REFUSES TO CONDEMN USE OF BLACK SOLDIERS IN GERMANY WE'RE LIFTING BETTER LIFT ALSO. $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy REFUSES FREDERICK DOUGLAS HOME IS SOON TO BE DEDICATED Historic Residence Re women Will Be Formally lowing Biennial Meeting eration at Richmon Successful Outcome of Organized Effort to Preserve Fitting Memorial of Race (By The Associated Negro Press.) BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 29.—The Frederick Douglass Home, in Anacostia, destined to be the great shrine of Colored Americans, as Mt. Vernon, the home of Geogre Washington, is to the country at large, will soon be dedicated, probably with the President of the United States, as speaker on the program, according to Mrs. Mary L. Talbert, who is in direct charge of the interests of the home. In a special statement, directed particularly to the women of the Race throughout the country, who have as sumed the responsibility of complete restoration of the famous estate, Mrs. Talbert says: "The dedication of our Douglass Home will occur the Saturday following the bi-enial meeting at Richmond at which time we hope to have the President of the United States and other prominent men and women present. "Contracts have been let for the MRS. MARY B. TALBERT Ex-President National Federation of Colored Women, Moving Spirit In Securing Douglass Home MRS. MARY B. TALBERT Ex-President National Federation of Colored Women, Moving Spirit In Securing Douglass Home complete restoration of the home and I have assumed the indebtedness which the contract calls for, believing that the club women will rally in this our last great effort for the complete restoration. "Will every state president have her corresponding secretary or recording state secretary send to me a complete up-to-date roster of clubs ending August 31, 1921, containing names and addresses of both presidents and I secretaries of clubs. While this will entail some work upon the secretaries, the greater task falls upon me. "I want every club affliated with our National to have part in the restoration of the Douglass Home. I am not doing this thing half way, but expect to have every part of the house and grounds restored including the drive way so that our National headquarters may be worthy of us as a great National body. "When you consider that this is the first great effort of any organized body of Negroes to perpetuate any land mark belonging to a Colored parson, save the Harriet Tubman Home we should deeply appreciate what it means. Later on I will ask you to send relics in the form of battle flags slave bills of sale, or anything else that is contributive toward the history of the Negroes in America. We shall have there a Hall of Fame on the walls of which will hang the portraits of famous men and women. "These pictures will be placed in the Hall of Fame by vote of the National Bi-enial. In a word let this be our great National Museum where white and black may come to study the history of the Negro Race in America."

Five souls were immersed in the cold, chilly water of the lake, but their souls were afire for God, and they did not mind the cold water. Brother Clyde Bell rendered the pastor valuable service during the baptizing.

PROFESSOR KERLIN PLEASED WITH PRESS Deposed From Faculty For His Activities In Adjusting Inter-Racial (By The Associated Negro Press.) LEXINGTON, Va., Sept. 21.—Col Robert T. Kerlin, former professor of English, Virginia Military Institute, who was summarily dismissed by the Board of Governors, for exercising his constitutional right of freedom of speech, has issued an exclusive statement for the Associated Negro Press. In his statement Col. Kerlin praises the newspapers for their generous response of service and good will. He declares that the editorial expressions from our newspapers "go to my heart to cheer and strengthen it." Col. Kerlin declares that he was never happier, and "that instead of being defeated I have only begun to fight," and he will continue to labor for justice in the South. The statement in part follows: The statement in part follows: "Never was there a more instantaneous and generous response to any act of service than your papers have given to mine, simple as it was. That response has been not only instantaneous and generous, but enthusiastic and eloquent in expressions of gratitude and praise. It makes me wonder what your press would do were something really great. I have before me perhaps twenty editorials from your press that would do credit to any press on this globe. They go to my heart to cheer and strengthen it, and they touch it to softness too. What man cannot put force into his blows in a righteous and humane cause when he is so cheered on, when so many grateful eyes are turned upon him, when so many hopes are fixed upon him?" CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. John Turner celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage at the residence of their daughter, Mrs. Francis L. Asbury, 922 N.

