W.H.Reams Sells Acme Club Cafe W.H.Reams Sells Acme Club Cafe The Acme Club Cafe, which has been successfully operated by Mr. W. Reams, will change ownership on the 25th of August. Mr. Reams has sold the cafe to Mrs. Bannister, who formerly conducted a restaurant at Utleys. Under Mr. Reams' management the Acme Club Cafe has rendered excellent service. The meals served there have been of the very best, and he has enjoyed the patronage of some of the leading business men of the city. As a chef of many years' standing, he was able to satisfy the most exacting and the public regrets very much his retirement from this business. However, it is hoped that the new management will adhere to his same policy. Mr. Reams will still remain in St. Paul, but will engage in some other line of business. Mrs. Nannie Jewel, instructor for delinquent boys in St. Louis, Mo., is the guest of Mrs. Ed. Williams, 561 Rondo St. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Business League Plans Style Show The St. Paul Negro Business league's second annual exposition and style show, the third week in November, will far eclipse any of its kind. Reports coming from the various chairmans state that a large number of exhibitors are inquiring for space. This indicates to the league that it will be the greatest exposition ever held in our city. The committee has not decided where it will be held, but they are negotiating with the officers of the Union Hall association for the entire building during that time. If not successful, they will have to secure other quarters with adequate space. Keep boosting for a Greater Style Show and Exposition. URBAN LEAGUE OF WINDY CITY GIVES FINANCE REPORT Secretary Gives Report on Newly Formed St. Paul Organization of League. On Tuesday last a quarterly meeting of the Executive Board of the National Urban League was held in the Russell Sage Foundation Building, New York City, at which time the financial report of the League's work for the first half year indicated that the national organization has expended $25,210.91 in furthering its work. The Executive Secretary, Eugene Kinckle Jones reported the formation of the St. Paul Urban League, which is beginning to handle the social problems of the Negro newcomers in St. Paul. The St. Paul organization, beginning November 1, will be supported by the Community Chest of that city. The League is now making social surveys in Waterbury, Conn., and Buffalo, N. Y. A. L. Foster, former Boys' Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Columbus, Ohio, has been appointed Executive Secretary of the Canton, Ohio, Urban League, and Sampel A. Allen, Principal of the Public Schools in Lawside, N. J., and School Examiner, has been appointed Executive Secretary of the Boston Urban League. The Urban League plans to hold its Annual Conference in Kansas City, Mo., October 16 to 19, at which time problems of Health, Housing and Industry in connection with the migration of Negroes to the North will be discussed. The league decided to award four fellowships of approximately $600 each for the next school year to the New York School of Social Work and the Carnegie Institute of Technology The Local Branch The plans for the success of the St. Paul League have been thoroughly made. The work will begin after the arrival of Mr. Carter, the new secretary from Louisville, Ky. The part that the Urban League will play in St. Paul is well considered by the executives of the community chest as plans have been consummated whereby the chest will help finance the work. The eastern cities have enjoyed the benefits of the great organization so it is necessary that the people of our city give their best support in making the work a grand success. This can be done so let us all get out and boost for the successful maintenance of the local branch of the Urban League, Mr. Elmer Carter and Mr. T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary, are scheduled to arrive in the city shortly. Mrs. L. A.

About fifty men of our group are employed on the job in skilled positions. Our own Dwight T. Reed, rated as one of the best paving engineers in the city is also on the job. Elsewhere The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., started business twenty-five year ago on a six dollar cash capital. It has now paid in capital of $100,000, assets $750,000, reserve $462,592, surplus $100,000 and $$236,000 on deposit for the protection of its policy holders. It has over $20,000,000 of insurance in force and has continuously paid dividends for twenty-five years. It is now doing business in about twenty-five northern and southern states and will soon enter the northwestern field. A wonderful record for a race enterprise. HARDING GOOD TIFFER, SAYS THIS YOUNG CADDY (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Aug. 17—The late President, Warren Gamaliel Harding, if the word of a grateful caddy is to be taken into account, was a generous tipper. Jesse Hooper the caddy, a youngster 15 years old, sojourning in this city from Tampa, Florida, heard that the chief executive was ill and expressed great sorrow. He declared that he had added for Harding and that the latter had been generous, almost to a fault, in rewarding him. "Thank God, the President is getting better," he exclaimed after reading one of the hopeful bulletins issued just prior to the President's death. $50,000 OFFERED FOR WILLS-DEMPSEY BOUT (By The Associated Negro Press) New York City, Aug. 17—$50,000 has been offered Jack Dempsey if he will sign a bona-fide contract to fight Harry Wills for the heavyweight championship before he fights Firpo. The offer is made by Harry Verner and Simon Flaherty, boxing promoters, who declare that Dempsey is only the "white champion of the world," and not the legitimate holder of "The Championship." Wills is holding his mouth tight shut since he gave out the statement, "I can whip Mr. Dempsey." NEW BUILDINGS PLANNED AT BOYS' REFORMATORY (By The Associated Negro Press) Columbia, S. C., Aug. 17-The State Reformatory for Negro boys is in a sad state of decay according to the reports of Maj. James C. Dozier of the state board of public welfare. His report on the conditions found there calls for a new building and a complete reformation in the methods used in the handling of the boys. It is agreed that his recommendations are likely to be adopted. Good services last Sunday. Three united with the church. The total offering for the day was $118.00. Rev.

