and horses look to the big show in Denver as the one place where they may secure the-best of breeding stock. They find at the show a large offering of high quality individuals from which to make their selection—a larger offering than can be found on any breeding farm or in any one district. This fact is substantiated by the long list of buyers who annually take up the offering of Hereford and Shorthorn sales held in the arena. Again, in the yards we find the carloads of breeding stock going both to breeding pastures and the range. Animals shown and sold in Denver find their way year after year to other shows, and they win. The offspring of breeding bulls bought in Denver may be found on the ranges of the great Southwest and later in the feeder and fat cattle sections of the country's largest shows. There is a reason for this and that reason is to be found in the wonderful health and vigor of Western breed animals. The showings in individual lots in Denver this year, while smaller in some classes, were by far the highest in quality ever seen here. Improvement has gone on from year to year. The incentive has been furnished by the show and its attendant sales. The breeder knows that premiums are paid for quality, both in the show ring and in front of the auction block. Colorado herds, as usual, figured prominently in the winnings, but did not have things their own way in any division. Colorado herds have won consistently for many years at the America Royal and the International, and their showing this year at these big shows was even better than ever before. It is not surprising then that they should also win extensively in Denver. Yet in no case was it a walkaway. Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Missouri and Iowa breeds came to Denver, and were not disappointed in their winnings. The best Hereford show ever seen in the West was the verdict of the ringside during the busy judging hours of Monday and Tuesday. Panama 110th, grand champion Hereford built at the International, shown by A. B Cook of Townsend, Mont., could not be denied the same placing in Denver. The junior and reserve on males, however, went to Fulcher & Kepler of Holyoke, Colo., on their most promising youngster, Prince Domino 115th. Both female championships were safely carried away by Colorado entries, Crystal Mischief, shown by the Ken Caryl ranch of Littleton, taking senior and grand champion honors, while J. D. Canary's Miss Repeater 87th was the junior champion. The Shorthorn show, though smaller in numbers than in the previous year, was strong in quality, with notably few tailenders. Several of the calf classes were pronounced by judges and ringside enthusiasts as second to none even at Chicago or elsewhere. Carpenter & Ross of Mansfield, Ohio, captured senior and grand championship honors with their sensational winner of the season, Maxwalton Monarch. The junior championship in the male division remained in Colorado with Pride of the Rockies, shown by the Warnocks of Loveland. In the female division Ohio and Colorado again scored, with Carpenter & Ross taking junior honors with Courtier's Model, and the senior and grand Three Men Killed in Mine Explosion. championships going to Cloverleaf Lovely 2nd, many times a champion for the Maxwell-Miller Cattle Company herd of Littleton, Colo. The Aberdeen-Angus showing was a disappointment to lovers of the "Doddies," with only one herd on the grounds, that of R. R. Lucore & Sons of Arriba, Colo. When it came to Judging carcasses, however, the "Doddies" had their own way, taking both champion and reserve champion places, on entries of the University of Nebraska. The strong showing of Hampshire swine was rather a surprise to the older established breeders of Durocs and Polands. But paramount in the swine division was the wonderful array of fat barrows shown. Numbering nearly two hundred, they came from half a dozen Western states to prove that the corn belt is gradually moving westward. Hampshire breeders led the way in numbers of hogs shown, closely followed by Duroc and Poland breeders, while a smaller number of Berkshires brought the total entries to over 600, the largest swine show ever held in Colorado or the Rocky Mountain West. The sheep and dairy cattle shows were strong in quality, but slightly smaller in numbers than last year. The poultry show, with over 1,600 birds, was the largest ever held in the West. Larger than ever before in the history of the show, the carlot offerings in the yards drew to Denver prominent cattlemen, buyers, feeders, packers and others from all over the country. The trend of the demand in beef, pork and mutton was easily seen, both on the hoof and on the hooks. The lessons to be learned from the showings of carloads of feeder and fat stock were many and in most cases they were not shown in vain. The visiting cattlemen came, they saw, and now they have gone home to conquer conditions as they find them and change them to conform to the new order of demand at the killing stations. Quick maturity, small high-quality cuts, fewer canners and more prime offerings are a few points that were brought out forcibly this year. Aged steers no longer find ready buyers—calves have the call. The grand champion feeder steers for three years now have been calves, bred and raised in Elbert county and carrying with them to the show and on to the feed yard the milk fat of their calfhood. "Keep 'em coming and never let them shrink" seems to be the slogan to be followed if a margin of profit is to be made. The champion and reserve champion carlot fat steers were carried along the same way and their carcasses hanging in the coolers were a most beautiful sight—and what is more, one that means a profit for the producer and delectable steaks for the consumer. Denver school children and boys and girls from clubs in the three states were on hand daily to see for themselves the superb productions of the husbandman, and to them future generations will look for the improvement that is necessary to meet changing conditions of the livestock and farming industry of the world. The show was never more worth while and beneficial to its visitors than in 1923. Vicious Bull Gains Freedom. Brownsville, Tex.—The verdict "too vicious to be killed," gained freedom for a bull which made a gallant fight at the Plaza de Toros, in Matamoras. After it had injured the matador, two picadores and a banderillo, it was permitted to leave the ring without being sacrificed. This is the first time in a decade that a bull has entered the arena at Matamoras and lived. Several thousand spectators were at the fight. He killed the horse of the first picador and trampled the man. Wheeling quickly, he attacked and injured the second picador. K. K. K. Asked to Leave New York. R. K. R. Asked to Leave New York. New York.—A warning to members of the Ku Klux Klan that they must give up their allegiance to the invisible empire or get out of Brooklyn has been issued by District Attorney Dodd of Kings, county and Magistrate Dale. The warning was voiced at the arrangement of eight alleged members of the inner circle of the klan, who were arrested by members of the bomb squad after they had attended what their counsel admitted to have been a klan meeting. They were held on $1,500 ball. New Bank for Salt Lake. Washington.—The Senate passed and sent to the House a bill so amending the law as to permit the construction at Salt Lake of a branch Federal Reserve Bank building. Automobile Output Increased. Washington.