IGNORANCE CAUSE MUCH LAW-BREAKING SAYS NOTED EDUCATOR
(By Associated Negro Press)
LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 28.—Illiteracy among both races in the United States is a constant invitation to Bolshevism, according to Dean L. B. Moore, of Howard University, Washington, D. C., in an address before the Negro Educational Association of Kentucky.
“There are 5,000,000 adults of both races in the United States that can neither read nor write,” said Dr. Moore. “Ignorance like this is the cause of sectional and racial feeling and constant law-breaking. No one can understand a law who cannot read it.”
BUT HONORS DON'T PAY BILLS
TOPEKA, May 28.—What is a physician, who went to war, and upon his return found his practice had all left him, going to do? That is the question presented to Governor Allen by a Kansas physician. He had a fine practice in a city of Kansas and enlisted in the medic corps when the Kansas National Guard was federalized. He was wounded in the Argonne while attending wounded Kansans. He recently returned to his home and this is the letter he sent the governor:
"I have had difficulty in getting established since the war and the proposition is getting rather acute. I had such high hopes when I was discharged, as so many had told me, 'a grateful people will reward you,' that I grew to believe it. Now I would be glad if I had a good business; like I left to go to war, but my parrons have gone to the doctors who stayed at home and they show little inclination to return. They tell me how noble and brave I am, etc., etc., but that doesn't settle the grocery bill."
* TUSKEGEE SUMMER SCHOOL

(By Associated Negro Press)
TUSKEGEE, Ala., May 27.—The tenth annual session of the Tuskegee Institute Summer School for Teachers will be held June 9th to July 18th. Already applicants are coming in rapidly and the indications are that the attendance of last year will be exceeded. This is the largest Negro summer school in the country. Courses will be offered in English, mathematics, science, history, geography, business practice, education, physical training for women, first aid, agriculture, handicrafts, domestic science, sewing, canning and manual training.
AN EDUCATED PEOPLE
MAKE BETTER CITIZENS
(By Associated Negro Press)
MERIDIAN, Miss., May 27.—The state convention of the Mississippi Colored Teachers' Association, just closed here, was one of the best ever held. It was shown that educational work in the state has been rapidly advancing during the past year, and many suggestions were put forward for still greater progress during the next year. The South has at last realized that it is far better to give educational opportunities than to hold the people in ignorance.

BOSTON, Mass., May 27.—The appearance in Paris of William Monroe Trotter has solved, in part, the cause for the recent non-appearance of the Boston Guardian. Mr. Trotter has issued a statement in Paris to the effect that he represents 14,000,000 Negroes in this country, and seeks to lay before the peace conference a protest against American social injustices. Mr. Woodrow Wilson is also there, Mr. Trotter is reminded.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 28.—John D. Wilkerson, a young man of intelligence in this community, prepared a treatise on his opinion of a case before the St. Louis bar, and so cleverly was it prepared that it was thought by experienced white lawyers that it had come from a county judge.
CARUSO ENJOYED
FOLK SONG SINGING
BY NEGRO STUDENTS
(By Associated Negro Press)
ATLANTA, Ga., May 28.—The people of this community are still commenting on the recent visit of Enrico Caruso, the great Italian tenor, who went to Morris Brown College to hear the wonderful folk-song singing. With him was Mrs. Caruso. After he had listened to several selections, a request was made for him to sing, and he responded with several numbers.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The effort to arrive at closer working relations between the Races in Chicago, in order that there may be a definite program carried, is meeting with tremendous success. The work is advancing so far that the South is beginning to take notice and has reached the point of offering suggestions, which, one of the Southern papers states, "the North has never been slow in offering to the South."
Among the suggestions offered by the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise is the following, which, of course, is not popular in Chicago, but has an element of truth in it towards the close that is sufficient to make the skeptical sit up and take notice.
"It may be suggested," says the Enterprise, "to begin with, that better results will be achieved in the education of the Negro by the establishment for him of separate schools, presided over by Negroes. This would be an innovation in Illinois, but one that we think that the better advised men of the Negro Race would approve, since it would permit the Negro boy or girl to develop his or her mental resources slowly and in keeping with the instincts of the race, and free from the inevitable distinction of the class room, where the student, to grow up in a proper, and not false environment, free from hopes of social equality, of which he is now disillusioned only after he leaves the northern grade school.
"This, with the provision of employment for the Negro, and the abandonment of the present policy of using him as a political football, will go far toward aiding the North in finding a solution of whatever problem may arise out of the racial question GIVING THE NEGRO EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY WILL ENABLE HIM LARGELY TO SOLVE HIS OWN PROBLEMS, WITH LESS OF INTERPOSITION OF MAUDLIN SENTIMENTAL THEORIES FROM HIS WHITE NEIGHBORS."
TEN-ACRE FARM FOR 95 CENTS
(From the Hartford, Conn., Courant)
PORTLAND, Conn.—If there is any one in this section who is anxious to get a bargain, he should apply to M. J. Leahy, tax collector, who is advertising a ten-acre farm for sale for 95 cents. Collector Leahy has been unable to find an owner for the farm and cannot collect the 95 cents due in taxes. He is therefore selling the farm for the taxes.
TEXAS SCHOOL CHILDREN ENJOY MAY FESTIVAL
(By Associated Negro Press) HOUSTON, Tex., May 27.—More than 2,000 children, representing every school in Houston, participated in the May festival at West End Park An audience estimated at 3,000 attended. The entire affair showed great progress and left an impression for good that will be lasting. Prof. J. D. Ryan, principal of one of the schools, was one of the speakers.
COLORED OPERA COMPANY
(By Associated Negro Press)
OMAHA, Neb., May 28.—The Boyd Theatre, the second largest opera house in the state, was the scene of a most successful presentation of Ouida's "Under Two Flags," May 3. by Omaha's popular amateur organization, the Dubois Dramatic Club.
WHY MANY FAIL
We limit the success of our own work by our indolence and lack of faith more than any outside circumstances limit it for us. It is not lack of talent as much as lack of courage and effort that circumscribes our usefulness.—Exchange.

SERVANT PROBLEM BEGINNING TO WORRY SOUTHERN LADIES
(By Associated Negro Press)
ROCK HILL, S. C., May 28.--There has been some discussion here relative to a report that the Colored women of the community have grown so prosperous with material goods and money, that they have formed an organization known as "Fold-the-Arms" club.
One daily states: "Whether they have formed any club or not, householders tell us more difficulty is being experienced by Colored labor now than ever before in the history of this city, and no one seems to be able to learn just what the trouble is."
Another states: "Let the white people learn to serve themselves. It will not harm them. To the housekeeper who has learned to serve herself there is no terror in the situation. We require too much 'service' anyway." This comment from a white newspaper in the South reads like fiction. There is no servant problem for those who serve themselves.

