THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE THE FIGHT IS ON WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WARREH G. HARDING, CALVIN COOLIDGE NOMINATED AS STANDARD BEARERS Vol. XIII No. 9 THE FIGHT IS THE REPUE WARREH G. HARDIN NOMINATED AS ST Favorable Reports Coming in Con- cerning Both Candidates. Prominent Race Men Endorse Harding. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia a Chief Factor. Chicago, Ill. June 25.—The Republican Campaign for President and Vice President has been launched. The Republican National Committee with offices in famous Auditorium Hotel on Chicago's famous Michigan Boulevard, has begun operations under the direction of Chairman Will H. Hays, the mighty political leader of Sullivan, in Indiana, where politics is a trade and a profession. What's coming off in the sweepstakes to put Harding and Coolidge under the wire, will make the Kentucky Derby look like a small race. The political generals and field marshals do not under estimate their tasks. They have a big job before them. The Chicago Convention as might be expected has left inspiration, but it, also, has germinated turmoil, and this must be turned into enthusiasm, if the G. O. P., ticket is to go across in November. Looking at the situation from a purely analytical viewpoint, so far as the Negro people of America are concerned, there are many important things which are being considered. The Republican National Committee is strongly flavored with "lily white" tendencies which are both serious and dangerous. This was plainly evident in under breath expressions and in certain attitudes expressed during the contests prior to the convention. The real human, or humanitarian factor is secondary in the promulgation of party plans, therefore, the consideration given the American Negro as a group is negligible, and in line with expediency only, with the greatest care exercised not to say "one single little word" that will offend the white South. The platform, as adopted, deals in generalities which may be interpreted as meaning a square deal for the Negro, but the rank and file of the colored people of country are greatly disappointed that the issues as presented by the most thoughtful leaders of the race, and endorsed by some of the most thoughtful leaders of the race, and endorsed by some of the most outstanding white leaders of the country, were not met with words that have but a single meaning. Criticism is being heard on all sides of the failure of the race members appointed on the platform and policies committee to function. This group was placed upon the general committee which met in Washington, to work out a plank expression of our group's desire to be incorporated in the draft laid before the Convention. Notable men were warned but it is said that not one of the colored members of the committee met the Washington conference but contented themselves with an eleventh hour effort at the Convention which met with scant consideration, While it is believed that the majority of the colored voters will cast their lot with the Republican organization, as in previous campaigns, it is no secret that thousands of intelligent voters are watching with the deepest concern the development of the "Third party" movement, and the national Convention of the "Committee of 48" which will be held in Chicago, July 10th. The 48ters, in their platform adopted in St. Louis, did speak out in open meeting, and many of the things they stand for have a direct appeal to --- Merchants Who Advertise in a Race Paper, Desire Your Patronage-Give Them a Trial.