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION OF AMERICA Holds 41st Annual Session at Famous Oivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill. Dr. L. K. Williams, Pastor By H. L. Anderson It was our very great pleasure to attend the 41st annual session of the National Baptist Convention held in Chicago, September 7-14, 1921. I was a delegate from the Zion Baptist Church of Omaha, with about forty representatives from the Baptist constituency of Nebraska, led by Dr. W. F. Botts, our moderator. There were about 10,000 delegates present, coming from all parts of the United States. We were very cordially welcomed by the Governor, Mayer, and civic and religious authorities, who made our stay a very pleasant one. We were glad to note the progress that is being made by our group in Chicago, form a political, financial, commercial and religious view point, our people being represented in every department of the government, having two aldermen, three corporation council assistants, two assistant city attorneys, three assistant state attorneys, one central county committeeman, and three state representatives. With a population of 200,000 we found 1,503 business enterprises, two banks, one state and one national, and one hundred and twenty-eight church buildings. Among them were some of the most elaborate owned by our people in America. There were also two well equipped hospitals, a Y. M. C. A. and a Y. W. C. A., all of which are loyally patronized. Among our distinguished officers and visitors who were present at the convention were: Dr. E. C. Morris, president, who was reelected for his twenty-seventh term; President King of Liberia; Dr. L. G. Jordan of Philadelphia, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board; Hon. R. S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender; Mrs. Caseley Hayford and Miss Kathleen Casmon of Sierra Leone, West Africa; Rev Jas, Garner of South America; Rev T. Simpson and wife of Central America; Mrs. Willie S. Layton, president of the women's convention; Miss N. H. Burroughs, secretary of the National Training School, Lincoln Heights, D. C., Dr. Sutten E. Griggs and many others, who addressed the convention on various topics and problems of the day which are facing our people. One of the marked features of the week was a silent parade, consisting of several thousand women, dressed in white, who paraded from Olivet Baptist church up Grand Blvd. to the 8th Reg. Armory. They then went to the Square, where they all joined in singing "All Hall," etc. Another was the sight sight tour of the city. There were about one hundred automobiles, owned by our people filled with delegates and led by the presidents, who viewed this great metropolis. As a token of appreciation, the women presented their president, Mrs. W. S. Layten, with a handsome seven-passenger Buick touring car. The reports of the various boards and committees showed great strides of progress during the past year, and were inspiring to every one interested in denominational or racial uplift. After a very successful session, the convention adjourned to meet at Los Angeles, Calif., in 1922.

GERMANY PAN AFRICAN CONGRESS WILL UPHOLD FRANCE Turns Down English Resolution Criticizing Use of Her Black Colonial Troops in German Territory LYNCHING TOPIC CONSIDERED English Anti-Slavery Society Pledges Itself to Make Protest Against Mob Violence in the U. S. By France NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 21.—Pan African Congress approves the French use of the black troops in Germany. At least it refused to consider a resolution of the English Anti-Slavery Society which condemned France for using African troops in Germany. Word has been received at the headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Walter F. White and other members of the conference met with the English Anti-Slavery Society, a white organization in London which has pledged itself to protest against lynchings in the United States. Sir Sydney Oliver, former Governor General of Jamaica and many other white Englishmen were present. Dr. DuBois also called the attention of the high officials of the English Labor Party to the case of the Negro workman, urging the necessity of united labor and declaring that as long as organized labor attempted to solve only the problem of the white workman, failure was inevitable. Sydney West, speaking for the English Labor Party, pledged himself to lend any assistance possible toward the removal of the color line in labor whether in England or any other coun- AMERICAN LEGION WILI FORM LADIES' AUXILIARY The Theodore Roosevelt Post of the American Legion will take steps Friday evening to institute a ladies' auxiliary to be connected with the Legion.

