SAVING HABIT BECOMES A FASCINATION. That the habit of saving money is one of the most, if not the most, important of all human habits is the bold assertion of the editor of the Burlington (N. J.) Enterprise. He says that it is easy to start and that it soon becomes a fascination to the saver; it protects the home of the individual; it benefits the community and business; it helps make character; it gives a growing contentment to life; it builds respectability; it elevates and solidifies tamilles; it makes for power and progress. Nt lesson, particularly at the moment when the resources of the world are largely impoverished, is more important to learn than the lesson of saving; saving not only money itself, but saving the various commodities which we use from day to day. It is often impossible for individuals or families to save steadily and all the time. Frequently people run into bad luck—loss of work, illness—which makes money saving impossible. But every normal man and woman does have the chance with reasonable regularity to lay by money for the future, and he who doesn't do it is foolish. He will pay for the neglect in bitterness of spirit a hundred times before he dies. Men and women who invest their savings in Treasury Savings Certificates or deposit their money in Postal Savings are looking to the future. In case of emergency, Treasury Certificates can be converted into cash substantially on demand. Postal Savings under the more liberal plans now being worked out by the Postmaster General, may be withdrawn without advance notice. Mrs. Bertie Truehart and daughter, Audrey, have returned from a two weeks' visit with relatives and friends at Atchison and Kansas City. CONGRESSMAN WANTS COLORED FOLKS DENIED RIGHTS Louisiana Senator Protests Against Permitting Americans of Color to Eat in House Restaurant. OPPOSES PREVAILING POLICY Washington, D. C., Jan. 5.—Protest against the practice of permitting Colored people to patronize the House of Representatives restaurant in the Capitol was made last week by Representative Aswell (Democrat) of Louisiana. The place is a government institution located in the Capitol. In a letter to Chairman Ireland (Republican) of Illinois, and Democratic members of the committee which is in charge of the restaurant management, Mr. Aswell stated four Colored people had been noticed eating in the restaurant during the past few days. He asked by whose authority they had been admitted and whether "this is to be the practice of your committee under the present administration." "Gentlemen of the tiouse," Aswell's letter continued, should have this information now so they may know whether to keep their families, their friends and themselves away." Aswell also asked assurance that hereafter the restaurant will be restricted to whites. Colored people here paid little attention to Aswell's letter. Any attempt on the part of the Republican administration to prevent their entering a Government institution supported out of their taxes will it is said, only forge another weapon to be used against the party in the next election. "HELL FIGHTERS" GUARD OF HONOR FOR MARSHAL FOCB New York.-The Fifteenth Regiment of New York, known as "Hell fighters" during the World War, under command of Colonel Little, was reviewed by Marshal Foch and served as a guard of honor prior to the Marshal's sailing for France. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REX JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. Editor BISHOP PARKS STANDS BY PASTOR ISAACS Trustee Board Resigns Because o Decision and New Trustees Are Elected Kansas City, Jan. 5.—Following a sermon to the congregation of Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church, Sunday of last week, Bishop H. B. Parks of this district announced that he had refused the request of the Trustee Board to remove their pastor, Rev. J. B. St. Felix Isaacs. Among the charges against Rev. Isaacs made by the Trustees were that he introduced the budget system of financing the church; refused to preach funerals on Sunday; received a salary of $300 a month, which they said was exorbitant, and that he motored East on Thanksgiving Day to attend the football game between Howard and Lincoln, the latter his alma mater. When Bishop Parks asked the congregation, "How many will support your pastor?" a majority stood up. He thereupon turned to Rev. Isaacs with the injunction to "Stay here until I send for you." Rev. Isaacs married in recent years Miss Esther Hill of Baltimore, Md. Following the Bishop's announcement the Trustee Board resigned as a body and a new Board was elected. Miss Alberta Brown, after a pleasant, two weeks' visit with her aunt, Mrs. O. Jones, left Monday for her home at Lawrence, Kans. 400,000 MIGRATED FROM SOUTHLAND DURING WORLD WAR Official Figures Issued by the United States Census Bureau Shows Number of Colored People Coming North. VIRGINIA IS HEAVIEST LOSER Contrary to Common Belief Report Shows Largest Numbers Did Not Leave Extreme South, But the RACE ASKED TO PROTEST DENIAL OF CIVIL RIGHTS Boston, Maas., Jan. 5—The National Equal Rights League asked eleven Colored citizens and their friends to act at once; take note of the race-hating Representative Aswell of Louisiana's audacious and impudent denied service in the Government because of color. The League asked that all write to Northern Congressmen, asking them that the restaurant in the House of Representatives building serve citizens regardless of race, in accord with the Constitution and the Summer Civil Rights Statute of Congress.