WE'RE LIFTING BETTER LIFT ALSO $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy WHAT OBSERVERS ARE OBSERVING IN WASHINGTON President's Message in Congress In Considered Thorough American In Tone And Has In All Citizens of Repub EARLY ACTION ON DYER BILL Anticipated By Those In Touch With National Legislation. Johnson's Rejection Deemed Unwise. Daughtery for Justice (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15.—President Harding has a thoroughly American message to Congress, according to the opinion of a majority of the people. The President has no reference to racial matters, nor lynching. This is regarded as being in keeping with the fundamental purpose of the message, and the avowed ideals of the Administration of talking to all Americans alike. With reference to lynching, a subject occupying much attention in Congress with Administration backing, the Dyer bill promises to take early precedence over other legislation. In other words, Congress is at last aroused to the necessity of healing the wounds of disappointment in the body politic caused by the infliction of painful silence. “Passing the Buck,” has become one of the season's pastimes. House members and Senators who returned from a brief vacation to the homelands, bring back news of most disquieting unrest because there has not been enough practical politics played in the new Administration. There are murmurings about the White House with fingers pointed in the direction of Capitol Hill, and there are murmurings on the hill about affairs at the other end of the avenue politically speaking. Around Republican headquarters—National—, in the Munsey Building, which is about half way between the two other locations, they are pointing their fingers with outstretched hands, in both directions. The plain facts of the case, as viewed from the Washington monument, which gives a bird's-eye-view of all, there should be considerable speeding up in all directions. Albis and "passing the buck" will not carry the cause of 1922. Party workers, who get out in the dust and mud and tune the electorate up to singing the song of victory on the first Tuesday in November, will refuse to accept excuses. Determined Leadership Needed It is being said by all the folks concerned, and this includes those who are coming up for suffrage approval, or condemnation next year, that a really determined leadership, void of sentiment, is needed. It is being argued, especially by members of Congress, with whom the A. N. P. representative discussed the situation, that the Senate "Pulled a terrible boner," when it failed to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson. The reaction of the Race press on this matter seems to justify the contention of the Congressional side. From one end of the country to the other, the press has condemned the failure in no uncertain terms. As a matter of cold fact, party managers, responsible for the election success of the party, have expressed the fear that the Democrats might continue to play, a bit of "Senatorial Courtesy" politics, and put in a personal objection on all Presidential nominations, from now on. Investigation by The Associated Negro Press discloses the fact that the majority of the good places held by the stalwarts of official preferment, are still occupied by Democrats, a few of whom profess to be Republicans, and many of whom still con- THE MONITOR tinue to admit with gusto that they are "Dixie Democrats." W. E. Gibbs Is Retired W. E. Gibbs Is Retired It will be gratifying information to those who followed the series of articles carried by The Associated Negro Press last summer, to learn that W. E. Gibbs, who was then secretary to Attorney General Daugherty, has been retired from that position where he could not see why Colored Americans should object to segregation in the Department because white people did not object, and his position has been filled by Secretary Martin, who was formerly secretary to the late Senator Knox. Mr. Martin is both a gentleman and a good Republican. Attorney General Daugherty has declared in an open statement that his department must be run with absolute fairness to all. In discussing recently the grave responsibility of selecting thirty-two additional Federal Judges, who are appointed for life, Mr. Daugherty declared that they must be men who will be just to all, "rich and poor, white and colored." He further declared that they must be men who will see that all laws are enforced without fear or favor. Special Assistant Attorney General Perry W. Howard has handled the cases assigned to him with much credit in the "Claims Department," that he has been given the privilege of promoting his former clerk, Attorney Lewis Mellinger, to be his assistant and L. R. Lautier, acting as secretary and C. A. Evans, who was stenographer for years in the office of the late Senator Knox. GUIOU TAYLOR MAKING GOOD IN MUSIC Omaha Boy Receives Complimentary Notice in Kansas City. Advocate. Is Son of Mrs. Northern Jenkins. The Kansas City Advocate in a recent issue contained the following item which will be of interest to Omaha readers. "Last Sunday at 3 p. m. the public was given one of the few musical treats that it has been their opportunity to hear. It was a concert rendered by the Western University band and was held in the auditorium of the First A. M. E. Church. A large and appreciative audience was present. While this is only a college organization it has a score or more of excellent musicians. "Mr. G. Taylor, a young man of Omaha, Nebr., is the director. He is also director of the orchestra and teacher of violin and is making out of these departments the best musical organizations Western has ever had."

