SENTENCE OF 10 NEGROES SOLDIERS COMMUTED BY THE PRESIDENT
Washington,--President Wilson has commuted the death sentences imposed on ten Negroes, who took part in the Houston Texas, riots a year ago, to life imprisonment. The second court-martial resulted in death sentences being given to sixteen men. Six of these men, on the face of the evidence presented, were found guilty and the President did not change their sentences.
Thirteen were previously executed as a result of the first court-martial. In commenting on the case, the President said: "I commute the remaining sentences because I believe the lesson of this lawless riot will have been adequately pointed out by the action already taken and also because I desire the clemency here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service to the country of which they are citizens and for the liberty of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle."
Hen. Julian H. Moore, who has made an enviable record as a fair and square Judge. He must be elected.
WHAT A NOBODY DID
"The Black Nobody Hero." The sight this caption over the second column on the first page of a leading daily paper in the world's most peculiar demoncrartc city caused me to peruse the report and then to wonder what really makes a somebody. Why be a some body when a nobody can "pull a stunt" such as Griffin Hatcher pulled before an onrushing train to save the lives of two babies? While lying critically injured in a hospital he revived sufficiently to say, "I tried to save them both," them re-lapsed into unconsciousness
If any old Negro picked up any old place along a railroad would on impulse swallow the dark past and ignore the shady future of his racial economic status around these parts and deliver the supreme test of friendship, what might not a well trained, well read, some body Negro do?

NEGRO BALL PLAYERS IN FRANCE STOP GAME TO STAND AT SALUTE FOR "MARSELLAISE"
The Negro stevedores were playing baseball in France—playing it tooth and nail—without a thought for anything else in the world. They hadn't been so wrapped up in anything since they landed in France.
Suddenly, on the fringe of the thick, noisy, black line of rooters across the outfield, men began to turn their backs on the game, stiffly standing at attention. Over their heads, from the direction of the band, came faint but thrilling music, to which they automatically fitted words:
"Io arms, ye brave, to arms!
We'll form battalions strong,
"Attention!" shouted the big Negro soldier who, but a moment before had been trying to rattle the pitcher. More men, were straightening, stiffly erect. The runner, ten feet off second base, spun half a turn on his heel. The pitcher dropped the ball and the batter his stick. Even the "ump" was called to silence. The catcher was standing, elbow crooked, and with his black hand to the forehead of his wire mask. The Marseillaise had hushed the great American game!
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE
The enemy heavily shelled towns in the Woevre sector behind our lines this morning. One of his patrols attacked the American outpost, but was easily driven off. There was considerable patrol activity in the Vosges district last night. One en counter took place, the enemy retiring with one wounded man. Colored troops have occupied one Vosges village in which French civilians were held prisoners. The French men, on coming thru to the American lines, declared that the Germans were considerably excited in finding them selves opposed by Negroes, of whom they are said to be afraid because of reports that the American colored troops cut, the ears of their prisoners.
The Negro soldiers in this sector recently had an example of German treachery when a German patrol attack after shouting "Kamerad." They are now thoroly determined to have their revenge.
The steel corporation is building 10,000 cottages to house Negroes and 400 to house whites in North Mobile, Ala., where there is a large shipbuilding plant. Bathing beaches for each race and social work of various kinds are being furnished. The Crisis.

