Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal

THIRD YEAR FOR BULLETIN-APPEAL Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All Minn. Historical Society Minn. Historical Dig. Mini Paul, Minnesota VOLUME III THIRI LOCAL BUSINESS MEN ARE GUESTS OF THE 'HOWELL Letters of Appreciation Sent to Acknowledge Hotel as Best in City. Many of the Twin Cities business men were guests at the formal opening of the Hotel Howell for dinner last Sunday. The following letters show the appreciation of three leading men on having visited The Howell: February 5, 1924 It was my pleasure to have dinner at the Hotel Howell on last Sunday, and to inspect the premises. The dinner was delightful and the premises scrupulously clean. I congratulate you and Mr. Ream and am satisfied that the hotel will receive the patronage that good management deserves. I was impressed with the two private dining rooms which can be used for committee meetings and small dinner parties, thus relieving the housewife of the work incidental to that sort of thing in the home. With best wishes for success, I am, Yours truly, W. T. FRANCIS. To the Editor of the Bulletin-Appeal. Dear Sir: Will you just allow me a little space to say a word about the Howell Hotel, under the management of Mr. Reams. It is just what we have been waiting for, for many years in St. Paul, a place where we could take our family and enjoy a good meal. I took my wife, daughter and Dr. Clarence Smith as my guests to dinner at the hotel last Sunday, and it was certainly a pleasure. The food was wholesome and dainty, and Mrs. Reams spared no pains to make us comfortable. The people of St. Paul should see to it that this hotel is successful because it certainly reflects credit upon the whole race. St. Paul, Minn., Feb., 1924. Mr. R. H. Reams, Mgr. Hotel Howell, St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir: With a party of business men of our group I was the guest of The Hotel Howell last evening and upon the invitation of your able and courteous assistance we were shown through the hotel. We were all much pleased not only with your service, but with the air of refinement that seems to permeate throughout, and it is to be hoped that your efforts to give our people in the Twin Cities the service that the discriminating public demands will be appreciated by their patronage. Very truly, FRED D. McCRACKEN. Myron Jenkins, address unknown, was arrested Tuesday and held without charge after an attack on Mildred Tate, 637½ Sixth avenue north, Monday night, in which Jenkins is alleged to have cut the woman with a knife. She was taken to the General hospital to be treated and was later able to go home.

BULLETIN-APPEAL Laud Nathaniel Dett as A Rare Musical Genius Laud Nathaniel Dett as A Rare Musical Genius The various musical critics are in one accord that R. Nathaniel Dett, composer-pianist, is a musician of masterful ability. The following are taken from various papers in cities where Mr. Dett has appeared: "Another group of musicians, of which Mr. Dett is one of the leading exponents, believes that the better way of the preservation of this beautiful music (Negro Folk song) lies in development of the original themes, development that shall conserve instead of destroy the original characteristics, and at the same time make them usable for presentation in concert form." May Stanley in Musical America. "A musician of pronounced gifts." —The Etude. "It remained for the pianist, R. Nathaniel Dett, to show how the character accents of Negro music may be developed into genuine art form." —Chicago Tribune. "Mr. Dett proved himself as facile and pleasing a pianist as composer." —Chicago Journal. "Mr. Dett's own compositions were enthusiastically received, some numbers eliciting applause before his conclusion. He is a master of the piano, the grace and technique of his execution showing his fine training and versatility." —Norfolk, Va., Journal and Guide. Oberlin Conservatory of Music. "I feel sure that he will fill a large Pythians Honor CharterMember At Testimonial Minneapolis Lodge Gives Loving Cup to Well Known Fraternal Man on Birthday. Elks' Hall, last Thursday evening, was the scene of a grand time when the Pride of Minnesota Lodge No. 5, Knights of Pythias, gave a birthday party and testimonial banquet in honor of Mr. Fred G. Thomas, who has been a member of that organization for thirty years, and presented him with a loving cup. A splendid representative body of over forty members of the lodge were assembled around the banquet table to listen to the testimonial addresses given. Previous to the banquet proper favorite games were enjoyed by the guests, who later gave audience to the speakers of the evening. Mr. James Burk gave a bass solo, followed by Mr. Thos. Stoval, Jr., with the saxaphone. Speeches Given. Attorney Wm. R. Morris, deputy of Minnesota, was the first speaker to eulogize the honorary guest. Attorney Morris was followed by W. C. Jeffrey, chancelor commander, who also gave substantial evidence of the faithfulness of Mr. Thomas. Other speakers were Byron Holder, Attorney Geo. G. De Vaughn, Ralph Watson and Mr. Wm. Moden. The presentation of the loving cup was made by S. Quay Herndon, Wm. Clark very gracefully occupied the chair as Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Thomas in his usual calm manner was deeply impressed with the honor conferred upon him by his brother Pythians and in his acceptance remarks related the occuring incidents of his thirty years as a member of Pride of Minnesota Lodge. Mr. Thomas received the congratulations of the lodge and of the members at the close of the banquet. DRAW THIRTY DAYS FOR LOITERING IN ARCADE Joe Wilson and Victor Daniels drew thirty days Wednesday morning in police court. They were arrested last night after a chase by police officers who found them loitering in the arcade of Husch Bros.' store. When arrested a stolen automobile blanket was found in their possession. THE NORTHWESTERN A. B. great, but in humility greater, in justice strong, but in compassion stronger, he became a leader of men by being a follower of the truth. He overcame evil with good. His presence filled the nation. He broke the might of oppression. He restored a race to its birthright. His mortal frame has vanished, but his spirit increases with the increasing years, the richest legacy of the greatest century. MEN show by what they worship what they are. It is no accident that before the great example of American manhood our people stand with respect and reverence. And in accordance with this sentiment our laws have provided for a formal recognition of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln; for in him is revealed our ideal, the hope of our country fulfilled. and its observance recommended as befits the beneficiaries of his life and admirers of his character, in places of education and worship wherever our people meet one with another.

