Aged Negro Chef Is a Multi-Millionaire Why Southerners Gives Reasons For Negroes Moving Into the North ```markdown ``` LIFTING LIFT TOO State Historical Soc. Year—5 Cents a Copy Aged N Why Southern Reasons For Moving New York, Feb. 24—With a plea to the white south to "Let's stop being stupid!" Howard Snyder, a white resident of Mississippi, writing in the number of Plain Talk (225 Varick street, New York City), tells why the Negro is leaving the south and distributing himself over the nation. First, Mr. Snyder cites the one-crop system of cotton raising with its exhaustion of the soil, the poverty and indebtedness of tenants who are not recognized as part of the community and are constantly tempted to move about in the effort to better themselves. Mr. Snyder continues: "Add to all this the lynchings, mistreatment of many Negroes, and considering the fact the field Negro of the south is a primitive creature desperately afraid of the dreaded Ku Klux, we have another for the vast migration of Negroes from the sunny south. Almost any day we read of some benighted Negro peasant being hunted down or shot by a posse. That the south could expect these same benighted people to remain with her and uncomplainingly endure all this when a twenty-dollar bill will carry a man away from it passes my understanding." Mr. Snyder points out that even in the south it is now becoming understood that the race problem is not merely local. He writes: NEGRO FARMERS ARE PLENTIFUL IN THE SUNNY SOUTHLAND Work 831,455 Farms, of Which More Than 23 Per Cent, or 194,540, Are Owned By Members of Race Washington, D. C.—In the sixteen southern states 194,540, or slightly in excess of 23 per cent of the 831., 455 farms, are owned by colored farmers. Although West Virginia has the least number of this class of farmers, 75 per cent of them are owners. The state of Virginia, with a 66 per cent Negro farm ownership, leads all states in number of farms owned by members of our group, while Mississippi, with the greatest number of colored farm operators, has the lowest percentage of ownership. In the actual number of farms owned the ten leading states are, in the order named, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee. Among the colored farmers there are more "croppers" in Mississippi than in any other state. Texas leads in this respect among white farm tenants. Throughout the south as a whole, 41 per cent of the colored and 12 per cent of the white farmers are "croppers." There are more white than colored "croppers" in Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. EDHOLM AND SHERMAN EMPLOY COLORED HELP Edholm and Sherman, formerly the Standard Laundry, at Twenty-fourth and Willis avenue, and having a relatively large patronage from our people, have begun the fair and just policy of giving employment to colored people as laundry hands. This policy was inaugurated last week. This kind of reciprocity will be appreciated by our group, as there is rapidly developing a just feeling among us that firms desiring our patronage should be fair enought to give us employment. This fair and square policy adopted by Edholm and Sherman will have to be followed by other firms who expect our patronage. The Woman's Auxiliary held a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting at the residence of Mrs. Otis Shipman, 2724 North Thirtieth street, Thursday afternoon. THE MONITOR "With the Negro press everywhere increasing its circulation, and such far-reaching organizations as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People working through its local organizations in every community to uphold the rights of the Negro and demand that justice be given him and urge that Negro children everywhere attend elementary schools, the race problem is by no means confined to the south." The south has made a "gross blunder," continues Mr. Snyder, in trying to "keep the nigger down" and in depriving Negroes of good schools. He reports that the south is "both amazed and desperately worried" over the departure of its best labor supply and that many white men are being forced into the ranks of common labor. As for the south's trying to persuade itself that the Negroes who had lived in bondage and debt slavery would come back like the prodigal son of old, "the facts are that they aren't doing it and they won't." The south, in Mr. Snyder's belief, will have to meet northern attraction to the Negro by giving him schools, good wages, justice, "and all those many and complex things that go to make up life in civilized America." $9,300 GIFT FOR NEGRO RESEARCH WORK Scientific Body's Donation Is An nounced at Columbia University For Study of Negro Migra tion From the South New York, N. Y.—A gift of $9,300 from the Social Science Research Council for research in Negro migration was announced Tuesday by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, after a meeting of the board of trustees. The council's gift will be used to obtain data and study the conditions and results attending the influx of southern Negroes to the north. It will be the first time that a definite scientific study has been made of Negro migration. TAMMANY AFRAID TO HAVE NEGRO DELEGATES New York, N. Y.—Fearing that the presence of a Negro delegate from New York at the democratic national convention in Houston, Tex., next July might harm the chances of Governor Al Smith in the south, has caused the Tammany chieftains to decide against the 1924 policy of Negro delegates. It is said that the decision was made on the advice of southern democratic leaders friendly to the candidacy of Governor Smith. It is said that northern democrats generally are not favorable to the idea, as they have been working like Trojans for a heavy Negro vote, especially in Harlem, in the past years. They pointed out that the republicans have already decided to select a Negro delegate from the Twenty-first district of New York, and also a Negro alternate. New York democrats claim that this change of front will seriously hurt the party's future and declare it is an unwise move politically. REFUSE TO BE JIM CROWED Minneapolis, Minn.—When colored meat cutters at one of the largest meat packing plants at Newport, a suburb, were told that they would have separate dressing rooms from white workers, they walked out. The men were earning 72 cents an hour and working six eight-hour days to the week, but they refused to stay on the job and be jim crowed.

