VOL. XXX (Lincoln News Service.) Washington, Feb. 1, 1924—Back in the year 1890, Henry Cabot Lodge, a new member in the House of Representatives, from Massachusetts, introduced what is known as the "Force Bill," a measure to amend and supplement the election laws of the United States, and to provide for a more efficient enforcement of such laws." The bill was intended to suppress direct or indirect nullification of national laws, and was calculated to protect the citizenship rights of colored voters, at that time, were being intimidated and shot down by their "best friends" in certain sections of the country, whenever they attempted to cast their ballots. The proposed legislation evoked the bitter criticism of the Democrats, and through a series of acrimonious debates the bloody shirt was hoisted again and again in the halls of Congress. Important general legislation was delayed and the country was thrown into political turmoil, merely because Republican leaders thought it time to protect, through adequate legislation, the citizenship rights of oneenth of the country's population. The bill passed the House but was tabled in the Senate by a fusion with Democrats of five insurgent Republicans who were more interested in free-colonage currency legislation than in human rights. And today, after a lapse of thirty-four years we have a similar legislative situation with the same heroic Lodge, now a senator, again introducing a Republican enforcement measure that will protect our citizenship. And again, are his efforts threatened by a band of insurgent Republicans who are voting with the Democrats on affairs that unfavorably effect the legislative program of their party. Assuming that the Democrats and insurgents are sincere in their protestations for a strict enforcement of the prohibition and women's suffrage amendments, Senator Lodge has, with the backing of the regular Republican organization, wisely included in the bill enforcement measures for the Fifteenth Amendment, and we shall soon learn whether history is to repeat itself. The bill which follows was introduced by Senator Lodge on Jan. 7, 1924. "S. 1771 A BILL To provide for the enforcement of the Fifteenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, Whoever shall for beverage purposes manufacture, sell, transport, import, or export intoxicating liquor within, into, or from the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof shall for a first offense be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not exceeding six months, and for a second or subsequent offense shall be fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,000 and be imprisoned not less than six months nor more than five years, and such liquor shall be forfeited to the United States. Sec. 2. Whoever shall deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States or any state to vote on account of race, color, sex, or previous condition of servitude shall for a first offense, be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not exceeding six months, State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House R THE ONLY RELIANCE COLORA Repeat Itself? or for a second or subsequent offense shall be fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,000 and be imprisoned not less than one month nor more than five years, and such person shall be denied the right of suffrage in any state or national election Sec. 3. All laws inconsistent with section 1 or section 2 of this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 4. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after the passage and approval of this act." Roland Hayes Sings for Otto H. Kahn in His Home New York, Jan. 25.—Roland Hayes, the remarkable American tenor, who for three years has won reputation as an artist in European capitals and who last season in London sang "by command" at Buckingham Palace before King George, made his first private appearance in a Fifth Ave. mansion last week, following several public concerts in New York, of which he gives but one more before sailing abroad early in February. He sang on the present occasion to the guests of Otto H. Kahn, chairman of the Metropolitan Opera board, and Mrs. Kahn, at their home at Fifth Ave. and 92nd St. He shared a joint program with Mine. Marya Freund, soprano, a niece of Sir George Henschel of London, first conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra many years ago. By request of the hostess, Hayes sang the impressive air, "When I Am Laid in Earth," from the "oldest English opera," Purcell's "Dido and Aenaes," recently performed here by Metropolitan stars for the Society of Friends of Music. He added songs in German by Schubert and other classic composers, and in conclusion a group of American Negro "spirituals." ASKS SENATE FOR FUNERAL OF HICKMAN ASKS SENATE FOR FUNERAL OF HICKMAN Washington, Jan. 25.—The Senate was asked to pay the funeral expenses of John Hickman, known as "John the Barber," who had for many years dispensed shaves, haircuts and shampoos to senators of the United States. A resolution sponsored by Senator Charles Curtis, Republican of Kansas, would pay $1,200 as a memoriam to his family. The record of Mr. Hickman, who was formerly a slave, was one of constancy. He came to the Senate in 1865, just as the Civil War ended and remained until he died, a few months ago. The length of his service, 58 years, has never been exceeded among Senate employees. John was barbering in the Capitol before 10 of the present states had entered the Union. He attended every senator who ever served from the states of Colorado, Idaho, North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming, except the new members seated last March. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 Mme. Walker's Gift Goes to Help Students at Tuskegee Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 25.—Tuskegee Institute, through its principal, is the recipient of a substantial donation from the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, Ind. This check comes as an unusual benefaction of the company, as begun by its founder, the late Mme. C. J. Walker. Scholarships for seven worthy students are made possible by the gift, and Ernest Martin, formerly of an Indianapolis orphanage, a deserving student here, shares generously this part of the Walker company's benefience. Dr. Moton, commenting on the gift, said: "We are indeed glad to have this money, and assure them of our appreciation of this gift, which will do a great deal of good in helping worthy students." President Coolidge Will Receive Houston Martyr Petition February 7 N. A. A. C. P. Announces Petition Has 120,000 Signatures President Coolidge has appointed February 7, as the day on which he will receive a delegation of colored citizens to present the petition with 120,000 signatures, asking for pardon of the 54 members of the 24th Infantry still imprisoned for their alleged share in the Houston Riot of 1917. The signatures were gathered by the N. A. A. C. P., with the co-operation of colored newspapers, churches, lodges, fraternal bodies and other individuals and groups. The delegation will be received at the White House at noon on the day appointed. The N. A. A. C. P. is now arranging for a committee of 50 representative organizations and individuals to sponsor the presentation. The White House has limited the delegation actually making the presentation to ten people, who will act for the whole committee. The names of individuals and organizations making up the whole committee of 50 will accompany the petition and will be made public. The delegation of ten will represent as adequately as possible the organizations participating in this effort. It is hoped also that one or more influential members of Congress may accompany the delegation to the White House. Workman to Get $8,000 for Injury New York, Jan. 25.—Elgie Allen, 30 West 135th St., a longshoreman, was awarded a verdict of $8,000 by a jury before Supreme Court Justice Mahoney. In a complaint filed by Abraham Oberstein, 261 Broadway, attorney for Allen, it was alleged Allen fell into the hold of the steamship Charles M. Cramp Aug. 29, 1921, and broke his right leg because the cover was negligently left off the hatch. Suit was brought against the Old Dominion Steamship Company for $10,000. His verdict is regarded as unusually large for a simple facture of a limb. Allen is 36 years old and married. He has fully recovered and walks without a limp. Mrs. J. E. Spingarn Gives N. A. A. C. P. $1,000 Check to Meet P. G. Peabody's Offer Amy E. Spingarn, wife of J. E. Spingarn, treasurer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and member of its Board of Directors, has presented the organization with a check for $1,000 to meet the offer of Philip G. Peabody of Boston. Mr. Peabody offered $1,000, if the N. A. A. C. P. could raise an additional $9,000 in a period of 60 days, the final date set being March 10, 1924. Mrs. Spingarn has for many years been a generous contributor to the work of the N. A. A. C. P. SHORT CUTS We have 12,660 female barbers, hairdressers and manicurists. A New York Democrat has introduced another Race Commission Bill. Norfolk, Va., now leads Richmond in the number of colored inhabitants. The Bishop with the golden cross will probably receive a political double-cross. Our business men are experiencing difficulty in finding trained young men and women. The whole continent of Africa has only three independent states, Egypt, Abyssinia and Liberia. Mr. S. E. Parker, a progressive colored business man of Richmond, Va., has opened a new bakery. Accomac county, Virginia, produces more sweet potatoes and yams than any other county in the United States. The "Modernists" are no longer singing that familiar hymn, "The Old-time Religion Is Good Enough for Me." Several 'modernist' colored bandits recently held up a Kansas City bank and escaped with $44,500 instead of an old pair of trousers. An educational commission has gone to East Africa to examine into the educational needs of the natives from a religious, social, hygienic and economic point of view. A modern new brick business block, erected by George Andrews, a colored man of Bells, Texas, provides stores shops and offices for business men of his group. We are waiting to hear of some "colored Democrat," who aspires to attend the Democratic national convention at New York in the capacity of a delegate-at-large, or even as an alternate. The State of Georgia, with a colored population greater than the combined population (all classes) of Delaware, New Hampshire, Nevada and Vermont, is the only state having more than 1,000,000 colored inhabitants. 6. WASHINGTON LETTER ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC BISHOP (Lincoln News Service.) Washington, Feb. 1, 1924.—Following in the wake of the meeting of the Democratic national committee, which successfully auctioned the national convention to the New York bidders, comes a colored bishop, who, failing to profit by the mistakes made by the late and lamented Bishop Alexander Walters, issues an appeal to the voters of our group to desert the Republican party at the coming national election. Unlike the modest and learned Bishop Walters, whose splendid church work in the A. M. E. Zion organization gave him the respect, the good will and the following of thousands of colored people, this new Democratic torchbearer, Bishop George Alexander Maguire, of the African Orthodox Church, nearly four years old and with nearly two thousand members, decorates himself with the regalia of his office, a large cross of gold and a red rabbi, attends the sessions of the nullifiers of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and, after the show is over has the droll effrontery to give out a statement to the effect that "the Democratic party's platform always has been broad enough for our feet" and that "there never has been a time since we came into possession of the rights of men when we could not have entered its portals and found warrant for doing so." Having directed his attention more to spiritual than to political affairs, the good bishop has failed to familiarize himself with the national policies of the party for which he is beating cymbals, and it is the general opinion that our clever but misguided Democratic friend of Indianapolis has influenced the bishop of the projection on a sensitized plate of an enlarged image of a Negro Democrat wielding national power—the same optical illusion that broke the heart of Bishop Walters, nearly destroyed Maj. Patterson's usefulness to his race, and made misanthropes out of other ambitious and intelligent race men, who, in their eagerness to be of service, overlooked the important fact that whenever the Democratic party is in power it is ruled with an iron hand by the "Negro-baiters" of the "Solid South." But whether in or out of power, this controlling element of the national Democratic organization, with utter disregard for party success or for the advice of northern leaders, preaches the doctrine of hate on all occasions and further emphasizes its deep-seated prejudice by the introduction in Congress of bills, the enactment of which would retard our progress and make us serfs in this land of our birth, whose institutions we love. Bishop Maguire, whose name is slightly misleading, should have made a trip through the South, either with or without his cross of gold, before issuing his appeal. He should not have assumed that conditions in New York or Chicago are typical of those obtaining in other sections of the country; and while in Washington he should have secured copies of some of the offensive bills that have been introduced by his Democratic friends. Equipped with such information it is reasonable to believe that the hypnotized bishop would come out of his trance and confine his Democratic activities to local Tammany affairs. Par NO.16. ty evils, not unlike church evils, should be corrected from within rather than from without; and it is exceedingly unfortunate for the African Orthodox Church that the good bishop has permitted himself to be led astray by a bunch of practising politicians, whose chief purpose in life is to connect with a payroll. The good bishop should keep in mind the old saying that "It is better to seek the fountain than to follow the stream," especially if the stream is polluted. Cheyenne, Wyo. News Messrs. Robert Johnson and William Stanley have recovered from recent illness. Mrs. Elizabeth Horn has returned from Lucas, Kas., where she went to visit relatives. Joseph, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lewis, 2016 Ames street, has recovered from illness. Sammie, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bard, is feeling much better. Mesdames H. C. Green, J. Randle, B.

