NO. 11 Million JACK JOHNSTON TO BOX SAM LANGFORD IN MEXICO ON JULY 4TH. (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK, June 10.—Thirteen years ago, at Chelsea, Mass., Sam Langford, then a middleweight, lost a 15-round decision to Jack Johnson, a heavyweight, who knocked Sam down a couple of times during the milling. Sam got bigger, Johnson became a champion, but never again could the Boston baby entice "Lil Arthur" into the squared circle. But today it is different, Sig Hart, representing Langford, and Gus Rhodes, a cousin of Johnson's met recently and concluded all arrangements for a finish fight between the two warriors in the bullring at Juarez, Mex., on July 4th. Some eight or nine years ago this would have been a wonderful battle, worth going miles to see, and even at this late date it promises a lively evening, or maybe it will be held in the afternoon, for those fight fans who care to brave the revolutionists and others in making the trip to the ring-side. The same bitterness of feeling exists as existed 13 years ago, and nothing would please Sam more than to upset Johnson in this, his first of a series of five fights to be staged on Mexican soil, backed by a syndicate of Mexican business men. Langford blames Johnson for his refusal to give him a crack at the title, and the Boston Baby has already started active training as he never tried before to be in tiptop shape when the gong rings at Mexico.

NEW YORK, June 10.—One white man is dead, a second seriously wounded and the police are looking for an unidentified negro, whom they claim is responsible for the killing the result of a penny crap game. RACE MAKES GREAT PROGRESS ALONG EDUCATIONAL LINES There has been a wonderful increase in the readiness of Southern school superintendents and school boards to urge the appropriation of money for colored schools. Recently the Legislature of South Carolina appropriated $74,000 for the annual work of the State Colored Agricultural and Mechanical College at Orangeburg. The legislature of Louisiana appropriated $25,000 for a new building at the state school for colored youths to meet the $25,000 offered by the General Education Board. Now the county school boards are paying for the larger part of the Jeanes teachers' salaries through the South. Recently the state superintendent of public instruction in North Carolina said that it was the aim of the Department of Education to provide a good high school for colored boys and girls in every county. At present there are 14 county training schools in North Carolina. Last year there were 54 of these advanced schools in the South, to which the Jeanes fund gave $30,000, the General Education Board, $15,000, and the county authorities, $132,000. This year there are 73 of these schools which give colored youth some valuable training through the tenth grade. Virginia now has six and plans to have twelve next year.—James H. Dillard in the Southern Workman. Phoenix Will Have 50,000 Population By 1921 Say Realtors (Arizona Gazette, June 9, 1919) Phoenix, a city of 50,000 population by 1921. That is not the dream of a dreamer, nor even the ravings of a madman. It is a good, sound, conservative estimate of the city's population two years hence, based on the growth now being experienced. To have made such a prediction 3 years ago would have resulted in the individual daring such a forecast to be subjected to a thorough examination. But now even the most skeptical are convinced that Phoenix cannot long be withheld from the metropolitan class. Just glance about you and see what is going on and you will readily realize that Phoenix is enjoying the most remarkable growth of its history. Even though you be a skeptic you must admit that there has never been such activity heretofore. To your right you see new business Blocks going up like magic; new apartment houses are being constructed to meet the ever-increasing demand and new dwellings are in the course of construction. To the left you see more business blocks in the course of construction, more apartment houses and more dwellings. In front of you are two or three other new business blocks and dozens of dwellings with a sprinkling of apartment houses and behind you are a couple of more business blocks and more and more dwellings and apartment houses. Phoenix is not to be denied. Why, man, here is the future metropolis of the southwest. Phoenix is growing like that old proverbial weed. Someone once said that Phoenix would never be much of a city without a main line railroad. Well, Phoenix is going to be "some town," not because of a main line railroad, but in spite of one. You simply can't keep a "good man down," as the old saying goes. Where in all the southwest is there such signs of prosperity? You might find them in some Texas communities, where great oil booms are in sway. But Phoenix is not experiencing an oil boom; Phoenix isn't experiencing any kind of a boom—it's just a steady growth—a growth founded on a concrete foundation. But give Phoenix the main line railroad, to which it is entitled, and in two years' time, at the outside, it will show a gain of 25,000 population. Phoenix is going to have a main line railroad, too. The said main line cannot long afford to remain out of this ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY HEAD OF TUSKEGEE HAS ENTERED THE GAME OF POLITICS HEAD OF TUSKEGEE HAS ENTERED THE GAME OF POLITICS (Special to The Tribune) NEW YORK, June 10.—Dr. Moton, it is reported on reliable authority, has recommended to Chairman Hays, of the National Republican Executive Committee certain Colored men to constitute a Colored advisory committee. The same report says that Chairman Hays wil rely on Dr. Moton's recommendations in national politics, if Colored voters in northern states offer no protest. Musical Comedy Presented By Company Of Colored Performers (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, June 10.—"We are the most warlike people when let alone; the most peaceful when abused." With this quaint bit of humorous philosophy Billy King, the performer, ushered in the most unusual theatrical performance ever presented by the Race for entertainment. The play, known in the theatrical titles as a "musical comedy," is that, and more. It carries a clever story bringing out the military success in France, the effort to get representation at the Peace Conference, the handicaps, and the final determination to continue to be real Americans, and "fight it out on this line" if it takes a dozen summers. During the dialogue of the play, pertinent reference is made of the old "Illinois Eighth Regiment," representing the soldiers; the National Association of Colored People, representing organization; the Chicago Defender representing the newspapers, and Chicago, representing the best there is in American democracy. The play is being produced for several weeks at the Grand Theatre. There are forty people in the company and the principals are: Mme Rose L. Tyler, Sadie McCarver, Gertrude Saunders, Clarence Stevens Maio Gerwood, Ernest P. Whitman, M. I. Slater, Manzie Campbell and Billy King. The costumes and various scenic effects surpass anything ever seen in racial showdom. Those who view the production declare that the theatrical profession is demonstrating its earnest desire to push the program for real democracy and justice. Mr. King is one of the best known performers and his home in Chicago, 3219 South Park Avenue, is regarded as one of the most beautiful and elaborately furnished of any member of the race anywhere. city. As cities are more or less dependent upon railroads, so are railroads dependent upon cities. It is only reasonable to expect, therefore, that with the rapid growth of the city and surrounding community, railroad officials will awaken to the necessity of providing better rail facilities. It is only a question of time before Phoenix, the hub of Arizona, will be accorded its just recognition by the railroads. The only speculative fact is just when such main line will be constructed. If the growth of the city continues as at present it will unquestionably be within the next two years. As stated previously, the present rapid growth does not assume the form of a boom. It is just natural growth—growth to which the city is, by all rights, entitled to as the center of the richest agricultural district in the world, the capital of the greatest copper mining state in the union, the distributing point for one of the most rapidly growing states in these great United States. But there is a possibility that Phoenix may experience a boom at an early date, which, of course, will give even greater impetus to the growth. NEW YORK, June 10.-Harry Rudolph, white, 13 years of age, of Far Rockaway, died from concussion of the brain as the result of a first fight with Paul Butler, 1534 Leland avenue, a colored boy. The boys got into a quarrel on the way to a baseball game according to the authorities. PHOEN'K, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1919 PLURIBUS UNUM BRILLIANT MILITARY RECORD OF EUTENANT EUGENE P. FRIERSON BRILLIANT MILITARY RECORD OF EUTENANT EUGENE P. FRIERSON [Portrait of a soldier in military uniform]. LIEUT. EUGENE P. FRIERSON By Florence Bradley Enlisted in October, 1892, and after receiving his recruit training at Jefferson barracks, Mo., was assigned to Troop K, 10th Cavalry, at Fort Custer, Montana. He served continuously with the 10th Cavalry at various stations throughout the United States, Cuba, the Philippine Islands and Mexico, and was with that regiment when it made its famous trip around the world in 1909. He was commissioned a First Lieutenant in the 8th Illinois Infantry, in the federal service in July 1916, and was stationed with that regiment at Fort Sam Houston, Texas until it was mustered out of the service. He again enlisted in the 10th Cavalry, serving as regimental sergeant major until he received his commission from the officer's training school at Camp Stanley, Tex., in 1918. Upon being commissioned Lieutenant Frierson was assigned to the 366th Infantry, performing the duties of assistant regimental adjutant and major 3rd battalion. He was with the 92nd division in France and participated in the engagements in which the 92nd division was involved, in the St. Die sector, Vosges, the Meuse-Argonne offensive and the Marbache-Metz offensive operations with the 2nd army and at the time of the signing of the armistice was with his regiment in the front line within 8 and $ \frac{1}{2} $ miles of Metz. He served with the 366th Infantry until that regiment was mustered out of the Federal service in March, 1919, when he was assigned to duty in the office of the discharge unit at Camp Grant, Ill., where he remained until he was honorably discharged as an officer the latter part of April, 1919. Lieut. Frierson served *s corporal and sergeant in Troop K, 10th Cavalry, for 8 years and was squadron and regimental sergeant-major, 10th Cavalry, continuously for 16 years. He has participated in several nation match rifle competitions, is the winner of two divisional rifle medals and is an expert rifle and pistol shot. He was Worshipful Master of the 10th Cavalry Lodge of Masons for several years and is a 32nd degree Mason. He is now at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, awaiting retirement as regimental sergeant major. We regret so much to lose Sgt.-Maj Frierson. Being one of the 10th Cavalry's most competent regimental sgt. majors the regiment has ever had. He is one of our social leaders and well liked by the officers and enlisted men. He is popular in his regiment. He only wish we had more Sgt.-Maj Friersons. He will join his family in Chicago. COLORED MAN BONDED FOR $50,000 IN OHIO CANTON, O.. June 10.—Edward Baylock, custodian at the First Trust and Savings Company, this city, who has "a smile that won't come off", is bonded for $50,000, said to be the highest bonded colored man in the state. TRIBUNE NEGRO ELECTED TO PHI BETA KAPPA AT UNIVERSITY OF WIS. (Special To The Tribune) MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 10—Mr. Jose Escabi, senior in the College of Medicine, University of Wisconsin, has been elected to membership in the undergraduate fraternity for excellent scholarship. Mr. Escabi entered the University in 1915 and doing his entire stay had never fallen below the grade of "good" approximately 91 per cent in his averages. During the present school year and the summer session of 1918 he has served as instructor in anatomy at the University. At the conclusion of his work here Mr. Escabi will study at the Harvard School of Medical Science. New York Evening Post Lands Achievements Of Madam C. J. Walker (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, June 10—The New York Evening Post declares that the last straw in the demonstration of the American's idea of success has been broken and wiped away by the late Madam Walker, who, in business, played the game with true American skill. Says the Post: "What more American than a millionaire whose fortune was made by a patent hair restorative? The Negro race has produced poets of note, composers, orators, a great educator, who also was a distinguished writer. But it gave itself the full stamp of Americanism by producing in "Madam" Walker a woman who built up a great business on the formula for a scalp decoction. Her field having been confined to the Negro population—though it is denied she claimed ability to straighten hair—her fortune is equivalent to one at least ten times as great made by sellers of patent medicines among whites. It was accumulated in fifteen years, and its possessor knew how to live and entertain richly. Negroes have been slow to show the full benefits of white civilization by blossoming forth as oil kings, movie magnates, and magnificent stock exchange gamblers. Mrs. Walker demonstrated that they may rise to the most distinctive heights of American achievement. Men who would do nothing but sneer at what Coleridge-Taylor composed. Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote, or Booker T. Washington built will be all respect when the Negroes have their full quota of millionaires." WOULD BAR COLORED WOMEN FROM POLLS BUT ADMIT OTHERS COLUMBIA, S. C., June 10.—W. P. Pollock, of Chéraw, formerly United States Senator, in a commencement address at one of the colleges here discussed a way to provide suffrage for the white women of the state, but eliminate the Colored women. He would base registration on legitimacy of birth, extending back three generations. His proposed amendment would read: "No person shall be eligible to vote in this state, unless such person shall present a registration certificate to the managers of the election; and no registration certificate shall be issued to any person, unless such person shall present sufficient evidence to the registration officials that such person is not an illegitimate to the third generation." CHICAGO, Ill.—"The Housing Situation and the Colored People of Chicago," is the name of a new booklet prepared by Charles S. Duke, A. B. C. E., of the city hall bridge division City Hall Square building, Chicago. The booklet has "suggested remedies and brief references to housing projects generally. It is a very timely treatise of a very acute subject, and the newspapers and public organizations generally, have been praising Mr. Duke for the unusual contribution to this critical economic field. TOKIO, June 10. — Failure of the Japanese delegates to secure the introduction of an "equality of races" clause in the league of nations covenant caused deep disappointment throughout the Japanese nation and has led to a serious self-examination on the part of the Japanese people. The disappointment was all the more bitter because at first a dispatch came from Paris announcing the adoption of the racial clause. Japanese who frankly discussed the problem said they could not understand on what standards Japan was judged to be a first class power. If it were merely because Japan was strong in a naval and military sense, this was not flattering to the Japanese amour-prope, who would much rather have it based on standards of civilization, capacity and culture. Yet small countries like Holland and Belgium, they said, are placed on a footing equal with the United States, France and England. "We are keenly disappointed," wrote the editor of one paper. "It is as if we had tumbled from a very high precipice. We must look into our hearts, examine ourselves rigidly and see why we are not permitted to join the other nations of the world on a footing of real equality." The Osaka Mainichi said: "The adoption of the American amendment for the Monroe doctrine and the failure of the racial amendment affords a most glaring contrast as between a great success for the United States and a great failure for Japan." The Tokio Asahi says, "Part of the blame should be placed at the door of European and American statesmen, whose political conscience has been so besotted that they do not understand or respect the principle of justice and humanity except when it is politically used to their advantages" Government Built City Exclusively For Colored People PORTSMOUTH, Va., June 10.—A model town constructed by the government exclusively for Negroes was formally opened with ceremonies at Truxtun, Va., as the new town is known, took its place on the map as a suburb of this city. Built primarily for war purposes to house employees at the great Hampton Roads naval base, the 224 buildings in the little town will not be sold immediately by the government, but will be rented at from $16 to $19 monthly. The town is one of the twenty-four housing projects the United States Housing Corporation is rapidly completing throughout the country for the government. All these projects represent a returnable value of $25,000,000 and consist of a total of 6,000 houses and sixty-four apartments, which by the end of June will be returning $2,500,000 a year in rentals to the government. Final disposition of the property rests with Congress. (By Associated Negro Press) RICHMOND, Va., June 10.—Our architects have prepared the designs and will build an arch for the Negro soldiers at Second and Leigh streets. The plans have been presented to chairman Hirschberg of the arch committee, and he has commended them and congratulated the people on their enterprise and spirit. Work is to commence at once and it will be completed in a short time. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 10.—The people of our Race here celebrated the formal opening of Lincoln park, a place of amusement, with all the up-to-date trappings of a modern Coney Island. Besides, there is much of beauty in the way of formal arrangement of shrubs, trees and the things that appeal to the eye. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year hoenix CAPITALISTS WILL BUILD A MILLION DOLLAR PLANT HERE A transaction was consummated last week in Phoenix which means a new pay roll for this city and the installation of another first class manufacturing institution. The new company which was organized is the McCall Cotton and Oil company which purchased a 10-acre tract in the manufacturing district in the southwestern portion of the city. The authorized capital of the new company is $1,000,000 of which $200,000 has been paid in. The officers are B. B. McCall, president, who already is known for his successful operation of a number of cotton gins in the valley during the past year and has had years of experience in the cotton gining industry in the Sea Island district. S. H. Mitchell is vice president and Frank Burrige is treasurer. The directors are General Moses H. Sherman of Los Angeles; Harry L. Chandler of the Los Angeles Times, Sam H. Mitchell of this city and Mr. McCall. Start Work at Once The McCall Cotton and Oil company will at once install a thoroughly modern 12-stand English gin of the most approved type for handling long staple cotton, with 40-inch rollers. This plant will have a capacity of 24 bales per day. Adjoining the gin the company also will erect a seed house of large capacity and also a cotton seed oil mill of the most approved design. This mill will, when completed, be the only mill of its kind in the United States. It will be motor driven throughout, will have automatic cookers and will use a type of process which has been in most successful use abroad for several years past. The process to be used in the production of cotton seed cake will be what is known as the hot process, and the mill will have a capacity of 50 tons of seed per day. Model of Its Type Plans are being prepared by an eminent Chicago engineer and it is the intention of the company to make this entire plant of the McCall Cotton and Oil company a model of its type. The cotton seed house will have a capacity of 3,000 tons, and in addition, there will be installed a fire proof seed cotton house. The entire plant will be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system so as to give the maximum of fire protection. The work on construction of this new big plant will commence as soon as the siding from the Southern Pacific railroad is completed. B. B. McCall in speaking of this matter said that the ginning plant would be ready for the coming cotton crop and that no effort will be spared to have the entire plant ready for operation early in the fall. ANOTHER SOLUTION OF THE RACE PROBLEM (By Associated Negro Press) KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 10.—Bishop Thomas F. Gaylor, of the Episcopal church suggested his solution of the "Race Problem" and this week the Southern Sociological Congress advanced the same idea. Bishop Gaylor declared at that time that the solution was in the moral and religious education of the whole people. RICHMOND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AIDING ITS COLORED RESIDENTS (By Associated Negro Press) RICHMOND, Va., June 10.-Action to make Jackson ward more attractive and pleasant for its residents and thereby prevent many from moving to other cities, when they prefer Richmond except for its present housing conditions, have been taken by the Chamber of Commerce. The decision was reached by the advisory council, and definite plans are under way to carry out the intentions of the council. Hundreds of additional houses will be provided. The Chamber of Commerce regards it of utmost importance to do all in its power to provide for the contentment of the Colored group.