The resolution passed in the final moments of the convention calling on the reduction of southern representation in the National convention is not regarded with undue feeling because by the same token, if representation is cut down in the convention, the Negro citizens of the country will insist that representation must be cut down in Congress. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the newly elected National Committeeman from Georgia, a former Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia will be one of the chief factors in adjusting the problems for the American Negroes. "We must have justice," said Mr. Johnson. Mob of Villians Disgrace Duluth Duluth, Minn. June 25,—A mob of 5,000 persons stormed police headquarters last Tusday, took possession of six Negroes held in connection with an attack on a white girl, Monday and lynched three of them. The other three were "acquitted" at a "trial" held by the mob leaders in the police station and were turned back to the police. After the lynching was over, furthur trouble was not anticipated although antional guards had been ordered here from Ft. Snelling by State Adjut. Gen. Rhinow and a company of local guardsmen ordered mobilized by the same authority. The mob did not fire a shot in the attack on the police station. Bricks and, sticks and stones were the only weapons used, until, in the final stage of the fight, they got hold of the firehose from the police and firemen who were trying to break up the demonstration and turned streams of water on the officers. Eight policemen and a newspaper reporter suffered minor injuries in the attack on the police station. They were hit by bricks or other missiles or were swept off their feet and severely bumped in the water fight. It was reported that three or four trucks and automobiles loaded with members of the mob, had started at midnight toward Virginia, where it was said four_other Negroes had been arrested in connection with the same case. We are very glad to have Mrs. Lovie Wilson of Canton, Miss., in our city, the guest of Mrs. Katie Stewart. Glad to have the Revs. King and Walker and Dr. Walle of Texas to spend Sunday night in St. Louis; they were enroute to Washington, D. C., to attend the Bantist Young People's Union. Rev. King preached a soul-thrilling sermon at Antioch Baptist Church Sunday night. The collection at Antioch Sunday was $121.23 and they were not having rally—just a liberal collection. So you see Antioch people believes in supporting the gospel. The members of the Corinthian Baptist Church Choir gave Miss Thelma Harris a grand reception Thursday night and it was quite a surprise to her to be presented a $500 gold piece as a token of appreciation from her co-workers in the choir. Sunday is Women's Day at Quinn Chapel and look-out for a good time this coming Sunday at Quinn Chapel. I thank you for this space. the Negro citizens of the country. But the thinking ones are looking into the line up. For example, while there may be those who would like to get away from the two major parties, they cannot consent even to a third party movement arrangement with Senator Borah a chief factor; while on the other hand, they have much-faith in some of the ideals of Senator LaFollette. THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES. Inquiry is rife concerning the attitude of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Neither is universally known, but good reports are coming in concerning both. Therefore a period of "watchful waiting" is in progress. Senator Harding is highly praised by all of the Ohio leaders who have worked with him in political warfare for more than a score of years. Charles A. Cottrell, of Toledo, former Collector of Internal Revenue for the Port of Honolulu, H. I.; Attorney Thomas W. Fleming, Councilman of Cleveland; President W. S. Scarborough, Wilberforce Univ., Attorney Alexander H. Martin of Cleveland; Joseph L. Jones of Cincinnati, and many others, are "de-lighted" by the nomination and say that "Harding is the man." Ormand A. Forte and Ralph W. Tyler of Cleveland Advocate have not decided what course they will pursue, but their protest has been more against some of those who surround Senator Harding than the Senator himself. The fact is, in Ohio, Senator Harding "know 'em by their first names." Senator Harding is a good mixer, is intensely patriotic, and a dyed in the wool Republican. As an orator he has few equals, and his eloquence had a charm that is infectious. In the matter of the Negro as a race, Senator Harding has never been known to attempt to do anything especially outstanding that would affect the group, but it is known that he believes in justice and square deal for all, regardless of race—his ideals have always been American rather than racial. As a thorough going American, Senator Harding has no superior—this is a fact none will deny, As regards Governor Calvin Coolidge, the National knowledge of him began with the police strike in Boston last year. He was in the front line trenches for law and order and he would not move an inch backward. When the smoke of the strike battle cleared away, it was discovered that the city of Boston, had sixty-five colored policemen where they had previously had none, and that Gov. Coolidge highly endorsed the new arrangement. The candidate for Vice President was a classmate of former Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis, of Boston, and Mr. Lewis says he is 100 per cent American, twenty-four hours in the day. Butler Wilson of Boston, who was in Chicago, during the National Convention could orate on the splendors of Coolidge with the ease of a Daniel Webster. "CARRYING ON" IN CAMPAIGN. Chairman Will II. Hays in Several addresses last winter declared that the Republican party must adopt the slogan of the World War fighters and "Carry On!" In carrying on for the campaign, the Negro voters will be among the most important factors. This will be true in the North as well as in the South. In the North, due to the migration from the South, the Negro voters will actually be the balance of power in many of the states. They appreciate their position, and as Attorney Edward H. Wright of Chicago, declared before the National Committee during the contests, the northern voters will hold the party responsible for the treatment accorded the south- Wichita, Kansas, Friday, June 25, 1920 C.