Ohio Politician Selected In the Place Of Henry Lincoln Johnson Who Was Not Confirmed WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. — The name of Charles Cottrell, colored politician of Toledo, Ohio, is expected to be sent to the Senate shortly after congress reconvenes for confirmation as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Cottrell will get the job following the refusal of the senate to confirm Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, who was first nominated. Johnson is said to have been opposed by President Harding, who favored giving the plum to Cottrell. Efforts being made to keep the job from going to any colored man will prove unavailing, it is now indicated, Cottrell when named, will become the employer of a number of white women working in this office. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15th, 1921. RETURNS FROM DENVER The Rev. John Albert Williams, pastor of the Church of St. Phillip the Deacon and editor of the Monitor, returned this week from Dnver, Colo., where he preached an eight day mission from November 27 to December 4, in the Church of the Holy Redeemer, of which the Rev. Harry Ellsworth Rahming, a talented young priest, is vicar. The mission services were well attended. Father Williams remained for several days after the close of the mission, taking a brief, but well earned vacation, and was most hospitably entertained by the vicar and many friends in the congregation, some of whom were former residents of Omaha. NATIVES OF INDIA GIVE WALES PRINCE A COLD RECEPTION Proclaim Day of Mourning and Refuse to Take Part in Ceremonies At Allahabad LONDON, Dec. 12.—A complete boycott by the natives marked the Prince of Wales' visit to Allahabad, India, today. Obedient to Ghandi's orders, the natives proclaimed a "partial," or day of mourning, when the prince arrived, refusing to attend the ceremonies to the royal visit. No violence or other outbreaks were reported during the prince's visit but it is said that threats, intimidations and terrorization were used by the native extremists to prevent the people from attending the welcome. There was a remarkable scene when the prince arrived. Instead of tumultuous cheering crowds such as have greeted them elsewhere, the royal party was apparently a city of the dead. ADAM'S OLD CHESTPA GIVES GOOD CONCELT Fine Musical Organization Please Large Audience With Excellent Program at Zion Baptist The lecture room of Zion Baptist Church was filled with a large and appreciative audience Monday night when Adams' orchestra gave an excellent concert of classical numbers under the auspices of the Laymen's Club of the church. This fine musical organization is under the management of Holland Harrold and the leadership of W. P. Vaughn, and includes in its membership such artists as Jeff Smith, solo cornetist; W. P. Vaughn and Herbert Walton, violinists; H.McGill, pianist; L. L. Gaines, clarinetist Lloyd Allen, trombonist; Joe Drake, saxaphonist. The ensemble work and soloists were delightful and won repeated encores. The program opened promptly at the hour appointed, 8:30, with Barnhouse's march "Worthy Sons of America," followed by Lutspiel Overture by Bela and Reverie—D. Automne by Golden, all given with splendid interpretation and musicianship. Other orchestra numbers were Alexander's march, "The Southerner;" Princess of India," overture by King; "Memories of Stephen Foster," medley by Holmes; "Dream Chimes," intermezzo, Wyatt; Sousa's march, "Stars and Stripes Forever" and Hansflush overture "Sunshine and Showers." Special features of the excellent program were a cornet solo, "Facilita," by Jeff Smith; banjo solo "11 Travatore" by R. W. Reed; soprano solo, "When the Heart is Young," Miss Irene Cochran, who also sang by special request as an encore with ringing inspiration, "We've Fought Everey Race's Battle But Our Own;" and a drum solo, with xylophone obligato by Holland Harrold, and a saxaphone quartet, March of the Vikings, by Drake, McGill, Gaines and Allen. ABDUL BAHA PASHA SERVANT OF GOD, DIES Head of Movement Which is Gaining Adherents Among Colored People Of United States NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—A cable from Haifa, Syria, announces the death of Abdul Baha, "Servant of God," expounder of the Bahaist movement and recognized as one of the greatest philosophers of modern times. In spite of the age old intolerance of religious beliefs and mankinds universal jealousy of his chosen faith, Bahaism, so called, has taken a greater hold on the masses of mankind than any teaching since the life of Gautama Buddha. It is claimed that 50,000,000 people believe in and preach the Bahaist philosophy that "of one blood God made all nations." There are many thousands of colored people in the United States who have left orthodox Christianity and have become Bahaists because of the hypocrisy of so-called Christians on the color question. Abdul Baha was born at Teheran Persia, of noble parentage. In 1868 he and his father were banished to the prison of Akka, in Syria. When the Young Turks overthrew the despotic rule of the Sultan in 1908 he was freed and in 1912 he traveler through America. On May 1 of that year he dedicated the sit at Chicago where the Bahaists are now building a temple costing many millions of dollars which is intended as the center of their culture for all the world. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE DEFEATS FISK (By The Associated Negro Press.) NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 9. Or Thanksgiving afternoon in the Southern League Ball Park, Nashville, Tenn., before a large attendance of football enthusiasts, the Morehouse College Tigers defeated the Fisk Bulldogs, 6-0. This annual battle for supremacy between the Tigers and the Bull-dogs was played on a sea of mud and water with a steamy downpour of rain during three quarters of the game. The rain, however, seemed to increase the brilliancy of the playing of the two teams. Neither had tasted the cup of defeat and both fought with a determination to finish with a clean slate and the title of Southern champions. The referee's whistle brought the game to a close with the ball in Morehouse's possession and the Fisk team fighting valiantly to stave off another touchdown. Both spectators and officials were loud in their praise of the players of both teams and the manner in which they conducted themselves. The officials were capable and efficient and the game went off with out delay and smoothly. The Morehouse team this year has proved itself a remarkable defensive team, only one time has any college team carried the ball within its thirty yard line, this honor going to Fisk. The only scores recorded against the team were made in the first game of the season by Camp Benning. While the Morehouse varsity was subsiding the Fisk Bull-dogs Thanksgiving Day the Morehouse reserves were taming the Knox Institute team, at Athens Ga., 13-0.