PHIPPS AND VAILE WIN BY LANDSLIDE Negroes Stand by Their Friends Star Does Good Work
The Honorable Lawrence C. Phipps, whom the Star had the pleasure to support in full, without trying to carry two buckets of water on one shoulder, so completely buried his erstwhile opponent, Mr C W Waterman that he will not be heard from until the next two years. We claim our share in this big victory for a deserving, well balanced business man, whose prestige and commercial powers can win and hold great monetary investments for Colorado.
The Negroes of this State certainly were loyal and worked aggressively for Mr. Phipps, as he, himself saw to it that the Negroes got their share of work. Unlike others who believed a little sweetened water, with a sugared promise and a good natured smile would pay for your valuable time and effort in their behalf. We praise Mr. Phipps because he was broad enough not To Take ANYTHING FORGRANTED. but checked up everybody and hence he received results. The battle is only half won, his election must be accomplished.
Then we are glad to announce that our good friend Mr. Vaile, another man who, unlike his opponent Boak who thou't that Negroes did not need any cultivation or work, but could be called upon at any moment to serve him, gave the Negro his due share and did not attempt to flatter him where he should give him work and money for his labor. The Star finds that this has been the trouble too often with the Republican managers that they hold the Negroes too cheap. Mr. Vaile, also has just passed one danger mark and now we must elect him to Congress. Gov. Julius C. Gunter, our friend like a manly hero went down to honorable defeat in favor of one of his employes Thomas Tynan. Our friend, James R. Noland, the only State official to recognize a Negro printing shop, was nominated for the Secretary of State.
Hon, Julian Moore was also successful as was Judge C C Butler who decided the "Birth of a Nation" case against the city. We are glad that Robert Harris, the party who continually introduced the "Anti Tipping Bill" in the Senate was defeated, To John W. Hardy and Geo. W. Gross belong no little degree of credit of getting the Negroes together in an organized way. Much deserved recognition was noticed this time, something unusual for the Republicans who still rely on the sop "that we freed you and hence bought you."
The republicans under the leadership of Messrs L. C. Phipps, Wm Vaile and O. H. Shoup, all three strong men, have a golden opportunity to serve Colorado, if the right kind of management can be secured The democrats have repudiated their leader and his administration, so that makes them without a head to lead. The Star still reiterates its position as to sticking by the friends of the race. Remember Negroes that you have no lady clerks, stenographers, nor even any office or position at the Capitol or at Washington to which you may look with pride. We trust that Mr. Shoup will take cognizance of this fact of unequal treatment of the Negro.
Hon. Lawrence C. Phipps, who won the Republican nomination for U. S. Senator. Colorado Negroes, show appreciation for his friendship.
Forty colored men from the South, beyond draft age, have been placed as waiters at Murry's Restaurant, Broad way and Fortv-second Street, New York City.
JUDGE TERRELL TO MAKE A SWING THROUGH WEST
In September Judge Robt. H. Terrel will make a swing through the Middle West delivering patriotic addresses under the auspices of the National Colored Soldier Com. Already dates have been arranged for him at New Castle, Pa., Cleveland, Columbus. Dayton, Toledo, Ohio; and Detroit, Mich., and tentative dates for a number of other cities.
In St. Louis, Mo., a modern schools building with twenty-one rooms is to be devoted entirley to seventh, eight and ninth grade colored pupils. The Sumner High School is accredited by the North Central Association of High Schools and recently has been recognized by the University of Chicago.—The Crisis.
AFRICA CONTAINS ONE-EIGHTH OF WORLD'S POPULATION
No one who realize what a large continent Africa is can doubt the important part it is destined to play in the future. Here are some suggestive facts: Nearly one-fourth of the earth's land surface is comprised within the continent of Africa, and it is as far around the world. Every eight person of the world's population lives in the dark continent. The blacks double their number every forty years and the whites every eighty. There are 843 languages and dialect spoken among the blacks of Africa, but only a few of them are written. One area in Africa unoccupied by missionaries is three times the size of Ohio. Through out Africa there is one missionary for every 133,000 souls.
WONDERFUL PIANIST IN RECITAL AT ZION
The Hagan Recital
Much interest is being manifested in the coming Piano Recital and Concert to be given at Zion Baptist church next Friday evening, September 20th, at which time Miss Helen E Hagan of New Haven, Conn., will make her first appearance before the music lovers of Denver. Miss Hagan was an honor graduate at the Yale Conservatory of music, and won the Sanford Scholarship which gave her two years at th Paris Conservatory of music. It is little wonder, then, that she has the reputation of being one of the best performers on the pianoforte in the country. For this cause she has been selected, with three other young colored women, to go abroad to assist in entertaining the soldiers.
This recital will be under the auspices of the Glee Club of the Y M. C. A. Admission will be 35 cents No one should miss hearing this pleasing young artist of the race. Tickets on sale at office of the Star.
WOMEN WHITE WINGS
Louisville, Ky.—Due to the labor shortage, the board of public works announced last week that it would employ Negro women to clean the city streets. Approximately 100 women will be employed. They will be paid the same wages as the men received if the experiment proves successful.
JOSEPH J. JOHNSON LIBERIAN MINSTER