GEORGIA MAGISTRATE THINKS BLACKS USE PISTOL TOO FREELY
(By Associated Negro Press)
AUGUSTA, Ga., May 28.—Before pronouncing sentence on William Morgan, charged with manslaughter, Judge Hammon said: "Human life is too precious to be held in light regard. If there is any criticism I have to make of the Colored race, it is that they are too reckless with human life. If they have a pistol, they think they must use it, and they do use it.
"The white people, judges and court officials, I think," continued the judge, "take too narrow a view of the Colored citizen. They say he is respectful and a good Negro simply because he tips his hat to the white man. He is called a 'white man's negro,' and they let it go at that."
This attitude, in the opinion of Judge Hammond, makes the Negro overbearing to his own people; realizing that he has the backing of white men if he commits crime.

two colored city councilmen taking their seats this week, and a Republican mayor, boosted into office by Colored voters, this city has awakened to its own power as never before. Colored people in the city yield over sixteen thousand votes, while the mayor-elect won by less than 9,000 majority. William L. Fitzgerald and Warner T. McGuinn are the new councilmen. The latter will represent the Fourteenth Ward, which has a few more white than colored residents. Mayor-elect William Broening, in a statement to colored voters through the Afro-American, thanked them for their support, and promised to make his actions speak louder than words. Besides a Colored member on the Board of Education, the Colored people are prepared to request and put through demands for a new high school, swimming pool, better streets, and playgrounds in colored sections.
A COMMUNTY LAUNDRY
(By Associated Negro Press)
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 27.—A "community laundry" is to be established in this city for the Colored housewives. The women may carry their clothes there and launder them after the most approved fashion. The plan is part of a missionary effort of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and the building is to cost ten thousand dollars.

CHAPLAIN SCOTT OF FORT HAUCHUCA LECTURED IN CITY
Wednesday evening, May 21, a small but appreciative audience gathered at the A. M. E. church for the purpose of listening to an address by Army Chaplain Scott of the Tenth Cavalry, from Fort Hauchuca, Ariz. The speaker was introduced by Mr. Harold Prince, also of Fort Huachuca and prominent in Y. M. C. A. work among the soldiers of the Fort. Mr. Prince introduced Chaplain Scott as a man whom the soldiers of the Tenth Cavalry loved, honored and obeyed. He paid a glowing tribute to his character and reputation as an ideal Christian, a brave soldier and a real leader. He also took occasion to speak a few words complimentary to the pastor of the A. M. E. church, Rev. R. H. Hering, a man with whom he was well acquainted, having known him many years ago in California and was at one time a member of his church.
Chaplain Scott, although tired, and, as he said, in no mood for public speaking, delivered a masterful discourse that was repeatedly interrupted with applause. He drove home his argument with force and a masterfulness that showed him the brilliant ora-

tor that he is. Among other things he said that the colored people should love more and hate less. "Hate," said the speaker, "reacts upon the person who harbors it. If we substitute love 'or hate, we will find ourselves growing broader; it will make of us better citizens and will come back to us in the form of better treatment, larger opportunities, a richer, nobler life." The chaplain's lecture was enlivened with a number of appropriate anecdotes that added interest to his discourse and enabled him to hold the audience spell-bound for nearly two hours. The only regret was that the house was not packed with people to hear the wonderful words of encour agement and advice delivered to us by this great man.
The party left Thursday morning in the chaplain's car for Fort Huachuca. In the party were Chaplain Scott and wife, Mr. and Mrs. and Harold Prince. While here they were the house guests of Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Herring, who saw to it that they were royally entertained.
JACK DEMPSEY SELECTS
TOLEDO, May 27.—Harry Wills, one of the greatest heavyweights in the country, has been signed by Dempsey's manager, Jack Kearns, as one of the eight crack sparring partners engaged to tune up Dempsey for his coming fight with Jess Willard on July 4 for the heavyweight title.
The pastor and members of the Second Baptist church, corner Fifth street and Jefferson, have decided that the present brick structure is inadequate to accommodate the large and growing membership, and so they have inaugurated a campaign to raise sufficient funds to convert the present building into a $10,000 church edifice. Nearly $600 is already in the treasury for this purpose and the various clubs which have been working so faithfully the past three months will increase their activities in an endeavor to have sufficient funds on hand so that the contractors may begin work on the magnificent new structure early in November of this year.
To Rev. C. A. Gilmore, the pastor of this church, is due no small degree of praise for creating such interest and enthusiasm in the members that will make them go out and work to bring about such a wonderful achievement. The proposed building, when completed, will be the most imposing and expensive church building owned by Colored people between the cities of Denver and Los Angeles. The church is entirely free from debt and inasmuch as the members are united and agreed upon a common cause, their efforts should meet with success.
COLORED BOYS LEARN
CHICAGO, May 28.—The Chicago Association of Commerce has stirred up a veritable "hornets' nest" in its gratuitous efforts to "furnish surplus Negro labor to Southern communities." It develops that there is a small conspiracy of plans, backed by Northern white men who have capital invested in the South, to get the black laborers South.
As a matter of cold fact, there is a great demand for laborers in the South, and there is an increasing demand for laborers in the North, but the race men are exercising careful judgment in deciding where they go, and only a small percentage care in the least to return South. Many of them are going North and West, but few South.
In addition to this, as fast as they can get passports, thousands of foreigners are going back to their native lands abroad. So great has been the demand, for one reason—and another, that Congress has been besieged with requests to pass a law placing restrictions on emigration.
All of this makes the Race man a most important factor in the economic situation. There is every reason to believe that, in the long run, he will fare far better because of the pressing demand for industrial workers in many fields.
The majority of the communities that received the famous telegram from the Chicago Association of Commerce have sent word back that they do not wish the "Southern Negroes with Northern ideas," and the few who have sent representatives up here to "look them over" have returned to their homes with the opinion that there has been a change in the manner of the people who once were kept from knowing that "a man's a man for a' that."
TAMPA, Fla.—The Central Florida Conference, presided over by Bishop John Hurst, D. D., of Balitmore, Md. has just closed one of the most successful sessions ever held in the history of the organization, and Revs. S. A. Williams, R. D. McLin, M. D. Potter, A. Jackson and I. H. Dixon were elected delegates to the general conference in St. Louis, May, 1920.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Due to the fact that the retiring congress has failed to make appropriation for the necessary activities of the department of labor, George Edmund Hayes, diretcor of Negro Economics, may lose his position.
COLUMBIA, S. C.—The legislature has just voted $100,000 for a monument to the colored soldiers of the state. A likey amount was appropriated for a monument to her white sons.
RICHMOND, Va.—Colored citizens of Richmond to the number of about 20,00 have signed a petition asking that members of their race be appointed principals and special teachers in the schools here.