INSTITUTE WINS FROM WILBERFORCE 14-0 INSTITUTE, W. Va., Dec. 9.—Fresh from their victory over the in experienced and rugged Kentucky State Normal, and trusting to their bewildering aerial attacks with various trick formations and the famous Dartmouth "shift", the Wilberforce warriors matched Institute on Turkey day and most submissively bowed their heads in the stinging defeat dealt them by the hard fighting "Yellowjackets" of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. Both teams were on a par and the rain drenched gridiron warranted their playing at a great disadvantage, nevertheless, that daring of the West Virginians resulted in a 14-0 victory. The lineup: W. V.

Episcopal Archdeacon, British Subject Was Flogged For Christian Work Among Negroes In Florida MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 15.—Acting under telegraphic instructions from the British embassy at Washington, A. H. Hubbard, British vice-counsel here, today has begun an investigation into the taring and feathering here last Aug. of the Rev. Phillip S. Irwin, Arch deacon of the Protestant Episcopal Church, who was engaged in doing work amongst the colored people of this section. Mr. Hubbard said the inquiry also would include the case of George Doty a colored blacksmith who was 'tracer and feathered and ordered to leave the town. Both of these men being British subjects, a great deal of interest is felt in the investigation and many of the members of the mobs who were guilty of mistreating them are known to have become very uneasy as to what the result will be. CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY The beautiful home of the Rev. and Mrs. D. M.

A bountheous repast was partaken of by those present. The tables and house were artistically decorated. Mr. McQueen was the recipient of many beautiful and useful gifts. IOWA MASONS DENY' RESPONSIBILITY FOR LYNCHING ATTEMPT Regular Masons Not Concerned Attempted Lynching at Sioux City, Iowa KEOUK, Ia., Dec. 15.-The at tempted lynching of Sam Jones, Negro, Mason, at Sioux City, Iowa, on the night of November 30th by members of his lodge for alleged betrayal of Masonic secrets, has been investigated by the regular Masonic authority in Iowa, who found that those concerned in the affair were not identified with, nor recognized by the regular Masonic fraternity. A little more than a year ago, some kind of an organization was placed in Sioux City, Iowa, by persons from outside the State, which they said was a lodge of Masons, with which the legitimate craft has had no fraternal intercourse whatever. This statement is made for the better information of the public and as a measure of justness to regular Masons wheresoever dispersed. W. W. Gross, Grand Master of Masons in Iowa. JAPANESE GIRL WINS HIGH SCHOOL HONOR OAKLAND, Cal., Dec. 15.—Angered at the selection of Yuku Furuta a Japanese, as speaker at the commencement exercises, white students of the Oakland high scoll have officially protested against the selection and threaten to absent themselves from the exercises unless a change is made by the faculty. According to the principal, C. E. Keyes, the girl was selected on her merits alone. Four members of her family are students at the University of California and her two brothers are students of the Oakland High School. She scored 24 "ones" and 11 "twos" for work during the past three years, according to Keyes, a record hitherto unknown in the history of the school. Investigation into the selection and the subsequent controversy was ordered by Sperintendent of Schools Free M. Hunter. Vol. VII. No. 24. THE N. W. C. A.