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6th, 1922 WINS MEDAL FOR HEROIC RESCUE OF DROWNING COMRADE Albert Walcott Cheered by Admiral Beatty When at Risk of Own Life He Saves Longshoreman From Whirlpool of Death. New York, Jan. 5.—Albert Walcott of 131 West 133rd Street, New York City, is employed by T. Hagan & Sons, stevedores, 1120 Broadway. On November 30, just as the White Starliner Adriatic was about to sail with Admiral Beatty, Britain's naval idol, on board, a heaving line became entangled about the arm of Ernest Williams of 4 West 134th Street and he was dragged overboard. The propellers of the Adriatic had churned the slip into a veritable whirlpool and Williams, still entangled in the hand line, was being whirled abut the vortex. Time and again he was sucked under. "At once I saw the predicament of the man," recited the medalist to a reporter, "and without so much as dashing off my coat I plunged in after him. When I did that I had no thought of coming back again, as the water was equal to a boiling river and the white linemen ashore, instead of trying to save the man were only playing with him, until he would become exhausted and go under. Fortunately I had no difficulty in getting to him, and I was glad to be able to rescue him, as men of my race must learn in the face of danger and obstacles to undergo sacrifice for the salvation of our race." As Walcott untangled the line from Williams' body and swam to him and piloted him to a nearby log, a roar of cheers ran up from the spectators on board the Adriatic. Admiral Beatty was one of those who especially cheered him. Walcott, who hails from Barbados, was awarded a 14-carat gold medal by his employers, T. Hogan & Son, and will also receive the coveted award of the Carnegie Foundation. Walcott, who has been in America ten years, is married and is the father of a seven-year-old girl. HAYTIANS WANT THE UNITED STATES TO RECALL MARINES Statement Issued by Executive Committee of Haitian-San Domingo Independence Society Disproves Report. HAS DONE INCURABLE HARM Good Name of the United States Will Suffer in Critical Latin America, the Opinion Expressed. New York, Jan. 5.—Denouncing the preliminary report of the Senatorial investigating committee that recently returned from a visit to Haiti and San Domingo as a disgrace to the United States, the Haiti-San Domingo Independence Society has issued a statement asserting that the report of the commission has done irreovocable harm to the faith and good name of this country, especially in Latin America. The statement says in part: "Issued immediately following conference with Secretary Hughes, it justifies and makes part of American public policy the overthrow by force of arms of small and weak nations. It endorses the policy followed in Haiti of using violence to impose upon a free people a treaty which they never would have accepted of their own free will, which, in far milder form, the Republic of Haiti—the second oldest in the Western Hemisphere—had repeatedly rejected. It countenances the farce of a dummy President held in place by American bayonets; executing at second hand the will of American military authorities." "The United States should withdraw the marines from Haiti and restore Haitian independence at once," concludes the society statement. Moorfield Storey (white) is chairman of the Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society; James Weldon Johnson, vice chairman. TUSKEGGE RECITES BEQUEST FRO MCOLOED FRIEND Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 5.—Principal Moton announced recently that he had received notice that the late Mrs. Betty Williams of Flemington, New Jersey, died recently, leaving a will which provided for Tuskegee Institute to receive from her estate approximately $2,500. During her lifetime Mrs. Williams was an admirer of the late Bocker T. Washington and on several occasions had given evidence of her interest in the work of Tuskegee. WHAT EDITORS SAY COL. HENRY WATTERSON. The nation has lost one of its greatest men in the passing of Col. Henry Watterson, former editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. He had one of the best hearts that ever beat in human breast. He was a true friend to all men, regardless of race, creed or color. Yes, he was a Southern white man, ex-Confederate soldier and a Democrat—yet he was a Christian gentleman and belonged to that type of loyal Southern whites who want to see the Negro rise and offer all encouragement needed for the progress of this down-trodden race. Henry Watterson upon many occasions made an open fight for the opportunities of our race through the Louisville Courier-Journal and from the platform. The Negroes who knew him best and have followed up his remarkable life will always cherish his memory and thank God because he lived. Mrs. H. R. Roberts has returned from a pleasant visit to Lincoln, where she was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jenquenz, friends of many years' standing. 76 MOB MURDERS PREVENTED BY LAW OFFICERS IN YEAR Determined and Prompt Action by Authorities in Several Southern States Radically Reduces Toll of Victims. 63 PERSONS WERE LYNCHED Sixty-Two Victims in the Southland, Fifty-Nine Colored Americans, Two Women Being Among Number Put to Death.