ROOSEVELT WROTE INTERESTING SKETCH OF HIS LIFE-WORK
In 1895 Julian Ralph was trying to get details from which to write a sketch of Theodore Roosevelt, then police commissioner of New York. Mr. Roosevelt dodged for some time, but finally consented and wrote Ralph a letter outlining his life up to that time with Rooseveltian directness and charm. That letter recently was published for the first time in an article by George H. Sargent in the Boston Transcript. It is here reprinted:
Police Department, New York, N. Y.
Theodore Roosevelt, President.—
July 11th, 1895.-Julian Ralph, Esq.
513 Seventh Avenue, Asbury Park,
N. J.
My Dear Mr. Ralph:
1. I married Edith Kermit Carow in 1886.
2. I have five children, three boys and two girls.
3. My city address is 689 Madison avenue; but that is not my house, the only house I own is in the country and is called Sagamore Hill. It is at Oyster Bay, Long Island.
4. I spend all of my time at Sagamore Hill, excepting when I am officially engaged. Prior to 1886 I spent most of my time when I was not in the legislature on my ranch at Medora on the Little Missouri in western North Dakota. Since then I have had time only to make a trip once a year for a fortnight or a month, or maybe six weeks, to my ranch or to the Rockies.
To my mind, Sagamore Hill is as lovely a home as there is in the United States, although it is a perfectly simple one. All of my children were born there.
My hunting trophies and the heads of the big game I shot hang on the walls, in the halls, in the dining room and in the library.
In the cool fall weather I sit in the hall or the library by the big fireplace, where the hickory and oak logs crack and the fire dances and shines over the elk, moose and buffalo heads on the wall and the bear-skins on the floor. You must come out and see for yourself.
I have a library of about four thousand volumes. I think it is especially good in hunting books, out-of-door books, and in English poetry and American history; (by English poetry, I, of course, include American). In hunting books, and books of outdoor life, in the fields and woods, I think it is without question the best library in the country.
I have not got very many pictures; still there are some fine engravings of Lincoln, Grant, Washington and Hamilton, and two or three reproductions of the old Dutch painters.
I have some pretty good bronzes, the best being some vases and some panther, bison and deer figures by Kemys, the American sculptor.
My house stands on the hill overlooking the bay and the sound; from the corner of the broad veranda (where I always have plenty of rocking chairs) you can see out for a score of miles across stretches of land and water. I do not think there can be a lovelier view than this at sunset.
In the top of my house I have my big gunroom, and half of my books are there, too; the others are down in my library, which is my favorite sitting place, for it has a huge fireplace at one end, and above it the horns of mountain sheep, mountain goat and prong-horn antelope.
I was born in my father's house, 28 East Twentieth street, New York. For eight generations my father's people have lived in this city, so that we are about as distinct a New York family as can be found.
Originally they lived on the Battery, then in Roosevelt street, which was then our big farm. We gradually moved uptown, and my grandfather built a big house in what was then the country, at the corner of Fourteenth street and Broadway.
By the way, I was a great deal of a wrestler at Harvard, but though, as I told you, I never won a championship; but more than once I won my trial heats and got into the final round.
I was captain of my polo team at one time, but since I left college I have taken most of my exercise in the 'cow country" or hunting gabe in the mountains. This is egotistic; but you asked for it.
Bombay averages more than seventy-two inches of rain a year and gets most of it within four or five months.

A FEARLESS WRITER
This week’s mail brought to our desk volume I, number 1, of the
Houston Informer, a bright, newsy journal published at Houston,
Texas, and edited by G. F. Richardson of that city. We are quite
familiar with the writings of Mr. Richardson, having read many of
his articles while he was connected with the Houston Observer. He
is an able writer and a glance at the first issue of the Informer will
convinee anyone of his fearlessness, for it portrays the true character
of this great journalist. We see nothing but success for this news-
paper and it is our sincere wish that every person who reads this
article will send $2 for a year’s subscription to the Informer, thereby
helping this ‘‘Moses’’ of the Southland to continue his fight for
Righteousness and Justice and Freedom of an oppressed Race.
FORWARD, NOT BACKWARD, MR. WILSON
Beer and wine are spoken of in the President's message, that
comes to Congress from over the sea, in a way that is likely to arouse
certain people in almost all parts of the country. He asks that he
be given power to lift the ban so that the manufacturers of wines and
beers may proceed to yrepare it for all of us—for those who know
how iueh to take as well as for those who do not. It may be that
the President recommends such because of his being so far away
from home, and in the midst of those who do not think as Americans
think. Being so far away and then among, strangers may account
for the President's seeing strange things. He has been away from
home quite a while without being criticised severely, and from the
way we see it now it will pay him to stay on where he is and let us
run things over here. We have been running them pretty well here
of late and they seem to go better than they have been going. We
don’t want any more beer and wine. That is one long step toward
something stronger. We hope that the spirit of temperance in Con
gress is strong enough to rid the far-sent message of all that is not
good. There may not be much left of it if this done, but we hope
that it will be done. If we get beer, it will not be long before we
will want some of the real old ‘‘Rocking Rye,” without which none
can be perfect in his own sight. No, Mr. Wilson, we do not want
any beer—not just now. We have no place for the sale of it, for
the building in which we use to sell it is now used for'something bet-
ter, and the man who used to sell it there has not the time to bother
with it now, for he prefers being home with his wife and children,
who have plenty now and are running over with joy because of the
presence of papa at all times when he is not at work. We don’t want
anything to come back to us that is not good for all of us. Those
who think of bringing back wine and beer will be graciously (2°

CONFIDENCE IN RACE BUSINESS MEN
During the ante-bellum days our people learned to distrust each
otlier to a very large degree, and this relic is handed down to the
present time in a large measure. Many Colored business enterprises
ean trace their lack of Colored patronage to the lack of confidenéc
in their business ability by people of their own race. Sometimes ii
is pure mednness and cussedness on the part of many Colored people
that they do not patronize their own business enterprises and go to
whites, but it is largely due to the lack of confidence,
Haven’t you known of an error happening in some business
transdetion between parties, both Colored? Resulting from this
error the patron géts angry with the business firm and very often
makes the assertion, something like this: ‘‘I knew that nigger
wouldn’t do the right thing.’’ He gets angry and vows that he will
never again patronize a Colored business house, and if he stopped
there our story would end. But he goes about spreading lies and
suggesting suspicion to others. But let this be a business conductea
by whites and an error is made, he would think something like this:
“Course that’s a white man and he'll do the square thing even
though he made an error about it; he will correct it if I give him a
chanee.”” Notice he didn’t say anything about giving the Colored
person a chance.
As long as we have that distrust about the business qualifiea-
tions of each other, we can never hope to build up paying business
enterprises. We must learn to have confidence in each other, learn
to patronize each other ahd build up business of otir own Where ott
own boys and girls may find employment. ,
Sometime ago a certain Colored man opened up a certain busi-
ness jn this city; a young Colored person dropped into our offi¢e and
happened to speak of this particular business, and said that they had
some work they wanted done, but wondered if this mai could do it