A Leap Year banquet at the Second Baptist Church on January 24 was a social and financial success. We had the pleasure of extending the hand welcome to one of our old residents and "Bills," Mr. William ("Dollar Bill") Smith of Casper, Wyo., who spent the week end visiting Mrs. Gertrude Baylor Smith. He was highly entertained. Mrs. Thelma Perry was hostess at a very dainty breakfast. The honored guests were Mr. and Mrs. Dan Saunders, Mesdames L. Duplessis, G. Smith and Miss Mayme Bost. Mrs. Duplessis entertained the same guests with a dainty luncheon. A few of the "Bills" of Cheyenne held a "stag" prior to the departure of Mr. William Smith. Mr. Smith retaliated with selections of latest jazzy hits. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Saunders and Miss Mayme Bost are leaving for Pocatello, Idaho., en route to the coast. Mr. George Hayes has recovered from recent illness. Rev, J. S. Williams, pastor of Salem Baptist Church, Omaha, Neb., will conduct revival service at the Second Baptist Church ten days, commencing Monday, February 18. The churches of Cheyenne every Saturday broadcast a welcome to you to join in Sunday worship. An hour a week passed in the House of God is stimulus to the soul that can't be purchased with money. It's the cheapest investment you can make. An hour's communion with God may alter the course of your whole life. It costs you only an hour of your time to put yourself to the test. PARTY LINES ARE MOSTLY WIPED OUT FACTIONS SUPPLANT POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS, TO THE DISTRESS OF LEADERS. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—The situation in congress this winter resembles that in many of the legislative bodies of Europe. In the place of two well-outlined political parties striving for the mastery, there are really six or seven schools of thought represented in both houses, and each is striving for the domination of its own economic and legislative ideas. Party names this year seem to matter nothing. The old lines of demarcation between the Republicans and the Democrats for the present at least seem largely to have been wiped out. States rights and to a less degree protection vs. free trade are in limbo. There are scores of Republicans who seem to feel legislatively just as a score or two of Democrats feel. Then there are some Republicans so-called, and some Democrats, so-called, whose feelings are alike and entirely different from those of other groups in all matters pertaining not only to ultimate legislation but to the means of securing it. Efforts at leadership in both houses and in both parties is like the attempts at shepherding of the guardians of a flock of sheep of which the constituent members seem to be headstrong in their attempts to get through the fence on one side, to jump into the river on a second, or possibly to tumble down a precipe on a third, while ignoring the side leading to the pasture of peace, concord and presumed plenty. Disturbing to the Leaders. Not long ago Secretary of Commerce Hoover wrote a letter to William Allen White touching on the danger of this tendency to coalition in congress between the parties and parts of parties. In his letter the secretary dwelt upon the similarity of conditions abroad and those in the congress of the United States at the present time. Mr. Hoover is not the only prominent one in official life who has called attention to the same thing. It is known that the Democratic party leaders outside of congress are immensely disturbed over the condition, fearing that it means damage to the party, and it also is known that Republican national committeemen and others also are anxious over the possible outcome of the divisions in their party ranks in house and senate. Both Democratic and Republican politicians who are not in congress are asking themselves how really solid party endeavor can be stressed in convention platforms when the endeavors have been not of parties, but of factions within parties. Each party organization is anxious to go before the people next summer with something constructive to presale and with a record of construction, attempted at least, to prove that it is the intention in the future to complete the plan and thereby to deserve the thanks of the voters. The Democrats have one legislative plan to lower taxes, the Republicans have another and certain factions in both parties have others. What is going to come out of it nobody knows. Peace Plan and the Senate. In the senate the so-called irreconcilables on international matters still are declaring openly that the Edward Bok peace plan has killed all chance that the Harding World court membership proposal can be enacted into law. The irreconcilables go farther than this and say that the plan not only killed the World court plan, but has put the League of Nations, so far as American participation therein is concerned, on a mountain ledge that cannot be reached by the most enthusiastic scaler of peaks. Are these things that the reconfirables say true? Naturally enough they seemingly form their opinions on the subject of the future of the plan from the reception which it has received in partisan circles in Washington. Washington is not the United States, although congressmen seem to take it for granted that the voice of the cloakroom is the voice of the country. A referendum is being taken on the Bok peace plan. Opponents of the League of Nations and anything pertaining thereto say that the referendum will result in dust-panning the plan. However, they probably will know better after a little thought. The seemingly saner thinkers here believe that the result of the referendum will be approval of the plan and yet they know that this will not and cannot make it certain that the country en masse gives its approval to the presented scheme to bring about peace. Opponents Lose Interest. The friends of a movement intended to make peace take up permanent lodging in the world are not decrying themselves as to the effect of the pronouncement on the present plan which is likely to come as the result of a referendum. They know, as well as opponents of the plan know, that the people who are enthusiastic for anything are the people who respond to the call for voting. The opponents of anything touching the League of Nations, or at least those of them who are outside of the circles of political partisanship, have, to a considerable extent, lost interest in the matter. It is not expected that they will respond in great numbers to the referendum appeal. The result, therefore, natural- ly, as even friends of the plan view it, will be an endorsement for the proposed Bok endeavor. This view of the case, the view of friends of the plan, is given in order that the ordinary layman espouser of the proposal shall not take the result of the referendum too seriously. The proponents of the plan know well enough that the senate as at present constituted never will give endorsement to the plan after it has been put in resolution, bill or treaty form for submission to congress. The supporters of the plan here in Washington and who give voice on the subject, therefore, seemingly want it to be known that they have no great hope that congress will give its endorsement, no matter what the referendum may seem to show. Real Referendum at the Polls. So far as the Washington viewpoint is concerned, it seems that the referendum on a World court and on a gradual approach to a direct way into the League of Nations, is to be held next summer and fall—that is in the election. The feeling of the friends of a modified Woodrow Wilson plan seems to be that a change has come in the country since the election of 1920 and that today there are hundreds of thousands of voters who, in a sort of despair because Europe cannot get straightened out any other way, now are willing that something shall be tried to bring order out of disorder, even if once they objected to the trial of anything that looked as if it might lead into the field of European troubles. It is not determined yet definitely whether the senators actually will endorse a resolution of inquiry to determine whether or not the Bok peace plan competition was instituted for the purpose of coercing the senate of the United States. Of course everybody here knows that such an inquiry would prove nothing, and that the very suggestion of it is simply a mark of resentment that anybody should have the temerity to attempt to try to find out whether the American people are in favor of something which some of their representatives in the senate look on with hatred. It would be something of a blow to the self love of a good many senators if they should be made to know that the humble ones who sent them to the senate do not hold them to be infallible because of their high place. Some days have passed since the Bok peace plan was made public. The senate, in part, has done nothing but attempt to pour contempt on Mr. Bok's pride of achievement. The wish, of course, is father to the thought that the plan will not amount to anything. It is held here as certain that it will take a referendum result of Niagaralike power to move the irreconcilables from their place of antagonism. Patriots Vs. Yellow Students. In round numbers there are 75,000 officers of the Reserve corps of the United States. Probably ninety-five per cent of these officers served during the great war and by expressing their willingness to stay in the reserve they simply served notice that their patriotism is of a kind which make them willing to serve again in case of their country's need. There is an organization called the Reserve Officers' Association of the United States with headquarters in Washington, of which John Ross Delafield, bradigler general in the Reserve corps, is the president. This association, composed as it is of men who have served, and self-sacrificingly are willing to serve again, is looking with dismay and disgust—disgust is the word—on the action of a group of several hundred delegates to a recent convention of an organization of students of the United States who, after their convention was over, as a minority insisted that a meeting should be called later to discuss the question of whether or not the students of America should pledge themselves to refuse in the future to aid in the prosecution of war, either directly or indirectly. The members of the Reserve corps are civilians and not professional soldiers. They are in every walk of life. Through the president of the association has gone a telegram of protest to Dr. Joseph C. Robbins, chairman of the recent convention of students, saying that those delegates to the convention who insisted that a meeting should be called to discuss the question given above were guilty of treason to their country. Denounced by Delafield. Now it must not be understood that this convention of students which was held recently endorsed the plea of many of the delegates that a pledge should be taken to refrain from any act of helpfulness in a war in which their country might become engaged. The main body of the delegates declined to consider the thing, but there were several hundred of them who over the protest of the convention's chairman, called a meeting to be held on Armistice Day, 1924, for the express purpose of discussing the question given. It is known that virtually every one of the young men who demanded that this meeting be held is of a mind to refuse any kind of aid to his country in the day of its possible peril. In the telegram, signed by Genera Delafield, to the chairman of the students' convention this among other things is said: "I wish to state that every patriot citizen condemns men or groups of men who have pledged themselves not to join in the defense of their country and its people as guilty of treason and such men are viewed with the contempt that Benedict Arnold faced not only in America, but also in England where he died in exile." RESIGNATION OF DENBY ASKED SENATE RESOLUTION DEMANDS ANNULMENT OF NAVY OIL LEASES VOTE TO VOID LEASES BITTER FIGHT WAGED IN EFFORT TO OUST SECRETARY OF NAVY Washington.—The resolution demanding the resignation of Secretary Denby was taken up by the Senate after it had passed unanimously the Walsh resolution proposing annulment of the Sinclair and Doheny oil leases. The Walsh resolution directs the President to proceed with suits to annul the leases. Final action was taken after all efforts to modify the language of the resolution, so as to eliminate direct charges that the leases were entered into without authority and in violation of the law had been voted down. The vote was unanimous on the final roll call. Eighty-eight senators cast their ballots. Washington.—The Walsh oil lease annulment resolution, as adopted by the Senate, follows. "Whereas, It appears from evidence taken by the committee on public lands and surveys of the United States Senate that certain lease of naval reserve No. 3 in the state of Wyoming, bearing date of April 7, 1922, made in form by the government of the United States, through Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior, and Edwin Denby, secretary of the navy, as lessor, to the Mammoth Oil Company, as lessee, and that certain contract between the government of the United States and the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Company, dated April 25, 1922, signed by Edward C. Finney, acting secretary of the navy, relating among other things, to the construction of oil tanks at Pearl Harbor, T. H., and that certain lease of naval reserve No. 1 in the state of California, bearing date Dec. 11, 1922, made in form by the government of the United States through Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior, and Edwin Denby, secretary of the navy, as lessor, to the Pan-American Petroleum Company as lessee, were executed under circumstances indicating fraud and corruption; and. "Whereas, the said leases and contract were entered into without authority on the part of the officers purporting to act in the execution of the same for the United States and in violation of the laws of Congress; and "Whereas, such leases and contract were made in defiance of the settled policy of the government adhered to through three successive administrations, to maintain in the ground a great reserve supply of oil adequate to the needs of the navy in any emergency threatening the national security: "Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that the said leases and contract are against the public interest, and that the lands embraced therein should be recovered and held for the purpose to which they were dedicated; and "Resolved, further, that the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, authorized and directed immediately to cause suit to be instituted and prosecuted for the annulment and cancellation of the said leases and contract and all contracts, incidental or supplemental thereto, to enjoin the further extraction of oil from said reserves under said leases or from the territory covered by the same, to secure any further appropriate relief, and to prosecute such other actions or proceedings, civil and criminal, as may be warranted by the facts in relation to the making of the said leases and contract. "And the President is further authorized and directed to appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, special counsel who shall have charge and control of the prosecution of such litigation, anything in the statutes touching the powers of the attorney general or the Department of Justice to the contrary notwithstanding." Crazed Man Slays Four Kloten, N. D.—Four people fell victims of a slayer's revolver here when Albert Larson shot and killed his wife, two sisters, Emma and Helen Quanbeck, and his brother-in-law, Olaf Arneson. The latter was killed when he attempted to rescue the two women after hearing their screams. Larson took his little daughter and, mounting a horse, disappeared. Police Chief Accused of Murder Boulder, Colo.—Chief of Police Claude Head of Boulder, and Norman Drake, are charged with the murder of Patrolman Elmer Cobb, a member of the Boulder department, who was shot to death on Nov. 19, 1923, in an information filed in the local District Court by District Attorney Louis B. Reed. The charges are the aftermath of a "tip" that Head and Drake were alleged to have been overheard planning the death of the patrolman the night before his murder. Y. M. C. A. NOTES General Secretary Ira E. Lute had a very interesting meeting with the building committee last week. The meeting was held in order that the committee might fully know just what was being done towards getting the work started on the new building. With the bids for them Mr. Lute explained the many difficulties and obstacles which they had met, and the efforts being made to overcome them. He was of the opinion, however, that work would be started within the next few weeks. Patience and common sense must be exercised in all big undertakings such as this. After two months' time we are again mailing letter to our subscribers who have not yet finished their pledges. We trust this appeal will meet with a ready response in view of the fact that our building operation will begin very shortly and every dollar will be needed to carry it on to completion. A large crowd was in attendance at the meeting last Sunday afternoon to hear the Rev. George L. Prince, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, who spoke on "Christ as a Panacea for All Ils." Dr. Prince's address was able and logical, pointing out that the life of Jesus Christ was the only one after which one could safely pattern his own life. The devotional part of the program was led by the Rev. John E. Allen. The Hi-Y boys defeated the Christ M. E. Church "Five" in a swift game of basketball at the gymnasium of the City Bath house last Wednesday afternoon. Score, 10 to 6. The Scott Hornets defeated the Shorter Bearcats in a baseball game on Saturday afternoon. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will also be held at New Hope Baptist Church. Father William O'Ryan (a Catholic) will be the speaker. Father O'Ryan is a great friend of our people, and will have a message appropriate to the occasion. Meeting will be opened promptly at 4 o'clock and will be open to everybody.