Covington of Louisiana, Mo., was recently appointed Matron of the Industrial Home at Tipton, by Governor Arthur M. Hyde. She succeeds Mrs. Dollie Stevens of Hannibal, who was appointed by former Governor Frederick Gardner. Mrs. Covington is the wife of Charles Covington, who is well known in political circles of the state. Mr. Covington will be an able assistant to his wife in her work of "mothering" those unfortunate girls. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M, E. CHURCH 5233 South 25th St. O. J. Burkhardt, Pastor. There was a real enthusiastic New Year's service Sunday, lasting until nearly 2 o'clock in the afternoon, in which there was a genuine manifestation of God's blessing. We are expecting great services again Sunday at which time our revival services under the direction of the Rev. J. T. Brown, who was detained by his daughter's death, will begin. Saving of money by workers has proved the salvation of thousands of families whose breadwinners have been thrown out of work because of the curtailment in productions and the world-wide depression that has prevented millions of willing hands from performing the duties which are imposed upon the heads of families. Those who are employed today should take this lesson to heart and invest a certain part of their income in Treasury Savings Certificates, or start a Postal Savings account. Mrs. L. E. Britt and little daughter, Mary Ellen, who were quite ill for several days at the home of Mrs. M. E. Overall, Mrs. Britt's mother, have recovered and returned to their home 2519 Maple street. HOUSE COMMITTEE IN FAVOR OF POSTAL SAVINGS CHANGES Plans Suggested by Postmaster General Hays For Amending Law is Approved, With Recommendations, For Passage of Washington, D. C., Jan. 5.—Officials of Postal Savings are very much gratified over the action of the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads of the House of Representatives reporting out of the committee on November 22, 1921, the bill to amend the laws relating to Postal Savings and recommended that the bill be passed. This bill was originally introduced in the House of Representatives at the request of Postmaster General Hays, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Postal Savings. It makes provision for changes in some of the more important and principal features of Postal Savings. The desire of the Postmaster General and the Board of Trustees is that depositors in Postal Savings be afforded every practical convenience to deposit their money with the Government for safe-keeping and that the Government in return pay those depositors as high a rate of interest as is practicable without competing with and injuring legitimate and sound banking institutions. The bill makes the following changes in the existing law: 1. Abolishes the minimum age limit of 10 years and authorizes joint and trust accounts. A joint account is where the deposit is carried in the name of two persons and in the event of the disability or death of one the other person may withdraw the deposit. Trust account will embody accounts where money is deposited by one person in trust for another, such of $2,500 as in the present law. 2. The bill as reported out of the House Committee proposes to limit the amount allowed as a balance to the credit of any person at $5,000 instead of $2,500 as in the present law. 3. Rate of interest to be paid depositors is increased in this bill from 2 to 3 per cent per annum. Provision is also embodied in the bill so that interest will be paid on funds on deposit for periods less than one year. STEADILY GROWING THANKS ALL AROUND! Whole Number 339 PEONAGE CONDITION TO UNDERGO FEDERAL INVESTIGATION United States Commissioner Reports Conditions in Sections of Georgia Most Alarming and Urges SPECIFIC CASES ARE CITED Share Croppers Who Allege They Are Victims of Landlords' Cruelty Report to Commissioner's Augusta, Ga., Jan. 5—United States Commissioner C. J. Skinner, Jr., announced Tuesday that peonage conditions in Richmond and other counties in the federal district are "most alarming" and that he will recommend a federal investigation. Two complainants, share-croppers on Richmond county farms, visited the commissioner's office recently and told stories of cruel treatment inflicted by their respective landlords. The share-croppers told the commissioner that the landlords abused them for the reason that they had endeavored to escape punishment by running away, taking a portion of their produce and farm utensils with them. The commissioner is withholding the names of the complainants for the present. One of the complainants was in such physical pain that he could barely stand, alleging that his condition was due to treatment at the hands of his landlord. The commissioner declared that a prominent Augusta woman, whose name he would not divulge, came to his office and related details of the manner in which a share-cropper with a large family of children had sought refuge from his landlord at her home. She told of beatings the landlord had inflicted upon the crop-holder and his family. "The cases of these two men are the most aggravated that ever have been brought to my attention," the commissioner stated, adding that the situation is "indeed alarming in this end adjoining counties." The commissioner gave assurance that some action would be taken against the two landlords at once and that other cases in this territory would be rigidly investigated. WELLS, BRITISH WRITER EXPRESSES HIMSELF ON "STIFLED AFRICA" Has Deep Interest in and Sympathy for Colored People of New York City.