The novel, entitled "Batoula," deals with Negro life in Central Africa, the race question and problems and aspirations of the Negroes. LINCOLN. NEBRASKA Mrs. John Huff returned to her home in Hastings last Thursday after several days visit here. She met the O. E. S. chapter Tuesday night and was initiated into the Daughters of Isis last Wednesday night. Mr. W. C. Williams, photographer of Omaha, was in the city last week doing a lucrative business in his line. He does good work and we note with appreciation the willingness of our people to patronize our own. A surprise birthday party was given on Mrs. Ida Cohron last Tuesday night, by her daughter, Mrs. Opal Westberry, her son William Robinson, and Mrs. Lottie Hale. A large number of friends were present and many useful gifts were received. Mrs. Cohron thanked her friends. Mrs. Mayme Griffin is able to be out after her illness. Mrs. Mabel Galbreath has returned home from the hospital. Mr. Charles W. Dickerson of Omaha was a Lincoln visitor last week. Mrs. Virginia Clark has gained sufficient strength to be able to be out the past few days. Mr. and Mrs. W. Robert B. Alexander entertained the Utopian Art Club last Thursday night. A successful meeting was had. Mrs. W. M. Clark returned to her home in Wichita, Kas., Sunday after a pleasant stay with her daughter-in-law and son, W. R. Clark. The Sunday school at Mt. Zion Baptist church was well attended last Sunday morning. The pastor, Rev H. W. Botts, filled the pulpit morning and evening. The Sunday school will have a Christmas tree Saturday, Dec. 24th. The Rev. W. A. McClendon of the A. M. E. church is gradually getting acquainted with his congregation—hence more like home. He filled his pulpit Sunday morning and night. Sunday school was held at the usual hour after morning service. The young folks literary was well attended at 4 o'clock. Mayor and Attorney Take Just Stand We were elated over the position taken by Mayorr Frank C. Zehrung and Deputy City Attorney Wilke in the matter of the petition made by, it is said, thirty property owners in the vicinity of Twenty-first and Q streets, to the City Council to forbid the Morning Star Baptist church building on their lot. These gentlemen gave the petitioners to understand that the Council had no power in law from preventing the congregation from building there, if they desired. The constitution does not permit any discrimination between colored people and white people. If there is nothing to prevent the building of a church for white people in that locality then there is nothing to prevent colored people doing so. The Morning Star Baptist church of which Rev. J. P. Staves is pastor, has a membership of 200. It has applied for a building permit which has not been granted because plans were not submitted. Hence the delay is not due to the opposition. STEADILY GROWING THANKS ALL AROUND! VICTORY IN SIGHT AFTER TEN YEARS' PERSISTENT FIGHT National Association for Advancement of Colored People For Decade Has Waged Unremitting Warfare Against Lynching FEDERAL LAW SEEMS SURE Continued United Action Upon Part Of All Loyal Americans Who Realize Menace of Mobocracy Will Insure Passage or Dyer Bill NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—With the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill before Congress, and public sentiment daily becoming more insistent that this measure be passed by Congress, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has published a resume of its ten years of struggle for a federal law to endlynching. Expends $35,000 In its ten years of work, from 1911 to 1921, the National Association has raised and spent some $35,000 in its anti-lynching campaign. The introduction of anti-lynching bills in both houses of Congress and the favorable reports of the House Judiciary Committee in the 66th and 67th Congresses were the direct results of the Association's endeavors. The most important statistical study of lynching ever published in the United States, "Thirty Years of Lynching," was compiled by the Association and distributed broadcast throughout the country. Literature on lynching has not only been sent to every important white and colored newspaper in the United States but to many foreign newspapers of influence as well. As part of the Association's anti-lynching fight, more than FOUR MILLION copies of The Crisis have been sent to every state in the union and to every part of the world. Sends Press Releases Hundreds of press releases have been sent to newspapers and have been extensively printed, telegrams of protest at mob murder have been addressed to state governors, more than 2,000 public meetings were held at which more than THREE MILLION people were given the facts about lynching in the United States. Constant contact has been maintained with members of Congress in Washington and Senators and Representatives have been furnished with facts and statistics upon which they could base their proposed legislation. Representatives of the Association have appeared at all the hearings before Congressional committees on lynching and a brief was furnished members of Congress, setting forth the essential facts concerning lynching in the United States. Calls Anti-Lynching Congress Under the leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People a meeting was held in New York City in 1919, to which a call was issued by 120 leading citizens of the country. They included five governors, four ex-governors, members of congress, judges of the higher courts, members of the President's cabinet and other prominent men and women. Following this meeting an "Address to the Nation" was issued demanding a federal law against lynching, the address being signed by most of those who had issued the call to the conference. Meanwhile, public sentiment throughout the United States, by means of personal investigations of lynchings, made by members of the Association's staff, through the press and public meetings, has been formed to such an extent that nowhere does anyone dare to openly defend lynching. Only recently white women in Georgia and Alabama have benefited the lynching spirit, and denunciations have come from the most powerful of Southern newspapers. The National Associations investigations of lynchings made on the spot have done much to bring the facts to light. No other agency in the United States has been able to investigate lynchings as has the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose representatives have frequently risked their lives in order that the facts might be made known. After ten years of unremitting effort, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is confident that if public opinion will rally to the support of the Dyer Bill, it can be enacted into law, thus crowning the long and arduous efforts made to obtain this legislation.

