Texas And Georgia Will Stop Lynchings State Librarian STATE- WIDE EDITION VOL. 1. NO. 33. NEGRO'S GREAT FAITH IN GOD CAUSES HIM TO BE LOYAL AND TRUE In the days of the Civil war, the Negro did not know it would result in his freedom, for the issue upon which the war was fought was the preservation of the Union and not the manumission of the slaves; but freely and willingly the Negro volunteered to fight to save the Union, and went in this war two hundred thousand strong and just how noble and patriotic they fought, the battles of Fort Wagoner, Pillow, Petersburg and others will tell. The Negro's great trust and faith in God, have been the force that has made him the kind of citizen and soldier that he is. He believes in the Bible and believes in God, and because of this great faith he loves his country and its flag and believes back of the flag stands his God; that's why, when he is lynched, burned at the stake, shot down like a dog, disfranchised, Jim crowed, rejected and otherwise maltreated, beneath the folds of Old Glory, he never weakens, but with faith in God, he looks up and says to the flag in the language of Job: "Though you slay me, yetwill I trust you," and to his government he says: "All the days of my appointed time will I wait until my change comes." The Negro shall not be disappointed in his trust and hope—heart rending and soul trying as is the sting of this terrible war at the present; there is yet to come a brighter and grander day for the Negro—the unfalling loyalty, unshaken faith and faultless love, as have been portrayed by the Negro for America and its flag, shall not return to him void. There is something infinitely greater and more enduring which is emerging already out of this bloody conflict—a new sentiment in favor of the race, richer, nobler and more exalted than ever before, is being moulded in favor of the Negro. While the American white man has trusted in his physical endurance and financial strength, the Negro has trusted in his God and ever stood firm in his belief that God was directing the battle. When others sulked and refused to be comforted, the Negro has kept happy with his songs and prayers—the terrible ordeals which the war has brought have only served to draw the Negro closer to his God and each other and to perpetual love for both God and man—God will deliver him and give him the desire of his heart. The God that led and delivered his fore-fathers up from the cursed chains of slavery; will in like manner, bring the race into its own, in these times, up out of the mire of race hatred and black prejudice of the white man, into the glorious sunlight of human freedom and liberty, equal rights and equal justice. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning." He who watches the Sparrow fall, is keeping tab on twelve million of his oppressed and persecuted people.—Galveston New Idea. SPANISH INFLUENZA; HOW TO DEAL WITH IT (Editor's Note: The following article, written by Mr. Zeno H. Lockett of the Medical Department, Twenty-fifth Infantry (colored), stationed at Ajo, Ariz., was handed the Tribune representative in that town for the purpose of having it placed before all readers of this journal (the majority of whom are known to be colored), that they may act wisely in combatting this recent epidemic. Mr. Lockett and others of the Twenty-fifth have just returned from the Hawaiian Islands, where they were stationed for some time.) Following is the article: I would like to inform the readers of the Tribune about the influenza, so that they may inform others. Spanish influenza, which we have heard or read so much about, is not quite so alarming as one judges it to be, still there are lots of precautions we should take in preventing the spread of this disease. I advise the people to take necessary steps to keep (Continued on page 8) EIGHT PAGES LOYALTY IS SECOND NATURE TO NEGROES Greensboro, N. C., Oct. 29.—She was old and wrinkled, her ebony face seamed with years of toil, but there was a determination reflected in her eye as with firm step she led her eighth and youngest son to the courthouse and presented him to the legal advisory board. In due time with her stalwart son at her side she was seated before a member of the board, and together they were answering the questions contained in the questionnaire. "Do you claim exemption for any reason, young man?" asked the lawyer. The young Negro turned an inquiring eye toward his mother, but before he could answer, she broke in: "No, sir, I'm not going to claim any exemption for him at all. I've already got seven sons in the army and they're all right over in France for democracy right now; and I think I can get along somehow without them until they come back again, so if Mr. Wilson needs this boy to help kill the kaiser, then I'll offer no objection at all." So, on the strength of this statement the lawyer marked an "X" on the line opposite the words "single man with no dependents," and a proud old mother walked away rejoicing in the knowledge of a duty well done, and a husky youth made ready to join his seven brothers "over there." COLORED JOCKEY SHOT IN OUARREL Baltimore, Md., Oct. 29.—Perhaps fatally injured, Booth Bryant, a well-known colored steeple-chase jockey, is lying in the Franklin Square Hospital with a bullet hole through his stomach as the result of a brawl over a game of craps. He was rushed hurriedly to this city from Laurel, Md., where early last evening the shooting occurred. Before losing consciousness Bryant alleged that a white boy by the name of Isaacs fired the shot that may cost his life after they had engaged in a heated argument. The bullet entered his stomach and passed out his back. Physicians at Laurel, realizing the seriousness of the case, lost no time in having the injured man rushed to this city. Bryant has been well known on the turf for several years. He has ridden in many steeplechase events, has always been known as a skillful rider and was very familiar to patrons of the local race courses. During the meeting at Havre de Grace and the session at Laurel, which was interrupted last Saturday by the epidemic of Spanish influenza, he frequently appeared as a rider in the struggles through the fields and won a couple of these affairs. It is understood that Bryant, before lapsing into unconsciousness, gave a thorough description of the man he claims shot him. The authorities at Laurel quickly took up the chase to apprehend the alleged assailant. COLOR QUESTION ARISES—TRANSVAAL Whites. Do Not Want Natives to Have Monopoly of Unskilled Work In the Colony The Transvall is now discussing whether unskilled labor shall be the exclusive property of Kaffir natives or whether white men shall be employed for such work. There is considerable difference of opinion in the matter, and although certain interests oppose the employment of white men at comparatively high wages, several newspapers and organizations are strongly in favor of educating white men to perform all the important work of the country. One objection to the employment of white men for unskilled work is that it may bar blacks from employment of any kind. White labor now has a monopoly of the skilled trades and there is a possibility that the high wages for white unskilled labor may cause employers to hire white men exclusively as they refuse to pay the same money to blacks. When a man's trousers are out at the knees, it's sometimes hard to tell whether it's from praying or shooting craps.

Editor's Note: The following editorial is taken from the Baltimore Daily Herald, the only Negro daily newspaper in the United States. The editor of this paper scores the white daily papers for giving so much front page space to a false or defamatory article about Negroes and then scarcely mentioning worthy deeds which our people perform. The editorial and the letter of the commanding officer to the editor of the white daily that published the article, follow: "Nearly a month ago the Press Dispatches carried a news item from Newport News in which it was heralded all over the country that ten Negro soldiers were shot down in a riot with civilians in Norfolk, Va. "Such lying press dispatches always find their way into the great dallies of the country, but news items informing the nation of the loyal deeds of Negroes, their purchase of Liberty bonds, Thrift Stamps and their daily sacrifices to aid the government in its war program are seldom given an inch space in the white dallies outside of the city where the activities occur. "The letter to The Times-Herald of Col. Dulin, commanding officer at Camp Alexander which follows exposes the venom and lying propensity of white dallies toward Negroes and especially Negro soldiers. "It furnishes a lesson that should teach the race that it is imperative that they should support their own newspapers and aid in building up a journalism that will be able to maintain its own press service and meet the lying press service of the press associations with immediate contradiction, and denunciation, if need be. "Lying misrepresentation of the Negro in the great dallies in the United States has done more, is still doing more—to rob him of his citizenship and civil rights and fasten the chain of semi-slavery upon him than all other agencies used against him." Col. Dulin's Letter to The Times- Herald "On September 22, 1918, you published on the front page of your paper a story which has been given circulation throughout the country, to the effect that a mob of civilian Negroes, headed by a SCORE or more NEGRO SOLDIERS, attacked the Second Precinct Station, Norfolk, etc., etc. "The story further states that ten Negro soldiers and civilians were shot down in the exchange of bullets, etc., and that the Negro soldiers were from Camp Alexander, as Camp Alexander is a NEGRO stevedore camp."

COLORED LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE ISSUES STATEMENT As chairman of the committee of colored people for the Fourth Liberty loan, I deem it my duty to thank and congratulate this committee for their splendid efforts in behalf of the Fourth Liberty loan. I also wish to thank the colored citizens of Phoenix, who purchased Liberty bonds through this committee. Notwithstanding, this committee started upon their work after two-thirds of the colored people had purchased Liberty bonds through their banks or through their employers, we succeeded in raising for the Fourth Liberty Loan a tidy sum of $3,850. I am indeed glad to know that my people stand one hundred per cent behind the president and the boys in the trenches. The patriotism and loyalty of the American Negro has never been questioned. He has fought in every war that has occupied the attention of this government and has brought credit to himself and this Nation as well. He fought at Bunker Hill and at Gettysburg; at San Juan Hill and at Carrizal; and he is fighting NOW "somewhere in France." (Signed): PAUL GREEN. NOTE: This article and the names of bond purchasers should have appeared in our last issue, but owing to war conditions which have curtailed the output of the paper mills, we were crowded for space—Editor. GEORGIA COTTON PICKERS GET A PENNY A POUND Atlanta, Ga.—Coming to the rescue of the cotton farmers whose fields are white with cotton and pickers almost unobtainable, the women's committee of the Fulton County Unit of the Council of National Defense are enrolling volunteers for this patriotic and now renumerative work. Many other women's organizations are organizing to send women and girls to the fields throughout Georgia to save the crop of fleecy staple. Farmers are paying from $1 to $1.50 per hundred for the picking, and in many cases the women turn the proceeds over to the Red Cross. INFLUENZA TO BE FOLLOWED BY END OF WORLD Chicago, Oct. 29.—The late Alexander Dowie's followers at Zion City are preparing for the end of the world, which they expect soon, according to a warning announcement issued tonight by Wilbur Gleen Volvia, overseer of the sect. Volvia gave it as his opinion that the epidemic of influenza is only "the first chapter in a book of sorrows," the climax of which will be the destruction of the planet. HEALTH REGULATIONS LAID DOWN BY STATE HEALTH AUTHORITIES With the nations at war and activities being gradually crippled by the spread of Spanish influenza, the need for cleanliness in public eating and drinking places becomes paranoid. With this duty in mind, the Board of Health of the State of Arizona, through Dr. O. H. Brown, state health officer, asks that the following rules and regulations governing the sanitation of public eating and drinking places be given the widest publicity by the Phoenix Tribune. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 4370 of the statutes of 1913, the State Board of Health of the State of Arizona heyday (1) publishes the following rules and regulations respecting restaurants, hotels, boarding houses, drug stores and drink places, to be immediately effective. 1. All hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, drug stores, and drink places shall wash thoroughly in scalding fresh water and soap, and rinse in scalding fresh water all dishes knives, and utensils used in cooking or preparing or service of food or drink or on or about the table in connection with any restaurant, boarding house, lunch room, hotel, or other place where food or drinks are served to the public, after each service to patrons, and sufficiently often to insure sanitary conditions. 2. All hotels, boarding houses, restaurants, drug stores, lunch counters, and drink places shall furnish and have used only towels, that are clean and thoroughly sanitary for drying all dishes and silverware. 3. All places mentioned in Section 1 and 2 using dish washing devices PRESIDENT WILSON EXPECTED TO MAKE ADDRESS AT A COLORED SCHOOL The October number of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) is largely devoted to the war activities of the Negroes and Indians of Hampton Institute as a training school for young soldiers of these races. A page is devoted to items about "The Negro and the War," and articles and editorials on the same subject include an illustrated paper on the Hostess House at Camp Upton for Colored soldiers; "The Psychology of a Senegal," a most interesting character study; an account of the naming of Camp Alexander, the new stevedore camp at Newport News; the Hymn of Freedom by Natalie Curtis Burlin with the story of its origin and its introduction in the army camps; tributes to Negro soldiers and records of incidents showing the loyalty of the black race. Poems include "The Indian Soldier," "Our Colored Soldiery," and "Take the Loan," an appropriate song for the Fourth Loan drive. An important illustrated article is a report on the new County Training Schools for Negoes in the South by Jackson Davis, field agent of the General Education Board. The leading editorial announces the program for the coming celebration on October 31 and November 1 of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Hampton Institute when President Wilson is expected to make an address if his public duties permit. NO FAVORS TO THE SOLDIERS War Department Opposes Reduced Railroad Fares Washington.—Reduced railroad fare for soldiers and sailors is opposed by the War Department. In a letter today to Chairman Chamberlain, of the Senate Military Committee, opposing a bill by Senator Calder of New York, proposing a cent a mile rate, Acting Secretary Crowell wrote: "While it is recognized that such legislation would be very acceptable to the officers and enlisted men of the army, it is felt that it would result in an increase of travel over our already much congested railroads commensurate with any advantage gained." EIGHT PAGES RIOTER'S STONE KAISER'S PALACE London.—Peace rioters attacked the kaiser's palace in Berlin on Wednesday and smashed one hundred of the windows with bricks, said an Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily Express today. The kaiser was reported to have been in hiding during the attack. Police and soldiers were ordered out against the rioters and attacked them with bayonets. WHERE BATTLE WILL BE FOUGHT THAT WILL DECIDE WAR IS QUESTION NOW ASKED The question as to where and when the deciding battle of the present great war will be fought is one which the whole world is asking, says a writer in Philadelphia North American. The battle of the Somme, Verdun, the battle of the Marne and the great drive against the Hindenburg line were each a great stride toward victory, but only the future can tell just when and where the deciding blow will be struck. And without such a blow, say the historians, no permanent peace can be achieved, for wars of the past show that the end is always brought about by some great, decisive victory. Gettysburg was the deciding battle of the Civil war and Saratoga is considered as having been the critical fight during the Revolution. One must, however, go back some 2,407 years to find the first decisive battle of history, which was fought at Marathon, when the Athenians under Militades defeated the Persians and preserved free government. Equally decisive was the victory of the Syracusans over those same Athenians some seventy odd years later, and since then there has been no war in which some battle has not been definitely the deciding struggle. Oddly enough, such battles are almost always fought on land, for no matter how great the victory at sea, it does not seem as efficacious in ending war as does such a victory on land. Thus, while the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 was the deciding naval battle between France and England since it destroyed Napoleon's hope of invading Great Britain, it was not until Waterloo, some ten years later, that a decisive defeat was administered to Bonapare by the allied armies of Russia, Austria, Prussia and England. WHITE MASONS REFUSE TO WORK WITH COLORED MASONS IN BALTIMORE Humilating Experience of Mr. J. A Boler, A First Class Mechanic Baltimore, Maryland, Oct. 28. Mr. J. A. Boler, a first class brick mason of Florence, S. C., was brought to Baltimore a few weeks ago to work on a government job at Curtis Bay When Mr. Boler was put to work the white mechanics immediately walked down from the scaffold and declared they would throw up their job rather than work with a Negro. There was no question of union or non union—merely Negro and White. The government agent who employed Mr. Boler endeavored to satisfy all parties and did all he could to take care of Mr. Boler under the circumstances. He was placed in charge of a laborers group by the employment agent. After two or three days on this job several white laborers who were in the group refused to work under a Negro and Mr. Boler concluded it time to try for work else where. He found work at the Bethlehem Steel Company's plant and is now at work satisfied and giving perfect satisfaction to his employers. Mr. Boler is a highly intelligent workman and one who thoroughly knows his trade, having taught at Tuskegee Institute; he also carried on a contracting business in St. Louis. He came to the city from Wichita, Kansas. Mr. Boler is not at all a believer in the absorption of Negroes by the Federation of Labor as a cure for color line prejudice; on the contrary his experience makes him know that the effort to unionize the Negro is simply to control him and force him out of profitable and the most preferable classes of labor when normal conditions return. STATE- WIDE EDITION 5 CENTS A COPY; $2 A YEAR TEXAS AND GEORGIA ENACT LAWS DESIGNED TO STOP LYNCHINGS Texas and Georgia are trying to put a stop to lynching. The Texas plan is to pay rewards for convictions. The Georgia way is to take the sheriff's job from him if he allows anybody to be lynched in his bailiwick. The Texas plan is the most expensive but the Georgia way is sure to prove the most effective. The open handed Texans propose to end lynching and mob violence not only in Texas, but "within the bounds of continental United States." The idea is to raise a fund of $100,000, to be maintained for five years, to combat and punish lynching and mob violence. A reward of $100 is to be paid to each person directly responsible for the arrest and subsequent conviction of any person or persons instrumental in arousing a mob to commit lynching or participate in the lynching itself, when the victim is white, and $1,000 under the same conditions when the victim is a Negro. The offer applies to officials and private citizens of any state. The Georgia legislature is pondering a bill which provides for the removal from office of any sheriff who permits a prisoner to be taken from the jail or from his deputies and lynched. The difficulty about the Texas plan is that it makes no provision for getting juries that will convict in lynchings cases. It looks like prosecuting witnesses are going to have a hard time getting the $100, and a harder time getting the $1,000, unless sufficiently alluring rewards are offered to jurors to convict. Juries in lynching cases are peculiar. The Georgia plan has been in operation in Illinois for several years and has been found extremely efficacious. It has not put a stop to lynching in that state, but it has practically stopped the practice of taking prisoners from the sheriff's custody and lynching them, which was a popular and perfectly safe pastime before the law was enacted. An Illinois sheriff, when confronted with the alternative of holding his prisoner or losing his job, generally finds a way to foil the lynchers.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. FIRST COLORED BANK DESIGNATED AS U. S. DEPOSITORY Portsmouth, Va.—The Mutual Savings bank of this city has the distinction of being the only Colored bank in this country which the United States has designated as a depository of the government, this honor having been conferred upon it on account of its splendid record in the Liberty Loan campaign. The record made by the Colored people in this city and vicinity in the first, second and third Liberty Loan drives is worthy of the highest commendation. In the first loan twelve persons subscribed through the Mutual Savings Bank for $2,000 worth of bonds; in the second loan 464 persons subscribed. THOUGHT THEY WERE FIGHTING FOUR MILLION NEGROES WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE.—(By Mall.)—The Germans are annoyed by the frequency with which they run into colored American troops all along the line. The Germans don't understand it. An American unit captured a German line officer cast of Rheims after his unit, with others, had been trying to break through for three days. A French intelligence officer asked the German why the boches failed to break through. "The reason for the failure," said the German, "it is the colored Americans. We are storm troops, our unit. We have been in attacks on three points along the line in a month. Each time we have run into colored Americans. I have letters from friends along the line. They have all hit or been hit by colored Americans, who are everywhere." When asked, the German officer estimated there were 4,000,000 colored Americans in France.