General Education Board Gives $943,000 For Negro Education New York City, June 25. $943,500 was appropriated by the General Education Board during the past week for Negro schools. This large sum was taken from the $20,000,000 that John D. Rockefeller recently donated to the Board's general fund; $500,000 for general endowment and $443,500 for Current expenses and equipment. Georgia Editor Shows His Colors Rome, Ga., June 25.—Commenting on the selection of Henry Lincoln Johnson as a member of the National Republican Committee, the Rome Tribune has this to say regarding the matter: "A Georgia Negro has been selected a national committeeman from Georgia by the Republicans. Whoopeel "It's niggers, niggers with the Republicans of the South. A "YAM" MOVEMENT Atlanta, Ga., June 25. - Inconnection with the plan to improve the condition of living among Negroes in Atlanta and the adjacent territory local welfare organizations have instituted a "Yam movement"" "Yam" farms are encouraged and shipping facilities for the product are being provided to enable the farmers to get the "fruit" to market. Home Building is also part of the general plan. Sentenced For Murder Union, S. C., June 25,- Albert Wilson, a young Negro of this city was convicted of murder in the first degree. Wilson shot and killed Bryan B. Butler, white, on the night of February 20th. His attorneys gave notice of appeal. Judge Townsend deferred sentencing the man to die by electrocution. Wilson received the verdict with calmness Supreme Court Gives Equal Rights Denver, Colo., June 25.—A decision that has just been handed down by the Supreme Court of this State accords equil rights to Negroes in shoeshining establishments. The case grew out of a refusal of one Peter Apostolos, a Greek proprietor, to shine the shoes of the Rev. W. I. Darious, a Negro. Judge W. P. Kinney of El Pas County sustained a demurrer of the Greek on the grounds that the state law did not cover boot blacking establishments. The case will now be refried in a lower court. George G. Ross of the Denver Star is interested in the case. Macon, Ga., June 25.—The funeral of Bettie Comer presented the unusual spectacle of white men acting as active pall bearers for Negro. Miss Comer had been a servant in the Holmes family for thirty-six years and had nursed each of the young men who bore her body to the grave. The pallbearers were the three sons and nephews of Dr. and Mrs.W. R. Holmes. AMERCAM LEGION STANDS FIRM FOR EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE Defends Negro Ex-Service Man Who Faced An Unfair Charge American Woodmen Hold Great Meeting In Newton The Superintendent J. I. Godfrey on the Job as Usual. The Order of American Woodman Lodge, Camp No. 15, located at Newton, held its regular meeting Thursday evening June 17. Ten new members were taken into the Lodge. We had the pleasure of having Mr. Frank Godfrey of Wichita, with us. After the business was over the members all enjoyed a very pleasant social evening at Hackley's restaurant where very pleasing refreshments were served. Thousands Flocking To Detroit Detroit, Mich., June 25.—One Thousand Negroes are coming into Detroit every week. This is the estimate of Forrester B. Washington who is making a comprehensive survey of the social and industrial conditions among the large number of these people who now are lodged in this city. Washington's survey also reveals that the living conditions in which these emigrants are forced to abide are wrecked, in the greater instances, and constitute a health menace that should be remodled at once. He advocates the erection of workmen's homes in large numbers as one of the means of solution. POOR SANITATION Wilmington, Del., June 25. -A complaint has been placed with the Board of Education by the Young Men's Progressive League concerning the filth and debris that has been permitted to accumulate in the playground at 16th and Walnut Streets. The matter has been referred to the Park Board. A large colored population lives in the territory adjacent to the playground.