M. E. Church Elks' Election Is Held Vital To All Interested Members Elaborate Service to Be Held for Week Commencing on August 19. REV. J. J.

E. church, 22nd street and 10th avenue, Minneapolis, will celebrate its thirty-eighth anniversary beginning Sunday, August 19, and extending to August 26. Elaborate plans are being made under the direction of Mr. Edward Hammond to make this one of the greatest sessions in the church history. Each auxiliary of the church has joined in making the anniversary a success. Under the capable leadership of Rev. J. J. Evans, who is now serving his fourth consecutive year, is doing a great work for St. Peter's church within the time of his pastorage St. Peter's has developed into one of the greatest churches in America.

Chicago, Ill., Aug. 17—Who is going to lead the antlered herd after the conclave? This question is the one heard oftenest as Chicago bends to the task of preparing a typical windy city welcome for the Best People on Earth. A multiplicity of candidates for the various offices have shied their hats in the ring and are being boosted by the political wiseacres who are predicting victory for their various favorites. Dr. Howell of New York, piloted by Harry Pace, will doubtlessly have the following of the Empire state delegation. Robert R. Jackson of Chicago, a powerful factor in many fraternal organizations, will certainly wield considerable strength among western delegations; also Wm. R. Morris of Minnesota is likely to prove a strong candidate; while J. Finley Wilson, the present Grand Ealted Ruler on account of the remarkable success THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL Coy, president; Stewardesses, Mrs. Annie Nelson, president, and Men's club, Mr. R.

Besides the parsonage repairs the church has been beautifully decorated. With the massive pipe organ and beautiful electrical fixtures, St. Peter's church is truly an interesting place to behold. A most excellent program of good speaking, singing and instrumental music will be rendered each evening during anniversary week. Special decorations for the church have been made by the committee in charge. The program will last from 8 to 9:30, after which refreshments will be served in the church basement. Rev. Evans Progressive. At no time in the history of St. Peter's church has a more progressive minister been in charge than Rev. Evans. Capable, alert and always ready to give his assistance to upbuilding of humanity, he has been a beacon light to the progress of his church. Many of the successful affairs of the church can be attributed to his initiative and foresightedness. The public is invited to every meeting, not only during the anniversary week, but to all services of St. Peter's church. The benefits of this great organization are felt throughout the Northwest and everyone should know that Rev. Evans and St. Peter's church stand for the uplift of God's kingdom on earth and the progress of humanity. which has attended his term as leader of the horned hosts looms as a certain bet to upset the one term idea and succeed himself. Ruler Wilson really delivered. All of the above possibilities are said to hinge on one thing and that can be summarized in one name, that of Grand Secretary George Bates. He is described as being the real power behind the throne and it is commonly known from past experience, that the Grand Secretary who functions noiselessly but efficiently has usually been the balance of power. Col. John R. Marshall, exalted exalted ruler of Ft. Dearborn Lodge, Chicago, hosts of the convention, is an active candidate for Grand Treasurer, and his chances for success are extremely good, provided R. R. Jackson is not elected Exalted Ruler. Col. Marshall, formerly commander of the Eighth Illinois, is vice-President of the Blinga State Bank, which in that event would become chief depository.