He was accused of stealing $15 from the cash register. He denied it. The proprietor went out and re- turned with two policemen.

Shil- lady of New York, makes public the following telegram of protest to Pres- ident Wilson and to Governor Brough of Arkansas against the application of compulsory work laws to women. The association’s action was taken on the basis of press dispatches stating that Arkansas planters have begun a move- ment to force Negro women to work on cotton plantations in that state against their will, and the reported en- forcement in a Georgia town against Negro women of compulsory work laws which are applied against col- ored women only. . The telegrams fol- low: “Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D.C. National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People earnest. ly requests your attention and that of proper department of the federal gov- ernment to prevent forced labor of Negro women in any states. New York newspapers carry press dispatches from. Pine Bluff, Ar- kansas, that local business men and planters have begun movement to have work or fight orders applied to women, alleging that Negro women now living on allotments paid them by war department because of drafted husbands and sons serving in armed forces of the country are refusing to perform labor. Wrightsville, Ga., is reported to be enforcing against col- ored women only ordinance requiring both sexes ‘to work at least fifty hours Per week.

FORTUNE HUNTERS DIGGING FOR NEGRO MINER'S WEALTH Murphys, Cal.—History has it that in the early days a negro named “Buster”, who mined on the Sen An- tone creek, had a vast amount ot gold dust—a bake oven full of* the Precious metal—and he buried it. Later the Negro died without divalg. ing the whereabouts of his wealth. Many people have in years past gone to the scene of Buster’s eabin and looked for the treasure, Divining rods and all known schemes have been’ resorted to, but without avail. Now comes David Baritini, of Murphys, and Donald Kaspare, of Fair Oaks, and they have joined in a further search for the gold. Both are confident that they have the “in- side track” and will find their for. tunes, and they are daily working in great faith as to the ultimate suc- cess of their undertaking. To this date they are assiduously digging away without results. a ee A TOAST Here's to our soldiers over the foam; Here's to our boys so far from home; Here's to their valor and loyalty, Who are fighting for you and fighting for me; - Here's to their blood so freely shed, Here's. to the dear onos"that are dead Here's to the ones who languish in pain, May their sacrifice not be in vain: Here's to the prayers that daily rise From mothers to the vaulted skies: Here's a wish for their safe roturn, To the homes and hearts that for them yearn; Here's tor our dear ones “Over There” O, may God keep them in His care; Here's to the flag that we reveto, Here’s to our Country we love so dear; Here's to a World's Democracy, And here's to our bgys across the sea.

FAMOUS NINTH CAVALRY RECORD WITHOUT EQUAL Fighting Nagre Cavalry at Last Being Given a Chance VLADIVOSTOCK, Russia, — The world-famous United States Ninth Cavalry, Colored, arrived here a few days ago from Stotensburg, Philippine Islands, where the troopers have beon stationed for some time keeping order among the Filipinos. The Ninth is part of the American expeditionary forces recently landed here, who, with the Japanese forces, form the allied invasion of Siberia. This is not the first time that the Ninth has carried the Stars and Stripes into battle in the Orient. It will be remembered that this regiment fought in the battle of Tien Tsien during the Boer upris- ing in 1899, their commanding officer, Colonel Liscum, being killed in ac- tion, ‘The second officer in command of this organization is a Colored man, Lieutenant Colonel Ollie B. Phillips, who was formerly a major for several years in the same cavalry. The Bol- sheviki will get a genuine spanking if they persist in their defiant spirit and belligerent and bellicose attitude towards Uncle Sam and the allies. The above néws item relative to the Ninth United States Cavalry land- ing in Russia recalls the gallant and conspicuous service that this organi- zation has rendered since its birth fe New Orleans, La., in 1868, when 2,26 exslaves were enlisted for the armed service of America. These men formed the nucleus around which the 24th and 25th Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry were organized. All four are noted ag fearless and in- trepid fighters, with the honors going to the cavalry commands. ‘The Ninth, often called the “N— Ninth,” during the 52 years of its existence, has par- ticipated in Indian wars on the west- em frontiers and rendered distin- guished service at San Juan Hill, when ‘the Ninth and Tenth stormed the en- trenched Spaniards, despite the yells and protestations of Colonel Roose- velt and his Rough Riders that it was dea th to climb the hill in the face of the terrific enemy fire, and thereby saved (ae day fov Old Glory and pre- ‘vented the utter annihilation of the colonel and his great organization. ‘Their charge up San Juan Hill is one_of the greatest feats of daring and intrepidity in the annals of Wwar- fare, and tho capture of Hl Caney was no small accomplishment, neither did it fall short of San Juan in daring bravery and gallantry. ‘These black troopers know nothing about retreat, in fact, it is not_in their martial yo- cabulary or lexicon, for when informed at San Juan Hill that it was death to storm the Spanish trenches, they yelled: “To hell with the rear!

Food Administration to Continue Assurance $15.50 for Fall Hogs Saturday, November 2, 1913 Food Administrator Assurance $150 Herbert Hoover, food administrator was written the following letter to H. C. Stuart, chairman of the Agricultural Advisory Board, in response to the recommendations of the board with regard to the maintenance of hog prices; "Dear Gov. Stuart—I am extremely obliged for the helpful and intelligent recommendations of the committee. I wish to say for the Food Administration that so far as we are able we will continue the assurance of a minimum $15.50 per hundred for average of packers' drives at Chicago for hogs farrowed this fall. We can reconsider the outlook in a few months as to the extension of this again to spring farrowing. I have myself little doubt that we will be able to continue. I do want it made clear in all these matters of price influence by the government that this is not a guaranty—it is a policy, and this policy will only be defeated by some unlooked for interruption in distribution transportation or consumption—a risk of war we must all take. "The criticism has been made that in changing the formula from 'cost of corn to be fed to the hogs' to the 'farm value' or farmers' 'selling value at country stations' has the effect of an advance to the farmer, as it realizes to him the profit on corn production as well as the profit between the normal amount of corn fed to hogs and the higher ratio here adopted, and that the calculation of hogs at Chicago only partly compensates this. I am not, however, disposed to quarrel with just profits to the farmer, and in any event the application of such formulas must be rough and ready, and designed to attain their real end—justice and the stimulation of production "The Food Administration has systematic independent information on the actual prices paid for corn at country stations through its cereal division, and we must necessarily use this information in conjunction with information collected by the Department of Agriculture. "We have carried out an inquiry as to which really are the eight leading hog and corn-producing states for a basis of these calculations. We examined the question from various standpoints—production of both items upon a square-mile basis, upon per capita basis of population, upon simple state production and for different years. Under these tests Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska and Missouri—six states—fall into every basis of cal- VOTE FOR THE MAN! THOMAS E.

