BULLETIN, APPEAL PLAN MERGER Big Celebration for Rondo Street Opening VOLUME II, NO. 38 BULI Minn. Historical Society Minn. Historical Bldg. Saint Paul Minneso Big Ce BIG CELEBRATION IS PLANNED FOR RONDO OPENING Merchants in District to Hold Festivities on Completion of Paving BUSINESS LEAGUE TO SEEK CAR EXTENSION Co-operation of Public Asked to Assist in Plan; Date to Be Given Later The St. Paul Negro Business League again comes to the front with a plan to celebrate the opening of Rondo street which will soon be paved, the work now being in process. The realization that the paving of Rondo street opens a new throfare for the extension of race commercial activities and the possibilities of securing an interurban line over the present system prompts the local business men to further the project. The plan is well underway to connect St. Paul and Minneapolis by the Rondo route and the project is expected to work out advantageously. Commercial District Rondo street is rapidly becoming the bulkwark of the race's commercial activities and the paving from Western avenue to Dale street greatly augments the established program. The plan now being considered is to have a grand celebration on the opening of the street for travel. A pavement dance is a portion of the arrangements, together with bands, and parade of representatives of the business houses in that district. Full particulars of the tentative objective have not been made as yet, but it is predicted, by the Business League, that a great time will be had on the occasion. Public Support Urged Public support is urged by the local body in order that a great display may be had by the merchants of the Rondo street district. With the necessary co-operation this can be made a great occasion. The paving project was largely the efforts of the local Business League after they saw the deplorable condition of the thorfores. A letter was sent to the board of commissioners stating the conditions and the paving project was soon began. Former Mill City Woman Returns Former Mill City Woman Returns Mrs. Mary H.

Mrs. Richardson and her sister Miss Eva Richey will be remembered by many as two of the leading models in the Style Show given by the St. Paul Negro Business League at Union Hall last November. Mrs. Richardson is very talented and will no doubt prove quite an asset to Shuffle Along. Her Twin City friends wish her every success.

Bulletin thanks from local N.A.A.C.P.for assistance given The fight waged by the Bulletin to assist the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in breaking down barrier of prejudice was complimented by the latter in the following letter. St. Paul Minn., Oct. 24, 1923. The Northwestern Bulletin, City. We want to thank you for the stand which you are taking in the Bannon segregation matter. We want to assure you that we stand willing and ready at all times to help in the defense of any person who may be discriminated against by them. While we cannot bring the suits ourselves, we have told those who have been discriminated against that if they will make the complaints, we will bear the expense. We would like to see you keep up the fight. Hoping that you may ever be ready to use your paper in the defense of our group, we remain. Yours Sincerely, St. Paul Branch N. A. A. C. P. Per: V. D. Turner, M. D. Vice President. GOBLINS ARE ALL SET FOR HALLOWE'EN NIGHT O-o-o-o! Spooks, goblins and black cats will have the time of their lives Hallowe'en. They are taking advantage of the social occasions to make their presence felt in every way possible. On Monday night the Knights of Pythias of the Mill City will give their annual ball at the Arcadia in that city. The Minneapolis Cef club will give their dance at the South Side Auditorium on the same night. The Charity Sewing Circle have selected Wednesday night for their Ball to be held at Union Hall. Pumpkins are ripe. The Corn in the shock, and the Goblins are loose for the week. Peter Pumpkin Eater, you and all the rest had better mind your parents or the Goblins will get you if you don't watch out. Postmaster Moos Names RaceLady The race is receiving its place in the Post Office because of superior ability. The most recent appointment of Postmaster Chas. H. Moos is that of Mrs. Myrtle Oliver, 490 St. Anthony avenue, who successfully passed the Civil Service examination. Mrs. Oliver is well known in the city and is a member of the St. Paul Chapter No. 29, O. E. S. The position of Matron as accepted by her is one of a responsible nature and Mrs. Oliver is thoroly capable of caring for the position in an adequate manner. A few weeks ago another one of our group received the appointment of Special Clerk. The placing of Mrs. Oliver in the office makes the record appointment of a race person since October 1. Minneapolis K.P. To Feature a Big Hallowe'en Ball Pride of Minnesota Lodge No. 5, Knights of Pythias again will prove their superiority as sponsors of social as well as fraternal activities Monday evening when they will give their Grand Hallowe'en ball at Arcadia Dancing Palace in Minneapolis. The Pythians have in the past few months taken in the largest group of young men of any race fraternal order in the Northwest; and the largest in the history of Pride of Minnesota, No. 5, for the time given to the drive. The occasion is to be given for their many friends and the new members of the lodge. It is generally conceded that the Mill City Pythians do things for the best interest of all. Mr. C. A. Hughes chairman of the committee on entertainment says, "The part that we play in the Northwest is one of advantage to every race person. Our plans will make our Monday night entertainment the best of the season." Higher Advancement Pythianism is synonomous to higher advancement of the race and the Minneapolis Lodge are constantly exemplifying that characteristic. Nabbed by a group of courageous men the spirit of the order has been long felt in the life of many citizens of the northwest especially the recent addition. However the younger and men think that along with strict fraternal activities there must be a diversion so social life will be in vogue for the Hallowe'en occasion which promises to be on par with their Easter Ball and numerous occasions. Among the men who are largely responsible for the Pythians success in the Mill City are Ralph Watson, F. G. Thomas, Wm. R. Morris, W. C. Jeffrey and others. If one misses the affair Monday evening at Arcadia Palace they will have many causes for regret. Better make your reservations, as space is going fast at the Business League Exposition. PRIEST MRS. LUESCINA ROSS Organizer of Royal Circle of Friends FRATERNAL BODY EXTENDS ITSELF INTO NORTHWEST The Royal Circle of Friends of the World which has been a strong organization in the South, East and middlewest, particularly Chicago, its headquarters, is rapidly pushing its way thru the great Northwest. The circle is claiming great attention from the Twin Cities. The Supreme National organizer Mrs. Luescina Ross has been overlooking the Northwest field and has met with great success in the membership drive in St. Paul. Thru the efforts of Mrs. L. Ross the meeting which was the first held in St. Paul at Union Hall Oct. 16 established a well formed circle known as the Minnesota Circle No. 1864 of St. Paul. The circle was honored with the presence of the Supreme President Dr. R. H. Williams of Chicago which account for the great enthusiasm of its new members. From the splendid membership of fifty or more Mr. E. H. Hatton was selected unanimously the President