He has confessed to all the crimes. School Board Dodges the Issue Lynchburg, Va., June 25. The building committee of the School Board has taken no step toward building either the pro- STANDS FIRM RIGHTS AND JUSTICE vice Man Who Faced An Charge Chicago, Ill. June 25,—Judge John Stelk of the Municipal court was made the target of charges preferred by Woodlawn post of the American Legion. The post accuses him of "unfairness" in connection with the trial before him of Wiley Gresham, a Negro charged with annoying women by writing obscene notes. It is urged that he be transferred to some other branch of the court. Chief Justice Harry Olsen received the charges. He said he would confer with Judge Stelk, but as the "unfairness" complained of consists of Judge Stelk's exercising his judicial discretion in refusing comparison of handwriting to prove the guilt of Gresham, he doesn't see what he can do about it. Gresham, a soldier who went overseas and won the Croix de Guerre was employed in the warehouses. When indescent writing and notes to white women appeared, Capt. Rogers called in several persons and got samples of their writing. Comparison of the samples led him to believe Gresham was guilty and he had him arrested. At the trial Judge Stelk refused to admit the handwriting of Gresham to be compared with that in the notes. He also criticised Capt. Rogers for statements he made to Gresham. "I don't care what Judge Olsen does about it." Judge Stelk said, "This just shows what the Legion is getting to be. It is trying to dictate to the judges and everybody else." In this case, when Gresham heard he was under suspicion he asked Capt. Rogers about it and told the captain he wanted to face his accuser. Capt. Rogers told him to "Get H—I out of here," and also said: "If you made a request down South to face a white woman who accused you, you would be burned at stake." "After the jury was discharged at the trial I told Capt. Rgoers it was not becoming of him to make such statements as he made to the Negro, a soldier who had been decorated for heroism overseas. The captain came to the bench and apologized for the statement and said he should not have made it. He went away in a good humor and therefore this action surprise me." posed school in Rivermount or the proposed colored high school in the near future. The high cost of building material is given as the reason. It is not likely that either of the schools will be built until next year. 112 Years Old Still Active Anderson, S. C., June 25.—Rachel Hammond, who claims she is 112 years old, walked into Anderson, last week from Pat Major's place, seven miles from here to press charges against Joe Whitfield for stealing Seven Dollars from her. She was born in Georgia and has lived in Anderson County for the past six years. Journalist Returns Greenville, S. C., June 25. Cleveland G. Allen a Negro journalist, has returned to Greenville, after an absence of 17 years. He was born here and received his early educational training in this place. He is a member of the editorial staff of the Harlem Home News and has written extensively for the New York dailies on questions affecting his race. For the past two years, he has been studying at the New York University, and plans to continue his education at Columbia University, during the coming year. --- A clearing house for the engineering thought of the country was created through the organization of the Federated American Engineering Societies, at an organizing conference of national, local, state and regional engineering and allied technical organizations, recently held in Washington. From the standpoint of engineers the federation of their organizations is one of the big events of years, and a large number of societies have participated in creating the plan. Calvert Townley, who acted as chairman of the gatherings, referred to "engineering as the common language." and it looks as though the affiliation of all these societies will affect a sort of engineering Esperanto that will appeal to all classes of engineers for better efficiency, since means have been supplied that will provide for joint action on matters of common concern. The word "engineer" has a lot of elasticity and it covers a multitude of necessities to the human race. More than 100,000 engineers, of all varieties, were represented by delegates at the big Washington gathering. These included chemical engineers, electrical engineers, mining and metallurgical engineers railway engineers, agricultural engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, marine and naval engineers, safety engineers, radio engineers, heating and ventilating engineers, automotive engineers, and engineers of every known variety whose specialities range all the way from refrigeration to handling refractory substances with sub-dued fire in the form of electricity. The meeting of the engineers proved to be of unusual interest, and as engineering and efficiency are naturally synonymous terms, it is a note worthy engineering achievement that is recorded in the announcement that the efforts of a number of the more