They condemned the Minneapolis council for giving an official welcome to an ex-convict from Leavenworth prison. One Bental, who was convicted for obstruction of war activities and sedition utterances. The most interesting thing was the adoption of a resolution from the Leslie Lawrence Post of the St. Paul Legion. The Leslie Lawrence Post was represented by Atty. Geo. W. Hamilton, Jr. Mr. Hamilton was assured of the support of the Minnesota delegation, to the National convention at San Francisco in October in helping put over the resolution. The following is the resolution adopted at the state convention. That in as much as the Federal government has found it necessary to place disabled colored veterans in a separate hospital in order that they may obtain proper attention. BE IT RESOLVED. That the Federal government should carry out its original plan and place a complete Negro personnel of doctors and nurses in the Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama. However, should this appear impracticable, then be it FURTHER RESOLVED that a suitable location for the hospital for colored veterans be found where the government can carry out its original plan. SHRINERS MEET AT INDIANAPOLIS (By Jose Sherwood) The reports from Indianapolis confirm the belief that the recently closed session of the Imperial Council of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine was one of the best, if not the best, ever held by that body. The attendance was good; there were more Patrols than ever before, and many new features were displayed by them. Pittsburgh made the biggest hit with their Oriental Band, an acrobat who performed all along the line of march and their beautiful little Princess, borne seated in a chair and borne by four men. Chicago, Louisville, Columbus and several others brought their own bands. At the open session the Mayor welcomed the Shriners and the Daughters of Isis. The Governor canceled his acceptance to speak at the very moment, on account of being compelled to meet the train bearing the body of President Harding, but sent a very able representative. Former Mayor Jewett also spoke and delivered a splendid oration. Responses were made by Mr. Charles Cottrell for the Nobility and by Mrs. Harriett V. Sherwood, for the Daughters. The City was beautifully decorated even the business district in the heart of the city showing profusion of colors. The report of the Imperial Potentate was very encouraging; he told of the progress of the suits against the Order and said he felt certain they would all be ended within the coming twelve months. Three new temples and additional members shown. The Patrol Drill contest was won by Chicago, Columbus second and Louisville third. Indianapolis did not drill, because it was the entertaining Temple. Caesar R. Blake, Jr., was re-elected Imperial Potentate; Harry Knight, Imperial Deputy, Howard C. Gilbert, Imperial Chief Rabban, Clarence Baxter, Imperial Assistant Rabban; A. W. Brasier, Imperial High Priest and Prophet, D. A. Oliver, Imperial Oriental Guide, Charles D. Freeman, re-elected Imperial Treasurer and Levi Williams, re-elected Imperial Recorder. The next session will be held in Pittsburgh, Pa. An account of the sessions of the Daughters of Isis will be published next week. PRICE: FIVE CENTS REGION OF LAKES CALLS MANY TO VISIT IN ST.PAUL Tourists From All Sections Are Amazed at Wonders of Minnesota. MANY LAKES VISITED BY SUMMER GUESTS Social Entertainments of Gay Pomp Characterize Northern Spirit. The Twin Cities are sharing honors in helping our many summer visitors to find the "Eden" spots of Minnesota. No park in the two cities or the many surrounding pleasure resorts have escaped the camera snap shots of the pleasure seekers. To the happiness of all concerned this has been an ideal season so far; cool evening and warm days have placed a never to be forgotten influence over them and plans are being made by some to spend next season here among newly found friends. August Popular Month Seemingly this month has gathered a larger quota of tourists than any of the preceding ones. Representatives of New York, California, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Georgia, North and South Dakota, Montana and several other states are all agreeing that Minnesota is the playground of America. The month of August is usually heralded as a month of vacations so this year is true to tradition in giving recreation to hundreds of tired minds and bodies. The cosmopolitan atmosphere of the Twin Cities together with their natural pleasure possessions will be of much incentive for return trips. Social Events Too Tramps and car rides have not been the only recreating possibilities as much time has been given dances, parties, excursions and many weekend visits. The Twin Cities have established themselves as a mecca for tourists. Another asset is that chapters of the leading college fraternities and sororities are established here. The collegiate guest have not had occasion to forget their fraternal connection while sojourning in the city. Teas for the girls and appropriate meetings for the boys have been advanced for the school group. We are always glad to have our guests enjoy themselves and the Twin Cities welcome them back at their convenience. Spencer Floral Moves Location The Spencer Florist Shop, which was established in 1911 and located at 117-119 Endicott Bldg., will move to 110 East Sixth street in the Chamber of Commerce Bldg., opposite Mannheimers, about the 20th of August. This shop is one of the most exclusive in the city. The open. Whether it be corsage, bouquet, ing will take place about the 25th floral center piece, wedding decorations or funeral designs, the work of Spencer displays a distinction of originality. In various floral shows their designs have received the highest awards. Mrs. Agnes Spencer, who conducts the Spencer Floral Shop, is a woman of refinement and culture. Backed by keen business judgment, she has reached the pinnacle of success by her splendid ability. She caters to the wealthiest families of the Twin Cities and also receives a large patronage from the best people of our race. The cosmopolitan atmosphere characteristic of the Spencer Shop is of such that none ever visits this store without retaining a lasting impression of the distinctiveness of her capable management.

To be by all and attempted to be solved in a space that is being set by the younger girl to the older ones and if certain protected grave fear, for our future father and good time, coupled with unrest, is in a large measure responsible of affairs.

We children for the lack of interest dispel day there will be a reckoning and that their harvest of the seed now being their literature and cheap movies is biggest thing is willful neglect on the child's progress, and these are What is to become of our young people? This question is being pondered by all and attempted to be solved by many. The mad, reckless pace that is being set by the younger group is causing much unrest to the older ones and if certain protective measures are not adopted grave fear, for our future fathers and mothers is held. Jazz and good time, coupled with unrestrained youthful indiscreet, is in a large measure responsible for the present conditions of affairs. Who is primarily responsible for this modern, dangerous, diversion of life? It may seem unreasonable to some when we fix the direct responsibility on the parents, but it is never-the-less true. What has become of the mothers, who, exercised sufficient influence to protect the daughter's interest, until maturity is reached, and the fathers, who knew of the whereabouts of their sons after midnight? Too much is taken for granted. It is expected that the school will supply the training that should be given in the home. Schools can only give a certain amount o training to children; the most essential must be given in the home. Do parents actually feel that strong mind and sturdy bodies can be developed from midnight orgies and auto sprees? Or have they reached a point of disinterest concerning their children welfare. You may call it modernism or any other kind of "ism" but there can be no exterior covering to rectify moral degeneracy. Fifteen and sixteen year old, lip rouged, eye brow-penciled, long skirted daughters wriggling in the arms of a seventeen year old bell bottomed, high waisted, cigarette puffing sons, to the strain of syncopated melodies, is the picture before us of our youthful civilization. Can we wonder at the wave of crime now existing or the trend towards immorality when parents turn their children loose, as so many calves on a hillside, to roam as they desire? Many of us remember the days of the willow branches and razor strop for incorrigible children, that day is seemingly replaced by the day of letting them have their fling; and the children are having it. It is a disgrace to motherhood and a reflection on fatherhood when cognizance is taken of the conditions facing us. There must be a turn in affairs if the young generation is to be built into worthwhile fathers and mothers. We pity these unfortunate children for the lack of interest displayed by their parents. Some day there will be a reckoning and those responsible will then reap their harvest of the seed now being sown. Bad associates, filthy literature and cheap movies may play their part but the biggest thing is willful neglect on the part of those responsible for the child's progress, and these are usually the parents. SELFISH LEADERSHIP the greatest obstacles to the permanent in the fact that few of our leaders have interest. They, being placed in frequently called on to suggest a merit. Owing to the worth of the result for them to suggest an efficient, often usually given. After much debate directly suggest themselves.