Many of our race leaders have not they do, there can be but little programs the deed; and it is equally true that ES THE MAN. We call for men. Good and true. Each of us should strive to do something worth while; something that will make our lives count. We should not value life merely as a means of securing comfort, but should value it as a field of action. The well constituted man cares as much for the doing of things as he does for the results. Looking back over the pages of history, we find that the stories which have most moved men's hearts were stories of action and deeds of daring. The lives we value most are those which are marked by the habit of unselfish action. Doing makes the deed; unselfish doing makes the man. This is the point we desire to make clear—that it is not so much what we do that makes our lives count, as the manner in which it is done. Selfish deeds make a man smaller, while unselfish deeds make him larger. And too, unselfish doing does something more than make a man himself great. It helps others to be like him. Where the leader is tainted with selfishness the followers will be selfish too. Where the leader works for other men, each of those other men, according to the measure of his power, will be stimulated to go outside of himself and work for a common cause. There is a great demand for unselfish leaders. Men and women who will work for the elevation of the cause they represent and not for self only. Every great leader counts his cause for everything and himself for nothing. Many of our race leaders have not realized this fact, and until they do, there can be but little progress. It is true that doing makes the deed; and it is equally true that UNSELFISH DOING MAKES THE MAN. We call for men. God give us men who are good and true.

Somewhere in the heart of every man is the desire to be INDEPENDENT. Independence is the measure of one's standing in the community. The first step along the road to independence is to own one's home. The man who owns his own home is the respected, the trusted man in every community. One of the largest employers of labor in the country ordered a canvass of his factories to determine what percentage of his employees owned their own homes. At the same time he urged all employees in the establishment to become home owners or home buyers. Sound logic prompted this action. The responsible man is the valuable employee. The HOME OWNER has a deeper sense of civic pride. He is established; he is responsible; he is interested in every thing that tends toward the peace and security and upbuilding of the community. The example set by one manufacturer will be followed by others. It will daily become more requisite to a man's securing responsible employment that he owns his own home. There is little excuse for a man not owning his own home. The great Liberty loans have instilled into the American people lessons of thrift that will endure through the coming days of peace. Every man can and should own his own home. There is no appeal from the man who seeks a position that is treated so lightly, by private and public employer alike, as the appeal which comes from the man who has everything to gain and nothing to lose. The INDEPENDENT MAN always owners his own home—build yours NOW.—Ex. A GREAT SURPRISE be many wonders connected with the war prominently than the discovery of late young Colored men.

As was to be expected from the past record of the race, our young men went into the army with a dash and courage that astonished the most experienced veterans, but we confess that we were not prepared to see them show such adaptability for other war work calling for executive ability as well as power to comprehend big tasks. Not only have our young men shown themselves efficient and competent as Y. M. C. A. workers, but they have been very potent factors in maintaining the morale of the soldiers waiting in camp and have brought about such a spirit of co-operation between the civilians and soldiers that the communities where camps have been located, have been actually blessed by the young life and activities under the guidance of young men employed as secretaries and workers among our boys.—Ex.

C., June 7.-At the regular meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, was selected secretary-treasurer of the University. The new official enters actively upon his duties July 1st. During the period of the war Dr. Scott has been serving most capably as special assistant to the secretary of war, advising in matters affecting colored troops and civilians, and accomplished much good in adjusting the manifold problems growing out of the relations of the colored people to the war department and the activities designed to aid the nation to win the great conflict for liberty and democracy. Through his tactful handling of countless delicate problems and the many satisfactory results achieved, he has won the confidence and esteem of the 12,000 Colored American he was chosen to represent. The selection of Dr. Scott now as the executive officer of Howard University is regarded as a most fortunate one in all respects, and is viewed with great enthusiasm by the friends of the school, white as well as colored. It is felt that the acquisition of Dr. Scott as a member of the staff of the leading institution of the land for the higher and professional training of the Negro brings to its support a new and powerful influence for advancement along both educational and material lines. For nearly twenty years Dr. Scott has been the administrative force at Tuskegee Institute, and up to the time of the death of its illustrious founder he was Dr. Booker T. Washington's right-hand man and confidential assistant. The ripe experience and broad acquaintanceship that was gained by Dr. Scott by reason of his long connection with Tuskegee Institute—international in its scope—will stand him in good stead in looking after the heavy responsibilities that will be entrusted to his keeping at this important center of civilization where real leaders of the race are to be developed. His new post is deemed a merited promotion, as it affords him a longer field for usefulness to the whole people, and he has been the recipient since Tuesday of many messages of congratulation and good will from representative white and colored friends all over the country. Dr. Scott's resignation as special assistant to the secretary of war, effective June 30th, has been announced. Jack Johnson Now Operates Real Estate Business in Mexico (Special to The Tribune) (By Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, June 10.—Jack Johnson, the former heavyweight champion of the world, has gone into the real estate business and now is engaged in interesting colored people in the United States in buying property and settling in Mexico. In his circular to the colored people of the United States he says: "You, who are lynched, tortured, mobbed, persecuted and discriminated against in the boasted land of liberty, the United States, own a home in Mexico. Here one man is as good as another, and it is not your nationality that counts, but simply you. "Rich, fertile land only a few mites from Mexico City, the capital of the Republic, is now on sale for $5 an arce and up. The soil is very productive and capable of raising four crops a year. The climate is the best in the world, neither too warm nor too cold. Beautiful scenery enchants the lover of nature. "Best of all, there is no race prejudice in Mexico, and severe punishment is meted out to those who discriminate against a man because of his color or race." (By Associated Negro Press) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 10. — Building of the Protestant Episcopal Divinity School, on Woodland avenue, occupying the entire block between Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets, recently purchased by the Mercy hospital and School for Nurses, have been dedicated here. The speakers were Judge John M. Patterson, Judge Isaac Johnson, and several others. This is the largest hospital in the United States owned and controlled solely by Negroes. COLORED MAN WITH SHOTGUN CAUSED WILD EXCITEMENT (Special to The Tribune) WARRENTON, Ga., June 10. — Becoming tired of the indignities and insults that have constantly been heaped upon him, Benny Richards, a prosperous farmer of this section, has caused consternation among the members of a mob that was pursuing him. Robert Gunn, a white farmer, was passing Richards' home and interfered with him who at that time was having some trouble with his wife. Richards' only reply to the insulting remarks was five shots in quick succession, which proved incentive enough for Gunn to make his machine hit on all six cylinders to escape injury. Gunn quickly spread the news and a mob quickly formed. Richards was located in a swamp, just about dark, but certainly not to the advantage of the pursuers. City Clerk Williford got a glimpse of Richards and immediately afterwards received a load of shot in his right thigh, fired at close range. The wound is a painful one. A little later the sheriff was brought into town with a load of shot fired full into his face from the colored man's shotgun. It is feared that his injury may prove serious. Later in the evening the Baker boys were shot in the arm by the colored man in the swamp, where he had been surrounded. Very little hope of ever capturing Richards is entertained, as long as he has his gun. His exact location could not be determined, so not one member of the mob would volunteer to go into the swamp. Oil was poured around the place and set on fire in hopes of running him out. REFORM MOVEMENT AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE OF TENNESSEE (By Associated Negro Press) LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn., June 11. —The ministers of this community held a meeting recently to prepare a program for bettering the conditions of our people here. O. J. Summerhill, who was in military service during the war, recently returned from Atlanta, where a general program was mapped out. Of the effort, J. C. Carter states; "We must try to lift our people out of notorious dives, take them off the streets and the alleys after night, put them upon higher planes, so they may reform their lives and and make better men and women." Novel Method of Recognition Adopted By Topeka School (By Associated Negro Press) TOPEKA, Kan., June 11.—A rather novel method of recognition has been adopted by the Industrial Institute here, in deciding to award "certificates of merit" to Colored men of the state who are making marked success of their work in life. The certificates this year were given at the commencement exercises. Those receiving same are: W. W. Buckner, Topeka, for work in the mechanical arts; John W. Rogers, Ottawa, and H. W. Bell, Oskaloosa, both unusually successful farmers. Roscoe Simmons On Speaking Tour Throughout The U. S. CHICAGO, June 10.—Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons was in the city this week, in the midst of a speaking tour that is taking him to every section of the United States, where he is speaking in behalf of Race justice and opportunity to thousands of people of both races. In Cleveland, Youngstown, Springfield and other points in Ohio, people were turned away by hundreds, being unable to gain entrance to the auditoriums where he spoke. It was learned, through Col. Simmons, that within a short time, the most elaborate monthly magazine ever produced by the Race will make its initial appearance with Chicago as its main office, and Col. Simmons as its chief editor and sponsor. In points of typographical beauty, illustrations and contributions, it promises to be amazingly distinctive. The Wages of Sin With the announcement of the Peace terms dictated to Germany, begins the close of one of the most tragic chapters in the history of nations. Germany is completely humiliated. For generations to come her people must stagger and groan under the burdens of taxation and must give up forever the hope of dominating by force the peoples of the earth. She is being paid with interest a thousand times compounded the wages of sin. For almost a century she has fed all of her finer sensibilities and emotions to the war gods, has spread her propaganda to the utmost parts of the earth, has fashioned and moulded her people into a mighty fighting machine only to find in the end that nothing can turn aside God's eternal purposes, and to learn with bitter tears that only righteousness exalts a nation and perpetuates its government among the sons of men. Like other wicked nations that have been swept away as the dust of the desert, she deluded herself with the assumption that laws governing other peoples in their dealings with their fellows did not apply to her. Inflated by her own inordinate conceit, the German government through her leaders, proclaimed herself the chosen people of God. And so firmly was this notion imbedded in the very foundations of the government that the very children assumed an attitude of contempt for all the other members of the family of nations. Her soldiers rode rough-shod over the innocent, firm in the conviction that they were the "scourge of God," and one of her leaders delighted to liken the prowess of the kaiser to the repreductions of the heartless Atilla of old. Such was the madness of this great government. To attain what she believed to be her destiny, she established great universities, cultivated in her children love of music, taught her statesmen the art of the finest diplomacy, patronized men of letters, produced the mighty Bismarck, frightened and flattered weaker governments, entered into secret treaties with larger nations for the purpose alone, finally, of proclaiming boldly to the world that treaties were mere "scraps of paper." And now behold her! Her glory has departed! Her mighty men have fallen, and she has become a by-word and a hissing wherever civilized sheech is uttered. Will not the other nations of the world draw a lesson from the fate of Germany? Will England depart from her assumed superiority and recognize all of her possessions as the habitations of the children of one great Father? Will these United States of America take the stand once and forever that character and not color shall be the measure of a man? We hope so. We believe so. Time alone will tell. But our prayer is, that to teach these fundamental lessons to all the governments of the world, it will not be necessary to witness again the horror of bloody conflicts when millions of Rachels will be heard to weep in Rama because their sons were and are not—Ex. COLORED AND WHITE SAILORS CLASH IN NEW ENGLAND (By Associated Negro Press) NEW LONDON, Conn., June 10. — Clashes between Colored and white sailors here, which have been going on for several days, have reached their climax in a street battle. Before the rioters could be separated, a detachment of United States marines had to be called out. For some time Negro seamen have been protesting that white sailors have been attacking them. Following a clash, two white blue jackets were arrested. Their comrades demanded that they be turned loose, and when the police refused, sought vengeance. They raided the Hotel Bristol, Colored, threw a large number of the patrons in the street, and beat them severely. Reinforcements arrived for both factions and a fierce battle developed on Bank street. All the town's police and firemen were unable to stop the riot, and the marines were appealed to. These, by free use of rifle butts, produced temporary peace. NEVER WITNESSED SUCH An "old timer" in Washington, who has witnessed many congresses states this is the first time he ever saw this state of affairs: President of United States in Europe. The president's "Kitchen Cabinet" in Europe. The president's wife in Europe. He fears we are getting mighty near "foreign entanglements." He says this must be the age of "precedents" but wonders if the thinking Americans are keeping up with the procession. Saturday June 14, 1919 THE FARM C. W.