NINTH CALVARY ARRITES IN RUSSIA
Pittsburg Pa.—It is report ed that the Ninth Cavalry, colored troopers, who were stationed on the Philippine Islands have been sent to Vladivostock, Russia. This shows the value of these men for strategic purposes as they have shown it in the Boxer uprising on the island and in other guerilla war-fare.
SELFISHNESS IS DISLOYALTY
Any person, who seeks honor or personal gain in connection with any war activities is a war profiteer, and is guilty of the wors. form of disloyalty. Every personal sacrifice is a patriotic effort. It is the duty of every honest citizen to do his best to bear the Nation's burden without complaint. this is no time for obstructionists. Those who have grievances may complain, in order that better progress may be made. The slacker and chronic kicker is always a detriment. While petitions of redress to proper authorities will always command respect and investigation, let us not forget that every one is ask to do his share to win this war. There is a satisfaction in having done our duty. There is honor enough for us all, if we do that which is expected of us. The patriot knows no. self-preservation, the profiteer no self-sacrifice.
Hon. Wm. N. Vaile—the man who was nominated and will be elected as our representative in Congress. Negroes believe in him.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE
In the Ypres that are proving effective. One division of colored troops has succeeded in putting to rout nearly 5,000 German soldiers. In their hasty retirement the enemy left long train loads of ammunition and supplies. The German command was surprised at the quickness and daring in which the colored troops have fought their way five miles through the Hun lines, since Sunday. Early today two colored divisions advanced 1,300 yards with an exceedingly small lost. It is a noticeable fact that the Huns fear Amerscan's Blacks Devils because of the fierce manner in which they charge, shouting and singing, mowing down the enemy with their bayonets as they rush onward in spite of the rapid fire of the machine gun and heavy artillery of their toe.

“None of the animals were deemed

was his favorite pace.”

NO LOBSTER AT THAT MEAL
Good and Distinct Reason Why Man Took His Dinner From the Humble Sardine Tin.
A friend of mine is very fond of lobster, but, like many men, has no idea how such food is prepared. His wife had occasion to be absent from home one day last week, and she told the servant girl to broil a lobster for my friend's dinner. She left a note, telling her husband of the treat she had provided for him, and requesting him not to wait dinner for her. He was quite hungry when he reached home and, after regarding the note, said to the servant:
"Is that lobster ready?"
"No, sir, it isn't," said the girl.
"Well, hurry up with it. I'm as hungry as a bear," said he.
"I can't, sir," said the girl. "The mistress said to broil the lobster, and I got him on the gridiron after a dale of fuss. The more I poked the fire the more he walked off, and I thought the bastе was haunted and no good would come from cooking a straddle bug like that."
"What did you do with it?" said my friend, getting mad.
"Faith, the last I saw of him he was going out the back door with his tail up, like the maniac he was."
He had sardines for dinner.—London Mall.
House Oldest in America.
Tradition, indorsed by the press and the testimony of the oldest inhabitants, gives authority to the statement that the oldest house, No. 54 North St. George street, St. Augustine, Fla., is really the oldest house in America. Built by the Dons in medieval times (1589) on the oldest street of what was the site of the Indian village of Seloe, whose chief was Folomato, this ancient house has never been remodeled or modernized. The architecture is of Moorish design, anbedating the Spanish. With its coquina-terrace floors, round carved pillars in the patio, mahogany stairway, hewn red cedar timbers, all pegged together, secret closets and other substantiating hallmarks, it is unlike any other house in St. Augustine, and is truly one of the sights of the ancient city.
Ideal Friendship.
Insincerity may fascinate—but it is not lovable. Only honesty and directness of dealing can win a lasting attachment. Artificial folk are desperately afraid of the picturesquely unconventional actions that they think will make them ridiculous. They are so stiff and starched in their unmannerliness that they are hopelessly uninteresting. Sticklers for etiquette and for the observances of all the minor canons of good form, they find so many petty, silly rules to follow that they have no time to give rein to large and generous impulses. A personality that makes itself count ardently and lastingly in other lives and for the world's well being is too high for spite, too noble for mean, small ways, too genuine for intrigue and innuendo and too faithful to sacrifice a friend.
History of a Star.
The history of a star begins with dust and ends with dust. It takes its form out of chaotic nebulae, passes through a period of life, grows cool, then dark and dead, and ultimately dashes into another dark cloud of star dust, and is thus turned back into nebula.
We on earth live our lives in such a short moment that evolution among the stars is not at once apparent. It would require a great many centuries to actually see a blue sun become white, then yellow, then finally red. While it is not possible to watch any one star living its life, yet by noting the characteristics of a great many a complete and logical chain of evidence may be found, which includes representative stars of every type in the sky.
Its Establishment Can Be Clearly Traced to an Ancient Religious Custom.
The country fair owes its origin to an ancient religious custom. In early days, when Engllsmen observed saints' days, a crowd of worshipers and pilgrims would assemble within the precincts of the church or abbey during the festival of a popular saint. To supply the wants of the throng, tents were pitched, and stalls for provisions set up in the churchyard. Peddlers and traders found many customers among the worshipers, and in course of time these plausible assemblies became marts of trade, and were known as "fairs."
Many odd customs associated with fairs illustrate the social life of other days. The opening of fairs in many towns was announced by hoisting a large glove in a conspicuous place. In the event of a law forbidding the holding of a fair without royal permission, the king would send his glove to the town as a token of his consent.
In Liverpool, a hand was exhibited in front of the town hall ten days before and after each fair day, to signify that no person coming to or going from the fair might be arrested for debt within the town's precincts.
At Paignton fair, Exeter, an immense plum pudding was drawn through the town by four,yoke of oxen and afterward distributed for the crowd. Its ingredients were: 400 pounds of flour, 170 pounds of beef suet, 140 pounds of raisins and 240 eggs. It was boiled in a brewer's copper for three days and nights.
First Quakers.
The first Quakers to land on American soil were Mary Fisher and Ann Austin, who reached Boston in 1656 after a long voyage from England by way of the West Indian island of Barbados. The two women caused great consternation to the Puritans, and George Bishop, in an address to the magistrates, said:
"Two women arriving in your harbor so shock ye, to the everlasting shame of you and of your established order, as if a formidable army had invaded your borders."
The Quaker sect, or Society of Friends, was founded by Fox in 1648, about eight years before the first members reached America on July 11, 1656. Later George Fox visited America. The part played by William Penn and other Quakers in the early history of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is familiar to all students of history.
That Evened Things Up.
One day my two little nieces were discussing which had been with her mother the longer.
"I've been with mother longer than you have," said the elder.
After thinking a few moments her younger sister answered, "Yes, but I've been with God longer." — Chicago Tribune.

