Famine has developed in many sections of the south which is responsible for 10,000 deaths this year according to the public health service. It is the farming section from Texas to Carolina that the conditions are worse in. The tenant farmers who devoted all their land to cotton are forced to let their cattle, hogs and chickens die of starvation. Nevertheless they must be carried over without any assurance for better in the market. Grand Master Gross Re-elected Sioux City, Iowa.—(Special to Bystander)—The thirty-fourth annual communication of the United Grand Lodge of A. F. & A. M. held at Sioux City last week proved to be in several respects the most successful in its history. Grand Master W. W. Gross reported two new lodges organized during the year, namely, Tuscan lodge at Centerville, Iowa and Corinthian lodge at Ft. Madison, Iowa. The number of lodges in the state is twenty-two and raising the membership from 794 last year to 1,013 being the first time the membership has passed the one thousand mark, and while the reports of the grand secretary and grand treasury showed eighteen death claims the largest number in the history of the Grand Lodge as having been paid during the year their balances showed remaining in the treasury over four thousand dollars. The members of Decatur lodge and Harmony chapter of O. E. S. covered themselves with glory in the magnanimous way in which they entertained the grand lodge holding the regular sessions in the splendid Pythian temple (white) while all meals were served by the ladies of the O. E. S. in the regular hall of Decatur lodge. On Tuesday afternoon the grand lodge called off and made a grand street parade through the principal streets of the city headed by a splendid brass band and at the conclusion of the parade boarded a train of electric cars furnished by the local lodge and were conveyed over into South Dakota to a beautiful park where a program was given consisting of addresses of welcome by the Hon. Mayor of Sioux City and Past Senior Grand Warden, M. Askew of Decatur lodge which were responded to by Grand Master Gross, Junior Grand Warden, D. N. Crosthwaite and Past Grand Masters John L. Thompson and S. Joe Brown after which the ladies of the O. E. S. spread one of the most sumptuous repasts ever set before a Grand LASHES MINISTER At Miami, Fla., eight masked men seized Rev.

Speakers at a banquet given by the post, which is made up entirely of white men, praised Johnson for his war work, saying he was en- YES, HE IS A JUDGE AND A GOOD JUDGE TOO! (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., July 21.—"If you women come into this court again I'll have your teeth pulled. Now sign the bond to keep the peace for a year and a day." So Judge Haas in South Clark street court settled a dispute as to whether Mrs. Emma Seymour or Mrs. Lucille Arsenaux, both living at 3213 Ellis avenue and both colored, bit the other first. Mrs. Seymour charged she had been bitten on the back. gaged in government secret service, and condemned Dempsey. The war records of the two men made it imperative that Johnson regain the title from Dempsey, Capt. J. P. Tansey, commander of the post said. Previous to taking action, the post had Johnson examined by a physician, who declared the Negro to be in splendid shape and fit to fight. Pressure will be brought to bear on the governors of various states to permit the fight, according to the post's plans. Developing Self-Control. Self-control may be developed in precisely the same manner as we tone up a weak muscle—by little exercises day by day. Let us each day do, as mere exercises of discipline in moral gymnastics, a few acts that are disagreeable to us, the doing of which will help us in instant action in our pursuit of need—W. G. Jordan. A Question. Said the near cynic: "Judging from the time some of the young blood of this town arrive home in the morning, it's hard to tell whether to call them eight owls or larks." MOVIE MAGNATES OF CALIFORNIA AGREE TO DESTROY "BIRTH OF NATION" IF NEGROES WILL STAND WITH THEM ON THE CENSORSHIP QUESTION New York, July 16—The N. A. A. C. P. announces that through actions taken by the legal advisor of the Los Angeles branch, the showing of the Birth of a Nation film had been stopped in Los Angeles and in the state of California. The Associated Picture producers have assured the Negro that the "Clansman" would no longer be shown in California if the Negroes would stand with them on the censorship. It is agreed that the "Clansman" is to be destroyed. The feeling is everywhere that the picture is unfair to the Negro and injurious to the public. 10,000,000 SOUTHERNERS TO PROTEST AGAINST SUNDAY WORK (By The Associated Negro Press.) Nashville, Tenn., July 21.—Noah W. Cooper of this city, chairman of the Southern Methodist Sabbath-saving crusade, who says his organization represents the sentiments of 10,000,000 professing Christians of the South, has arrived in Washington, as the advance guard of a number of delegates from southern states who, he states, will reach there soon, to bring their campaign before congress. The campaigners will present to every member of congress a petition asking for the passage of a law prohibiting any man from engaging in his daily task on the Sabbath. SEVEN YEAR OLD COLORED GIRL VICTIM OF OUTRAGEOUS ATTACK BY DEPRAVED WHITE MAN Child in Serious Condition — Fiend in Jail; Daily Papers Ignore Case. Pittsburgh, Pa., July 21.—Animal passion of the very lowest type and almost inhuman brutality played the leading roles in one of the most nauseating crimes of years when Frank Kwiatkowski, a Polish fiend, lured seven-year-old Eleather Clemens to a lonely spot near the Monongahela river last Tuesday evening shortly after 6 p. m., criminally assaulted her, and then, aided and abetted by a gang of ruffian friends, succeeded in getting away, only to be later captured and placed in jail. Mother Tells Story. With trembling lips and eyes filled with tears, Mrs. Clemens, mother of the small girl victim painted a vivid picture of all of the sordid details of the crime. Aided now and then by her brother, Mrs. Clemens told of sending the child to a nearby store of the man's forcing the girl to accompany him, of the assault committed under threat of death if the girl made made any outcry, of the child's return in a pitiful condition and of the chase and capture. THE BEST Advertising Medium to Reach the Colored People SOUTH Extra TULSA RELIEF DAY Tulsa, Oklahoma, July 11.—The colored citizens of Tulsa, Oklahoma through their relief committee, respectfully ask that Sunday, July 24, 1921, will be set aside in all churches throughout the United States, as Tulsa Relief Day, and that the pastors and officers of their churches will ask the prayers of every member of their respective congregations for the thousands of victims of the cruel mob that looted and burned the homes and business places, churches, schools, lodges and everything that the people possessed, and to this day have tried to take the land for other purposes and remove the colored people to a remote field of eighty acres of land wholly outside the city limits and to which a good title cannot be had. Our people are living in tents loaned to them by the Red Cross, many of which have only dirt floors and no bedding save government cots. Cooking utensils are very much needed. Should winter catch us in this shape there will be great suffering. This appeal is to every church, lodge, club, commercial club and every other organization of the race and to organizations of other races who will help. Send all money and other articles to S.