They came for the benefit of Mr. Warren's health and are staying at 15 East McKinley street They arrived in Phoenix Saturday evening, June 1st, after a very hard trip which took them through St. Louis, Mo., and lasted five days. Their family physician accompanied them and administered such treatment as was necessary to enable Mr. Warren to make the trip safely. Mr. Warren is the leading colored citizen of Hot Springs, Ark., and is a native son. He is Grand Worthy Counsellor for the Knights and Daughters of Tabor in the state of Arkansas. He also is a 33rd degree Mason and a member of every secret organization to which a colored man can belong.

Children's Day Observed— Appropriate exercises were held at all the churches last Sunday evening in honor of Children's day. Splendid programs had been prepared and were well rendered to large and appreciative audiences. The boys and girls who took part in these exercises deserve much praise and we are pleased to speak a few words complimentary to them.

Lucas, 609 South 9th avenue. **Crump Girls Graduated—** The many friends of the Misses Em ily and Elizabeth, the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. William P. Crump, will be glad to know that when they graduated last week from Storer College, Harper's Ferry, West Va., that one of them was second in the class, and so was Salutatorian, and the other was third, and so was class orator. Besides carrying two extra major studies this year they also took a prominent part in the various contests in the school. Having been awarded several prizes for their work in this sphere of school activity, they finished by bringing home to Arizona the three most important annual prizes given by the college. One of the girls won the historic Anthony prize that for more than fifty years has been awarded for the best general scholarship. The other not only won the prize for all seniors, but also a scholarship donated annually by Howard University of Washington. Their parents naturally regretted their inability to be there to see them do honor to themselves and their native state. But they were happy to learn that two of their aunts and one of their uncles were there. The young ladies are now with their Uncle, Thomas A. Crump of Boston, who has taken them to New York and may take them on to Boston. They probably will spend some time with their grandfather in Wilkes Barre, Pa., and with their Uncle Bob and his family in Chicago before returning home. Allied Countries Visited— The trip around the world party last Monday night was in charge of A. M. Carter, who managed the motor trucks. They visited all of the allied countries, stopping first at the residence of Mrs. P. F. McCutcheon. Next they visited Mexico, where Senoras W. H. King, Roy Lucas and A. Taylor had prepared a dainty dish of hot to-males. Then they visited Japan and were inducted into a beautiful tea garden in the city of Tokio, where Kasuki Howard, Mussui Carter Yunnusi Rosser and Omar Scott served the party with the choicest blends of the Oriental beverage. The party then returned to America where all indulged in the national dish—ice cream. This outing was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season and the members of the Goldinol club desire to thank all who participated and helped to make it the jolly, successful affair that it was. Mr. Roy Lucas, the popular manager of Irvine park is doing everything in his power to make this amusement resort the Mecca for outing parties. He has provided ample facilities to care for the most brilliant function imaginable and is ready and willing at all times to grant the privilege for the use of his park for your picnics, lawn fetes, outings, etc. Plenty of good "Donofrio ice cream" and other summer refreshments are always on hand and a polite clerk ready to serve you. Whenever you think of a picnic or other out-door entertainment, think of Irvine park and go there the next time. You are assured of excellent service and courteous treatment. 943 West Grant street is the place. Irvine park is the name. Write it down. Mrs. J. W. King Convalescing— Mrs. J. W. King, 711 West Sherman street, who has been quite ill the past few weeks is reported much improved and well on the road to recovery. Tempe Visitor Mrs. J. A. Johnson of Tempe was a business visitor in the city last week. She stated that the colored people of Tempe are progressive and enterprising. They are buying homes, improving their property and making themselves a valuable asset to the community. Mrs. Gardiner Goes East— Mrs. Phoebe Gardiner, teacher of the Douglas school kindergarten in this city, left Monday for Evanston, Ill., to visit her mother and other relatives. She will attend the National Educational Association which meets this year in Chicago and will also take a summer course at the Chicago Kindergarten Institute, said institute being connected with the University of Chicago. Mrs. Gardiner will return to Phoenix early in September and resume her position as teacher of the Douglas school kindergarten. Regular Services at Churches Sunday, June 15th, there will be regular services at all the churches and you are invited to attend the church of your choice. Rev. C. A.