progressive engineers of the country to bring engineering minds into closer contact where their ideas and efforts will be used for the good of society as a whole has succeeded. The object of the national organization is to further the interests of the public through the use of technical knowledge and engineering experience, and to consider and act upon matters common to engineering and allied technical professions. The council is to co-ordinate the activities of state councils and of local affiliations whenever these activities are of national or general importance or may affect the general interests of engineers. In effect it will be the federal reserve bank of American engineering Thousands of workmen engaged in the making of men's clothing have been thrown out of employment during the month. At the same time advertising pages of the metropolitan newspapers are carrying bold announcements of reductions in prices of these goods, that show very clearly that the country has been over-stocked. The big shoe factories of the country have been making reductions in their crews, and at the same time metropolitan shoe dealers are grudgingly owinging their profiteering prices. The munition towns, include Bridgeport, Hopewell, and lesser points have been hit hard by industrial conditions, and many of the places are already in the class of "deserted villages." ```markdown ``` people have farms. ev industrial permit'd For several years been deserting the identiy preferring occupations which them to live in the large cities, closer to the movies and the white lights. With Europe at war there was plenty to do for everybody, and when the United States got into the mess the greatest accession to the industrial ranks still found a shortage of labor. All of this industrial activity has born its fruits, and it is not strange that it has been found that there are too many guns and revolvers around Bridgeport, too many ships at Flog island, and more powder than is needed at Wilmington. At the same time Detroit seems to be catching up with herself in the manufacture of benzine buggies. The strike in the steel industry last Fall caused the wage-workers of the country to blacklist the steel trust. The result has been that there has been an under production in this field. The inventory discloses the unmistakable fact that in a large number of industries that have been considered in the "first class" by wage-workers that production has caught up with herself and that there is already a surplus of labor. In some other fields of employment in the industrial line, where the work has not been so alluring, or the hours as short, or the pay as big the day of the over supply of labor has not yet arrived, although it is noticeable that these institutions are catching up with their orders. Still, there is work for every body to do. The farms of the country are crying for helpers and every man out of a job in the cities can get back to work if he will forsake the bright high s and become useful as well as ornamental in caring for the growing crops that are to feed humanity during the coming months. There is neither an over supply of shortage of labor, as the conditions on the farms would lead some to believe. The situation simply calls for a radical redistribution of people who are willing to do useful work OUTBRITISHED ON OIL. The British boast that they control practically all visible or potential oil fields of the world outside of the United States. At the same time there are large British oil holdings in this country. The British Government has been backing up its capitalists in extending their holdings in oil lands, while the United States has done little outside its own borbers, except in Mexico. While our own country had a long start on the rest of the world it now appears, in the face of an oil shortage, that Great Britain is our chief competitor in oil production. The United States adopted the plan of other first-class powers in providing oil burners for its big ships. Now that there is not an adequate supply of petroleum, it appears that naval development is hampered. Evidently the United States had been outmanouvered by the British. Incidentally, it may also be stated that the British have been getting more than their share of sugar sweets out of the world market; and it is partly due to their superior generalship and commercial enterprise that the Cuban crop, even during war time, was in a large part diverted to England, whereas, by all the rules of the game, this sugar should have been at the disposal of American consumers. What The Department Of Agriculture is Doing Little Items About Big Jobs That Are Helping American Farmers To Feed Nations. Imported Butter Denied Entry. Several shipments of butter offered for entry into the United States from foreign countries have been denied entry because the butter failed to come up to the requirements of the Federal food and drugs act, according to officials of the Bureau of Chemis- Judge Richard E.Bird REPUBLICAN- I am against Compulsory Universal Military Training in time of peace. I strongly favor a