JOSEPH CARTER Express, Moving and Storage Coal and Wood 2415 WASHINGTON STREET PROMPT DELIVERY Phone Main 6544 Normal train service has been restored through Great Britain, following settlement of the strike of locomotive engineers and firemen. The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced in London recently that it will spend $10,000 in the erection of a "cenotaph" at "Hyde Park corner in memory of the Birds, Beasts and Fishes" who gave their lives for the empire during the war. The fish referred to are gold fish killed in the gas tests. Sun Yat-Sen, south China leader, cabled greetings and an appeal for a new British policy toward China, to Ramsay Macdonald, England's new premier. Recently Sun cabled Macdonald, as leader of the British Labor party, asking the support of British labor in Sun's long campaign against the Peking government. English visitors in the leading hotels of St. Moritz, Switzerland, aroused at the profligacy of German visitors, who reserve the best suites and spend money like water, have forced the management of the two leading hotels to affix signs in the lobbles reading: "Germans—Pay your debts and nourish your children first. Afterwards you can enter here." The town of Esperanza, considered the most important strategic position on the railway between the capital and Vera Cruz, and described as the key to Ortizaba, was captured by the federal forces under General Martinez, according to an official statement made in Mexico City by Under Secretary of War Manzo. The statement was based on advices received from Minister of War Serrano at Pueblo. Soviet Russia will be ruled in the immediate future by a triumvirate composed of Leo Kamenev, third vice president of the council of People's commissaries; M. Rykov, second vice president, and M. T. Tsurupa, commissar for inspection of workers and peasants' councils, according to a Moscow dispatch to the London Evening News, quoting George Tchitcherin, People's commissar for foreign affairs. Theophile Braga, 80, former President of Portugal, was found dead in his residence in Lisbon a few days ago. Dr. Braga was one of the leaders in the Republican movement which resulted in the revolution of 1910 and the dethronement of King Manuel, and was the first man to head the Portuguese Republican government. He served as provisional president from October 5, 1910, to Aug. 4 of the next year and was also the second duly elected president, succeeding Dr. Mamoel de Arriaga, in May, 1915. GENERAL Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate and lessee of the Teapot dome, denied in a cablegram from Paris to the Senate public lands committee in Washington that he had ever given money to ex-Secretary of the Interior Fall. Col. J. W. Zevely, Sinclair's counsel, previously testified he had loaned Fall $25,000 in Liberty bonds which he received from Sinclair. Fifteen persons met death in a terrific gas and dynamite explosion that demolished a double house owned by the Manville mills at Cumberland, R. I. An entire family—mother, father and eleven children—was wiped out by the blast. A boarder died with them. Michael Conway, in whose home the explosion occurred, died in the ruins. It was learned from neighbors that Adelard Hamel, who was killed with his family, had 200 pounds of dynamite in his home. Agricultural production in the federal reserve district comprising the states of the Pacific slope increased in volume substantially during 1925, it was stated in San Francisco, in the report of Federal Reserve Agent John Perrin to the Federal Reserve Board. The report says the year was marked by "steady employment of practically all kinds of workers, a lower rate of labor turnover and improved industrial relations. Employment in most of the major industries of the district increased as compared with 1922." The French peace plan contest for prizes totaling 200,000 francs, promises to attract as much attention in France as the Bok contest did in America, judging from the responses received by the contest committee headed by Leon Bourgeois. Bert R. Chapman of Boston surrendered to the federal authorities in Boston on an indictment returned by the federal grand jury in Los Angeles last October charging him and twenty-two others with conspiracy in connection with a million-dollar mail truck robbery in the California city in March, 1921. Chapman's arrest revealed that $300,000 worth of bonds stolen from the mails at that time have been recovered here. Mrs. Blanche Tiernan, figure in the sensational paternity case at South Bend, Ind., and second wife for a time of Professor John Tiernan, escaped prosecution on a bad check charge at Marble Rock, Iowa, by the simple expedient of paying cash. Sheriff Ruhl, upon returning to Vinton, Ind., from Marble Rock, said he had dropped the charge against Mrs. Tiernan when she paid for the alleged bad check and costs, amounting to $68.75. Thirteen years ago Mrs. Amanda Moore Harding, wife of W. P. G. Harding and mother of Miss Margaret Harding, whose mysterious suicide is causing widespread comment in Boston, shot and killed herself in their palatial home in Birmingham, Ala. With the removal of five bodies from the workings all the men who were in the Lancashire mine at Shanktown, Pa., of the Barnes and Tucker Coal Company at the time of the explosion were accounted for. The death list totals thirty-six. Twelve men were saved. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND WESTERN The Roman Catholic society of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, operating twelve schools in Oregon with an enrollment of 2,000, recently filed a brief in an attack on the compulsory public school attendance law, now before the Federal Court. A startling assertion by Clarence Conlin, attorney for Horace A. Greer, chauffeur for Mabel Normand, charged with having shot and wounded Courtland S. Dines, that Greer may not have done the shooting, despite his confession to police, injected a new sensation into the Los Angeles case. The Sinclair Oil Company's pipe for conveying oil from the Wyoming fields through Nebraska was completed at Kearney when a link across the Platte river there was finished. The line runs south from Kearney, finally connecting at Fremont, Mo., with the Oklahoma-Chicago pipe line. Millions of barrels of crude oil would be required to develop power equaling that going to waste every year through failure to develop the power resources of the Colorado river, Harry Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times, declared before the California Development Association convention in Coronado, near San Diego. Three banks in Silver City, N. M., closed their doors last week. They were the Silver City National, the Silver City Savings bank and the American National bank. Soon after the close of the banks the state bank examiner was asked to take charge of the Bank of Tyrone, N. M. The institutions, all in Grant county, had combined liabilities estimated at $3,000,000, according to their statements of Dec. 31 last. Opening to homestead and desert land entry of 14,455 acres of public land in Washakie and Big Horn counties, Wyoming, beginning Feb. 20, has been announced at the Interior Department at Washington. Adjoining entrymen and patentees have a preference right on the tracts within the area and ex-service men of the World war have a ninety-one day preference, after which unentered land will be thrown open to the general public. The champlon eater of Lander county, Nevada, Leon Battalago, is dead. The only patient in the Lander county hospital for a year, Battalago seemed to think that every meal was his last one. A breakfast or eight or ten eggs, half a loaf of bread, four or five cups of coffee, topped off with fifteen to twenty hot cakes, was common. The heavy eater also was a heavyweight, tipping the scales at 300 pounds. The county physician said death was due to overeating. WASHINGTON Nearly $750,000,000 is carried in the annual supply bill for the Treasury and Postoffice Departments, reported by the House appropriation committee. The exact amount is $729,858,451, an increase of $18,476,889 over total appropriations for the two departments for the current fiscal year, but $5,447,606 less than budget estimates. President Coolidge for the first time affixed his signature to a bill passed by Congress. It was an act giving Mrs. Florence Kling Harding, widow of the late President, the congressional franking privilege—so that she can use the United States malls without the payment of postage. The right of a state to prevent national banks within its borders from establishing branch banking establishments was upheld by the Supreme Court, which at the same time ruled that the same prohibition was contained in the federal statutes themselves. The court's decision, which settles a controversy that has shaken the banking world for many months, was handed down in the case of the First National Bank of St. Louis. The bank had demurred from a Missouri state law prohibiting it from establishing branches, and, losing in the lower Federal Court, had appealed. The decision of the lower court was affirmed. A rate of 25 per cent for the reduction in earned income taxes was definitely decided upon by the House ways and means committee. Recognition of earned income taxes for special reduction, as suggested by Secretary Mellon, was approved yesterday by the committee. Representative Garner of Texas, author of the Democratic tax plan, proposed that the reduction rate be placed at 331-3 per cent. Federal agents in their efforts last year to enforce the prohibition and narcotic laws spent $205,638 of government funds in buying "evidence." This total was given by Assistant Prohibition Commissioner Jones in testimony before the House appropriation committee, which recommended that $10,628,770 be set aside for prohibition enforcement during the coming fiscal year Boulder.—The Colorado Editorial Association has been invited to conduct its midsummer meeting in Boulder. The invitation was sent by the Chamber of Commerce. Boulder.—A coroner's jury here absolved Motorman Ben Atkinson of any blame in the tram car-railroad crash Sunday in which Mrs. Lena C. Browning was killed and several others injured. Denver.—Seventy-five manufacturers of the state will maintain exhibits at the annual industrial exposition of the Colorado Manufacturers' Association to be held in the City Auditorium, Feb. 18 to 23. Colorado Springs.—Earl G. Pruitt, foreman in charge of the oil and gasoline division of a local motor company, was so seriously burned at his home when he started a fire with kerosene that he died at a local hospital where he was taken. Fort Collins.-Gas from the huge Wellington gasser was used for fuel for drilling at the Union Oil Company's well on the Fort Collins dome, eleven miles away, when traps to separate the oil from the gas were tested near the gasser and the gas allowed to enter the pipe line between the two locations. Denver.-After the removal of a million dollars and $8,302,368 assets through Denver streets, the Denver National Bank consolidated with the Hamilton National, and the Home Savings and Merchants banks, a consolidation of the Merchants' Bank and the Home Savings and Trust Company opened their doors for business as two larger banking institutions. Pagosa Springs.—Pagosa Springs experienced another disastrous fire when the grade and high school building and all equipment were destroyed by fire of unknown origin. Only the brick walls of the building remain. The loss is estimated at $50,000, $21,000 of which is covered by insurance. The building is two-story high with ten rooms and a basement. Denver.