GERMANY MAKING A HARD TO SAVE HER FINANCIAL By T. A. McNeal As I write this review, aside from the natural worldwide anxiety concerning the outcome of the Versailles ne- One-Quarter of And it may be fore did the Unit A representative body of colored citizens met last Sunday afternoon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. P. F. McCutcheon, 1215 East Jefferson st. and organized what is known as The Unique Club. The following were elected officers of the club: Mr. Bert Trice, president, Miss Cora Wheeler, secretary and Mrs. J. F. Hudspeth, treasurer, Mr. T. T. Turner, chaplain. This is the outcome of the meeting that was held a few Sundays ago at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Hudspeth and the object and aim of the organization will be the same as those outlined in last week's issue of the Tribune. The club will meet Sunday afternoons at East Lake park during the summer months and at the residences of the members in winter. There will be no meeting next Sunday as the members desire to attend the annual sermon of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, which will be held at the A. M. E. church at 3 P. M. Progressive Art Club Ladies of the Progressive Art Club met with Mrs. Lillie Wiggins, 1038 East Moreland and plans were completed for sending a delegate to the convention at Grand Forks. Next meeting will be with the club's mascot, little Miss Ruth Roberts, 1334 East Jefferson street. Gets Off with Flying Start— George C. Fleming, noted turfman and al laround popular individual, got off with a flying start last Friday and won the most successful race known to mankind when he led Mrs. Lillian Wilson to hymen's altar and the clergyman read the ceremony that made them man and wife. The marriage took place at the residence of Mrs. B. Smith, 201 East Van Buren street in the presence of a number of invited guests. Mr. Lewis Brady, an old friend of the groom's, saw to it that his chum was given a square deal and an equal opportunity to win this perilous race—and we won with hands down. Mr. Fleming is from Seguin, Texas, and his bride from Butte, Mont. They left Saturday morning on their honeymoon and will visit the groom's relatives in Texas, finally locating in San Antonio, Tex. Yes. Indeed We Will— If your Tribune does not arrive on time, KICK and we will send you one by special messenger. Phone 1250 and tell us your troubles. We'll be there in a flash. Indeed we will. Off to Prescott— Mrs. Carrie Richardson left this week for Prescott to spend the summer. Back to Chicago Mrs. Stoddard and daughter, who have been staying at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Childress the past two weeks, left for their home in Chicago. They came for the benefit of the daughter's health, and as she didn't seem to improve, they returned home. Off on Vacation— Mrs. Annie Marooney, teacher in the Douglas Grammar school, left on Thursday for her home in Emporia, Kansas, where she will enjoy a well-earned rest. She will attend the summer Normal in that city and return to Phoenix in September to resume her duties with the Douglas school. Tucson Visitor— Rev. S. E. Newell, representative for the Phoenix Tribune in Tucson, Ariz., was a business visitor in Phoenix a few days this week. Comfortably Settled in Phoenix— Mrs. M. Butler a recent arrival from Wichita, Kan., has rented the home of Mrs. Annie Marooney at 1129 East Taylor street for the summer. She is favorably impressed with the city and may decide to make this her home. Brilliant Birthday Party— Last Tuesday evening a delightful birthday party was given at the residence of Mrs. Oralee Mims, 1333 East Madison street in honor of little Miss Annie B. Mim's fifth anniversary. The place was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the color scheme being pink and white. Dainty refreshments were served by Mesdames Flewellen, Hamilton, Garret, Lee and Mims, who acted as hostesses for the children. Each guest was presented with a pretty souvenir and Miss Mims was the recipient of many beautiful and useful presents. Among them was a solid gold ring presented by Mr. Ed Lockett. After enjoying the dainty refreshments and indulging in many youthful plays, the children departed all declaring this the most enjoyable party they had ever attended and wishing Miss Mims many happy birthdays. Among those present were—Steve Burton, Odessa Nelson Garret, Eleanor and Rachel Smith, Hamilton, Thomas Trice, Raymond Bell, Sarah Flewellen, Helen Floyd, Paul and Harry Green, Vivian Hamil- GERMANY MAKING A HARD FIGHT TO SAVE HER FINANCIAL INTEGRITY By T. A. McNeal As I write this review, aside from the natural worldwide anxiety concerning the outcome of the Versailles negotiations, perhaps the greatest interest is centered in the prospective harvest in the United States. Never before has the world depended so largely on the United States for food as now. In every European country there is a shortage, but with an almost childlike faith the people of these stricken lands look to the United States as a country of illimitable wealth and unbounded plenty. And just at present this faith would seem to be almost justified. Never has there been such a prospect for a harvest, and teeming abundance apparently almost assured. I have lived in Kansas 40 years. In that time I have seen the state steeped in the gloom of crop failures, and dressed in the glorious garments of green and gold that some with reasonable rains and the absence of destructive floods, but never has there been such a prospect for a profitable harvest as at the beginning of this delightful June. It is true there are still possibilities of disaster, but the chances for an abundant harvest largely predominates over the chances for general disaster. Great Country and Great People In a way, the world-tragedy has inured to the benefit of the United States. It has demonstrated to the world, and to the people of the United States themselves, possibilities and potentialities which even we, who are accused and, perhaps justly, of being a boastful nation, did not suspect. The most peaceful and unwarlike nation in the world, considering our size, we astounded every other nation with the rapidity and effectiveness of our military prowess. It was accomplished, it is true, with perhaps unparalleled extravagance of expenditure, but that the people of this country could, with such apparent ease, raise the funds necessary to pay the war expenses, was the most astounding development of the war, next to the rapidity with which we transported an army of more than 2 million men to France. The United States has within the short space of less than five years, become not only the granary but the banker for the world. Economically, We Dominate All. Economically, We Dominate All. It can be said truly that the United States now occupies a unique position among the nations of the world. It is the greatest in influence, and should guide the world's policies. Speaking collectively, it has shown a courage and unselfishness which should earn for it the good will of other nations. It is the greatest in wealth—we have become the world's bankers. It is the greatest in production—we must furnish food, clothing and machinery, manufactured articles, and even ideas, to a greater part of the universe. In the history of the world no nation has been so rich, powerful or so well-equipped. The year 1914 saw us a debtor nation, owing more than 5 billion dollars to the money lenders of other nations—the year 1919 finds the world owing us more than 15 billion dollars, and our banks piling up cash in untold quantity. If the coming harvest fulfills the present promise, our domination of the world in an economic way will be more pronounced than ever before. ton, Dorothy Jones, Charlie, Robert and Willie Arnold, Mildred Jones, Corinne McCutcheon, Elnore Jones, Mesdames W. J. Jones, A. R. Smith, J. L. Floyd, S. Burton, E. Lee Flewellen, Hamilton, Garret and Lee. Back to The Coast— Mrs. P. A. Lee and little daughter who have been spending the winter in Phoenix as guests of Mrs. Oralee Mims, left Wednesday for their home in Los Angeles, Cal. Graduates Banqueted by Elite of Phoenix Tuesday evening, June 10th, the colored graduates of the Phoenix Union High School were given a swell banquet at the A. M. E. church. Many were present and all report it a delightful affair. Chas. Carter Seriously III— As we go to press, the report comes to us that Mr. Chas. F. Carter is seriously ill at his home, 715 West Grant street. His physician has ordered him removed to a different city with the hope of gaining relief in a cool climate. Mr. Carter was employed at the Boston Store and is an old resident of Phoenix. His many friends regret to learn of his illness and we trust he will recover. Mr. W. B. Hudspeth of this city has ordered the Tribune sent to his brother, T. F. Hudspeth at Houston, Tex. We know he will like it for it's full of "pep." Chas. Carter Seriously III— One-Quarter of World's Shipping And it may be said that never before did the United States make such prodigious preparation for foreign trade as within the last two years. Half a century ago the ocean trade of the young republic had reached a commanding position, as compared with other nations of that day—nearly half the then existing tonnage flew the Stars and Stripes. Then came the era of internal development, and the world trade was neglected. In fifty years the world tonnage had increased 400 per cent, but American tonnage had declined 50,000 tons, and less than one-tenth of our exports were carried in American bottoms. This was the condition only five short years ago. We now have one-quarter of all the shipping of the world, and at the present rate of increase in shipbuilding, half a dozen years from now may see more than half of the merchant ships which plow the sea flying at their mastheads the flag of this republic. Wealth Shows Nation's Stride In 1910 our estimated national wealth was 222 billion dollars. In 1918 it was 300 billion dollars. And when the books are balanced at the end of this year the figures will probably total 320 billion dollars. In 1913 our bank clearings amounted to $168,694,527,361. In 1918 the grand total was $328,744,882,258, an increase of nearly 100 per cent in 5 years. In 1918 the value of our crops aggregated 11 billion dollars. If the present harvest does not prove a disappointment that figure will be exceeded by more than a billion dollars. In 1911 our exports were valued at $1,867,619,610—in 1918, $5,584,878,538—an increase in value of more than 50 per cent. Great in Mercy and Charity, Also Aparently, no financial burden is too great for the people of the United States to assume, and no task too prodigious to be undertaken. And our charities have been as great in proportion as our undertakings in business or war. Never has there been such marvelous organization for the relief of distress everywhere. It can truly be said that the people of the United States have undertaken the task of the healing of the nations. Before the year is ended the Red Cross will ask the people of the United States for a donation reaching into the hundred of millions in all probability—and will get the money. At the same time the Protestant churches of this country are engaged in a campaign to raise $1/2 billion dollars for the spread of their religion in a practical way throughout the world. It is not supposed that this vast sum will be expended in the old style of missions, but in the practical uplift of people sunk in the depths of poverty, ignorance, superstition and filth. It will be a practical, religion of better food, better housing, better sanitation and general enlightenment. Our Future Tied With Europe's