SECOND CALL FOR CONVENTION
OF NORTHWESTERN FEDERA-

Dear Co-Workers:—
The time is fist approaching for
the biennial meeting of the North-
western Federation of Colored Wom
en's clubs at Grand Forks, N. D. Ave
you preparing to atignd? The Mace
donian cry has come to us from onr
sisters of the northwest. Are you
going to answer the call? They be-
lieve you are any they are making
elaborate preparations for your recep-
tion. They are being assisted by the
chureh, the press and: the communty
in their endeavor to extend to you
true western hospitality.
The commercial club of Grand Forks
has proffered the free use of their as-
sembly hall for the period of the ineet-
ings and plans are on foot to “show
us the west.” In turn, they are ex:
pecting us to bring them inspiration,
fresh from our club work, new to
them, and a program of reconstruction
which will be heipful and encouraging,
uplifting and progressive.
‘They are waiting to hear from you.
Answer the call by sending your name
to Mrs. Bessie E. Turpin, 1007, 4%
avenue, Grand Forks, N. D., for place-
ment, They are not preparing for a
thousand delegates. Remember it is
not the size of the attendance which
counts, but the interest, sincerity and
push that will be injected into the
meeting which will tell for the future
advancement of those who attend and
those whom we come in contact with.
Let us go prepared to leave our best
with them and bring away the best
they have to give. Make it a meet-
ing of reciprocity as well as recon-
struction, Let your reports come as
& result of hearts enlarged by the
terrible catastrophe of war.
‘The railroads are offering the old
summer excursion rates so that you
ean continue your journey westward
after the meeting. The Minnesota
Federation of C. W. C., through its

‘delivered to the members of the Fed-
eration at the meeting. held in this

“To Officers, Delegates, Members, Vis
iiors of the Arizona Federation cf
Colored Women's clubs:
“Time our pitiless master, ever
drives his tireless steeds in their un-
flagging flight.
“The minutes and hours speed by in
never ending succession, and almost
imperceptibly the present becomes the
past, the morrow yesterday. .'Ere we
realise it, our task is done, our du-
ties over, and the temporary moment
jot rest here. And so today we find
‘another year les buried in the past—
ja year as years have been and as
years will be, of joy and sorrow and
sunshine and. clowes,
“Again your president resigns Into
those hands which conferred it, the
high authority of her office.
“In these days of rush and: hurry
‘and go, women are inclined to give
but little thought to the things that
are behind, only looking forward and
pressing forward to the things that
are before; but upon the birth of a
new division of time, retrospection is
pardonable—and I might say, inevi-
table, and we of, the Arizona Feder-
ation, looking backward over the year
just ending, find a record of good
works and good deeds.
“We have helped our country by
buying Liberty Bonds, worked in Red
Cross campaigns for merey, sewed for
helpless Belgiums and, chief among
them all, we did not forget our poor
and needy here at home in our char-
ity work.
“During this fiseal year, we Insti-
tuted a club at Mesa City, Arizona,
known as “The Glee Club.”
“Though the clubs have been handi-
capped by the great influenza epicem-
ic, they have fought their way brave-
ly—showing greater strength fnan-
cially and in membership.
“We have tried to interest the
women of our race in this great up-
lift work throughout the State of
Arizona.
“Three years ago we started a build-
ing fund and in the near future we
hope to see our hopes realized. Again
I will mention the fact that we were
handicapped in our progress with our
omnes fand as many of us made a
sacrifice to purchase Liberty bonds,
Baby bonds and War Savings Stamps,
‘and endeavored to answer every other
call of our country—that victory might
be ours in the endg Our motto ‘Row-
ing, not drifting,’ was upheld.
“The suecess of the Federation, the
highest development of our organiza-
tion is not dependent alone upon the
body, but upon the individuals.
“Tt can truthfully say the Arizona
Federation of Colored Women’s clubs
Know no act of retrogression.
“To every member of the Executive
Board, 1 extend my sincere thanks ‘for
their hearty co-operation and support
during the year.
“In conclusion, I tender my heart:
felt thanks to every president, officer
pea member of the Federation clubs
for the friendship and excellent aid
[ziven me in our every effort for the
advancement of tle organization,
“The Past has had its reaamg; the
Present has its writing; the Future
has its hope.”

Federation of Colored Women's clubs,
‘at a time when each one, each group,
each section, must be considering the
gravest questions relative to. recon-
struction.
Your club work in its sufferings,
had no peculiar struggie. The whole
jsystemt of organization trembled,
‘struggled and groaned under the heavy
burden which was imposed by the war.
‘We are still struggling to recover ott

fort in endeavor to gain normality of

"Bedad,” Said bested “it ae

shot bigger than any of us suspects.”
“You'll find that it resolves itself
into 2 problem for Washington to
salve” std De Soto darkly.” “Nothing
local about it, take my word for it.
These men were up to some interna-
tonal devilment. There'll be a stir in
Washington over this, sure as any-
thing.” ;
“What time was it that you heard
the shots up ut Green Fancy?” ven-
tured Barnes.
“Lord love you,” erled O'Dowd, “we
didn’t hear a sound. “Mr, Curtis, who
has insomnia the worst way, poor
devil, heard them and sent some one
out to see hat all the racket was
about. The man, it seems, made such
& devil of a racket when he came
home with the news that the whole
house was up “in pajamas and peig-
noirs,”
“{ think I have a slight acquaintance
with the chauffeur,” said Barnes. “He
gave me the most thrilling motor ride
T’ye ever experienced. Gad, I'll never
forget it.”
‘The two men looked at him, plainly
perplexed.
“When was all this?” inquired De
Soto,
“Barly last evening. He picked up
your latest guest at the corners, and
she insisted in his driving me to the
tavern before the storm broke. I've
been terribly anxious about her. She
must have been caught out in all that
frightful—”
“What's this you are saying, Mr.
Barnes?” cut in De Soto, frowning.
“No guest arrived at Green Fancy last
evening, nor was one expected.”
Barnes stared. “Do you mean to
say that she didn't get there, after
all?”
“She? A woman, was it?” demand-
ed O'Dowd. +“Bedad, if she’ said she
was coming to Green Faney she was
spoofing you. Are you sure it was old
Peter who gave you that jolly ride?”
“No, I am not sure,” said Barnes
uneasily. “She was afoot, having
walked from the station below. I met
her at the corners and she asked me if
I ‘knew how far it was to Green
Faney, or something like that. Said
she was going there. ‘Then along came
the automobile, rattling down this
very rond—an ancient Panhard driven
by an old codger. She seemed to think
it was all right to hop in and trust
herself to him, although she'd never
seen him before.” =
“The antique Panhard fits in all
right,” said O'Dowd, “but T'm hanged
if the woman fits at all. No such per-
son arrived at Green Fancy lastnight.”
“Did you get a square look at the
driver's face?” demanded De Soto,
“It was almost too dark to.see, but
he was old, hatchet-faced, and spoke
with an accent.”
“Then {t couldn't have been Peter,”
sald De Soto positively. “He's old,
right enough, but he is as big as the
side of a house, with a face like a full
moon, and he is Yankee to his toes.
By gad, Barnes, the plot thickens! A
woman has been added to the mystery,
Now, who the devil is she and what
‘has become of her?”

