Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER State Capitol Ridg History Room XXV No.52 EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS (By John L. Thompson.) Sioux City, the progressive, fast growing city in the great northwest, which is the second largest city in Iowa, is a beautifully located city on the Missouri river. Here lives about 75,000 people, of which about 1,500 are colored and a few Indians. In fact, one can see nearly all nationalities here. We believe that there are more buildings now in course of erection than any city that we have visited. There is a steady increase in the colored immigrants and they are finding employment at good wages, both sexes. There are two churches, the Baptist, presided over by Rev. Crushon, who is ripe by age and experience. He has a large attendance. Then the A. M. E. There are two secret societies, the Masonic Lodge and Odd Fellows, and several ladies clubs, two pool halls, five barber shops, no restaurants. Chas. Watkins has just opened up a first class pool room and a barber shop at 812 Maple St. He is doing well. J. S. Sadler runs the other pool hall at 406 W. 7th. He enjoys a good trade. Mansfield Askew is still working at the drug store, doing nicely. His brother Ed is working for Davidson's dry goods store. His other brother is working at the packing house. Their sister, Miss Laura, is still single. These are fine people, all doing well. Joe Baker on S. Hamilton, is still here. There has been many changes since we were here two years ago. Our veteran mail carrier and my good friend, Thomas H. Sturges, was accidentally killed last winter while crossing a street car track in his mail wagon. The street car struck him and killed his horse and he died within a few hours later at the hospital. C. A. Gross is running his barber shop. He has the martin in high school. J. Worris has moved his massage parlor to the Martin Hotel. W. P. Shields is still here, also the Shores brothers, J. H. and D. C. Rev. R. L. Knight, retired Methodist minister, lives here and wishes to be remembered by his old acquaintances. D. C. Gordon and Thos. Hedges are doing well. Mrs. Anna Norris is running a nice room house at 400 W. 7th St. R. S. Parker, F. W. Cowan, J. E. Wilkinson, W. M. Smith, R. J. Patterson, Mrs. A. Williams and Mrs. Emma Fisher are some of the wide awake, progressive citizens doing well here. Mr. A. Lee owns a very beautiful home at 3920 Jackson. They are old and highly respected people. Mr. C. E. Stubblefeld is still in the U. S. mail service as a carrier. His daughter, Miss Vivian, will be the Bystander news reporter this year. She is working in the Davidson dry goods store. Into Yankton, South Dakota, we next landed, which is the metropolis of the state, a thriving town of about 40,000 of which is this county. There are several farmers. A few that can now recall are Mr. L. Bently, who owns a nice farm about 2 miles northeast of town. He owns an automobile. E. D. Hayes, O. Bentley and P. Holly, of which all own a farm of 10 acres up within one-half mile of the city, doing well. They have two churches, the A. M. E. and the Baptist. Each has a pastor and each own their church. The A. M. E. is located down in the heart of town and they are out of debt. Mrs. Lewis is one of the pioneer settlers here. Her husband died last winter. They own a nice brick home in down town district. Mr. Mrs. A. L. Hail are of our reliable citizens. Mrs. Harvey Williams is another good man. He is working for a meat market. His wife cooks for a cafe. They own nice property and are hustlers. They mate works at the round house. Mr. and Mrs. H. Furgerson still live here. Mrs. Furgerson will furnish us the Yankton news this year. Mrs. John Williams is still here. She owns her property. In fact every one that we have written about are buying or own their own homes, which is remarkable. Rev. F. H. Hereford owns a few acre farm. He is the pastor of the Baptist church. Many of the people came from the farm in and around Dalton, Mo. Mr. R. Morgan, formerly of Sioux City, is still here. Lo Roy Kinney is also a reliable man. The opportunity for colored men, especially on the farm, is good. We wish that more of our people would go out here and elsewhere in the great northwest and take advantage of the splendid opportunities now open to us. The price of farm land is advening so our watchword is to go VIVIAN L. JONES Formerly of JONES & SAMUELS Announces His temporarily doing business at Harbach's establishment, 6th and Center. Telephone Market 820-824 Residence Walnut 7404 north and west, young man. We next stopped in Ft. Dodge. Here we found about 500 colored people, all of them working, receiving good wages. Most of the mare newcomers here as most of them have moved here within the last 10 years. The older citizens are Sylvester Lewis, S. Hudson and Mr. Jamerson. Mr. Huson is running his panatorium, now located in the Waukonsa Hotel. Mr. Jamerson has a restaurant and barber shop and pool hall, doing well. Mr. Dishman is his barber. Mr. Jamerson is building him a very beautiful modern home on the boulevard. He has sold his farm. Scott Davis has bought him a home on 733 8th Ave North. Rev. Riggs is still here, doing well. He is a true race man. There are two churches, the A. M. E., pastored by Rev. N. B. Jones, formerly of Des Moines. He is doing well as he uses a hall for his church and has fixed the room up beautifully himself, and the Baptist. Eugene Reed is still here, doing well; also is N. H. Levels. Mr. F. C.