of the Circle The members feel that with the most excellent leadership of their President and other officers that the work will grow rapidly in St. Paul. WLAG Sends Race Program The Radio fans of the Northwest received two programs-last week on which contributions were made by race artists. On Wednesday evening Wlag broadcasted the program of the "Shuffle Along" Company from the Metropolitan Theatre in Minneapolis. The company proved so popular as a musical comedy with song of rare harmony that public sentiment was largely responsible for moving Wlag over to the Theatre for the evening. On Saturday evening Madame Sadye Cochran-Chadwick, Lyric soprano sang on the Nan-kin orchestra program. Madame Chadwick appeared at St. Stephens Auditorium Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Mothers Study Club of Bethesda Baptist Church. Her numbers over the radio were very splendid. Yet it could be expected as her voice is very rare and sure to please. Madam Chadwick was accompanied by Miss Marlene Jeffery. Mrs, Sarah R. Roberts of Winnipeg, Can., arrived in the city Monday morning to make her future home. At present she is stopping with Mrs. George Brewer, 630 6th avenue no. Mrs. S. Bartell of Kansas City, Mo., who has been visiting in the city the past four weeks returned to her home this week. Mrs. Bartell has a wonderful contralto voice which will be greatly missed by the members and friends of Zion Baptist church of which she was a member while in the city. GirlCook Burned By Gasoline Puff Mrs. D. F. Law, 812 6th avenue north Minneapolis, received painful burns on her face Monday morning when a gasoline stove in the Law Cafe exploded. Mrs. Law had turned on the gasoline but failed to light the burner, for an instant her attention being drawn to another part of the Cafe. The feed pipes became overly filled, as well as the burners, and when a match was struck flames shot up and around the victims face. First aid treatment was given on the arrival of the ambulance and she was removed to the General Hospital. The burns tho' painful were, fortunately, not severe. Mr. and Mrs. Law purchased the cafe, formerly "The Lucille," about four weeks ago and since then both have worked there. According to the statement of Mr. Law the stove was in perfect mechanical order but the over supply of gasoline resulted in the accident. CHAIRMAN THANKS ALL OF RACE IN CHEST DRIVE I wish to thank the churches, pastors, captains and teamworkers and the newspapers for the untiring assistance given in the Chest drive. The success of Division "G" in going over the top was attributed to the efforts of the race to make a creditable showing. At the St. Paul Athletic Club when the final record was shown, Division "G" had pledged $2,545.00. The quota allotted was $1,000. The race went over 250 per cent, a more than creditable record. Again, I wish to thank each individual and collectively for their support. S. Ed. Hall, Chairman of Division "G" St. Paul Community Chest. New Bake Shop Is Planned by Well Known Caterer New Bake Shop Is Planned by Well Known Caterer Another addition to the commercial side of the city is in the form of an all modern bakery to be operated by Mr. J. R. Wilson, well known caterer. Kent and Rondo streets will be the location of the new enterprise which will be ready to serve the public about November 15. Mr. Wilson is one of St. Paul's best caterers and an expert in the culinary work having been in some of the best clubs in the country. Among the places he has been in charge of are Country Club and Seattle Club in Seattle, Washington, Owatona Elks Club, Sheriff Earl Brown's Lodge of Hennepin county and the St. Paul Athletic Club. The new bake shop is destined to fill a great need in the city. In commenting on the new project Mr. Wilson said, "My purpose in opening a bakery in St. Paul is to supply the needs of the race. At all times will the best in pastries be available and the most sanitary conditions will be prevalent." The extension of commercial activities into a large field marks the progressiveness of our businessmen. A bakery has long been a much needed asset to the race vicinity of the city and should prove a splendid investment for Mr. Wilson and a boon to the community. Plans for the new enterprise were completed last week and the tentative plan for operation was announced shortly afterward. We wish for our most recent advent into the commercial field a successful career. Wayman Chapel A. M. E. Church will hold its First Quartely meeting service Sunday, Oct. 21, 1923, at 3 p. m., at Border M. E. Church corner Border avenue and Lyndale avenue north. Rev. H. C. Claybrook, pastor, Rev. T. B. Stovall, presiding Elder. Rev. Robert Cheers, pastor of Border Church, officers and members welcome you. PRICE: FIVE CENTS RGER MRS.ADINA GIBBS ENGINEERS WAY TO MERGE PAPERS Plans Being Considered Whereby Northwest's Papers May be a Unit OLDEST AND YOUNGEST JOURNALS IN PACT Publisher of Bulletin Offers Thanks for Support Received Since Advent Mr. Owen Howell, Publisher of the Northwestern Bulletin speaks of a contemplated merger of the Bulletin and Appeal growing out of negotiations by Mrs. Adina Gibbs between the two papers. She realized of the need of closer co-operation for mutual benefits and that a merger of the two interests would, without doubt prove advantageous for all parties concerned. Particulars have not, as yet, been concluded but indications point to a successful combination, which grew out of the interest taken in the two publications by Mrs. Adina Gibbs and the consistency of her efforts to bring about mutual undertanding. This is the last issue of this paper as the Northwestern Bulletin. The next issue will be the Bulletin-Appeal. Bulletin Publisher Says Mr. Owen Howell in commenting on the contemplated merger says: "On behalf of the Bulletin I wish, at this time, to sincerely thank our advertisers, subscribers, friends and well wishers for the support given the Bulletin since its inception into the field of Journalism. The policy will not be changed but I feel that by joining the forces with our contemporary that a greater work can be accomplished in the Northwest. We ask for the hearty co-operation of all in helping to make our new contemplated plan a reality." The Appeal is the Northwests oldest journal while the Bulletin is the most recent advent in the field here. Deputy Attorney-General English, of Pennsylvania, detailed by Governor Pinchot to investigate Mayor Caufiel's order issued against colored migrants, has filed his report with the Governor. The Mayor "took to tall timber," disclaiming that he had ordered Negroes to leave. He said he exercised a police practice ordering undesirable characters to leave the city in a certain time. That's all. Ragpicker Gets Check for $3230 Ragpicker Gets Check for $3230 Washington, Oct. 19.