“It would give me great pleasure If

“Good Lord, I am not thinking of—"
And Barnes, aghast, stopped beford
blurting out the words that leaped td
his lips: “I mean to say this is a prop}
osition that may also affect your ex:
‘cellent companions, Bacon and Dilling:
ford, as well as yourself.”
‘At twelve-thirty sharp Barnes cama
down from his room freshly shaved
and brushed, to find not only Mr. Rush+
croft and Miss ‘Thackeray awaiting
him in the office, but the Messrs. Dil’
Mngford and Bacon as well.
“I took the liberty, old fellow,” said
Rusheroft, addressing Barnes, “ot ask;
ing my excellent co-workers to join us
in our repast.”
“Delighted to have you with us, gen:
tlemen,” said Barnes affably.
| The sole topic of conversation fos
‘the first half hour was the mysteriouy
‘slaying of their fellow lodgers. Mr,
Rusheroft complained bitterly of the
outrageous, high-handed action of the
coroner and sheriff in imposing upon
him and his company the same re;
strictions that had been applied to
Barnes. They were not to leave thé
county until the authorities gave the
| word. One would have thought, ta
hear the star’s indignant lamentations,
‘that he and his party were in a posi;
‘ton to depart when they pleased. It
|would have been diffleult to imagine
‘that he was not actually rolling in
money instead of being absolutely
penniless,
Barnes had been immersed !2 hig
own thoughts for some time. A slight
| frown, as of reflection, darkened his
jeves. Sudidenly—perhaps impolitely—
he interrupted Mr. Rusheroft’s flow of
| eloquence.
| ‘Have you any objection, Mr. Rush;
Jerott, toa more or less personsl ques!
| tion concerning your own private—er—
misfortunes?” he asked, leaning for-
ward, i
For a moment one could have heard
a pin drop. Mr. Rushcroft evidently
held his breath. ‘There could be no
mistake about that,
“It's rather delicate, but would you
mind telling me just how much’ you
were stuck up for by the—er—was it
a writ of attachment?”
“It was,” said the star, “A writ
|of inquisition, you might as well sub-
stitute. The act of a polluted, impe-
cunious, parsimonious—what shall I
say? Well, I will be as simple as pos:
sible—hotel keeper. Ninety-seven dol-
lars and forty cents. For that pitiful
amount he subjected me to—"
“Well, that isn’t so bad,” said
Barnes, vastly relieved. He was cov.
ertly watching Miss Thackeray's half:
averted face as he ventured upon. the
proposition he.had decided to put be
fore them. “I am prepared and wil-
ling to advance this amount, Mr. Rush-
croft, and to take your personal note
as security.”
Rusheroft leaned back in his chair
and: stuck his thumbs in the armholes
of his vest. He displayed no undue
elation. Instead he affected profound
calculations. His daughter shot a
Swift, searching look at the would-be
Samaritan. There was a heightened
color in her cheeks.