MEMBER OP THIRD MANUFACTURE MILLIO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE A REASONABLE REQUEST WE have a reasonable request we would respectfully make to American dailies in general and to those of Omaha in particular. It is this: that they abandon a custom which is doi-g untold damage to the self-respecting, industrious, law-abiding and progressive colored citizens, by branding them and stigmatizing them with the crimes or alleged crimes charged against individuals of their race. The custom of headlining and making prominent the race of the offender, if he be a Negro rather than the crime, does this very thing; and unless the daily press wilfully and wantonly desires to damage us, which The Monitor does not for one moment believe, we see no reason why this rule, which is used almost exclusively in the case of colored people, should not be abandoned. This should be done primarily upon the ground of justice and fair play. It should be done in the interests of amity and good-will which the press should be foremost in promoting. Some dailies, like the Cleveland Plaindealer, never mention the nationality or race of the accused. This, in our judgment, is the better plan; but if this is too much to hope at once, and it is deemed absolutely essential to call attention to race why could not this be casually mentioned in the body of the article, rather than headlined and made prominent as the present custom is? A moment's sober reflection will make it perfectly plain to any one that there is a psychological impression made by frequently seeing reference made to a race, nationality or religion. If, for example, one frequently saw it mentioned that a Catholic, or a Jew or a German, or a Swede or a red-headed man, were charged with this or that crime in newspaper articles bearing headlines of this character, "Catholic Bandit Holds Up Train"; "Catholic Snatches Woman's Purse"; "Catholic Shoots Policeman"; "Catholic Assaults Protestant Woman"; "Catholic Lynched"; etc, what would be the conclusion of the average reader? Why, a most natural one, that the whole group is a bad lot, and therefore fit subjects of suspicion, distrust, ostracism and discrimination. This would be the natural conclusion. Of course such generalization would be wrong and a wicked lie, but this would be the result. The effect would be damaging, painful and embarrassing to this whole group of people. And so it is in the case of the Negro. He is today the victim of discrimination and humiliation, due largely, if not exclusively, to the popular, but manifestly unfair custom of the daily press to lay emphasis upon the race of the accused, if he be a Negro, rather than upon the crime. A whole group is stigmatized. Is this fair? We believe, therefore, that our request is reasonable that this damaging custom be abandoned. We believe that Harvey Newbranche, of the World-Herald, Victor Smith of the Omaha Bee and Joseph Polcar of the Omaha Daily News, who are fair-minded men, will readily recognize the force of our reasonable and respectful request and speedily make this reform in the policy of our local dailies. The example once set by the Omaha dailies will have a salutary effect upon other dailies. DISARMAMENT THE proposal that Christian people pray that the approaching conference for disarmament may issue in such results as will insure world peace will meet with hearty approval from all our people. "SIN IS INDIVIDUAL" THIS was the statement made by the World-Herald in a recent forceful editorial commenting on Billy Sunday's position on the Arbuckle case. Sunday laid the responsibility on booze. He was wrong, dead wrong, as he is on other issues. Individual responsibility for sin; personal accountability to a merciful, but just God. Who has made man a free, moral agent needs to be emphasized in these days. The trying to shift responsibility for our actions upon other shoulders or upon this or that thing will get us nowhere, either here or before the Eternal] Tribunal. Speaking of the Arbuckle case, what a warning it should be to all people, who go in for carousing and having what they call a good time. These "good time parties" may not issue tragedies, which come to light and shock the world, but nevertheless the tragedy is there. And every transgression brings its penalty. We wonder how many will take warning. Might New is a Good Time to Pay Your Subscription HOW DO YOU SAY IT? By C. N. LURIE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them "TRANSPIRE" AND "OCCUR." TO OCCUR means to take place, to happen, to come to pass; to to happen, to come to pass; to transpire means to become known, to escape from secrecy, to be made public. It is quite common, especially in ordinary speech and in writings in newspapers and magazines, to hear and see the verb "transpire" used instead of "happen" or "occur." Such usage is, however, quite incorrect, and is condemned by critics in England and America. "It transpired yesterday, at the meeting of the common council, that permission was withheld," etc., wrote a reporter, but he should have written, "It happened yesterday," etc.—or, better still, he should have omitted the phrase and begun his sentence with "at" and omitted "that." Following is a case of the proper use of the verb "transpire": "At the meeting of the common council yesterday it transpired that last week's action on the street-rallway franchise was not final"—that is, it became known.