—H. G. Wells, the noted British novelist, now attending the armament conference in Washington, has written a lengthy paper under copyright, entitled "Stifled Africa," in which he declares the voice of the black peoples throughout the world has been stifled and says that no lasting association of nations ever will exist until that question is properly handled. Among other things he says: "In a previous paper I wrote of certain 'stifled voices' at Washington. There is yet another stifled voice here that I have heard, and to speak of it opens up another great group of questions that stands in the way of any effectual organization of world peace through an association of nations. Until we get some provisional decision about this set of issues the association of nations remains a project in the air. This stifled voice of which I am now writing is the voice of the Colored people. As a novelist—a novelist in my spare time—and as a man very curious by nature about human reactions, the peculiar situations created by 'color' in America have always appealed to me. I do not understand why American fiction does not treat of them more frequently. It is the educated, highly intelligent Colored people who get my interest and sympathy. I can not get up any race feeling about them." EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON This congregation, going on in a quiet and unobtrusive way, has had one of the most successful years in its history. The annual parish meeting will be held next week, for the receiving of reports and the election of officers and delegates to the annual diocesan council.

THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS A RIGHT start in all things is of the first importance. We have one or two practical suggestions to make to our readers at the outset of this year. Many of them, we are glad to say, will not need these suggestions. Others will. Probably the majority will. Our first suggestion is this: that we start right away with a systematic plan of saving at least a small amount of our earnings every week. It may be only a dime a week, but that will be a start and the habit will grow. Savings banks will furnish little banks in which you can save your pennies and dimes and then deposit them in the bank. The United States Postal Savings Banks will accept deposits as low as a dime. Start this year with a savings account. Save something systematically. Building and Loan Associations, banks, the United States Treasury Department and other agencies offer excellent opportunities to you to save money and receive interest on your savings. If you have not already done so, start a savings account now. We are all extravagant spenders, let us become judicious savers. Let us strive to improve our financial condition by saving our money. This is the first suggestion. Our other suggestion is that we take advantage of the many opportunities which offer themselves to improve ourselves intellectually, by a systematic course of reading good books or taking some course of study. Save and study is a good slogan for the year. But whatever else you may or may not do, start saving now. GROWING BUSINESS ABILITY. IN the review of racial conditions prepared by the Associated Negro Press, one of the outstanding features is the progress shown by our people along industrial and commercial lines. This is a significant and encouraging fact. Hitherto our people have been very timid about entering the business world. We have been afraid to venture, and if some business enterprise inadequately financed, and therefore for this reason, as much as any other, unable to meet competition, failed, we have lost heart, and become too easily discouraged, instead of trying again. The last few years however, have shown that we are become more and more determined to succeed in the business world. Failures of course there will be from various causes, but the successes will be more in number than the failures and by degrees we will take our rightful place in the business and commercial world. We are headed in the right direction and slowly making progress. We must REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF The Merchants National Bank OF OMAHA, NEB. At the Close of Business December 31, 1921.