—Cynics would have difficulty in convincing Alfred Pettis, 75-year-old rappicker, who lives here, of the "ingratitude of the republic." A treasury warrant for $3,230 reached him in Wednesday's mail with a note from the pension bureau that it represented back pension at the rate of $50 a month. Pettis filed an application for a pension ten years ago, but failed to follow it up. The government mills continued to grind, however, the final grist confirming his claim that he enlisted in the Second colored infantry at Key West, Fla., in 1864, at the age of 16. Mr. J. D. Kellum of Philadelphia, Pa., and Mr. Williams Duggan of Lynchburg, Va., who are working at the Union Depot here doing the Egyptian Rock Roofing are the only two colored men traveling through the country today doing this kind of work are stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Jackson, 445 University avenue. Mr. Kellum is a graduate of Hampton University while Mr. Duggan graduated from Lincoln University and is expecting to enter Howard University in November to finish his medical course. --- Page 2 Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS "First in Service" POSITIVE PROOF consciousness of the nature of unfair segregation by loyal race person to co-operate with the National Association for the Advancement of the Human purpose to secure for the race fair and just. Just at the time when we are endeavoring to the privileges of citizenship come a solid labor organization to force one of the land in the building of a new warehouse. The body is behind this one movement. The strength and power can be attained only through organizations prompts them to fight if they believe to be right. Whether they succeed in to secure respect and considerate carries with it an additional weight ination back the proposition.urnishes the most concrete example for the operation. Hated as badly as the Negro one has grown to be the greatest finance cause every proposition that affected the affected each individual. When one of the nomination the entire power of his fellow man unfairness.Weare's Shylock lives even today; despised to the successful maintenance of commerce have suffered more than the Jewish race is published more than they.Wero, 'tis true, has suffered the unfortunate taught to hate one another but when he himself must develop the instinct that fist severe of his enemies. A such situation, A. A. C. P. can be remedied if unqualified loyal race citizen. Let every insult to be an insult to an entire race. Let every to a single race citizen be fought with violence were against himself. The moral effect, as a race, is just as formidable when by other people.Only one alternative; either the American secure life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.We made by the government to secure the for all its citizens but it takes concert all dark races, especially in the English sure these rights. We are face to face whether Minnesota's Civil Right Bill shall be written but ineffective legislation. It is a paramount issue is solidness of the race, concerted determination and co-operation that effects the freedom of the race. And a determination to spend our money appreciated. The church, press and influence must work together and secure for and lawful rights. Every Negro citizen and moral support to such organization the race. The seriousness of the nature of unfair segregation should prompt every loyal race person to co-operate with the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in their purpose to secure for the race fair and just treatment in all matters. Just at the time when we are endeavoring to secure for ourselves the privileges of citizenship come a solid action on the part of the labor organization to force one of the larger stores to use union men in the building of a new warehouse. The unit action of the entire body is behind this one movement. The realization that great strength and power can be attained only thru the fusion of individual organizations prompts them to fight in a body for the thing they believe to be right. Whether they succeed or not, their determination to secure respect and consideration for their fellow workers carries with it an additional weight when the entire organization back the proposition. The Jew furnishes the most concrete example for the advantage of race co-operation. Hated as badly as the Negro in many respects, yet he has grown to be the greatest financial power in America because every proposition that affected the Jewish race as a whole affected each individual. When one of the blood met with discrimination the entire power of his fellow men protested against the unfairness. Shakespeare's Shylock lives even today; despised yet accepted as necessary to the successful maintenance of commercial growth. No People have suffered more than the Jewish race and no people have accomplished more than they. The Negro, 'tis true, has suffered the unfortunate disadvantage of being taught to hate one another but when left to sink or swim for himself must develop the instinct that forces respect from the most severe of his enemies. A such situation as faces the local N. A. A. C. P. can be remedied if unquallified suport is given by every loyal race citizen. Let every insult to an individual race man be an insult to an entire race. Let every act of discrimination to a single race citizen be fought with vigor by every person as if it were against himself. The moral effect gained by doing things, as a race, is just as formidible when done by the Negro as any other people. There is only one alternative; either the American Negro is a citizen, to secure life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, or he is not. Laws are made by the government to secure these inalienable rights for all its citizens but it takes concerted action on the part of all dark races, especially in the English speaking nations, to secure these rights. We are face to face with the proposition of whether Minnesota's Civil Right Bill shall be enforced or become a written but ineffective legislation. It is "to be or not to be." The paramount issue is solidness of the ranks, compactness and action, concerted determination and co-operation in every phase of life that effects the freedom of the race. There must be closer unity and a determination to spend our money in a market where it is appreciated. The church, press and influential members of the race must work together and secure for the populace their just and lawful rights. Every Negro citizen must give his financial and moral support to such organization that foster the cause of the race. WHY INDIVIDUAL THEORY FAILS how many more theories will be advanced leaders as to the thing that does most for race is problematical. Each one has a according to his own version is the key to teach the rank and file a lesson that failed to learn in all their acquisition ofation. They oppose every man whose t with their own; each leader fighting t and branding every proposition as wrong Just how many more theories will be advanced by our self appointed leaders as to the thing that does most for the advancement of the race is problematical. Each one has an individual theory that, according to his own version is the only panacea for race ills. They try to teach the rank and file a lesson that they themselves have failed to learn in all their acquisition of knowledge—Race co-operation. They oppose every man whose thinking does not coincide with their own; each leader fighting for individual supremacy and branding every proposition as wrong except the one he supports. We seriously wonder if these fighting-one-another leaders ever pause to consider what the public thinks of their grand show off without their putting into practical usage the theory they so earnestly seek to encourage others. After all there is no one man whose vision is broad enough to tell at an instance what is necessary for the success of over ten million people without the aid of other master minds, yet this is the thing our leaders are attempting to accomplish. They consider their ideas as infallable loosing sight of the fact that in order for any race people or nation to be successful it is necessary that the thinker of that race people or nation meet together