They, being placed in advantageous places, are frequently called on to suggest some race person for a position of merit. Owing to the worth of the position it is exceedingly difficult for them to suggest an efficient person, according to the answer usually given. After much debating they usually directly or indirectly suggest themselves. For ordinary appointments, it is quite easy to find someone to fill them but when it comes to something of an executive nature these leaders would have the other group believe that capable men and women, in our race, are few and far between. Such being the case, the only course to be pursued is one that tends toward the persons sought for information, and they are always glad to serve for the good of their race! In keeping the other group ignorant of the ability within our ranks, these leaders are able to grab the peaches for themselves. We welcome the time when our leaders will be broad enough to say, "John Smith is a brilliant and should be acceptable" instead of only being able to see their ownselves. Ninety per cent of our genius has never been given a chance to develop and if given an opportunity, some of our accepted potentates would have to look to their laurels. Can it be out of fear, that, many of our leaders are unable to realize the qualities of others or do they fear for the safety of their own success if some of the "lesser" ones are given recognition. Selfishness is one of the curses of humanity. It robs people of their finer selves and forces them to resort to low tactics to remain in their existing status. It supplants a desire to lift and build. Education frequently succumbs to selfish desires to the extent that many fear for their own safety lest some unacknowledged person prove too capable. Let us learn to forget individuality and work for the good of all. It should be a delight for our leaders to point to the many able ones of our race that are capable of filling positions of worth. The more who are given a chance to prove their metal the sooner will the other group realize that many race people possess ability and education is not limited to a few in the limelight. The race needs broad minded men to work for the upbuilding of humanity; not quite so big I's and Little You's. IT'S A POOR START back, we looked with cheerful expectance to be accomplished by President Coolidg doubtful concerning our good opinion because of his endorsement and the Slemp as his secretary. Slemp, who is from Virginia, is credited with "Republican party" in his home state party refused to honor the presence of a coalition held by the Republican party. The result of the segregation at the nation of a third party, by the race fact, he was the opposition that Slemp of the following election. He was credible from his state in the Assembl Last week, we looked with cheerful expectancy, toward the great work to be accomplished by President Coolidge. This week, we are growing doubtful concerning our good opinion of the new President, because of his endorsement and the appointment of C. Bascom Slemp as his secretary. Slemp, who was formerly representative from Virginia, is credited with organizing the "Lily White Republican party" in his home state a few years ago. This party refused to honor the presence of race delegates at the convention held by the Republican party in the state of Virginia. The result of the segregation at the convention was the organization of a third party, by the race faction of the state. So formidable was the opposition that Slemp declined to be a candidate at the following election. He was credited with being the only Republican from his state in the Assembly. The Calibre of man he proved to be shows conclusively that a southern republican is no different to any other party man when it comes to being prejudiced. Now as secretary to the president, Slemp is likely to advocate a "Lily White Nation." His nearness to the Chief executive is one of much concern to us, considering the fact that we know much concerning his perfidy and that his ap- pointment pleased Mr. Coolidge. The new secretary is a pure southerner born, reared and educated into the Vardaman style of thinking. If the present trend of affairs is characteristic of what is to come we must not hope for much at the hands of the Coolidge administration. Have just been informed that a rather prominent man of Minneapolis is criticising me rather severely because I live in Minneapolis and write for a St. Paul paper. It rather strikes me as narrow criticism. I can't remember that I have ever in any of these articles sought to exploit either one of the cities over the other one. In all cases whenever I have proposed or suggested a movement I have always referred to it as a Twin Cities affair. It seems to me that the interests of the two cities, especially where our race is concerned, is so closely linked that everything of a racial order should be co-operative. Primarily though, I felt that I wanted to reach the greatest number of the people. Naturally, I thought what to my mind was the best circulating medium, and I don't believe there is any doubt in anybody's mind who is conversant with local conditions, but that the Bulletin is that medium. I am a Twin Cities man and have friends and interests in both places. Every one is making ready for Chicago, and the Elks, of course, anticipating a great time. The Bulletin is going to make a special effort to give its readers the most complete report of the official proceedings that the Northwest has ever had. Every number of the order, both men and women, should make arrangements for some extra copies of Elks' week Bulletin. You'll be in there and will want some papers to send away, so put your order in early. NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN HOTEL HOWELL SCENE OF PRETTY CARD PARTY One of the prettiest card parties of the summer season was given Wednesday afternoon by Dr. Lillian Lewis at The Hotel Howell in honor of Mrs. Wm. Robinson of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Clarence Porter of Columbia, Mo., Mrs. Henry Dunn of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. A. Sanders of Memphis, Tenn. The guests were seated at fourteen tables and played progressive whist, Mrs. Geo. Harvey captured first prize, Mrs. S. L. Maxwell, second, Mrs. J. B. Elliott third, Mrs. E. Hatton fourth and Mrs. Mason, Minneapolis, fifth. The guests of honor were presented with individual gifts. A dainty paper parasol was given each guest as a memento of the occasion and corresponded with the color of her costume. After partaking of a delicious luncheon the ladies departed voting Dr. Lewis an ideal hostess. MUCH ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN LADY VISITORS Mr. and Mrs. Richlieu Cheatham, Mrs. Peter Dent and her daughter, Mrs. Eugenia Dent Burbridge motored to the Twin Cities from Waterloo, Iowa. Mrs. Dent is the social editor of the Indianapolis Ledger and her daughter has been a teacher in the public schools for a number of years. During their stay in the Twin Cities they were highly entertained. Mrs. W. B. Tandy, 593 Iglehart avenue, was hostess at dinner on Tuesday; and on Friday the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority entertained for Mrs. Burbridge at the residence of Miss Kathryn Tandy, vice-president; Mrs. Burbridge holds the same office in Indianapolis. Mrs. S. Holmes, 643 St. Anthony avenue, gave a dinner party at her home complimentary to the visitors. Several other affairs were given by Minneapolis folks in their honor. Dempsey Champ of Dodgers Too Gibbons, Firpo, anything from anywhere, except Harry Wills. Dempsey is a good fighter, but in his own opinion, as shown by his actions, he evidently does not consider himself quite good enough to fight Harry Wills. If he did, he would fight him, "to get rid of him," for no other reason. Carpenter thought sincerely that he could lick Siki, and so made a match to get the bumptious Negro, as Carpentier considered him, "out of the way" and to shut that Negro's mouth. Carpentier was disappointed. Dempsey is not even willing to risk disappointment as to Harry Wills. He now on the trail to Firpo, in order to keep away from Harry, although Harry was a qualified contender for the title before ever Firpo was heard of. And just think of it. American race prejudice backs up and honors this unisportsmanlike business. As if it made any difference what color the biggest and most skillful slugger among all the sluggers happened to be. If Dempsey and Firpo should fight before Dempsey and Wills, it will leave one of them face to face with Wills again. If Dempsey should be the winner, what would he do then? Perhaps some other South American, or South Sea Islander, could be dug up by that time to give him a side-step and an alibi for dodging a session with the big black boxer. On with the game until Dempsey finds himself in a cul-de-sac, with Harry Wills at the open end of it. S. ED. HALL APPOINTED ON COMMUNITY DRIVE Mr. S. Ed. Hall was appointed last Friday as chairman of the Community Chest for the race people of St. Paul during the fall drive. Mr. Hall is on the mayor's advisory board and is well known in the Twin Cities.