HAMMOND, ete ee GREAT MISFORTUNE THE Cooperative Store, a $100,000 corporation, owned and operated by the colored people of this city, closed its doors a few months ago, probably never to open them again for business. It is sincerely regretted by us all that this once promising enter- prise could not continue. The Moni- tor shares equally, with all colored Omahans, in the regrets resulting from this failure. It had been our fondest hope that it would live, and we never lost the opportunity either through our columns or by mouth to say a good word on its behalf. Its closing came as a surprise, knowing ‘as we do its wisely conceived plan of organigation. Their plan was to dis: tribute their $100,000 of capital stock among at least 600 families, thereby virtually obligating this number te trade with them by reason of their in- vestment. They calculated that in 600 families there would be about 1800 persons who would have to be supplied in food, clothing, ete., etc. which would amount to, at the most conservative estimate $1.00 per day. ‘This would total $1800 per day upor which the company could certainly de- pend from its own members. This was reasonable and wise. Citizens rallied to it with great enthusiasm and sub- seribed freely of their money. Des- pite, however, this enormous support and its splendid articles of incorpor- ation it has completely failed and, this failure will not be felt alone by the smaller number immediately connect- ed with it, but the entire Colored Citi- zenry of Omaha. It will be a long time before we ean hope to regain the position and prestige furnished us by this organization. Now that it has failed, people have inquired how, and why. We are not in position to give all facts as to this, but it is quite ap- Parent that its failure resulted from ‘one or more of three things, namely, dishonesty, mismanagement or lack of cooperation, ‘We are thoroughly convinced, how- ever, that mismanagement as a result ‘of incompetence and inexperience 1 large business affairs did more thar anvthing else in bringing about thi ‘misfortune.

We believe the Board of Directors were honest in se- lecting from among them, those whom they intrusted with the business de- tails of the store, and experienced their own sad disappointment in find- ‘ing that the best they had were not large enough to fill the position. Much money was wasted in this costly ex. periment, and it is too late now to re count the mistakes. ‘This project is closed and it is for us to profit by their mistakes in our future ventures This will have its serious and effect ive reaction. We must be prepared ti meet it with a more united frorit anc wise conduct. We must still keep try- ing in the commercial field, undis. mayed by failures, just as white peo ple do, They do not give up because of one or more failures. Neither should we. We have still another ‘big chance right here in Omaha tt prove ourselves to be of the right bus nese. We have the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories—, a $500,000 Drug. and Phamaceutical Corporation, which as striking contrast to the Cooperative ‘Store has stemmed the tide of this fi- “nancial crisis and is at present able to stand on its fect, still intact. This has been made possible through wise ‘management and conservative spend- ine ‘They have suffered severely, it is true, from the lack of proper finan- ‘cial support, but have skillfully and ‘wisely avoided committing any great number of indiscretions. With our ‘united support, this could easily be- come one of the biggest money mak- ing coneerns in the country, It ha: assets amounting to nearly $750,000 ‘on hand, in the form of raw material. manufactured produets and equipment including a great plant. It only needs sufficient capital with which to put its goods on the market. We ought to get behind this enterprise and see to it that success can be had by us in the business world. We can demon strate the fact that all big colored businesses are not doomed to fail.