in unison, develop a concrete plan and work together for the good of all. All sides of every problem must be thoroly understood and it cannot be said, without successful contradiction, that one individual holds the key to a nations progress, neither can any one of our individuals, regardless of his self thought mental superiority, fathom the true causes and effects of the many things facing us as a race. Our leaders must reach the point where they can give and take, advise and be advised and feel that the race's supply of brain power is not confined to a few of the powers that be. There must be a concerted will to develop racial advancement in preference to filling individual coffers. We loathe to call their action selfishness and personal desire for supremacy at the expense of the race but we are at a loss to adequately define the situation without referring to them as such. None of them have been able to reach a decision, as a body, without friction within the rank and ultimate failure of the project intended. We heartly agree that there must be a diversity of opinion but when prompted by dollars and cents to be gained individually it cannot be condoned as an advantage either racially or ethically. There is one thing that must stand out as the potent factor in the development of race advancement and it is unison within the ranks first then a tangible basis is made on which a successful endeavor may begin. When the selfish desire for personal glory is supplanted by a real desire to further the race as a race, by those of our leaders who are, as yet, mute to the fact that thinking and acting as a unit is the first lesson in progress. Urban League in Great Convention At Kansas City Phases of Business and Economic Situation Discussed by Various Speakers (By the Associated Negro Press.) Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 26.—The National Urban League held its annual conference here this week in the Auditorium of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. Over fifty delegates and visitors from twenty states attended the sessions which bristled with interesting addresses. Among these were: The address of welcome, delivered by Mr. O. J. Hill, Chairman of the Association of Colored Charities and of the Kansas City Inter-racial Committee. Mr. Hollingsworth Wood, Chairman of the National Urban League Board, characterized the work in which the organizations of the Urban League are engaged as a noble but unpopular cause. "We are facing," he indicated, "the most serious winter yet to be experienced in the life of this work. It is necessary to swim against the current and in the satisfactions which follow this service, an unpopular cause, through its nobility, becomes a beautiful path of benevolence and brotherhood. Wages Discussed President John Hope, of Morehouse College, spoke on "What are the minimum social standards for a normal life?" His emphasis was upon the obvious inadequacies of Negro life, particularly in the South. He asked with a consciousness of repetition for security in work, social relations and lesure; education, and the one weapon of democracy; the ballot. "I have become a part of all that I have seen and heard done and had done to me," he said. Before a normal life can be obtained for Negroes it will be necessary to work on the American mind to upset those presumptions which are brought to every consideration of a question involving the Negro: the presumption of difference, and its subsequent temptations to a feeling of inequality and to injustice. America will never be able to function squarely even in inter-racial affairs," he said, "until she learns to deal fairly with the Negro population. Reference was made to the work of Atlanta in providing excellent new schools for Negroes, but which provided only 2% more space than formerly, leaving 42% of the Negro school population still without accommodation." "Wages," he said, "will be different just as long as they can be different." Race Insurance C. C. Spaulding of Durham, N. C., President of the North Carolina Mutual, spoke, "The contribution of Negro Life Insurance Companies to Negro Health" was his topic. He used the health statistics collected by his own and other colored companies to give a most interesting statement of the life and health ratios of Negro people. The Kansas City Community Service Urban League was host. Wednesday morning the visiting delegates visited the Sumner High School, Kansas City, Kansas. At the morning session, Mr. John R. Cary of Baltimore, Md., detailed the plan of the Home-makers Building and Loan Association for Negroes which he organized. The Association buys homes and resells them to Negroes on a ten year time basis, the first payment being 10 per cent of the cost and weekly payments equivalent to the rent. This provides an insurance against foreclosure for default. John T. Clark of the Urban League told of the work of Negroes in the steel district. "Steel work," he said, "attracts a high proportion of unskilled labor. Ninety per cent of the work is unskilled. The 16,000 Negroes at work in the 23 steel plants of the Pittsburgh District represent 21 per cent of the total working force and practically all of them are unskilled. "Prior to 1919 no Negroes were employed in 19 of these 23 mills," Mr. Clark said. Gradually Negro workers are advancing to higher positions. One plant employing 2,875 Negroes has 35 Negro sub-foremen directing 883 men, of. whom 273 are foreign whites. 11 of the 23 mills have Negro foremen. "It is the general opinion," said Mr. Clark, "that Negro workers can withstand high temperatures better than the average white workers can, and as a result they are much in demand in summer-months, but as winter approaches, they have been supplanted by the white workers." Mrs. R. B. Chapman, 606 St. Anthony avenue, will leave Saturday for Nashville, Tenn., to spend the winter and will be the guest of her grandmother, Mrs. Nellie Seay, and her aunt, Mrs. Alice West.

J. Carey, presiding officer of the 43rd Kentucky conference of the A. M. E. church in session here today. The term "nigger wenches" being publicly applied to the 75,000 registered women voters, by the Democratic candidate for governor, was the signal for attack, and tonight 400 black ministers of the gospel from cities and hamlets throughout the state are entrenched solidly and enthusiastically behind Bishop Carey in this, as he terms it, the zero hour. Honor of Colored Women Upheld. The bishop was eloquent in his appeal to the four hundred ministers of Kentucky to accept the challenge of this "inspired vehicle of the devil" to go forth and do battle with the man who publicly defamed as "black wenches" every one of the registered colored women of this state. "Such a man is hardly fit to be an American citizen, much less the governor of the great commonwealth of Kentucky," was the unanimously expressed opinion of the ministers in their enthusiastic endorsement of the bishop's stand. Bishop A. J. Carey got up from a sick bed in Chicago to answer this insult to our women before his own conference. Against the advice of his physicians he came to Louisville to tell the ministers and citizens of Kentucky that in Chicago where he was active against a Ku Klux Klan influence and voted for a Democratic mayor who was a Catholic, that the promises of this man have been kept with the colored people and next week the Democratic mayor will have his appointment of the first colored library trustee confirmed by a Democratic council with the exception of two colored aldermen.