Mary followed her, and stood la moment staring in at herself, too. It was rather a shame, she reflected, ito waste a perfectly new black and fiver evening frock on a poor, old married man, and slippers with gllt- ltering buckles and a bandeau of ail- |ver across her dusky hair, But, she thought, if the man hadn't lbeen ‘married she would have been lawkward and shy and uninteresting in pite of her twenty-eight years—in lspite of the fact that she was the head Jsecretary for the president of the [Corinth Stone Works. As she went dewn the hall slowly jand stopped a moment at the nursery ldoor where John, Jn, curled in his ittle white crib with his cherubte face oay with sleep, Mary sighed. It was jal very well to be secretary \to the president, but there were other things. Still thoughtfully she went down the stairs, admiring the mahogany ban- Hister rail and the charmingly decorated hall, the bowl of June roses on the console table. ‘Mrs, Warren had John, Jr., and her fgarden and her charming home; and john himself, who was not to be dis icounted.

The first meter was in vented about 1815, and 30 years later appeared the type of gas meter that has remained virtually unchanged ever since. Its accuracy, impervious- ess to temperature changes and ea- durance depend upon the leather lungs of the two drums that alter- nately inhale and exhale the gas, feed- ing it from the main into the house pipes and measuring {t on the little dials above. These leather lungs, or dis- ‘phragms, are made from the skins of New Zealand sheep. It is only in the land of the Maoris that the perfect sheepsking can be raised. ‘New Zealand sheepskins could not be imported during the World war, and as a result the makers of gas meters tried every available substitute and discovered that there was noth- ing “Just a8 good.” ‘The importation ‘was taken up again at the carites ‘possible moment, and has grown steadily larger to meet the demand for ‘the ever-increasing number of meter in use, Shekel an Old Jewich Coin. ‘When we say of a man that he is al- \ways on the lookout for shekels, we that he never lets lip by an op ity to make dollar.