A FRENCH critic, discussing the recent famous battle for the boxing championship of the world, expressed surprise that so many Americans should have favored the challenger from abroad. Perhaps if he had stopped to think for a moment he would have realized that, after all, this is in the true sporting spirit. That spirit is at times hard to cultivate. It is natural for a city to want its home team to win in baseball, and for a college to wish to see its young giants sweep all before them on the diamond, the links and the gridiron. "To have and to hold" is the motto of national or international sport from reaching to polo. ... It is reasonable for a nation not to wish to lose any championship once it has obtained it. Various explanations have been given of the popularity of Carpentier, the best small man who stood up to the best big man in their business in the world today. A ray of light is thrown on the matter by a word that was used by several experts in describing the affair. They said that the Frenchman fought like a gentleman and lost like one. The Finest Language. The finest language is chiefly made up of unimposing words—George Bliss. A Long Wait. Lands of the Caribbean Scene in Settled Portion of Guatemala. (Prepared by the National Geographic So- city, Washington, D. C. The creation of a "United States of Central America," and troubles between Panama and Costa Rica which almost led to war, have drawn attention to the countries south of the Caribbean sea recently more strongly than at any time since the completion of the Panama canal. Nowhere else in the world has Nature been more bountiful in her blessings of natural resources than in the Caribbean region. Everything that her treasure-house holds has been bestowed with lavish, and also with impartial, hand. Someone has observed that if you tickle the ground with a hoe it smiles back with a yam and it smiles back with yams of wealth. These countries are nearly all favored alike in natural wealth, but there is a vast difference in the development of that wealth—a difference that may be attributed almost wholly to the character of the governments in the respective countries. In some of these lands the milk and honey of plenty flows in a bountiful stream. Others are in wretched poverty, where the masses never have enough to keep the gaunt wolf of hunger from gnawing at their vitals day and night and year in and year out. In traveling through these countries, one is impressed with the fact that prosperity abides with good rule and poverty dwells with misrule. Differences in Development. Starting out with the easily demonstrated fact that there is very little difference between these countries in their natural resources, it is interesting to look around and notice what a vast difference there is in the use that is being made of this natural wealth. One need not go out of the confines of Central America to see this. It would require six Salvadorans to make one Honduras, and yet Salvador has twice the population of Honduras and a larger foreign commerce. Costa Rica is less than half as big as Nicaragua, and yet its foreign commerce is greater than that country's. And yet, when Salvador and Costa Rica are compared with Porto Rico, they in turn seem to be slow in their development. Porto Rico is so small that seven islands like it would be required to cover an area equal to that of Costa Rica, yet it has a foreign trade more than fifteen times as great as that of the Banna Empire. Porto Rico is less than half as large as Salvador, yet it has a foreign trade over thirteen times as great. Little Porto Rice is so small that it could be buried in a single Central American lake; it would take 57 islands of its size to equal Central America in area and yet Porto Rico enjoys about three times as much foreign trade as all Central America together from Tehuantepec to Colombia. The reason? Because compared to these Central American republics Porto Rice has an ideal government. The trade of the island has increased sevenfold since Uncle Sam took possession there. The number of children enrolled in the schools has increased sixfold. The wages of the laboring class has multiplied three-fold even before the war. Honduras Is a Laggard. Honduras in some ways lags behind its neighbors. And yet it is rich in natural resources almost beyond imagination. With vast deposits of minerals of all kinds, with untold thousands of acres of the finest tropical fruit and vegetable lands in the world and with vast areas of magnificent grazing and coffee lands, Honduras is at our very doors. It is 700 miles nearer to Chicago than that city is to San Francisco; it is closer to Washington than Denver is; it is farther from New Orleans to Chicago than it is from Puerto Barrios and Livingston to New Orleans. With a stable government, Honduras must become a kingdom of plenty instead of a principality of poverty. Across the border is prosperous little Salvador. It is as different from Honduras as night is from day. It has a population so dense that if ours Hospitality must be for service and not for show, or it pulls down the post. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it bath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to out makes and fair water than belong to city feast. Waldo Waldo Emerson. Before and After. Before he gets her he says: "How womanly!" when she does anything. But after he gets her he says: "That's just like a woman!" when she does a thing.