IT PAYS TO PAY CASH
THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
GREEN FANCY (Continued from page 3)
Dilly! We shall be in New York tomorrow!"
"You forget the dictatorial sheriff, Mr. Rusheroft," said Barnes.
"The varlet!" barked Mr. Rusheroft.
It was arranged that Dillingford and Bacon were to go to Hornville in a hired motor that afternoon, secure the judgment, pay the costs, and attend to the removal of the personal belongings of the stranded quartette from the hotel to Hart's Tavern. The younger actors stoutly refused to accept Barnes' offer to pay their board while at the Tavern. That, they declared, would be charity, and they preferred his friendship and his respect to anything of that sort. Miss Thackeray, however, was to be immediately relieved of her position as chambermaid. She was to become a paying guest.
Rusheroft took the whole affair with the most noteworthy complacency. He seemed to regard it as his due, or
A
Rushcroft Took the Whole Affair With the Most Noteworthy Complacency. more properly speaking as if he were doing Barnes a great favor in allowing him to lend money to a person of his importance.
"A thought has just come to me, my dear fellow," he remarked as they arose from table. "With the proper kind of backing I could put over one of the most stupendous things the theater has known in fifty years. I don't mind saying to you—although it's rather sub rosa—that I have written a play—a four-act drama that will pack the biggest house on Broadway to the roof for as many months as we'd care to stay. Perhaps you will allow me to talk it over with you a little later on. You will be interested. I'm sure, Egad, sir, I'll read the play to you. I'll—What ho, landlord. Have your best automobile sent around to the door as quickly as possible. A couple of my men are going to Hornville to fetch hither my—"
"Just a minute," interrupted Putnam Jones, wholly unimpressed. "A man just called you up on the phone, Mr. Barnes. I told him you was entertaining royalty at lunch and couldn't be disturbed. So he asked me to have you call him up as soon as you revived. His words, not mine, Call up Mr. O'Dowd at Green Fancy. Here's the number." The mellow voice of the Irishman soon responded to Barnes' call.
"I called you up to relieve your mind regarding the young woman who came last night," he said. "You observe that I say 'came.' She's quite all right, safe and sound, and no cause for uneasiness. I thought you meant that she was coming here as a guest, and so I made the very natural mistake of saying she hadn't come at all, at all. The young woman in question is Mrs. Van Dyke's maid. But, bless me soul, how was I to know she was even in existence, much less expected by train or motor or Shanks' mare? Well, she's here, so there's the end of our mystery."
Barnes was slow in replying. He was doubting his own ears. It was not conceivable that an ordinary—or even an extraordinary—lady's maid could have possessed the exquisite voice and manner of his chance acquaintance of the day before, or the temerity to order that sour-faced chauffeur about as if— The chauffeur!
"But I thought you said that Mr. Curtis' chauffeur was moon-faced and—"
"He is, bedad," broke in Mr. O'Dowd, chuckling. "That's what deceived me entirely, and no wonder. It wasn't Peter at all, but the rapscallion washer who went after her. He was instructed to tell Peter to meet the four o'clock train, and the blockhead forgot to give the order. Bedad, what does he do but sneak out after her himself, scared out of his boots for fear of what he was to get from Peter. I had the whole story from Mrs. Van Dyke." "Well, I'm tremendously relieved," said Barnes slowly.
"And so am I," said O'Dowd with conviction. "I have seen the heroine of our busted romance. She's a good-looking girl. I'm not surprised that she kept her veil down. If you were to leave it to me, though, I'd say that it's a sha to carry discretion so far as all that. You see what I mean, don't you?" His rich laugh came over the wire.
"Perfectly. Thank you for letting
me know. My mind is at rest. Goodby." As he hung up the receiver he said to himself, "You are a most affable, convincing chap, Mr. O'Dowd, but I don't believe a word you say. That woman is no lady's maid, and you've known all the time that she was there."
At four o'clock he set out alone for a trump up the mountain road in which the two men had been shot down. His mind was quite clear. Roon and Paul were not ordinary robbers. They were, no doubt, honest men. He would have said that they were thieves bent on burglarizing Green Fancy were it not for the disclosures of Miss Thackeray and the very convincing proof that they were not shot by the same man.
It was not beyond reason—indeed, it was quite probable—that they were trying to cross the border; in that event their real operations would be confined to the Canadian side of the line. He could not free himself of the suspicion that Green Fancy possessed the key to the situation. Roon and his companion could not have had the slightest interest in his movements up to the instant he encountered the young woman at the crossroads. His busy brain suddenly suffered the shock of a distinct conclusion. Was she a fellow conspirator? Was she the inside worker at Green Fancy in a well-laid plan to rife the place?
Could it be possible that she was the confederate of these painstaking agents who lurked with sinister patience outside the very gates of the place called Green Fancy?
His ramble carried him far beyond the spot where Roon's body was found and where young Conley had come upon the tethered horses. His eager, curious gaze swept the forest to the left of the road in search of Green Fancy. Overcome by a rash, daring impulse, he climbed over the stake and rider fence and sauntered among the big trees which so far had obscured the house from view. The trees grew very thickly on the slope, and they were unusually large. He progressed deeper into the wood. At the end of what must have been a mile he halted. There was no sign of habitation, no indication that man had ever penetrated so far into the forest. As he was on the point of retracing his steps toward the road his gaze fell upon a huge moss-covered rock less than a hundred yards away. He stared, and gradually it began to take on angles and planes and recesses of the most astounding symmetry. Under his widening gaze it was transformed into a substantial object of cubes and gables and—yes, windows.
He was looking upon the strange home of the even stranger Mr. Curtis—Green Fancy.
Now he understood why it was called Green Fancy. Its surroundings were no greener than itself; it seemed to melt into the foliage, to become a part of the natural landscape. Mountain ivy literally enveloped it. Exposed sections of the house were painted green; the doors were green; the leafy porches and their columns, the chimney pots, the window hangings—all were the color of the unchanging forest. And it was a place of huge dimensions, low and long and rambling.
“Gad,” he said to himself, “what manner of crank is he who would bury himself like this? Of all the crazy ideas I ever—”
His reflections ended there. A wom an crossed his vision; a woman strolling slowly toward him through the intricate avenues of the wildwood.
CHAPTER VII.
Spun-Gold Hair, Blue Eyes and Various Encounters.
She was quite unaware of his presence, and yet he was directly in her path, though some distance away. Her head was bent; her men was thoughtful, her stride slow and aimless. She was slender, graceful and evidently quite tall, although she seemed a pigmy among the towering giants

that attended her stroll. Her hands were thrust deep into the pocket of a white duck skirt. A glance revealed white shoes and trim ankles in blue. She wore no hat. Her hair was like spun gold, thick, wavy and shimmering in the subdued light.
Suddenly she stopped and looked up. He had a full view of her face as she

gized about as if startled by some unexpected, even alarming sound. For a second or two he held his breath, stunned by the amazing loveliness that was revealed to him. Then she discovered him standing there.
In a flash he realized that he was face to face with the stranger of the day before. He took two or three impulsive steps forward, his hand going to his hat—and then halted. Evidently his senses had decelled him. There was no smile in her eyes—and yet he could have sworn that it was there an instant before. Instead there was a level stare.
"I am sorry if I startled—" he began.
The figure of a man appeared as if discharged bodily from some magic tree-trunk, and stood directly in his path—a tall, rugged man in overalls was he, who held a spade in his haud and eyed him inimically. Without another glance in his direction the first and more pleasing vision turned on her heel and continued her stroll, saunting off to the right, her fair head once more bent in study, her back eloquently indifferent to the gaze that followed her.
"Who do you want to see?" inquired the man with the spade. Before Barnes could reply a hearty voice accosted him from behind. He whirled and saw O'Dowd approaching, not twenty yards away. The Irishman's face was aglow with pleasure. "I knew I couldn't be mistaken in the shape of you," he cried, advancing with outstretched hand. "You've got the breadth of a dockhand in your shoulders and the trimness of a prize fighter in your waist."
They shook hands. "I fear I am trespassing," said Barnes. His glance went over his shoulder as he spoke. The man with the spade had been swallowed up by the earth! He could not have vanished more quickly in any other way. Off among the trees were intermittent flashes of blue and white. "I am quite sure you are," said O'Dowd promptly but without a trace of unfriendliness in his manner. "Bedad, loving him as I do, I can't help saying that Curtis is a bally old crank. Mind ye, I'd say it to his face—I often do, for the matter of that. Of course," he went on seriously, "he is a sick man, poor devil. You see I've known him for a dozen years and more, and he likes me, though God knows why, unless it may be that I once did his son a good turn in London."
"Sufficient excuse for repairation, I should say," smiled Barnes.
"I introduced the lad to me only sister," said O'Dowd, "and she kept him happy for the next ten years. No doubt I also provided Mr. Curtis with three grandchildren he might never have but for my graciousness."
A look of distress came into his merry eyes. "By Jove, I'd like nothing better than to ask you in to have a dish of ten—it's teatime. I'm sure—but I'd no more think of doing it than I'd consider cutting off me head. He doesn't like strangers. He—"
"My dear fellow, don't distress yourself," cried Barnes heartily. "There isn't the least interest in the world why—"
"You see, the poor old chap asks us up here once or twice a year—that is to say, De Soto and me—to keep his sister from filling the house up with men he can't endure. So long as we occupy the only available rooms, he argues, she can't stuff them full of objectionables. Twice a year she comes for a month, in the late fall and early spring."
"Why does he continue to live in this out-of-the-world spot? He is an old man, I take it, and ill."
"You wouldn't be wondering if you knew the man," said O'Dowd. "He is a scholar, a dreamer, a sufferer. He's not a very old man at that. Not more than sixty-five."
"He certainly has a fanciful streak in him, building a place like that," said Barnes, looking not at the house but into the thicket above. There was no sign of the blue and white and the spun gold that still defied exclusion from his mind's eye. He had not recovered from the thrall into which the vision of loveliness plunged him. He was still a trifle dazed and distraught. "Right you are," agreed O'Dowd; "the queercest streak in the world. It's his notion of simplicity."
"Green Fancy. Is that the name he gave the place or does it spring from—"
"ITwas christened by me own sister, Mr. Barnes, the first time she was here, two years ago. I'll walk with you to the fence beyond if you've no objections," said O'Dowd genially, and linked his arm through that of Barnes.
The latter was at once subtly aware of the fact that he was being deliberately conducted from the grounds. Moreover, he was now convinced that O'Dowd had been close upon his heels from the instant he entered them. There was something uncanny in the feeling that possessed him. Such esplonge as this signified something deep and imperative in the presence not only of O'Dowd but the jack-in-the-box gardener a few minutes earlier.
His mind was still full of the lovely stranger about whom O'Dowd had so manifestly lied over the telephone.
"I must ask you to apologize to the young lady on whom I blundered a few moments ago, Mr. O'Dowd. She must have been startled. Pray convey to her my solicitude and excuses."
"Consider it done, my dear sir," said the Irishman. "Our most charming and seductive guest," he went on. "Bedad, of the two of you. I'll stake me head you were startled the most. Coming suddenly upon such rare loveliness is almost equivalent to being (Continued next week)