"As a player he was most brilliant and expressive, and as a composer he won the praise and admiration of the entire musical community." Arthur E. Heacox, Prof. of Harmony and Counterpoint. "As a pianist he is very brilliant, his performances always creating enthusiasm. His finger technique is finished and his natural music ability is guided by the spirit of genius." George C. Hastings, Professor of Pianoforce. HENRIETTA IS SCENE OF BOTTLE WEILDING GAME As an aftermath to the dinner dance at "The Henrietta" last Saturday night, McGowan, known as "Cherokee," was hit in the head by a pop bottle wellded by one Mr. Smith, the first not having the desired effect two more were broken on "Cherokee's" head. The combatants were then ejected by the proprietor. They met again Sunday in front of the Henrietta and hostilities were renewed, Cherokee again emerging second best. The gentlemen shook hands and agreed to call it a draw, until some future date. Students of the science of Zymology are practicing on everybody. KAPPA ALPHA PSI 'FRAT' ENTERS THE NORTHWEST Dr. J. Walton Crump Heads Phi Chapter Which Is Addition to National Body. It is conceded that the Negro College fraternity is rapidly playing a tremendous part in the life of our group. The most recent advent into the life of fraternities here is the organization of Phi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Officers of Phi chapter are: J. W. Crump, president, physician and surgeon; W. V. Littlejohn, secretary, St. Paul College of Law; J. D. Thornton, treasurer, University of Minnesota. Members, exclusive of the officers, are: Ferdinand Johnson, Kenneth Stewart, University of Minnesota, J. B. Woodfork, Wilbeforce Illumni, and Rev. Carlyle Stewart, Wilbeforce Illumni. Pleges are: Sam Ransom, Beloit College; Elmer Morris, druggist, Creighton University, and J. A. Harris, St. Paul College of Law. It is expected that Phi Chapter will announce new members shortly. Some of the nationally renowned members of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity are: W. Ellis Stewart, secretary of the Liberty Life Insurance Co., who is the present Grand Polemarch; Atty. S. Joe Brown, Des Motines, Iowa; Earl Dickerson, Corporation Council, Chicago; "Duke" Slater, former Iowa All-Star tackle; W. Elder Diggs, Educator at Vincennes, Ind., and Robert S. Abbott of the Defender. Kappa Alpha Psi is the second oldest and largest Negro fraternity in America, ranking next to the Alpha Phi Alpha. It is now fifteen years old and growing more popular each year with the college men. In practically every accredited college in America where our group are represented the Kappa Alpha Psi has been organized. Phi Chapter is destined to play a big part in the college as well as citizen's life of the Northwest.

Above mean save only the of a wonderful woman his tender years, poverty she dowere FIVESCORE and ten years ago that Divine Providence, which infinite repetition has made only the more a miracle, sent into the world a new life, destined to save a nation. No star, no sign, foretold his coming. About his cradle all was poor and mean save only the source of all great men, the love of a wonderful woman. When she faded away in his tender years, from her deathbed in humble poverty she dowered her son with greatness. There can be no proper observance of a birthday which forgets the mother. Into his origin, as into his life, men long have looked and wondered. In wisdom Notable Members. One of Pioneer Residents of City Buried Last Thur. Mr. Milton Fogg, Sr., son of the late Henry and Jane Fogg of Nashville, Tenn., and beloved father of Margaret J. Ervin and Malinda Fogg, entered into rest Thursday, January 24, at 9:23 P. M., surrounded by his faithful and loving daughters and a devoted friend. Although he had been ill for the past five years, the entire community was shocked to hear of his death. Mr. Fogg was born in Nashville, Tenn., April 15, 1839, and at the time of his death he was 84 years of age and had resided in St. Paul forty-one years. While quite a young man he was united in marriage to Florence B. Phillips. Ten children blessed their union, of which two survive. During his residence in St. Paul he acquired a large circle of friends in both races and was highly respected. For a number of years Mr. Fogg was employed as coachman for the late J. J. Hill, afterward acting as foreman for the George W. Hall barber shop. Receives Pension. In 1839 he entered the Pullman service and as a reward for his meritous work of nineteen years he was honorably pensioned and was the Registration is Urged to Voters After making a survey of the various possible candidates for mayor, it seems to be the consensus of opinion of our voters to favor the present mayor for re-election. This sentiment was met after we had made numerous inquiries as to how our group felt toward the present administration. Mayor Nelson stands head and shoulders above any probable opposition. At the present time registration has not been considered very important by any voters. We wish at this particular time to advise our voters to the affect that early registration is necessary.

No star, no sign, foretold at his cradle all was poor and source of all great men, the love man. When she faded away in only porter in this district to receive such in 1912. Mr. Fogg was a sincere and devoted Christian, having been baptized with his wife in Spruce St. Baptist church, Nashville, by Rev. N. G. Merry. He was a member of Pilgrim Baptist church in this city. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from his late residence, 714 University avenue. The home was packed with hosts of friends and many were unable to gain admittance. The services were beautiful and very impressive. Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church spoke in glowing tribute of the deceased. The choir sang favorite selections and a solo, "Steal Away to Jesus," was rendered by Mrs. Hattie Loomis Oliver. His remains were borne to Oakland cemetery, where they will repose in a vault. The casket was completely covered with beautiful floral tributes. The death of this noble character is mourned by his two daughters and an only brother, Charles H. Fogg, of Seattle, besides hosts of friends. The family received telegraphs and letters of condolence from all parts of the country from life long friends. Simpson and Wills had charge of the funeral arrangements. Pallbearers were: Messrs. J. B. Johnson, H. A. Kirtley, W. A. Hilyard, Chas. Shepard, Wm. Hood, Robt.