—The census bureau reported that the December output of passenger automobiles for 1922 was 206,418, compared with 70,690 in December, 1921. The number of trucks was 20,138, compared with 8,387. The seasonal decline was not nearly so marked as in 1921. A total of 2,334,171 passenger automobiles and 243,049 trucks was the estimated production for 1922, compared, respectively, with 1,435,161 automobiles and 147,000 trucks for the year 1921. STATE CAPITOL NEWS LETTER Colorado swung into line with other states when the Senate adopted a joint resolution against any further moves of the Interstate Commerce Commission to fix the valuations of railroads in their entirety instead of by states traversed by the roads. Senator David Elliot, Republican, Colorado Springs, reported for duty after a week's absence. He has had a slight attack of the grip and his physician decided that he should stay home and be treated. He is chairman of the Senate printing committee. Former Governor Shoup and Governor Sweet both urged upon the Colorado Legislature speedy ratification of the Colorado river agreement at the opening of the present session. Measures are pending for the solons' consideration as soon as they can be reached on the calendar. Senator J. Frank Coss, Democrat, Walsenburg, wants President Harding to call the leading nations together and settle the troubles in Europe. A joint resolution carrying this desire was introduced by the senator in the Senate and under the rules went over for action. He names the city of Washington as the place for holding the conference, with the date left open for the President to fill in. Charges that more than $20,000 is being wasted in legislative printing will be submitted to a joint meeting of the printing committees of the House and Senate by Senator Henry Wolcott Toll of Denver, Republican. "The legislative printing which is done under contract providing for payment for each page, is wasteful in the extreme," Senator Toll said. "I believe that if economy is insisted on the saving which would result would be much more than $20,000 for each session of the Legislature." What is known as the short appropriation bill was passed on third and final reading by the Senate, and, as it originated and was passed in the House, it now goes to the governor for his signature. Governor Sweet has the authority to cut out any single item and then approve the bill. This bill pays the administrative and legislative and all other expenses of the state for December, January, February and March, at the expiration of which time the appropriation bill for the biennial period probably will have been passed. Bills introduced in both the State Senate and House of Representatives, if they become laws, will give power to the State Public Utilities Commission to have almost unlimited jurisdiction over motor vehicles used on highways in transportation. Such vehicles will be in the same class as railroads and will be classed as common carriers. The laws have been urged by county commissioners, public utility commissioners, railroad officials and others interested in the highways of the state and transportation facilities of Colorado, and by those seeking more revenue for the state without resorting to taxes. Harry E. Niven, representative from Boulder county, has found there are thirteen men in the Senate and sixteen men in the House, or a total of twenty-nine out of the hundred members or the Legislature, who are farmers. There is no other occupation with so many members, and this is taken by the Boulder representative to show that the people want farmers in the Legislature to give their laws that will aid the farmers. "Residents of the towns of Colorado realize fully that the prosperity of the state depends upon the products of the soil and that where the farmer is down, there can be nothing up," said Mr. Nevin. An executive order abolishing the state ranger force on Feb. 1 was issued by Gov. William E. Sweet. The order was sent to Col. Paul P. Newlon, adjutant general, and he immediately prepared letters to the thirty-seven members of the force notifying them of their dismissal. Governor Sweet also directed that all ranger equipment be stored and that he be furnished with an inventory as soon as possible. With the dismissal, Governor Sweet called attention to the indebtedness of approximately $15,000, incurred for the maintenance of the rangers during December and February. The House passed four appropriation measures on second reading. They were: H. B. 21, by Huffacker of Salida—Appropriating $7,000 for deficiency at state reformatory. H. B. 22, by Hoffacker—Appropriating $30,000 for conducting reformatory during the months of December, January, February and March. H. B. 75, by Lacy of Grand Junction—Appropriating $17,000 for deficiency at state home for mental defectives at Ridge, Colo. H. B. 190, by Linkins of Fremont county—Appropriating $35,000 for conducting the penitentiary during the months of December, January, February and March. A committee to investigate the state educational, charitable and penal institutions, and to ascertain why there should be deficiencies in their appropriations, is asked by a motion made in the state House of Representatives by Representative R. W. Calkins of Montezuma county. Legislative printing is now done under a contract which calls for $4.50 for each page of the House or Senate journal. Legislators who are asking for an investigation allege that unnecessary pages are contained in the journals, as well as in bills as printed.

It is truly seasonal. We are sure our modesty will be readily pardoned if we assume that many of these papers are just now taking up the battle that we have been waging for years. Of course our interest in the matter was somewhat selfish just as it appears to us that this sudden outburst by the white press arises from selfish reasons, or, more specifically speaking, from the law of self preservation. Until in very recent years mob violence was mainly directed against the black man and that could not be accounted a sufficient cause for wholesale condemnation by the white press. Mob law is, as we have always contended, woefully contagious and in time is no respecter of race or persons. The National Republican published at Washington, D. C. is one of the periodicals that inveigh most heavily against mob violence. We quote from its pages as follows: The Washington officials of the American Federation of Labor have issued a statement demanding the impeachment of the Governor of Arkansas because of his failure to maintain order at Harrison, Ark. There a so-called "Committee of One Thousand" has recently taken the law into its hands following acts of violence accredited to railway strikers, with the result that one man was hanged after an encounter, several, including local police officials accused of failure to enforce the law, have been flogged, some two hundred strikers have been driven from the town and others have been jailed, some after admitting participation in the recent burning of three railway bridges. The lawlessness of the mob which took possession of Harrison, Ark., was fully as reprehensible as the crimes which were made the excuse for lynch law. When people take the law into their own hands, and proceed to burn bridges or lynch men accused of burning bridges, civilization has broken down. Lawlessness by one crowd or group invites reprisal by some other gang or clique. The last man to abandon the protection of the law for himself and others should be the workingman. He has nothing in common with elements which thrive on lawlessness. The guarantee of his right to enjoy the hard earned proceeds of his labor is in the law. They are blind and stupid leaders of labor who in one breath apologize for or condone lawless outbreaks like that at Herrin, Ill., and at the same time denounce bitterly similar lawlessness at Harrison, Ark., merely because in the one case the lawlessness is committed in the supposed cause of labor, and in the other workingmen are the victims of lawlessness. Raising defense funds for dynamiters like the McNamaras, who confessed their crimes while some so-called national leaders of labor were denouncing their prosecution as a scheme to railroad innocent men to the gallows and pleading the majesty of the law in such cases as the one at Harrison, are acts which do not seem entirely consistent to many people. The people of this country, rich and poor, employer and employed, must turn their faces against lawlessness, no matter by whom committed. The laws and the courts stand between all citizens and the complete overthrow of those rights of person and property which are essential to the maintenance of civilization. Lawlessness redresses no wrong; it only commits a new wrong. Leaders of any element in society who defend lawlessness when it is done in the supposed interests of some cause they advocate, and attack lawlessness only when it is directed against their own faction, should be driven from places of influence. No man in this country is above the law. No set of circumstances justifies a resort to mob violence. The mob which hangs some criminal in a good cause today may hang some good man in a criminal case tomorrow. It is almost tragic to note that mention, for argument's sake, is only made of those places where victims of the mob spirit were of the white race. If horrid examples were needed to drive home the truths of the arguments advanced, why not list the East, St. Louis, Chicago, Omaha, Washington and Tulsa riots. And if it be more serviceable to be up-to-date Florida and Georgia have plague spots that may be entered. The National Republican in substantiation of its position quotes Abraham Lincoln as follows on the subject of lawlessness. Eighty-six years ago, when Abraham Lincoln was a young man of 28, he made an address before The Young Men's Lyceum, of Springfield, Ill., in which he discussed the then prevailing disregard for law. His words of that long-ago period have a peculiar significance and application to conditions in this country today. He said: "I hope I am not over-wary; but if I am not, there is even now something of ill omen amongst us. I mean the disregard for law which prevades the country—the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions in lieu of sober judgment of courts, and the worse than savage mobs for the executive ministers of justice. This disposition is awfully fearful in any community; and that it now exists in ours, though grating to our feelings to admit, it would be a violation of truth and an insult to our intelligence to deny. Accounts of outrages committed by mobs form the every-day news of the times. "The question recurs, 'How shall we fortify against it?' The answer is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well-wisher to his posterity swear by the blood of the Revolution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the Country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of '76 did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and laws let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor—let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children's liberty. Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the Nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars. "While ever a state of feeling such as this shall universally or even generally prevail throughout the Nation, vain will be every effort, and fruitless every attempt, to subvert our national freedom." "When I so pressingly urge a strict observance of all the laws, let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, or that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example, they should be religiously observed. So also in unprovided cases. If such arise let proper legal provisions be made for them with the least possible delay, but then let them, if not too intolerable, be borne with. "There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law. In any case that may arise, as, for instance, the promulgation of abolitionism, one or two positions is necessarily true—that is, the thing is right within itself, and therefore deserves the protection of all law and all good citizens, or it is wrong, and therefore proper to be prohibited by legal enactments; and in neither case is the interposition of mob law either necessary, justifiable, or excusable." We wish to endorse with all possible emphasis the wisdom of the foregoing observations of the great Lincoln and their timely application to conditions of today. There can be no apology for mob law and its tolerance in one community today may be a signal for its outbreak in another community tomorrow. The government of the United States has some knotty problems confronting it, problems that must rightfully be solved if we would avoid chaos and national destruction. Not the least of these is an utter disregard for lawful procedure on all hands. Mob law is the most deadly menace confronting the American people at this time, and if it is ever overthrown and the majesty of the courts established it must be for all people, with equal rights and unassailable impartiality. We have drunk our portion of wormwood and gall, but our suffering will not have been in vain if in the end right and justice prevail. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES The services last Sunday had the earmarks of interest and progress. A splendid audience of young people was present during the Sunday School hour; and the hour in the Sunday School proved to be one of inspiration and information as well. The General Lesson topic was "The Rich Man and Lazarus;" and the lesson was very enlightening and helpful indeed. Two very interesting services were held during the day. At the morning hour of worship Rev. C. E. Chapman, minister in charge, spoke on "The Results of the Presence of the Master." At the evening hour he spoke on "Moved by the Spirit." Tomorrow (Sunday) there will be Sunday School at 9:45 a. m.; praise service and morning worship at 11:00 a. m.; praise service and evening worship at 7:30 p. m. Next Sunday morning Rev. Chapman will begin a series of sermons on the Apostle Paul. The discourse next Sunday morning will be on "Paul, the Apostle—of the Stock of Israel;" at the evening hour on "Paul, the Apostle—of the Tribe of Benjamin." A cordial invitation is extended everybody. A hearty welcome is awaiting all!

ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION Bon Vivant Annual Event Eclipses All Former Events Bon Vivant Annual Event Eclipses All Former Events Fern Hall a Scene of Beauty and Splendor on Occasion of Fancy Dress Dancing Party. FOR the second time in its long history, the famous Bon Viviant Club threw open the doors of its annual event to a host of invited friends at Fern hull, Tuesday night, in the form of a fancy dress dancing party that for gorgeousness and richness has never been equaled in the West. Never was there a happier, churches. Rev. Thornton's sermon was crowd assembled than the 300 guests who responded graciously to the Bon Viviant invitation Tuesday night. It has been the almost unbroken custom of the Bons in its quarter of a century existence to be exclusive to members and wives only in these annual affairs. The custom was first broken three years ago by a formal party, and again this year by the fancy dress affair. Denver society can recall many notable functions in years past—the days of the old Pendennis Club, the colorful events of the historic Bats' Club, the exquisite spring parties of the Self Improvement Club—but none approached in variety and uniqueness the Bons' plunge into social favor. Nothing would be more difficult than an attempt to describe the many different costumes, characters and nations represented. Suffice it to say that when the "Home" waltz sounded at 1 a. m., a merry throng was reluctant to leave. LINCOLN-DOUGLASS BANQUET. Denver Colored Civic Association Preparing Elaborate Affair for February 12. On Monday night, Feb. 12, the beautiful and spacious rooms of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association gives promise of being the scene of the most-brilliant social event ever known to Denver. It will be the occasion of the annual Lincoln-Douglass banquet by the Denver Colored Civic Association, an event that has grown in popularity and interest each succeeding year. Given in commemoration of the birthdays of the great Emancipator and of our own stalwart Race leader, the association has this year added the name of John Brown to the list of heroes to be honored by our group, and arranged the most attractive program it has yet offered. The committee in charge of the sale of tickets reports an unusually heavy demand and it is almost certain that the estimated number of 250 will be seated at the banquet table. Of the speakers, Attorney John Adams of Pueblo will have the subject, "Abraham Linein;" the Rev. M. M. Perdue of Colorado Springs will have, "Frederick Douglass," and Mrs. Ida De Priest of Denver will have the immortal "John Brown." All are forceful, eloquent speakers and it will be a rare treat to hear them. A high-class musical program has been arranged especially for the occasion. It has been well said that the Negro race cannot afford to ever allow the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass to pass by unnoticed, and the Denver Colored Civic Association is to be encouraged and commended for its patriotic efforts. PIONEER RESIDENT OBEYS THE SUMMONS. MRS. KATE JACKSON, late of 715 East Twenty-fourth avenue, obeyed the final summons last Saturday morning when she succumbed to an attack of double pneumonia after three days' illness. Born in Baltimore, Md., a little over sixty years ago, she came to Denver with her husband, Charles Jackson, in 1888, when she took an active part in church and social circles, continuing the same until the time of her illness. Seven children were born to the union of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, four of whom pre-deceased her, and three, Mr. Morgan Jackson of Portland, Ore.; Mrs. Marguerite Pittman of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Bettina Pope of Denver, survive here, besides their father. Funeral services were held from the Church of the Holy Redeemer last Wednesday morning, when a solemn requiem mass was sung, Father Rahming officiating, and a large attendance of pioneer and other citizens paid their last respects to the memory of the deceased. The floral offerings were rare and beautiful and expressions of condolence were offered at the Riverside cemetery, where interment took place. Thus has passed another link between the old and new Denver, and the COLORADO STATESMAN offers its sympathy to the bereaved family.