fair and honorable program for the returned soldier, the burden of which shell be borne by the return of unholy profits from war contracts. I believe that of all activities in this country, farming and stock raising have suffered most, and I will do my utmost to protect this district which is essentially an agricultural district. It is not so much the time for harsh criticism as it is to look forward to a reconstructive congress. In a Republican Congress the Eighth District of Kansas and its interests can be protected to the best advantage by a Republican. try United States Department of Agriculture. The imported butter has to meet the same standards and tests as the domestic product. The majority of the shipments which were refused entry contained too little butter fat and too much salt and water, but a few contained boric acid, a harmful preservative. More butter came into the United States last year than during any other single year for the last 10 years. The quantity of butter exported from the United States was also larger than three times as much as the imports. The total imports of butter and substitutes for the year 1919 amounted to 9,519,363 pounds; the exports of butter for the same period were 34,556,485 pounds. The greater part of the butter imported into Canada, but shipments come also from Denmark, Australia, Argentina, and New Zealand. ..Of 300 shipments of butter from Canada examined, were denied entry into the United States. A few shipments from other countries also were not admitted because they were adulterated under the food and drugs act. Shipments of imported butter are carefully inspected at the ports of entry, and only such butter is admitted, say the officials in charge of the enforcement of the food and drugs act, as meet the standard which the domestic product is required to meet. Colton Cooperation Successful. Efforts made by farmers in the cooperative marketing of cotton have been very satisfactory, report cotton specialists of the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture. It is stated that farmers interested in cooperative organizations with which the bureau has maintained contact have uniformly expressed their gratification at the results achieved through their associations, and various statements have been made that from $2.00 up to $20.00 or $3000 a bale more for their cotton has been received, because of the assistance rendered by the organizations. The Bureau of Markets in cooperation with the extension divisions in several of the cotton States is making a close study of methods of cotton marketing and giving actual demonstrations in a limited number of markets to show farmers what they can do for themselves by means of cooperative organizations. The, bureau has also perfected plans for cooperative organizations for grading cotton which proved to be entirely workable, and so far as is possible with the personnel at its command the bureau will be glad to assist farmers in forming such organizations. Peach Fungicide Saves Millions. The efforts which peach growers of this country are making at this time of the year to forecast the size of the season's crop calls attention to the immense value of a fungicide developed by the United States Department of Agriculture with which brown rot, one of the most serious menaces to the peach industry, can be controlled. But for this simple, effective remedy the present forecasts would of necessity have to be made on an altogether different basis. The Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, which forecasts the 1920 commercial crop at 29,240,000 bushels (based on conditions, Apr. 5.) states that its reporters everywhere regard the fungicide as the big factor that prevents a decline of the peach industry similar to that from which apple growing has suffered in parts of the Middle West. Up to a few years ago there was no satisfactory fungacide which could be sprayed on growing peaches during the growing season without seriously injuring the foliage. Everything which was tried to control the brown-rot fungus resulted in damage that made it prohibitive. Finally a simple mixture made by adding flour of sulphur to slacking lime was found by the department's investigators to have just the right qualities. The peach crop of this country, according to the 1910 census, was valued at approximately $29,000,000. It is estimated that, with the increased production and increased prices resulting from control of brown rot and other fungus diseases, the present annual peach crop is worth between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000. Of this probably 15 to 20 per cent would be destroyed annually by brown rot if no control measures were used. On the other hand, between $5,000,000 and $90,000,000 is saved to the fruit grower and at the shipping points as a result of the department's discovery. Not only is the grower able to produce an increased quality of fruit but the sprayed fruit is much superior to the unplayed, so that its value is enhanced and all concerned—growers, carriers, dealers, and consumers—benefit correspondingly.