Hill of the board of directors. Official reports disclose that the increase in the prices which the Great Northern must pay now for passenger and freight equipment and the cost of operation is from 100 to 150 per cent greater than a decade ago. In discussing this handicap under which the railroad is laboring, Chair. man Hill called attention to the pub- Ne need for adequate transportation, pointing out that all work involves the moving of persons or objects and dominant. “The railway traveler today enjoys the advantages of a high class hotel,” sald Chairman Hill, “Trains are ful- ly equipped with dining, parlor and sleeping car with superior appoint. ments such as will meet the demands of the traveling public. Naturally this is expensive, yet the cost to the traveler is far less than the changes of the hotel with corresponding facil- ities, “Every item in the provision of both passenger and freight service costs far more than it did a few years ago. Passenger and freight shipments speed over a mile of rail- road track in a minute or two. Un- doubtedly few persons know that this mile of track, exclusive of the grade and right-of-way, which cost $15,000 in 1913, now costs $25,000. Other ‘costs of railway service have increas- ‘ed as much more. “Taxes have inereased more than 100 per cent during the same ten years and are a big item of operating expense of every railroad. Yet at the same time railroad freight and Passenger rates paid by the public for this much more costly service have increased only about 40 per cent. “It {8 obvious that we must pay for everything we have, for food, shelter, clothing and transportation. Production and distribution of these and other essentials require transpor- tation, which made possible the de- velopment of our country. And when transportation {s impaired, the whole country suffers. As a matter of selt- interest alone, as well as a matter of Justice, “this is worthy of deep thought. a Real Service by St. Paul Red Caps The Red Caps at the Union Depot have made a wonderful record in that some of the most commendable acts done are credited to some of these men.