Hudson Wins On First Charge Lloyd "Dick" Hudson, 3020 20th avenue south, well known football player, who was recently arrested and held on charge of highway robbery in connection with the robbery of three Twin Cities taxi cab drivers, was acquitted of one of the three charges in Judge Salmon's division of the county court Monday. Hudson is still confined to jail awaiting the action of the prosecutor's office on the other indictments. Hudson was ably defended by Attorney Robert Cowling, 846 Security Building, who, because of his interest and belief in the innocence of Hudson, took the case on very short notice. Despite the mass of evidence that the state's attorneys had gathered, Mr. Cowling absolutely convinced the jury of Hudson's innocence. After 3 hours' deliberation the jury reported a verdict of not guilty. Since Hudson has been cleared of the strongest case against him, it is thought that the prosecutor's office will dismiss the other charges. Sorority Girls In Annual Party A very unique tea party was given by Eta Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Sunday afternoon, at the home of the president, Miss Kathryn Tandy, 593 Iglehart avenue. This occasion, which is an annual one, was attended by thirty guests who enjoyed the diversified entertainment of the sorority girls. Select readings, musical numbers and steel guitar offerings were the features of the afternoon, after which a dainty repast was served by the hostess, assisted by Miss Rachel Gboden. Eta chapter, although numbering less in membership than some of its sister sororities, has progressed wonderfully since the organization. The members are well adapted to the necessary functions and are striving to do many things to build a greater sorority at the University of Minnesota. One of the recent laurels to be won by Eta Chapter is in the form of the acceptance for publication by the National Literary Bureau of "Lydia alias Josephine," a short story of college life, written by Miss Frances R. Smith. Eta Chapter plans many other things for this year. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS ANNIVERSARY IS OBSERVED BY LOCAL JOURNAL Friends of Publication Send in Greetings to Foremost Twin Cities Paper. This issue of The Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal is our second anniversary number, representing the beginning of our third year of usefulness in the Northwest. Needless to say, the 39 years of service given to the public by The Appeal before it became the property of The Bulletin, several weeks ago, the public was given an opportunity to secure a combination of 29 years of experience mingled with the progressive characteristic of a younger journal. The Bulletin-Appeal has proven itself valiant at every test. Its founder, Walter H. Chesnut, now deceased, might have no greater pleasure in surveying the accomplishment of his one cherished desire. Mr. Owen Howell, publisher, is primarily responsible for the splendidness of the publication owing to the fact that he has financed the edition through its most stormy periods. Mr. Howell has given to the Twin Cities something never possessed before—a live newspaper. Many more birthdays are our plans and we hope to make each succeeding one a greater Bulletin-Appeal. The Bulletin-Appeal was conceived and is maintained for the sole purpose of uplifting the race. Its ideals are those of progressiveness. Its hopes are for public purpose. It has always stood for justice and equality from within and without the race. The Bulletin-Appeal was one of the first race papers to speak out, in the recent fight against selfish leadership, by the papers all over the country. No newspaper adequately serves its purpose when it allows itself to be hushed with bribes or involved with any persons or organizations so as to prevent its functioning in a capacity that will aid in the uplift of the entire race. The realization of this fact has prompted the Bulletin-Appeal to dedicate its services to any proposition, lacking selfish aggrandement and individual monopoly, that serves to benefit the race. This has been one of the reasons for the success of the Bulletin-Appeal. Other reasons are that it has always striven to be authentic in every article published in its pages and if such article was not correct, ready to print the corrected article. The Bulletin-Appeal believes firmly in the worth of the race citizenry and ever strives to help mitigate any proposition that has for its purpose the lessening of citizenship. The editorial opinion of the Bulletin-Appeal has been quoted more than any other medium ever in the Northwest. This fact proves conclusively that the outside world has valued the progressiveness of the Northwest's journal and has reprinted its opinion. The support of every loyal race family or citizen in the great Northwest is solicited. The realization that we cannot function in the desired capacity without this support prompts us to strive for a greater journal than we have ever published. There should be a ten-page paper representing the race in the Twin Cities. If public support is forthcoming such will result in the near future. How soon it will happen is dependent on the value the public places on a real newspaper. We wish to gloriously thank our many friends for their support since we began in our attempt to serve the public in an adequate manner. The difficulties at times have been many. We have earnestly striven to be of value to those we serve. Being only human, we naturally have made mistakes, but never has our thoughts dwelled on doing anything other than giving our best for public purpose and seeking at all times to benefit our community.

Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS . “First in Service” MEASURING FACTS From the general survey of ‘the political field it seems that the six commissioners in office will'likely be candidates for re-elec- tion. Some of them have made a splendid showing and have ful- filled the promises made to the voting public during the last cam- paign. We hold in abeyance our choice of candidates until a more authentic survey can be made. The tremendous tasks that befall ‘a commissioner are of such that great care must be taken in the selection ‘of a man capable of engineering the executive posts as- signed to them. The safety and welfare of the public calls for sane * and deliberate execution of laws, and such cannot be the case when wrong heads are the governing forces. In view of these accepted facts, it is carefulness per se-to lend support to men and measures that work for the welfare of the people. The candidate who will not make good his campaign promises after election is one of base- ness and unwarranting the respect or support of his following. Such has been the case for many. years. , Realizing the Negro fre- quently commands a casting vote, many designing politicians have capitalized their false promises to secure these votes. The Negro voter desirous of securing the representation of citizenship has, in good faith, accepted these false promises as truths, only to find himself a deserted part of the community when favorable action should -have been taken.. A mepetition of this sort of consequence Sea ey penta co sre affes e ok ieee this spring. Such men as we have given unq support to, and found them want- ing when the crisis was negr, will not find the Negro voter his dependable ally when they seek re-election: t In the Eighth ward, where-many of our group own beautiful property, many instances have been shown where adequate im- provements have not been made consistent with the taxes paid. The paving between the street car tracks has been neglected while the franchise of the company specifically states that such paving shall be put in by the Street Railway Company that is consistent with necessity. We feel that such commissioners who are responsi- ble for these necessary improvements should have busied them-. selves to the securing of this paving. In as much as we,have en- trusted our civic development into the care of a representative body, we naturally expect that body to function in a capacity that will be characteristic of the belief the public has inatheir ability to foresee necessity and their integrity to deal without favoritism. ‘The Bulletin-Appeal is not a political journal, nor has it ever permitted itself to become so envolved with any party or faction 80 as to lose our individual identity. Since we serve a public pur- pose it is highly necessary and expedient that we enter such pub- lic affairs that have for their purpose the securing of unqualified recognition at all times and unmitigatéd- justice on all occasions. A such stand all public-spirited newspapers must take if they ex pect to retain the confidence of the people they serve. dies ” We believe that more of our capable citizens are entitled to consideration when the Se ren gov- ernment afte being passed on. if consideration has not been giv- en in the past, but the acceptance of the “crumbs from the Lord’s table” are forgotten issues with us and we seek to secure our right- ful position of citizenship with intelligence of action and concerted- ness of the use of man’s greatest asset—the free and unfestrained use of the ballot. ( é New history will be written’ when the profiteering politician learns he is dealing with men and not forms that bend to the touch of a deliberate lie laquered with promises. Let every loyal Negro register and vote for men and measures. It is only in this way we can receive our full quota of recognition. Border M. E. Church News By Rey. Robert Cheers.