White, entitled, “Victory,” two. school-day stories by Lillian B, Witten, and one of the most charming little fairy tales of today, Angelina Grimke’s “Land of Laughter” from her play “Rachel.” We all like to read of the brave deeds of other men, and the colored child must feel a peculiar thrill when ‘he or she learns of the great colored ‘soldiers and explorers. As Matthew “Henson journeys with Peary to the "North Pole, we learn that they took 'n measurement of distance over which ‘they came. “With my proven ability |in guaging “distances, Commander |Peary was ready to take the reckon- “ing as I made it and he did not resort |to solar observations until we were |within a hand’s grasp of the Pole.’ | And what a wonderful thing to have |the black man and the white man to- igether at the spot where the Ameri can flag was set marking the loca tion of the North Pole! One of the great African explor- ers of our time is the Rev. William | Henry Sheppard. Mr. Sheppard wert to Africa as a missionary from the ‘Presbyterian Church and was instru- “mental in exposing the Congo atroc- i For this he gained the dis- Ipleastire of the Belgian government ‘and came near losing his life. His story of his journeys in the Congo was printed by the Presbyterian Mis- sionary Society and might have been i to the masses of colored readers had it not been for the “Upward | Path” where his wonderful description of the Kingdom of Lukenga is now | given prominence. One learns that’in jthis forbidden land of Lukegna, guarded against outside influence, there was a kindly, intelligent gov- ernment that encouraged handicraft, cleanliness and moral living. Mr. Sheppard's story also of animal life in Africa is in the “Upward Path’ and gives us a good idea of what the traveler may expeet who goes into equatorial Africa, * Among the biographies is a sketch of Benjamin Bannecker and another of Paul Cuffee; the first admired by President Jefferson, the second a friend of President Madison. “There were giants in those days,” and it is good to read of these early day fig- ures in American Negro history. Thé book abounds in good poetry suitable for recitation at public gath- erings. There is a little poem by Cordelia Ray of the Month, which would make a pretty recitation for twelve children, each costumed to rep- resent a month and each reciting a verse. The book has one delightful bit of farce, “Travels with a Georgia Mule” by James Weldon Johnson, whose ser- ious work in his two great poems, “Fifty Years,” and “Black and Un known Bards,” are «iso in the book. But you must handle “The Upward Path” to appreciate it, and to see the charming illustrations by Laura Wheeler that makes this collection a lovely gift book for any child.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF The services last Sunday were well-attended and the congregation, choir and Sundoy School are slowly, but steadily and substantially growing. The Girls' Friendly Society holds interesting meetings at the rectory every Monday afternoon. The girls will supply some deserving family with a Christmas dinner and their children with toys. Needed repairs and improvements are being made on the rectory which includes new roofing and internal decorating and papering of all the rooms. The painting or stuccoing of the exterior will be deferred until the spring. Services next Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Advent will be as follows: Holy Communion, 7:30 a. m.; matins, 8:30; Church school 10:00 a. m.; holy eucharist and sermon, 11:00; evening prayer and sermon at 8 o'clock. Y. M. C. A. NOTES "May He, the Unseen Guest abide, Within your heart this Christmas tide, That ever through the days to be The Christ may be revealed to Thee." The Girls' Reserve Clubs are planning interesting programs for the Holidays. They are filled with the Christmas Spirit and hope to spread much cheer in the community. The Girls' work committee under the chairman, Mrs. Larry Peoples, met Wednesday evening to devise new plans for the girls. Three new advisors have been added to the committee, Misses Dorothy Williams Martha Roberts and Katie Cheney These young ladies will supervise different groups of girls. Miss Cheney recently resigned the office of president of the Blue Triangle Club of which she was a potent factor, to take charge of a Reserve group. She was succeeded by Miss Bertha Lawson, a recent graduate of Commerce High School. We appreciate the work of the young ladies and hope for them much success with the groups. The spirit of Christian Service is wonderful. Let us all possess it. As a result of the Children's play and the bazaar under the supervision of Mrs. R. T. Walker and Mrs. Alice Smith, the Center has been beautified with the gifts of a wicker floor lamp and fernery. The ladies' earnest endeavors netted about $50. The Association wishes to express appreciation and thanks to the ladies and children who worked so earnestly to make the entertainment a success.