Exciting of the political prestige only by electing representatives to the personal spleen or grudge of any man may be, is too big a price to pay to believe that either Dr. Barnett of education and intelligence, the situation in its true light, will need as assassins of their race's present campaign, but will honorably fill in their power to retain the eld and gain others, and by so doing st political ambitions they may have race candidate in each of these days. Lighting chance to win but with this is an absolute certainty. Let us not be children, but men. Let Why should any Negro who lays any claim to intelligence permit himself to be used to cut some other Negro's throat and by so doing cut his own throat at the same time? And yet this is precisely what has frequently happened in almost every community where members of the race have aspired for advancement, industrially, educationally or politically. This has happened in this community in former years and the same suicidal insanity threatens us now. After a lapse of more than thirty years, two years ago our racial group had the privilege, honor and inspiration of again seeing representatives of their blood and color serving in the state legislature. Some thirty odd years before the Hon. M. O. Ricketts, whom Richard L. Metcalfe, then a keen observant and discriminating reporter and writer for The World-Herald, and who, by the way, has just been drafted by friends and admirers to run for nomination as United States senator on the democratic ticket, characterized as one of the brightest members of the House, ably represented his district and, incidentally, his race, for two sessions. Then, due chiefly to our racial cut-throat policy and crustacean propensity, none of our own race was elected for more than three decades. Two years ago, however, having learned, as we then believed and still believe, wisdom from the past, the race united in this community and helped send not only one but two representatives from this city to the legislature, Dr. John A. Singleton from the Ninth and F. L. Barnett from the Tenth District. The virtually solid vote of our own people for these two candidates in their respective districts with the support given them by white electors in these districts was what turned the trick. It was an achievement of which all could be proud, demonstrated the power, wisdom and wonderful possibilities of united and intelligent action, enheartened our people in other places and designated Nebraska as liberal-minded and a progressive state. Both Singleton and Barnett made good in the state legislature, winning the respect of their colleagues. Now early in this year Singleton and Barnett filed again from their respective districts, and each had an excellent chance of nomination at the April primaries, and of course of election in the fall, until Wednesday, when at the last hour for filing, Dr. Aaron A. McMillan was induced to file in the Ninth and Charles R. Trimble in the Tenth District, which means, if these two eleventh hour candidates remain in the running, nothing else but cutting the throats, politically, of not only Singleton and Barnett, but also of McMillan and Trimble. McMillan and Trimble are simply being used to cut the throats of Singleton and Barnett and their own throats, to satisfy the personal spleen of a certain young gentleman obsessed with the ambition to be the political dictator for the Negro citizens of Omaha, which he can never be, while holding his present position. This fact should be well understood by him and his backers, who ever they may be. The sacrificing of the political prestige our people have recently gained by electing representatives to the legislature to satisfy the personal spleen or grudge of any individual, no matter who he may be, is too big a price to pay. We are reluctant to believe that either Dr. McMillan, who is a young man of education and intelligence, or Mr. Trimble, after they see the situation in its true light, will allow themselves to be used as assassins of their race's political opportunities in the present campaign, but will honorably and manfully withdraw, do all in their power to retain the elective positions we now hold and gain others, and by so doing strengthen themselves for any political ambitions they may have for themselves in the future. With one race candidate in each of these districts we have an excellent fighting chance to win but with two defeat for both candidates is an absolute certainty. Let us not be fools, but wise; let us not be children, but men. Let us not cut our own throats. HARLEMITE CHOSEN DELEGATE TO G. O. P. NATIONAL CONVENTION New York.