That our group in every large center is venturing more and more into the business and commercial world is a most hopeful sign. It means growth and development in business acumen and ability. SUPPORT THE DYER BILL THE MONSTER respectfully urges the Nebraska congressional delegation to vote for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. It is a measure aimed at the suppression of lynching which all right-thinking Americans must deplore. It is just as essential in the light of past experience that we have a federal law to combat this evil as it is to have a federal law to enforce prohibition or to protect women in the exercise of the franchise. This is no more an invasion of states rights than other national laws now upon the statute books. The Dyer Bill should be passed and we expect to see the entire Nebraska delegation supporting it. THE PACKING HOUSE STRIKE OUR sympathy is wholly with the packing house employees who are resisting a reduction in wages. The poverty talk by the packers is all bunk. The workers are entitled to living wages and this they are not getting. We hope the strikers will win. And because we want to see them win we want to see them refrain from acts of violence which will alienate public sympathy. Working men are in sad traits at this time. Many without employment for many months and facing starvation have eagerly seized the chance to work, even though it may work a hardship for the strikers. They become strike-breakers not from choice but from necessity. The general non-employment makes this strike untimely. It seems to have been adroitly forced which complicates the situation. FOR OR AGAINST THE KLAN THAT noforious movie, "The Birth of a Nation," one of the most insidious and dangerous agencies of anti-Negro propaganda issuing from the. Ku Klux Klan is scheduled to show in Omaha at a local theatre. Its production has been barred from several states and cities. There is an ordinance under which its appearance in this city can be forbidden by the authorities. We respectfully call upon Mayor Dahlman and the city administration to forbid the showing of this FIRST IN SERVICE predice-breeding movie in Omaha. They have the authority to do it. The question is, will they use that authority? The picture glorifies the hooded, night-riding murdering Ku Klux Klan which was suppressed by congressional authority in the reconstruction days for its deeds of violence and blood-shed. It has a sinister motive back of it, which in these feverish days may lead to serious consequences. The Monitor places this matter fairly and squarely before the city administration and leaves it up to it with this question: Are you for the Ku Klux Klan or Against It? . This picture is Kluxie propaganda, pure and simple. The Monitor awaits an answer. BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Peace in Friendship Village." Recently I wrote of "The Brimming Cup" and of Dorothy Canfield's deep sympathy with the Negro. Since then I have run across a volume of short stories and find that Zona Gale, another of our most popular novelists, has struck almost the same note. Zona Gale is one of America's best known story writers. "Miss Lula Bett," her latest novel, had a phenomenal success both as novel and play. Perhaps she is best known, however, by her series of stories centering about "Friendship Village." "Friendship Village" is no "Main Street," but describes a kindly pleasant community with Caliope (what a name for an elderly spinister), the most friendly of its inhabitants, occupying a central place. And it is in the volume entitled "Peace in Friendship Village," where we learn of what the village folk did after the war for their foreign population—for the Greek, the Pole, the Slav, that, tucked in the middle of the book, we have a story entitled "Dream" that sounds a startling note on the Negro question. It begins with Calliope's visiting her friend, Mis' Sykes, and both of them noticing that the Old Moxon House has been rented. They must be pretty fine people, they argue, to be able to pay the rent of twenty dollars. They watch and see the goods arrive in a van—a piano, comfortably-looking furniture. It is then that Mis' Sykes declares "Whoever it is will be a distinct addition to Friendship Village society." They learn that their new neighbor's name is Burton Fernandis, a most aristocratic appellation, and Mis' Sykes decides that as the newcomers are moving in on Friday they will get up a surprise party for Saturday night. When Calliope suggests that Mis' Sykes is perhaps too sure regarding the newcomers, Mis' Sykes declares, "Folksks" individualism is expressed in folkses' furniture. You can't tell me that, with those belongings, we can go wrong in our judgment. "Well," Calliope says, "I can't go wrong because I cann't think of anything that would make me give them the cold shoulder. That's another comfort about being friends to everybody—you don't have to decide which one you want to know." "You're so WATERS BARNHART PRINTING CO.