—Patrick Byrnes, publisher of the Pueblo Indicator, was unanimously elected president of the Colorado Editorial Association in the closing session of a two-day convention here. Other officers elected were John M. Green, Colorado Springs, editor of the El Paso County Farm News, as vice president, and George T. Haubrich, Denver, re-elected as secretary-treasurer. Denver.—The Denver Tourist Bureau is out to raise $150,000 for advertising Colorado and Denver, nationally, and to make 1924 bigger than 1923, which topped all previous records by bringing travel returns of $45,500,000 to the various interests in the state. The campaign for funds, which has met with the approval of the Presidents' Round Table Club, will be held from Jan. 28 to Feb. 2. Golden.—Arthur H. Mitchell, Denver plumber, was sentenced to hang by Judge Samuel W. Johnson in District Court here, after the court had overruled a motion for a retrial of Mitchell on charges of killing Mrs. Georgia A. Bryan and Andrew Sherie in the early morning of Oct. 23, 1923, in the Sherie ranch house following a drunken party. The court set the date of the hanging for March 18 to 24. Telluride.—Returning to his home for the first time since he disappeared last fall, and as his six children, 13 months to 14 years old, looked on in terror, William H. Chick, 35, a rancher, sixty miles west of here, shot and killed his wife in their ranch home, and then turned the weapon upon himself. He fired five shots at Mrs. Chick, saving the last one in the revolver for himself. Denver.—Police Inspector John D. Coughlin of New York City announced that $86,200 of the $300,000 worth of jewels stolen from Mrs. C. P. Hugo Schoellkopf of Buffalo, in the early morning hours of Jan. 1, 1923, after a New Year party, were found in Denver in a sealed fruit jar. Denver.—C. O. Stiles of Pueblo was elected president of the Associated Retail Credit Bureaus of Colorado and Wyoming, at the closing session of the two-day conference of credit bureau secretaries here. Other officers elected for the coming year were Frank Field of Greeley, vice president; Charles M. Reed of Denver, secretary-treasurer; William H. DeVere of Cheyenne, director, and H. H. Wolbert of Delta, director. Castle Rock.—Six coaches of Denver & Rio Grande passenger train No. 3, southbound, were derailed at Orsa, five miles north of Castle Rock, when the wheels of the first car left the tracks at a switch. Traffic was delayed about four hours. The derailment was due to either spread rails or a split switch, according to railroad officials at Castle Rock. The six coaches left the rails but stood upright and did not leave the ties. Fort Collins.-The Alex Simpson Jr. Construction Company of Denver has been awarded the contract for the erection of a new high school building in Fort Collins with a bid of $350,000, and construction will be begun immediately. The building will be the largest structure of its kind in northern Colorado. Fort Morgan.-The local lodge of Elks has matched Teddy Gartin, the Omaha welterweight, to meet Bobby Corbett of Colorado Springs in a ten round bout at 147 pounds here Tuesday, Feb. 5. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Denver.—Rentals and fees on state school lands for the last half of the state's fiscal year, which ended Nov. 31, 1923, amounting to $353,905.74, will be distributed among the sixty-three counties, it was announced by Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of public instruction. Denver county will receive $65,082. Twelve counties which are unable to pay the minimum salaries allotted teachers by county levy will receive $72,448 for apportionment to make up the deficit. Counties which will receive some of the larger apportionments are: Adams, $4,048; Arapahoe, $4,097; Boulder, $8.878; El Paso, $12,136; Jefferson, $4.328; Larimer, $9,097; Las Animas, $13,502; Pueblo, $17,875, and Weld, $15,509. Loveland.—Stockholders in the Dry Creek Oil company here believe that the drill in their test well, eight miles west, has tapped the oil-bearing sand. At a depth of 1,400 feet the bit in some manner stuck at the bottom of the well, and the rope was broken in an attempt to dislodge the drill. The rope, when taken from the well, looked like it had been soaked in oil, and drillers at the well said that there was little question but that the hole is standing full of oil to a level within 500 feet of the surface. Las Animas.—Another crop may be added to the southeastern part of Colorado if experiments in cotton to be made this season prove profitable. Baca county farmers are going to put in fifty acres of cotton this season, according to reports. But this spring will see the first actual planting of cotton in the Arkansas valley in this state. C. R. Briggs, a homesteader on the dry lands twenty-five miles south from Las Animas, will put in ten acres of cotton. Pueblo—The Pueblo Commerce Club issued a statement to the effect that while during the next three years approximately three and a half millions of dollars will be expended for conservancy district improvements here, there are enough men within forty or fifty miles of Pueblo to do all the work required and that employment agencies in other cities were doing an injustice to other men in urging them to come to Pueblo for employment at this time. Estes Park.—Preparations are being made to entertain the national convention of Delta Gamma, college sorority, next June. Between 400 and 500 members of the organization from all parts of the United States are expected to attend. Mrs. Nan Brown Woollett of Evanston, Ill., a graduate of the University of Colorado, is national president of the organization. The Colorado chapter of the sorority, including the alumnae of Denver, are to be hostesses. Cripple Creek.—An ore find giving indications of being the richest discovery made in the Cresson mine in several years was uncovered on the eighteenth, or bottom, level of the mine last week. Grab samples of the ore taken out run from $28 to $60 to the ton gold, with indications that the value will steadily increase as drifting continues. The face of the breast in the present drift is well streaked with sylvanite and runs rich in values. Trinidad.—Recognition as the oldest resident in the United States might have rightfully belonged to Mrs. Robeta, Pineda Marez, it was announced upon her death at her home at Segundo, Colo., last week. Her household records indicated that she was 135 years old. The same data states that she was born in Mexico in 1789 and that she removed to what is now the state of New Mexico in 1831, coming to Colorado in 1911. Colorado Springs.—"The prohibition movement is a complete failure," declared Jim Goodheart, minister of the gospel and director of public welfare of the city of Denver, in an interview here. Goodheart, who is sole trustee of the Sunshine Mission, declared that "a man will fall for a bribe or whisky much more quickly than he will for a bribe of money." Denver.—All records for the number of head of live stock sold and the gross amount of money changing hands were broken during the 1924 National Western Stock Show, according to figures compiled and announced by Joseph Shoemaker, manager of the Denver Union Stockyards Company. "Cattle sales were the largest ever recorded during a stock show in Denver," said Shoemaker. "Thirty thousand cattle changed hands during Stock Show week. The average price paid, including prize winning stock, the ordinary run of stock and the culls, was $48 a head. Greeley.—A group of Denver and northern Colorado attorneys have volunteered their services in a legal battle to restore the sugar beet factory at Fort Morgan, now operated as the Independent Sugar Company, to the stockholders of the Industrial company. If the plan to wrest the sugar company falls, an attempt will be made to buy the Independent company at a price not lower than $4 a share. These plans were discussed in detail at a meeting of 100 stockholders of the Industrial company at the court house here last week. Cripple Creek—The half-million-dollar damage suit of the Beaver Water and Irrigation Company against the Arkansas Railroad, Light and Power Company, trial of which was halted after three weeks of testimony to grant a change of venue from the Teller county District Court, will be tried before District Judge Julian H. Moore in Denver next May. According to Denver attorneys, this is one of the very few, if not the first, instance in Colorado where a change of venue has been granted in the midst of the trial of a lawsuit.

This applies to the small as well as to the large transactions, and to individual as well as to gigantic corporations and speculative enterprises. One of the very first things a newly organized business company important is to list its standing and reasons for the extension credit with firms which it must make its purchases. And one of finest things an individual can do is to establish a reputation for dealing and readiness to meet just obligations as a means of obtain credit. Manifestly the credit system can be of great and lasting use on can and often is made the subject of needless abuse. There must at times be a determination to purchase within one's needs and only as a circumstance warrant. A credit too easily obtained may prove a great curse unless carefully guarded, than no credit at all. We have now a growing custom in business circles to make offers of easy credit practically every thing from wearing apparel to jewelry. Without stop to remark upon the apparent need of selling all such articles at prices advanced over those of an established cash system, the material arises from a disposition of many to purchase diamonds when flour needed in the bin, or to come out in a new suit or fur coat when the hair is pressing for consideration. Our tastes for the gorgeous and of finery is sometimes multiplied many times over our income by theibility of buying at so much down and so much per week. On the other hand such a system can be made a positive benefit, and the home may neatly furnished or the personal appearance greatly added to if a course is pursued in the matter of purchases. Then come the larger institutions, the grocery and meat market or department store. These for the part do nominally a cash business, as all purchases for a thirty-day period is regarded the same as cash. But here again abuses creep in that prove one's undoing if a reckless disregard of one's thirty-day income indulged in. The largest and most heavily capitalized firms could long exist if they permitted a credit system to extend to an indebt period. And yet it sometimes happen that an open account is thoroughly misused that one can get in debt far beyond their ability to out in a reasonable time. Thus it becomes the more imperative for count well the cost and the distance before plunging heedlessly buying orgy merely to keep up appearances. True it is being done eday and every month and by every group of people, but that does minimize the necessity of a word of warning and then. Fashion the curse of the age and too many of us become its slaves before we aware. The appetite of today must be satisfied whether the means be satisfied within the time limit or not. The very system is wrong sometimes dangerous. At present state and national executives are being a halt upon public expenditures. We have been going at high ever since the sudden prosperity of the war period, only to awaken to fact that we are today a tax burdened people drawing close to the life of destruction.