Our Future Tied With Europe's There is a strong temptation to dwell on the happy conditions which prevail in this country and ignore world conditions outside of our boundaries. Unfortunately, if we speak from a selfish viewpoint, we cannot ignore world conditions. Whether we like it or not, the future of the United States is tied up with the fate of civilization in general. We cannot, if we would, withdraw from Europe and say that we will have no further part in the settlement of the problems which immediately concern the unhappy, war-worn people of that continent. The conclusion of peace does, therefore, most deeply concern us, for if the world is to continue to be convulsed by destructive wars we must inevitably become more or less involved German Reply Able Document German Reply Able Document The representatives of Germany have presented their protest and counter propositions to the Allied Peace Conference at Versailles. It must be conceded in fairness that it is an able document, and is clothed in dignified language. If we'd did not know the utter disregard of human rights shown by Germany at the time when victory seemed certain to the kaiser and his military advisers, we could not help being impressed by the appeal made by the present representative of Germany. If we did not know that it was the settled purpose of the German government when war was determined upon, to despoil both Belgium and France to such an extent that France, especially, would never again be able to resist any demand made upon her by her conqueror; if we did not know that the German people were promised that the spoils of war would more than compensate for any cost to Germany; if we did not know that the German emperor himself proclaimed the doctrine of destruction to the uttermost as the only one to be puffed by his armies, we could not at the present time help feeling sym- 1. Germany offers to proceed with such investigation will be begun at her own disarmament in advance of once, and that it will be thorough and all other peoples, in order to show (as impartial. People of the United States the proposal says) that she will help are greatly interested in the new reusher in the new era of the peace of republic of Poland. We want to see it justice. She offers to give up unil succeeded. pathy for Germany in her humiliation For Ally Terms Are Hard It must be said that the terms proposed by the Allies are hard terms, and if carried out to the letter mean the permanent relegation of Germany to a position as an inferior power. They mean more than that if carried out to the letter, for under these proposed terms, the restoration of German foreign commerce would seem to be an impossibility and the burdens laid upon German industry greater than any people could be expected to bear. Not only must Germany give up her merchant fleet, but she must continue to build vessels for many years to come to supply her rivals in trade. Not only must she give up the greatest sources from which she has heretofore drawn her supplies of iron ore, but a large share of her coal supply as well must be handed over to her enemies. But Germany Deserves It That Germany deserves her hard fate can hardly be denied by anyone who has studied the history learing up to the war and kept informed concerning the conduct of Germany while the war lasted. However, the question of greatest concern to the world is after all, not what punishment Germany deserves, but what course is most likely to preserve the future peace of the world. The crimes that have been committed can not be undone. The lives that have been wantonly destroyed cannot be restored. Much as we may feel that the authors of this horrible calamity deserve the most severe punishment that can be devised, the future peace of the world is of vastly greater concern than the avenging of wrongs committed. I have still a feeling that mercy is a stronger force than vengeance, and that a better civilization cannot be built on a foundation of hate and military force. U. S. Not a Vindictive Nation It has always been the policy of the United States to forget and forgive. Always victorious in wars, we have never pursued a policy of vindictiveness in time of triumph. At the close of the Spanish-American war, decadent Spain was helpless. We might have demanded anything in the way of reparation that it was within the power of Spain to give, but instead of demanding that she pay the cost of the war, we provided, without cost to her, the ships to transport her soldiers home from Cuba. The Philippines were forever lost to Spain when that short war ended and, according to all precedent, we were under no obligation either to protect Spanish interests in the islands or to pay Spain anything for the surrender of her sovereignty. We did, however, protest Spanish interests and paid to the impoverished government at Madrid 20 million dollars for islands we did not need and which have since been to us a liability and not an asset. We might easily have subdued Mexico and taken possession of all its territory, and there could have easily been found justification for our action, but, it was not according to our policy to force our government upon an unwilling people, or to crush by military power a weaker nation. That policy has not only won for the United States the respect and confidence of weak peopies everywhere, but commercially it has paid. Can't Control Germany Permanently It does not seem to me that this policy dominates in the conclusions of the Peace Conference. I believe that a better way would have been to have demanded that the men in Germany who were directly responsible for this bringing on of the war should be given up and appropriately punished. I would not have executed them, but I would have selected some safe place of banishment and have sent there the kaiser and his sons, the military leaders, a few hundred of them; the civil leaders who were, in part, responsible for the policy that prevailed in Germany; also, the leading educators in the universities and other schools, who fostered the German imperial ideas and policies. I would have seen, too, that the banishment was permanent. I would have restored to France what was taken from her in 1870. I would have compelled Germany to make preparation for injuries done to France and Belgium, but I would not permanently cripple German industry. I would give the German people to understand that it was up to them whether or not they should be restored to world confidence. In short, I do not believe it will be possible to permanently control Germany by force of arms. The people of the United States will not consent to act permanently as indemnity collectors, and France is not able permanently to supply the army necessary to occupy Germany. Germany's Counter Proposilion The counter proposition made by Germany is as follows: 1. Germany offers to proceed with her own disarmament in advance of all other peoples, in order to show (as the proposal says) that she will help usher in the new era of the peace of justice. She offers to give up uni versal service; and reduce her army to $100,000, except as regards temporary measures. She stipulates, however, that she shall be admitted forthwith into the League of Nations, with equal rights with other members of the League. 2. She renounces her sovereign right to Alsace-Lorraine, but wishes for a free plebiscite there. She gives up to Poland the province of Posen, and grants to Poland, under international guarantees, free access to the sea with free ports at Danzig, Königsburg and Memel, by an agreement regulating the navigation of the Vistula by special railroad conventions. Germany agrees to supply coal for the economic needs of France, especially from the Saar region, until such time as the French mines are once more in working order. She agrees to give up the Danish province of Schleswig to Denmark on a plebiscite. She demands that the right of self-determination shall be repeated where the interests of Germans in Austria and Bohemia are concerned. A German Joker as to Colonies Germany offers to subject all her colonies to administration by the community of the League of Nations if she is recognized as its mandatory. (In effect this would be handing the management of these colonies back to Germany, which demand will not be granted). 3. Germany agrees to make payment up to a maximum of 100 billion gold marks (value in our money, nearly 24 billion dollars). 20 billion to be paid May 1, 1926, and the balance in annual payments without interest. For the first 10 years the annual payments shall not exceed 1 billion gold marks a year. Agrees to Restore Wrecked Regions 4. Germany agrees to devote her entire economic strength to the service of reconstruction of the devastated regions of France and Belgium. To make good the loss in production of the destroyed mines in northern France, Germany agrees to deliver 20 million tons of coal per annum for the first 5 years and 8 million tons per annum for the next 5 years. In addition to the coal, she agrees to make considerable deliveries of benzol, coal tar, sulphate of ammonia, dyestuffs and medicines. 5. Germany offers to put her entire merchant tonnage into a pool of the world's shipping, to place at the disposal of her enemies a part of her freight space as part payment of reparation, and to build for them for a series of years in German shipyards an amount of tonnage exceeding their demands. 6. Germany offers river craft from her own resources to replace river boats destroyed in Fance and Belgium. Asks a War Investigation 7. Germany asks for a neutral commission to investigate the responsibility for the war, the commission to be given access to all the archives of the belligerent countries and the right to investigate all persons who took an active part in the war. Except in the matter of the German colonies, it will be seen that Germany is ready to concede rather more than might have been expected. The demand in regard to the colonies will not be granted. Austria Given 15 Days Owing to the vastly greater interest in the peace terms offered to Germany, there has been little interest in what is offered to Austria. Indeed, it is generally understood that Austria, as a separate nation, naturally is extinct. It is to be split up between a number of nations. One has to go back in the files of the newspapers to recall what terms have been offered to the empire of the Hapsburgs which only 4 years ago was counted as one of the first class nations. About all we can recall of the terms is that Austria was only asked to pay about one-twentieth as much in the way of indemnity as Germany; that her army must be reduced to 15,000 men, and that she must give up all of her fleet and yield to Italy in the way of territory whatever Italy may see fit to demand, so long as that demand does not interfere in the opinion of the Peace Conference with the territorial rights of the Jugo-Slavs and the Czecho-Slave. No Massacre, Says Paderewski Reports of persecutions and massacre of Jews in Poland have caused great excitement among the Jews in the United States, and all over our country, Jewish organizations and societies have been holding meetings and passing resolutions demanding that the United States takes a hand in behalf of the persecuted Jews in the new republic. Now the president of Poland, Paderewski, issues an invitation to the United States government to conduct an investigation. He denies the reports of Jewish persecution, and declares that in Poland, Jews are given equal rights and privileges with other peoples. It is to be hoped that PAGE FOUR AJO By Mrs. Gertrude Jones The people of Ajo are sorry to lose the detachment of the 25th infantry which was stationed here.