Lacemakers, jewelers, designers of silks, wall papers and table linens, and even bakers and confectioners, are now borrowing the ornamental designs for their products from snowflakes, writes Wilson A. Bentley, snowflake photographer. During 41 years Bentley, who is a farmer of Jericho, Vt., has photographed more than 4,000 snowflakes, and asserts he has found no two alike. He adds that no two could possibly be alike, since the shape of a snowflake depends on temperature, humidity and chemical and electrical content of the atmosphere through which it falls. It is inconceivable, he says, that any two snowflakes could ever encounter exactly the same atmospheric conditions in their journey to earth. In one respect, however, Bentley declares all snowflakes to be alike—all are some variation of a six-pointed star. Though a casual look at the snowflake may seem to indicate that it departs from this form, microscopic inspection will always show the six points. Bentley began studying snowflakes with a microscope at the age of sixteen. Later he acquired a microscopic camera and had completed quite a gallery of snowflake photographs before he realized that the work he was nursing as a hobby had any commercial value. Then a lace manufacturer bought some photographs from him and since then he has found a steady market for his pictures.—Popular Science Monthly. DOMESTIC HELP IN PRUSSIA Employees Are Regulated by Law—Must Work 13 Hours Daily, and Have Two Hours for Meals. In Prussia, as in New Zealand, the hours of work for domestic help are regulated by law. Domestics shall not be kept on duty for more than 13 hours a day, out of which two hours must be allowed for meals. On every second Sunday and on official holidays their work must cease at 3 p. m. After nine months' continuous employment a household employee is entitled to one week's holiday with full pay, plus an allowance for board. Furthermore, the act requires each employee to have a "dienstbuch," in which are entered the owner's name, age, appearance (backed up by a photograph), particulars of former situations and wages received, together with "reasons for leaving" and "character." All these entries are signed by the employer and officially stamped by the police at each change of situation, so their accuracy is indisputable.—Detroit News. Rain Shifts Ranch. It is not often that a man goes to bed at night with his property in one country and awakens next morning to find some of it in another, but such is the case which has recently happened on the United States-Mexican border. An international boundary change, in which a portion of an American ranch has become Mexican territory, has taken place owing to the heavy rains in northern Mexico. After the waters of the Rio Grande had subsided, Ben Kell, a Texas rancher, found that the course of the river had changed somewhat and part of his lands were in Mexican territory. Kell is reported to have gone to Reynosa, in the state of Tamaulipas, to register the property now in Mexico. Described.

It was dusk, and the ticket inspector went to the young couple on the back seat of the bus. The youth, slightly impatient at the interruption, thrust out his folded tickets. "We do not stop there," said the inspector, politely. "Your medicine has helped me wonderfully," wrote the grateful woman. "A month ago I could not spank the baby and now I am able to thrash my husband. Heaven bless you."—Boston Transcript. HOW THE NATION IS PROTECTED FROM SERIOUS DISASTER City Without a Reserve Water Supply Against Destruction by Fire Likened by Bankers' Committee to Business Situation Without Federal Reserve System. A vital element in everybody's prosperity is that mysterious sounding "something or other" called bank reserve, says the Committee on Public Education of the American Bankers Association, adding: "It isn't an easy matter to make simple and interesting, but its importance to every man, woman and child in the country makes the effort worth while." The Committee continues: Money up deposit must always be ready for depositors when they desire it. Banks must also be ready to loan money, when needed, to their customers, or business would be hampered. In other words, prosperity depends largely on the ability of the banks to meet these demands—that is, depends on the "bank reserves." The problem of handling reserves has been difficult. The Federal Reserve System has met the problem more satisfactorily than any other method ever tried in this country. The Great Solution Our banks are managed by officers and directors, elected by their own stockholders. They are interested in helping the town to grow and prosper. But just as a local telephone station is valuable to the interchange of thought because it belongs to a system whose wires reach to all parts of the nation, so the local bank is valuable to the interchange of business because of its connections with other banks in the United States. finding its strength and its usefulness in being part of a system. For many years a plan was sought whereby our thousands of separate and independent banks could get together and cooperate for the improvement of our banking methods, and for mutual protection in emergencies, both for themselves and customers. We had periodical money panics, dangerously disturbing to business, and chargeable, in large part, to defects in our banking and currency system. There was no central bank from which the individual banks could get assistance in time of trouble. Panic conditions caused weak banks to fail, and even strong and sound institutions to be imperilled. Bankers, business men, and leaders in Congress for years made a careful study of banking and finally Congress passed a law providing for the establishment of twelve great Federal Reserve Banks, each designed to serve as a sort of central bank for such banks in its allotted territory as might become members of the Federal Reserve System. It retained the American plan of independent banks doing business under the management of their own directors and officers. About 10,000 banks have become members of the Federal Reserve System. The member banks in each district own the entire stock of the Federal Reserve bank there, and elect two-thirds of the directors. The other directors are appointed by the Federal Reserve Board at Washington, the Governmental body having supervision over the Reserve banks, though it does not operate them. Its members are appointed by the President of the United States. The Federal Reserve banks hold member banks' reserves. Formerly GETTING THE IDEA GETTING THE IDEA HEY!