Mr. Paul W. Halyard Violinist Mr. Raymond Dysart has secured Mr. Paul Halyard, violinist, of Harrisburg, Pa., to take the leadership of his orchestra known as "Dysart's Jazz Orchestra." This orchestra is the most popular orchestra, white or colored, in Des Moines. Indeed, it is a hard matter to get dates with them. They are engaged at the Shops Piazza, Des Moines Club, Army Community Service, and are dated to play at the opening of the new Fort Des Moines Hotel. It has been through untiring effort upon the part of Mr. Dysart to bring his orchestra up to the high standard to which it now stands and he deserves great credit, and we know with the addition of Mr. Halyard with his past experience that the "Dysarts Jazzers" will be in greater demand than ever. They are scheduled to play at Camp Dodge for the benefit of the soldiers under the supervision of the Red Cross, Sunday, between the hours of three and five. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL COMMENCREMENT. The commencement exercises of the National Training School for Women and Girls began with the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. W. H. R. Powell of Alexandria, Virginia, Sunday, June 1st. The field and class day exercises were held on Thursday. Work done by the various departments was on exhibition. The unbounded enthusiasm that characterized the speeches and the class songs by the students told a story of devotion that was appreciated by the many friends, who came not only from the District of Columbia, but from the states to see what had been done during the year. Everybody went away delighted with what they saw and heard. The most marvelous thing, aside from the splendid work on exhibition and the interesting and unique program, was the legacies, wills and gifts to the school from the students themselves. The Training School girls boast of the fact that they have run the school two years "without man-power." Aside from this, the friends of the institution will be interested to know that these same girls have raised nearly eight hundred dollars which they presented in legacies and cash on class day. Here is their report: Class legacies, $7.79; Sunday school, $256.17; Y. W. C. A., $137.00; special contribution to the N. A. A. C. $26.73. Special gifts, aside from legacies, were made by the dressmaking department, $55.52; first normal class, $25.00; domestic science department, $184.84. Total, including amount given for legacies, $783.05. Think of girls running the big plant and giving $783.05 on algs davl. next week them heist of last week, summum, hotel, barr-Mar.

The commencement exercises were held on Friday. Rev. J. E. Wood of Kentucky delivered the address and Rev. Charles S. Morris of Virginia presented the diplomas and certificates. Fifteen (15) young women received them. Miss Burroughs stated that they had had a most successful year because the splendid corps of teachers did first class team work. The annual meeting of the Alumnae Association was held on Thursday. A banquet followed the business meeting. "A Drive for a Trades Hall" is their slogan. Miss Gertrude Banks of Virginia was elected president. The trustees held their annual meeting during commencement week and expressed deep appreciation to the president for the remarkable way in which the work is developing. Miss Burroughs was not only re-elected, but the trustees extended her a unanimous vote of appreciation and confidence and pledged to do more to help her build the great school—the dream of her life—for the training of our women and girls. 600 TEACHERS ENOOLLED AT 10TH ANNUAL ANNUAL SCHOOL OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Tuskegee, Ala., June 14—539 teachers from 14 states enrolled at Tuskegee Institute Monday morning for the opening of the Tenth Annual Summer School. This enrollment is unprecedented and shows how the teachers in the rural communities in the South are striving to strengthen themselves for the work and the heavier responsibilities which have come to them by reason of reconstruction and the re-adjustment of conditions which grew out of the war. The enrollment to date is 578. At eleven o'clock Monday morning, the opening day of the session, Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, addressed words of welcome to the teachers. Other speakers for the week were: Dr. Geo. D. Goddard, Rural School Agent for the state of Georgia; Mr. C. J. Calloway, Director of the Extension Department, Tuskegee Institute, which directs the work of the Rosewall Rural School Building; Mr. W. B. Biley, Superintendent of Education, Macon county, Alabama; Rr. H. O. Sargent of the Federal Board of Vocational Education, Mr. Ezra C. Roberts, Director of the Academic Department and Summer School, commenting upon the enroll- ASK PROTECTION FOR COLORED BAILWAY EMPLOYEES John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today made public a letter to the director general