Open Evenings. --- Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale CV MARY GRAHAM BONNER MEAN CHICKEN-POX "Now look here," said Peter Gnome to a mean, ugly-looking creature that went by the name of Chicken-pox. "Where?" asked Chicken-pox. "Is there some place where we could annoy where we haven't so far?" "Dean me, I don't mean that?" said Peter Gnome. "Have you no heart?" "Of course not," said Chicken-pox. "What good would a heart do in our family? We wouldn't want one aplace certainly and we wouldn't want one for the lot of us. "We'd only go bouncing it about, back and forth, like a football or something of that sort, and each would say to the other: "Here, take this old heart, I don't want it. I want to have some mean fun, some unkind pleasure, some horrid joy." "That is what each of us would say, And that would be what we should say. "Of course, we don't want a heart. Do you suppose we want to feel pity and such things?" "Don't you ever feel sorry for anyone?" asked Peter Gnome. "Not even a little scrap sorry?" "No," said Chicken-pox, "we don't. Sometimes you will hear of a mild case of chicken-pox which some one has. Well, maybe you think that means we're feeling a little sorry for people, but it doesn't. "No, no, if you think that, you're wrong. "It means that we're taking a rest from all our fun. It doesn't mean that we're having sympathy or anything like that. "Sometimes we get a little weary with all the fun and excitement we have." "I wish you got weary oftener," said Peter Gnome. "That's the splendidly mean part of us," said Chicken-pox, for we don't care what anyone wishes us to do. You may beg me to be good but I won't be, no, indeed. "Of course we're sometimes driven away and people are in good health "Now Look Here." and good health is an enemy of ours, but we're never good because we're asked to be good. "I'd give you the chicken-pox if I could, Peter Gnome. But of course the fairies and the elves and the brownies and the gnomes and the others of your friends and relations can never have any of our sicknesses. "And yet you are always wishing we'd leave people' alone. Imn't it enough that we leave you alone." "You can't help doing that. It isn't as though you wanted to do so," said Peter Gnome. "No, we'd be ashamed to do so out of kindness. It's only because we can't help ourselves. "But here you are, trying to make us give kindness about when that is not what we do. "You're different from some creatures, Peter Gnome. Some creatures who're rich or well are so satisfied with what they have themselves that they don't care about others." "But you're always wishing to scatter good fortune and health about. "We, of our family can't understand it. "You see, years ago we began our mean ways and they've grown on us and we're not in the least sorry, so there is no hope of changing us! "We love it when children rub us hard and scratch our mean selves, for then we can make them feel even worse. "Oh, we like to be so mean and so horrid and so hateful. It's such fun to us." "Dear me," said Peter Gnome, "it is sad to think that there must be such a thing in the world as you. Chicken-pox, but one thing more—" "No," said Chicken-pox, "you've kept me talking long enough. I must be off." "Don't go, Chicken-pox. I have something else to ask you." But Chicken-pox had gone. Peter Gnome, though, was glad that he had kept Chicken-pox this long, for he was kept away from doing his bad deeds in this way, and that was the best Peter Gnome could do with him—to delay him every time he got the chance so that Chicken-pox could do less than was planned. As for changing Chicken-pox and the family ways! Alas, Chicken-pox and the family were without hearts, and what in the world can even a dear little gnome do with a heartless family? French Farmers Marveled at the Sight of Doughboys Seemingly Enjoying Cow Fodder. The French lockkeeper is sometimes an old soldier, but offender is some black-clad woman who took up her husband's duties when he was called to the front, and who (for he never came back) will continue them until her little Francois is grown up—or, as she sometimes sadly puts it, "Until he comes back safe, as I hope, from the next war, m'sleu." For five more days we paddled along the 100-kilometer stretch of stream that unfurls itself ribbonlike among rolling, windmill-topped slopes between Redon and Nantes, writes Melville Chater in the National Geographic Magazine. We found that the countryside still fondly recalled the passage of American troops in 1918—how they had swum in the canal and had given the children little packets of chewing gum and had strangely delighted in consuming cow fodder. This last detail was related to us by a farmer, who added: "Most vigorous young men those, m'sieu. Wonderful teeth, wonderful stomachs. How they could even digest that stuff was the wonder of the countryside." And he pointed to one of those fine fields of Indian corn which in France are cultivated exclusively as cattle food. "Why, that's easy," we confided; "all Americans eat that." And we described the manner of preparing and dispatching an ear of corn. Suddenly a light broke on the listener's face: "Ah," he exclaimed, "I understand. Then one doesn't eat it, cob and all, like the cow; one just picks at it, as if it were an artichoke, 'n'est pas-ea" FREEZE OUT INSECT PESTS Method Is More Economical Than Gas, Says an Expert on the Subject. The usual procedure, when flour mills become infested with the Mediterranean moth, the larvae of which get into the flour, is to close the milt tightly and "gas" the insects. Last winter a mill at Williston, N. D., however, requested the local weather bureau office to notify the company whenever a temperature of 20 degrees or lower for at least several hours could be anticipated. As soon as weather sufficiently cold was forecast, the company put out all fires and opened doors and windows. That night the temperature reached 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and did not go above 17 degrees Fahrenheit the next day. According to the report of the company to the United States Department of Agriculture, through the weather bureau, all moths and most of the eggs were frozen, and the process will not have to be repeated for at least two years. Many dollars' worth of chemical insecticides which would have been necessary for "gassing" were saved. Once More Extended. It is certain that the limits of Lake Erie and Lake Michigan were once more extended than now. It is reasonably probable, say students of the subject, that some of the territory now drained by the Wabash and Illinois rivers was once covered by the waters of Lake Michigan. The cisco of Lake Tippecanoe, Lake Geneva, and the lakes of the Oconomowoc chain is evidently a modified descendant of the so-called lake herring. Its origin most likely dates from the time when these small deep lakes of Indiana and Wisconsin were connected with Lake Michigan. Several of the larger fishes, properly characteristic of the Great Lakes region, are occasionally taken in the Ohio river. Confirmed Bachelor Shad. Committed Detailer Shad The shad in the Farmington river in Connecticut are all bachelors, in the opinion of the fish and game commission of that state. Effort has been made for some time to obtain shad eggs for experimental purposes, and the constant report from one of the best fishing grounds was that only buck shad were obtainable. Then the superintendent of fisheries decided to do some fishing himself. He had a force of men spread nets and when they were drawn in, all the shad were bucks. Once more the net was spread and drawn in, this time with but little more success, one female, or roe shad, being caught. Papyrus Tree of Ancient Egypt. The tree from which the ancient Egyptians obtained their papyrus flourished in the lowlands along the Nile river. It grew to a height of about ten feet, and seems to have been known only in Egypt. The paper obtained from it was formed from a sort of inner bark, which consisted of thin sheets growing around the wood. Various colored liquids were used for ink; these were usually black, but sometimes red or green. A species of lamp-black, or livery-black, similar to that used in painting in modern times, was employed to make the black ink sometimes. Eskimos Have Strongest Teeth. Less than two Eskimos out of 100 have any signs of tooth decay. Chewing coarse frozen food keeps their glands active and their teeth safe. One of the domestic duties of the women is the chewing of thick walrus hide to make it pliable enough for the men to work it into shoe soles. Today the soft-cooked foods of the civilized nations have allowed the glands to slow down. As a consequence 98 people out of 100 have decayed teeth.