From different aspects, Minnesota, South Dakota, Texas and 'ennessee all enter for the other two in fact, the committee was referring o the 'corn belt,' of which Texas lies outside and only, has place here by heer size. From various aspects it appears to me that everyone would agree that South Dakota and Minnesota more nearly conform to the committee's definition than any other, specially if we 'weight' the relative factors. I have, therefore, adopted these states. "In accordance with the committee's recommendation we will issue instructions to the packing firms, about 50 in number, who participate in controlled orders, effecting so far as these orders will go the stabilization of price on these lines. "You will recognize that this should be effective as long as the controlled orders dominate the market. If they fall short of this it will be necessary to rely upon the packers carrying in stock any surplus pending absorption by the controlled orders or general consumption. "This was accomplished last winter under difficulties, and a break below the minimum was prevented. "Faithfully yours, (Signed) "HERBERT HOOVER. "The Hon. Henry C. Stuart, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C." The Agricultural Advisory Board's recommendations were embodied in a report of a special subcommittee made public last Thursday. This committee's report was as follows: The committee has been asked by the Agricultural Advisory Board to meet in conference with the Food Administration in consideration of the commercial methods to be pursued by the administration in the interpretation of the policy outlined on November 3 1917, with regard to the price of hogs, which was as follows: "The prices, so far as we can effect them, will not go below a minimum of about $15.50 per hundred weight for the average of packers' droves on the Chicago market until further notice. * * * As to the hogs farrowed next spring (1918), we will try to stabilize the price so that the farmer can count on getting for each 100 pounds of hog ready for market, 13 times the average cost per bushel of corn fed into the hogs. Let there be no misunderstanding of this statement. It is not a guarantee backed by money. It is not a promise by the packers. It is a statement of the intention and policy of the Food Administration, which means to do justice to the farmer." The recommendations of the committee were. (1) It is recognized that the Food Administration has no power to fix the price of hogs or corn, and can only influence the hog price so far as the volume of controlled orders for the army, navy, allies and export trade will absorb the surplus production. If prices should go so high as to curtail consumption at home and abroad, then in this event the stabilization of prices during the next winter would be likely to fall, with disaster to the producer. On the other hand, it must be recognized that the costs of production are necessarily greatly increased and that to maintain production fair returns must be assured to the farmer. It is, therefore, in the fundamental interest of the producer and consumer that both extreme high and low prices should be guarded against. (2) In order to effectually carry out the above policy of the Food Administration, it is recommended that in dealing with the packer in respect to the coordinated purchase of pork products that directions should, if necessary, include a definite price basis in advance from month to month for the packers, purchase of hogs, upon which such orders will be based. (3) It is recommended by the committee that the "average cost per bushel of corn" for the purpose of determining the price of hogs be considered as the average "farm value of corn," or the average selling price of corn at local railroad stations, as determined by the Department of Agriculture, and that the general corn figures may be arrived at by taking these averages and weighing them according to production over the eight leading hog and corn producing states for a period of five months preceding the month the hogs are marketed, or prior to the month for which the directions are given to the packers. The price of hogs should be calculated on the average packers' droves at Chicago. (4) To illustrate: Based upon the prices of corn figured on the above basis during the last five months, and a general survey of market and consumption conditions, it was agreed that a fair price interpretation of the ratio for the month of October would be an average price, for the average of packers' droves, of about $18.50 per 100 pounds at Chicago. It can not be expected that the day to day market prices, with the fluctuating flow of demand and supply, can be maintained at any fixed and definite figures, but that it should be the aim to maintain about an average during THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING Republican State Ticket Republican State Ticket Representative in Congress Thos. Maddock Secretary of State Hary Kay State Auditor Chas. W. Fairfield State Treasurer James A. Jones Attorney General David Benshimol Superintendent of Public Instruction H. E. Matthews Corporation Commissioner J. G. Compton Mine Inspector John F. White (5) The indication of war demands are that the supply of pork products for the future should be kept up to the present level of production. The producers have responded magnificently and are placing at the hands of the government the hogs with which to carry over the allied and domestic necessities for the next 12 months. It is obvious that after peace the world demand for pork products will be greatly increased over the present large war demands The Food Administration should endeavor during the war to maintain prices for hogs that will be profitable to the producer and fair to the consumer, and to give this assurance to the producer the committee recommends that the Food Administration should at once announce its intention to maintain the minimum price of not less than $15.50 continuously during the war. HOW TO MAKE CORDWOOD Methods of cutting cordwood are discussed in a circular. "Emergency Fuel from the Farm Woodland," issued by the United States Department of Agriculture to aid farmers in helping to meet the fuel shortage. The most common method of making cordwood is to cut the trees into four-foot lengths with the axe and split the larger pieces. The pieces are then piled in a standard cord, which is eight feet long, four feet wide and four feet high. The contents are 128 cubic feet, of which about 70 per cent is wood and 30 per cent air. Wood cut four feet long can be sold to brick yards, limestone, metal-working plants and other industries, but is too large for household use. This method is used chiefly where the tree growth is comparatively small, as in second growth, because such wood splits easily. Another method, and one better adapted for old growth hard woods, which are difficult to split, is to saw the tree into logs of convenient lengths, say from ten to fifteen feet. These are "snaked" out to the edge of the woodland and there sawed and split into lengths for the stove or furnace. The sawing is usually done by machin$, driven either by gasoline or by electricity. The wood is piled four feet high and eight feet long, such a pile being called a stove wood or running cord or run. When the wood is sawed into 16-inch lengths, as is customary with stove material, three runs are theoretically equivalent to a cord. Actually they contain somewhat more wood, since small pieces can be packed more closely than larger ones. This forest fire prevention advice comes from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, which is aiding in the protection of woodlands through its Weather Bureau and Forest Service. Stop and think before you throw away a match, cigarette, cigar stub, or leave a camp fire. Fires in war time threaten human lives, homes, stock, crops, timber, labor, and war material. Carelessness and incendiarism are largely responsible. Do your bit. Be careful of fire and tell others to be careful Report the incendiar; he's helping the Huns. The Proper Fumigation Of Farm Granaries At this season stored grain is frequently severely damaged by several grain beetles and weevils, also a species of moth, which insects not only consume the substance of the grain, but in some cases give it a flavor which is objectionable to stock. The ninth annual report of the Arizona Commission of Agriculture and Horticulture includes a brief account of the damage done by insects at a farm granary near Phoenix in the fall of 1917, together with an account of the methods employed in fumigating with carbon bisulfid. This circular is prepared to give information concerning this method of control so that it may be more generally used by farmers and seedmen in Arizona. Small lots of grain products can be f tight barrels, or b emptying the doses by tying tightly over thickness of heavy two or three thick vas. Paper is more canvas and i Two gallons, or pounds, of carbo feet of space, with perature slightly at the beginning of the a satisfactory dos the granary here This building, as h not closed tightly t tight storage room Carbon bisulfid is a clear liquid which when exposed evaporates or volatilizes very rapidly, forming a poisonous gas. This gas is about two and a half times as heavy as air. When mixed with certain proportions of air it is highly inflammable and explosive. On account of its penetrative powers carbon bisulfid gas is very effective against insects in stored grains and other food products. It is commonly called "high life" and is well known in some sections on account of its use against prairie dogs. The chemically pure carbon bisulfid does not have an objectionable odor, but the commercial grade manufactured particularly for the destruction of insects and rodents has a disagreeable odor owing to hydrogen sulfid which it contains. In fumigating a granary the first step is to make the building as tight as possible. The bottom can usually be made reasonably tight by throwing dirt all around the sides and packing it down with a shovel. Strips of heavy brown paper should be pasted over all cracks and openings in the side walls. It is, as a rule, best to employ a professional paperhanger to do this. One door should be left open as an exit, but everything should be in readiness for prompt work as soon as the operators have finished their work inside. Wet newspapers are useful in preparing a building for fumigation, especially in closing openings around sliding doors. The wet paper should be tightly rammed into the openings with a stick. If the roof is provided with a ventilator one or more wagon or hay stack covers may be thrown over it in order to check the circulation of air. All openings should be covered for as far as possible above the highest sack of grain, but a margin of three or four feet proved sufficient in one instance where it was impractical to close a corrugated iron building tightly at the eaves. Sometimes it may be necessary to rearrange the sacks of grain in order to have all of it well below the eaves. The exposure should start preferably about midday, since insects are easiest to poison when most active, and up to a certain point they are most active when the temperature is highest. Do not fumigate when the temperature is below 70 degrees. The granary should be kept closed for 24 hours, by which t time much of the gas will have escaped. Carbon hisulfid will not injure the feeding value or the germination of grains and seeds. A convenient method of exposing the liquid in granaries, therefore, is to open the cans and when everything is ready turn them upside down so that the contents can run out on the sacks of grain. The cans should first be placed at suitable intervals on top of the sacked grain and arrangements made between the men as to the part each will do in order to turn over all the cans, get out of the building and close the exit, as heretofore advised, as quickly as possible. Proper storage of potatoes, according to a specialist of the United States Department of Agriculture, would prevent much of the annual loss in this important food crop. Inexperienced growers especially are urged to take safeguards against spoilage. Potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark cellar or be buried in a pit in the garden. They must not be allowed to freeze. If they are buried in pits, the potatoes must be covered sufficiently to keep out all frost. If exposed to the light, they will turn green. A good method of storing potatoes is to place them in barrels with a few holes cut in the sides near the bottom for ventilation. Cover the barrels with old sacks and place them in a cool, lark part of the cellar Poor Lot's wife turned to salt, alas! Her fate was most unkind. No doubt she only wished to see How hung her skirt bellind. If at first some men don't succeed, they fail, fall again. Some ministers object to skating on the ground. They say that it has a tendency to promote back-sliding. Small lots of grain, seed or other products can be fumigated in water-tight barrels or boxes closed, after emptying the dose of carbon bisulfid, by tying tightly over the top a double thickness of heavy wrapping paper or two or three thicknesses of tight canvas. Paper is more nearly gastight than canvas and is to be preferred. Two gallons, or approximately 20 pounds, of carbon bisulfid to 1000 feet of space, with the outdoor temperature slightly above 90 degrees at the beginning of the exposure, proved a satisfactory dosage in fumigating the granary heretofore mentioned. This building, as has been stated, was not closed tightly at the eaves. With tight storage rooms or granaries, 15 or even 10 pounds of carbon bisulfid to each 1000 cubic feet of space is sufficient. With tight barrels or small—approximately gastight bins—one fluid ounce of the liquid to six cubic feet of space might be sufficient but for the fact that the rate of leakage is proportionately much greater in small compartments or containers than in large ones. In other words, a barrel or box must be much tighter in proportion than a large granary in order to secure equivalent results with a fumigant at a given dosage rate. It is advisable, therefore, when fumigating small quantities of materials in barrels or boxes to use proportionately heavier dosage unless it is certain that the container is approximately gastight. One ounce of carbon bisulfid to two cubic feet of space should be sufficient with a reasonably tight container. Attention has been called to the fact that carbon bisulfid gas, when mixed with air in the right proportion, is highly infamable and explosive. The same care should be used in handling carbon bisulfid as is used ordinarily in handling gasoline. Smoking must be avoided, and lamps, lanterns, matches or electric lights must not be used in a building after the exposure is started. Carbon bisulfid gas is not a quick acting or violent poison like hydrocyanic acid gas, but it is advisable for the operators to hold the breath after starting to expose the liquid until they have reached the open air. A building, bin, barrel or box which is being fumigated with carbon bisulfid or any other poisonous gas should be conspicuously labeled in order to avoid accidents. After the end of the exposure the place fumigated should be ventilated by opening doors or removing covers. The odor of carbon bisulfid will remain for some hours or even days after the exposure, but after an hour or two of ventilation the gas will not remain in poisonous quantities. The normal price of carbon bisulfid in five gallon cans is about $1 a gallon, not counting the freight from the factory. Large quantities are quoted at the factory in drums at as low as six cents a pound. Everything considered, the expense of fumigating granaries, grain bins and small lots of grains and seeds with carbon bisulfid is insignificant when compared with the damage which the numerous insect pests destructive to grains and other stored products are capable of doing. The United States Department of Agriculture has published a farmers' bulletin (No. 799) which gives detailed information in regard to the use of carbon bisulfid as an insecticide. Any farmer or seedsman who has suffered losses from granary and seed pests should secure a copy of this bulletin, which will be supplied without expense to anyone who applies to the United States Department of Agriculture directly or through its representative or United States senator.

Wash. Equipment for raising sheep on farms need not be expensive. In mild latitudes little housing is needed, and the main need is for fencing and pastures of sufficient number and size to allow frequent changing of flocks to fresh ground to insure health. Where winters are longer and more severe buildings and sheds are necessary to furnish protection from storms, though no special provisions are needed for warmth. Dryness, good ventilation, and freedom from drafts are the first venience, in feeding and shepherding requisites of buildings for sheep. Con must also be held in mind in locating and planning such buildings or sheds PACK HIVES TO PROTECT BEES For wintering bees successfully in the warmer parts of the country the hives may be left out of doors in cases with good insulating material around the sides, top and bottom. Complete directions are given in Farmers' Bulletin 1012, recently issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The packing should not be delayed too long. October being the best time in the north central states. Four colonies are kept on one foundation, according to the bulletin, and are inclosed in one case. Insulating material, such as cork chips, fine shavings, sawdust, dry leaves, and other such substances, should be packed closely 6 to 8 inches thick about the hives. The entrances are kept open by what is known technically as a tunnel. The size of the opening is made smaller as the winter grows colder. The apiary should be protected from wind as much as possible and the case made rain-proof.

A building of this type can also be utilized for fattening purchased lambs to be disposed of before lambing begins in the regular farm flock. A good supply of feed racks, grain troughs, etc., can be provided at small expense and will save labor and prevent waste of feed. vention of the various dangerous cereal diseases may become widespread. On completion of the seed-treatment campaign in the southern states, the agents will return to conduct seed-treatment demonstrations in the states where spring prains are grown, from about February 1 to April 15. Through cooperative work it is hoped to save 10,000,000 bushels of wheat, 30,000,000 bushels of oats and 5,000,000 bushels of barley and rye. COMMITTEES TO CONTROL DISTRIBUTION OF COTTON, BUY FOR UNITED STATES AND CONSIDER PRICES The War Industries Board, in behalf of the Cotton and Cotton Distribution Committees, selected by the War Industries Board and approved by the president, authorizes the following: On September 14 the president issued a statement in connection with the present cotton situation to the effect that a committee would be appointed to devise methods for (a) broadening the channels of distribution and use of the great stock of low grades now practically unmarketable, (b) eliminating speculation andoarding and (c) apportioning the foreign orders; and that it might be a part of this committee's duty to recommend basic prices on cotton, and that if after investigation, it be found necessary a fair price would be fixed. * Arizona’s Greatest Weekly ae A Phoenix, Arizona Published Every Saturday by the Tribune Publishing Company Ee | | Address ait Communications | to! the ° \ PHOENIX TRIBUNE ‘ P. 0, Box 1052, Phoenix, Arizona : pee es ‘fintered as Second-Class Matter June 22, 1918, at the Postoffice at Phoenix, “ ‘Arizona, under Act of March 3, 1879 Business Office, 928 East Jefferson Street Mintiaging Walter eR Smith : Subscription Rates—In Advance Meee ee * I I ihc Sa baa anes otter a esi tern se ieee ee er ee ee : Member National Negro Press Association ” Advertising Rates on Application All Matter for Publication MUST be in our Office by Wednesday evening, 2 ‘ as We go to press on Thursday . | SBE z : PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1918. ‘The progress of civilization is due to the precedent breakers, the brave,men and women who dared to be original, dared to step out of the crowd and think and act for themselves.—Marden, POLITICS IS ADJOURNED Flowery inducements have failed to change the policy of the Phoenix Tribune, In the midst of a hotly contested campaign such as Arizona now witnesses, we believe it is a remarkable showing for a young paper like the ‘Tribune not to “flop” or turn a double somersault, Our aim has been to Jwaintain a strictly non-partisan attitude throughout the conflict. As this ds the last issue that will appear before the election takes place, we think it advisable to inform our readers of ‘the exact position this journal takes. Our advertising columns have been thrown open to both Democrats and Republicans alike. We are delighted to say that a liberal share of patronage has come from both parties. If any of this advertising has been or is now the cause of 'a change in your vote from one political party to the other, then the ‘Tribune has done its full duty. We tell politicians that it depends on the amount of skill employed in the writing of their advertisements as to the results to be obtained. i Our advertising space is for sale at so much per column inch, but the editorial expression of-the Phoenix Tribune is not for sale at any price. We believe this fact is pretty well understood by this time». Long after the pres- ent campaign is over the Tribune expects to operate. Had we soid our birthright for a “mess of porridge”, after the election we would begin to ‘@eteriorate and would soon be lost in oblivion. As it is, we expect to go ‘on and on until some}day the Trijune will be the most popular as well as the greatest weekly ‘in the State. With us, politics is adjourned, now and for all time. To the leading figures in this election, Senator Fred T. Colter and Hon. Thos. EB. Campbell, the Tribune wishes to, say: “May the best man win.” ® ONE THOUSAND NEGROES CALLED FOR NAVY 5 According to press dispatches, Provost Marsha! General Crowder has called for one thousand Colored men for the U. S. Navy. This is a step in the right direction and it will meet the approval of the Colored people every where, ‘The Negro is a soldier in every sense of the word. He is one who can be trusted at all times to give a good account of himself. We are willing to accept this recognition accorded the Negro in this Branch of service to mean that the high officials at Washington are beginning to see that it is like one working against himself, to continue denying the Negro the opporturity to measure up to his full manhood in every depart. ment of this Government. Surely our race is worthy of every confidence that is imposed upon any people or nation at this time. We have never been guilty of giving away, or selling any of the military secrets of this Nation to a foreign foe. We can boast of the fact that none of our race have camouflaged to get into these trusted positions that we might render Service to a foreign foe. e We have always been true when tried. These discriminations forced Uipon us are not the just rewards for our loyalty. ‘The Negro has manned and manipulated every gun this Nation has put ‘6n the field or land. ‘There is no reason why he is incapable of handling ‘the same on sea. In intelligence and mental tests he has always measured up to or surpassed ‘his competitors of other races—WHY KEEP HIM BACK, We see evidences every day of the need of more true Americans, We ‘have a suspicion that too many of our ships are being accidentally “rammed”, or suffer an “explosion” from unknown cause, We dare say that not a ‘Negro was holding a responsible position when these things happen, We should think over these things. Yes, Mr. Daniels, call for us, put us in responsible positions in your Navy. Do not be deceived. We will make just as efficient gunners as any ‘other men.—Exchange. ‘ < HE DIDN’T WAIT He had called to see his best girl. After they had talked until they could not think of any more to say, he declared his intention of kissing her She was indignant and said she would tell her father if he did. Remem- ‘Dering the old saying that “faint heart never won fair lady,” the young ‘man dared, and succeeded in planting a fairly respectable kiss somewhere behind her ear. The young woman arose hastily and walked into the other room, “Pa,” she said, “Mr. Smith wants to see your new gun.” “All right,” said the old man, delighted with the chance of showing his new gun. ‘Taking it from the rack, he stepped into the drawing room. ‘The young man broke four windows in getting out, and when last seen ho was stil! running, bare-headed, down the road. HOW THE FOREST SERVICE Many so-called scrub cows, if fresh- HELPS IN THIS WAR|ened in the fall and given the right The forest service of the United States Department of Agriculture is mobilizing the country’s forest re- ‘Sources for war by helping the war and navy departments and munitions manufacturers get the kinds and quan- tities of wood needed for rifles, air- planes, wheels and other specialties; finding out what kinds and grades of ‘wood are suitable for war-time’s spe- cial requirements; training inspectors of wood materials; improving timber Specifications; and investigating and testing material, processes, and prod- ‘ucts used in manufacture of war sup- plies derived in whole or in part from wood.