We are today in receipt of a communication from our representative in the Ranger field that the derrick has been started on the Woods tract.
He also advised that the Poteet well began drilling May 14th, and from present indications the well will be one of the big ones of the field. The lessees are already putting up storage tanks to take care of the oil. This well is hardly 1/2 mile from our holdings.
He also advises us that less than 1/4 of a mile northeast of our Walker tract the well being drilled there has also reached the top of the Black Lime with a splendid showing of oil. They will probably be delayed some time on that well because of an accident to the casing. The indications in both wells, however, have confirmed the selection of these two tracts by us and we are confidently looking forward to production of from 5,000 to 10,000 barrels in each well.
We wish our stockholders to constantly bear in mind that these two purchasers represent but a small portion of our ultimate holdings, and, judging by the rapidity with which our stock is being taken up, we should within a very short time be drilling wells on several other locations.

The Paradise Baptist Association Executive Board will convene Wednesday, June 11-15, 1919, with the Second Baptist church of Phoenix.
By order of J. B. BELL, Moderator.
WM. YOUNG, Corresponding Secretary.
Fort Huachuca
Lieut. Frierson, Lieut. Lyons, Lieut. Betties and First Sgt. A. Booker have just returned from service overseas. We welcome these boys in khaki and blue, who sailed away o'er the rolling tide, so gay and brave, to carry the banner of truth and right, and who might have in a noble cause.
Mrs. Ella Hudnell entertained with a very lovely bridge luncheon Monday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Fannie Johnson.
Mrs. Joseph Harper entertained about twelve with a pretty dinner party. Pink and white roses were used for decorating in honor of Sgt. and Mrs. Cooper.
The post dance was largely attended Thursday evening, and the music was excellent.
Mrs. Rosa Bibbens has just returned from a visit to Kansas City.
Mrs. Maud Johnson is visiting in Nogales.
Mrs. Charles Smart is visiting in Georgia.
Port Huachuca is very much grieved to learn of the sad death of Lieut. James Reese Europe of New York. He was one of the Race's greatest jazz band leaders as well as one of the most renowned musical composers. We extend our heart-felt sympathy to his wife and family.
BISBEE
(By Miss Myrtle Threat)
A dance was given last Saturday at the new clubrooms in honor of the Tenth Cavalry. Many were present, including a few guests from Naco. All enjoyed a pleasant evening.
The Tenth Cavalry ball team played the C. & A. (white) of Bisbee last Sunday afternoon and won the game with a score of 8 to 6. They brought along their thirty-piece orchestra, that played some beautiful strains of music while the game was in progress. This entrenching music put the real "pep" in the Tenth Cavalry boys and there was nothing else for them to do but win the game—and they did.
Mrs. White, mother of Mr. Edgar Williams, who went to Portland last fall, was taken to the hospital last week. She has been ill for some time and we hope she will soon recover.
Mrs. Janie Washington gave a private picnic in her back yard last week in honor of Mrs. A. D. Russel, who will leave soon for a visit back East. A dainty picnic was served and all enjoyed the refreshments. Those present were Mesdames J. H. House, L. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Washington, Miss Ellen McHenry, little Miss Bessie Grant and Mrs. Harold Parker. Miss Lillian Grice, who has been attending school at Marshall, Teas, returned to Bisbee last week to spend the summer with her mother, Mrs. Emma Hearne.
The Mothers' Day program was highly enjoyed Sunday, May 11. Much credit is due Miss Mabel Smith for preparing the pieces and training the children. Mrs. Charles Worsham beautifully decorated the hall with her art and flowers for the occasion. Ice cream and cake were served after the program. Mesdames Worsham and Deware superintended the serving of refreshments. Mrs. H. E. Thomas left Tuesday on a business mission to El Paso, Texas, and Tucumcari, N. M. The Sunday school will endeavor to entertain the public again on Children's Day. June 8 is the date and we shall tell you the place in our next announcement. Everybody welcome.
RAY
(By Archie Lewis)
Mrs. A. Smith underwent a very serious operation at the Ray Con. hospital last week. She was quite ill for a few days after the operation, but is now resting easily. Her many friends hope for her a speedy recovery.
The members of the Sunnyside base ball club will have a meeting next Thursday night to complete arrangements for an entertainment that will be given soon. The proceeds from the entertainment will be used to purchase uniforms and equipment. The men are practicing regularly and their initial game will be played soon.
Abe Bueford and Lonnie Harris are the owners of two famous game roosters and each was boasting of the fighting ability of their respective roosters. Accordingly, a fight was arranged and pulled off last Friday. Lonnie's rooster is named Tom and Abe's rooster is named Jerry. Jerry was too much for Tom and made him take the count within a very short time. Lonnie says Tom will make a better stew than a fighter, so into the pot he will go next Sunday. Have a heart, Lonnie.
There was quite a shake-up here last Wednesday night. Jim Coleman was doing the "Sh-mmy."
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. McDonald and
a party of Friends went on a picnic up to Box canyon last Sunday. The water is fine up there and the picnickers had quite an enjoyable time performing aquatic stunts. They took a number of baskets all laden with the delicacies of the season and, believe me, they had "some" feed. While returning to camp they encountered a large gila monster and Mr. McDonald killed him and brought him in as a souvenir. He is the largest monster we have ever seen in this section.
causes a constant unrest year after year.
Owing to the inadequate conditions there is a migration of Negro citizens who would prove a blessing to this city; they leave Tucson seeking better educational advantages. Believe that principal who is in charge has done his best, but has been unable to overcome these conditions, hence we are asking for a change.