We had a letter from him this week and he said that he was enjoying camp life, and on the first Sunday in this month he attended one of the largest Bible classes that he had ever seen and at the present he had a deal of time to devote to the study of his Bible, and wished to be remembered to the members of the church, and B. Y. P. U., and asked for their prayers. Quite a number responded to the call of the Fuel Committee, and we are expecting every member to do their duty along this line.
Don't forget Men's Day the last Sunday in this month; they will have charge of the services all day. Their program will appear later.
Quite a number of the Sunday School teachers were absent last Sunday morning and made it quite inconvenient for a while. The Pastor will preach a special sermon to the children at 11:00 a.m. on the fourth Sunday. Let the parents and guardians come out on that day and encourage the children.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
It was a large crowd that gathered last Sunday afternoon to hear the Ladies' Day program, an event that comes off about once every three months. This was the first for the fall season, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Special vocal selections were rendered by Miss Naomi Brown and Miss Hermione Jones, the latter being accompanied by Mrs. De Frantz McKinley. Of importance also was the presence of the Rev. Mr. Washington, of Roger Williams College, Nashville, Tenn., and Prof. G. W. Henderson, president and founder of Henderson's Business College of Memphis, the only distinctive Colored business school in the country. Prof. Henderson is one of the greatest stenographers and typists in the country, and has also been selected as one of the four-minute men to assist the Government in mobilizing the manpower of the country. Several white friends of his, members of the Bahai Movement, a kind of moral and social cult of Oriental origin, to which Prof. Henderson belongs, were also present, and the Rev. C. A. Williams and Rev. T. S. McMorris.
The sound of mallet and ball has become a favorite one, and some good games have been played. With the return of Chairman L. H. Lightner it is expected some heavy games will be played. Sims was back on the grounds last week, and he and Adolphus Lightner won a hotly-contested game from King and Leslie Lightner, the two latter players also won from Adolphus Lightner and Buford early in the week, but Adolphus and Leslie also won from Kind and L. H. Lightner. Perhaps one of the most neatly played games was one in which Leslie Lightner and Bell severely beat Rev. Williams and Counsellor Blakemore Wednesday evening.
A large program will be rendered next Sunday afternoon. The Rev. A. Wayman Ward will be the principal speaker, with other men also attending the annual conference of the A.M. E. Church. Special vocal music by Mrs. Monroe Conner and Mrs. Beatrice Arnold. Ladies also will be welcome. Program begins at four o'clock.