SAVINGS MORE THAN DOUBLE IN DECADE New York-Reported savings deposits in banks and trust companies of the United States have more than doubled in amount during the past decade, and the number of accounts have increased by about 141 per cent, figures compiled by the Savings Bank Division, American Bankers Association, show. "If distributed equally mong our entire population, the savings deposits in 1912 would have given $99 to each each bank carried in its own vault the cash required by law as a legal reserve so that it would be ready to pay depositors on demand. The gold supply of the country was thus scattered among thousands of independent banks. When Fire Rages This situation may be likened to the old-time water supply in a town. Each house had to depend on its individual well, tank, or clister. Picture such a town attacked by fire. If the water was low in one well, from drought, or excessive use, water would have to be borrowed from a neighboring well. Suppose the water in that well also was at a low level. Thus the safety of all was sacrificed because no RESERVE water supply was at hand. The fire would become a confagration. Under the Federal Reserve System, we have a series of modern reservoirs, located in various parts of the country, each serving the needs of the banks in its own district. In each of these reservoirs credit is stored up to be supplied to the various banks, as the need arises. Each reservoir is in turn connected with all the others so that when the supply in one becomes low, the others may be temporarily drawn upon. By gathering the gold reserves of the member banks into the twelve Federal Reserve banks, a result has been obtained like that yielded by the construction of a great city water supply Each member bank formerly had to depend almost entirely upon its own resources in making loans to its customers. When it had loaned all of its own money, it could do no more, even though the merchant, manufacturer or farmer customer had great need of more credit, and was seeking it for highly important and necessary purposes. Hence arose what was called a "tight money" situation. Now the member bank can, and frequently does take the notes of its customers to the Federal Reserve bank, and borrows there in much the same way as the customer borrows from the member bank. This reserve-storing and loaning work of the Reserve System is only part of the wonderful protection and service it is rendering the nation. JUST HOLD STILL A MOMENT AND THE IDEA WILL STRIKE YOU!

Instead of North America and India, Africa is now the most important field of French colonial development, writes Henri M. Barzun in Current History Magazine. Here the French possessions have an area of 4,800,000 square miles; that is 17 times the size of France itself, and a colored population equal to the number of France's white inhabitants. The French colonies in Africa, which exceed those of Great Britain by about one-fifth, suggest a kind of confederation, slowly built up by the gradual acquisition of 20 provinces from 1830 up to the Versailles treaty. A beginning was made with the annexation in 1836 of northern Algeria, to which were added the colonies of Gabon, Congo, Ubangi, and Chad in 1841; Guinea and Ivory Coast in 1843; Somalia in 1844; Tunis in 1881; Senegal in 1889; Sudan, Volta, Dahomey, and Mauritania in 1883; Madagascar and Reunion in 1896; southern Algeria in 1902; Niger and Morocco in 1912; and the German Cameroons in 1919. The value of the African empire is seen in its trade both with France and with the world at large. Production is already nearing 3,000,000 tons yearly for the whole dominion, mostly raw materials for manufacturers and foodstuffs for export. As for the commercial balance, the day is expected when the 700,000,000 francs of prewar trade will reach 5,000,000,000. There could be no better prospect for French prosperity at home and for French exchange in foreign countries. Especially in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, agriculture is being developed on a large scale. The farms and cultivated fields cover immense areas, comparable only to the American Middle West. This necessitates the use of modern agricultural implements such as harvesters, reapers, binders, thresher and tractors, creating a market for American manufacturers of these machines. TO DECIPHER MANUSCRIPTS Photographers Find Ink Which Has Faded Into Illegibility May Still Be Opaque to Ultra-Violet Rays. Photographers have found that they can obtain very different effects when quartz lamps are used in place of the more common sources of light. The reason is simple enough. The quartz allows the ready passing of the so-called ultra-violet rays of light, which will not penetrate glass, and these in turn produce a different effect from the rest of the rays. With colored vases, flowers or dress goods the effects are equally surprising and sometimes may lead to important applications. For instance, a French photographer has found that ink which has faded into illegibility may still be opaque to the ultra-violet rays. By photographing documents on which the ink had been faded he has been able to restore the legibility. Moreover, the investigator has found that in some old documents, dating back to the Twelfth century, his quartz light photographs showed the original wording, which had later been changed in a still legible ink. Such a deciphering of old manuscripts which heretofore have not been readable ought to add greatly to our knowledge of other days. In the present, when many old manuscripts are being discovered, this process is invaluable. Duo-Negatives. In photographing subjects with intense contrasts the difficulty of securing the required amount of detail in the shadow without getting overdensity in the high lights is a common experience. The use of films makes it possible to overcome this difficulty by a simple expedient. Two negatives are made—one for high lights with a short exposure and the other fully timed for the shadows. The parts desired in each negative are then coated with celluloid varnish and the remainder removed with the well known red prusitate and hypo reducer. When these two negatives are superposed in register their combined effect is that of a properly timed negative. The method is, of course, one requiring some dexterity in the blocking-out process and is restricted to films of negligible thickness. He Should Worry. A Jew who had borrowed money from a friend used to walk up and down his bedroom night after night till he nearly drove his wife crazy. After he had been at it about a week she said to him: "Moses, vy do you valk up and down de room all de night?" He said: "I. valk up and down de room, Rebecca, because I am so vorried. I owe Isaacs $10 and I cannot pay him." "Vell," said his wife, "if I vos you I should go back to bed and let Isaacs valk up and down his room. It's hisorry, isn't it?" Pine Tree of Great Span. The spreading pine of Karasaki, on the shore of Lake Biwa, Japan, was one of the best known trees of the world, and one of the oldest. It was only 30 feet high, but it had a span of 154 feet. For many years it was visited by pilgrims, and tourists from other countries made a point to see it. Recently a solemn ceremony was conducted by a high priest in the presence of many other priests to transfer the spirit of this 1,300-year-old tree to a youthful descendant of 850 years, which sapling will receive the honors long accorded to the sacred pine. Over 500 Delegates Expect to Assemble, Says Simmons in Comment. (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—The Lincoln League, political, national, representative, practical and daring, has completed arrangements for a mammoth session in Chicago, February 11th and 13th. Postmaster General Harry S. New will represent President Coolidge at the session. Hon. John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican national committee, will be a special guest of honor, and will bring a message of political hope, according to arrangements. United States Senator Medill McCormick will deliver the address