LEE MORRISON, a leading instrumentalist and vocalist of the Morrison Orchestra, died last Sunday evening after an operation for appendicitis. Mr. Morrison's death came as a great shock to his many friends, the musical portion of the community, and the city at large, as he was very popular and had very recently contributed to a program at Shorter A. M. E. Church on behalf of the Young Women's Christian Association. Born in Fayette, Mo., August, 1885, the deceased came with his parents to Boulder, Colo., some years ago, where he continuously resided, and with his brother formed an orchestra which gave valuable services in entertaining the various organizations of the Boulder University. He was one of the outstanding features of the Morrison Orchestra, and won many plaudits from both races for his excellent vocal renditions as well as his artistry on the banjo and other stringed instruments. He is survived by his widow, son LeRoy, a mother, three sisters and four brothers. It is with profound sorrow that The COLORADO STATESMAN chronicles the death of this young artist, who seemed to be snatched away when everything promised success and appeared hopeful, but we must bow to the "Common lot of man," and in doing so be thankful that his life had been spared to be of service to humanity for the years past. The body will lie in state at the Douglass Undertaking Parlors, 2745 Welton street, today, and funeral services will be held from A. M. E. Church, Boulder, Sunday, 2 p. m. Persons desirous of attending the funeral can take the Interurban car at the Union depot at 12 noon sharp, tomorrow, for a $1.80 round trip, arriving at Boulder 1:15 p. m. Our deepest sympathy is extended the widow, son and other relatives of the deceased. Bad News Never Welcome. Though it be honest, it is never good to bring bad news.

Dish Only for the Rich. The ortolan is a very rare bird, caught only in Italian vineyards. It has to be fattened in a specially constructed dark room before being killed for market, and if during this process a severe thunderstorm takes place, the little bird may die of fright. Small wonder that at a London hotel a dish of ortolans for four diners cost the giver of the feast $50. The Cottage Gardener A The Well Constructed Hotbed is the Key to the Situation in Producing the Best Vegetable and Flowering Plants. The Coldframe Serves as the Developer. TO BUILD HOTBED AND A COLD FRAME Window boxes will serve for starting early plants for the very small garden, but where a considerable number of tomato, cabbage and other plants of this character are wanted, it is a good plan to make a small hotbed and later a cold frame for the care of the plants. Hotbeds may be constructed in two or three ways, points out the United States Department of Agriculture. One way is to dig out a pit, which is either walled up with brick, cement or with boards, and fill this pit with eight to fourteen inches of fresh horse manure to supply the heat; over the manure is placed five or six inches of fine loam soil, and over this a sash or a heavy muslin cover to keep out the cold. Another method is to build a small flue underneath the hotbed and provide heat by burning wood or some The Cold Frame. other kind of fuel in this flue. In a few cases where the hotbed can be located along one side of the house it can be heated with hot water from the hot water heating plant of the dwelling. Oil heaters are sometimes used for heating hotbeds, but in case these are used, or if gas is employed, a pipe or ventilation should be attached to the heater, so that the gases formed by the combustion of the fuel do not get into the hotbed. The simplest and best hotbed is the one attached to the dwelling and heated from the furnace or hot water heater of the dwelling. In making up a manure-hented hotbed it is desirable to secure the manure about two weeks in advance of the time that it is needed, pile it in a rather flat pile and turn it over a time or two to start it heating uniformly. In placing it in the hotbed pit it should not be thrown in large masses, but shaken out uniformly and then tramped so as to form a compact bed, covering the entire space. If the manure is very dry a little water should be added, so that it will produce heat without becoming fanged or burnt. The soil should be put over the manure immediately, but no seeds should be sown for a few days, as the temperature of the bed is liable to run very high in from three to five days after the bed is made. The best method is to bury the bulb of the thermometer about three inches deep in the soil and note the temperature from time to time, not planting any seeds until after the temperature has fallen below 85 degrees. A hotbed, like the plant box, requires especial care in watering; if too much water is applied the small plants are almost certain to "dump off" at the surface of the ground. Ventilation is also very important, and while the cover should not be left off when the plants would become chilled or be badly blown by the wind, yet proper ventilation insures sturdy plants and in a measure prevents damping. Cold frames are just like hotbeds, except that no heat is provided. The object of the cold frame is to provide space for transplanting the plants grown in a window box or in a hotbed. A combination of window box and cold frame is a good thing on account of the difficulty in providing heat for the hotbed. The plants can be started in the window box and, by transplanting into the cold frame and keeping it thoroughly covered with old carpet, mat- ting, leaves, straw or something of that sort during the cold nights the most tender plants can be carried along and grown to considerable size for setting in the garden. The plants can either be set directly in the soil of the cold frame, which should always be sifted and fairly well fertilized, or they can be-transplanted into trays with paper bands, or wooden bands, or into pots, if available, and these simply set in the cold frame. While pot-grown plants are desirable, very good results can be secured by simply spacing the plants in the soil of the cold frame at distances of four or five inches for tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, and about two or three inches apart for lettuce and small crops. Melons, cucumbers, beans and corn may all be started in the cold frame, using berry boxes or wooden or paper bands for holding the soil. The berry boxes or plant bands should always be removed when setting the plants in the open ground. PREPARING EARTH FOR SMALL FLATS PREPARING EARTH FOR SMALL FLATS Plenty of Pebb'es or Rough, Fibrous Soil Necessary; Leaf Mold at the Top. Perhaps for a majority of home gardeners the cigar box or "flat" in a south window answers the purpose of a hotbed or cold frame. It is a thoroughly-tried and tested device of century-long use. If boxes have not been stored in advance with a supply of earth, it will be necessary to acquire them and to go out with a pickax or mattock and pry loose some frozen clods of earth to place in the cellar to thaw. Plenty of pebbles, broken flower pots, crockery or rough fibrous earth should be at hand to provide drainage, for good drainage is one of the secrets in indoor boxes. Bore holes in the bottom of the box. Over these scatter the pebbles or pot shreds and upon this place the coarser soil. The surface soil must be sifted carefully through a sieve, leveled down and firmed. The soil used here must be leaf mold or its equivalent in texture. Plant the seeds in rows, crosswise of the box. Broadcast sowing in window boxes is wasteful. A large portion of the plants are destroyed in watering and transplanting, and often they are so thick they never have a fair chance to develop. A cloth over the surface of the soil, or better still, a pane of glass, will Sift the Earth to Be Used In Starting Seeds in Pots or Flats. It Is Easily Done and Well Worth the Effort. Keep a more even temperature and retard evaporation. The cloth must be removed with the first sign of germination and the glass should be lifted and the molture which has condensed upon it wiped off from time to time. Care in watering should be exercised, as careless sprinkling will wash seeds out of the ground and uproot newly germinated little plants. A fine spray or sprinkling with a whisk broom or a similar article is the best way. The boxes should never be soaked after germination starts, but just kept moist. THE SMALL GARDEN No space is too small to grow something for the table. A space as small as five feet square will furnish tomatoes, lettuce and radishes. EXTRA SESSION ISN'T EXPECTED REASONS WHY CONGRESS HAS CHANGED ITS OPINION AS TO PRESIDENT'S INTENTION. SUPPLY BILLS FAR ADVANCED Ship Subsidy Probably Would Have No Chance in Next Congress—Mr. Harding May Take Wife to Florida in March. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — There has come a sudden but not altogether unaccountable change of opinion in congress concerning the likelihood of an extra session. Until a few days ago it was believed that every attempt would be made to force the President to call the members together shortly after the death of the present body, but today the feeling is that the newly elected ones will not come to Washington for legislative purposes until next December. A filbuster has been in progress in the senate against the ship subsidy olll. No partisanship is involved when the filbuster opinion is expressed. The senators who are talking against time when the ship subsidy bill is up only smile when the direct charge is made that they are using the tactics of deay. Admission of course can be found in the smile. The agricultural credits bill at this writing is about to displace ship subsidy as a subject of legislation. The advocates of subsidy hope that having yielded to the sentiment in favor of "agriculture first" they will win support enough later to give the subsidy measure at least a chance for its life. Nevertheless it looks today as if the subsidy bill would not be allowed to reach the stage of a vote at this session, although of course the unexpected may happen. There are several reasons for the sudden birth of belief that congress will not be convened in extraordinary session. The senate has talked and talked on subsidy, or rather has talked and talked while the subsidy subject was up without saying much about the specific matter, but it has refrained from much talking when the appropriation bills have been under consideration. Supply Bills Well Advanced. Supply Bills Well Advanced. Not for many years have the supply bills been so far advanced at a short session as is the case at present. The senate when it feels the pulsing movement has a way of putting appropriations through in short order and without the accompaniment or many words. Therefore it seems that the appropriation bills will be well out of the way by March 4, and if such be the case there will be no necessity for an extra session in order to give any department the money wherewith to keep the wheels moving. If the Republican majority in the next congress were as heavy as it is in the present one, the President unquestionably would call the lawmakers together again for the express purpose of passing the ship subsidy bill, provided of course if it should fall at the present session. As things are, however, the belief of the administration supporters is that subsidy will have no possible chance of enactment in the next congress and that the President, being well aware of this, will not call an extra session for ship subsidy purposes. It is understood that as soon as congress quits in March the President will take a few weeks' rest from his Washington labors. It is believed to be his intention to go to Florida for recreation and surcease. It is said Mrs. Harding is so far convalescent from her recent illness that she will be ready for travel in the early spring. It is known that it is the desire of the President to give his wife the benefit of a change of climate, and of course naturally it is his wish to accompany her. Harding May Visit Alaska Harding May Visit Alaska. Tentative plans are being made at this time for a visit of the President in the summer to the territory of Alaska. This northwestern territory has been a subject for acrimonious debate in congress, and for trouble to at least two of the departments of government for a long time. The President, it is said, wants to go to the territory to judge of things for himself. He will be the guest while there of Scott Bone, former newspaper man and now under the Harding appointment the governor of the territory. Disputes over government policies in Alaska, it is said, in part were responsible for the willingness of Secretary of the Interior Fall to retire from office. As a man who has known Alaskan conditions for many years has said: "No two officials of government ever have been able to agree on what should be done to rehabilitate the territory." Every time it is suggested that anything be done along certain policy lines for Alaska, the charge instantly is either that capital is seeking a chance for selfish exploitation or that advocates of conservation are trying so to tie up things that the natural resources of the territory cannot be utilized. Alaska has been known in Washington for a long time as "the land of suspicion." To Entertain Host of Shriners. In 20 years the population of the city of Washington has increased from 296,000 to 428,000, and the growth continues steadily onward. Seemingly Washington at present cannot house with entire comfort all the people that are within its limits. However, arrangements are being made to entertain for one week next June visitors to a number equaling three-fourths of the population of the town. The salient question today is: "Can Washington do it?" It is some tusk that this town is going to undertake. The occasion will be the annual session of the organization known as the "Imperial Council of the Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine." At San Francisco last June when the Shriners held their convention, 94 temples were registered with an average daily attendance of 350,000. Up to the present time the Washington committee has 118 temples on its list of applicants for hotel accommodations. Something is to be seen in this town next June that perhaps never was seen before. It is understood that fifty thousand people will live in parked Pullman cars for one week in the yards of the Southern railway just outside of the limits of the city. The yards are to be organized like a town with police and fire protection, sanitary arrangements, restaurants in the shape of dining cars, playgrounds for the children, and with arrangements for localized social entertainments and get-together meetings for the adults. If fifty thousand people thus can be accommodated it is expected that about 275,000 more people will find temporary homes within the limits of the city proper. What are the hotels and the boarding houses going to do about it? The answer of the local committees to this query is: "Wait and see," and then it adds: "Everybody will be snug, comfortable and satisfied." Washington probably can meet the test. At the danger of being charged with having taken on duties as a press agent for the Mystic Shriners, let it be said that Washington is preparing to make its ear-drums receptive enough to withstand and enjoy the music of a band of six thousand instruments, to say nothing of the vocal efforts of a chorus of five thousand trained voices. How many untrained voices will Join in the general vocalization jubilee no one has ventured to say. There will be noise enough, however, musical noise enough perchance, and it may be that the cares that infest the day will fold their tents like these Arabs of the Mystic Shrine at the close of their stay and silently steal away. Many Hotels Being Built. Now all this leads up in a way to the hotel situation in Washington. Nearly everybody here seems to think that too many hotels are under construction, that before long half-empty hostelries will stand on every other corner, and that the promoters of the caravansaries will wish they hadn't promoted. Nothing but time will tell whether this building is being overdone or not, but it is certain that at the present moment one has great difficulty in finding a place to live in the city of Washington unless he wants to pay prices that have broken the records of all the aviators of this soaring age. The hotels, high-priced ones and all, are full today, or at any rate most of them are. Some few are so new that they barely have started the filling-up process. What is going to happen when the new ones now under construction are roofed in, furnished and given over to the uses of the traveling public? There is one hotel in the city of Washington now