BLAKEMORE HELD OVER WITHOUT BOND. Gus Blakemore, shot and instantly killed Rube McGee, Wednesday morning about 10:15, at Rube's home on West Tenth, St, one block north of the Gazette office. Blakenore, was arrested by chief Brannon, a few minutes later at his home just across the street where the killing was done. He did not try to escape Two shots were fired, one entering in McGee's chest and the other one took effect in the back about three inches from the first McGee died almost instantly after being shot. Mrs. McGee, says she was in the kitchen washing when 'Blake' entered the door and asked it Rube was in. She told him she was the first person rushed to the front room where McGee, was sweeping and immediately two shots rang out. McGee rushed out the front door and fell on the sidewalk, where he died. A razor was seen open in McGee's pocket. Mrs. McGee stated further that her husband told Blake-more, he did not have anything against him. The report comes to our reporter that Blakemore and McGee had had trouble before. Coroner Miller was summoned at once and empaired a jury to make a report of their findings. Dr. O. M. Willis examined the dead body and found two shot holes and pierced his body from Bishanre's graveover. Gilbe is held over without bond to await the action of the grand jury.

NO. 35 METR E I ONAL SITU POLI MOTTO: METROPO M SITUAN THE NATIONAL SITUATION League of Nations Labor Troubles Race Hostilities Politics By Beauregard F. Mossley. The defeat in the Senate of all amendments offered to the Peace Treaty and League of Nations does not mean its adoption without reservation, which, if adopted with those already proposed by the Foreign Relations Committee, would make it as worthless as a scrap or paper. LABOR TROUBLES The labor situation is become acute—no that labor is underpaid or overpaid, but because 15 percent of the laborers have unionized or banded themselves together to control the labor market, to the exclusion of 85 percent of those who labor, and 100 percent of those who employ it. This condition has already resolved in the coal and steel strikes and general suspension of business where industry is concerned, all because labor organizers unorganized does not surrender its timeto8. The right to long an union no greater or of right to belong to one, and both rights are limited, and as long as kept within the proper confines of its proper limitations, no real trouble will ensue 15 per cent can do nothing but threaten, if the 85 per cent will continue to pursue the even law senior of their way, for law enforcement will soon demonstrate the power of the majority. RACE HOSTILITIES. The failure of certain citizens both white and colored to take into consideration in the various communities in which they reside, public sentiment as well as the written law, is causing an avalanche of harassment to be poured down upon the degree. This is evidence almost daily, not only in the crass clashes, and the ruthless expression from whites to blacks and from blacks to whites, but rather in the fact that these clashes are between uneducated negroes and whites to a larger extent than the ever excited body in the uneducated passats of these remote negroes and the whites. This was when once in this country an educated negro was guided by all the whites in any given community where the need might reside as an honor and as a gift. Other negroes referred to him for advice and guidance. Freed Douglas Booker, T. Washington, Wright Cuney and a host of others in their day, attest the truth of this fact. They did not belong to associations to secure compulsory sexual equality, nor to labor unions. V. M. C.