—Cindy Crawford Engineer. Hospitality. of the bean were of equal density we would have a population of 700,000,000 in the continental United States; and, although nearly half of the country is mountainous, the people are normally able to get their living out of what they produce and still have a comfortable balance of trade in their favor. The Salvadorean people are different from those of any other Central American state. They have a middle class. There are thousands of little farms not much larger than a good-sized city block, and yet it is here that the real prosperity of Salvador is created. In no other way could a million and a quarter souls find subsistence on 8,000 square miles of territory, nearly half of it mountains. Nicaragua and Revolutions. Niceragua is in much the condition of Honduras. There have been revolutions there since the memory of the inhabitants runneth not to the contrary. Here one sees a thousand opportunities for the development of great wealth. Virgin forests of all the precious woods in the category extending for miles on end; coffee lands where millions of pounds of splendid coffee might be grown; sugar lands which might yield hundreds of thousands of sacks of sugar; and yet all stand idle. Why? Ask the American coffee growers of the Matagalpa district; ask the cotton growers of Campo Santo. The revolutions come along and leave their coffee to spoil ungathered and their cotton to go to waste unpicked. Ask the financier from New Orleans who spent 20 years of hardships their trying to gather together a compel, and who finally found his business wrecked and in the hands of the receivers. Given good governments, then, no countries on the map would afford greater opportunities for profitable investments than those of Central America. With such governments as some of them have had beretofe all their natural wealth cannot offset the disadvantages of those governments, and an investment at 4 per cent in the United States has often been preferred to one yielding 100 per cent in some of these countries. When we come to Costa Rica, things are beginning to be different, and Costa Rica does not like to be reckoned in the same class with Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala. Until recently she has had scarcely a revolution in a generation. Panama which is geographically a part of Central America, though it has not been politically so since independence was gained from Spain, is blest with some very fine farming and fruitlands in the region next to Costa Rica; but nearly all of the Panamans have gone down to the canal zone region for the time being. Some of the most beautiful tierra templada lands in America are to be found in the Chiquirí country, and when the people of the United States get acquainted with the possibilities there, some of them are going to settle in that region and make it a splendid example of the possibilities of tropical America. It is not improbable that one of the results of the completion of the Panama canal will be the realization by the people of the United States that its safety depends in no small degree upon the good conduct of the governments of Central America. That will mean a demand for a new order of things in these countries, which in turn will mean safe investments for American capital. Then will dawn an era of development in Central America comparable to that which has taken place in Porto Rico and in Cuba. Around the World for a Nickel. On the wall of a shop not far from Fifth avenue, New York, there is hanging in a frame a large envelope which has been forwarded from one point to another around the world. It reached as far south as New Zealand and north as far as Russia, where it touched some years before the disturbed conditions of war prevailed. The original inscription was hardly discernible at the end of the journey and a five-cent stamp carried it all the way. Diplomatic Youngster Harold was often allowed to visit is grandmother, but was always told he hour he should return home. On arriving at his grandmother's one porning he was asked how long he could stay. "Well, grandmother, I don't remember whether mother said en o'clock or three o'clock, but I po home after dinner and ask her." To Dream of Mackerel.

Pa.—Whether a sweet little mountain girl, who wore a large blacksnake around her neck when she came to town, is attempting to set a new fall style is not known, nevertheless she attracted considerable attention. The snake wriggled around in a threatening manner, but persons who seemed to know said there was no danger from a bite of the snake, the only menace being the bug, and the little stranger didn't mind that. Refusing to give her name, she imparted the information that she had caught the snake after she and her father had left their home in West Virginia for Uniontown, and had no convenient way to carry it other than on her neck or waist. She couldn't understand why she was attracting so much attention. INEBRIETY IN ENGLAND GAINS Convictions of Women Are on the Increase—Many Blame the Closing of Saloons. London.—Drunkenness increased by over 65 per cent in England during last year, according to official licensing statistics. The reaction after the war period of sobriety was shown by 95,763 convictions, compared with 57,948 in 1919. There were only 29,075 convictions in 1918. The convictions of women were 36 per cent more than in 1919, and more than double the total of 1918. The Daily Express, while admitting the figures are startling, attributes the increase in convictions to the continuance of early closing regulations enforced during the war and suggests that "people who are denied reasonable facilities for obtaining liquor have taken, in their resentment, more than was good for them when they could get it." The paper also holds that the closing of properly conducted saloons has led to the opening of many bogus clubs and illicit drinking dens. Official health returns for 1920 just issued indicate, on the other hand, that the nation as a whole is distinctly healthier. Tuberculosis figures are the lowest recorded since compulsory notification came into force. The number of deaths from consumption was 33,460. The infant mortality rate, 80 per 1,000, is also the lowest recorded, while the birth rate rose from 18.5 in the previous year to 25.4 and the death rate, 12.4, shows a decline at most ages.