PAGE FOUR Many so-called scrub cows, if fresh- ened in the fall and given the right kind of feed and treatment during the winter before coming on grass for the latter part of their lactation period, would prove to be money makers, This seems to be supported fully by rec- ords of cow-testing associations, beanie ts) It We save sugar by spoonfuls, we can send it By shipfuls to “our boys.” Clean up the home pantry before calling on the national pantry.

It was very sad news for Mrs. Connor and our sympathy goes out to her in this dark hour. Mr. Con- ner had lived in Prescott a number of years and wag, formerly employed by the Santa Fe depot in this city. The colored population of this city mourn his loss. Mr. King has been on the sick list the past week. e Master Vernon Rose is home from school and will remain until after the epidemic, Mrs. Lena Gardiner, who has been ill for a long time, passed away on Monday morning, O@t. 21, at 3 a. m. Mr. James Grant has purchased the Depot restaurant, and with: the assis- tance of his wife he is doing a fine business. Mr. Grant expects to re- model the building and make it a first class eating house for our people. Plans have already been laid and the aetual work of reconstructing — the building will begin néxt week. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Neal of Den- ver, Colo., were visitors in the city last week. They came overland in their Cole Eight touring car and spent three days visiting and sightseding. While here, they were the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Young ‘on North Granite street. (Mrs. Hattie Collins, who has been quite Ml the past week is now well on the road to recovery. She wishes to thank the many friends who have been so very kind to her during this recent illness. MESA By S. L. Daniels Mesa, Ariz., Oct. 29.—Spanish influ- enza, which has been so fatal over the state, hag finally reached Mesa and is leaving its mark. It has taken away some of Mesa’s foremost citi zens and is still raging. Among.some of the victims of this dreaded plague are, George Babbitt, our estimable post master and considered by all as the “father” of Mesa; Richard Staniey, former clerk of the Toggery, who was commonly known as “Dick” and with whom the representative of the Tri- Dune was personally acquainted. "Dick as he liked to be catted, was of a jolly, humorous disposition and well liked by all citizens on the south side and especially by tliose of the younger set. Altogether, there have been twelve deaths geported in this sec- tion. Mr, and Mrs. John Roberts, who live on the Spain ranch, three miles northeast of Mesz, have fully recov- cred from a slight attack of the flu. Mr. Jackson Lewis, who lives on Mr. J. J. Harrington’s ranch, is re- ported ill with an attack of influenza. Only three colored people have been attacked with this ailment. S. L. Daniels, shipping clerk with Vance Brothers, was examined inst Thursday night by the medical board in Phoenix and passed “0. K.” He re- ceived notice of his classification, which is Class 1, Group C; and he stands ready to report for special ser- vice at any time. Mr. J. J, Harrington visited his wife and family in Phoenix on last Sunday. He returned Monday and brought his son Edgar with him. Sdgar will spend the week end here, enjoying outdoor life. He has already been initiated into the “Knights of Cotton Pickers.” Quite a group of political aspirants appeared in Mesa recently. They were quietly canyassing for votes.

CHANDLER Chandler, Ariz., Oct. 30.—Mrs, Etem ple Fuller, who spent the summer in Los Angeles, has returned, She brought Master Harold V. aGray with her and he may be found at this home in the future. Mrs. W. T. Gray“of Los Angeles is spending a few weeks at the Gray ranch. Messrs. O'Neil and Perry Williams and Master Tom Crump were visitors in Chandler yesterday. They tried their hand in the cotton field, but failed to stick. Messrs. Jack Gray and Mose Green and Mesdames Fuller and W. T. Gray spent an afternoon hunting. Neediess to say “they brought home the bacon.” Mrs. Jack Gray, Harold Gray and the Green children spent Sunday af- ternoon horseback riding. Mr, Gier, one of the pioneers of Chandler, has quit the game of walk ing and bought himself a Ford. Do as much winter and fall plowing as possble. Every acre that is plowed now means that much saved in time and labor next spring, when the busy season is on. It also permils the fields to take ug the winter/rains and gives a good storage supply of moist: ‘ure for the coming crop. FLAGSTAFF By Reginald Jackson Flagstaff, Ariz., Oct. 29.—The Trib: une’s representative has been em ployed on the Pullgr rarigh, out near the Grand Capyon and it'was Sunday evening before he was able to de liver the Tribune to his customers. My! How the people did enjoy read ing the news Sunday night. . The churches were closed and everybody had to stay home, so the Tribune was heartily welcomed. Mr. Pink Taylor of Clarkdale passed through Flagstaff this week en route to the copper mines of the southern part of the state. Mr. Taylor had just recovered front 2 severe case of pneumonia. Talk about spuds, you should see those growing on the Fuller ranch. He is raising some spuds that are des tined to make Flagstatr famous. The U. S, Food Administration advises ev- erybody to eat lots of spuds and loss meat. Mr. Fuller is seemingly trying to supply the Nation with potatoes. Mr. T. W. Garrison spent a few days at Roger’s Lake last week, bunting ducks. He reports good hunting in that region and extends an invitation to sportsmen to come hither, Whet it comes to shdoting birds oa the wing Mr. Garrison fs a “dead shot”, and hé brought in a punch.of ducks to sub: stantiate this statement. RAY ie Banhie Lewes Ray, Ariz., Oct, 27.—Spanish influ- enza is about, stamped out in Ray. At present, there are only thirty cases. Every one going out or com- ing into Ray is required to produce a health certificate showing that he is free from influenza. k Mrs. Jerry Hinton of Los Angeles spent a few days in camp last week visiting her son and daughter-indaw, Mr. and Mrs. Archic Lewis. She has returned to Phoenix and after spend ing a few days there with her daugh- ter, Mrs. Seotty Oby, she will leave for her home in Los Angeles. Lonnie Harris was arrested and brought before the local kangaroo court on a charge of borrowing some lumber from Anthony Smith, ‘The complaining witness failed to appear and the trial has been postponed un til next week, Anthony says that he didn’t see Lonnie when he borrowed the lumber, so the general: belief is that Lonnie must have borrowed the uate while Anthony was not look- ing. The matter will be thrashed out im court next week. Mrs. J. A. Lewis returned to Ray last Monday after having spent sever- al weeks visiting in Phoenix. In spite of the influenza, which kept the churches and other meeting places closed, Mrs. Lewis says that she en- joyed her visit. Jim Coleman, who is working as a pipefitter for the Ray. Con, suffered a very painful, though not serious acci o~ last week. His hand was caught between two big teninch pipes and his_thumb was very badly crushed. Jim went to the doctor's office at ence and had his thumb dressed and re- turned to work, He says a little thing like that won't keep him off the job. On the “Ray Front" General Mose ‘Davis feports that none of his men ‘gave been captured by “General Flu" during his great. offensive. Mose says ‘that he has a hard time trying to keep his Company in ammunition. He also states that oe supply that ate in will be uhder his persona! supervision. By so doing, he hopes to keep the men from drinking it up too fast. YUMA By Mrs. E. E.

Mr. Washington had only a slight attack as he has been seen on the streets. _ Mrs, Elam and Mr. A. R. Ross have recovered from an attack of influenza. | A very delightful card party~ was given last week at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Thorton. It was given in honor of Mrs, Callie Jones, who left the next day for Portland, Ore. A @elicious three-course luncheon was served and every one enjoyed the af- fair. | Troop “M”, 10th Cavalry, stationed at Naco, Ariz., subscribed seven thou- sang, nine hundred dollars to the Fourth Liberty loan; You do not have to search for patriotism among “our boys,” they are all patriotis and 100 ber cent loyal. For some unexplained reason the agent's copies of the Tribune did not arrive Saturday and disappointment was the order of the day. Every body was calling for a copy of the Tribune, but only tite copies sent to regular subseribers were obtainable, The Phoenix Tribune means something to the people of this community and they miss it very much. We want to say to the editor: “Please see to it that this does not occur again.” (Blame the postal authorities. We mailed them.—Ed.) Bisbee, Ariz., Oct. 29.—Mr. Jobn Brown of Los Angeles is in the city for a short visit. Mr. and Mrs, Will Brown are new arrivals from New Mexico. Mr. Brown has accepted a position at the B. P. & S.

E. Newell Tueson, Ariz., Oct. 29.—We can re- joice in the fact that while all of this country has been. seized by Spanish influeza, our people in Tucson are keeping’ up nicely. Only three cases of this disease haye been reported among our people, and they are very slight cases at that. Mrs, Alice Makey and daughter and Mr. George Green are the three people who are afflicted with this disease. They are reported doing nicely. Mesdames Laura King and Fannie Keys were thought to have been at- tacked by influenza. If so, they have speedily recovered and are now doing fine. 7 Mr. Berry Kay is now a happy man because of the fact that his wife, who has been out ¢f the city a few weeks at the bedside of ‘her sick sister in El Paso, Texas, has returned and brought her sick sister with her. Mrs, Kay brought her sister here so that she could give her the proper care and attention in her own home and at the same time, administer smiles to her husband. | An enjoyable affair was given by Mrs. Fred Miles and Mrs. Walter Tay- lor last ‘Thursday evening at 526 N.

Pe ¥ When a man has something to sell you, you want to know what advantage there is in buying what he offers in place of something else. . When a man runs for office you are buying , something—public service. It is either good public service, cheap at any price, or else poor service, cost- ly no matter how cheap. In this: case the salary you will pay your office- “holders is the same but the TAXES YOU PAY be- cause of their MANAGEMENT OF YOUR, PUB- LIC AFFAIRS is a direct reflection as to the ability of those you elect. : In these war time days waste is a crime. It is a duty and a privilege to make every cent of public money count so that there may be that much more for investment in Liberty Loans, Thrift Stamps, the Red Cross, United Welfare War Work and such pa- triotic things. * We are- asking you to vote for the republican county ticket because we honestly believe our candi- dates will bring you the most for your dollar in public service. We believe, if elected, they will ad- minister your public business in the most economical way, proper results desired being considered. Our candidates are men of experience who have made successes of their own-affairs and they will do like- wise in handling your public business, All we ask is for you, the voter, to investigate their qualifica- tions and then to decide whom you want to manage your public offices as you want them managed. 3 Respectfully submitted, REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMIT- TEE FOR MARICOPA COUNTY.

We no longer fight with armies. Whole nations now plunge into the fray; millions of men manage the ma- }chinery of destruction; battle fronts Jate measured by the boundary lines of states. All the people of all the ‘countries comprise the fighting forces, ‘because all the contentions of the past ‘fre crystallized in the issues of this ‘war. These have their center in the ‘Single issue: Autocracy against de- yocracy. Both can not survive. One must die, To this land, whose century and a half of political, religious and civie freedom has been ihe inspiration of the Old World to be born anew, the children of an ancient order plead for liberation with suppliant hearts. ‘This great, tremendous force, endowed with the consciousness of power that liberty alone can give, has responded with giant blows. It has volunteered its manhood, it has contributed its skill, it has proffered its wealth—it has done much. ‘The continuity of liberty rests upon our people, more than upon any other, for autocracy, sheltered by its mili- tarism, desperate in its death throes, will strike its hardest against its most virile foe. That foe is American liberty, ‘Thus every human unit in America has its burden to bear. Each is a Part of the fighting force. Every shell that is fired by the man in arms must be reinforced; every gun which thrusts the enemy back must be ‘sup- ported by reserves; every ship which Sails the seas must be laden with car- 0, and manned by sailors. This is labor's part in the war machine. La or’ is confronted with a mighty task, * ‘The lives of our soldiers are in the keeping of these workers, ‘These fighting sons ot our nation have shouldered their guns and have gone into battle with songs on their lips; they have astounded the world with the vigor of their blows; they have made the supreme sacrifice glo- riously. These soldier boys, these chums of Yesterday, must be assured that la- bor, shall meet its stupendous task at home with the same patriotic spirit ‘that moved them when they faced the enemy on the battlefield, ‘That assurance will be best reflect- ed in the abolishing of willful absen- teeism and in the reduction of the un- Justified labor turnover. ‘These are the great industrial evils cf today.

Nuts are unique in being prac- tically the only class of products ‘Which, without being cooked or other- Wise especially prepared, offer a com- Plete food 8 the human family, says the United States Department of Ag- riculture, In many parts of the coun- try families considerable money ‘during the pb ‘winter evenings by cracking black walnuts and_ butler- juts and ‘selling the kernels. During the winter of 1917-18 the price to the farmers ranged from 25 to 30 cents ‘per pound The hard shells not the husks, of black ‘walnuts, butternuts, hickory nuts, Persion (English) walnuts, Jap- anese walnuts, and the seeds of such fruits as peaches, plums, prunes, apri- cots, and olives are exceedingly use- ful in the making of carbon for gas ‘masks. The shells of pecans and al- ‘monds cannot be used, Seven pounds of hard nut shells, or 200 peach pits, will make enough car- bon for one gus mask. Thousands of tons of cocoanut shells and shells of ‘cohune nuts from tropical America, and carloads of fruit pits from the Pa- cafle Coast are being used, Still the supply is not sufficient. ‘With an army of 4,000,000 men in prospect, it is evident that to provide every man with even one gas mask will require 28,000,000 pounds of nut shells or the equivalent. County agents and field men of the United States Department of Agricul- ture are urged to put in a word when- ‘ever possible to stimulate the saving and assembling of such material. As a result of the campaign already launched barrels have -been placed in conspicuous places in many cities and towns as depositorie, and large quan- tities of material are being brought to- gether. In practically all of the eastern states many thonsand bushels of black walnuts, butternuts, and hickory nuts annually go to waste because of not being harvested. ‘These should all be gathered and wherever practicable the best should be cracked and the Kernels used as food. Nuts which cannot readily be cracked, ‘those which have become stale with age, or those which have failed to develop plump kernels, should be turned over to the Red Cross. Black walnuts and ‘butternuts which are not to be cracked may be sent in without removing the outer husk. Arrangements for gath- ering and shipping nuts, nut shells and fruit pits can be made through the jJocal Red Cross. BEGIN TO RAISE HOGS | Those who have not been raising ‘their pork and bacon should get a gilt a8 soon as possible and begin. It is hard to estimate the value of a good brood sow. Take a purebred sow that produces two litters of pigs a year, and at the present prices for breeding stock and pork you can read- ily see the value of such an animal. Since the gilt must be bought, it would be more economical in the end to buy a pure-bred gilt and raise good pigs. Registered stock is in good demand at the present time in this state. As a rule pure-bred sows or gilts are bet- ter feeders and will respond better to good care than scrubs, At the com- paratively low cost of pure-bred swine as compared with purebred cattle all swine should be purebred but not necessarily registered, With a bred gilt or one to be bred to farrow early in the spring it need not take one long to raise enough hogs for the farm meat supply Why should we import German frankfurters? The home cur- ing of meats and making of pork spe- eljalties invites careful consideration. Every producer of pork should cure his own hams and sides—that is, enough to meet the demands of his own household and his hired family labor. Hogs will turn pasture and grain into more meat than any other @nimals and do it most economically at all.” They should have a place on every farm, large and small.