partly constructed which will be one of the largest of the world's houses of entertainment. There is one hotel in full operation in this city which it is said holds five thousand guests. Still another is to be erected upon Capitol hill, and it is to be of a first order of magnitude. Another one probably will be built soon on one of the busiest of the downtown thoroughfares. Of the making of many hotels there is no end, at least no end is in sight. what will the harvest be? The fact that the former war workers stayed here in large numbers accounts for the housing problem, but the fact that so many thousands of people came here on business during the war accounts for the splurge in hotel building. There seems to be a feeling that visitors will continue to come during future years just as they came during the war, and have been coming since to wind up the commercial matters growing out of the war. Deadly "Sporting" Gun. Automatic shotguns that kill 500 birds at a single discharge are being used by Pacific coast hunters, according to George Neal, an official of the California state game and fish commission. The gun, according to Neal, is equipped with a special appliance which permits a sustained and concentrated fire, similar to the machine gun. Four men, arrested by Near for exceeding the number of birds the law permits to be killed, confessed they had slaughtered 500 ducks with a single discharge of the gun. Derver's Famous Mint. The United States mint in Denver is called the "strong box of the nation." It is considered one of the most perfectly constructed buildings in the world, and its vaults are said to be the finest ever constructed. Not only is money coined in this mint, but it is one of Uncle Sam's money storehouses, approximately $750,000,000 in money and bullion being stored in the vaults. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Has "Pork Barrel" Gone Out of Style? Child Labor Reform Has Many Friends The Seven Points in Good Citizenship ME'S TRYING TO RULE THE AIR WASHINGTON. — Representations that wireless communication in this country and between the United States and a number of important nations is likely to become a monopoly dominated by the Radio Corporation of America were made to the house committee on merchant marine, when considering the Kellogg-White bill for radio regulation. The Radio corporation, now headed by Gen. Harbord, formerly assistant chief of staff of the army, is one of the most powerful aggregations of capital in the world. Behind it are the General Electric company and the J. P. Morgan interests. The activities of the Radio corporation, some of which are now unlergo- HAS the legislative pork barrel been relegated to the museum of antiquities and "log rolling" ceased to be the favorite indoor sport of congress? Well, it surely does look like it. Since the budget system became firmly established in the last session of congress, the pork barrel has been missing. Log rolling has become so difficult as to be scarcely worth the effort. In the palmy days of the pork barrel an appropriation bill was-made up so as to allow every senator and congressman a public building, a river and harbor improvement; or other government perquisite. Now he gets no pork, unless he gets it from the budget bureau, and up to date that has meant no pork at all. Under the new budget system, the departments submit their estimates to the director of the budget, who scales them down. With the President approving the budget, as it is transmitted to congress, the department heads are obliged to be satisfied with the amounts recommended. They no longer appeal to the congressional committees for further increases. Formerly the house usually increased the amount reported by the ONE impressive phase of child labor reform today is the sheer size of the movement. A membership of more than 10,000,000 men and women is represented by the hundred and more organizations launching a concerted campaign for the McCormick constitutional amendment to prevent child labor. This estimate is regarded as conservative. More than 5,000,000 women are on the roster of women's organizations actively working to abolish juvenile exploitation. Organized labor, with more than 4,000,000 members, is another great sponsoring group, while civic societies and other units enrolled in the campaign have more than 1,000,000 members. The sweating of boys and girls on factory work in homes in Rhode Is- WHAT is the ideal citizen? The question was asked at the recent conference of eminent educators and welfare workers called in Washington by the secretary of war to consider the training of American youth for citizenship and the national defense. It was asked, and it was answered. A committee of college professors, army officers, government experts, newspaper editors and directors of numerous welfare organizations, sixty persons in all, representing many shades of American thought and many diverse points of view, attempted to define ideal American citizenship. Or, if not to define it, at least to suggest a standard by which the quality of a man's citizenship may be measured. And these learned persons finally agreed upon seven points or specifications of the attitude of a good citizen toward his country. According to their report, good citizenship in a man is as follows: The good citizen desires to create more than he consumes, striving to add something to the world's accumulated surplus of wealth, knowledge, or beauty; he loves his country and desires to fit himself for her service. ing investigation by the federal trade commission, are alleged to be in the direction of establishing a wireless communication monopoly through control of patents, through exclusive traffic agreements, and through direct governmental grants and provisions conferring exclusive right to valuable bands of wave lengths. The Radio corporation is reported to have closed a large number of exclusive contracts which will prevent any serious competition in domestic and foreign wireless communication. In the case of a country where radio is a government monopoly such an exclusive contract would give the Radio corporation a monopoly of wireless communication from that country to the United States. The fundamental question before the committee is whether the right to transmit through space belongs to the public or whether the right can be acquired by private interests by a process analogous to squatting. If private radio concerns acquire rights by prescription or by improvident governmental grant they will have gained rights of incalculable value, and which they can capitalize. BUDGET SYSTEM committee. Now such increases are extremely rare. As a result of the establishment of the budget system and the elimination of pork-barrel practices and log-rolling, appropriation bills are passed with a dispatch that amazes the cynical old-timers. The bills have gone through with such smoothness as to astonish the veterans who have become accustomed to such an amount of log rolling as to keep both houses busy to the exclusion of most other legislation from December until March in a short session and from December until July in other years. Even the senate, which seldom hurries over anything, has shot the appropriation bill through in such a manner as to break all speed limits. land and the exploitation of juvenile workers in the sugar beef fields. Michigan and Colorado are phases of child labor covered in two surveys made by the children's bureau, United States Department of Labor, to which considerable attention is now being directed. In many lesser industries in New England conditions were found not unlike the ancient family sweat shops in the garment trade before it was highly industrialized. In Providence and Pawtucket the survey shows that 21 industries use home work as part of their system of production. Of these the jewelry industry was most prominent. The children, many of them five and nine years and upwards, worked at their homes in the kitchen, generally after school, at carding dress snaps, wiring beads, carding jewelry, and similar home occupations. The study of the sugar-beet fields in Michigan and Colorado by the children's bureau included 2,500 children six to sixteen years of age, of whom three-fourths worked. More than one-half the juvenile workers included in the survey were between the ages of nine and twelve years, and the average age was eleven years.