on Abraham Lincoln, February 12. Among other distinguished visitors who will probably be present are Senator George W. Pepper of Pennsylvania, who presented the resolution in the Republican national committee representing Southern representation, and Frank H. Hitchcock of New York and National Committeeman W. M. Butler of Massachusetts. According to Roscoe Simmons, president of the Lincoln League, more than 500 delegates and visitors are expected from all over the United States. There is a national committeeman from each state, according to the organization, and the convention will be made up of two delegates from each congressional district, and four delegates-at-large from each state. Robert R. Church of Memphis, Tenn., is chairman of the executive committee, Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta and Washington is secretary, Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, La., is treasurer and Perry W. Howard of Mississippi and Washington is legal adviser. Large Than 1920 It is predicted that the attendance at the sessions will be larger than in 1920, when the organization brought together the most representative group of men and women ever assembled for the consideration of political advancement. Next to the Republican national convention, there is more interest shown in the Lincoln League sessions than in any other national political gathering. Subjects of nation-wide interest will be presented before the convention for consideration and action. Among them will be: 1. Migration and Its Political Influence. 2. Best Methods to Defeat Class-Legislation. 3. Jim Crow Cars. 4. Colored Americans and Political Parties. 5. Congressional Election. 6. Politics and Industrial Opportunity. The day sessions of the convention will be held in South Park Methodist Episcopal church, and the night sessions in Greater Bethel A. M. E. church. Robert S. Abbott is chairman of the local Lincoln League committee, and Phil A. Jones chairman of the committee of arrangements. SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service) This is the time for a "We did it" chorus, rather than for an "I did it" solo. There were 3,682 patients admitted and 2,338 surgical operations performed last year at Freedmen's hospital. Dr. W. T. Merchant of Louisville will be one of Kentucky's "Big Four" at the Cleveland convention. Philadelphia can at least boast of having more colored centenarians than either New York or Chicago. Harry Wills has been offered $300,000 by Tex Rickard for two bouts next summer, with Firpo and Dempsey. Approximately 93 per cent of the Detroit colored males, 10 years of age and over, are gainfully employed. Colored farmers in Hallfax County, North Carolina, are making splendid progress with the aid of their Farm Loan Association. Baltimore has almost as many illiterate colored persons, 10 years of age and over, as New York, Chicago and Philadelphia combined. There are more colored chauffeurs in Pennsylvania than in any other state. New York ranks in second place, followed by Virginia, Georgia, the District of Columbia and Maryland. Great Northern Railway Establishes Remarkable Safety Record By Transporting Thousands of Persons Daily for Six Years Without a Single Fatality. St. Paul, Feb. 1—Nearly fifty million passengers were carried on Great Northern railway trains more than four billion miles during the last six years without a single one being killed, it was disclosed here today in the annual report of C. L. LaFontaine, general safety superintendent. The unique record, attributed to the intensive safety work conducted by the Great Northern, finds no duplicate in the reports of any other Northwest railroad. Officials of the transcontinental system commended the care given by employees to assure maximum safety in the operation of passenger trains as one of the major factors making possible this record. "The safety showing of the Great Northern at the end of the six-year period is a splendid tribute to the army of employees, particularly those engaged in the handling of trains, and emphasizes the exceptional efforts being made by the company to keep passengers in less danger of injury actually than they are on the streets of the average city," said Superintendent LaFontaine. During the last six years, Great Northern trains carried 47,022,858 passengers an average of 85 miles each without a single fatality. This is an aggregate passenger movement of 4,012,023,277 miles. Millions of dollars are spent every year in keeping locomotives and cars, rails and road-bed and safety appliances in first-class working order to permit the rapid movement of trains with a maximum of safety to passengers, executives also emphasized. Indicative of the large investment made to protect passengers and employees is the annual report of C. A. Dunham, signal engineer, which shows approximately $7,000,000 spent for safety appliances. An additional $1,000,000 will be spent this year to extend automatic block signaling, for automatic train control and for other safety devices.

THE BASELESS FEAR OF FINANCE'S POWER We speak of "coal"; immediately we visualize a pile of black lumps. We speak of "wheat"; in our mind we picture a golden field of grain or perhaps the farmer's load on route to market. PETER BURTON Finance is not a commodity. Being an intangible thing, it is greatly misunderstood. It means one thing to some people, another to others. Walter W.Head Waiter W. Head By reason of this mystery surrounding it, it is too frequently feared, and financiers assailed as enemies of the public good, using their power selfishly to advance their own purposes. No nation or people ever achieved greatness without the assistance of finance,—accumulated capital, managed and directed by those skilled in the handling of wealth and money. Accumulated resources are represented at times by hoards of gold, but more frequently by ships, herds, and other productive agencies. America measures her resources in terms of billions of dollars. She has thousands of prosperous homes, myriads of well developed villages and towns, thousands of miles of railroads and paved roads. This has been possible through the investment and use of capital or wealth created and accumulated by the citizens. When the early pioneers first traveled over the prairies, which are now rich and productive fields, their resources consisted only of a productive soil, a healthful climate, and the sunshine and rain necessary to the growth of vegetation. As the early settlers wrought and produced and prospered, they saved. These savings they invested in the tools of production — plows, harrows, Linders, stores, railroads, banks and manufacturing enterprises. THESE SAVINGS "FINANCED" PROGRESS. The building of the railroads was the great outstanding contribution of finance to the development of the West. The West owes a debt of gratitude to the investors in eastern states who ventured to invest their money in virgin territory, making possible development by the use of their accumulated resources. Bank deposits represent very largely the savings of the people. The loans they make possible are employed in productive enterprises. The development of the agricultural communities depends very largely upon the credits extended by investors in other communities. The development of municipalities is possible very largely through the sale of municipal bonds to investors in other places. All this is the work of finance. WAGES HERE AND ABROAD THE American factory worker is receiving wages the purchasing power of which is above the wages paid in any other country of the world. The British Ministry of Labor has made a computation of the amount of food which the wages of workers in different cities of the world will purchase. In the following table the purchasing power of wages in London is taken 100, and the purchasing power of wages in other cities is shown as percentages of this figure. The table indicates that the worker in New York can buy more than twice as much food with his wages than can the worker in London, while the worker in Berlin or Vienna can buy only a little more than half as much with his daily wages as the worker in London, or only one-fourth as much as the worker in New York. 217 180 103 100 92 87 87 85 70 68 67 61 57 55 New York ..... 