The bureau of standards says that glass would slowly disintegrate when buried in moist soil. The action on the glass would be due primarily to water and alkali. The disintegrating action would vary with the composition or character of the glass and the conditions that obtained in the soil. This action would probably be extremely slow with any glass, and it would probably be centuries before some glass would be completely disintegrated. Curious Masterpieces. Literary masterpieces have been written on strange mediums. Smart's poem, "Song to David," was written with a key on the walls of a madhouse. Coleridge once wrote a sonnet on a scrap of seaweed.

SCOUT WHO PLANTED ORCHARDS Not all of the great scouts were Indian fighters. In contrast to the career of Lewis Wetzel, who was something of a professional Indian killer, is the life of John Chapman or "Johnny Appleseed." Chapman never killed an Indian in his life, but he probably saved as many white men from death at their hands as Wetzel did. Chapman first appeared on the Ohio frontier in 1806. He came floating down the Ohio river in a canoe, towing another, and both boats were loaded with apple seeds from the elder mills of Pennsylvania. His purpose was to plant the seeds in the wilderness so that orchards would be started for the settlers when they arrived there to make their homes. For the next 30 years he went everywhere up and down the Ohio country, planting seeds, going from one orchard to another, pruning and caring for the young trees. He was a welcome visitor in the log cabins of the settlers for he always carried a Bible and some books from which he would read and preach to them before the blazing fireplaces in the evening. Simmering! Sizzling Hot! Just at the boiling point and you can smell how good the coffee is going to taste!

Insist on buying Butter-Nut, branded in an original sealed package PAXTON & GALLAGHER CO. Johnny practiced his teachings of humility and kindness. He never killed anything for food. He carried a kit of cooking utensils, including a mush pan, which he sometimes wore as a hat. Usually he wore a broad-brimmed black hat, but a coffee sack with arm holes cut in it was his only coat. White men called him "queer," for he often went barefoot in winter as well as in summer, but the Indians said, "He has been touched by the Great Spirit." He went everywhere among them unharmed, for the fact that Johnny never carried a gun convinced them that he was under the special protection of the Manito. During the War of 1812 when the British were overrunning the Ohio country, Johnny Appleseed performed his greatest service for his people. In his wanderings among the tribes he often learned of their plans for attacks on the settlements. Where no other white man could have gone Johnny passed in safety and more than once he carried warnings to the settlers, giving them time to prepare for defense before the red invaders swept down upon them. All this time Johnny Appleseed was carrying out his cherished dream of making Ohio bloom with fruit trees and many of the finest orchards in that state today owe their beginnings to this strange man. In his later years Johnny left the country which he had helped beautify and went to live with a relative in Fort Wayne, Ind. He died in 1847.

PRICELESS WEIGHTS FOUND Only Complete Set of Colonial Standard is Discovered at Alexandria, Va. Washington.—What is regarded as an important historic find has just been made in the discovery of the original set of standard weights and measures of Fairfax county in the Town hall at Alexandria, Va. The set is complete and consists of a yard-stick, weights from 1 to 100 pounds and measures of all capacities, both dry and wet. All are of solid brass and are inscribed "Fairfax County, 1744." It has taken Six Years to build up this circulation and we are still growing. Merchants who desire to reach the best buyers in the community use The Monitor. The implements have been in the Town hall for a long time, but it was only recently that they were cleaned and the inscriptions discovered. An expert from the Department of Agriculture who examined the set states that they are the only complete set of colonial weights in the United States and as such are priceless. At the time they were made Alexandria was the county seat of Fairfax county. When Alexandria was ceded to the District of Columbia Fairfax Court-house was made the county seat. DENTLO HORSE'S TAIL PRIVILEGED Can Switch It When, Where and How He Pleases, Is Decision of New York Court. MANUFACTURED BY THE Kaffir Chemical Laboratories OMAHA NEBRASKA New York.—A horse's tail is privileged. That was decided in the Tomba court by Magistrate Corrigan. It cost Mike Baccarelli $10 to learn that about his equine employee. Baccarelli, a driver, was haled into court by an agent of the Humane society, who accused him of beating his horse. The beating was caused, he told the court, because the horse with one magnificent swish of the tail had knocked a perfect out of Baccarelli's hand. Betsy Ross Bread "A tail belongs to a horse," decided the magistrate. "He can switch it when, where and as much as he pleases. That's what it's for. Ten dollars or five days in fail."