RUGS MADE BY SOUTHERN WOMEN Mr. street ta Making "Pulled" Rugs in Arkansas—The Insert Shows Part of a "Crazy" Quilt Made of Old Neckties. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) and all seemed to be succeeding in making extra money by this work The beautiful old art of making "pulled" or "hooked" rugs is being revived in Arkansas and Mississippi by rural women who are anxious to increase the family income. The industry is one which has started among the farm women and girls themselves, and wherever possible it is being spread and encouraged by extension agents. A representative of the United States Department of Agriculture on a field trip recently saw one woman near Little Rock who sold many of her small pulled rugs made from her own designs of flowers and forest leaves for as much as $12 each. Several other women were doing similar work under her instruction. FRESH VEGETABLE IS POSSIBLE EVERY DAY Particularly Beneficial to Those on Restricted Diet. Great Number of Plants Have Been Grown in Search for Those Low in Carbohydrate—Diabetic Urged to Plant Garden. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) With a view to suggesting to those on a restricted diet, particularly to diabetes, ways in which variety might be introduced into the menu, the United States Department of Agriculture has searched the world for promising vegetables, low in carbohydrate. The difficulties of the diabetic diet center mainly around the supply of vegetables and the provision of variety at all seasons. A great number of vegetables have been grown in the course of these investigations. Last year 91 species were planted, so that some vegetable was available every day of the year. These varieties included aniseine, asparagus, basella, bush and pole beans, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celirac, celery, chard, chervil, chayote, collards, corn salad, cress, cucumber, dandelion, eggplant, endive, escarole, finocchol, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, mung bean, mustard, New Zealand spinach, okra, onion, leek and shallot, orach, pal-tsai, parsley, patience, pepper, purslane, radish, roquette, salsify, scorzera, sorrel, soy bean, spinach, squash, vegetable marrow, tomato, turnip and witloof. All these vegetables are valuable in the diet of the normal person as well as the invalid, because of the vitamins, minerals, and bulk they furnish. Many excellent combinations can be made among them. They vary in their composition and suitability for invalid diets, and the department recommends that the advice of a physician be followed in their use. The department suggests that every diabetic or other invalid dependent on vegetables who can do so should develop a garden, both for the sake of variety in the diet and because of the new interest and hobby it furnishes. Even city patients may find it possible to have small gardens on near-by vacant lots. Most of the uncommon vegetables in the foregoing list can be easily grown. Information concerning them may usually be had from the extension agent, whose headquarters are at the State Agricultural college, or from the United States Department of Agriculture. KEEPING SOUP POT ON STOVE Much to Be Said in Favor of Practice Provided Contents Do Not Become Stale. There is much to be said in favor of keeping a soup pot on the stove all the time, says the United States Department of Agriculture, provided great care is taken not to allow the contents to grow stale. Into this pot can go clean portions of uncooked food, and also clean foods left from the table, such as ment, milk, mashed potatoes, or other vegetables, crusts, cold cereal mushes, and even fruits. Soups made from such materials may not have great nutritive value, but, like those made out of materials bought for the purpose, they encourage the use of a large amount of bread, particularly if carefully seasoned. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION and all seemed to be succeeding in making extra money by this work. In another part of the state an old loom, brought over from England 150 years ago, was seen. The woman who owned it not only used it to weave rugs but also made beautiful woven wool coverlets of unusual designs, showing not a little ingenuity in making up new patterns. She, too, was teaching others in her community to make rugs and coverlets. In addition to pulled and woven rugs, many of the popular rag rugs are made, including the braided and crocheted types. "Crazy quilts" and counterpanes of applique work are also being revived in addition to the beautiful woven wool counterpanes. Bitter Orange Jelly. Bitter orange jelly is made by preparing the juice as directed for bitter orange marmalade. After the peel has been removed, weigh the fruit and cut it into small pieces. Place it in a kettle and for each pound of orange add two pounds of water; boll until it thoroughly disintegrates. Pour the mass into a flannel jelly bag and press until no more juice can be extracted. Drain this juice again through a clean flannel jelly bag without pressing. No peel is used in the jelly. For each pound of fruit taken one pound of sugar is added. This is boiled until it has reached the jellying point. FRESHEN VELVETS BY STEAM One Plan Favored Is to Draw Cloth Through Vapor Coming From Teakettle Spout. Most velvets may be freshened by steaming from the wrong side, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture, in connection with its home economics work for women. One way is to draw the velvet through the steam from a teakettle. Care must be taken that the teakettle contains only a little water, or the water may splatter out and spot the velvet. As a special precaution several-thicknesses of cheesecloth may be tied over the spout. A cone of heavy paper placed around the spout will direct the steam and make it possible to hold the velvet farther from the heat. Another way to steam velvet is to place several thicknesses of damp cloth over a hot iron and pass the back of the velvet quickly over the cloth. Velvet so creased that it cannot be freshened by steaming may be "panned" by steaming and ironing it in one direction. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Onion juice will remove rust from knives. Orange sauce brings out the real flavor of roast venison. Ducks are delicious served with turnips cooked in the same vessel. Freshen a stale loaf by putting it in a steamer over a pan of boiling water for a few minutes. If you are storing away silver for some time, pack it in dry flour and it will not become tarnished. Never soak colored things—soap, wash, rinse, pull into shape and hang out to dry as quickly as possible. Glass should be washed in cold water. This gives a brighter and cleaner appearance to it than when washed in warm water. After washing lamp chimneys try polishing them with dry salt. This gives the glass a brilliant shine and prevents it from cracking. The KITCHEN CABINET The KITCHEN CABINET (1923, Western Newspaper Union.) It is true that often the things we hope for fail to put in their appearance, but think of the wonderful compensation we get in the good things that appear so unexpectedly.