It has been demonstrated beyond ques- tion that the most needed thing in the soils of Arizona is humus, and par- ticularly is this true with reference to our orchard lands which in most cases are light and sandy, ‘The presence of humus makes a soil betteraerated and enables it to retain a greater amount of moisture—an item of no little con- sequence to the fruit grower as well as the general farmer. While anything will produce humus “from a broom straw to a fence rail” if turned into the soil, the cheapest and most satisfactory method of sup- plying this material is through the growing of cover crops. Furthermore, if leguminous covers are used, an add- ed yalue is secured in that nitrogen, the element of plant food most lacking in our soils and most needed in the development of tree growth and size ‘of fruit, is supplied. Among the legumnious cover crops that might be planted during October are Crimson clover, bur clover, sour clover (mel- lotus Indica), vetch, and Canadian field peas.. Non-legumes are rye, bar- ley and oats. Do not deprive your orchard of the benefits to be derived fram the growing’ of one of these crops. Plant it mow!—F. J. Crider, Horticulturist, Agr. Exp. Station, U. of A. ee COTTONSEED MEAL MORE NUTRITIOUS THAN COTTON. SEED FEED; WORTH MORE Cottonseed meal contains more pro- tein, the chiet food constituent of cot ton seed, and less fiber than does cottonseed feed Cottonseed meal is generally recognized as a product of the cotton seed only, composed prin- cipally of the kernel, with sueh por- tions of the hull as is necessary in the manufacture of oil, and as con- taining at least 36 per cent protein. Cottonseed feed, which. may more properly be labeled “cottonseed meat and hulls,” is generally recognized as & mixture of cottonseed meal and cot- tonseed hulls, containing less than 36 per cent protein. If to cottonseed meal, as defined above, cottonseed hulls are added, the mixture cannot be labeled as cottonseed meal under the terms of the Federel Food and Drugs Act and the food laws of many states. Buyers should distinguish earefully between cottonseed meal and cotton- seed feed, according to officials of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Deparment of . Agriculture.’ While éottonsecd feed containing a, reasonable quantily of cottonseed meal is a good feed, the hulls have very low feeding: value as compared with the meal. The mixture having less food value should sell fora less price than cottonseed meal. Buyers in many instances failing to distin- guish between cottonseed meal and cottonseed feed have paid as much, or nearly as much, for the feed as for the meal, ‘This has been the case especially when the, manufacturer of cottonseed feed has sold it under the designation “cottonseed feed meal.” SELECT YOUR SEED CORN | Experience, especially that of farm- ers. during the past year, should be sufficient to make most of them save fenough seed corm not only for them- selves for planting the field ailotied for corn next year, but also a sur- plus for disposal jo.others who may find their seed of poor quality next sprmg. Several thousand farmefs were inconvenienced last spring be- cause of a shortage of good seed corn, and those who had a surplus received @ good price. Several states have been holding seed corn selection cam- paigns during September and thou- sands of bushels of seed corn have been Bolontet in this movement car- ried on by {the State Agricultural Colleges through their extension forces, and especially by the county agents. There is still time for those who have not selected their seed’ corn to make the. best of it, and lay aside a_supply of the’ best seed corn now available. Farmers generally realize that the best time to select seed corn is be- fore severe fall frosts. However, if it is too late to go through the field before husking the crop and select from standing stalks, an effort should be made to save the best clirs while husking, In the corn belt a small box may be carried on side or at rear end of the wagon box for carrying the ears selected for seed. It is especially de- sirable that the geed ears be selected from the standing stalk in order that it may be possible to reproduce from stalks of the best type which have produced good ears, In those regions where corn is cut ‘early for husking trom the shock, it is impossible to judge whether the 00d looking ear was grown under more favorable conditions, such as ‘upon a stalk standing alone, yen when husked from the shock, selection ‘before putting the corn in crib is still preferable, because it will then be more likely to be stored carefully, thereby insuring a higher percentage of germination in the spring, and con. sequently a better stand and a larger yield, CATTLEMEN HUNT FOR FEED: “The size of the haystacks will rep- resent the number of animals in many of the cow outfits next spring,” says R. H. Williams, animal husbandman of the University of Arizona. “Condi- tions are most serious for the febd has tiried up and heavy losses will be sus- tained, Even if cattle are shipped to market or to pastures a certain loss will be inevitable “in order to reduce this loss. to a minimum it is best to maintain the stock on their home range and ship cotton seed cake to them. This can be secured from the various. cotton off mills. ‘The cake alone given in quantities of one to three pounds a @ay, would be suffi- cient to tide cows over the drought’ if they can secure browse, water and salt along with ff. Some roughage should be used where there fs no browse.” THIS $35.00 DIAMOND | NZ ara (Smo) maa eo » a = Will Be Given ‘ To the TRIBUNE REPRESENTATIVE that sends in the great- est amount in subscriptions before midnight, December 7, 1918, we will give a $35 diamond, absolutely free, Your Unlimtted Field Everybody enjoys reading The PHOENIX TRIBUNE.

THE DIAMOND IS NOW ON DISPLAY IN THE WINDOW —AT— SHELDON’S JEWELRY 106 North First Avenue, Phoenix ’ ARIZONA’S GREATEST WEEKLY Too Much Grazing Starts Soil Washing; May Eventually Lead to Total Ruin of Good Ranges ‘Excessive grazing, which injures the vegetative cover, will frequently per- mit erosion to get a start on the range, and valuable pasturage will be changed by the elements to barrén land, ac- cordnig to Bulletin 675, “Range, Pres- ervation and Its Relation to Erosion Control on Western Grazing Lands,” recently published by the United States Department of Agriculture, 1 is a case of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. While to- pography, climate and soil are factors in determining erosion, the combina- Hon of these factors with the vege- tative growth is such that erosion is slight where the natural conditions have not been disturbed, and may be made gerious by any influence which upseis the balance established by na- ture, Numerous instances are on ree- ord where serious erosion was un- known until the grougd cover was largely destroyed, and in localities where destroyed vegetation has been reestablished serious erosion has been stopped. The reestablishment of vege- tation, the bulletin points ont, is ex- tremély difficult, The importance of preserving the upper few inches on the high ranges and with it the vegetative cover, in order to regulate the stream flow, to maintain indefinitely the forage cover for grazing, and incidentally to pre- vent destructive erosion, is not always fully appreciated by the stockman and farmer. The farmer stockman can ot afford to do without feed from the Mi. ‘The temporary larger profits that might be derived from over-graz- ing would soon be offset by the loss of the souree of feed supply which would result. ‘ Small Start Makes Large Loss Three or four seasons of excessively heavy grazing on a watershed will usually give the elements a chance to start their destructive work. Erosion, with its rush of water and debris, fre- quently ruins the land where the debris is deposited and puts out of commission roads, trails, power plants and other improvements. In many lo- calities loss of property from this source has been appalling. The preventative measures given in the bulletin are deferred and rotation grezing, artificial seeding (in choice sites only), and proper control and distribution of stock. Where the de- pletion of the soil and the formation of long-established gullies make thor- ough revegetation impossible, destruc- tive floods and erosion may be con- trolled by the total exclusion of stock, by terracing and planting, and by the construction of dams. Much more than half the battle of preserving range is preventing erosion from getting started. Where it has full play for a number of years the at- tempted reestablishment of the grotind cover, even though grazing is discon- tinued, does not always give adequate results. In such instances, which for- tunately are relatively rare in this country, extreme measures, such as the combination of terracing and planting, or, in exceptional cases, the construction of dams are justified. EE a, REDUCE LOSSES FROM RAV- AGES OF SCREW-WORMS R, W. Wells, special field agent of the Bureau of: Entomology’ of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, while carrying on work in Ari- zona, recently, with the Agricultural Extension Service, gave consideration to the important livestock pest known as the serew-worm. In Arizona, as in many parts of the southwest, it was found that many stock owners gave very little attention to the source of screw-worm troubles; that is, the car- casses of various animals. Much time and money are spent in a large part of the state in the treatment of screw- worm cases, and losses due to the actual death of livestock and the re- duction in growth resulting from the attack of this pest amount to many thousands of dollars annually. All screw-worm flies breed in decay. ing animal matter and with concerted action in the destruction of carcasses, the screw-worm troubles can be prac- tically eliminated. The Bureau of En- lomology is recommending the burn- ing of catcasses wherever possible. This is not a difficult job, as many stockmen belleve. The best proced- ure to follow is to dig a trench along the back of the careass about eighteen inches wide and fourteen, inches deep and slightly longer than the animal. Fill this trench with wood and\roll the carcass over on top of it. Start a fire at the windward end, and usually no further attention is necessary but to fold the legs and head back into the middle of the trench after the fire has PAGE FIVE been allowed to burn for a few hours. one-quarter of a cord of wood and an hour's time under ordinary conditions will suffice to dispose of any carcass, ‘This not only prevents the breeding of myriads of serew-worms flies but also aids. in the control of dangerous diseases, such as anthrax and black- leg. . Proper bural of large carcasses is usually more expensive than burning. It should be kept in mind that flies emerge freely from carcasses if not buried fully two fect deep. The cee of trouble from wool maggots will also result from thorough and general carcass destruc- tion. : It is also advisable to castrate and have calves come at such esasons as to avoid the screw-worms.

The latter is a member of the State Board of Health and’ stated that no charge should be made for this service; that it is being done free all over the state. He immedic ately put a stop to it, and announces that vaccination is free at the school hospital at certain hours. It is said that the names of those who have paid for it are being sought with a view of returning their money. We believe that Dr. Wilkinson is getting $200 ‘and expenses per month from the gov- ernment, which amounts to about '$10 per day, and it would seem that a man should be able to live on that sum during these times of stregs.—Hol- brook Tribune, Oct. 17, 1918. PAGE SIX COLORED AMERICANS IN THE WAR WORK Issued From Office of Emmett J. Scott Special Asst. to Secty. of War. Washington, D. C. October 29. There are now fifty colored chap- lains in the United States army. The September call for selective drafttees, issued by Provost Marshal General Crowder, included 29,016 colo- red men. In the total of 1,900,000 American troops sent overseas, a goodly propo- tion may be accredited to the Negro race. This total was given by the War Department officials at a recent hear- ing before the House Committee or military affairs. Many press reports, commenting on the American army in France, intimate that the Germans have a whole some fear of colored troops in action. General Pershing is lavish in his praise of the colored soldiers and has testified officially that they show marvelous coolness under shell fire, and an entire regiment, as well as individual colored soldiers, has been cited for decorations of honor. Preliminary to the recent session of the National Baptist Convention at St. Louis, a patriotic meeting was held at the Coliseum, in the course of which 10,000 enthusiastic colored people proclaimed their loyalty to the United States. A long parade, a chorus of 200 voices and a program of stirring addresses and songs, featured the celebration. The general theme of the orators embodied a review of the part which the American Neiro is playing in the destiny of the nation from the time that slavery was first introduced, through the Civil and Spanish-American wars, into the present conflict. A canteen has been established by the colored women of New York City at Numbers 4 and 6 West 131st Street for the exclusive patronage of colored soldiers and sailors. Spacious accommodations where the men may read and write and have their meals served at cost, are provided. The canteen is officially known as Canteen No. 5, of the Mayor's Committee, and is operated by a committee of public-spirited colored people of Harlem, under the leadership of Mrs. E. C. Goode. Such canteens are being established in many cities and they are doing a mint of good for our soldiers and sailors. The War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities has made provisions for the entertainment of a Labor Battalion of about 1,000 colored troops which has been sent to Camp Kearney, Linda Vista, Cal., for sanitation work around the camp. The battalion is made up of colored men unfit for overseas duty by reason of minor physical disabilities. Conservative estimates place the number of colored soldiers now in the United States army establishment or both sides of the ocean at little less than 400,000. Detroit, Michigan, has opened a well-appointed club house for colored soldiers at 282 St. Antoine street. Mrs. E. D. Trowbridge is chairman of the committee in charge. Roscoe S. Douglas, of the Detroit Uban League, is general director. At a recent meeting of the California Federation of Colored Women's clubs at Los Angeles, the Governor of the State delivered an address that stirred the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The Governor was escorted to the platform by William Edgar Easton, the well known journalist, orator and literate-author of "Dessalines", etc.—and member of the speakers' committee of 100 for California. Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, of St Louis, is state organizer for the Colored Women's War Savings Commission of Missouri. Mrs. Rippin, of the War Community Service, in charge of the protective work for girls, is planning to place colored protective workers in Chilicothe, Ohio, and Rockford, Ill. just as soon as the salaries are available for these positions. Camps Sher man and Grant, respectively, are located near these cities. The colored man now holding the highest rank in the regular army in Licutenant-Colonel Benjamin Oliver Davis, a native of Washington, D. C. stationed with the 9th Cavalry in the Philippines. He has seen service in Mexico and a number of points in this country and won distinction as a military attache of the United States in Liberia. He was in the Spanish-American war and won his way up from the ranks through sheer merit. The seasoned 10th United States Cavalry has been doing some effective work in repulsing Mexican aggressions on our border in the southwest. Home Colored Female War Worker It is highly encouraging to note that the colored women of Chester, Pennsylvania, acting under the auspices of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs of which Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett is president, and Mrs. Rebecca Aldridge of Pittsburg, Pa., honorary president, have purchased a building to be used as a home for women of the Race who are doing war work in the many corporations in and near the city of Chester, Pann. This property will also be used as a center for governmental activities, viz: American Red Cross, Colored Women's unit of the National Council of Defense, etc. This is the first effort on the part of the women in said city to do something definite along this particular line, although they have been working faithfully ever since they were called upon to help. This splendid achievement should be an inspiring example to colored women in every city where any appreciable group of them reside. A formal opening of the building question will be held October 30th November 1st. Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Washington, D.C., and other prominent persons have been invited to deliver special addresses upon said occasion. The officers of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs are as follows: Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, president; Mrs. Laura A. Brown, vice-president; Mrs. R. Evelyn Payne, recording secretary; Mrs. Ida S. Wright, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Fannie E. Morton, treasurer; Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, organizer. Chester is one of the leading manufacturing centers of Pennsylvania and a splendid opportunity for usefulness is open to the patriotic and aggressive colored women of the vicinity. A hostess house has been opened through the War Camp Community Service at Augusta, Ga., where Camp Hancock is located. Money has been raised to support a colored worker for girls in connection with this useful center. Mrs. Frances Berry Coston, a teacher in the public schools of Indianapolis, Ind., and special correspondent of the Indianapolis News on the activities of the colored people, has been designated by the War Department as a reporter of the work of the colored women of the Hoosier capital in the war work of the nation. The new Y. W. C. A. Hostess House for colored women at Camp Dodge, Iowa, is expected to be ready for occupancy this month. The building is located at the extreme south end of the camp. A complete staff of colored women will be in charge to act as hostesses and secretaries. The National Y. W. C. A. will send out these workers. The colored men and women of Oklahoma have organized a Council of Defense, as an auxiliary to the organization operated by the white citizens and very satisfactory progress is being made. The women's branch is in charge of Mrs. Nellie B. Henderson, of Oklahoma City. OUR BLACK BOYS WITH THEIR SHORT SHOT-GUNS—U. S. A.