The colored residents in the main have refused to obey the orders of the self-constituted vigilance committee, although 200 or 300 left. Those who remained sought legal aid and found that the city and county authorities were disposed to aid them. The threats of violence made by the vigilantee were prompted by the killing of Thomas Rowland, who, it is said, had been playing craps with some of the Negro workmen and an attempt at assault on his grand-daughter. The police will continue in charge of the district until all trouble is over. RACE G. O. P's. IN MASS MEETING TO DISCUSS "CUT" (By the Associated Negro Press.)

Race Cops Are Efficient Men (By the Associated Negro Press) (By the Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 19.—Any doubt that might have existed as to the efficiency of colored police has long since been dissipated in this city by the excellent record of those who have been put on the force the last two years. The colored districts where they have been used have had the very best protection against crime it is possible for any force to give. Colored citizens respect uniformed men of their own and give them a co-operation which has been productive of the very best results. If there was ever any doubt as to the wisdom of employing uniformed Negro police—and there used to exist some in high police circles—it has given place to commendation of their work. More could be used with much profit to the city. The Northwest is becoming a factor not only in summer tourist traffic, but also in autumn and winter travel. but also in autumn and winter travel. "More and more people are choosing the northern route to the Pacific coast as their way to California," says A. B. Smith, passenger traffic manager of the Northern Pacific railway. "A marked increase in this travel has already occurred over our line." If folks go to California now the Northwest they see it at the time of its greatest scenic beauty, when autumn coloring and brisk, mild weather make travel a delight. "Californians are now urging in their advertising that all visitors to their state should be sure to enter it at one end and leave at the other. This has helped to influence travelers to choose the Pacific Northwest route as their way of approach; the wonderful fall climate of the Northwestern States and the startling beauty of autumn scenery in Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon has added to this movement of travel." A new booklet, inviting people to go to California by way of the Pacific, has just been issued by the Northern Pacific railway, illustrated with beautiful scenes from regions along the line of the N.P. It emphasizes the fact that it costs only a few dollars more to see the North Pacific coast country on the way to Califor- STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF Judicial District, Second James R.

Rolling it ruthlessly into ball, she threw it in the corner of the room. “And it took a whole month's sal- ary to buy It! If you aren't a flapper, don't try to flap,” she grimly advised herself. ‘Then she walked across the room, Tecovered the poor little bit of green chiffon and taffeta and started smoothing {t out. ‘It wasn't your fanlt. You tried to make me popular and make those silly fool men see me and dance with me, but—but It was too big @ Job for one Mttle green dress.” She talked to the garment as {f {t were some living thing that she had crushed and offended. “But {t's all off, little flapper frock. ‘We won't go to any more dances or parties or anything. We'll go to church and Sunday school and the rest of the time we'll stay right here at home and we won't try to compete with a whole bunch of bobbed-haired beauties who know this fiapping game from A to tzzard. Painfully practical, that's what I am—cut out to marry a middle-aged farmer with half a dozen savage kids left him by his first wife. Ugh!" ‘She glanced at the clock on the dresser. “After one and I have to be at the office by eight.” Tt was late the next afternoon that Frank Faulkner sauntered into her office. “H'lo, Elste,” he greeted with all the familinrity one employee has for another. “Saw you at the dance last aight.” Elsie flushed scarlet and looked down at her typewriter; then up again. “Yes, I had a beast of a time. I'm hot cut out for social things. I'm off tt all forever.” “That's tough luck for me 1 just came in to ask you to go to dinner with me tonight amd we could take In a show afterward. Wish you could, Elsie.” “Well, that’s different,” she told him, “Td love to go if you want me, but I'm Just not going to any more parties and dances.” ” “Good. I thought you'd go with me. Til wear my evening sult, if you say. I don't get many chances. And we'll go to « sure enough hote} and make believe we're big folk.” ‘They laughed together happily. “I think that would be great and I wear my little green dress.” At six o'clock Elsie went down in answer to the doorbell and found her escort waiting for her. “Isn't this fun!” she sald, her face lighted with happiness, “and ob, a taxi! You extravagant thing!" “I know, but this is our night.” He helped her in with all the fat tering deference of a real gallant and her heart jumped at the attention, “1 feel like @ princess,” she laughed. Arrived at the hotel, they ordered many strange things they found listed ‘on the menu, then spent blissful mo- ments before the waiter returned won- dering what they would be like, “Regular pig in & poke,’ smiled Elsie. It was a gay @inner. They langhed and chatted and joked and teased and felt like two children playing grownup. Afterward as he helped her on with her wrap he said in boyish tones: ‘How would you like to drive out to the park and sit around the lake in- stead of going to a show? It's so hot tonight and besides I want to tall.” “T'é love it,” Hisle declared. “I wauted to suggest it, but was afraid you might have your heart set on some particular show.” In the park by the lake it was cool ‘and quiet, The moon hanging over the water threw « soft light over all. “You know, Elle, I've got a lot I've wanted to tell you for ages. I've had disappointing sort of a time. I'm only a bookkeeper, but I'm learning the cost of things and saving s little money and some day I'm going to start ‘out on my own.