—Lloyd. Use glycerin instead of oil to lubricate the egg beater, meat cutter and such utensils, as it will not impart a taste to the food. = Rub the greater lightly over a burned cake, holding it so that the crumbs will fall done all of the he removed off. If carefully done all of the scorched cake will be removed. To dry lettuce quickly for serving, wash and wrap in a large cloth, step out on the porch and whirl the cloth several times. This will dry the lettuce. If time is not pressing, just hang it in the cloth. Any chest of soft wood, well oiled once a year with oil of cedar is just as effective against moths as the best cedar chest. To clean a rusty knife, thrust it into an onion and leave it for a short time. When washing dainty white undergarments, add a tablespoonful of sugar to the rinsing water; this will stiffen and give them the new look after ironing. Clean velvet with gasoline-moistened cornmeal; rub well, repeat until all soil is removed, then brush with a stiff brush. Very delicate velvet can be cleaned with flour and gasoline, making a paste, then proceed as above. White gloves may be cleaned with this same method. A few drops of kerosene on a cloth will keep the bath tub and sink clean. Save all bits of paraffin left from jelly glasses. A small bit added to the hot starch will keep it from sticking when ironing. A piece used with the stove cloth will keep the range shiny and clean; it will also keep it from rusting, if the stove is not in use. Into a pan which has been scorched, place a teaspoonful of soda and cold water to cover. Set on the back part of the stove and the dish will be easily cleaned after standing an hour or two. Buffalo bugs and moths do not enjoy turpentine. Put a small wad of cotton batting moistened with turpentine in boxes or drawers where such insects are found. What you fear, you attract. Eliminating fear does not mean a total lack of caution, but it does mean freedom from that which would hamper and withhold you from success.-Atkinson. SEASONABLE FOODS A most attractive sauce to serve with cold lamb is Green Olive, Mint Sauce.—Take one-fourth of a cupful of vinegar, one-fourth of a cupful of each of orange juice and chopped olives, one tablespoonful of sugar, one-fourth of a cupful of finely minced mint leaves. Let stand after mixing on the back of the range for an hour. Serve cold. MILK Lamb, Oriental Style.—Take one pound of the shoulder of lamb, one-fourth of a cupful of chopped onion, one cupful of lamb broth, two cupfuls of canned tomato, two cupfuls of string beans, pepper, salt and six tablespoonfuls of flour. Cut the lamb in two-inch pieces, brown in a hot, well-greased frying pan, then put into a casserole. Put the fresh beans, onion, tomato, salt and broth onto the meat and cook until tender, well covered. Remove the meat and vegetables to the center of the platter; around this place a border of cooked rice and pour the gravity around the rice. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Bread, Cheese and Custard Dish.—This is a good dish for supper or luncheon: Spread slices of bread with a thin coating of butter and sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Place the bread in a well buttered baking dish. When bread and cheese sufficient to serve the family is placed pour over a custard, using a pint of milk, two eggs and a bit of salt and paprika. Dust the top of the dish thickly with paprika and bake in a moderate oven until the custard is set. Serve hot from the dish. Properly baked this dish will be like a puffy omelet. Chopped Steak en Casserole.—Put two cupfuls of finely chopped steak in a well-buttered casserole, season with celery salt, salt, pepper, mushrooms and tomato catup or Worcestershire. Surround the steak with rice, pour over two cupfuls of boiling water and hake for an hour and a half in a moderate oven. Keep covered while cooking. Serve with tomato sauce or brown gravy. Chicken Terraplin.—Chop one cold roast chicken and one parbelled sweetbread fine. Make a cupful of rich white sauce with cream and four tablespoorfuls each of butter and flour cooked together. Add the chicken and sweetbread, cut into pieces, season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it heat over hot water for fifteen minutes and just before serving add the yolks of two eggs well beaten and one-fourth cupful of orange juice. Nellie Macree (©, 1923, Western Newspaper Union.)

COOKING AIDS AND RECIPES Cottonseed products, oleo, or suet, any of the hard vegetable fats, may be used for making puff paste. To make it, use half as much fat by weight as flour, with a quarter teaspoonful of salt and one-eighth teaspoonful of baking powder to each cupful of flour. Proceed as in making the usual puff paste. be used for making puff paste. To make it, use half as much fat by weight as flour, with a quarter teaspoonful of salt and one-eighth teaspoonful of baking powder to each cupful of flour. Proceed as in making the usual puff paste. The fact that these may be used will not keep us from using good flavored butter for such dainties when we can afford it, as butter gives a texture and flavor that other fats lack. Cooked celery, white sauce and cheese, baked in a well-buttered baking dish, covered with buttered crumbs and served from the dish makes a most tasty and wholesome dish. Blackberry Farina.—Hent one quart of canned blackberries with their juice in a double-boiler, then add gradually one cupful of farina, stirring carefully and cook for fifty minutes. Pour into a mold in cold water and when cold serve with cream and sugar. Combination Salad.—Slice very thin one large avocado, add the same amount of cold boiled potatoes also sliced thin, onion and parsley and two hard-boiled eggs, sliced. Season with paprika, oil and vinegar. Hungarian Dish.—Cut up into small pieces a pound of lean beef, one good-sized onion and one carrot. Season with salt and paprika. Into a casserole place two cupfuls of barley which has been washed and soaked for four hours in four cupfuls of boiling water poured over it. Turn water and barley into the casserole with the meat and vegetables. Cover and bake in a moderate oven for four hours, or better, in a fireless cooker six to eight hours. Supper Salad.—Take two cupfuls of finely minced celery, two canned pimentoes, two cupfuls of boiled rice, one hard-cooked egg, one cupful of salad dressing, and six stuffed olives. Mix the celery and rice and two tablespoonfuls of minced pimento with half of the salad dressing. Line a shallow bowl with lettuce, cover with the salad and decorate with pimento, sliced olives and egg cut into slices. Garnish the edges with celery tops. Bonnyclabber.—Nothing is more wholesome as dessert for child or adult than sour milk thick, rich and firm, sprinkled with brown sugar and eaten well chilled. Add a little cinnamon to the sugar in which doughnuts or crullers are rolled; it improves the flavor. Many have knowledge and still fall to accomplish. Ability to apply knowledge is the necessary factor for success. Future has placed nothing so high that virtuous effort cannot reach it. Quintius Rufus. EVERYDAY FOOD Some one has said that "knowledge in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wis- d o m." Common foods served in uncommon ways may be a work of culinary art. Cheese Milk Toast. — Prepare toast, butter it world carts was do m." Common foods served in uncommon ways may be a work of culinary art. Cheese Milk Toast. — Prepare toast, butter it well and place on a deep chop platter. Into a saucepan put two tablespoonfuls of butter and two of flour, stir and cook until well-blended, then add three cupfuls of milk; cook until smooth and thick as cream, season with a dash of cayenne, two tablespoonfuls of grated Roquefort and a little salt. Pour over the buttered toast and serve at once. Spanish Lima Beans.—Take two cupfuls of beans and soak over night in water to cover, then cook until tender, adding salt. Remove the seed and veins from a chill pepper and boil until the pulp can be scraped from the skin; if canned, the cooking will not be necessary. Chop one onion and fry it in a tablespoonful of fat, add the pepper pulp, one-half cupful of stewed tomatoes and the beans. Cook all together five minutes. Raisin Pie.—Take the grated rind and juice of two lemons, the grated rind and juice of one orange, one cupful of light brown sugar, two cupfuls of seeded raisins, one and one-fourth cupfuls of water, one cupful of coarsely-chopped walnut meats; cook until boiling hot, then stir in three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch which has been mixed with a small amount of water. Bake between two crusts. Gypsy Stew.—Take a few small new carrots cut in slices, six small onions, a cupful of peas, cook until tender, add a slice of pork diced and browned and milk to make of the consistency to serve as stew. Season well and serve hot. Spanish Salad.—Take one cupful of diced cooked chicken, one cupful of diced cucumber, one cupful of walnut meats broken in bits, one cupful of cooked peas, mix with a boiled dressing and serve on lettuce.