of the U. S. Railroad Administration, Walker D. Hines, aciling attention to the resignation of an entire dining car crew because they could not obtain protection in the performance of their duty, being colored. The letter says in part; "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in receipt of a communication stating that the dining car crew doing service on dining car 3846 of the New Orleans Meridian Line, resigned their positions because it was impossible for them to obtain protection, the dining car conductor having failed to protect a colored waiter from an assault by a white flagman which resulted in the waiter's death. "Both the train conductor and the flagman are under the jurisdiction of the United States Railroad Administration. The resignation of the employees of the United States Railroad Administration, on the ground that they cannot obtain protection because of their color, would seem to merit investigation of those officials of the United States Railroad Administration who decline to afford them protection in the performance of their duty. This murder occurred June 6th. "May we hear from you what steps have been taken to investigate this situation and to protect colored dining car crews on the New Orleans Meridian Line?" NAME MOUNTAIN AS A MEMO- RIAL TO ROOSEVELT. Black Hills Pioneers to Honor the Ex-President With Big Ceremony on July 4. Peak Overlooks Scenes of Former Activities of the Colonel. General Leonard Wood, Officials and Prominent, Citizens of Several New York.—Announcement was made today by the Roosevelt Memorial Association that on July 4 the Black Hills Pioneers would honor the memory of the dead ex-president by naming for him the highest peak in the Black Hills. Timed to take place during Homecoming Week for Deadwood and other Black Hills communities, this ceremony will be a manifestation of the affection which all the residents of that section of the country felt for Colonel Roosevelt. Peak Overlooks Three States. The peak which is to be known as Mount Theodore Roosevelt is now known as Sheep Mountain or Round Top. It is a detached eminence with an elevation of 6,000 feet, three miles from Deadwood, fifteen miles from Wyoming and thirty-five miles from the Montana state line. It is on the Black Hills Forest Reserve, and will be the center of a bird and game refuge also dedicated to the memory of the ex-president Memorial Cairn at Summit. The people of Deadwood are now building at the summit of the mountain a cairn fifty feet high of boulders of native granite. T. A. Brown of Spearfish, one of the colonel's associates of years ago, has obtained the permission of the local committee to place in this monument a stone with the cattle brands of his old friend chiselled thereon. The dedication of this monument will take place on Independence Day, when a tablet inscribed "In memory of Theodore Roosevelt, the American," will be fastened to one of the boulders. The governor of South Dakota is expected to preside at the ceremony. General Leonard Wood will make an address, and there will be present state of officials of Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska and South Dakota. An automobile road is now being built to the top of the mountain from Deadowod. A new bridle path along a beautiful little creek will also give access to the mountain top and the memorial cairn. 600 TEACHERS ENROLLED AT 10TH ANNUAL SUMMER SCHOOL OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Tuskegee, Ala., June 14.—539 teachers from 14 states enrolled at Tuskegee Institute Monday morning for the opening of the Tenth Annual Summer School. This enrollment is unprecedented and shows how the teachers in the rural communities in the South are striving to strengthen themselves for the work and the heavier responsibilities which have come to them by reason of reconstruction and the re-adjustment of conditions which grew out of the war. The enrollment to date is 578. At eleven o'clock Monday morning, the opening day of the session, Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, addressed words of welcome to the teachers. Other speakers for the week were: Dr. Geo. D. Goddard, Rural School Agent for the state of Georgia; Mr. J. C. Lalloway, Director of the Extension Department, Tuskegee Institute, which directs the work of the Rosewald Rural School Building; Mr. W. B. Riley, Superintendent of Education, Macon county, Alabama; Mr. R. H. O. Sargent of the Federal Board of Vocational Education, Mr. Ezra C. Roberts, Director of the Academic Department and Summer School, commenting upon the enrollment, said: "Of the 600 teachers now on the grounds, 235 are teachers in Rosewald schools and they have come for special training which we have arranged for them. Through the generosity of the General Education Board, the teachers in the Rosewald schools have had their railroad fare paid to Tuskegee in order that they might have this special