Big T In Dig Things In Peru Herd of Llamas in Peru. (Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) Peru, which has been celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its independence from Spain, in the presence of commissioners officially representing the United States and other nations, is far enough out of the beaten path of most North Americans to be but vaguely known to them. It is often thought of, no doubt, as a little republic clinging to the sides of the labyrinth. Andes lest it slip and be lost in the Pacific. But in area and interest Peru is by no means negligible; and if it has failed to take an important place in world affairs, either commercial or political, it may well be that that fact is due, not to lack of size and resources and potential wealth and power, but rather to immaturity. Peru has every climate under heaven, together with many of the products and conditions that go with them. It has the sand dunes of the inahara; the fertile, sun-bathed, irrigated valleys of California; the dry grazing lands of Australia; the productive mountain valleys and uplands of Kashmir; the bleak plateaus of Tibet; the snow peaks of Switzerland; and the tropical jungles of Central Africa and Brazil. And off its shores, tropical in latitude but mild in temperature, the waters, so cold that often they are uncomfortable for bathing, are alive with the sea life of the neo-antarctic. Much of Peru is occupied by the towering Andes, with few passes less than 15,000 feet high, and with numerous peaks exceeding 21,000 feet. These great ramparts are chiefly responsible for the diversity of Peru's climatic conditions. They precipitate the moisture of the Atlantic winds and so create the tropical jungles that stretch from their bases toward the interior of the continent; thrust slopes and plateaus up into the cool regions of the upper air; and cut off the Pacific coast section from the moisture-laden winds, making much of it a desert. Coast Strip Has Rivers but no Rain. Although the strip of Peru between the Pacific and the western foothills of the Andes is devoid of rain and largely desert, many streams from the mountains break across this region to the sea, and the relatively narrow valleys, irrigated from their waters, constitute the most fertile land of the country. Most of the desert land between the parallel rivers is not so from lack of fertility but because of the absence of life-giving water. This is a most unusual region lying within the tropics and adjoining the sea, where normally vegetable growth would be abundant. If it could be viewed from a distance of a thousand miles through a telescope it would probably appear much as the supposed canals of Mars have been described as appearing to some observers—dark, roughly parallel lines of vegetation on a drab, verdureless background. Some of the bench lands have been reclaimed for considerable distances from the rivers, and projects have been considered to impound the waters that rush down from the melting Andean snows and bring under cultivation practically the whole coast region. Peru has an area of about 700,000 square miles and is therefore only slightly smaller than Mexico and well over a quarter the size of the United States exclusive of Alaska. If Peru could be laid down on the surface of the United States so that its southernmost point coineded with the southernmost projection of Texas its northeastern corner would lie near Peoria, Ill., and its northwestern extremity near Cheyenne, Wyo. The rough triangle would cover practically all of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, half of Nebraska, parts of Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa and South Dakota, and fragments of New Mexico and Wyoming. Where the Inca flourished. Just as the United States was settled from the Atlantic coast and developed first its coastal strip, leaving as an unknown region for generations the country to the west beyond its mountains and deserts, so Peru has developed in the reverse direction. The European conquerors of its Inca empire entered the country from the Pacific coast, and it is along this strip Grain's Many Names. Corn is a term often used for use for the important cereal crop of a given region; thus in England corn usually means wheat; in Scotland, oats; in Ireland, barley, while in this country it means malze. Jud Tinkins says he's perfectly willing to be wrong sometimes, for the sake of not spollin' an interestin' ar gument. hings Peru of coast land that European blood and culture have made themselves most strongly felt. To the east rise the three towering ranges of the Andes, their slopes, peaks and intervening valleys and plateaus constituting the "Sierra," the second of the three great geographic divisions of Peru. In this lofty region the Inca civilization held sway with a marvelously intricate but efficient governmental machine, before the Spanish came. Cuzco, the capital of the Inca empire, was silted in a fertile, protected valley of the Sierra region, and remains today one of the important Peruvian toms. Its population now, however, is only 15,000, about one-tenth that of the city when it was the Babylon of the western hemisphere. In the almost inaccessible country to the northwest of Cuzco, and less than 50 miles distant, hidden away among the mountains, was Machu Pichu, the secret city where the forerunners of the Incas, almost destroyed by barbarians, nursed their civilization and culture for centuries before going out into the valleys and founding their great empire. This old city, whose existence had been only a tradition for hundreds of years, was discovered in 1911 and uncovered in 1912 by expeditions of the National Geographic society and Yale university. The Sierra, or region of mountains, valleys and plateaus, is still the land of the heirs of the Incas. In this portion of Peru lives the largest single element in the population, the civilized Indians, descendants of the Incas. Though the population of Peru is not known accurately, it is estimated to be about 5,000,000. The Indians of the Sierra number close to 2,000,000. Immense