NEW WHEAT RULES RELEASE AMERICA FROM OLD REGIME
NEW WHEAT RULES RELEASE AMERICA FROM OLD REGIME
As a result of one of the most momentous food conferences ever held in the history of the world, Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator for the United States, upon his return from England, has ordered all past wheat regulations rescinded and has instituted an entirely new wheat program which will be followed by America and the Allies alike, and which became effective September 1. The most outstanding feature of the new regime is the introduction of "Victory" flour. This flour is composed of 80 per cent wheat flour and 20 per cent substitutes, and is mixed at the mills.
Consumers will not be required to purchase this "Victory" flour, but will be allowed to buy pure wheat flour and 20 per cent prescribed substitutes. The Food Administration, however, urges that wherever possible "Victory" flour be utilized. According to the regulations, the new flour must not be sold by miller, wholesaler or retail dealer at any greater price than standard flour. The retail dealer who sells standard wheat flour is required to carry in stock either barley, corn or corn meal flour, to sell as substitutes in the ratio of one pound substitute to four pounds of wheat flour. Pure rye flour or meal may be sold as a substitute, but it must be sold in proportion of at least two pounds of rye to three pounds of wheat.
Millers, retailers, wholesalers and bakers are now allowed to carry a sixty-day supply of flour, instead of the thirty-day supply as before, and the twenty-four-pound limitation on the purchase of flour has been rescinded for both the city and the country consumer. In spite of the fact that the order which allowed each consumer but six pounds per person per month has been revoked, Hoover, in a telegram to Thomas B. Stearns, federal food administrator for Colorado, requested all housewives to continue to conserve flour in a reasonable manner and to use substitute grains as largely as possible. Restriction as to the amount of Victory bread bakers sell to the consumer have been withdrawn, altho the size of the loaf still remains twelve ounces.
"There is still a necessity for continued vigilance in maintaining reasonable conservation of wheat by the reasonable substitutions of other cereals so that the standard of saving may be upheld," declared Mr. Stearns.
"The recent careful survey by the food administrators of the United States, France, England and Italy of the food resources of 220,000,000 peopleighting against Germany shows that to prevent disaster, there must be a conservation of wheat during the coming years," reads Herbert Hoover's most recent statement.
"It has been agreed that the wheat bread of the allies shall contain 20 per cent other grains than wheat, and it is only just that the United States bear their share of the saving, and that our bread should be at least universal with those who are suffering more greatly in the war than we are. Distribution and transportation circumstances in this country make it necessary to rely very largely on voluntary action in our homes to enforce this mixture. 'Victory' bread so made is wholesome and there is no difficulty of preparation. In the new plan, however, there is no intention to displace the large use of corn bread. It is desired to insure supply of ready mixed flours on market and to have millers and dealers of all kinds encourage use and sale of Victory flour so that they may be on a mixed flour basis without the necessity of retailers making combination sales of flour and substitutes."
GROCERY STORES TO CLOSE SUNDAY
Food conservation has clutched another tradition of long standing and made it give in to modern win-the-war methods.
Beginning with September 1, all grocery stores, meat markets, delicatessen stores, bakeries and other retail stores handling groceries, meats, bakery goods, delicatessen, dairy or farm products will close on Sundays, and after 9 o'clock on Saturdays and 6 o'clock other days of the week and holidays.
This ruling does not include shops in which ice creams, candy and fresh milk are sold.
The Sunday closing plan of the United States food administration has been endorsed almost unanimously by all the retail dealers in Colorado. That this measure will not only conserve food, but man power, equipment, fuel, gasoline and oil is the feeling of high state food officials.
WORKING IN UNITY
WORKING IN UNITY
Japan and the United States Exchange Ideas.
Island Empire Owes Its Systems of Technical Education to an American, and in Return Has Taught Us Much.
The arrival here sometime ago of a mission of eight officers of rank and distinguished record from Japan is proof of at least two things. It witnesses to the steadfastness of the national character, in seeking progressiveness as well as progress; and to Japan's purpose to keep in the foreground of invention and achievement, remarks New York Sun. No other nation realizes more keenly that in the rivalry of civilization the old must perpetually be renewed. There can be no standing still.
From the dawn of history Japan has excelled in fine and dainty work. Her museums illustrate the fact that her craftsmen invented and adapted. A little more than a read, not a poetical, "cycle of Cathay," that is, sixty years ago, according to oriental reckoning, the hermit nation suddenly found herself in the market place of the world. Though at first dazed, resources of mind and material were not lacking.
Age-old taste, skill, experience and reserve armies of trained craftsmen were at hand. Foreign teachers conferred no gift of brains or secrets of cunning. They simply pointed out the new paths and taught the modern methods of meeting the nation's needs. As early as 1861-63, after three years' labor, our own Raphael Pumpelly, still among us in vigor, revolutionized mining methods in Japan. When, in 1868, the intense inward political struggles between the old and the new were over, and Japan had a truly national government, the alertness of her people to the new situation supplied a striking feature in the history of modern education.
At a date when In Europe manual and technical training was still new, and among us the Rensselaer Polytechnic school at Troy was a lonely veteran, Yale and Harvard were at beginnings in this form of education, and even the Massachusetts Institute of Technology a baby, Japan had started in the race. Even before the department of education had been created, the necessity of Japan's training her own engineers, chemists and masters of applied science was pointed out to the important government. The newly elaborated scheme dividing the empire into eight great educational districts was, with the curricula, submitted to an American for criticism. He noted the serious defect of no provision for technical education. A long letter outlining courses of technical education and addressed to the Dai Jo Kuan, the supreme council, fell as spark upon powder. The department of education was created and a technological school started simultaneously in Tokyo. The system has ever since that time had a healthful development.
In addition to the eight universities and 37,810 lower schools of all sorts, there are now in operation under the government eighteen technical schools of the higher order, requiring a four years' course after graduation from the middle schools, while those under local or private auspices number many more. It was settled at court, by the United States minister in Yeddo, in the case of Raphael Pumpelly, that an engineer, civil, mining, or mechanical, was a gentleman and eligible to audience of both the president of the United States and the emperor of Japan. Ever since, the official and social status of a man trained to use his hands and brain in unity has been secure in the mikado's empire. At least two score of Americans have received imperial decorations for promoting technical science in Japan.
Nothing but good can come of mutual exchange of ideas. What the Japanese have borrowed from us is in the limelight, and we boost of it; what hundreds of American inventors and seekers for knowledge have found in Japan and taken as loan is cryptic and untrumpeted. Yet our debt is none the less real. It is well for the two civilizations to enrich each other. If, in admiring legend, King Solomon set the mechanic on the throne to signify the basis of his realm's wealth, none the less should both republic and empire honor the technician who unites power of brain and the discipline of education to dexterity of manipulation. Honor to the technical workers of Japan and America!