Newell A large number of colored people in this city have been wonderfully uplifted by the evangelistic meetings at Prince Chapel A. M. E. church, the past four weeks. These meetings were conducted by Mrs. Mary E. Wilson, the noted evangelist. She is indeed a great woman and we believe that she is truly one of God's messengers, for no one can preach as she does except God be with him. She has told us many good things and caused not only sinners to confess, but backsliders to turn from their backsliding and resolve to lead new lives. We say to Mother Wilson, go on to higher heights and deeper depths in God's name, preach His word. By special request, Mrs. Wilson has been asked to repeat her lecture of May 18th, and she has consented. Sunday, June 15th, she will deliver this famous lecture at the A. M. E. church, in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. This day will be known as the Wilson Rally Day. Everybody come. During the revival meetings here the past four weeks, Mrs. Wilson succeeded in bringing 36 members into the churches. Twenty-six to the A. M. E. church, seven to the Baptist church and three to the Church of God. Fourteen of these were converts. The third quarterly Conference will be held June 22nd, at which time the converts will be baptized by the pastor of the A. M. E. church, Rev. D. R. Jones. The total collections during the meeting amounted to $345.27. One hundred twenty-seven dollars was given to Mrs. Wilson for her services. Two of the converts gave her $10. The ladies have promised to bring the donations for Mrs. Wilson up to $150. The District Conference, Sunday School Convention, Woman's Mite Missionary Society and Allen Christian Endeavor League will meet June 24th, at Prince Chapel A. M. E. church. The presiding elder, Rev. J. H. Allen will be in charge. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stearns and a party of friends motored over to Mesa last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Neal Lewis and Mrs. Lockett have moved from Palmer avenue to North Morris street, near Main street. Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Wilson have moved from South McDonald street to Dick Lee's apartments on North Morris street. Mesa was honored last week with the presence of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Hall of Litchfield, Ariz. Mr. Hall conducts a tonsorial parlor at Litchfield. Notable among the social affairs of the past week was the entertainment given by Messrs. Harris and Lewis for the benefit of Mt. Calvary Baptist church. They realized a neat little sum of $20.15, which has been turned over to the church treasurer. Children's day was fittingly observed at the Baptist church last Sunday. A splendid program was rendered by the children and every number on the program was a star attraction. An old fashioned basket dinner was one of the features of the day and the large crowd enjoyed it very much. The program began at 3:30 P. M., with a select reading by Miss Katy Moore. The children recited and sang for the audience in a manner that deserves special mention. The Penny Rally collection was $14.05. Grand total collection, $18.05. Rev. J. M. Robertson, superintendent of the Sunday school and Mrs. Sarah M. Taylor, director of the program, deserve credit for the splendid success of this affair. (By Associated Negro Press) NEW ORLEANS, La., June 10. A call has been issued for a conference to be held at the Irognois club, this city, June 16-17, which is regarded as one of the most significant ever made. The object of the conference is to take drastic and definite action on the political condition of the Negro in America. Such conferences have usually been held in the North, and when held in the South, have beclouded their true purpose. The callers of this conference, however, declare that the problems of injustice are largely political, and that the South is the place where the greatest infractions are made, and that the democratic party is the responsible for most of the trouble. That seems to be plain enough. The conference in its New Orleans session, will issue and address to the country, and will arrange for a nationwide convention to be held either in Indianapolis or St. Louise in August or September. t It is proposed to have a woman's department, something new in the alignment of racial political activities. The committee acting for the national leaders who are interested in seeing the movement a success, are—Walter L. Cohen, New Orleans; Robert R. Church, Memphis, Tenn., and Roscoe Conkling Simmons of Chicago. Among those invited are: Wm. H. Lewis, Boston; James A. Cobb, Judge R. H. Terrell, and Finley Wilson, Washington; Perry W. Howard, L. K. Atwood, Charles Banks, George C. Cranberry, D. W. Sherrod, Mississippi; Louis B. Anderson, Edw. H. Wright, Robert S. Abbott, Chicago; Geo. W. Harris, Chas. W. Anderson, New York; Henry L. Johnson, Benj Davis, Georgia; Dr. J. R. Lavy, S. C.; W. C. Hueston, Dr. J. H. Phillips, C. H. Turpin, Mo.; A. G. Perkins, J. B. Griggsy, C. A. Glimore, C. F. Richardson, Tex; Dr. E. E. Underwood, Wm Warley, Dr. T. T. Wendell, Ky.; C. E. Bush, J. H. McConico, Scipio A. Jones, Ark.; Dr. U. G. Mason, Dr. W. F. Watkins, Ala.; E. F. Tidrington, Ind.; Robt. Barnes, Detroit; T. G. Nutter, W. Va.; A. N. Stevens, Philadelphia, and others. This promises to be the most historical event of the kind in the history of the race, and the dates are looked forward to with niterest thru- out the country. (By Associated Negro Press) MACON, Ga., June 10.—Five of our churches, two schools and a lodge hall were fired at almost the same hour in Putnam county, middle Georgia, with indications pointing to concerted action by a party of white men who have revived what in days following the Civil war was known as the Klu Klux Klan. No clues to the incendiaries have been found by officers who claim to have made a thorough search. A clash between an unknown Negro, and a white merchant at Dennis Station, near Eatonton, is said to have been the origin of the outbreak. The man asked for a bottle of pop as the merchant started to close his store and was refused. He is alleged to have made some remarks concerning at least being courteous on a hot night, and this was resented by the white. Companions of the Colored man took up the quarrel. Before it ended, pistols appeared, and many shots were exchanged, no fatalities resulting. One of the churches destroyed was Ward Chapel, situated in a community where William H. Seward once taught school. The chapel was over one hundred years old. At a mass meeting of white people $1,000 was raised as a reward for running down the individuals who fired the bulldogs. A similar amount has been asked for of Gov. Hugh Dorsey. The whites have also raised several thousand dollars to help rebuild the burned buildings. The destruction of the property was condemned in mass meetings of both races. Sheriff Refuses To Hang Colored Man (Special to the Tribune) LEESVILLE, La., June 10. — The Leesville jail holds a colored man who is sentenced to be hanged in August of this year. Neither the sheriff nor deputy sheriff relish the task the court has set for them. An attempt was made to place the burden on the Shreveport authorities, but they refused on the grounds that the jurisdiction came within the confines of Vernon parish.