And to the whole round world did show They really meant for Huns to go. SALARIES PAID TO PRINCIPAL OFFICERS OF UNITED STATES The salaries of the principal officers of the United States government are as follows: The president, $75,000 a year; vice-president, $12,000; members of the cabinet, $12,000; representatives in congress, $7,500; speaker of the house, $12,000; United States senators, $7,500; chief justice of supreme court, $15,000; each associate justice, $14,500. In the diplomatic service twelve ambassadors are each paid $17,500 a year; five ministers are each paid $12,000, and 23 ministers are each paid $10,000. An authority says: "It is a matter of common knowledge that certain posts, especially in the diplomatic service, entail expenses so much in JUDGE SAMES THINKS CAMPBELL WILL BE ELECTED ON NOV. That Tom Campbell will be elected governor of Arizona by a majority of 5,000 is the prediction of Judge Albert M. Sames, Republican state chairman, who has just returned from a tour which took him into every county in Arizona. Judge Sames found that in every county the old Hunt and anti-Hunt lines have been closely drawn and that it is generally understood that Fred Colter is the Hunt candidate. Judge Sames believes that 7,500 Democrats in Arizona will vote for Tom Campbell this year, because they believe he was counted out when justly elected and because of their desire to smash the Hunt machine. Judge Sames, who lives at Douglas, predicts that Tom Campbell will carry Cochise county and that he will get a larger majority in Maricopa county than he received two years ago when that county went over the top with 3494. He also believes that Colter will lose his home county of Apache. Here is the way Judge Sames has figured it out from personal observation in each county: Campbell Colter Apache 100 Navajo 150 Coconino 250 Mohave 250 Yavapal 4,000 Yuma 250 Pima 750 Gila 750 Graham 250 Greenlee 250 Santa Cruz 100 Pinal 150 Cochise 250 6,500 1,500 Campbell's majority 5,000 AMERICAN NEGROES REFUSE TO GO IN GERMAN TRAP Had it occurred to you, the universal loyalty of our colored citizens? Have you ever met a colored man in this country who was a pro-German? Do you even know anyone who thinks he has actually seen one? I have personally made this inquiry in the South in New England, on the Pacific coast, and here at home in the central West, and have arrived at the firm conviction "There ain't no such animal" as a pro-German American colored man. When the big war started and Bernstorff let loose his long and carefully prepared plans of arson, homos, strikes, and general confusion in this country, on of the most dastardly schemes on which his boss depended, was an uprising of the nine million colored people in the South. The effort was well organized, bountifully supplied with money, was operated with great secrecy, and at first was carried, on outside the larger southern cities. All sorts of impossible rewards were promised; the blacks were to own and rule the South; every sort of poison lie was used to tempt the colored people into a revolt against the whites. It was expected and hoped this revolt would keep this country busy for the duration of the war. Of all this, people in the North heard very little. To the everlasting credit of the colored people they refused to be led into the trap, and like the proposed revolution in India and Egypt and some other countries, the plot miserably failed. At last we entered the war. What then of the colored man? When voluntary enlistment was offered, he responded promptly and in large numbers. During the Civil War, it was no infrequent part of a northern general's report of a battle that "the colored troops fought bravely." The reports which are reaching us of the colored troops in France include more than "fought bravely"—they fight magnificently. A letter from an officer describing such a regiment going "over the top" is a picture worth painting. Bare-headed, shirts unbuttoned or no shirts at all, with the most unearthly yells, as demons let loose, they went at the enemy like a cage of wild lions released. These boys from the cotton and cane fields like best to fight with the bayonet, which Fritz enjoys least of all, but in hand-to-hand combat they fall back on their trusty razor or knife, in the use of which they are more than proficient. The staunchest Hun is said to quail and run before one of these dusky giants bent on carving a map of Florida on a fat German face, or a delta of the Mississippi on his throat. Yes, the colored troops are still "fighting bravely."—Popular Mechanics. excess of the salary paid that they can be accepted only by men of wealth.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING THE NEGRO AFTER THE WAR Farm Congress Considers Returning Soldiers' Weal sired. You will b time of the By E. J. Moore The war is going to work many changes in the Negro race. Before the war began the Negro for the most part lived in the South, and it seemed well nigh impossible to think of his living anywhere else in any considerable numbers. Heretofore the Negro has taken very little stock in emigration; he contented himself with living in one great group in the southern portion of the United States. But when the war is over the Negro is going to get the moving habit just as other peoples have done under similar circumstances. In short, the Negro is going wherever he believes he can better his condition. All sections of this country are going to receive a goodly portion of the Negro population from the South. And, besides, they are even going to foreign countries in considerable numbers. In other words the Negro is going where conditions are most congenial; whether north, east, west, or abroad. But you may rest assured that he is going to be on the move. Of course there will be a large number that will remain in the South; some from choice, others because they can't help themselves. France will, in all probability, claim the greater number of those who emigrate from this country, with Great Britain a close second. It is probable that nearly every European country will be represented by the advent of the American Negro. This is not new; such changes always follow great international struggles. And the Negro is so interwoven in the present conflict that he cannot fail to be affected thereby. There are great moral issues at stake in this world war that are going to have a marvelous effect upon the Negro. He is fighting to make the world safe for democracy, but that is not the only fight he is making. He is also fighting to make the world a safe place for himself to live in. It is also plainly evident that the Negro's educational advantages are going to be looked after more carefully after this war. There is going to be a general educational awakening, the effect of which will be far-reaching. Indeed, it is not improbable that the government may assume operation of the schools, especially where the facilities are far from being adequate. Leading Negroes throughout the country have long felt that the Federal Government should take a hand in the educational work of the country, and this now seems very probable. Ignorance is our greatest handicap. 12,000,000 Negroes can be a power if they were only educated. Another thing the Negro is going to have is access to military training. It is very essential that the Negro, as well as other nationalities, should have the most thorough military training of the age, so that he can the more effectively do his part when he is called upon to defend is country. In fact the government has already established military training in conjunction with other college studies in leading institutions with a view to continuing them for an indefinite period. Every race that has attained any boys are writing their names indelibly on the pages of history in their brilliant fighting at the front, while the world looks on in amazement. And here at home we are trying to bask them up by our assistance in the Liberty Loan drive and other movements, the Negroes of Philadelphia alone raising $5,000,660. All of these things point unmistakably to the fact that the Negro is going to come out of this war the wiser and better for having participated in it. In short he will feel as never before that he is a ful-fledged American who rendered his country every possible service that could be expected of him; and therefor will be justly entitled to a seat at the "welcome table," around which all will sit as a fitting climax to world democracy. GOD BLESS OUR BOYS (Tune, "America") God bless our soldier boys, Watch o'er them over there; God bless our boys. Help them to win this war, For truth and righteousness, They love our country true, God bless our boys. Farm Congress Considers Returning Soldiers' Weal Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 21st, 1918. To the Honorable Geo. W. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona. Pursuant to my appointment by you as delegate to represent the state of Arizona at the congress of the International Farm Congress, I have the honor to report: The joint session of the congress was convened in Kansas City, Mo., on the 17th day of October, 1918, at which time the permanent amalgamation of the International Irrigation Congress and the International Farm Congress was effected, and incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado. Thus it will be seen that these two organizations, so fruitful in their pats efforts, now go forward with increased power and vigor to carry out the plans of the federal government entrusted to them. Just what the requirements of our government will be from the greater congress remains, in detail, unknown at the present moment, but we may safely assume that its duties will be fundamentally that of a clearing house or intermediate information bureau, between the federal government and the several states. The chief object and purpose of the conference was to meet with the representatives of the secretary of the interior, and to hear from them the plans proposed by the federal authorities for the land settlement of such soldiers returning from war service as may elect to establish homes for themselves in the various states. Dr. Elwood Meads, head of the California Farm Settlement Association, and Arthur P. Davis, director of United States Reclamation Service, represented the secretary of the interior. From their speeches and informal conversation I gather the following: 'The federal government asks the loyal support and cooperation of each state in this, the greatest of all undertakings, for the welfare of the men at the battle front, and I may add that the scope of the proposed soldier farm settlement movement is so great as to promise, for the time being, the enormous expenditure of money, to say nothing of administration expense in connection therewith It is proposed that the states will furnish the land to such soldiers as indicate a desire to settle and make homes therein. The tracts to be from 40 to 160 acres in extent, and to be land of such a type and physical value as to give the settler an assurance of a proper and life sustaining livelihood. Such lands, if not already owned by the state, shall be purchased by the state for the purpose of soldier settlement. The project also proposes to finance the settler, to the end that he may make a start under the most favorable conditions—help him to the purchase of equipment, livestock or any other thing or things necessary to his well being—to keep him under a sort of parental guidance if necessary, in the art of husbandry and to give him the full opportunity to make good for himself, and become a valuable new member of the state as well. It is proposed that the United States government will finance the undertaking, relying upon the several states to provide the legal machinery, through which they may become coordinate with the government in the vast undertaking. A federal appropriation of $1,000,000 is already asked of congress for the survey of the project; this fund to be immediately available. By means of soil drainage, irrigation, clearing and other agencies of reclamation, the government proposes at once to proceed with scientific investigation and construction of all projects which will add to the desired land resources of the state and nation. It will be seen from the foregoing that this plan for soldier land settlement involves the working out of an administrative system, which will successfully determine and dispose of the many complex features which will naturally arise in a program of such vast magnitude. To accomplish this and to further supply the machinery for carrying out that program, a meeting of the executive committee of the International Farm Congress, a committee composed of one member from each state, will be soon called in Washington, D. C., at which time the federal government will have prepared the frame work for the soldier land settlement program, and at which time it is hoped the several states may be allotted their share of the great responsibility. It is needless for me to say that I have promised the conference that our great state would loyally and cheerfully respond to the call of the federal government with its usual and characteristic spirit. It is probable that the task of carrying out the government program will fall to the various state councils of defense, except in such states as may have regularly organized land departments or land commissions. This naturally follows the line of reason that state land departments are equipped with the necessary information and experience to at once meet with the federal requirements, along the line of the land information de- INTERESTS EVERYBODY!

On about 5000 representative farms scattered throughout the United States, reporting to the Bureau of Crop Estimates, the decline in the number of cattle was 0.8 per cent from last July 1 to August 1, 2.9 per cent in hogs, and 3.3 per cent in sheep. Saturday, November 2, 1918 STORY OF NEGRO NOT WRITTEN; IT LIES UPON SOIL By P. A. Glanton in Half-Century Magazine When William of Orange saw Louis the fourteenth cover Holland with pops he said "Break down the dykes,ave Holland back to the ocean," and Europe said "Sablime!" When the enemies of France descended upon Russia there was a cry of "Burn Moscow,carve the invaders." And Europe said, "Sablime!" This black man saw Europe against him, and his race are off its own fetters, forged them to swords and won the liberty thru sea of blood on the battlefields, but on. His last words uttered to his son in France were "My boy go back St. Domingo and forget that France murdered your father." He risked his empire rather than permit the slave trade on his dominion. What of the American Negro as a soldier? No attempt has been made to reserve a record of the services and the sufferings of the Colored soldiers in the Revolution. Their history is not written; it lies upon the soil, watered with their blood. And what is true of the history of the Negro's bravery in the Revolution is true of him in every war in the history of this country. From the streets of Boston, where Chrispus Attucks gave his life' for Democracy, to the shell torn trenches of Europe, truly he has watered the soil with his blood. At Bunker Hill Peter Salem, an ex-slave, emptied the contents of his gun into the body of Major Pitcairn, an English officer, killing instantly. This brave act checked the British advance and saved the day. A Negro soldier by the name of Prince was a member of Col. Barton's expedition at Newport, and was instrumental in the success of that mid- Prominent Powerful The Stat Prominent Colored Man Writes Powerful Endorsement of 100 The State Insurance Amendment By PROFESSOR CICERO SIMMONS Laurence Dunbar School Tuson Arizona Some colored people say that us because it refers to miners or reason that the Amendment embri and kinds of occupations, running ing, automobiling, mining, farm road building to ditch digging, others to come in who may desi men are operating mines in Arizona.