"You miss all the satisfaction of being exclusive; and you can't afford not to be." "Mebbe not," Callope says; "mebbe not, but I am willing to try it; hang the expense!" On the day the newcomers arrive Caliope finds that her hyacinth bulbs need repotting, and she carries a pot to the new neighbor. She is ushered into a beautiful room filled with books and pictures and meets her hostess, a lovely lady. This is Caliope's description of her: "I gave her the flower and I don't believe I looked surprised any more than when I first saw the picture of the disciples, that the artists had painted their skins dark, like it must have been. Mrs. Fernadis was dark, too, but her people had not come from Asia, but from Africa." Caliope sits down to chat and learns of the daughter, who is at Chicago University, and of the son, who is returning from France where he has received the Cross of War. With this story she faces Mis' Sykes and wants to know her decision regarding the surprise party. But I won't tell more of the story. You must read it yourself to learn how it turns out. I wondered, as I read it, what the reaction has been on the part of Miss Gale's many admirers who have read this exquisite "Dream." BIND, READS WITH TONGUE. Braille characters are, of course, read with the fingers, but one armless blind man has been taught to read with his tongue. Somewhat Hard on Humanity. Every man's experience of today is that he was a fool yesterday and the day before yesterday. Tomorrow he will most likely be of exactly the same opinion.—Mackay. Grenada, Miss.—The tax supervisors of Grenada county have reduced, the assessment on W. W. Whitaker's mule from $50 to $20, the value originally placed on the animal by its owner, after having raised the assessment to the larger figure. In a letter to the supervisors Mr. Whitaker states: "In valuing this mule to the assessor at $20 I was extremely liberal with the county. It would have seemed too ridiculous to have placed him at his real value, which, at the time of falling values, could not have exceeded $10. "I hereby make this proposition to any member of the board, to any other citizen of the county or state: Give me $20 and take the mule, and may the good Lord be with you until we meet beyond the river." "For inherent wickedness of heart and meanness of disposition this mule, in comparison, makes the devil a smiling cherub; for a disinclination to dissipate useful energy this beast makes the grasshopper a model of industry." Mushroom Grows Under Snow. Mountain mushrooms are said by the French Academy of Sciences to be "the world's crowning gastronomic delight."

At this place the river flowed be- tween steep, rocky banks, 22 feet across from side to side, The scout was trapped, There was no other place for miles up and down the river where he could ford it. The Indians were closing in on him and his only chance of escape was to try to leap across the chastne Brady could hear the savages yell- tng in the woods only a short distance away as be rin back toward them to get a good start. ‘Then turning, he sped for the brink and putting all his failing strength Into a fine! spurt, he sprang for the opposite cliff, Hix Jump was a little short and he struck the bank a few feet below the edge. ‘The Indians stopped tn amazement, then as the scout scrambled up over the edge, they opened fire, ‘They wounded him in the leg, delay- ing his fight, and in a short thme were on his heels again, He came toa lnke and plunged in, Stooping beneath the broad pads of a water lily, he breathed through a hollow reed while the sav- ages hunted In vain on the shores of the lake, ‘They found his bloody trail to the water's edge and, belleving that he had drowned rather than be cap- tured again, Rave up the chase, Soon afterward Brady reached Fort Pitt in safety.

One Big Landed Proprietor After Another is Dividing and Selling His Holdings—In Same Families for Many Centuries. London.—England's great estates are crumbling under the weight of taxation and death duties and one big landed proprietor after another among the nobility is dividing and selling his holdings, many of which have been in the hands of single families for centuries. The latest indication that peers are finding it necessary to seek smaller homes comes in the announcement of the duke of Portland that he may have to abandon his palatial mansion, Welche Abbey, in Nottinghamshire. This is only one of the residences of the duke, who owns some 200,000 acres in England. Duke Expresses Fears. "For centuries past landed estates have been handed down from generation to generation," said the duke, addressing his tenants on the occasion of the coming of age of his son Lord Francis Cavendish. "Landlords and tenants have lived on lives of mutual trust and affection. I fear, however, that the state of things is passing away, for with the present weight of taxation and the extremely onerous death duties, the future may become very uncertain for all landed proprietors. If this is good for the country, I certainly do not complain. "With regard to my own case, it may not be possible for me and my family to continue to reside at Welbeck, but I fear that there can be little doubt that those who come after me will not be able to do so." Many Connections Severed. On all sides historic houses are finding new tenants and ancient families are severing their connection with the soil. The duke of Devonshire sold Devonshire house in 1919 and Stove house, the property of Baroness Khloss, was disposed of recently. Others