BAFFLED FOE IN THE FAR EAST Offset German Propaganda and Uphold Confidence of the Natives During Critical Period—Treasury Restoring Supply. New York.—Silver, like gold, is trickling toward the United States. It is coming to its best and readiest market in a stream that, of course, is not comparable to the amount of gold imported, but yet in sufficient volume to present unmistakable evidence that nooks and crannies are being searched for boarded silver, that bank vaults of Europe in which silver has been collected for months are being emptied, and that our own chest, depleted by war needs, is being refilled to its normal brimming level. The silver now coming to the United States was mostly mined in this country, or at least exported from here, and comes back with a service stripe. Used in the War. Silver was used in the war to offset German propaganda in the Far East. While troops were holding back the Germans in their drive on Paris in the spring of 1918, a flood of silver offset completely the efforts of the Germans to stir up trouble in the Far East. Silver dollars, idle in the vaults of the United States treasury department, were melted down into bars and hurried across the Pacific to provide additional cover for paper money, about which the natives of India had become alarmed. The importance of dispelling disquieting reports in the Far East about the reserves, is indicated by the importance of silver in the economic life of the Far East. It is the money of the bazaars of India. It is the coin in which bazaars are paid and purchases made, and is the coin with which the native has been familiar since childhood and the one bullion in which he places implicit confidence. The size of this outflow of silver from the United States in the days when it was considered a necessity to aid in winning the war may be judged from the figures of the director of the mint. In the six years from 1915 to 1920, inclusive, imports of silver into the United States amounted to $308,933,478, while exports totaled $813,808,536, an excess of exports over imports of $444,875,058. Production of silver in the United States in the same period was $322,807,506. From 1915 to 1919 inclusive the amount of new silver consumed in the arts in the United States was valued at $5,759,681. Shortage Made Up. The following table of imports and exports indicates why it was necessary to draw upon the stock of silver in the United States treasury to make up the shortage, including the melting of 270,121,155 silver dollars under the Pittman act: | Imports | Exports | Excess of Exports Over Imports | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1920 | 88,600,041 | 115,614,224 | 147,004,180 | | 1929 | 89,409,038 | 239,101,051 | 169,611,033 | | 1918 | 71,375,699 | 82,846,494 | 181,470,756 | | 1917 | 52,340,477 | 82,846,494 | 10,790,398 | | 1916 | 32,323,389 | 70,358,057 | 38,331,748 | | 1915 | 34,483,554 | 35,598,884 | 11,141,950 | Total: $368,903,478 | $812,808,536 | $444,875,056 The Pittman act of April, 1918, authorized the melting of silver dollars to the extent of 350,000,000 to meet the world shortage of silver, production here falling of silver, production the demand. The stock of silver money held by the United States was reduced from $757,400,624 in 1915 to $540,282,504 held at the end of 1920. Now the chest is being replenished. Last February the colage of silver dollars was resumed and the treasury is to continue its purchases of silver until that melted to help win the war has been restored. BEAVERS SAVE PEAR CROP Dama Opened and Loss of Irrigating Water Supplied by Industrious Animals. Orondo, Wash.—Water from two beaver dams saved the pear crop of growers in the Entia district recently. There has been a shortage of water for irrigation purposes because of the drying up of Entia creek. Despite rigid enforcement of the users' rights law, the supply dwindled until drought threatened the pear harvest within three weeks of marketing. Horace Mann, the district gauger, went up into the mountains to investigate the source of the creek, and discovered that beavers had dammed the water by erecting two large obstructions across a flat valley. The dams were opened and enough water was released to save the entire crop and then again closed to save the lives of the little builders. What's Fate of Army Bean? Camp Lewis, Wash—Army recruits are asking regarding the fate of the army bean, stored piece-de-resistance of army posts in the past. National Guardmen in Washington, who have been in encampment here this summer, report they did not find beans on the menu once. Honors More Than Even Honors More Than Even. "I hear you got the worst of it with the little boy next door," I remarked to Harry. "Oh, I didn't get much the worser of it," asserted the little chap.