-The Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, pastor of the First Emanuel Independent Church of Harlem, was selected Saturday as the organization candidate for delegate to the republican national convention from the Twenty-first congressional district. The selection was made by the republican leaders of the assembly districts comprising the congressional district. Mr. Bolden was chosen as a representative Negro, the district having most of Manhattan's Race population. The selection of Mr. Bolden is expected to work to the political advantage of the republican party in Harlem, as it is understood that the democrats of the district do not intend to send Race delegates to the democratic national convention at Houston, Tex. PASSES ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Richmond, Va.—Virginia appears to be destined to take the lead among southern states in efforts to abolish mob rule and lynching. This was attested Saturday when Governor Harry Byrd's "anti-lynching" bill was passed by the senate. It is the general belief that the measure will also receive the support of the house. The senate passed the bill by a vote of 30 to 0. --- no lays any claim to intelligence, cut some other Negro's throat boat at the same time? And yet recently happened in almost every race the race have aspired for additionally or politically. This has formed years and the same suit. thirty years, two years ago our honor and inspiration of again blood and color serving in the odd years before the Hon. M. O.

It was an achieveur, demonstrated the power, abilities of united and intelligent in other places and designated a progressive state. made good in the state legislature colleagues. Barnett and Barnett filed again, and each had an excellent spring primaries, and of course of Tuesday, when at the last hour for was induced to file in the Ninth Tenth District, which means, if states remain in the running, noth-, politically, of not only Single-Millan and Trimble. McMillan issued to cut the throats of Single-throats, to satisfy the personal oleman obsessed with the ambior the Negro citizens of Omaha, holding his present position. This by him and his backers, who political prestige our people have representatives to the legislature to grudge of any individual, no big a price to pay. That either Dr. McMillan, who had intelligence, or Mr. Trimble, its true light, will allow them of their race's political opportunist will honorably and manfully to retain the elective positions and by so doing strengthen them they may have for themselves. Each of these districts we have to win but with two defeat for certainty. Let us not be fools, but men. Let us not cut our N. A. A. C. P. BRANCHES LAUNCH MEMBERSHIP DRIVE ON MARCH 15 New York, Feb. 24—Throughout the entire country, on March 15, the branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will simultaneously launch a drive for membership, results to be announced at the Los Angeles conference of the association, June 27 to July 3, it was announced recently. A number of the branches, as part of the drive, are holding popularity contests with a trip across the continent to Los Angeles as a first prize. In many cities a house-to-house canvass is to be made to acquaint residents with the work of the N. A. A. C. P., and ask them to join. And frequent meetings of local branch officers and membership committees are to be held. VIRGINIA COLOR BILL KILLED Richmond, Va.—The racial integrity bill, which passed the house recently after heated debate, was defeated by the senate. The bill classified as a Negro any person having any amount of Negro blood without reference to limit of time or number of generations. White objected to the bill because it was said it would result in the classification of many of those now classed as white as Negroes. Indians were also strongly opposed to the bill since it would class many of their mixed breed as Negroes. Vol. XIII—Number 35 FORGETS OIL WEALTH TO RETURN TO JOB AS RESTAURANT CHEF Oil Leases Netting Fortunes Daily Mean Little to George Coleman of Columbus, Miss., As He Opens Restaurant Columbus, Miss.—George Coleman, for 66 years chef for a South Carolina railroad, has become a multi-millionaire, and, at the age of 94, has opened a restaurant in Columbus to make good in the world. Coleman returned a few days ago from Oklahoma, where he owns 6,700 acres of valuable oil and coal lands. He inherited 17,000 acres of land from his Indian aunt, Vina Coleman. This tract contains two overflowing oil wells and a 15-foot seam of coal. The Oklahoma Iron and Fuel Company recently gave George a million dollar lease on the coal lands, with an annual royalty of $55,000. Three thousand acres are inherited from his father, Jesse Coleman, who obtained it on a government land grant in the early days of Oklahoma. This land has on it two overflowing wells, which produce 264,000 gallons of oil hourly. In 1926 Coleman sold a lease to the Gulf Refining Company of Louisiana, for $1,200,000, with an annual royalty of $85,000. He also has 1,900 acres of land that the government deeded to him in 1897. There