training which is designed to establish certain definite standards in so far as industrial work is concerned." In addition to the regular summer school course, special instructions in thrift and Red Cross first aid are being given. COLORED GIRL APPOINTED TO POSITION IN STATE OFFICE. Appointment May Help Break Down Unjust Barrier Against Colored Peoples Miss Alameda Green, colored, of this place, has been appointed stenographer and typist in the office of the curator of the state library at Des Moines. Miss Green is a graduate of Wilberforce university, Wilberforce, Ohio, and is uncommonly well equipped for her work. The employment of a colored girl as stenographer by a state officer is important, as it will tend to break down the barrier against giving desirable and properly remunerative employment to colored people simply because they are colored, such discrimination being unjust and cruel, because it keeps them poor. The United States is the only country in the world where color prejudice exists. We seemingly are ignorant of the fact that nearly half of the globe in extent is inhabited by people of dark skin, and that two-fifths of the inhabitants of the world are dark skinned, including not only the people of Asia and Africa, but of Mexico and of Central and South America and Cuba as well. The Creator created both the light and the dark skinned peoples and seemingly makes no distinction between them. What justification have we for doing so?—Keoauqua State Line Democrat.

She also has a perfect class room record for the last four years. KEOKUK NEWS. At Bethel A. M. E. church Sunday two splendid sermons were delivered by the pastor, Rev. C. R. Waters. The people are attending both morning and evening services nicely, considering the hot weather. The Children's Day exercises were observed in the Sunday school Sunday, June 15th, at 2 p. m. Marjorie Holbert Tooms in charge of program, and it was certainly grand. After the program George Roddy and Mae Retta Ashyj lifted the offering, and they did splendidly. Mrs. C. R. Waters, who has been visiting in Chicago for three weeks, returned to the city again Monday evening on the 9:05 train. She reports having a splendid visit. Also Mrs. Lucas, her mother, and little William Jackson returned with her. Thursday evening the Carnation Club gave a wonderful surprise on Mrs. Waters. There were about 32 or 34 people gathered at the parsonage about 9:30 and brought all sorts of canned goods and other eatables. They also brought ice cream and home made cakes and the table was spread from one side of the room to the other, and every one had a nice time, returning home at a late hour. Rev. and Mrs. Waters wish to thank the people for their kindness toward them ever since they have been in Kookuk Rev, Waters and Mr. W. H. Green, which meets in Burlington next Tuesday morning, will leave on an early train Tuesday morning.

We've songt for knowledge gathered here From early morn till close of day; And tutored by thy learned staff, Our searches have not gone astray. When first we entered thy broad doors On that occasion in the past, Perhaps we did not then abound In virtues which we claim at last. While dwelling here within thy halls, True friendships by the score we've made; And the henceforth our ways must part, Thy pleasant memories ne'er shall fade. Among the volumes score on score, We've spent the pleasant hours of youth In search of knowledge held therein, And from them gained the light of truth. Both joys and woes we have endured That wisdom to our souls might come; And like the plowman in the lay We soon shall turn our footsteps home. Oft on those dark and irksome days With every proffered text foued o'er, Our hearts in deep resentment rose And bade us wander from thy door. game, And knowledge gained within thy walls Pereance may some day bring us fame. The days have lengthened into years— As students we have gained the light, And hope and truths we've garnered here Will lead our faltering steps aright. Behind us stretch those four long years Which we have spent within thy room. Beyond thy threshold, to our gaze A vision of the future looms. In future years as we look back Along the pathway of our lives. From out the deep gulf of the past A vision of thy form will rise. A debt of gratitude we owe To thee, fair emblem of the light, Which leads all men to broader paths And makes the star of life stay bright. Long shall thy praise be on our lips As forth we launch on life's rough sea. And may thy strong heart receive Our thanks, which we now offer thee. Time moves apace, the goal lies near, And from thy hall we soon must part; But on that day when we go forth We'll hold fond mem'ries in each heart. R. Irving Johnson, Gravity, Iowa. Editor's Note:—Young Johnson just graduated with honors from the Clinton High School, therefore his splendid poem is typical of what he has just passed thru. COLORED GIRL GETS HONORS AT S. U. I.