I think as many who object to women raising their voices against in front of anything which concerns the masses. They believe that they should not be heard outside their own, and their neighbors house, except when they oblige them to appear in court, and in the presence of many to be questioned by the law, as they see it. But when a woman stands up voluntarily and tries to persuade people to be true and noble; when he heart prompts her to speak the truth that it may be more universal than it may be man talking to women sphere and questioning her bility. Who does it concern or not concern? If men will cease to drink. If they will abuse themselves to vigorous action and do away with antipersistence, women will not spend their time, nor talents in speaking against it. But so long as calico-kneepers deal out this deadly beverage which makes men brastly instead of mały; so long as men beat their wives and starve their children; so long as women are obliged to work and support themselves and their drunken husbands; so long as intemprate sons cause their mothers to go down in sorrow and to their graves; so long as women have women INDUSTRY NEEDS SKILLED NEGROES. Detroit "Negroes, like members of other advancing races, are learning to do more and more things well. True vocational training for them therefore, must be more thorough than it has been," declared Dr James E Gregg, principal of Hampen Institute, before the National Urban League for Social service among the Negroes in an address on "Training for More Skilled Work," Dr. Gregg added: "Education for life is not a static term. Its meaning is constantly changing as the conditions of the change. In 1866 Negroes were not nursing 2100 business enterprises. Today they are conducting 50,000. In 1866 the accumulated wealth of American Negroes was $20,000,000. If today it is $1,110,000,000 such an economic evolution should be and indeed must be reflected in their occupations and consequently in the kind of vocational instruct ion which is needed by them: "In emphasizing vocational training I am not forgetting or belittling the importance of cultural training. Every mechanic deserves and needs enough of cultural training to enable him to use his leisure time profitably and happily." The literary and more theoretical subjects must have attention. These should be no question of higher or lower studies. The only question should be. What does this or that student deserve and require to develop him most fully in capability and serviceability? "Hampton now offers four years courses in it. Trade School in auto-mobile mechanics, blocksmithing, bricklaying, cabin making, carpentry, machine work, painting, printing, shoemaking, steamfitting and plumbing, tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstery and wheeledwrighing. These courses will be amplified as future conditions may demand." hearts, and intemperance is aiming such a deadly blow to destroy their loved ones and their country, just so long will they implore and beseech men to be temperate. What can a woman do more noble, more elevating, more praise-worthy, more heroic, more needful or more womely than to use her voice an power in speaking against intemperance. Maud E.

Phone--72 METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL Two Chances To Kill The Hessian Fly The pest lives through the winter in the bases of wheat stalks. SPRING FLIGHT In Spring the winged flies emerge from the injured wheat and fly to the healthy wheat to lay eggs. Tiny maggots hatch from these edges, sap the plant's strength, change into the fluxseed form again and remain in the stubble when the wheat is cut. Plowing the stubble under will kill many of them. FALL FLIGHT In the fall the second generation of flies hatch out, leave the stubble and look for young wheat to feed on. If they can find no young wheat above ground they will die in a few days. Sow Late And Fertilize To Make Up For Lost Growing Time The illustration shows the two points in the life history of the Hesbian fly where it can be destroyed most readily. Late seeding is an essential part of this program for eradication, which in turn necessitates the use of fertilizer, or other means of soil enrichment, in order to get the young plants through the winter in a vigorous condition. FERTILE SOIL A BIG FACTOR IN CROP PRODUCTION Rich Soil Increases the Labor Efficiency of the Average Farm Hand. Back in 1917 the extension department of the University of West Virginia made a census of the state with a view to learning what acreage of crops the average farm hand cared for. They found that on the better-class farms a man averaged to care for 26 acres of crops, 16 acres of meadow and 17 animal units. wheat), and 86,400 pounds of straw and stover yearly. If, on other hand, this same man were spend his time growing crops with fertilizer amounting to 743 pounds acre was applied each year, his yearly crop production would me up to 1,338 bushels of grain and 2,000 pounds of hay, straw and stoe wheat), and 86,400 pounds of hay, straw and stover yearly. If, on the other hand, this same man were to spend his time growing crops where fertilizer amounting to 743 pounds per acre was applied each year, his total yearly crop production would mount up to 1,338 bushels of grain and 261,000 pounds of hay, straw and stover. Of course the fact that a man cultivates a certain number of acres has really but little bearing on the final question. It is the amount of crop The man working on improved land was able to produce three times as large a crop as the man working on ordinary soil. Not only is there a prac- AS BIG GRAN BALZ NAYA STRAW AND STOVER ESO COOSE JAZZ GRAN 2010 BALZ MAY STRAW WEDN AND STOVER On Unfertilized Land On Fertilized Land.