are three oil wells and 15 feet of coal on this tract, which is leased for $45,000 annually. George first began cooking for a railroad in Greenwood, S. C., in 1862 and has been cooking ever since that time. While the Georgia Pacific railroad (now the Southern) was being built from Birmingham to Columbus, George was one of the chief cooks and is well known to veteran railroaders. George says that he signed his name "Coldman" instead of Coleman to all of his checks. Local bankers verify this statement. When asked if he did not have all the money that he wants, George replied: "Huh! I have to cook." He is now 94 years old and is lively as the average man of 60. Before locating in Millport, he resided at 2524 Avenue N, Birmingham, Ala. NEWSPAPER MEN WILL MEET AT LOUISVILLE, KY Nashville, Tenn.—An official call for the National Negro Press Association to convene in Louisville, Ky., on April 11 to 14, has been issued, signed by Benjamin J. Davis, president; J. E. Mitchell, chairman of the executive committee, and H. A. Boyd, the corresponding secretary. These facts have been communicated to I. Willis Cole, the recording secretary, who is the editor of the Louisville Leader, and who, with his associates publishers in the Kentucky metropolis, will be host to the newspaper group. One hundred and twenty-five Negro newspapers are affected by the call and the Louisville meeting is expected to be the largest from the standpoint of attendance in the history of the association, according to reports from the field secretary, Melvin J. Chisum, who is on his official itinerary. HEROIC PULLMAN PORTER IS HONORED Chicago, Ill.—The official charged with the duty of naming the Pullman cars when they are put into service has broadened the policy recently, instead of the peculiar combination of letters often seen, to names of persons and more familiar places as well as flowers and such objects are being resorted to. On one car bears the name of a brave Pullman porter who died in a wreck several years ago. He refused assistance until a little girl near him had been cared for, and when the first-aid workers returned to him he was dead. In his honor the Sirocco was re-christened the Daniels. Which is a great departure from old-time custom. One of the newest cars placed on the tracks is named "Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh." Whole Number 656 ionaire CONTRACT WOULD BAR NEGROES FROM SELECT DISTRICT Property War Looms in Windy City as Owners' Association Among Whites File Agreements of Restriction TWENTY-YEAR LIMIT IS SET Chicago, Ill.—A new property war between the races loomed here when the Woodlawn Property Owners' association last week filed with the county record a contract specifying that no land may be rented or purchased or leased by Negroes within certain boundaries. The Woodlawn organization, following closely in the footsteps of a similar group of white fanatics who operated under the name of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Protective associations, made known Saturday its intention toward Chicago's citizens. The pact filed by this latest group states that 24 square blocks bounded by South parkway, Cottage Grove avenue, Sixtieth and Sixty-third streets, should not be occupied by colored people for the next 20 years. While members of the group affected are leaving no stones unturned to get to the bottom of the whole movement they are openly expressing their contempt for the organization and its antics. They have memories of like attempts less than five years ago in which it was stated that Negroes would not be allowed east of Indiana and south of Fifty-first street. To carry out their program, the whites even resorted to bombings with the result that they defeated the very thing they set out to accomplish. One prominent banker and realtor, in discussing the situation, made the statement that within two years this prescribed district will have its full quota of representatives of any race that cares to occupy it. "We are not afraid of such contracts as these," he said. "We have met them before and dealt with them as they deserved. We will do the same to this and any other group that attempts to segregate in Chicago by illegal covenants." One significant factor about the filing of the contract was that it happened almost simultaneously with the interchange of pulpits. While ministers of both races were attempting to soften the feeling in Chicago through an exchange of ideas and a desire to be just to each other, these white realtors were working hard to undo anything of the good that they might have accomplished. GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOLS FORM ATLETCY ASSOCIATION Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 25—Coaches and representatives of the high school entered in the Morehouse basketball tournament met here today at the suggestion of Coach B.