Washington, Phoenix, Ariz. WHOLESOME ADVICE TO BUSINESS MEN BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL Federal Official Urges Necessity of Campaign of Advertising to Attract "Advertise your business. I owe all my success to printer's ink." This was the language of P. T. Barrum, and that he was a conspicuous success is generally admitted. Something of the same sort seems to have struck Washington. Roger W. Babson, director of education service, labor department, has issued a statement urging a campaign of advertising, saying in part: "Prosperity ultimately depends upon the consumer. If there is not, a market for goods they will not be produced. Only by advertising can buying power be stimulated, but advertising does stimulate buying power and brings a very direct return to the man who advertises." It is sound advice. It is also timely. Advertising is the chief auxiliary in trade. It is not the road to success, but success itself. Advertising is to the business man what machinery is to the mechanic. How can a man know what you want unless you ask for it, or what you have to sell unless you advertise it? "My advice to the merchant," says Mr. Babson, "is this: For your own interest and for the good of the country, increase the advertising appropriation you have made for this year. If it is $20,000, make it $25,000; make it more if you can." And all must bear in mind that the prosperity of the country means the prosperity of the individual. NEWPORT NEWS Va.—In a masterful address at the Rotary Club, white, here, Bishop Wilibur P. Thirkield, white, of the Methodist Episcopal church said: "There is really no Negro problem; who is really needed is " Negro program. A problem involves fear on part of both the white and Colored race—the one at having to meet it, the other of being it. The Negro, three hundred years in America, has in him all the elements of true Americanism. The Negro needs justice, recognition, understanding, and sympathy." What the Negro wants in this country is what Ireland in a larger sense wants of England. Ireland wants to be free to live as she pleases. The Negro wants the opportunity to live as other Americans live under the laws of the land for which the Negro labored and died. The Irish want a chance to live and to develop; the Negro is asking for the same thing in the last analysis—Pittsburgh Courrier. Saturday June 14, 1919 Los Angeles, Grocery 601 E.

PENSACOLA, Fla. — The Grand Lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, in session here, went on record protesting against the report that the Race in this state is embracing Bolshevism. The report is called "malicious slander." It further states that "the patriotic response of our youth to the call of our country to join the army to make the world safe for democracy and the liberal response of the Colored people of Florida in subscribing over one million dollars to purchase Victory bonds, is a complete refutation of the slanders, and is indisputable evidence of the loyalty of our" people to this great country of which we are justly proud." ALF-INE PRODUCTS MAKE ALF-INE PRODUCTS MAKE HIT AT RIVERSIDE PARK One of the show places at Riverside Park at Phoenix these days is the plant of the Alf-Ine Remedy Company, where those on pleasure bent find the confections and healthful and exhilarating drinks made from alfalfa. They eat Alf-Ine candy; they drink Alf-Ine, a fine soft drink; they chew Alf-Ine candy chew; they take Alf-Ine tablets and they all feel fine. It is true that at first many look upon Alfalfa products of confections, drinks and remedies as somewhat of a joke. But rare indeed is that individual to whom the joke has not turned upon investigation to be a real, present and easily demonstrated thing of very great human use and value. F. W. Bower, president of the company, started this new Arizona industry, by giving an Alfalfa banquet to the Arizona Hay Congress which met in Phoenix this spring. It was one of the most enjoyable affairs ever given in this community. Mr. Bower is the discoverer of many products in the way of foods and medicines made for human consumption from alfalfa. The seven course dinner was served entirely from alfalfa products in a most tasty style and every article on the menu was pronounced by the banquets to be appetizing and wholesome, even to the "Alf-Line chaser," which came as the last course. Plates were set for 300. A stock company was formed with a capitalization of 500,000 shares of par value of $1.00 each. Subscriptions were taken for sufficient amount to install the first factory unit at Riverside Park. Here day and night the public sees how Alfalfa products are made. They try them first from curiosity then because they like them. The Riverside Park factory was intended only as a demonstration unit. In this it has already wonderfully succeeded. But of course it has not the capacity nor the output to meet the needs of a nation wide selling organization which is forecasted by the demonstrated local success. In this issue the company announces the offering of additional capital stock to extend its business. The Company has just purchased a complete candy plant with a daily capacity of 3,000 pounds, including a factory building and a 99-year lease, in the best portion of Los Angeles. It was owned by C. R. Nelson, a well known candy manufacturer of that city. It is planned by the Company to open this factory and commence the manufacture of the four articles there, the same as in the Phoenix factory. This Los Angeles plant was purchased from the owner for 1800 shares of the Company's stock and no cash.