Some colored people say that Amendment 100 doesn't interest us because it refers to miners only. That is hardly true, for the reason that the Amendment embraces twenty-seven different classes and kinds of occupations, running from broom or brush manufacturing, automobiling, mining, farming, school teaching, laundrying, road building to ditch digging, and the way is left open for all others to come in who may desire to do so. Again, some colored men are operating mines in Arizona, and more will be. As a union carpenter the new proposed Amendment 100 interests me bacuse it replaces the present inadequate compensation law, and provides adequate insurance to the employer and a guarantee of fair compensation to the injured workman. The present law does not furnish a State Insurance, but the proposed Amendment 100 provides a state insurance for the employee at no cost to himself and at actual cost to the employer.1 A number of local and out-of-town requests have come recently to me to write something about Amendment 100. At the outset, I must state that, however trite and provincial it might seem to be, the fact remains that any new proposed legislative measure or constitutional amendment interests or gets the attention of the colored people proportionate to the amount of benefits it offers or will give us as well as the community along the lines for which the proposed new law stands, and I doubt if this characteristic is peculiar to the Negro race alone, but is true of all units or branches of the human family. It is but the practical operation of the universal law: Self-preservation, the first law of Nature—"safety first" if you please. And you don't blame us, for you do the same yourself, ch! But I must pass on. An impartial study of Amendment 100 shows, it seems to me, that the measure is not a political one, but if enacted, would undoubtedly be both mutually and equitably beneficial, on a whole, to all the people of Arizona. Of course there would be some people helped who would not realize it. And even, perchance, they found they were benefitted they would not admit it. 1 mean the habitual knockers. Representatives of Labor and Capital mutually claim that the present Compensation law is unsatisfactory because the scale of payments for injuries is far too low. A brief comparison of payments which are provided by the proposed Amendment 100 with those accorded by the present "Workmen's Compensation Law" will be illuminating. Something like 90 per cent of the accidents do not result in permanent disfigurement or disability, but do result in much lost time and disability over a period of from one to six weeks, sometimes, of course, much longer. The old or present law provides that while a man is incapacitated from work he receives half pay as compensation, but only if the period of disability is in excess of two weeks. The new law, or Amendment 100, on the other hand, provides for compensation if a man is out of work for one week or longer, and such compensation is paid at the rate of two-thirds of the wages which he night raid which terminated in the capture of the British Maj. Gen. Prescott, thus effecting the release of General Lee who was then a prisoner of war. There are hundreds of others whose names are too numerous to mention who distinguished themselves for bravery, unequalled in the annals of history. They were with Washington at Valley Forge and like their white comrades, left their life's blood on the frozen earth from their uncovered feet. The race was well represented in the War of 1812 and many heroes could be mentioned here if space would permit. But let us turn to the Civil war. Denied admission at first, they answered the call 200,000 strong when the chance was given them to fight. Gen. Butler said that no Colored soldiers were wounded in the back which proves conclusively that there were no cowards among them—they always faced the enemy. Did the Negro gain his freedom by the shedding of his own blood? Colonels Shaw, Beecher, Birney, Captain Pinchback, Lieutenants Trotter, Dupree, Surgeon, Augusta, and many others could tell you that 68,178 black men and women laid down their lives that we might have the freedom we are enjoying today. Some day when truth and justice have a hearing, the names of those martyrs shall adorn history's pages—the brightest stars of modern civilization. Notwithstanding some have always raised the cry of "white man's wars." God has always permitted the sons of Ham to arrive on time and win the victory. Who can forget the charge of our gallant men up San Juan Hill in the face of a withering fire singing, "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight." They saved the lives of Col. Roosevelt and his rough riders and brought the war of 1898 to an immediate and victorious close. Again these same cavalrymen traveled across the barren plains of Mexico, where in the face of overwhelming odds, they Colored Man Endorseme te Insurance At Amendment 100 doesn't interest only. That is hardly true, for the places twenty-seven different classes from broom or brush manufacturing, school teaching, laundrying, and the way is left open for all are to do so. Again, some coloredona, and more will be. I proposed Amendment 100 intersent inadequate compensation law, to the employer and a guaranteed workman. I furnish a State Insurance, but the is a state insurance for the employee cost to the employer. I town requests have come recently Amendment 100. At the outset, I had provincial it might seem to be, I proposed legislative measure or or gets the attention of the colum-ount of benefits it offers or will along the lines for which the doubt if this characteristic is peat is true of all units or branches the practical operation of the univers-ist law of Nature—"safety first" if us, for you do the same yourself. was receiving at the time of his accident. For example, if a man should be injured or incapacitated for fifty days, under the scale of wages paid miners (now $5.90 a day), the present or old law would give him $147.50, while the new proposed Amendment 100, if adopted, would give him $196.50—a difference of $48, and if a man is killed, his beneficiaries get, under the present law, $4,000.00, while under the operation of the new they would get $8,000.00. Reliable authorities tell us that it provides more liberal payment for injuries sustained than any other compensation law in the United States. It comprises all that is best in the Montana, Wisconsin, Washington and New York compensation laws, considered the best in the country. This proposed new measure, Amendment 100, removes all uncertainty on the part of the employee as to what he is entitled to receive, and on the part of the employer as to what he should pay. And too, it provides for payment of compensation to injured workmen without delay, whereas under our present law they get but from 40 to 70 per cent of compensation payments, the other 30 to 60 per cent going for legal service and other incidentals, such as witness expenses, etc. Moreover, the manager and staff of a self respecting concern of company are made the reluctant de- gave up their lives for Old Glory. And today while we are recounting the noble deeds of the past, the black soldiers from Africa and America are forming the only stone wall in Europe which is preventing the Huns from conquering the world. But there is no cause for surprise. They are living up to the records and achievements of our forefathers, the mighty kings of Ethiopia. GOD'S JUDGMENT ON PEOPLE FOR SINS "The way of the transgressor is hard." "Be ye sure your sins will find you out." "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." DRENNER CO The follow yesterday by of Democrat "Report is We cannot write of those brave boys who are now giving their lives for world's democracy on the battle fields of France. Who will record their deeds? The story of the two New York lads who whipped 25 of the enemy, of our own Col Denison, who led the 370th Infantry across the ocean, of the 15th New York—the first of our boys to enter the trenches—yes, the 700,000 of our young men who answered the first call of their country to fight for liberty, right and justice—this must be recorded in history. JAZZ MUSIC IS NOW POPULAR IN FRANCE High officials in France are said to be exceedingly fond of the "jazz" music furnished by the Colored bands. General Petain recently visited a sector in which there are American troops and had "the time of his life" listening to a Colored band playing the popular "jazz" music, with some Negro dance stunts in keeping with the spirit of the melodies. He warmly congratulated the Colored leader. One day in a dining car, the boy across the aisle got to laughing so he couldn't stop. The conductor said to his mother, "That boy needs a spanking." She said, "Well, I don't believe in spanking a boy on a full stomach." The conductor said, Neither do I. Turn him over." fendants in annoying, humiliating and disagreeable lawsuits against men who have been injured while in their employ. I understand that Capital is favoring this proposed new measure 100, for the non-court, proceeding features it contains as much as anything else. This proposed Amendment 100, therefore, does away with a great many unnecessary damage suits with which our Coprats are constantly clogged, costing the taxpayers of Arizona over $100,000.00 a year. A few colored people operate small mines in this state. The passage of Amendment 100 would help these small mine operators because the State and not the individual mine operator (as is true under the present law), would be responsible for the compensation payments. One serious accident often puts a small operator out of business altogether and the compensation due the injured man or man is never paid because of no available funds, but under the proposed Amendment 100, the small operator or leaser needs only to pay his small share of compensation taxes and he will never be charged with heavy damages, while the injured, if there be any unfortunates, will receive from the State such compensation as may be due them, even though the company for which they were working when injured may have gone out of business, and in this way the workers of the smaller companies will be as well protected in case of injury as those for the largest concerns, which is untrue under the present law. I am in favor of the proposed Amendment 100 because it is the first proposition on which the employee and employer have ever gotten together in Arizona to my knowledge. Billy Sunday's creed is: "That I am against anything that the Devil is for." And I have sometimes thought that Capital was always against anything that Labor was for. But in the case of the proposed Amendment 100, the rich and the poor—the employee and the employer are as one upon this proposed mutually beneficial measure. And this is fine, for well has it been said in effect: Capital can no more get along without Labor than Labor can get along without Capital, but each must lean upon and help the other if industrial peace, progress and prosperity are to be maintained. I, therefore, urge that all colored voters vote YES on Amendment 100. CICERO C. SIMMONS, Principal Paul Laurence Dunbar School, and Member Carpenter's Local Union 857 Tucson, Arizona. (ADVERTISEMENT) GOD'S JUDGMENT ON PEOPLE FOR SINS "The way of the transgressor is hard." "Be ye sure your sins will find you out." "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." The above scriptures are as true today as when they were spoken; and they are as applicable to races and nations as to individuals. Every man or woman of any vision at all, can see that our God, who hates sin, is visiting the people with judgment. He has permitted the people to go on in sin and folly in the face of his accessible word, which forbids it, in the face of past experiences, in the face of the preached word, and in the face of every other warning until now He is moving about among them Himself. For over four years we have been in the awful grip of the most terrible and death-dealing war the world has ever known. We have seen our sons and husbands leave us for the battle fields of Europe, some of them never to return again, and some of them who may chance to return will be maimed for life. Thousands upon thousands of home ties have been and will still be broken never to be mended; plans thwarted, business upset, arrangements for future happiness frustrated, sorrow, disappointment and gloom are filling almost every heart, all because of sin—because the people have wantonly strayed from and ignored God and righteousness. Finding that the awful blood-sheld and destruction of war have failed to bring the nations to their knees and to a confession of their sins, God has sent a disease, a deathly epidemic—shall I say a pestilence—in the land which is thinning out the people, irrespective of race, color, sex, or social standing. I refer to the Spanish influenza, the present plague that is sweeping the county. And with all of its alarming results the people have not even become serious. They seem not to see the chastening hand of God yet. But, friends, if we do not see God's hand yet, we will see it, and see it clearly, before He is through, for He has commenced now, and He will finish before he stops. We may get control of this plague; we may win this war (and I certainly believe we will win it); but God will send some other and worse calamity upon us and will continue to send them until we humble ourselves before Him and confess our sins and implore His forgiveness. Read Lev. 26th chapter; Deut. 28th chapter, and 2 Sam. 24th chapter, and be convinced. The Christian Church and the Christian ministry are largely responsible for these calamities that are now upon us. Am I putting it too strong? The Gospel is the strongest power in all the world; it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes it, and believing it depends on hearing it, and hearing it depends on the preacher. Let us ask ourselves in all seriousness: Are we preaching the whole gospel uncompromisingly and without fear of men? Are we preaching fearlessly against every known sin and evil? Are we using all of the power with which our Savior has invested us to stamp out and cradicate these evils that are sapping the spiritual life out of the people? And are we really living the Gospel we preach? Isaiah 52:11. Are we standing up in our churches and condemning and protesting against these modern evils that they have drifted into? I do not mean to allege any charge or accuse any minister of derelict of duty, but simply want us to ponder over these questions. There is a "loose screw" somewhere. Let us see if it is about us. As for the Christian churches, they have drifted away from the "old land, mark," and instead of leading the world, and setting examples for the world, as is their duty, they are being led by the world and foolishly following the sinful examples set by the world. They are holding feasts, fairs, bazaars, dances and are engaged in many kinds of speculating devices just like the world. In fact the churches run their business largely by the world's plans. This may be a little plain and radical way of saying things, but, friends, this is a time to say things plainly. We need to see where we have drifted and call a halt before it is too late. In the scriptures referred to above, the Lord promises to relieve us of the plagues and destructions if we will forsake the evils that caused them and return unto Him. Will we do it, and save ourselves, or will we blindly continue until we are utterly destroyed? We see our churches are closed, we are denied the privilege of going to the mount of God, and instead of rearing an altar in our homes before which we may bow, and instead of accepting the next best chance offered, as an evidence of our love to God and his service, we are roaming the streets and visiting from house to house, thus being infected more with influenza. "There is a way that seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." The following statement was made yesterday by Tom Drennen, secretary of Democratic State Committee; "Reports coming into the Democratic State headquarters from all parts of the state indicate that Fred T. Colter will be elected Governor by three to five thousand majority. Every county in the state will roll up a large majority for every democratic candidate on the ticket. The vicious attack that the republican newspapers are making upon President Wilson has caused the sentiment of the people to vote for men who will uphold the hands of the President. The propaganda promulgated by the kept press that "a vote for Colter is a vote for Hunt" has been punctured. Governor Hunt has come out in an open letter stating that he would not, under any circumstances, hold the office of governor after his present term of office expires. This should relieve the minds of Governor Hunt's enemies that he will hold the office two years longer. There is no question as to Senator Colter's eligibility as the best authorities in the United States have passed upon the question in other states and if Colter is elected governor he will be governor, in person as well as in fact. It looks like a landslide for the democratic ticket this year." THE GREAT PHYSICIAN CAN HEAL INFLUENZA Jesus gave that power to Stephen, Paul and others.—Acts 6:7, 8, 10, Acts 28:8, 9; Acts 19:11, 12; Cor. 12:4-12, 28.

The power of healing is given to the elders.—James 5:14, 15.; Acts 20:28. That power is given to us if we believe.—St. John 17:20-22. The day of healing is not past with believers.—Mark 16:16-18; Heb. 13:18; Mark 11:24; 15; John 5:14, 15. What to do in case of sickness.—St. John 15:7; James 5:14, 15; Matt. 18:14-18; James 2:21-24. Now is the time that all races should obey the teaching at the word of the Lord—Eph. 3:16-21; Heb. 13:8; Mark 6:13; 3rd John 1:2; Jer. 8:15, 22; Prov. 4:22; Prov. 16:24; Psalms 42:11; Psalms 67:2.

Bullock, formerly principal of the Williston Industrial school of this city, was killed in action September 2, according to a telegram received by his wife, Cleopatria Bullock, from the War Department yesterday. He is the first colored soldier from this city to make the supreme sacrifice. He was a volunteer, and was commissioned lieutenant after having qualified himself, and then later went overseas. A veteran of the Spanish-American war, he was not without military training and experience, and proved himself a valuable man. A note from one who knew him best says that when the war broke out he immediately offered himself, ready to give his life for his country. He is spoken of as a devout Christian and, says the note: "I am sure that his soul is at rest with God, for he has full hope and confidence in God, and trusted Him utterly." Surviving are his wife, father, a brother and sister, and a step-daughter. The city will write his name on her roll of honor, and remember him as its first Negro patriot to die for the great principles of liberty and justice.—Wilmington (N. C.) Star. "The pen is mightier than the sword." This idea becomes fundamentally truer with each passing day. Lack of space forbids me to speak of the system of graft, usury, oppression, the divorce, evil, adultery, drunkenness, gambling, hypocryty, and a hundred and one other evils, all with which God is displeased and is now vindicating Himself. In the name of God, and for the sake of our own souls and the future of our lives, and our country's welfare, let us come to God in humble confession and repentance and stay his judgment.

PHONE 4301 SCOTT, COLORED WAR SECTY., MAN OF BIG ATTAINMENTS Newarker Who Met Him Gives Impressions of Him at Work By Robert A. Travis. In Newark (N. J.) Daily Ledger, Oct. 6. Some months ago, or, to be exact, on Friday, May 17, George Creel, Director of the National Bureau of Information, at Washington, D. C., said to the writer, in speaking of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, "A wonderful man, a remarkably efficient man, brilliant, of inestimable value to the War Department." These words were in our mind as we were being led by a marine Thursday morning through the lobby and down the aisle of the west side of the first floor of the War Department building to Room 131, in which Mr Scott has his office. Entering the main entrance of the War Department building, one is immediately impressed with the air of business-like bustle. Here there is no loafing. Everyone is on his or her job with 100 per cent energy. Entering the office of the special assistant secretary, one realizes that here is a workshop. Four expert male stenographers are seated at desk piled with correspondence and printed mater in orderly array, pounding typewriter keys at a high rate of speed. We are greeted by one of these. Our errand being stated, we are advised that Mr. Scott has stepped out of the office for a moment, and we are introduced to Private Secretary Davis. One glance at Secretary Davis, the shape of his head, the alertness of his eye, the air of high efficiency which seems to be all about him, and it is quickly realized that one of the things which has contributed to Mr. Scott's success is his ability to pick men. A five or ten minute wait, and Secretary Scott enters. Even in the formalities of greeting one could not re Keep HOW TO AVOID INFLUENCE SICKN Cut this out of the paper and hang it Keep Well!