Out of ten million Negroes in this country the number that is really interested in their welfare other than their back and stomach are few and far between. Institutions for the uplift of humanity should direct more of their efforts in arousing those disinterested members of our race to a sense of their possibilities and the graveness of their conditions. The sheep that is lost is the one that counts—not the ninety-nine that are saved. Go into he forest of the slums and habitations thereof and wrestle with the group until they "come over."! Standing on the hills pleading can't be heard by the man in the ruins—the one that makes our National life hell. JACK JOHNSON. We are more than glad that Jack Johnson is out of prison. We trust he will find his levels of life, make his last fight and then go into the oblivion that inevitably awaits him. We like sports. We bewail, however, the situations of obscene professionalism to which many of its phases have fallen. Boxing is a healthful sport. Professional prize-fighting has gone about as low as it is possible for it to sink, we imagine. We do not think that a Negro champion is in any way a necessary adjunct to the upbuilding of our particular species of mankind. We don't think the "color line" will be wiped out by the fists of any colored fellow no matter how strongly and skillfully he might use them. And yet if it will break up the prize fighting game if a black pugilist should win the championship we are for a black champion. We are heartily tired of the yelping of the American white man about the stands he feels he must assume to maintain the integrity of his kind. In one breath he feels free to discount on the close relationship of the Negro to the Gorilla and in the next breath he flatly refuses to permit the best white brute to engage in a fistic encounter with the best black brute—mind we are speaking of prize-fighting—engaged in a fistic encounter to establish the question of superiority, whatever that may finally mean. There is no color in brutes. Jack Dempsey is as low in the social scale as it is possible for a human being to sink and Jack Johnson is about in the same boat. So what is the difference! We are more than glad that Jack Jawl at he will find his levels of life, make his oblivion that inevitably awaits him. never, the situations of obscene professors have fallen.

The Home of the Soul In olden times, it was believed that the seat of the soul was the stomach, most likely for the reason that a man is never so completely used up as when his stomach is out of order. For the cure of ordinary stomach troubles, there is nothing quite so prompt and satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tablets. They strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. Give them a trial. They only cost a quarter. Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoes Remedy Every family should keep this preparation at hand during the hot of the summer months. It is almost sure to be needed, and when that time comes, is worth many times its cost. Buy it now. Why Suffer From Rheumatism?

Des Moines, Iowa, July 14, 1921. Dear Brother: There has come to the ears of the Executive Board of the Baptist Association of Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota, that one Rev. Jos. H. Harris of Monmouth, Ill., has been going through the State of Iowa, conducting revival meetings without the consent of the pastors of the local churches. Where this man has been, it has done much harm to the local church and pastor, and consequently he has held his meetings regardless of whether it met the approval of the pastor or not. He is also posing as an evangelist of the Western Baptist convention, but no such man for such position, was elected at the last annual session of the western convention at Kansas City, Kansas. Nor was he appointed by the Executive Board in our last regular meeting. Therefore, with the great harm he has already done in our state.

It is perfectly safe, bleaches quickly, delightful to use and by far the most satisfactory skin bleach for dark complexions.

They give you satisfaction and pleasure many times their cost. To Beauty Hair. Do not use hot combs and irons. They take the life out of the hair, make it brittle, break it and ruin your hair. Use only Dr. Fred Palmer's Hair Dresser and you will find that it solves perfectly the problem of making your hair straight, easy to dress, attractive in looks and healthy in growth. Dr. Fred Palmer has made a life study of the toilet needs of dark complexions. His Beauty Aids are not only the best, but are perfectly harmless to the skin and hair, which they beautify and make healthy. Most drug stores sell Dr. Fred Palmer's toilet requisites. The price of Dr. Fred Palmer's Skin Whitener Preparations is 26c each, including war tax, with the exception of the Soap, which requires no tax and is 25c. If your druggist cannot supply you, we will send any one of these items postpaid upon receipt of price, or if you will send $1.03, we will send you a full size package of each.