Mineral Resources. In the Peruvian Sierra, too, are the mining developments. Peru's mineral resources are almost inexhaustible. Gold and silver are the minerals on which most emphasis was placed by the Spaniards. Fortunes in both were removed from the country, but rich deposits remain. In recent years copper has led other minerals in the value of production. The copper mines at Cerre de Pasco are among the richest in the world. Almost every mineral substance known is believed to have been compounded in nature's great Andean laboratory. The list of products from Peruvian mines covers much of the alphabet from antimony to vanadium. Of great importance are the petroleum wells of the northern coast, whose production is next in value to the country's copper output. To the east of the Andes, cut off from the more developed portion of the country, lies the third geographical division, the region known as the Montana, Peru's land of the future. This part of the republic is made up of the wooded landward slopes of the Andes, grassy foothills, and the heavy little-known jungles and forests that spread out to the east for a thousand miles or more along the broad valley of the Amazon and its tributaries. Because of the heavy rainfall the growth of vegetation in this part of Peru is believed to be as heavy as anywhere else in the world. Even at midday in some of the forests the light is no brighter than at twilight in open country. In a glade, with dense vegetation on all sides, one feels that he has been dropped down into the bottom of a deep green-lined pit. The country on the eastern slopes of the Andes and on the foothills before the dense forest is reached has been settled very sparsely; but over thousands of square miles of the jungle the foot of civilized man has never trod. A few tribes of undivided Indians roam through these forest depths. Many large rivers rising on the eastern slopes of the Andes, flow across the Montana region of Peru, into Brazil, and finally find their way into the Atlantic 2,000 miles away, through the mighty Amazon. Ocean vessels ascend the Amazon to Iquitos, the metropolis of eastern Peru, nearly 200 miles within Peruvian territory; and by river boats the journey may be continued to within 200 miles of the Pacific. Along many of the rivers in eastern Peru are towns of some importance, which are the outposts of Peruvian civilization, commerce and government in this isolated trans-Andean empire. --- E.

Plans are being laid by the Vancouver Historical society to preserve the old Covington house at Orchards, six miles from this little town. The house is said to be the oldest in the northwestern part of the United States. It is of logs and is in a ruinous condition, being used as a sheepfold. The historical society expects to restore it. The cabin was built early in the last century by Richard Covington, an employee of the Hudson's Bay company, when Fort Vancouver was the capital of the fur company on the western side of the Rocky mountains. It was the first schoolhouse in the Northwest. Covington taught the children of fur company employees and settlers there. Mrs. Elizabeth Bird, eighty-five years of age, still living in Clarke county, Washington, was married in it in 1858 by Chapplain John McCarty, stationed at Fort Vancouver. This was a short time after U. S. Grant. after his return from the Mexican war, visited the fort. When Fort Vancouver was owned by the Hudson's Bay company, the company was ruler of three-fourths of the North American continent. Its dominion extended from Labrador to the Pacific and from the Arctic ocean to the Spanish settlements in California. It moved its western headquarters to Fort Victoria on Vancouver island during the dispute between England and the United States over the Oregon boundary line. It surrendered its sovereignty to Canada in 1870. EASY TO START "HARD TIMES" Rumor Becomes an Endless Chain Once the Proper Impetus Has Been Given to it. In Paris a portrait painter sat in his favorite cafe sipping his wine. His first small bottle finished, he was about to order more when his eye fell on a headline in the Figaro, "Hard Times Are Coming" so instead of ordering his usual second bottle he called for his check. "Is there anything wrong with the wine?" asked the landlord. "Hard times," said the landlord, "Then my wife must not order the slik dress we planned, but must take one of cotton." "Hard times," repeated the dress- maker when the order was canceled. "This is no time to expand. I must not make the improvements I had planned in the place." "Hard times, eb?" said the builder when the dressmaker canceled the building plans. "Then I cannot have my wife's portrait painted." So he wrote to the artist and canceled his order. After receiving the letter the artist went again to his favorite cafe and ordered a small bottle of wine to soothe him. On a nearby chair was the paper in which he had read of hard times two days before. He picked it up to read more closely and found it was two years old! Parachutes Rescue Flyer. Wireless and aeronautic science were recently employed in a very timely combination which saved the life of an air-service cadet flying from Mather field, California, over Crater National forest in Oregon, according to an article in Popular Mechanics Magazine. While in the neighborhood of Crater lake, the spark plugs ceased working in the engine of his plane, and landing was necessary. Choice in landing places was confined to either the rugged mountain peaks below or a small island of black lava in the middle of the lake. After some deliberation he chose the latter and made a landing in the huge cliff-rimmed cup. The plucky pilot then set his radio outfit in operation and after many hours of waiting, rescue planes arrived carrying the necessary spark plugs. Adverse air currents within the great "moon hole" prohibited the descent of the rescues, and so the plugs were attached to parachutes and dropped. The lost pilot placed the plugs, started his engine and made a perilous take-off over the lake surface. NOTICE ANT. MARY RUSS DEFEND- ANT. To Mary RUSS, non resident defendant.