Common Seaman Said to Have Been Cheated Out of Hie Reward by Christopher Columbus, ‘The Spanish royal couple (Ferdt Band and Isabella) promised a prise ‘ef 10,000 maravedis to the first man of the Columbus fleet who saw land. As we know, the dice favored a common sailor, Rodrigo de Triana, who, at 2 a. m. on October 12, while standing on watch, shouted: “Tierra! Tierra” He should have recelved the prize, But when they got back to Spain Co lumbus insisted that he had seen a light on the coast the previous eve- ning. He protested this so vehemently to the royal couple that it was nec essary to pay him the money. Poor ‘Triana, bereft of his prize, abandoned his native Iand and emigrated to Africa. It was quite in harmony with the scheme of things that the gringo (Co- lumbus) should get the better of the Andalusian. We know nothing of what happened to Triana afterward, but have every reason to suppose that he did better than the discov- erers and conquistadors who followed him to the new world. Most of them died miserably, fighting themselves or fighting Indians, Don Christobal, therefore, probably @id Triana a great service. Doubtless, the honest mariner ended his life Peaceably in his harem. From the re Hgious point of view, the first result of the discovery was to reinforce not Christianity, but Mobammedanism, since Triana no longer cared to live among Christians, who robbed him both of his glory and his maravedis, Considered from the point of view of civilization, the first result of the iscovery was not to increase the num- ber of civilized men, but to add one civilized individual to the number of semi-civilized,—Madrid Bi Sol, PICKS HiS FLOWERS ON RUN Commuters Wife Plants Special Gar. den on the Path to the Train, “Why do you have this bet of corn flowers way off here so remotely sepa- rated from the rest of the gardeat” ‘asked a guest at a Long Island coun- try place upon coming on @ lovely cir dle of vivid blue blossoms, ‘The hostess laughed to think one of her little pet attentions to her com- muting husband had been so rudely discovered. “Do you see this path?” she asked. ‘The guest nodded. “Mardy takes this ad a short cut across the fields to the station every morning and, like most trippers, he is always hurrying to eatch his train.

Column! How Much Do You KNOW Raa a ae A aa aa By Robert Pp. Edwards (For A. N, P.) 55—Who was Antonio Maceo? / Jose Antonio Maceo was a Cuban Patriot. He was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1848, He joined the insur- gent army as a private in 1868, and his natural ability and personal mag- netism as a legder soon brought him to the front, making him second only to the great Gomez, Under his skill- ful leadership the Spanish were de- feated at Demajugua and La Galetta; his campaign in Baracoa in 1878 showed masterly generalship, as did his utter'rout of Santacledes at San Vnio. Maceo aloné of all the Cuban Generals refused to sign the peace of Zanjon. His achievements in the campaign of 1895 in the Pinar del Reo Province, and his battles at Paralijo and Jobita are among the most brilliant feats in the history of Cuba's struggle for independence. While crossing the trocha between Majana and Mariel, in December 1896, attended only by his staff, he was surrounded by a Spanish force and killed. _ 56—Did a Negro operator ever send out a Radio programme for a Negro Club? ?

In the Union Station of Kansas City, Missourl, hangs the oil paint- ing “The Birth of Christ.” Recently a group of noted art critics viewed this painting and several of them insisted that the canvas was “old Italian” or the work of an artist who had recetved his training from the old Latin Masters; bub they were thoro- ughly astounded when Andrew Jack- son, a Negto Janitor, and former coal-miner, was presented to them as the artist. ‘The critics declared that the figures, depicting the Christ child lying in the manger watehed over by the kneeling Virgin \Mary, were perfect, as was the accuracy in shading and proportion of the foliage and the other background.

E. Z. Chureh, at the afternoon session of the Citizenshtp Conference.

After telling of the ill effect of liq- uor on the eriminally-inclined Negro as on the same type of white, he sald: “Negro neighborhoods are too of- ten made a rendezvous for rum run- ners and the harbor of whiskey out- laws. Inadequate and often totally absent police supervision of Negro districts in town and city leaves them to the wicked schemes of the vilest rum profiteers. The method in most places where such a condition exists is to let the poor Negro be pinched, as he 1s supposed to have less to lose, from a social and civie viewpoint; and a little bonus and a cash bond are all he receives. The Negro is interested in every law that would ald in cleaning out the disreputable who use him as a cat's paw for their own unlawful designs.” Patronize Bulletin Advertisers!

Music By Stevens Harmony Kings ‘Shuffle Along’ a Big Success al the'Met’ Theater proved to be without any exception the best of its kind ever produced in this city. Ever since the announce- ment that St. Paul was included in its itinerary the show has been await- ed with the greatest expectancy. On Sunday night “Shuffle Along” opened at the Metropolitan Theatre and has played capacity houses all week. From the opening chorus to the finale the twenty musical numbers which were written by the popular stars Sissle and Blake, who likewise appear in the production, are real gems, each in a class of its own. Some of the Favorites After witnessing the “Shuffle Along,” the most talked of produc- tion since Williams and Walker, I shuffled around to the stage for a little interview with the various stars who have made this play famous. Everyone was running hither and thither preparing for the opening and the call boy had just announced “Overture” when we met Noble Sis- sie who with his partner Eubie Blake composes all the song hits. ‘When asked about his greatest diver- sion he stated that he spends most of his time thinking up new ideas for the success of the show and ap- pearing before the public and in that he finds his greatest pleasure. Miss Lottie Gee and Miss Edith Spencer were busy putting on their makeup and singing @ strain from ope of the show hits when I was cordially invited to be seated in their dressing room. These two stars re- mind one of care free school girls as they are full of fun. When not play- ing on the stage they spend lots of time in the movies as they are just wild about them. Miss Gee who wears her hair bob- bed in a style combination of Castle clip and King Tut states her great- est hobby is clipping her hair which she proceeded to do with her mani- eure scissors as there was one little Jock that the barber had missed. She is also a motor enthusiast and loves to go horseback-riding. And don’t forget that I love music and singing. Miss Spencer was busy reading a telegram which had just come from one of her admirers—she just has oodles of them. One day last week she recelved fourteen. This is one of her hobbies; another is a secret which she won't tell