Not all that we would have it 'tis true there are broad countless avenues that can and must be entered before our people can come permanently into their own. When we view the recent happenings among the banking institute of Denver when six of the leading banks effected a merger resultin three of the strongest and most formidable financial agencies in the city; when we note the absorption by the Mutual Oil Company of the inental Oil Company, the first Standard Oil unit to pass into the own ship of an independent concern; when we examine carefully the act of the smaller business men and merchants in the combining of their terests and the pooling of their resources which cannot fail to bring success, we find ourselves hailing with delight the privilege of living in day, and seizing the opportunity afforded us to pattern after such exam which are accompanied with lasting and profitable benefits. We cry W HATEVER we may say or do the fact remains that this is still a country of opportunity. Not all that we would have it 'tis true, but there are broad countless avenues that can and must be entered before our people can come permanently into their own. When we view the recent happenings among the banking institutions of Denver when six of the leading banks effected a merger resulting in three of the strongest and most formidable financial agencies in the country; when we note the absorption by the Mutual Oil Company of the Continental Oil Company, the first Standard Oil unit to pass into the ownership of an independent concern; when we examine carefully the actions of the smaller business men and merchants in the combining of their interests and the pooling of their resources which cannot fail to bring them success, we find ourselves hailing with delight the privilege of living in this day, and seizing the opportunity afforded us to pattern after such examples which are accompanied with lasting and profitable benefits. We cry out in the loudest of tones against the injustices that are heaped on us; we, through our representatives—the various organizations that are constantly championing the cause of right and justice, clamor for our civil rights and the protection guaranteed us as citizens under the Constitution; we engage mass meetings, file petitions, carry our grievances to the halls of Congress, even to the presidential chair—these offering an opportunity of which we are not slow to grasp and put into practice for the amelioration of conditions surrounding us. But in spite of this, each day presents something throughout the country, in our immediate environment that points to the way upward and onward, filling us with a ray of hope that proves beyond a doubt if this OPPORTUNITY is to be serviceable to us, then we must necessarily be alive to the obligation attendant with it and measuring up to that extent whereby success is achieved, we cannot fall short of the mark which will crown our efforts alike any banking institution, business firm, oil company or any other phase. THE OBLIGATION—We must be builders, a constructive force in any community. We must be producers besides being consumers. The hard school of experience has taught us the need of owning homes. This lesson Denver has learned and shown itself in a most substantial manner by the number of resident taxpayers enrolled on its list. But what of the capital held by members of our race, that solidarity of support that will make failure impossible and success inevitable whenever it ventures forth? Is there a chance to bring about combination of interests? Is there a hope for consolidation? We venture a reply in the affirmative if our business men will yield to a timely suggestion. Why should we be actually overrun with so many of the same kind of businesses all in a radius of one or two blocks of each other (in the majority of cases in the same block) with a population unequal to the support of all? Why instead of the spirit of the business man's competitor which makes better for the patrons, one observes the spirit of jealousy and hears remarks expressive of failure and loss? Is it due to lack of co-operation, and the tendency to bear the brunt individually or failure to realize the full measuring-up to our obligation and contribution to our success as a whole? We preach the doctrine of co-operation—the same being a convenient safeguard at all times, and with the very striking examples before us in Denver today where the strong is co-operating with the stronger to produce an almost impregnable front, the great with the greater to become invincible so as to withstand all attacks, assaults and invasions, we would again urge our business men and women in whatever sphere they are engaged to grasp the opportunity now, with a firmness bringing about better business relationship between them and the public, and meeting the obligation devolving on them squarely in the face, will unite their forces financially, resulting in a consolidation that not only themselves will be the beneficiaries, but the germ of a great business idea will be developed among their people, to be handed down to posterity, thereby snapping the last link of the chain of oppression which must yield to the pressure that comes from united efforts—the grasping of an opportunity—the living up to an obligation. There Is No Path to Peace Except as the Will of Peoples May Open It By SAMUEL GOMPERS, in New York World. THERE is no path to peace except as the will of peoples may open it. The way to peace is through agreement, not through force. The question then is not of any ambitious general scheme to prevent war, but simply of the constant effort, which is the highest task of statesmanship in relation to every possible cause of strife, to diminish among peoples the disposition to resort to force and to find a just and reasonable basis for accord. If war is outlawed, other means of redress of injuries must be provided. Moreover, few, if any, intend to outlaw self-defense, a right still accorded to individuals under all systems of law. To meet this difficulty, the usual formula is limited to wars of aggression. But justification for war, as recently demonstrated, is ready at hand for those who desire to make war, and there is rarely a case of admitted aggression, or where on each side the cause is not believed to be just by the peoples who support the war. There is a further difficulty that lies deeper. There is no lawgiver for independent states. There is no legislature to impose its will by majority vote, no executive to give effect, even to accepted rules. Great powers agreeing among themselves may indeed hold small powers in check. But who will hold great powers in check when great powers disagree? I believe that we shall be able at no distant day to keep within reasonable limits some of our pressing economic rivalries by fair international agreements in which the self-interest of rivals will submit to mutual restrictions in the furtherance of friendly accord. Don't Talk About Radicalism Among Farmers; the Farmer Is the Balance Wheel By H. C. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture. Talk about radicalism among farmers? If you take the most radical farmer and the most radical candidate from the farmers that any agricultural state ever elected either to their legislature or to congress, either the lower house or the senate, you can find a far more extreme illustration of radical voting in the city of Chicago or in the city of Des Moines or in any other city of the United States than you can in that case. Why, the farmers of the United States founded this government. They have defended this government in every period of national crisis. The farmers of the United States have never started a war, but they have always fought the war through. They furnished, in the last war, 26 per cent of the fighting men and they raised more food than they ever raised before. The farmer is the balance wheel of this nation and in times to come, when you have disturbances in your great cities and when you have real radicalism springing out here and there, it will be the farmer who will put his foot down and settle the matter. Don't talk about radicalism among farmers. The farmer is the last man to be radical in the meaning in which that word is used. "By Jove, I Believe I Could Make a Little Book Out of Those Things—" By LLOYD OSBOURNE, in Scribner's Magazine. It is easy to understand what R. L. S. wrote afterward, that the time he spent in Hyeres was the happiest in his life. He was working hard and well; was gaining recognition and making a fair income; had many irons in the fire, or coming out of it: "Prince Otto," "The Silverado Squatters," "Penny Whistles" (afterward renamed the "Child's Garden of Verse") and many essays that were later to become so famous. It is worth noting perhaps that his ambition for "Prince Otto" was inordinate; some of its chapters he rewrote as many as seven times; of all of his books, save the "Master of Ballantrae"—and later, "Weir"—it was closest to his heart. For the "Child's Garden," on the contrary, which will probably outlive all his work and has entered into the soul of the race, his attitude was more of an indulgent indifference once the poems had been collected. I remember his saying: "By jove, I believe I could make a little book out of those things if I wrote a few more; they are trifling enough, but not without a certain charm." Foundation Principles Upon Which Christianity Transformed Pagan State By REV. WILLIAM A. BOLGER, Notre Dame University. The divine origin of civil authority and the divine origin of individual liberty are the two foundation principles upon which Christianity transformed, and is always and everywhere tending to transform, the pagan into the Christian state. Man is born to live in society. This dictate of common sense from the wise pagan, Aristotle, is the foundation of the divine origin of civil authority. Men are as gregarious as birds or bees. Instinctive, natural needs of rational living drive us to social living. There is no tolerable social living without order; there is no order without law; there is no law without organization having authority to make and power to enforce law. That organization is the state. Hence the state is founded upon the radical needs of human nature, and God, who made us social beings, of necessity wills social living, and the state an indispensable condition of social living, and wills the authority of the state. In a Summary of the Middleman Proposition We Are Up Against This By DR. FRED CLARK, Northwestern School of Commerce. In a summary of the middleman proposition, we are up against this, it seems to me, on the whole proposition: Just so long as we have small manufacturers who cannot market directly, who cannot market directly economically; just so long as we have large manufacturers who haven't the funds with which to market directly or who are handling a narrow line of commodities so that it is not economical to market directly; just so long as you have small retailers who cannot afford to get in touch with the hundreds of possible concerns or sources of supply from whom they could buy; or just so long as it is difficult for manufacturers to get in touch with these small retailers; and, finally, just so long as we have consumers who have got more to do with their time than getting in touch with it, writing to or reading the advertisements of hundreds of manufacturers from whom they might buy, just so long we are going to find a need for the middleman and the middleman's service.

A Quarterly Mailing of Dividend Checks to the 270,000 Stockholders of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. Nationwide Ownership Nationwide Ownership NATIONWIDE in the scope of its service, the Bell System is nationwide also in the distribution of its securities. In street car, at church, at theatre, at grocery store counter you rub elbows with its owners. They differ as widely in occupation and in wealth as do the more than 14,000,000 subscribers served by the system. But as Bell subscribers are united by a common means of inter-communication, so Bell owners are united by a common characteristic—thrift. Other forms of thrift have very properly attracted the savings of thousands of Americans, but none of them more truly illustrates an investment democracy and none more directly serves the public. Two hundred and seventy thousand people have made common property of their savings in order to maintain this great national public utility. Their dollars serve them and serve the nation.

Pastor Last Sunday the People's Church was thrown into the religious atmosphere of its former years of prestige and good work in this community when the new pastor, Rev. C. H. Uggams, was installed as the permanent leader of the flock in the presence of a large number of members and friends of the church. Revs. Hillis, Mons Travis and Williams of the Presbytery of Denver delivered the sermon charge to the pastor and people respectively, and the solemnity of the occasion was enhanced by the interdenomination spirit evinced by the representatives of all the other denominations by the presence of pastors and their congregations. A commendation from the visiting ministers on the singing of the choir and congregation was well merited. Tomorrow the usual services, the special services being at 5 p. m., when the officers of the church will be ordained. A cordial invitation is extended. DEARFIELD, COLORADO WE HAVE no bananas" nor any oil that we know of in Dearfield. But we have some good fertile farm land with oil prospects all around, but we are not selling oil lands or land at oil land prices just now. There may be oil under Dearfield but we have no means to find out whether there is or not, but we do know the land raises the finest pumpskins, squash, beans, corn, potatoes, water-melons, cabbage, tomatoes, and the land also furnishes the finest kind of food for raising poultry, cows, pigs and everything that one can exist upon on the surface of the earth is produced from the sandy soils of Dearfield. Weight of Ostrich Adult ostriches weigh from 150 to 400 pounds, dependent on their breeding and handling, says Nature Magazine. They are taller than the common Indian pony or the average polony, and their long, strong legs are the most interesting features of their physical makeup. eW are selling five, ten and one hundred sixty acre tracts at the same old list price until some geologist goes down four thousand feet below where we are working and finds oil and then, no telling at this time, just what the price will be. If you buy now you will get land at farm prices and we will leave it to you to fix the oil price when oil is assured under your land, but now is the time to buy in Dearfield if you think there is oil there or if you want a good home in the country at a reasonable price where there is a prospect for oil. Their Food in Bark. Chickadees and nuthatches keep trees alive and healthy by eating the eggs and larvae in the crevices of the bark, says Nature Magazine. Many other species of birds will repay whatever of time and thought is given to their needs. Unless birds have healthy trees and shrubs to live in they will desert us. Five acre tracts sell for $350 to $1,000. Ten acre tracts for $500 to $1,500. One hundred sixty acres for $25.00 to $50.00 per acre on payments or cash. Likes the Maples. The American goldfinch likes to live in maple trees, says Nature Magazine. The European goldfinch has been introduced into the neighborhood of New York city and has established itself in Central park. It resembles the American goldfinch in many particulars. Better see us right now and get in on the ground floor before oil is struck in Dearfield. If either of the wells now being drilled near Dearfield should bring in oil all Dearfield lands will be withdrawn from the market as an agricultural proposition. Signed, O. T.