Though these meetings are always announced in our papers time after time, still the time-worn complaint is heard, “I didn’t know you were meeting,” or “I didn’t know where the meeting was.” This, too, in the face of the fact that for more than three years the association has held the above stated meetings. The question naturally arises, “Is the Negro of Omaha really concerned about the one organization in all the world that is fighting his “battles all over the world?” Let’s get out of this lethargy. Let’s make 1928 a banner year in Omaha for the N. A. A. C. P. The local branch has for its execu- tive committee a most excellent group of men. They have intelli- gence, experience and stamina.

Hamler called the school to order promptly at 9:30 a. m. and each teacher was in his place, and after the regular order of service was observed, the teachers took their places and the lesson from Mark 5: was taught. ‘Text—"Thy faith hath made thee whole.” _ You should see Mr. S. S. Whitelow ‘and his class, they think they stand lat the head of the school as they are the high school boys and girls. Mrs. Smith has one of the best set of boys in chureh and she feels proud of them. Mr. C. H. Wilson is one of our new teachers, he has one of the junior classes, and they have great respect for their teacher. Miss Bernice Abernathy teaches the beginners, she loves children. Mrs. Davis is one of the teachers but was sick and, oh, how we did miss her. The class seemed to be at a loss. Messrs. Nelson and Richie are also teachers that we feel proud of. No task seems to worry them. Mr. Pruett was late, but we forgive him. Now, I think we have one of the best Sunday schools in the west, we had 159 in school Sunday morning, and still growing. Mr. A. Hamler is one of the best superintendents in the state, and if you don’t believe this a visit to our school will convince you. Miss Beatrice Lewis, Reporter. Miss Lewis is authorized to receive subscriptions for The Monitor in Pleasant Green church.

JACKSON 1317 Ph hs Agents BRUNSWICK 6 22a"ReccPa: PAGE THREE PAGE FOUR Took Many Years to Included in the world's long list of human benefactors is the unknown man who first invented beds. The earliest beds — wicker bedsteads, formed of the midribs of palm leaves — are found figured in ancient Egyptian paintings. Ages ago the Egyptians either slept on their day couches, which were long and straight, sometimes possessing a back made of bronze, alabaster, gold, or ivory, and richly cushioned, or they reposed on low pallets made of palm boughs, with wooden pillows hollowed out for the head. A recent writer reminds us that the evolution of beds in England stretches over a period of 700 years. Throughout the Thirteenth century even kings beds consisted very largely of straw In later medieval times people all but sat up in their beds, so high at the upper end were the long mattresses lifted on piles of cushions. After the Twelfth century beds were occasionally made of bronze and other metals, but more often of wood carved and encrusted with ornament. Narrow, at first, they gradually increased in size until they reached a width of four yards. In such huge beds, we are told, "parents, children, and sometimes dogs, were wont to take their night's rest." History Set Down as All histories that are not mere compilations of dates, records and statistics are works of the imagination; for the testimony of eyewitnesses is extremely fallible, especially when an event is calamitous or dramatic; and the report that we have upon the nature of any person or thing is governed entirely by the temperament of the person who gives it. People with the irresponsible imaginations of children will tell you of events in which they participated and will seem to be lieve their fictions even when you know they are fibbling. Also it is the habit of n an to englamor his past and to exalt himself among his fellows whenever an occasion arises in which he can dramatize himself before an audience as the hero of an event, concerning the truth of which the audience can have no knowledge.—Burton Rascoe in the Bookman. Cat Mourns Bird Cats and birds, like dogs and cats are rarely friends, but when such friendships are made they are very real. Not long ago a black cat lost a jackdaw which had been its close companion for five years, and the bird's death seemed to make life not worth living for the cat. It refused to feed, and at last became so ill and weak that it was taken to the people's dispensary for sick animals at Bethnal Green. No wonder the cat was fretting over its loss, for the jackdaw had been idally playmate. The two had fed to gether and their friendly relations were so good that the jackdaw would often settle on the sleeping cat's back and both would doze in comfort.