Thus he must undertake a partnership with the soil, for it seems that the quality of the soil is even more important than the man himself in attaining the ultimate goal—big crops. If we consider this average farm tical effect through increasing the crop production per man, but there is a very decided moral effect on the man himself. Being human, the farm hand likes to work with thrifty luxuriant crops. He unconsciously puts forth his greatest efforts when he has before him the stimulus of a big yield. which he grows which really determines his value. Thus he must undertake a partnership with the soil, for it seems that the quality of the soil is even more important than the man himself in attaining the ultimate goal—big crops. If we consider this average farm hand as applied to the ordinary unfertilized land we exist at the West Virginia experiment station, we find that he is able to produce from the 43 acres 485 bushels of grain (corn and He goes into a slump and gets disgruntled and discouraged with the prospect of a poor scrubby crop. Perhaps, after all, he is only reflecting the attitude of the man he works for. Missouri Experiment Station Shows How Fertilization of Wheat Crop Increases Both the Yield of Wheat and the Next Year's Yield of Clover. 1. Legume. 2. Legume, Lime. 3. Legume, Lime, Phosphoric Acid, Nitrogen. 4. No Treatment. 5. Legume, Lime, Phosphoric Acid, Nitrogen and Potash. 6. Manure Alone. 7. Manure and Rock Phosphate. The illustration above is drawn from a photograph in Bulletin 148 of the Missouri experiment station. It shows the result on the succeeding clover crop of fertilizer applied to wheat. The fertilizer not only increased the yield of wheat, and at a rate to pay for itself and leave a nice margin of profit, but in addition it made a big increase in the clover crop for the next year. A combination of legumes, lime and complete fertilizer produced the biggest gain, even greater than that produced by barnyard manure. THE ABANDONED FARM MOVING WESTWARD ARGENTINA FIXES PRICE OF WHEAT In the May issue of the Agricultural Review, Prof. R. T. Throckmorten, Kansas experiment station, has the following to say regarding the maintenance of fertility in that state: The Argentine government has fixed the minimum price for export wheat at $1.55 per bushel. A rate of $35 per ton of 2,240 pounds, equivalent to 94 cents per bushel, from Buenos Aires to New York, has been quoted by the United States shipping board. This would make the price of Argentine wheat at New York $2.49 per bushel. According to International Institute of agriculture at Rome the rate from Buenos Aires to Liverpool is 34 cents per bushel, which would make the price of Argentine wheat at Liverpool $1.89 per bushel. In this connection it is interesting to note that the British government has fixed the sale price of imported wheat at $2.40 per bushel. "Plantfood to the value of $365,000,000 is being extracted from Kansas soils this year. This plantfood would produce 200,000,000 bushels of wheat. "Kansas soils are gradually but surely becoming unproductive, and the maintenance of soil fertility is a matter of concern to every farmer, particularly the wheat grower. "In the face of the large number of abandoned farms and the rapidly increasing population, it is high time farmers began to do their work more scientifically." It would seem from the above that the American farmer may well anticipate a good price for the 1920 wheat crop. This is a warning which must be heeded—the barrel will soon run dry unless the draining at the spigot is replaced at least in part. Page Three AN OPEN LETTER AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED PEOPLE We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory, thereto. Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race, though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career. I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14, 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. I then worked for Geo. W. Jones, 1914 W. Lake St., and Wm. W. Mason, 1815 W. Lake St., of Chicago, and was associated with the late N. W. Long, of Metropolis, for three years, thus preparing myself for the embalming busi- lines. We are now located at 901 Pearl St., opposite the Gazette office, and we solicit your patronage. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice. We have a first class hearse at our command. Calls answered day or night; distance immaterial. We were in the U.

A fund of $57.80 was raised by the Mt. Olive Baptist Association at Duquoin, last week through the efforts and advice of Moderator McCraay. This fund will be used to aid weak churches when the Fund reaches the amount to justify. The money will be loaned for a short time at a small interest. We have a standing committee to look after this part of the work and we urge every church to establish a Penny Fund by living a pity collection every Sunday. This is a move that was in hearty accord with the association, and was readily approved. Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the disabled portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartilage deafness, and that is by a confluent remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an infiltrated condition of the faucious lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflated, you have a vibrating sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be treated and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