MAYNARD FAGAN WINS PRE- LIMINARY DIVORCE DECREE On last Tuesday, before Judge George A. Luxford of the County Court, the divorce case of William Fa- gan vs. Maynard Fagan, which has been before the court several times in the past year, was called for a final hearing and trial, Mrs, Maynard Fa- gan was represented by Attorney ‘Thos.

LARGELY ATTENDED ‘The membership dinner given at the Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. Ax Wednesday, was one of the most suc- cessful affairs ever held at the home. This was true from the standpoint of enthusiasm, attendance and brillian- cy of the program rendered.

Virginia Dare Mystery Again Recalled Will Hays and His Hollywood Troubles WASHINGTON. — Employing the Official Gazette of the United States patent office for their "sucker lists," fraudulent patent sales and promotion companies have been gathering a rich harvest from guillible inventors each year, it was learned here, when it was made known that the League of American Inventors had enlisted the aid of the post office authorities to combat the evil. The post office probe promises to be nationwide, as the companies already complained of are in nearly every part of the country. Some victims are said to have been "bled" of as much as $4,000 and $5,000 in small payments, each induced by the flattering promises of the companies. Tuesday of each week, the patent office issues its official Gazette, in which are carried the names of each inventor who during the previous week was awarded a patent. This organ the sales and promotion companies obtain and use for their mailing lists. From approximately 100,000 such names each year the lists are kept large and productive. To each successful inventor select- A NEW and perplexing element enters into the selection of the party nominees for the presidency of the United States in the forthcoming campaign. For the first time all the women of the country will have the right to participate in the maneuvers preliminary to the choosing of the standard-bearers in the national conventions. In 20 states preferential presidential primaries will be held in which the women as well as the men will have an opportunity to assert their partisanship and indicate their choice of party leaders. In the other states, including New York, they will have a similar although a more restricted opportunity in delegate primaries or in local conventions. The women voters generally have not had this privilege heretofore because the equal suffrage amendment to the federal Constitution did not become effective until after the national conventions were held in 1920 and only shortly before the presidential election. While women in large numbers did vote for president in 1920, the slates were made up for them before they were enfranchised and they had to accept the nominees the men had selected. Not so this time. DISCOVERY that it was thought might lead to solution of one of the oldest mysteries of American history was made here when a man digging a hole to plant a holly tree unearthed a leaden plate inscribed as follows: "Virginia Dare died here captif pow-haten 1500 Charles R." The inscription apparently referred to Virginia Dare, first white child born on the North American continent, and a member of the lost colony, whose fate has never been solved. Virginia Dare was the granddaughter of Gov. John White and was born one month after the colony on Roanoke Island, now in North Carolina, was founded in 1587. The leaden plate was covered with some substance like wax. Russell Kaufman, who found it, took it to the Smithsonian institution, where the wax was removed. The inscription then became visible. Ten minutes was the time consumed WASHINGTON scribes apoking fun at poor Will Hays! Washington, which has known him so well; Washington whose stolld pulse has never failed to flutter at some new achievement of this boy Napoleon from Sullivan, Ind., feels deeply for Will in his new hour of trial. That he will come through it all right, no one who knows the eternal spring of optimism which bubbles from his radiant soul can ever doubt. It seems a long time since Will Hays was in the cabinet, since he sat in the tower-like building of the Post Office department on Pennsylvania avenue and emitted daily machine gun statements of all that was being accomplished. Will started in to build up the morale of the post office employees. The country was kept posted daily on the uplift, and so great was the admiration of the country that the moving picture magnates came along and offered Mr. Hays the job of improving not the morale but the morals of the movies. It seemed a pleasing prospect at the time. The salary was a whale and the title was to be that of "tear." Napoleon had been only an ed is sent a highly engraved letter stating that the announcement of his success has attracted the attention of the company and that it might sell the rights of his valuable patent on a commission basis. Later a contract is sent to be signed, and in it is found a flattering figure, ostensibly representing the sum for which the company intends selling the invention. The usual 5 per cent commission is included. From time to time thereafter, the inventor is called upon by the company, which asserts the sale of his patent is temporarily delayed, to deposit with the firm money for a "patient abstract," a "prospectus" and other things said to be essential to the sale. The price for each ranges from $10 upward. These fees continue in series until the inventor is gracefully disillusioned, by being told the company was mistaken in its first appraisement and that it cannot sell his article. Sometimes the inventor is neglected entirely. The local headquarters of the inventors' league is swamped with letters from all parts of the country asking its aid in obtaining redress against these companies. The right of the women to take an active part is of no small concern to presidential aspirants, their campaign managers and the political leaders. In both the Republican and Democratic parties there are candidates for the presidency who welcome the advent of the women in the primaries. There are others, avowed or receptive, who undoubtedly would feel safer if they had to deal only with the old system by which the bosses ruled so successfully. In states where the old methods prevail there is little likelihood that the women will exert any greater influence upon the political fixers than the average male voter has been able to do since the creation of the present party system. In the score of strategical states where the primary laws allow the voters to express their will at the polls with the same freedom that they do in general elections, a different situation is presented. There even may be enough votes at stake in this latter group of states to wield a balance of power in both major party national conventions. Just how potent the women will be in these primary states cannot be determined. There are no available statistics upon which a forecast might be based. by Dr. White Hough, head of the division of anthropology of the Smithsonian institution, in effectively breaking the theory that the colonists had been captured by Indians, and upon the death of little Virginia Dare, the first child born in America, "Charles R." had left this tablet over her grave, or how the colony had been frightened from their original settlement and had moved along the Atlantic coast and up the Potomac river to the headquarters of the Powhatan tribe, there to perish. Starting with the figure "9" in "1590," Doctor Hough explained that the person who had made the inscription had failed to follow faithfully the correct formation of the figure, using the modern way of writing it instead of the form it is given in type, that of the figure 6 turned upside down. The rapidity with which he described other discrepancies definitely established the fact that the "historical tablet" was not authentic. emperor. Will was to be a czar! It was a golden opportunity. But Will recked not of Hollywood. It seems that Hollywood was just about ready to erupt when Will took the helm. Maybe the movie magnates knew this and wanted a czar to bear the brunt of it all. In any event, Hollywood blew off with a loud bang. Several times Will has been there to fix things up, and always one promised to be good, oh, so good in the future. Yet Will can hardly set foot on Broadway until the patter of bullets comes flying over the great open spaces from out there where men are men and women are women and chaufeurs are shooters, and everything seems to go wrong. Once more Will is winging his way to the bad lands, and this time he says he is going to clamp the lid down and rivet it on for good. Before long the czar will be dwellling once more on the beauties of life in the movie colony, the chaste atmosphere of the entire place, the refinements of language, the elegance of manners, the delicacies of feeling and above all the great true throbbing love which pervades all and makes all things pure and sweet and wholesome. ```markdown ``` By MARTHA WILLIAMS (C, 1924, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Nineteen average young folk were playing a game. One sat in a chair looking like either an early Christmas martyr or a congress candidate hearing news he has won. This according to the current letter. Players had each to love their love with a letter, no repeats allowed, and keep at it to the end of the alphabet. Not so bad at first—easy to love your love because it is amiable, affectionate, affable, aspiring and so on; likewise to love because of beauty, bounty, blood, breeding, brightness, but as the lovers lengthen there is often agony, as when a pretty girl has to be loved because of her big foot, her bouncing, her buttermilk, her battercakes, her best young man. A budding Adonis may be in even worse case—loved because of his breeches, his baldness, his black eye last Christmas, his bluster, his bad taste, his black looks, bad manners, marksmanship or memory. Fun for the listeners, except when they turn orators, so perhaps after all the game is really worth the candle. Beth did not find it so. She was coquettish, seventeen, pretty as a pink, likewise as sweet, lively yet of a delicate modesty and fathoms deep in love with the new schoolmaster, who had a terrifying degree from his college. By good luck she had got down as far as T without any wholly awful experience. She had been close up head at first—the rule of changing places had put her almost at the end. Thus the gentleman had been loved for his teeth, his truth, his tears, his trousers, his tiptoeing, his tennis, his teasing, his tongue, his tenderness that was winged with a thrice-languishing look, his troubles, his tripping, his two-sing—another glance here—his touch—he was faintly musical—his tractableness, teacherableness, tone, toughness—here whoops of laughter—cudgel her brain as she might only one T word remained unused—desperately she shrilled: "I love my love with a T because—because he has a bad temper." Such a shout over that! It broke up the game, which had grown a bit tedious to those active spirits. The circle broke into pairs and trios which swiftly became clots, whence sounded loud chatter and louder—laughter. "That fool game! I wouldn't play it again for—forty-nine cents," Ab Sexton announced magisterially. Top Wilson tweaked Ab's ear, saying: "No wonder, ol' timer, you're a champion dunce; now I call it a hummer. Wonder what Prexy Ryerson thinks about it? Bet my hat he never was at a play-party before." "Bet two hats he he's been at wusser and wickeder ones," Ab retorted. "But he's got every gal here tonight faded clean as a whistle. Funny how a strange feller, no matter what, can take his pick as long as he stays strange; then get mittens enough to last him two winters. When he's got so well known he's just ordinary middlin." "H'm! You ordinary middlin'?" Top asked musingly. "Son Abner don't be peeved, nor jealous—might spile your beauty if there'd happen a quick freeze. Be a man, even if he has cut you out. Eh, Beth?" turning sharp on a blushing, almost tearful Beth shrinking behind fat Mrs. Dean, her married sister. Before she could answer Ryerson was in front of her saying with a feint of anger: "So you love my bad temper. Oh, Miss Beth! And I thinking you were my best friend here, no less my first." "I—that was—just—the play." Beth stammered, wishing she could evaporate. Ryerson smiled the least bit, but shook his head at her, then drew her hand upon his arm, saying, "Come along. I know how to punish girls that sass the poor teacher. Make them stand by, hungry and watch all the good things get swallowed—that is unless they say 'please' their very prettiest. Then maybe, they can have half portions of anything they want." "Stick ter the half portions, perfesser. Sech a little-bitty creeter ain't got room fer whole ones," a round, very red elder rumbled, pinching Beth's cheek. She slapped his wrists with a pretty pretense of fury; he was her bachelor uncle and chief of that clan that had spoiled her ever since she was born. Miraculously, the earnest efforts had been fruitless. Beth was as full of sunshine as the summer and as comforting as her own smile. Some touch of heaven and infancy lingered in her blue eyes. Stars in sea water, Ryerson called them in his heart. Actually he was but eight years her senior, spiritually they were decades apart. Yet she had taken absolute possession of him at the very first glance, therefore he had held himself hard in her presence. She would be his pupil for a year yet; he must not let her dream he thought of her any otherwise. Above all, he must keep his enthrallment hidden from her world. So half way to the