FLAGSTAFF
(By Reginald Jackson).
The church dinner given by members of the Baptist church was a great success. They realized $54.
Mesdames Judge Miller and Cassie Cobb entertained with a whist party at the beautiful residence of Mrs. Miller. The entertainment was given last Thursday evening and a number of guests was present. After enjoying many interesting card games, the hostess served a delightful luncheon that was indeed appetizing and refreshing. At a late hour the guests departed, all declaring Mesdames Miller and Cobb charming entertainers.
Mr. G. T. Cook, a plasterer, who came here for the purpose of doing some work on the Normal school building, left Monday evening for his home in Imperial valley. He expects to return soon.
Mr. Joe Taylor is a recent arrival in the city.
PRESGOTT
(By Helen H. Vance)
Under the direction of Mrs. Paris Tabron, the People's A. M. E. Zion church rendered the following sacred program:
Address.....William Young
Solo.....Miss Mayme Lindell
Reading.....Mrs. William Young
Solo.....L. J. Harris
Presentation.....Mrs. Harvey
Solo.....Helen Harper Vance
Anthem.....Choir
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have secured a location at 406 South Moitezuma, where they will open a first-class hand laundry.
The Specific Mortgage Club of the A. M. B. Zion church raised $120 at the rally last Sunday. This club endeavors to raise at least $100 monthly in order to liquidate the church debt. Mr. and Mrs. William Staten are rehearsing for a musical which will be presented at an early date at Daughterty's hall. Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Garret motored to the Bannie mine and remained there over Sunday. Miss Emma Lindell of Phoenix is the guest of her sister, Miss Mayme Lindell, who resides on South Cortez street. Messrs. William Staten and Grant were initiated into the mysteries of the Masonic order and are now members of Thumb Butte Lodge, F. and A. Masons.
Helen Harper Vance, who for the past year has been attending the Prairie View State Normal, at Prairie View, Texas, returned Friday and will resume her former position as representative for the Phoenix Tribune in Prescott. She asks that you kindly submit all news items before Tuesday. Pone 267.
TUGSON
(By Rev. S. E. Newell)
The voice of some of the better-thinking Negroes in the city of Tucson, county of Pima, State of Arizona, U. S. A., this goes forth as a petition to the school authorities in the above named city, county and state:
We, the liberty-loving members of the Race, and those who are interested in the educational advancement of the Negro boys and girls, deem it but fitting that we call upon those in authority for consideration along the line of our school facilities.
Permit us to say in the outset, we feel our inability to adequately express our thanks and appreciation to the School Board, for the past favors shown us in whatever way they may have been.
We are well aware, however, that there are no favorable provisions made in the school laws for Negro children in Arizona, yet we believe that there is enough red blood in the veins of the American white people in this city to give some consideration to the spirit of the law, inasmuch as the Negro children under the present system are constantly retrograding.
One of the unfortunate features is that the principal of the school is a man who the patrons and pupils are bitterly opposed to; this conditions
causes a constant unrest year after year.
Owing to the inadequate conditions there is a migration of Negro citizens who would prove a blessing to this city; they leave Tucson seeking better educational advantages. Believe that principal who is in charge has done his best, but has been unable to overcome these conditions, hence we are asking for a change.
As you realize quite fully, we can only hope to succeed during these trying days of reconstruction in proportion as you will permit us to succeed.
The following are some of the undesired existing conditions:
First—The Negro child is in the need of the same equipment and favorable educational surroundings to make him a desirable citizen as is the child of any other race.
Second—Satisfactory results cannot be had with 40 to 45 pupils through nine grades with only two teachers.
Third—Since parents and pupils have seemingly lost interest and respect for the principal, we readily realize that better results cannot be hoped for without a change.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration along this line, we are yours for the uplift of humanity.
DOUGLAS
(By Sgt. James Weatherly)
The Tribune-of last week's issue was a "hummer," and everyone in Douglas wanted a copy Saturday morning. Why not hand in your subscription and have the paper sent to your address?
The Missionary Sisters gave a delightful tea party last Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Jones in Pirtleville.
The ladies of the C. M. E. church gave a supper at the home of Mrs. J. B. Goodby last Friday evening. The proceeds were used for the benefit of the church.
Mrs. J. Jackson, 1501 D avenue, who has been suffering with ptoma? poisoning, is much improved.
Mrs. J. F. Laster, 617 Fifth street, returned this week from an extended visit in California. She has many nice things to say about California. The home of Srtg. and Mrs. James Weatherly has been one of sorrow the past week. First, a letter was received from Holly Springs, Miss, stating that Srtg. Weatherly's sister had passed away last Sunday morning; then the sad news came in from Nogales, Arizona, that the son of Lleut, and Mrs. Cagle had been killed. No definite information has been received here concerning the trouble which led to the killing. Lieut. Cagle left Monday for Nogales and will bring the remains here for interment in the local cemetery. The slain soldier was a private of Co. C, 25th Infantry.
Mrs. S. J. Boyd, 806 Sixteenth street, received a letter from her husband, Srgt. S. J. Boyd, of San Francisco, stating that he would sail for Russia on May 24., Mrs. Boyd regrets very much that she will not be permitted to make her trip to the Philippines.
Kindly give your subscription to Srgt. James Weatherly, 946 Sixteenth street.
AJO
(By Mrs. Myrtle Jones)
Mrs. L. Williams left last week for an extended visit with relatives in the East. She will visit New Orleans, Chicago, and other points of interest. The People's Forum met last Monday evening and held a very interesting meeting.
Rev. Major Jones preached a wonderful sermon Sunday. All present enjoyed the discourse. His subject was, "Trust in the Lord."
Ajo is indeed proud to have the 25th Infantry stationed here. We learn that they will depart soon for another post.
Mrs. Harry Henderson has been indisposed the past week. We trust she will soon recover.
Friday evening Rev. Vaughn will preach a memorial sermon at the church and there will be other numbers on the program.