It was a very sad feeling, a most sad feeling. Sometimes the tears would come to George's frog eyes and he would blink them away so as not to let the other frogs see that he wanted to cry. One day, though, one of the frogs croaked at him: "Whatever in the world, or in the pond, is the matter with you, George? All you do is to mop all day. You won't join our games, you won't have any fun, and the very sight of you is enough to make others unhappy." "Ah, goog-a-room, goog-a-room," said George, "I am not appreciated." The other frog went off in disgust. "Georgie," he told the other frogs, "is getting to be so conceited. He thinks he is better than any other creature in the pond." The other frogs looked in Georgie's direction. "Too bad," they said, blinking and croaking, "but let us not bother about him. There are many fine bugs at the market this morning and we must hurry and get them before they are all snapped up." So Georgie was left alone. "I am really above the creatures in this pond," he gurgled to himself. "That's the whole truth of the matter." "What is that you say?" asked a voice, and looking around, Georgie Green Frog saw a beautiful fairy. "I Am Not Appreciated." She was dressed in pale green and silver and carried a silver wand. She also wore a green and silver crown. It was a most beautiful crown and the green jewels that were in it dazzled in the sunlight. "Who are you?" asked Georgie. "I am the Pond Fairy," said the fairy. "But I've never seen you before," said Georgie. And then a bright thought came to him. Of course he had never seen her before! She would not bother with the ordinary green frogs of the pond, but she had noticed him. At last he would be appreciated. At last some one had already appreciated him. "I see you agree with me," Georgie said, as he made room for the fairy on the pond lily leaf upon which he was sitting. "I've been thinking for some time that I was above the creatures of this pond. I'm really out of place here. The others—well, you know—they're all right enough in their way. But the truth of the whole matter is they're common, goog-a-room, ordinary, goog-a-room. "That's why you've come to call on me, I'm sure. You can see I'm out of the ordinary." "Yes, I can see that," said Pond Fairy. Georgie Green Frog gave a queer little throaty laugh of delight. "As a matter of fact," continued Pond Fairy, "I've come to ask you if you'd like to leave Lily Pond and move to some other place. "Although my name is Pond Fairy, because I visit ponds from time to time, my home is not here." George opened his eyes very wide and gurgled delightedly. "I knew it; I knew what would come to me," he said to himself. "I knew I should have adventures above all the other frogs in the pond. Ah, I was wise not to mix too much in their society. "Wise, indeed. Ah yes, Georgie Green Frog is very sensible." "Would you like to visit away from here?" asked Pond Fairy. "Oh, pardon me, pardon me," said Georgie Green Frog. "I've almost forgotten my manners. It's all because I've been living with such ordinary frogs. "I will come with much pleasure! Much pleasure, indeed." And the Pond Fairy smiled to herself. For she knew that at heart Georgie was not a bad sort though he was being quite impossibly conceived and snobbish at present. But she had half an idea that he would find that out for himself—and he did! And became a regular frog! Florrie Wanted Both. Uncle John took little Florrie to the doll department in one of the big shops and said: "Now, Florrie, which shall it be—a boy or girl!" "Twins," promptly replied Florrie—Brisbane Mall. THRIFTY HOUSEKEEPERS PLAN TO CAN OR DRY SURPLUS VEGETABLES 100 Drying Extra Garden Materials for Winter Use. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) As soon as the home garden begins to produce a surplus over the daily table needs, the thrifty housekeeper plans to can or dry the extra materials for winter use. ordinary stove the piece of may be removed. In case the drier is to be out the iron rods, the end nailed in place, two at eating with the braces on the The United States Department of Agriculture suggests that vegetables and fruits can be dried in an oven, in trays or racks over the kitchen stove, or in a specially constructed drier, of such a size that it can be placed on the top of an ordinary wood or coal range, or over a kerosene stove. These driers hold a series of small trays on which fruits or vegetables are placed after being prepared for drying. Portable outdoor evaporators are especially convenient when it is desired to dry as much as ten bushels of fruit or vegetables per day. They are usually constructed of wood except the parts in direct contact with the heater. The homemade dry kiln used in some sections of the country can be cheaply and easily made of brick and stone. A very satisfactory drier can be made of lath (preferably cypress, popular or other nonresinous wood), wire screens and cotton canvas or heavy unbleached muslin. It can be used over a wood stove, furnace, oil or gas stove if care is taken to see that it does not become overheated and catch fire, and can be made in size to suit the particular source of heat used. It can be made to take apart and pack flat. Material Needed. A five-tray drier with bottom 24 by 11½ inches can be made from the following material: Uprights, 4 pieces of lath, 1½ by % inch, 22 inches long. Cleats or shelves, 10 pieces of lath 1½ by % inch, 24 inches long. Side braces, 4 pieces of lath 1½ by % inch, 24 inches long. Side pieces for trays, 10 pieces lath 1½ by % inch, 21 inches long. End pieces for pieces of lath 1½ by % inch, 10 inches long. Galvanized wire screen or netting, 5 pieces 21½ by 11½ inches, (10 meshes to 1 inch of % inch mesh). Canvas or muslin, 7 feet long and 24 inches wide. Brads, 1½ and 1 inch lengths. Double-pointed tacks. Sheet iron (preferably galvanized), 1 piece 18 by 7 inches. In case the drier is made rigid it will require in addition: End braces, 4 pieces of lath 1½ by % inch, 12½ inches long. % inch galvanized wire, 2 pieces 12 inches long. In case the drier is made to fold it will require: Iron rods, 4 pieces $13\frac{1}{2}$ inches long, $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch diameter, with $ 2\frac{1}{2} $ inch thread cut from each end and each end supplied with 2 nuts. The uprights are marked off from the one end as follows: 5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 inches. The ends of the cleats or shelves are cut to fit the uprights and nailed on. The first one 8 inches from Homemade Stove Drier. the bottom of the uprights and then one additional for every 3 inches. The braces are then put on at the upper outside edge and 5 inches from the bottom. Through these, if the drier is to be folded, drill four holes 3-16-inch in diameter, if the iron rods are $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch. In the upper brace drill the holes 3 inches from each end. In the lower brace drill them 6 inches from each end. Through these holes put the iron rod so one of the nuts is on the inside and the other on the outside. Rods Hold Sides Rigid. These rods hold the sides rigidly together, but as they can be quietly removed the drier can be packed flat. On the two lower iron rods place a piece of sheet iron about 18 by 7 inches. This will act as a radiator, and at the same time serve as a protection against the direct heat of the flame when the drier is put over an bll or gas stove. When used over an SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN ordinary stove the piece of sheet iron may be removed. In case the drier is to be made without the iron rods, the end braces are nailed in place, two at each end, fitting with the braces on the sides. In that case holes are drilled, as when the drier is to be taken apart, 6 inches from each end in the two lower side braces. A piece of heavy wire is put through each pair of holes and on these the sheet iron is placed when used over a flame. Around the bottom of each of the four uprights place a piece of sheet tin to prevent scorching the wood when the drier is placed on top of an ordinary stove or over a furnace. An eight-penny nail driven halfway into the lower end of each of the uprights can take the place of the tin as support for the drier. The canvas is next put on so is it about 2 inches from the lower end of the uprights. Tack the one end of the canvas to the front side of one of the uprights and tack along the sides. It is important to tack it once or twice on each of the shelf cheats in order to keep the canvas close to the sides so as to prevent the loss of heat which will take place if a space is left between the canvas and the cleats. The extra width of canvas is allowed to overlap top. The canvas is fastened on both sides, and holes are cut for the iron rods to pass through if the drier is made to fold. The extra length of canvas is put around the front end and fastened with a pin or with small clasps. Extra Width of Canvas. The extra width of canvas extending over the top part of drier can be folded, stretched tightly in the corners, and fastened with pins, clasps or buttons so as to hold the canvas tight and prevent it from dropping down on the upper tray, and still leaving an opening in the center for the passage of the heated-air current. If preferred, and for the type of drier that is not to be taken down, a single piece of canvas can be nalled over the top and a square hole cut in the center about 17 by 8 inches. This opening may be covered with coarse mosquito netting to keep out insects. The trays are nailed together so that they are 10 inches wide, inside measure. All edges of the pieces of the wire screen are bent over one-fourth inch and hammered flat, so the edges will not be rough. The screen is then tacked to the bottom of the trays. The trays are placed on the shelves or cleats in such a way that they may be either pushed to the back of the drier or left at the front. WARM WEATHER MEAT SALADS Excellent for Either Lunch or Supper and Any Left Over Material May Be Utilized. It is often a problem to serve foods which will appeal to appetites made fickle by hot weather. Meat salads are excellent for either lunch or supper, suggests the United States Department of Agriculture. Any cold left-over meat (beef, pork, veal or lamb) may be used. Cut the meat into cubes and mix it with diced cucumber, celery, radishes or onion, or any preferred combination of these crisp vegetables, season well, and if desired, mix with a little oil and vinegar. Serve with lettuce or shredded cabbage and mayonnaise or boiled dressing. Household Questions Medicine stains may often be removed by soaking in alcohol. Swiss chard and onions is a good mixture; so is cabbage and potatoes. Stored linen will remain white for a long time if wrapped in blue tissue paper. Keep lettuce and celery in the ice box until served. It must be cold and crisp to be appetizing. Aluminum pots may be had in sets. They are easily kept clean and hold heat longer than the enamel. To clean all kinds of lacquer work, first rub with fresh lemon juice, then with clean cloth till quite dry and polished. Mary and William Courtesy Minneapolis Tribune Captain Moody Staten, colored, of Spokane, Wash., was recently selected by Secretary of State Hughes to go to Liberia, Africa, to become commander and chief of the army in the little Negro republic. Captain Staten served with the American overseas with distinction during the World War, earning promotion to captain at the age of 26. He now becomes commander-in-chief of the Liberian army at the age of 32, marking one of the most distinctive records ever attained by an American Negro.