supper table he laid hold upon Sandy Buckner and Davis Carr, saying with a twinkle: "Here's a nice little girl who needs some nice little boys to play with her. Run along, youngsters—and grab the best of everything. Can't learn that too early in the game, if you want to 'get there.'" Beth had nothing of the tragedy queen about her. She played adorably with the boys, though there was a dull hurt deep in her heart. Of course Phillip—so she called him to herself—had had to leave her for older company. But a stab of savage paint shot through her when she saw him walk away with Julia Snow, tall and twenty, and beautifully dressed, hanging affectionately on his arm. Also it did not ease the stab to have Top Wilson say in passing, his eyes following hers: "You had better have loved him for his bad taste, Betsy—I can't stand that bunch o' rags and hair and air, no way I look at it." "But—she is—so—so—stylish," poor Beth faltered. "So sly, you mean," Top said under breath. "She wasn't a bit keen for the game we had—I'll bet my boots, though, she'll try her best to start another before the night's done—and the name of it is—blindfold." It looked a bit like it. All evening Julina managed to keep Ryerson at her elbow. No great feat—cards, like dancing, were forbidden at Hillman parties, the Hillmans being conscientious objectors to both. Conversation was the thing, varied by "speaking pieces" now and again. There, Sonny, the Hillman hope, delighted to oblige. Ab Sexton made his array of shadow-pictures—the rabbit, the ass wagging long ears, the flopping buzzard—all with no more than his two hands. Everybody knew them by heart—notwithstanding laughed at them. But attempts to hang a sheet over a lighted doorway, and let shadow-portraits be thrown on it met with stern reprobation; it was next thing to play-acting. So the company yawned and gossiped till 11 o'clock—then came the bustle of departure. Floods of rain had made quagmiles of clay road—now a crisping wind was making them rougher than rocks. Only stout farm wagons could get safely over them—they were not so bad, heaped with clean, sweet hay, and overflowing with robes and blankets. You sat any way—without scandal to the most critical. Julia had schemed to go in the wagon with Ryerson, but Top Wilson had blocked her game. Top drove the wagon, leaving later—gnomish in humor he might be—yet he had a kind heart. He had sensed Beth's misery, wherefore he bundled her beyond recognition and slapped her down by Ryerson, crying: "Hold this tight. No time for spillin's." Ryerson obeyed. But at his touch the bundle quivered—there came from it a soft, choked sobbing. In half a breath he was holding it tight, searching out its face with tremulous fingers—and when found, kissing it as became a man, whispering between kisses: "My darling baby!" Top overheard in spite of the wagon clatter. Grinning, he chirped in Ryerson's ear: "Blindfold's a fine game—if you get the right sort." To which Ryerson replied: "I know—the sort that takes you straight to heaven." EXPERIMENT WITH. TERRAPIN Biologists at North Carolina Station Learn Many Interesting Things Concerning Them. Experiments carried on at the Beaufort, N. C., biological station in relation to the diamond-back terrapin have been attended by especially interesting results. The information sought, in dealing with thirty small lots of terrapins, concerns the proper care and handling of the young and adult specimens, the best method of hatching the eggs, the result of cross, selective and line breeding, and the longevity of terrapins. A report on the matter reads: "The care and handling of the young have been perfected to the extent that the death rate quite probably is lower during the first year than it is among chickens on the average poultry farm, and after the age of one year is attained the death rate is entirely negligible. "It seems particularly noteworthy, in relation to the longevity of the diamond-back terrapin, that from among the wild terrapins confined when the experiments were first undertaken only one, a female, has died. The ages of these terrapins, of course, are not known. They show no signs of old age except that the carapace has in many cases been worn very smooth; they appear healthy and vigorous and still produce eggs, although not quite as many as they once did. During the summer of 1923, up to September 30, 556 young had been removed from the egg beds provided for a lot of the wild brood terrapins, which now consist of 73 females and 39 males. "Special attention is being devoted to the production of large and fast-growing terrapins." What No Artist Ever Read Two impecunious artists marooned in a distant city, while awaiting funds, were not even able to buy the daily papers. One of them read an old edition continuously for a week. "You must have read that paper very thoroughly, Titian," remarked his companion. "I have. I have probably read what no artist ever read before." "What may that be?" "The business chances." Desperate Measures In his announcement on a Sunday morning the vicar regretted that money was not coming in fast enough—but he was no pessimist. "We have tried," he said, "to raise the necessary money in the usual manner. We have tried honestly. Now we are going to see what a bazaar can do."—Savannah News.

Children Should Have a Regular Allotment of Milk. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) People used to think skim milk was only good for the pigs. The United States Department of Agriculture tells us that except for the butterfat and vitamin A, skim milk is as valuable as other milk. It enriches soups, sauces, or puddings, and may be given to the children if butter is used elsewhere in the diet to make good the loss of the cream. Each child should have its regular allotment of whole milk, but left over skim milk may be given to them in addition. When you have sour milk on hand of course you can always make it into cottage cheese. But it would pay you some day to spend a few hours with your favorite cook book collecting recipes in which sour milk is called for. Look under biscuits, ginger bread, pancakes, muffins, and cakes, and then ask your friends and particularly your friends' grandmothers, for their best sour milk recipes too. RAISIN BREAD MOST WELCOME VARIATION Children Often Eat More if It Is Little Different. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Children will often eat more bread if it is just a little different. Raisin bread is a welcome variation of the staff of life—whether intended to tempt the younger members of the family or to serve for lunch or tea, or at any time when a slightly sweet bread is acceptable. One loaf of raisin bread may be made by using the following ingredients: Raisin Bread. 1 cupful lukewarm 3 to 4 cupfuls sift- liquid (prefer- ably milkful) ¾ cupful seeded 1 teaspoonful salt. 2 table spoonfuls (When liquid sugar. yeast is used, 2 table spoonfuls deduct amount shortening. of it from the ¼ to ½ yeastcake. rest of the liq- or ¾ to 2 table. uid.) 2 tablespoonfuls shortening. Either the "straight dough" or "sponge" method of mixing may be used, the United States Department of Agriculture states. In the first method the dough is mixed at night if the smaller amount of yeast is used or in the morning if the larger amount is to be used. This is a matter of the housewife's convenience. The sponge method of mixing is described in Farmers' Bulletin 1136, "Baking in the Home," which is free on application to the United States Department of Agriculture. The method for making an overnight straight dough is also given in this bulletin. The short process straight dough is given below. Short Process or Straight Dough. Soften the yeast with a small amount of lukewarm liquid. To the rest of the liquid add the salt, sugar and shortening. Add the yeast and mix all together. Measure the sifted flour into a bowl and blend with the liquid. If too soft to knead, add more flour until of the proper consistency. Knead five to ten minutes or until smooth, elastic and no longer sticky. Cover with a lid or plate and place where it will be away from drafts and at a uniform temperature of 80 to 88 degrees F. Let rise until about double its original bulk or until a slight touch of the finger leaves an impression. This should happen within one or two hours if the yeast is in good condition and the temperature right. Cut down the dough from the sides of the bowl and knead. Should the dough be too soft, add flour, a little at a time, kneading until it is smooth, elastic and free from large gas bubbles. If the dough be too stiff, add a little water, working it in well, and knead until the dough no longer sticks to the fingers or bowl. Cover and set aside in the same warm place for an hour or an hour and a half, or until very light and at least double in bulk. When the dough is ready for molding cut down, add the raisins previously dredged with flour, knead them in well, form into loaf shape, and place in greased tin. When quite light, bake in moderate oven about 50 minutes. If desired, the top of the loaf may be brushed with a solution of 1 teaspoonful of sugar in $ \frac{1}{8} $ cupful of milk or hot water, immediately upon removal from the oven. A delicious raisin loaf is made by using one-half graham and one-half white flour in the above recipe. New Aluminum Process A new method of manufacturing aluminum, whereby clay is mixed with pyrites and heated to about 500 centigrade, has been invented in Germany. Won't Boil Over Always add a small piece of butter to milk puddings when cooking them, as this not only improves the taste but prevents the pudding from boiling over. Substantial Salads (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Starchy vegetables—white potatoes, sweet potatoes, dasheens, or rice—with or without green or raw vegetables, make substantial salads, which with cold meat make the main course at lunch or supper. There are innumerable ways of using cooked meat, fish, poultry or eggs for salads, and for adding cheese flavor, especially cottage or cream cheese, to other materials. Flgs, prunes, or peppers may be stuffed with cottage or cream cheese and served on lettuce A woman pouring a bowl of pasta. Preparing an Appetizing Salad for Noonday Meal, with mayonnaise dressing. Balls of cheese rolled in nuts or mixed with pimento may be added to pineapple or any mixed fruit salad. Lean meat is good if boiled, cut up hot into blocks, mixed with chopped onion, celery, peppers or other savory vegetables, then seasoned with French dressing and packed under a weight in a cold place for several hours before being served on lettuce. Fish salads offer one of the best means of serving such canned foods as salmon, tuna fish, and sardines, or leftovers of fish meat, crab meat, lobster or shrimp. Plan to Cook Sheep or Calves' Tongues An appetizing and unusual dish may be prepared when several sheep's or calves' tongues are obtainable at one time, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Here is the recipe: Sheep's Tongues. into small pieces 2 slices bacon 3 slices bacon pickles, chopped Salt and pepper 6 sheep's tongues into small pieces 2 carrots cut into 2 slices bacon small pieces 3 small cucumber 1 pint boiling water pickles, chopped 1 large onion cut Salt and pepper Scald the tongues, throw them into cold water, and remove the skins. Cover the bottom of a baking dish with bacon cut into fine strips, place over this the tongues, season with salt and pepper, and cover with another layer of sliced bacon. Add the minced carrots and onion, salt and pepper to taste, and about a pint of boiling water or broth. Cover the dish and cook slowly for about three hours. Take out the tongues and place them on a hot dish, strain the sauce, reheat, add three small cucumber pickles, sliced thin. Stir well and let the sauce boil up once. Pour over the tongues and serve. Cranberry and Raisin Pie Mix three cupfuls of cranberries and one cupful of seeded raisins together. Stir two tablespoonfuls of flour with two cupfuls of sugar, add two cupfuls of boiling water, then the fruit, a pinch of salt and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Bake in two crusts. Question not, but live and labor, Till your goal be won. Helping every feeble neighbor, Seeking help from none. Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone: Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own. DISHES OF MERIT When it is hard to think of anything different for dessert try using a can of peaches or pears. Take one-half of a pear or peach, place on a round of cake, cut out with a biscuit cutter, pour over a little of the canned juice. or peaches or pears. Take one-half of a pear or peach, place on a round of cake, cut out with a biscuit cutter, pour over a little of the canned juice, sprinkle with chopped nuts and top with sweetened whipped cream. Cheese Pie.—To one cupful of cream cheese, pressed through a sieve, add a tablespoonful of sugar, the juice and rind of a lemon, a tablespoonful of butter melted, the yolks of two eggs lightly beaten and the stiffly beaten whites folded in at the last. Salt to taste and bake in one crust. A nice supper dish may be prepared by pouring a batter over pork sausages and baking them in the oven. Try out a little of the surplus fat if it is too much. For the batter use the Yorkshire pudding—one cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour, two well-beaten eggs and a teaspoonful of salt. If the fat which is tried out is poured over the pudding when partly done it adds to the flavor. Oriental Cream.