217 Ottawa ..... 180 Amsterdam ..... 103 London ..... 100 Christiania ..... 92 Stockholm ..... 87 Warsaw ..... 85 Brussels ..... 70 Paris ..... 65 Prague ..... 67 Madrid ..... 61 Berlin ..... 57 Vienna ..... 55 An important factor in the differences between the rewards of workers is that the productivity of the American worker has been greatly increased through the use of large investments of capital for machinery.—Journal of the American Bankers Association. A recent summary of the agricultural situation grouped the needs as follows: 1. Increased and balanced production 2. Increased understanding of credit facilities The Agricultural Colleges are working out production problems, the banks the credit problems and co-operative associations appear to be greatly improving marketing facilities and business methods. GREATEST BOOK VERY BRIEF New Testament Has Been the Inspiration of Sublime Masterpiece. Jesus is as supreme in literary art as he is in ethics. The short stories from His lips in the Gospels are superior to anything written by Guy de Maupassant, Chekoy, Poe, Bret Harte, Rudyard Kipling, Nathaniel Hawthorne or O. Henry. The narrative style of the four evangelists has the dignity of simplicity; the letters of Paul, James and John are better illustrations of epistolary skill than anything to be found in Horace Walpole, Thomas Gray or William Cowper. Mystical beauty in language has never reached such an altitude as in the fourth Gospel and in the Revelation, says William Lyon Phelps. In addition to being itself the pinnacle of literature, the New Testament has been the inspiration of sublime masterpieces in other forms of art—in architecture, paintings, music. One has only to think of the medieval Gothic cathedrals, the paintings of Raphael, Leonardo, Andrea del Sarto, Michelangelo, Correggio, Murillo, the music of Handel's "Messiah" and of Wagner's "Parsifal." Out of that slender book flowed a creative impulse, the effect of which can hardly be exaggerated. The complete sayings of Jesus can be read in three hours; but it will take more than 3,000 years to record the results of His few words. That is what is meant by the last verse of the last chapter of the Gospel, according to John: "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written."—Ladies' Home Journal. PAINT ACTS AS DETECTOR Designed to warn mechanicians when engine parts are overheated, there is a new paint, which turns from its light red color to a deep brown at 70 degrees C., and to almost black at 85 degrees. When the overheated part is cooled, the paint turns back to its normal color. The changing color attracts the attention of those about and hence gives the opportunity of applying a little oil at the critical moment. The machine itself can be thus saved from complete destruction and all danger of fires from overheated machinery eliminated. The chemical properties of another paint, acalorin, stop the heat rays of the sun, so that when applied to roofs, the rooms below are kept from 15 to 35 degrees cooler. It is a light blue and can be applied to windows where the sun beats down and causes extreme heat, without appreciably diminishing the light. It is especially adaptable to corrugated iron roofs, which often make the interior of a factory or storehouse an unbearable oven in the summer. Even applied to factory walls, it reduces the temperature of the interior. It will go far in reducing the temperature of the attic rooms of the summer cottage which are usually uninhabitable. The Great Menner of Poste At the end of the Vita Nuova Dante announced his hope to write of Beatrice such things as had never been written of any woman. Not to write a new kind of book, for women had been praised before, as he implied, and there had been poems of vision and pilgrimages through hell; but his hope was to excel. He determined to speak no more of his blessed lady until he could praise her worthily, and to praise such a woman worthily would be to write such things as had been written of no other. In the same mood Milton promised his great epic—in passionate love of the best before him, and in the assurance of doing as well or better—"I began thus to assent both to them and divers of my friends here at home, and not less to an inward prompting, which now grew daily upon me, that my labor and intense study, which I take to be my portion in this life, joined with the strong propensity of nature, I might leave something so written to afterwards as they should not willingly let it die." This is the great manner of the poets—John Erskine. In the midst of a group of girls Bluebelle was reading from a movie magazine. "It is rumored," she read, "that Harold Perfecto, the eminent director, will shortly lead to the altar Angelina Angelface, the popular star. This culminates a tender romance—" "How utterly lovely!" gushed the girls. "As soon as Perfecto's divorce decree is handed down—" "Aw, cut it out." Filling the Vacancy. "Tobe, I'm sorry to hear your wife got a divorce." Tobe—Yessum, she done gone back to Alabama. Lady—Who will do my washing now? Tobe—Well, mum, Ise co'tin' again, and I co'ts rapid.-Cincinnati Western Christian Advocate. Medical Professor (after lecture)—Any questions? Stude—Say, professor, what are'the cockles of the heart? Hanged if I can find anything in the medical books about them.—Boston Transcript. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN-APPEAL Rich Ore Deposits in Mexico Owned by Spanish Friars Made Impregnable. Washington.—A sudden interest in buried treasure in Mexico probably is only a variant of the passion for lost mines that continually grips certain optimists of the southern republic, especially on the west coast, according to a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographic society. "Everyone on the coast seems to have at least one lost mine," says Herbert Corey in a communication to the society on which the bulletin is based. "Some rest on tradition only, while others have a sure documentary foundation. Entrance Concealed by Friars. "There is the tale of the mine near Arispe, for instance, the entrance to which was concealed by the Spanish friars just before they were wiped out by a reversion of their converts to ancient form. "A century or so later a searcher in the monastic archives in Madrid found the story. By this time the very existence of the old mine had been forgotten. 'One can see the opening of the tunnel from the door of the church,' the priestly writing ran. "Scores of prospectors took sights from the doorway without success. Then a bit of plaster fell away from an old wall and revealed a forgotten door, bricked up and covered over. "The one old-timer who remembered the legend brought out his glass and searched the hills. Sure enough, far up on the side of a canyon he saw something which seemed worth investigating. It was the gateway to the lost mine. A "Sure-Fire" Friars' Mine. "Not long ago an American got the papers to one of the veritable, surefire friars' mines. "A friar mine is one that was worked by the priest-conquerors in the fine days of old. They could pick and choose in those days, and they were good pickers and choosers. No one has ever heard of a salted mine being worked off on a friar. The very best mines in Mexico today are those that were opened by the sturdy old churchmen. "So when the American found his mine he looked on himself as a made man. "I only have to unwater it," he said, liking his lips. "Then the hard luck of the west coast began to operate. Someone must have broken a series of mirrors on the west coast. Things can happen there that could not possibly happen anywhere else. Bat Guano Found in Caves. "On the west coast are bats—millions, billions, numerical incredibilities of bats—which live in caves. One of the important industries of the coast is the gathering of bat guano from these dark holes. One sees the burro trains come in, day in and day out, the little animals patterning reflectively under the feather-bed-sized sacks of the fertilizer. "Some of the caves contain enough guano to load an entire freight train. Such a cave must contain the accumulation of centuries. "Well—and here is the hard luck—the bats had succeeded to the friar, his heirs and assigns, in the possession of that mine. For almost two centuries they had lived in it, until all the lower reaches were filled with guano. "Then the water came in and a light odorous quick-silvery mud was produced. It was too thick to be pumped and the water ran in too rapidly to permit the unwatering and unguanoing of the mine by buckets. "So there you are. A perfectly good mine, so far, as any one knows, has been made impregnable by the most harmless creature on the footstool." English Coin Brings $1,100 at Auction Sale London.