From the Ames Iowa Intelligence. When a man comes to you all doubled up with pain and declares he will die in your presence unless you procure him a drink of whiskey, send him to a doctor or else give him a dose of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. There is a mistaken notion among a whole lot of people that booze is the best remedy for colic and stomach ache.

One afternoon Clarence's mother was sitting on the porch. Clarence, Marguerite, and a few other children were playing in the yard. Suddenly he left the group and coming to his mother said: "Mother, when you marry a twin do you have to marry both of THE BYSTANDER Spirit That Animates the Returning Soldiers. Men Who Gloriously Finished the Greatest War in History Have Now But One Idea: Their Country's Good. The American soldier in the great war dedicated his life to the establishment of justice, freedom and democracy in the world. Analytical wise guys have been busy ever since America got into the war, furnishing cynical explanations of the American fighting man's impelling motive. In spite of the complex arguments of the analytical psychologists who can understand anything but the simple sincerity of an honest man, the American soldier did fight in war for the establishment of those principles, and has every intention of working in peace for the preservation of that for which he fought. I talked of the purposes of the American Legion with Colonel Roosevelt. In his conversation, as he explained them to me, the word "crystallization" occurred again and again. "We want," he said, "to crystallize the spirit that made it possible for us to get into this war and to fight it as we did." Do you realize, you who read this, what that spirit is that this organization wants to crystallize and preserve? I'll give you an example of it that I saw. A shattered church in the Marne salient during the latter part of July: It was filled with freshly-wounded on stretchers. The shells were whining over and bursting about it. A slim, big-eyed, very boyish boy was brought in all shot to pieces. He was a very ordinary American boy, certainly not more than eighteen. A medical major was passing. "Hey, doc," the young fellow called weakly. "What is it, son?" the major asked, bending above him. "Tell me, doc," the boy begged huskily. "Am I—am I—bad hit?" The major looked at the descriptive slip with which the wounded boy was tagged and hesitated. He knew the young fellow had less than half an hour of life left in him. "Well, I'll tell you, son," he said slowly. "You're in a pretty bad way, but we're going to do all we can for you." The boy—who was a very ordinary young fellow, as I have said—saw the truth under the thin camouflage of kindness. He knew he was dead. He caught his breath quickly, closed his eyes, and, reaching up, caught hold of the major's hand and held it tight for a little time. Then he sighed, opened his eyes, and folded his arms contentedly on his breast. He looked up at the major, and there was the calm light of a glad resignation on his face. "Well, anyhow," he whispered triumphantly, "I guess I made good, didn't I?" "You sure did, son," the major assured him. The boy smiled again and dled, happy in the knowledge that he had made good in his personal obligation to establish the principles of justice, freedom and democracy. That's the spirit that the American Legion wants to crystallize, to perpetuate, to preserve and translate into terms of constructive civilian effort that will insure the continuation in force of the principles that the soldier fought to save.—William Slavens McNutt in Collier's Weekly. The Italian farmer is evidently nothing if not willing to experiment. No fewer than three classes of collective farms are in successful operation in the country. In one class a co-operative society of farmers acts as landlord for the individual members, each of whom tilts his own farm independently of the others. Under the second plan the co-operative society holds the land, decides from year to year how it is to be divided and cultivated, and appoints each member to his part in the program of cultivation. The third plan is more complicated: the cooperative society rents a large farm which is worked by a permanent staff of members receiving a salary for their services, and by other members who divide their time between work on the co-operative farm and on privately owned farms. All three forms of cooperation are highly successful according to recent accounts. They have this point in common, the elimination of middlemen between farmer and consumer. Lieutenant Scheutze, who was a member of a United States naval expedition sent into the arctic in search of the exploration ship Jannette, reports the discovery of ivory "mines" in a group of islands lying northeast of the Lena river, situated in northeast Siberia. Vast numbers of mammoths, it appears, have been discovered buried in a sea of ice, and it is held that, for a short period each year, probably a few weeks, these mammoths could be "mined" with great profit, owing to the immensity of the tusks, four times the size of those of the elephant