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign states; a perfect Union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies. I go to fight for my country and I trust that those who remain behind will be as true as we who have gone. If I do not return look after my niece.
(Spooks) Wm. Goff (at Union Station)
Good Bye—Good Luck
I go to put into execution what I have learned in the public schools of Denver. I go to learn how to fight and be fought. Whatever my fate, soon or late, uphold the standard of our race. Wipe all discriminations from the City of Denver and State of Colorado. My folks feel bad; visit them often; cheer them up and encourage the relatives and friends of all of your "drafted boys." I bid old Denver Good Bye. Good Luck and hope I will safely return. Remember my family.
DEMOCRACY
A DEMOCRACY IS FOUNDED UP ON EQUAL RIGHTS. EQUAL DUTIES AND EQUAL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR ALL CITIZENS—EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL: SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO NONE. THAT IS REAL DEMOCRACY.
NEGROES DO YOUR FULL DUTY.
Buy service flags to honor the service of four relatives. Let every Negro display and wear in some form the colors of the United States as a token to honor our drafted boys. If we are going to be patriotic, let us be so. If we are going to do the thing let us do it with all our heart, mind and soul—just 100% American that's all. Attend the patriotic gatherings and follow the boys to the trains. Encourage and boost them.
Whenever any man cares enough about you or your organization that he is willing to subscribe or does subscribe his aid and support, he deserves more than any other man who "gives you lip service and hot air." We know that our candidate, Mr. Phipps, for the U. S. Senate, and Secretary of State Noland, are members of the N. A. A. C. P. What can be said of Mr. Phipps's opponent, and how in any way has he shown any interest in you or I or your affair? Talk, work and vote Phipps and Noland.