—One of the most valuable of English coins was sold at auction recently for $1,100. The specimen was one of the 15 "Pettition" crowns, or 5-shilling pieces, issued in the reign of Charles II. At that time a Dutchman was appointed engraver for a new coinage much to the dismay of Thomas Simon, coin designer of the day. He therefore made an effort to regain his appointment by producing his "Pettition" crown, around which he engraved an appeal to the king asking him to compare his work with that of the Dutchman. 47 YEARS AGO AGAIN Corsicana, Tex.—Mrs. S. E. Huggins, who lives in Kerens, this county, and her sister, Mrs. Maggie DuBose, met here recently for the first time in 47 years. The sisters were reared in South Carolina and Mrs. Huggins came to Texas 47 years ago. The sisters corresponded for some time, but finally a letter or two from each to the other went unanswered, and each sister had thought the other dead for many years. Recently Mrs. DuBose moved from south Carolina to Texas, and soon after reaching there accidentally heard of her sister living here, and the reunion followed. A MAN OF THE SOIL Uncle Ted's Bed-Time Stories It was a cold, crisp, sunshiny winter day. The ground was frozen solid and the thermometer had registered way below zero for several days. One day it was so cold and everything was so frozen up that neither Jack nor Ruth could go to school. But this was a Saturday afternoon and it was warm enough, with plenty of blankets and a charcoal footwarmer to go sleighing. Uncle Ted had gladdened the hearts of his two chums that morning by announcing a sleigh ride and now at last they were on their way, the sleigh bouncing and skipping over the rough spots and the beautiful horses snorting as they, too, seemed to enjoy this little lark. "What an awful place to live," said Jack as they passed a little country home, out in the open where the bleak wind howled about its four corners. "Must be funny people to live in a place like that." "Perhaps it strikes you funny, Jack," said Uncle Ted, "but it may be that the boy living in that little modest home will be a greater man than you some day. When we get home and you kiddies are ready for bed tonight, I'm going to tell you about a boy whose life is brought to my mind by that little house." And so it wasn't so very long before bed-time and as the three chums gathered about a big, open fire, Uncle Ted said: "Jack, when you spoke of that little country house this morning I was reminded of a modest, country home, located in an even colder place, the hills of Vermont. In that little house, about fifty years ago, a little boy was born. He had a daddy who made a living for his family by working the soil, just as those people do whose home we saw today. This father and mother, good, God-fearing Americans, named the boy Calvin. His last name was Coolidge. That little boy grew as all boys do. He helped his mother and father do the work around the house and farm. He went to school whenever the opportunity was provided, at broken intervals as usual in the country. He studied hard because he was made of the right stuff and because he had an ambition to become a lawyer. "Time went by quickly, for Calvin was working hard. In his young manhood he moved to Northampton, Mass., where his honesty, ability and sincerity were recognized by those truth-loving New Englanders. In rapid succession he was elected a member of the Common Council, City Sollicitor, Mayor, member of the House, member of the Senate, Lt. Governor, Governor, Vice-President, and now President! While that list tells a wonderful story of the rise of a plain country boy, it does not tell us that never in all that busy time, did Calvin fail to return to his father's home every summer. "A lot of people may say it was a vacation for him to go back home every summer. But this sandy-haired, freckled-faced boy, now grown to manhood, was not content just to go home. He worked when he got there, helping his father." "You see, kiddies, there are a lot of politicians in the world, and a lot of them perform 'stunts' for political effect. Calvin Coolidge was not of that kind. Most public men who go back to the farm and do some real work take care to have a photographer along to take their pictures to put in the papers. Calvin Coolidge was not of that kind. He had been going back to the farm every year, not for political effect, but to keep himself in good health and vigor. He worked on the farm instead of playing golf or tennis. And nobody except the neighbors knew anything about it until after he became President. "It didn't take the people of Massachusetts long to recognize that he was a man who couldn't be swerved from his honest purpose and for that reason they felt safe in electing him Governor of that great commonwealth. Lots of times after he became Governor problems came up that looked difficult for this Vermont farm boy. There were times when the wise politicians said he was killed, politically. But he wasn't, and why? "Because when he believed in a thing, he believed in it because it was right, and nothing could change his mind. The people recognized quickly that they had elected a statesman and not a politician to the Governor's chair, a man who had the courage of his convictions; a man who could not be pulled away from the course he believed to be right. There is a great lesson there for you kiddies. Find out what is right in this world and then stick to it. It is always the best policy. the soil, this real farmer boy who loved his country and who stood for all those things that are honest and clean and who worked hard, is the sort of boy to try to be like." "I feel different about that little old country house, Uncle Ted," said Jack. "I just didn't realize all you told us tonight." "And lots of people don't realize it either, Jack."

Firpo-Wills Go For $200,000 Buenos Aires.—Louis Firpo, the Argentine heavyweight, received a cablegram from Tex Rickard offering $200,000 for a fight between him and Harry Wills in July and proposing another fight between Firpo and Jack Dempsey in September. Firpo said he would not decide until the arrival of Hugh Gartland, his New York representative, who is on his way here and who notified Firpo that he had an offer of $250,000 for a fight with Wills from Newark promoters. Firpo explained that he was no longer bound by the agreement he made with Rickard after the Dempsey match to fight Wills, because the time limit for Wills' signature to the agreement had expired; hence he was at liberty to accept the Newark offer. Rickard said in his message to Firpo that it had been difficult to arrange a match with Wills.

CHURCHES SHOW BETTER Cincinnati, Ohio.—In the churches the year just closed has been productive of prosperity. Pastors are better paid, old churches renovated, new churches built. We cannot say that they speak for much betterment of their respective communities, since they devote too much time to the next world and so little to this. Churches should go strong for every little movement that tends to the civic and general improvement of the people. If God had wanted all of our thoughts and actions concentrated upon the next world, we would have been colonized there. Mrs. Mary B.