of this age, and because of the great value of ivory at present. An ivory "mining" expedition would doubtless furnish all the "thrill" that the most adventurous The Italian Farmer. Ivory "Mines." Beyond Writer's Power. Beyond Writers Power. Conlings Dawson says, in telling of his disinclination to keep even a note book after he went to the front, though he had been a professional writer: "One has a strange feeling about books when he is in the immediate presence of death. I remember an anecdote of a great Swedish writer which partly illustrates my mood. The watchers by his bedside thought he was dead. Suddenly he raised himself up. sen up. "Now I could write,' he whispered. They were his last words. "In the light of my experience at the front I know what he meant. The petty personal problems which we cloak in words and call literature seem so ignoble a presentation of men and women who are planned for immortality and live in an infinite world. I went to France fully intending to keep a record of what I felt and saw there. I soon found that what I felt and saw was too grave to put on paper; I cheapened myself in my own eyes in the attempt." A government press censor was talking about the German press censorship. "We found on some prisoners, recently," he said, "the German censorship's latest prohibition. Prominent among these was an order to the press not to mention under any circumstance the growing use in Germany of dog flesh for food. "That prohibition reminds me of a story—a story that may contain a lot of truth. "A German prisoner," the story runs, was rebuked by a sergeant for the sloppy way he was feeding and looking after some Red Cross dogs. "I guess you think you know a lot about dogs," the sergeant sneered. "Yes, sir, that's right," said the prisoner, "for let me tell you, sir. I've been cook in a Berlin restaurant for the last two years." "That great railroad president was once an office boy." "I venture a guess," observed Miss Cayenne, "that he felt much more secure and important when he was an office boy than he does today." Katherine—I saw him flirting with a girl last month, and he's a married man. Kidder—Well, that's always the way. If a man gives a girl the least encouragement she'll marry him. "Did you put the cat out, Johnn?" "No," came the resolute answer. "I joined the S. P. C. a. today. It's against my principles to do anything so cruel."

When you have stiffness and soreness of the muscles, aching joints and find it difficult to move without pain try massaging the affected parts with Chamberlain's Liniment. It will relieve the pain and make rest and sleep possible. The air service, like most special branches, has its own vocabulary. An officer of flying status, but who for some reason does not fly, is called a "penguin." This name is also applied to a type of training machine which does not rise from the ground. An officer in the flying service without flying status is called a "kiwl" after an Australian bird. A pilot is generally called a "quirk." A flight is called a "flip," and if it is a distinguished failure it is called a "washout." An airplane is usually called a "bus." The great hope of the airman is to "spike-bozzle," or bring down a "Zepp," or one of the smaller nonrigid dirigibles they call "blimps." The airman's pest is the "onlon," or large flaming anti-aircraft shell which "Archie" sends up as a sort of bouquet—with sometimes an unpleasant smell. "Archie" is the general name for the antialrcraft gun. —Everybody's. That the new vogue of initials is as bewildering as a writer in the New York Statesman suggests is made abundantly clear by reports of committees dealing with the Prince of Wales' fund. Those who have been initiated into the mysteries of its administration and are familiar with the terminology in use may know that W. C. does not indicate the west central district, but means war committee; that N. R. F. signifies national relief fund, and that L. R. C. is meant local representative committee. But even they must be baffled by the problem set by such a procession of initials as G. C. P. R. D., and fail to guess that what is suggested by them is government committee for the prevention and relief of distress.—London Chronicle, Eagles Historic in the Navy. When Secretary Daniels christened Henry Ford's submarine chasers "Eagles" he perpetuated a name that is historic in the navy. According to naval records 15 American fighting ships bearing that name have distinguished themselves in the Revolutionary war, the naval war with France, the War of 1812, the Civil war and the Spanish war.

Indians Good Orchardista The American apple owes much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the Indian was an able pomologist. It was not unusual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have 1,500 trees, which all had been duly pruned and cultivated by the people we are prone to regard as nomadic savages. The peach and quince were also cultivated by them in later years. To the world the Indian introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the pawpaw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry.