From time to time the Bureau of Animal Industry publishes a "communique" showing conditions along the wide battle front where the allied forces of Federal and State authorities are fighting cattle tuberculosis. The latest report indicates that since the beginning of the movement in 1917 the owners of 500,000 cattle have placed their herds under supervision. On April 10, 1920, 25,793 herds scattered throughout the United States, with a total of 537,240 cattle, were under the cooperative supervision of the Department of Agriculture and State veterinarians. There were 2,230 accredited herds-00,237 cattle known to be free from the plague. Over 115,000 cattle were on the waiting list to be tested as soon as the veterinarians can work with them. Still another lot of 258,331 cattle have passed through the first stage of the test without showing any dangerous symptoms. The least optimistic estimates indicates that two-thirds of this number will conclude the test satisfactorily, and add 170,000 cattle to the accredited column. French Like Our Canning Methods. Last year France borrowed three canning specialists from the United States Department of Agriculture. This unit taught a large number of agricultural directors and professors, assembled for the purpose at the principal French agricultural college the American methods of canning and drying. This year the Americans have been asked to continue the demonstrations and lectures. One of the unit is already there and the rest sailed the last of May. Instead of giving the instruction at one place in France this summer, short courses will be conducted in different parts of the country at the schools where those who attended the course last year have been teaching American canning methods. To facilitate the work, the French Government recently issued a bulletin which gives complete directions for canning by the American method. The material for this bulletin, which is the first of its kind to be published in French, was prepared by Frantz P. Lund, a member of the American canning unit. When the demonstrators went across last year they took with them 20 units of canning equipment, containing both tin and glass, can sealers and other articles necessary in the work, because many of these things could not be procured in France. This year, however, this will not be necessarv, as the French manufacturers, seeing how popular American canning methods were apt to become in France, began at once to manufacture certain of these articles. Inside of three weeks after the school started last June, one factory which previously had manufactured war munitions reorganized, invented an aluminum pressure-cooker, and turned out a thousand of them. The American method of canning, that is, cooking fruit and vegetables in the jar, is spreading fastly through all the civilized countries. The school held in France last year was attended bv Algerians, Syrians, Armenians, and Egyptians who since have been teaching the people in their respective countries how to can a la American. This year other countries besides France are requesting lectures and demonstrations on this work. Holland's Health and Nutrition Department, recognizing the value of plenty of fruits and vegetables in the diet of a people all the year around, has asked for 10-day lectures and demonstrations by the Americans. Denmark will call home her agricultural controls this summer from all parts of the world for two weeks' instruction in food conservation to be given by Mr. Lund. Belgium and England also have requested the loan of the canning specialists. The fact that in 1918, at a time when it was necessary that nothing be wasted, the housewives and club girls in America were able to conserve nearly a billion jars of food has made a deep impression on people in other lands, who now are anxious to learn how it was done. Give the Hog a Fish Course. The common domestic pig will never be able to write a book on table manners, but he knows how to order a meal as well as any one. He is in a fair way to demand a fish course to supplement his salad and vegetable diet. He will take his fish in the form of fish meal, the refined by-product made from sound, wholesome raw material at the sardine,UND and salmon canneries, or from the menhaden. The fish meal is not to be confused "fish scrap," a coarser by-product much used for fertilizer; the meal is made from clean, sound material and is intended to be used as food for cattle and hogs. Formerly, the cannery waste was all made into "scrap" for fertilizer purposes, but the Bureau of chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, knowing the extremely high protein content of the scrap, has been active in converting this material into a high-grade protein feed. The cleaned, selected portion is ground to a fine, palatable meal which may be used to replace tankage in hog, poultry, or dairy raions. Fish meal has been recommended as a supplementary ration before now, but popular prejudice against a badly prepared product has discouraged its use. The Department of Agriculture has proved by feeding experiments that fish meal equals the high priced tankage as a ration ingredient, and better methods of selecting and milling have removed the causes of prejudice. The oil content of the meal adds materially to its feeding value. So far the experiments have shown that the meal does not contain the animal product, whether it be pork, butter, eggs or milk. Moreover, by diverting the fish meals to his animals instead of supplying it directly to his land as fertilizer, the farmer loses but a trifle of its fertilizing value and gains its entire feeding value—thus making the material yield two profits in the place of one.

To my race, those leaders are not your friends, nor is any man be he white or black that will teach or lead you to disrespect the government and to make public ‘demonstration be- cause there are some unpleasant things existing, The laws of the land are plenty strongly worded but the sentiment of many communities are too weak and polluted to enforce them, Let each member of our race make himself feel that he desires friends by first being friendly. No race can hope to gain grounds to- wards union, respect and confidence, nursing prefudice and teaching race hatred.