Down from Prescott— Mr. Harry Gish who has been employed at Prescott for the past month returned to Phoenix this week. Mr. Gish says he has one big kick to make about conditions in Prescott and that is the great difficulty he experienced in securing copies of the Tribune from our agent there. He says that nearly every time he came to buy one the "sold out" sign met his gaze. We can suggest a remedy for this; subscribe for the Tribune by the year and have it sent direct to you each week. We have ample copies to supply all paid up subscribers. Others have to take what is left. Play safe and send in your subscription NOW. Only $2 a year. FOR RENT—Nice room for rent. No sick. Gentleman preferred. Apply 1421 E. Van Buren street. Phone 2079.—Adv. Surprise Party— Mrs. Andersonia was given a delightful surprise on last Monday evening. It was in honor of her birthday, an event which occurs about the same time every year. Mandolin and guitar selections were rendered by Mrs. Howard and Mr. Andersonia. These selections were something above the ordinary and a delight to all. The host mystified the guests with a display of great magical skill and rapturously entertained them with his mind-reading "stunts." He was bound with ropes and chains and magically released himself with ease. A cafeteria lunch was served and every one enjoyed it immensely. Mrs. Andersonia was the recipient of many beautiful presents. Among them was a ring set with an exquisite birthstone. Those who enjoyed the evening with Mr. and Mrs. Andersonia were; Mr. and Mrs. John Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Fish, Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Howard. ROOMS FOR RENT—Well furnished rooms for ladies or gentlemen. Private entrance to all rooms. Apply 201 E Van Buren street.—Adv. To Err Is Human— "He who makes no mistakes, does nothing and he who makes too many loses his job." This sign or one similar, met our eyes the moment we entered an elevator in a certain building in Phoenix. We have had occasion recently to reflect on that sign. Two issues in succession we have been guilty of making a slight mistake in printing the advertisement for the Black Diamond Barber Shop located at 33 South Second street. First we said you would find the shop at 30 South Second street; we corrected this by supplying the 3, and made another mistake by writing MRS. BRADY as owner of the shop whereas, we should have written MR. BRADY. The proprietor of this popular tonsorial parlor said that he had one awful time trying to convince his wife that HE was still the boss of that shop. Mrs. Brady told her husband that she had become to regard the Tribune as a reliable newspaper and when she read an article in it she naturally took it for granted that the statements contained therein were true. She has finally consented to relinquish her claim of ownership. Cleaning, pressing, altering. Prompt service, courteous treatment. The Palace. Phone 1242. Mr. Arthur Graves of Morenci, Arizona, is visiting his sister, Mrs. Wm. H. Clay, Jr., on East Buchanan st. Mr. Graves is in Class A-1 and expects to be called into service soon. Mr. Williams Convalescent— Mr. E. J. Williams of West Lincoln street, who has been confined to his home the past week with an attack of influenza, is able to be out again.

Lincoln street, will be pleased to learn that he is now at home and able to walk about the house on his crutches. Mr. Van has been a patient at the Sisters' hospital for the past ten or twelve weeks, recovering from the effects of a broken leg and other minor injuries which he sustained when he fell from an engine in the yards of the Arizona Eastern. Mrs. H. H. Jackson returned last week after a three months' vacation spent in Chicago. She reports an enjoyable trip and was so favorably impressed with the people and condition in that city that she expects to return and take up a permanent residence there. Among some of the Phoenix people she met in Chicago were Mrs. Penn and daughter Jeanette, who are comfortably settled in a pretentious home. Anderson-Melton Nuptials On Saturday afternoon, October 19, Mr. F. Melton and Mrs. Clara Anderson son were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony was performed by Rev. R. H. Herring at the parsonage on South Second street. Mr. and Mrs. Melton took no one into their confidence concerning the affair and it was just one week after the marriage before the news leaked out. They are both very prominent socially and are ardent church workers After November 20, Mr. and Mrs. Melton will be at home to their friend at 1200 East Madison street. Roaming House Changes Hands— Mr. Wm. Lee, proprietor of the De Luxe Cafe at 37 South Second street, has purchased the lease and furnishings of the big rooming house at 521 South Second avenue. This place was formerly conducted by Mrs. Windsor, who has given up the place to make a trip into the Northwest and take a much needed rest. Mr. Lee, the new owner of this modern establishment is merely keeping pace with the times. So many colored people are coming into Phoenix recently, that there are scarcely enough houses of this kind to accommodate them. All newcomers instinctively go to the De Luxe cafe for their meals and Mr. Lee had so many inquiries about rooms, till he decided to take care of this situation himself. He accordingly purchased this modern establishment, and can now direct all tourists or transients to 521 South Second avenue. Mrs. Dawson Entertains— In honor of Mrs. J. H. Holden of Los Angeles, Calif., a daintily prepared and well appointed luncheon was served by Mrs. E. S. P. Dawson, 1002 East Fillmore street, on Monday, Oct 21. The table was beautifully decorated for the occasion, American beauty roses being used for the center piece. Covers were laid for ten and each guest was presented with a rose. Those who enjoyed Mrs. Dawson's hospitality wre: Mrs. Georgia Hoyt Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Ella Barker, Mrs Ed Moore, Mrs. J. A. Green and Mrs J. A. Coleman. The honor guest Mrs. J. H. Holden, who has been visiting Mrs. Dawson since August 21 left Thursday evening, Oct. 24, for her home in Los Angeles, Calif. Over from Ray Mrs. Jerry Hinton, who left Phoenix last week for a short visit with her son Archie Lewis at Ray, Ariz. returned to Phoenix Monday evening and brought Archie with her. Archie is a former resident of this city and is well known here. He is the Tribune representative at Ray and is responsible for the intensely interesting news that has made the RAY COLUMN so popular with our readers. Mrs. Hinton will visit here a few days and then return to her home in Los Angeles, Cal. Archie returned to Ray Thursday morning. He took a good look at that beautiful $35 diamond ring in the window at Sheldon's Jewelry, 106 N. 1st ave., and declared he was going to present that ring to his wife for a Christmas present. All right, Archie, whoever sends in the greatest amount in subscriptions before midnight, December 7, 1918, can have it. Somebody will have to hustle if they expect to beat Ajo, for our representative there is now leading Yuma is a close second, with Prescott third; Tucson is threatening, Douglas and Bisbee are neck and neck; Flag staff and Ray have let us know that they are in the race; Prairie View Mesa, Globe, El Paso and Las Cruces are running well with Prairie View leading by a nose. So now, Mr. Lewis, you can see what you are up against. Mrs. Lewis may wear that ring and then again, she MAY not. Strangers Galore— Never before in the history of Phoenix have so many colored people graced its confines. Men, women and children from every section of the globe are here and more arrily daily. One meets so many stranger these days until he begins to wonder, "What's it all about?" It's because Phoenix is the biggest little town in the Southwest and the best little city in the U. S. A. Only a Few Left— Mr. J. W. Shell, the popular news lealer, at 27 South Second street, said that he has only a few copies of the Crisis left and that all who wanted one of these magazines would have to hurry. Mr. Shell is doing a "land office" business with newspapers and magazines. He handles all the Negro journals in the country and if you "home paper" is not in the bunch he'll get it for you. He is on the job lay and night and you can purchase fried fish as well as newspapers at 27 South Second street. Distinguished Visitor Dr. W. E. Rainwater, a practicing physician of Ardmore, Okla., was a business visitor in Phoenix this week. Dr. Rainwater has been visiting his brother, Mr. E. E. Rainwater of Yuma and also his son, who is in that city 'or the benefit of his health. The doctor was surprised to learn that 1,500 colored people are living in Phoenix. He spent all day Tuesday and a part of Wednesday looking over the city and expressed his disappointment in finding so few business enterprises operated by our people. "With a colored population of 1,500 individuals," said Dr. Rainwater, "you should have at least one drug store, an up-to-date restaurant, an amusement park and several mercantile establishments owned and operated by members of the race." We assured him that on his next visit to Phoenix he would find all these things in operation among the enterprising colored citizens of this great city. Dr. Rainwater left Wednesday evening over the Santa Fe for his home in Ardmore. Incidentally, the TRIBUNE will follow. Rev. Herring Doing Nicely— Our California subscribers, who are mostly former residents of Phoenix or some other part of Arizona, have made a special request for news every week that will inform them of the condition of Rev. R. H. Herring, pastor of the A. M. E. church here. They suggest that we insert a small article each week so that his California friends may keep posted until he has fully revocered from the effects of the broken leg. We are pleased to say that the reverend and wife are both doing nicely. Rev. Herring performed a marriage ceremony about two weeks ago, so you may know he is feeling pretty good. Personally, we believe Rev. Herring and wife are in the same boat with the editor of the Tribune. The editor feels that he has received his share of verbal aid and what he would very much like to receive, right along through here is material assistance. We want more subscribers to the Tribune so we can grow into a regular eight page paper. Indications are that we shall have to give you eight pages this week; if we do, it will not be a regular thing, because we must have 7,000 subscribers before we can keep up an eight-page paper. Actions speak loudest. Place your own interpretation on this. There is nothing so scarce in the world as truly great men; men who by their talents, their patriotism, and love for humanity make an epoch in history. Moses, Jesus, Mahomet, and Luther made epochs in the religious world. Washington, Napoleon and Lincoln made epochs in the political world. Homer, Herodotus, Shakespeare, Dante, Goethe, and Gibbon made epochs in the literary world. And there were other great lights that made their age glorious. President Wilson is pitching gilt-edge ball. Bulgaria struck out; Austria fouled out to Lansing; and two strikes called on Kaiser Bill. No runs, no hits, no errors. SPANISH "FLU" (Continued from page 1) as much of this disease as possible out of their cities and towns. Hawaii and the Influenza A few months ago the influenza visited Hawaii, and I don't think there was a city that escaped this epidemic. Ft. Shafter and Schofield barracks were especially hard hit. Well, to tell the truth, the people of that island, just like the people of Arizona, thought the disease would never reach them. They claimed that they were too far out in the Pacific ocean for anything like that to reach them. But it did, and this is what happened: I was on duty at the quarantine camp, June 17, 1918, when everything began to go wrong. The Hawaiian National Army was assigned to Schofield barracks for duty, and two days later the physicians made a thorough inspection of the company, and reports reached department surgeon that everybody was well. At 5 o'clock we commenced to receive ambulance calls, one right after the other, until all ambulance was busy, day and night. At first the doctors were unable to give a correct diagnosis of thees cases, because they had never REV. S. E. NEWELL'S POLITICAL VERSION Pianos, Players, Victrolas, Records Headquarters for "Everything Musical" Two great political parties are now arrayed against each other in the great State of Arizona. The Negro asks: "With which party should I affiliate?" I answer by saying that he should affiliate with no "certain" party any more than the American white man does. The Negro has always proved himself one hundred per cent American. He lived two hundred and fifty years in chattel slavery on American soil. He learned to follow the examples set by the proud Anglo Saxons. They are able to see the necessity for arranging themselves in two great parties. Now, whatever is good for the American white man, is also good for the American Negro. The Negro should no longer allow any party to "put a ring in his nose", and lead him about at will. In the year of 1886, one of our great republican leaders in the person of the Hon. H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, caused the thinking Negro to realize that the republican party had decided to make the Negro go for himself. This honorable gentleman introduced the first bill of disfranchisement in the U. S. congress; namely "The Lily White Republican Bill." Every rule of reason and every law of logic will teach us that the Negro can never hope to derive any political benefits so long as he continues to follow the party that is simply tolling him along with promises. Every Negro man and woman should make good use of the ballot now and for all times to come. We should spurn the offer of a job or a few dollars for our vote. Whenever a politician begins to tell you that he fought to free your fathers in the dark days of the 60's, just tell him to go to Heaven. The Negro fought for the white man long before the white man ever fought for the Negro. Yes, it was in 1776 on Boston Commons, that Christopher Attucks, a Negro, was the first human being to shed his blood in the defense of American independence. It was in a Pianos, Play Victro Headquarters for "Ev FIRM THAT MADE VICTROLAS PIANOS ECT. MUSEUM Rede 22.4 before been called on to treat such a peculiar disease. Later discoveries disclosed the fact that this was influenza. After that, the quarantine camps were full, the quarantine yards were full, and there were more on the outside waiting for admission. We had to put up about 75 or more tents, and even this was not enough, because they were still coming. Many were forced to lie in the hot sun until we could fix a place to receive them. In order to accommodate all we were compelled to use the old Vets' Hall as a hospital. We had fully 18,000 patients. It was at this time the Medical Department had to work day and night in order to administer to all. We were assigned to no particular section, consequently we had to skip from tent to tent in order to give each man the same amount of attention. When we made a second investigation of the cases, we found quite a few had developed into pneumonia. Then things began to grow worse. The death rate began to add up on us. You would look at your patient this minute, and the next time you came around he would be dead. We had to take other steps to prevent the death totals from piling up. On the third examination we found a few cases of meningitis, measles and mumps and to nurse them also. We segregated these patients from the others. So, you see, one can never tell what's coming to him, if we allow influenza to have its course in and around our cities. Symptoms of the Disease What I want to impress upon the reader is, that Spanish Influenza does not select its victims. It attacks the old as well as the young. So don't get the idea that you are going to miss catching it because you are too young or too old. It will get you if you are only twelve years old the same as it would a person seventy years old. That is one reason why I so strongly advise that every precaution be taken to prevent the spread of this disease.

From that time, until the present day, the Negro has been sacrificing his life for the greatest government in all the world; a government that is now fighting for human rights and justice—a world democracy. In conclusion, I desire to say that the present war is one in which we should all be interested. Not passively, but actively. We should make personal sacrifices in order to bring this bloody conflict to a speedy and a successful end. I believe it is the plan of God to have the Negro know that he is part and parcel of this great government and not just the handy pair of tongs with which a political party may pull clinkers out of the fire. In the words of the Immortal Lincoln: "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME". Politicians!

Players, Attrolas, Records "Everything Musical" Redewill Music Company Established in 1881 224 WEST WASHINGTON STREET PHOENIX, ARIZONA You will know when you have got the influenza, as it always attacks the person, first, with a chilly feeling, then comes a high temperature, say 103 to 104, rapid pulse and respiration. Necessary Precautions Necessary Precautions Spanish influenza is very contagious and the person afflicted should by all means be segregated from people who are not afflicted with the disease, or they will surely catch it. Never allow the room in which a patient is confined to become damp, as it will always make him worse. Dampness makes the disease more serious and fatal. Give the patient plenty of fresh air. Now, I do not mean to have your patient exposed to a dangerous draft, but simply raise the windows on one side of the room and lower them on the other. This will give you a well ventilated room. Oxygen won't hurt anyone and is very essential to every patient's health. If you think you have the influenza, do not become alarmed. Call your doctor at once, as he is the one who will tell you if you are really afflicted with the disease. I wish to say with emphasis: PLEASE, LET THE PATENT REMEDIES ALONE. They are absolutely no good whatever in combatting this disease. Take a big dose of salts to move the bowels, get in bed, cover yourself well, and for several days it is best to go on a liquid diet. When you get a little stronger, drink a light diet Drink some beef tea, cocoa, coffee or hot milk and follow this with a hot bath. Be careful, however, not to take these hot baths too often or you will injure your case. Stay in bed until your doctor tells you to get up. Do not use your own judgment about getting out of bed, or you will likely find yourself in another world. In conclusion, I want to say that we should observe all the laws of health, keeping our heads cool, feet warm, and bowels open, and use every necessary precaution against the spread of this disease. By doing so, we will find ourselves ahead with money, time and labor.