who have sold their properties recently include the duke of Bedford, the duke of Westminster, the duke of Rutland, the duke of Graffon, the duke of Mariborough. Lord Leconfield, Lord Beauchamp, Earl Bradford, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Lovat, Lord Harrington, Lord Harlech, the countess of Warwick and Sir Richard Bulkeley. Runnymede, a meadow on the banks of the Thames river. In Surrey, site of the historic battle where the barons wrested from King John the Magna Charta in 1215, was up for sale but aroused sentiment compelled its withdrawal. Attacking the government in the debate on the corn production acts repeal bill, Lord Lincolnshire in the house of lords declared the present ministry was preparing to sell the crown lands and said nothing remained but "to pawn the crown jewels." THE MEMORIAL OF THE MILITARY CEMETERY IN MADRID, CALIFORNIA Perhaps the highest keynote of Memorial day, either in this country or abroad, was struck at Suresnes, the high hill under the guns of Mt. Valerien, overlooking the city of Paris, to which President Wilson went last Memorial day to pay his homage to the several thousand American dead buried there. The first American monument abroad authorized by the War department was set up at Suresnes, France, last year, and unveiled as a part of the Memorial day observance. The statue, then a plaster cast of heroic size, is the copy and conception of the typical American infantryman by Joe Davidson, the American sculptor. As finally done in granite it will be given by Mrs. Willard D. Straight "for sentimental duty at Suresnes." Our photograph was taken during the Memorial day exercises engaged in by French and Americans last year German Schools Find Teaching of Medicine by Movies Excels Former Methods. Berlin.—An invention by which detailed, enlarged moving pictures of intricate surgical operations are taken without interfering with the operating physicians and without the presence of a camera operator has been perfected by Dr. A. Rothe of Berlin, and now is being used in a number of German medical universities, for the benefit of students. It is claimed that the students obtain better instruction from a study of the movie picture of the operation than from witnessing the operation itself. The "operation camera" is designed to hang directly above the operating physician's hands. The cinematographical lamps are in a room above, separated from the operating room by a glass roof. After the machine has been placed in position an operating physician or a nurse can start it by pressing an electrical foot device, which is all the attention necessary on the part of the doctor or the attendants. in the Printing business and can save you money.

WANT WILD HORSES KILLED Settlers in State of Washington Offer "Sport" to Those Who Are Inclined to It. Youths who like adventure and heaps of excitement are advised to try hunting wild horses in the Okanogan hills near the Canadian border of Washington. There are several thousand untamable cayuses in this unsurveyed region of steep hills and deep valleys, against which settlers on agricultural land have begun a war of extermination. The wild steeds are troublesome, demolishing fences to eat and trample haystacks. The snailions entice away domesticated mares, and often large herds of horses chase cows and sheep to death. Once domesticated horses are mingled with these wild ones they quickly become outlaws. Before the present plan of shooting was adopted by ranchers, they tried corraling and shipping the captured needs to Eastern horse markets. The expense and danger of catching alive was found above possible profits. These wild broncos are vicious, and often, rather than submit to capture, dash their brains out by running pell-mell into rocky ledges. One expedition during a month of wild horse stalking shot 120 animals. Only the skins were taken. Some of the wild stallions proved to be excellent specimens, one brown and sorrel estimated at 1,200 pounds weight. The mares seldom average more than 800 pounds. Where these horses range is a faulty, bad land region between the Cascade and Rocky mountains; a natural grass country, arid in summer, but the winters are mild, with light snowfall. NEW NATIONAL PARK WONDER Red Snow With Taste of Watermelons Arouses Curiosity of Travelers in Rocky Mountain Park. Washington,—Add blood-red snow, with the taste of watermelons, to the wonders of America's national parks, Out in the Rocky Mountain park in Colorado, on the continental divide that rises nearly 12,000 feet above sea level, tourists have seen the colored snow and have asked why they see red. The rays of the setting sun reflect on the snow at about twilight has been blamed by those who traveled toward the close of the day, but in full daylight the redness of the snow does not disappear. Countless billions of tiny organisms, that move and grow and reproduce in the cold environment, are responsible, government experts have found. Protococcus nivalis is the name of this microscopic bolshevik, who has the characteristics of both the plant and animal kingdoms. The coloration of the snow is more intensive a quarter of an inch below the surface, and the streaks that are often red as blood have a sweetish taste when placed on the tongue. This strange snow colorer is believed to have come from the arctic regions, where it has been found in the past. Scientists believe that its spores may have been brought down from the North by the Chinook winds. For Rent—Housekeeping rooms, modern, 35.