—Soak a tablespoonful of gelatin in one-fourth of a cupful of water, dissolve in one-fourth of a cupful of hot milk and add half a cupful of sugar, set into a pan of cold water and stir until it begins to thicken. Then add the whites of two eggs beaten stiff, one-third of a cupful each of dates and figs chopped and a half-pint of whipped cream. Turn into a mold and chill thoroughly. Sunrise Cake.—Cream one-half cupful of butter, add one cupful of sugar, when well mixed the yolks of six eggs, part of half of a cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour sifted with two teapoonfuls of baking powder; add the rest of the milk and beat well with a large egg beater until light and foamy. Flavor with one-half teaspoonful each of lemon and vanilla. Bake in a loaf and lee with lemon frosting. If this cake is to be baked in small gem pans, cut down one-fourth of a cup of flour. If you can't get to be uncommon through going straight, you'll never get to do it through being crooked.—Dickens. COMPANY DISHES A plain pumpkin pie is good enough for anybody, but an occasional frill will only make it more alluring. Pipe it with whipped cream and a bit of chopped canton ginger, or whipped cream stirred with a few table- more alluring Pipe it with whipped cream and a bit of chopped canton ginger, or whipped cream stirred with a few tablespoonfuls of snappy grated cheese. Chestnut Croquettes—Boll, blanch and pound a quart of chestnuts; to the paste add one cupful of rice, one half cupful of cracker crumbs, two tablespoonfuls of cream or melted butter, two beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of celery salt, a few dashes of paprika and red pepper and a teaspoonful of peanut butter. Combine all the ingredients and form into balls; dip into deep hot fat and brown delicately. Stuffing for Turkey or Duck.—Drain one can of asprugus tips, add one cupful of chopped hard cooked eggs, one small onion chopped and browned in two tablespoonfuls of butter, two cupfuls of bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste. Mix and moisten with cream to make the dressing of the right consistency. Stuff the day before roasting, as the fowl is much better seasoned. Fruit Sherbet.—Pass a can of apricots through a sleeve, add one pint of sweet cider or apple sauce, add one cupful of cranberry juice, the juice of one lemon, and three oranges, one cupful of heavy cream and sugar to sweeten. Freeze to a soft mush, add two well-beaten egg whites, beat up well and pack in ice and salt for two to three hours. Serve in glasses with a spoonful of whipped cream to which vanilla has been added for flavor. Top each with candied cranberries. Frangipane Tarts.—Place a halved peach in a pastry shell, fill the cavities with chopped almonds and surround with shredded coconut. To the juice from the peaches add the juice and grated rind of two lemons and simmer until thick, adding some sugar. Pour this sirup over the peaches. Top with a meringue, or a marshmallow placed on each peach and brown in a slow oven. Whipped cream may be served instead of either, if preferred. Rechaffeuse of Beef, Creole Style.—Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add a tablespoonful each of minced onion and green pepper, cook until tender; add three tablespoonfuls of flour, a cupful of broth, one-half cupful of tomato purée, one-half teaspoonful each of salt and grated horseradish, one teaspoonful of lemon juice and two cupfuls of cooked meat diced. Serve in a border of rice. Nellie Maxwell The Kitchen Cabinet (19, 1954, Western Newspaper Club) And jelly rolls and the bakery cart Hobbling its way from house to mart. WINTER SPECIALTIES The fireless cooker is just as useful for the busy housewife in the winter as in the summer. A meal may be prepared, put to cook and left for several hours with no further attention. If a dish needs to simmer one hot stone placed in the bottom of the cook- A meal may be prepared, put to cook and left for several hours with no further attention. If a dish needs to simmer one hot stone placed in the bottom of the cooker will be sufficient; for faster cooking, place another on top of the dish. To begin with the beginning, a good, substantial breakfast is needed to sustain one until the noonday meal. A dish of cereal, with top milk or thin cream, following a dish of prunes or a sweet orange, then a dish of cakes, a cup of coffee for the grownups and a glass of milk for the children. Whole wheat right from the farm, if carefully washed and cooked a long time to bring out the flavor, is an ideal breakfast dish. It may be slightly ground, if preferred, but should be soaked over night and cooked by slow heat in the fireless all day, or until perfectly tender. Buckwheat griddle cakes are always enjoyed, if well made. To prepare them take a yeast cake, dissolved in water, using a pint; add enough buckwheat flour to make a rather thick batter; add salt to taste; beat well and set away early in the morning. Set in a warm place at night, and in the morning remove a cupful or more for a starter for the next day; add more water and buckwheat and set away until night. The remainder left in the mixing bowl is used for the morning's cake. Add enough sour milk to make a thin batter; add soda and beat well, then fry as usual. Use all of the batter, as the soda and sour milk will soon spoil the flavor. A bit of sausage or bacon, or a thin slice of ham is always an acceptable breakfast meat, and is especially good with griddle cakes. For a winter dinner or luncheon, or even a supper on a cold night, there is nothing more filling and tasty than a good, hot chowder. True courage is not incompatible with nervousness; and herolism does not mean the absence of fear but the conquest of it.—Van Dyke. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS For a simple, delicious dessert without eggs this is a good one: St. James' Pudding.—Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter; add one-half cupful of molasses, one-half cupful of milk, one and two-thirds cupfuls of ding. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter; add one-half cupful of molasses, one-half cupful of milk, one and two-thirds cupfuls of flour, one-half teaspoonful of soda, a little salt, one-half teaspoonful each of cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and one-half pound of dates, cut into pieces. Steam in pound baking-powder cans for two and one-half hours. Australian Fillet—Pound a fillet of beef flat, rub it well with salt on both sides. Chop one-fourth of a pound of bacon, add three or four boned sardines, mix with pepper, a pinch of ginger and several teaspoonfuls of bread crumbs. Spread this dressing on the meat, roll up and tie. Heat some butter or drippings in a frying pan, put in the meat and brown it on all sides. Add five or six tablespoonfuls of sour cream and heat it a few moments longer over the fire. Cook in a fireless cooker, using two radiators for two hours. Ham With Cream Gravy.—Remove the skin from a slice of ham. Let stand twenty-four hours in good vinegar. Drain and brown in a hot frying pan, adding enough fat to cook, and a little of the vinegar, a sliced onion, ten peppercorns, a chopped carrot, a teaspoonful of capers, a teaspoonful of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of sour cream. Cook slowly two hours. Thicken with flour, adding another tablespoonful of sour cream. Stuffing for Goose or Pig.—Mix together one cupful of boiled chestnuts, one cupful of celery, chopped, one tart apple, also chopped, a small onion, one cupful seeded raisins, a tablespoonful of butter, melted, salt to taste, and enough milk to moisten. Mix lightly and fill the fowl or pig. Bake apple sauce in a stone-covered dish, using brown sugar for sweetening, and see what a delicious sauce will result. Chestnuts In Timbal Cases.—Cook the large chestnuts after shelling and blanching, until they are tender; make a rich white sauce, well seasoned, and serve with the chestnuts in timbal cases. Mountain Dew.—Take one cupful of cracker crumbs, the yolks of three eggs well beaten, one-half cupful of sugar, the juice and rind of a lemon, three cupfuls of milk. Bake twenty minutes. Beat the whites of the eggs, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar spread over the top and bake until brown.

Four Generations of Mountains. The great changes that the earth undergoes may be judged from the fact that four times since geological history began new generations of mountains have arisen in Europe, and there is no reason to suppose that there will not be another.—Indianapolis News. Name of Crabapple. The name crabapple appears to be of Scandinavian origin, and akin to the Swedish "krabbaple," says Nature Magazine. Skeat offers the explanation that the Swedish word is related to the name "krabba," as applied to the sea creature. He adds that application of the word to the fruit was perhaps "from some notion of pinching, in allusion to the extreme sourness of the taste" of the crabapple. In this he finds resemblance to the "pinching" action of the claws of the crustacean. --- Exceptions. Walker Mfg. Co., Inc.

Experience unnecessary. Transportation furnished. Write T. McCaffrey, Supt., St. Louis, Mo. As bats are only rarely seen in the daytime, people, as a rule, know very little about them. When attracted by a light, and a window chances to be open, one will, during the warmer parts of the year, fly in and cause considerable excitement, says Nature Magazine. The best thing to do is to allow it to make its escape uninjured, as the interesting little mammal preys upon no end of harmful insects. Profane Cursing. The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low, that every person of sense and character detests and despiples it.—Washington. Bats' Habits. Brilliant Hats for Mid-Season; Time to Do Children's Sewing THOUGH snow may still be flying and little icicles fringe the window panes, creators of millinery appear to be quite unconscious of them. Winter is not in the minds of designers—their fancies have turned springward. The millinery merry-go-round finds more than four seasons to provide for and just now it is luring us with brilliant headwear to bridge over the time between winter and spring. Nearly all of these new hats are of lustrous fabrics—some of them familiar weaves in silk or satin—but many of them new and specially manufactured for hatmaking. These fabrics are draped over shapes that B7 A M are more intricate and more dignified than the small, close-fitting cloche which has had such a long vogue. Nevertheless they pay tribute to it by continuing to fit the head closely and almost cover the brow. Crowns are growing higher and by spring we may be educated up to a new order of things in shapes. The group of four models shown here is representative of demi-sensor hats. There is a trace of winter styles in the hat at the top made of satin and overlaid with a pattern wrought of fancy braid stitched on. An odd ostrich fancy, with long straggling flues, completes it. The two hats below are made of bright-sur- and dresses made of with tucks, smocking colored threads and plain white net. The frock appears to be the styles for the s with narrow yokes or produced in different ample appears in the made of light-blue vel net at the neck the short split sleeve gests itself as a like dresses of this kind.

In the other hat contrasting colors are used, the drapery in a lighter color than the hat and finished with rhinestone pins. A very beautiful and original adornment distinguishes the little poke bonnet shown at the bottom of the group. Black moire silk in two sections, overlaid with flowers and fruits made of silk almost conceals the shape, but revers turned back at the front allow a glimpse of it. In times of snow prepare for summer so that when it comes there will be leisure to get about and live with it. This is the time of year when --- --- children's departments in the big retail stores and smaller exclusive shops are full of pretty new summertime clothes. Shelves are loaded with summery materials for making them and a leaf has been turned over in the book of styles. In the new page winter is forgotten—it takes up the story of spring and summer things so that mothers may outfit all little ladies under their teens with tub frocks and other garments made of wash materials. Among fabrics fine cotton volle appears to be highly considered for little girls' dresses. It is shown in white and colors, plain and figured. A and dresses made of it are adorned with tucks, smocking and stitchery of colored threads and with frills of plain white net. The English smock frock appears to be the foundation of the styles for the smallest lassies, with narrow yokes or yoke effects introduced in different ways. An example appears in the dress pictured made of light-blue volle with frills of white net at the neck and outlining the short split sleeves. Dimity suggests itself as a likely material for dresses of this kind. No matter how airy and sheer the material used, dresses for little ones often have knickers to match, to be worn instead of petticoats and many ```markdown ``` gingham or other play dresses have matching knickers. For tiny boys suspender suits of white, natural and colored linens worn over white dimity waists are very practical as well as pretty and there are strong cotton weaves for the same purpose. The popular pattern companies have patterns for suits and for rompers. The latter are compelling more and more attention for all little folks—including babies of six months and upward. The pretty bonnet shown in the illustration is a successful little homemade affair. It can be imagined with a cap of white dotted swiss as a foundation having a frill of plaited lace about the face and overlaid with two ruffles of volle like the dress. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