—Children's Newspaper, London. No Worry for Animals As far as we are aware, animals have no notion of time in the sense we have. The future means nothing to them, and for this they are much happier than we are. They live for the present moment only. They have no fears of what may happen to them in days to come—no fear, then, of death and no yearning after immortality. Neither do we suppose that they have any clear conception of the past, although undoubtedly they have unconscious memory. The formation of habits depends on this. But they don't consciously think over the hap py days of youth gone by, nor brood over the sorrows of old age.—H. Munro Fox in the Forum. Military Watches In early Hebrew history, about 3,000 years ago, it was the custom of the tribes, which then lived in camps which they moved from place to place, to set a watch against surprise attacks by roving bands of robbers from the north. They divided their nights into convenient watches of about four hours each. It appears that they adopted the custom from military practices then prevailing. Military custom calls for two-hour watches as being safer because there is less likelihood that the soldier on guard will become tired, sleepy or otherwise indifferent to the importance of his task. "Hi-Jacking" "Hi-jack" is a slang word meaning to rob by trickery or violence, especially to rob another robber or a bootleger of his illegal wares. Just when "hi-jack" and "hi-jacker" originated is unknown. It is supposed that "hi-jacker" was first applied to a gang of hobos who preyed on men working in the harvest fields of the Middle West. Their practice was, so it is said, to hall their prospective victims with "Hi, Jack, what time is it?" The salutation was followed by a blow on the head and the victim was then relieved of his hard-earned gold.—Path finder Magazine. Palestine To go to Palestine is a great stimulation to one's faith and belief in the great things which the little land gave to the rest of the world after having rejected them for itself.—American Magazine. Bread of Guetersloh Boosted by Bismarck Guetersloh was a town of some 1,500 inhabitants some years ago, when one day during the maneuvers a young lieutenant took up his quarters there. This lieutenant came from Pomerania, where they also make black bread of fine quality, but he liked the peculiar flavor of the West- phalia article. His name was Bismarck. In the year 1870 Bismarck was again traveling through Guetersloh, this time as chancellor. King William was with him, and when the train stopped the prime minister called out genially to the crowd that had come to meet them: "Is there anyone who can get us some nummernick with butter?" As a number of reporters were present when this query was made, the fortune of the Guetersloh black bread was made and it speedily became the fashion all over Germany. The craze for Westphalian pumpernickel spread far and wide, cunningly furthered by the bakers, who now baked for export only small one-pound loaves, for the purpose of making it look "more like a delicatessen." as they say. The bakers of Guetersloh were worldly wise, for from the same kneading troughs there go into the oven first the huge loaves (certain of these going to the farmhouses often weigh half a hundredweight) and then, shaped of what was left, the tiny loaves that are wrapped in paper and exported to all parts of the world to be sold as a delicatessen. Carillon Playing at Belgium is the classic land of bells. To the Belgians belongs the honor of having first felt and used bell tones as truly musical sounds, and, accordingly, they devised that colossal musical instrument and tower and beffy known as the carillon. The carillon is a set of from 15 to 50 or more bells, cast in sizes that sound each its own scale tone. This battery of bells is played from a keyboard placed in a room below the open or latticed belfy, by a carillon arm, as the French call him, Dr. Henry Eames, president of the Society of American Musicians, writes, in Child Life Magazine. The keyboard is not unlike an electric switchboard, with its handles replacing the keys on an ordinary piano keyboard, and another set of pedal keys, like that on a pipe organ, to be played upon by the player's feet. This carillon keyboard stands today practically the same as it did in the Sixteenth century, when the most famous of all bell-casting and carillon-playing families—the Van den Gheyns of Belgium—brought the art of beffy playing to its highest point. The Antwerp cathedral carillon has 65 bells. St. Rombold's singing tower in Matines has 44. Bruges 41. Ghent 39 and Louvain 40 High Aspirations Robert Louis Stevenson, while living at Skerrymore, had the idea of adopting a boy in whom he was interested, as his "body servant," and giving him such education as he could assimilate. Before doing so, relates R. L. S.'s great friend, dear little old Miss Adelaide Boodle, he put it to the boy point blank whether any other walk in life held for him more powerful attraction. The answer came without a moment's hesitation: "Please, sir, I wish I could be Mr Townsend's boy." Mr Townsend was the local fish monger. Arbor Day Tree-planting festivals are probably as old as civilization. Sacred trees and groves, planted avenues and road sides, shaded academic walks and memorial trees were common long