just yet. She is a lover of outdoor sports, hiking, swimming, and last season she was the pitcher in the “Shuffle Along” baseball team. She adores pretty hat; proudly exhibiting an oriental creation which she just purchased from Mme Betty. ‘Miss Blanche Calloway, secretary to the Mayor, started in the chorus over a year and half ago and worked on up to her present part. She says she is a regular tom-boy when it comes to outdoor life. She loves to Bo to the movies and is crazy about music. Others Haye Their Say Mr. Blake appeared for a briet re- spite during which he said his only hobby is in writing-tuneful melodies for the public as he must be suecess- ful In his efforts to please the masses. ‘When at home he enjoys his car in which he takes long drives as it furnishes quite a bit of relaxation from his intensive study. Arriving at the dressing room of Miss Smallwood one of our two-noted toe dancers we found her pursuing her favorite diversion reading a pop- ular book of fiction. For two seasons ‘Miss Smallwood played in the revue at Atlantic City. Just then Miss Ines Clough whe is the wife of Sam Peck in the play came in to wait for her next eve, One is charmed by her voice which re- minds one of Nance O’neil. Her stage experience dates back to the days of William and Walker. As a mem. ber o fthe original Lafayette Players she is well known for her work in this stock company. Miss Clough re- sided in Burope for ten years but she says she loves house-keeping in her apartment in New York City ‘where she spends her vacations at the same time pursuing her music and browsing with her favorite authors Harmony Kings Say Mr, Wm. Hahn the celebrates ‘basso of the Harmony Kinga says h has arrived at the dangerous ag where the ladies are simply irresist ible. He has many friends in thi city where tie has appeared with th enjoys a good game of football and baseball atid bas long been a favor- ite among the ladies. Mr. 1. H. Browning who also plays the part of Harry says his hobby Is tennis and is the best player among the company. His greatest wish is to see his wife whom he will meet short- ly in Cincinnati, Ohio. ‘The Rest of Them “Onions”, Wm. Robinson famous grocer clerk says he is so busy keep- up with the;baby vamps he hasn't much time for his favorite games. His honor, “the Mayor of Jim Town,” Mr. Lew Peyton, has been on the stage over twenty years and was formerly a partner of Copeland in a Dining car act, which played Keith and Loew circuits. His favorite pas- time is a certain kind of golf which ean be played indoors and out. Mr. George Jones, Jr., captivates al Ithe ladies with his pleasing smile and his rich baritone voice. He too is a baseball fan, I can hear him rooting for Babe Ruth now. Seated in the wings ready to go on was Mr. Wm. Grundy who has play- ed behind the footlights fo rtwenty seven years an dhas spent much time in Europe. His favorite sport is baseball and you can bet he put his money on the Yanks fo rthe world series. Juanita Baker, comedienne chorus girl and the rest o fthe beauties were too busy changing costumes but one could see by the sparkling of their eyes that they loved their work as they ran too and fro humming, “If you haven’t been vamped you've never been vamped by a brownskin you haven't been vamped at all,” and you simply have toagree with them especially the Shuffle Along Beauties. / —Mme. Shuff-e-ree WOMAN MURDERED IN HOME IS BURIED IN CROOKSTON | ‘The remains of Mrs, Matilda Den- ‘ham, wife of William'Denham, 154 Robertson street and beautiful daughter, Mrs. Bessie Rockes, were sent to Crookston, Minn., following funeral services from the Lyles Un- dertaking Chapel Monday afternoon. On October 17, Mrs. Rockes and mother Mrs. Denham were brutally murdered by one Sherman Smith, colored, before either had gotten out of bed. ‘The murderer escaped and bas not as yet been apprehended by author. ities. Mystery shrouds the fatal shooting as the victims were known to be of peaceful dispositions and never gave cause for reprisal of any sort. It will be only when the cul- prit is caught that the reasons sur- rounding the shooting can be ascer tained. Respected Citizens: Both Mrs. Denham and daughter Mrs. Roches were former residents of Nashville, Tenn., where they bore a splendid reputation and commanded the respect of the populace. From Nashville the family moved to Crook: ston, Minn., thence to St. Paul where they lived at the time of their ghastly death. ‘They have a daughter and sister, Mrs. Frank Penick, of Fergus Falls, Minn. A brother Hamilton Denham and other relatives. Several friends of ‘the deceased ac- companied the remains to their las resting place while hundreds viewed them at Lyles Chapel previous to the funeral. Leaves Relatives Here Mrs, Denham is survived by a hus band, sons and daughters and grand son. Mrs. Rockes leaves a husband son Walter, father, brothers aud sis ter. A number of friends of dott mother and daughter will mourn the untimely death of both. The Rev. H. L. P. Jones, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Chureh, wa: the officiating minister at the funera Monday afternoon. Rev. Jones wh is formerly of Nashville knew bot) women in the latter city. Mant beautiful floral offerings surroundet each casket at the funeral, Mrs. George Mundell, 417 Rondo street, enroute to Texas visited Mrs. Henry Dunn of Kansas City, Mo., who was a St, Paul visitor last sum- mer. Lawrence Hutchinson, aged 2 years who died at the Ancker hospital of scarlet fever was buried Monday at 11 o'clock a. m. from Lyles chapel. Interment at Forest Cemetery.

The local branch o fthe National Association for the Advancement o! Colored People is going on record ss doing things for the advancement and respeet o fthe race. The follow- ing letter is in condemnation of bur lesquing the race in advertisement. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 24, 1923 Log Cabin Products Co., Chicago & Custer streets, City. Gentlemen: Our attention has been called to a label which pou have on one of your syrup cans entitled, “Little Coon ‘Brand Molasses.” You have also on the label the picture of a colored per- son just below. The colored people ‘who have seen it have taken offense at it and are doing all in their power to boycott all of the store which handle it. I presume thatyou know that the word “Coon” is a vulgar name given to the Negro race, used in the days of slavery by thelr masters, but in this enlightened age we would hard- ly expect intelligent business firms to make use o fit. ‘We have in St. Paul 10,060 of the Negro group, and if these 10,000 decide to boycott your product, it might make some difference with the people who are handling it. I can- not believe that any business firm in St, Paul would willingly resort to ‘anything which would tend to in- sult any group of people, since our ‘population here i» made up of s0 many different groups. I should like very much to hear your reasons for using such a label if you would oblige me that much. | ‘Trusting we may have a reply from you, I remain, Yours truly, St. Paul Branch o tthe N. A. A.