VICTORY MATTER OF COURSE
American Advantage In Battle Obvious to the Most Casual Observer of Events.
One of the great assets on the side of the United States in any war is the complete and unbounded confidence of all the people—soldiers and civilians—that we are going to win. No one for a moment has any doubt about that. Some of us feel that we may have to pay a heavy price, but most of us will feel also that it is going to be worth all that it costs.
It is to be noted that this sense of confidence that fills the hearts of the people is not the overconfidence by which great battles are sometimes lost, but rather the consciousness of being in the right and of having the mental and physical force to uphold that right for our own sakes and for the sake of the world. This calm confidence is unquestionably a great American advantage.
The magnificent showing that has been made and always will be made by the American soldier boys thrills the hearts of all loyal citizens. It is inspiring and it warms the heart—but it was not unexpected.

When you take notes let them be brief, sharp. In open order, so a glance will give you a bird's-eye view of your whole scheme. For instance: "John J. Jones—ex-mayor—38 automatic—9 a. m—3446 Wabash—ill-health—12 born Springfield, O.—Cornell—Country Club, Golf Club—$100,000—wife, Maria; children, Mary, John, William—Sunday 2 Trinity—Mt. Evergreen." Make your copy fast, devoid of deadwood like "that" and "which." Pick your own shorthand. For instance, "Nw tm all gd me cm aid prty," or "sldr, btlin, dvsn. emflg trnsprt, Ksr, btleship, arpln."—A.

Don't Pay a Premium for Tailored Apparel
WHEN you view the volume of values in the Globe woolen line and then get down to dollars and cents you will appreciate the real economy of
"NEEDLE MOLDED CLOTHES
THE GLOBE TAILORING CO. CINCINNATI You will discover that you can obtain genuine custom-made clothes, fashioned and fitted to your intimate inches at prices no higher than for ready-mades. The Fabrics will delight the young man of fashion and make the business man look the part.
The historic Society of the Cincinnati, oldest of the American patriotic organizations, was founded by officers of the Continental forces and of the French army and fleet which aided us in gaining our independence at the close of the Revolutionary war, 135 years ago, Washington was its first president general, Hamilton the second, and on its original rolls appear the names of many others who gained fame for their services in the cause of liberty. Its membership, composed of the eldest male descendants of these officers, now numbers about 1,000.
In the study of nature do not try to teach too much in one lesson. Notice first the characteristic features and qualities of whatever is under discussion; let the child examine the object if possible; remember that children are more interested in what things do than in their form.
Let the child examine a little plant, seed and all. Lead him to observe that it does something. It pushes its roots and its stem up; It eats and drinks, breathes, sleeps and wakes. It makes things: Leaves and flowers, seed and fruits. Incidentally, notice the form and color that these activities give to each individual plant.
Nature study need not be dull or difficult; it provides plenty of life and action. It is mostly our own interest that is dead, or our senses that need quickening.
Grasp a few fundamental principles and nature study in the home, in the kindergarten and in the school, will become the children's delight, the teacher's friend, and occupation for the nursery to help start the youngsters in busy work, a daily delight when walking out.

UNIVERSAL DAY OF BAD LUCK
In All Ages Friday Has Been Considered a Period of General Ill Omen.
The French call Friday "Vendredi"
—Venus day.
Scandinavians regard Friday as the luckiest day of the week.
Our ancestors believed that eggs laid on a Friday would cure colic.
"Friday face" still lingers as a term of reproach for a sour-visaged person.
Friday is the United States' lucky day.
Columbus discovered land on that day; the Pilgrims landed on a Friday, and Washington was born on a Friday.
The "unluckiness" of Friday owes its origin, of course, to our Lord Jesus Christ's death on Good Friday.
Friday marriages are "for losses," and superstitious couples who are getting married avoid this day.
Shipping returns of all countries show a much lower sailing rate on Friday than on any other day of the week.
The Talmud, the book containing the civil laws of the ancient Jews says that Adam was created on a Friday, sinned on a Friday, and was thrust out of Eden on a Friday.
Finland's Aristocracy
One of the anomalies of Finland, now struggling for its independence, is that it has inherited a foreign aristocracy, speaking Swedish. How foreign it remains to the true interests of Finland may be seen from the fact that it has all along worked for German intervention in Finland, and even helped to send thousands of young Finns to join the German army. With the importation of German rulers into Finland, the Finnish language will have one more competitor to cut it from the linguistic field, unless Swedish is entirely driven out by the language of the newly arrived supermen.