before American was discovered. Arbor day, as such, however, is purely American in origin and grew out of conditions peculiar to the great plains of the West, a country practically treeless over much of its area, but supporting a flourishing agriculture and with a soil and climate well able to nourish tree growth. Arbor day originated and was first observed in Nebraska in 1872. Waking Dreams "Asleep" and "awake" are relative terms. All persons do not sleep with equal soundness. Frequently one will dream most when he is merely dozing. He may then be partly conscious of what is taking place around him. A person wide awake does not dream in the strict sense of the word. In "day-dreaming" the term is used in another sense; namely, a reverie or idle exercise of the fancy. Alligator Market Alligators, measuring from two feet to seven feet are the choice ones for the hide market, an alligator hunter explained, stating that no matter how long an alligator is the markets pay only for a seven-foot length. The skin is not taken off the backs of the larger alligators, but the full skin back and all, is taken from the smaller ones. "Buttonholer Coming" Mother had told Marjorle, age four, that when grandmother came she would sew some buttons on her dress and work some buttonholes. A few days later when she was informed that her grandmother would arrive that day she said, "Oh, goodie, my button and buttonholer is coming." THE MONITOR LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Mr. Lyons of Minneapolis, Minn., vas in the city this week to look after his sister, Miss Margaret Lyons, who had been quite ill. Miss Lyons will go home with her brother, if able to stand the trip. Mrs. Vashti Mosby has returned home from Omaha after spending about two weeks with friends. Mrs. William Woods has returned home after accompanying her aunt, Mrs. Elmira Conley, to her home in Chicago. Miss Margaret Lyons left Monday with her brother for Minneapolis, Minn. The Council of Deliberation of the Scottish Rite Masons will convene at Lincoln in Masonic hall, 1133 M street, at 1:30 p. m. Sunday, March 4th. The several dinners given by clubs of Mount Zion Baptist church last week were reported as being successful. Mrs. Margaret Brown is yet confined to her bed, and very feeble at the home of her daughter, 1335 Rose street. Mrs. Anna Christman is yet on the mend. Mr. George B. Evans is gradually improving from a recent attack of rheumatism. The choir of Mount Zion Baptist church is busily rehearsing a cantata to be given on Easter Sunday. FATHER OF ROBERT Rev. Robert Bagnall, father of the director of branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and retired clergyman of the Episcopal Church, died at Toledo, Ohio, February 20, after a prolonged illness, at the age of 68. Father Bagnall spent many years in educational work, being for some time warden and resident professor at Bishop Payne Divinity school. He afterwards successfully pastored parishes in Spartanburg, S. C., and Toledo, Ohio. A man of scholarly habits, fine polish and sympathetic nature, he was much beloved and had a host of friends among both races. He leaves a widow, six children and six grandchildren. The bishop of the diocese, assisted by two priests, officiated at his funeral, and the entire clericus of the city in vestments were in the procession, and all the colored clergy of Toledo attended in a body. Revenge is sweet, the kind or sweetness that is apt to curdle. No Time Buy Your Pi Positively the most sensational Our stock of musical merchant former prices.

DR HOPE TO ATTEND Leaving Atlanta Wednesday afternoon, Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse college, Atlanta, Georgia, sailed from New York on Saturday, February 25, on the S. S. Adriatic for the Mediterranean. He is going as a delegate to the World Missionary conference, which is to be held in Jerusalem, March 18 to April 9. Dr. Hope was invited to attend this conference as one of the 200 delegates, including missionaries, educators, government representatives and others, who will study various problems now confronting mission work of all denominations. Dr. John R. Mott, of New York, is to preside at the conference. One of the principal subjects to be discussed at the conference, it is announced, will be the spirit of racial unrest now evidenced in many parts of the world. America, it is expected, will figure prominently in discussions of this subject, with Dr. Hope contributing valuable suggestions. His paper on "The Negro in the United States of America" has been published in one of the several pamphlets issued by the International Missionary council in connection with the Jerusalem meeting, and a cable from Dr. Mott, who left before the other delegates, received the day before Dr. Hope left Atlanta, requested that he, together with Max Yergan, speak at the Conference on "A Christian Solution of the Race Problem." Dr. Hope will take advantage of the return trip to visit several points of interest in the Far East. He will return to New York on April 26.