Convention Holds Attention (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 17—Colored men of democratic persuasion are turning their eyes toward Chicago In last week's article you will notice that we mentioned that we men of the Rails represented all told an army of 150,000 men, 50,000 of whom are regularly employed by the railroads of the country. We are now pleased to state that there is a movement on foot to get that army under proper control and in working condition. We are getting together on that job in the great city of Chicago, where a call has gone forth for 1,000 men of the Rails who are ready for duty; in order that we may prepare for a day of better things. From Chicago the fire will sweep on to other cities. This will be known as Step No. 1. As we have said of all other movements, if we merely talk and do nothing then we too must be classed with the now famous non-productive Institutions, which we might add, are riding upon the backs of our group, posing and proposing but doing nothing, while the masses waitin vain for real issues and plans. We have had many conventions already this summer in many parts of the country, and still more are to come. These all cost money and big money too, but what fruit have they borne; what real plan or issue have they brought to the people upon which they might base their hope for better days in the future? We Men of the Rails must continue our fight until these non-productive institutions are made productive and are led by men and women of ideas. For we will continue to be the prey almost indefinitely of those who think and our young men and women will be surrounded with poor opportunities and will continue to knock at the door of larger employment only to be turned away, just so long as we refuse to build factories and stores. CARNIVAL IS PLANNED BY ALL RACE TALENT (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, Aug. 17—The first carnival staged by colored talent in this city is scheduled for ten days beginning August 11, by the Bald Aid and Pleasure Club, one o f the leading colored organizations in the south.

Convention Holds Attention Dem. Convention Holds Attention (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Aug. 17—Colored men of democratic persuasion are turning their eyes toward Chicago, where the National Convention of the National Colored Democratic League will meet August 28th at the Hotel Vincennes. Major Adam E. Patterson, Asst. Corporation Counsel, whose address is the City Hall, Chicago, and Atty. Ferdinand Q. Morton, Civil Service Commissioner, of the city of New York, have charge of arrangements. New York is expected to send a large delegation, and the attention of all colored democrats is called to the fact that the meeting is simultaneous with that of the Elks, which will give delegates the advantage of reduced railroad fare.

STATISTICS SHOW THE MIGRATION NUMBER It is true that there are some artificial conditions in the present situation. One of them is the restriction of immigration which cuts off the supply of labor for the industries. Reports to the Georgia Bankers' Association from 92 out of 154 counties of that state show that 41,883 Negroes have left those counties this year and that 15,760 white people have left the farms. Upon that basis the calculation is made that 77,500 Negroes have left the state and that 29,513 white people have left the farms. It is further shown that including the year 1920 and to the date of this inquiry, 228,938 Negroes have left of state of Georgia. Several other Southern states have had a similar exodus. This movement is in response to the call for labor in northern industries.

Sets on Jury for Time Since 1865 (By The Associated Negro Press) Tampa, Fla., Aug. 17—For the first time since "reconstruction day" when Negroes were in control of the local county government, a black man was summoned for jury service. The case was that of Elmo Lloyd, a white man, charged with murder, and Clifton Roberts was the juryman. When the colored man appeared in the jury box, responded to his name and took his seat with the white men also named in the regular and special venires, there was much craning of necks on the part of spectators. The news spread rapidly and was the subject of much discussion in the various offices. Little comment was made by court officials. Sheriff W. C. Spencer said that no mistake was made, for Roberts was decidedly dark and that another colored man Lewis Williams was also on call. Gilpin a Fizzle Says His Critic Chas S. Gilpin, idolized and remembered as the star of "Emperor Jones" the presentation of which took America from its skepticism and forced them to concede him as a master of his profession, fizzled out at the Grand Theatre in Chicago. It is regretable that an actor of Mr. Gilpins ability should make such a present poor vehicle to an audience of his own people when he gave his best to the white listeners. It was not expected that he reproduce "Emperor Jones" but the patrons were truly entitled to being entertained in a way consistent with their expectation. In commenting on Gilpin's appearance one critic said: "Gilpin comes unkempt and unprepared, notwithstanding the fact that he is being paid two thousand dollars for a week's appearance. Gilpin's act consists of a few smutty jokes, a suggestive tale, a poorly rendered song and a strong breath. It means that Gilpin does not respect his own people, that he has no conception of their desires and tastes. Mr. Gilpin is possessed of rare ability as an actor, but his appearance before his own people is grotesque and a travesty upon art." Gilpin, if he has any manhood left, should be ashamed of his failure. After being scheduled for one week he was asked to leave after three night's work. Strange but true, some people cannot stand prosperity. north, she gone east on a road. Mrs. Sandy Edwards and sister, Mrs. Love of Kansas City, Mo., are visiting Mrs. G. D. Smith.