It is doubtful if a more promising business investment was ever presented the investor. The advertising features are so unique and there are so many products all made from Alfaifa, all to bring in a united profit to the one company. A very large dividend should be paid and the returns should come in soon after the production begins. The issue of stock will be very small. There is no promotion stock. Formulae for the following products made from Alfaifa, have been prefected by Mr. Bower, and have been turned over to the Alf-Ine Remedy Co. Eventually they will all be manufactured by the Company: Postum, Four, Crackers, Health Biscuits, Breakfast Food, Table Syrup, Canned Greens, Liquid Extract, Ash Tablets, Kidney Tablets, Laxative Tablets, Digestive Tablets, Nervine Tablets, Tobacco Department Imitation, Smoking Tobacco, Chewing Tobacco— Swallow the Juice.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING Ex-President Taft Says That The White South Is Our Best Friend Typical Arizona ATHENS, Ga. June 10.—In a recent contribution to several newspapers, former President William H. Taft declares that the best friend of the Race is the aristocratic white of the South; that all the trouble comes from the ignorant white. This may be true in a sense, but there is a long way to go in order to get many sections of the South, and its people educated up to the real understanding of American rights. In a lengthy editorial, speaking on the plan of the National Association of Colored People to have an organization with at least 100,000 members by the latter part of June, when their great convention will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, the Athens (Ga.) Banner, a leading daily of this section, declares: "It is, indeed, unfortunate for the Negroes of this nation to suffer from the acts of such lawless leaders, who are not real friends of the Negro, but his most dangerous enemy. Such organizations will work harm to the Colored Race, rather than advance their interest. The representative citizens of the Negro Race, in this section of the nation, will not indorse nor will they join in promoting any such organization which has for its foundation ruin and destruction for the Negro Race. There is a place in this nation for the Negro; he can live happily, and be prosperous, if he so desires; the white man of the South is his best friend. That has been proved whenever he needed friends. No one realizes this more than the Negro. Unscrupulous Negroes and organizations The Banner announces that it is has always "stood for fair treatment of the Negro." That this is true, from its point of view, is not denied, but the above expression demonstrates the very strange point of view of many southerners, and, also, shows how very little such southerners know about what is really going on in America among members of the Race, and how they really feel about it. (By Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga., June 10.—In line of the old theory that "where there is so much smoke there must be some fire", a committee of representative Atlanta Race men called at police headquarters yesterday with reference to reports which have been persistently circulated for the past few weeks to the effect that another "race riot" was threatened. The committee discredited the report and said that they had done everything within their power to put the rumor at rest, but that it had obtained such general circulation that many of the rank and file of the population were restless and apprehensive. The committee was assured that the report was absolutely groundless and was advised to caution the people to pay no further attention to the rumors, and to explain that all law-abiding people in Atlanta are safe. The reports have been widely circulated each Saturday for several weeks, and many inquiries have been made of various newspapers by both races, as to whether there was any truth in the reports. HOUSTON (TEX.) POST SOUNDS IMPORTANT NOTE IN EDITORIAL (By Associated Negro Press) HOUSTON, Tex., June 10. — The Houston (Tex.) Post, one of the strongest white dailies in the South, has sounded a most important note in a recent editorial, in which it was speaking on the fine effect of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries of the Race in overseas work. Among other things it said: "There is no better way to lift the Negro race to a higher plane of economic and moral responsibility than to assist the educated and better type of Negro to serve the mass of his Race. They set an example for the Negroes who have not had advantages, and by clean living and devotion to high ideals, prove a living inspiration to the other members of the Race." This expression is regarded here of great importance for it is believed that there is no one who may consider himself so well off, or so remote from the Race that it is not his duty to help the under folks climb. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Frank A. Byron, who for a number of years has been attached to the Naval Affairs Committee, has been selected as assistant clerg of the important committee, under the new congress.

The address was delivered at the National Conference on Lynching held at New York City on Monday and Tuesday this week, and is reported through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "At this meeting, whose purpose is to secure for the Negro fair play and equal protection of the law, it is my privilege as well as my duty to testify to the high achievement of the Negro in a line of military activity in which he had never before been tried. "The fighting qualities of the Colored soldier are too well known to need comment, but until the German war their service had been in the infantry and cavalry arms and they had never served as artillery either in the American army or in any other army. When I was assigned to the 167th Field Artillery Brigade the artillery authorities of the expeditionary force were frank in saying that they considered the experiment an impossibility and I joined the brigade with a sad heart and a full certainty that the jaws of the trap had at last closed upon me. Even the ever kind French friends shook their heads in doubt. "But after the first day with the brigade my barometer began to go up. The first impression was the marvelous spirit of the men, their neatness of appearance, their military courtesy and their discipline was most striking, and they were so earnest in their desire to learn and excel. "The brigade never failed to do creditably any task it was called upon to do, and many appreciative and flatter- VAGRANT SHOWS $100,000 OMAHA June 7. — Arrested for vagrancy, Earl Beavers showed assets of $100,000. He told the judge he had made it bootlegging but had retired from the game. "The police are jealous of me," Beavers said. SECOND ing things were said about it by the military authorities who observed its work. Perhaps the best testimony however, is the fact that when the intelligence officer of the German division opposite came into our lines at the close of hostilities, he refused to believe that the artillery supporting the Colored infantry was not French artillery. "But perhaps beyond and above the performance of the merely technical duties was the splendid quality of the morale of the brigade. The courage of the men under fire was without criticism. The men looked for leadership, but they did not show fear and were always ready to do what they were called upon for. In some instances gun crews and telephone linesmen showed a very notable courage and determination under fire. "At all times and under all conditions the men showed a fine cheerfulness and willingness. Their conduct was almost flawless, and they left each billet with the good will and affection of the French civilians. "I cannot pay too high a tribute to the splendid spirit of both officers and men of the brigade. The officers gave themselves to their task in the fullest measure, and the credit of the brigade achievement is in a large part due to their work and especially to Colonels O'Neil of the 349th, Prosser of the 350th, Carpenter of the 351st and Andrus of the Ammunition Train, but their inspiration was the spirit of the men who have shown throughout an eagerness to learn, a determination to excel and a fidelity to the rules and ideals of military service unequalled in my experience and measuring up to the highest ideal of American patriotism." SUMPTER, S. C., June 10.—This historic old center was all aglow when thousands of both races joined in welcoming home the boys of our race who served in the great World War.

There is nothing more satisfactory in this life than to be able to accomplish something worth while that a majority of the people says cannot be done. Nearly six years ago Frank W. Bower began investigating Alfalfa for human food purposes. The work took him to many of the leading agricultural universities of the country and brought into his employ some of the greatest chemists and food specialists of the land. He has hired bakers, candy makers and soda fountain dispensers. At Detroit he had the chemists of the next largest plug tobacco factory in the United States standing on their heads over his imitation chewing tobacco, made from Alfalfa, that can be chewed as a food and the juice swallowed with a benefit. He has worked with the best gum makers and has learned their art, and a wonderfully fine chewing gum, flavored with his Alf-Ine extract, is the result. His formulae for medicines have been approved by the largest manufacturing drug stores in the world—Parke, Davis & Company of Detroit—who are now manufacturing his Alf-Ine pills. Mr. Bower arrived in Phoenix three months ago and began feeding people alfalfa. On April 7th, he served an alfalfa banquet consisting of seven courses to 300 surprised and satisfied home people. They ate the foods because they LIKED them and wanted more. On May 17th, Factory No. 1 was opened at Riverside Park, in which the Alf-Ine candies and Alf-Ine drinks are made. The factory must be enlarged immediately to meet the demand for the popular products. Inquiries are coming in from outside jobbers for the products. An El Paso jobber wants 100,000 pounds of the Alf-Ine chews, delivered in three shipments, which the company cannot fill with its present equipment. The largest ice cream manufacturing company in Southern California sent a representative to the factory to bargain for the distribution of the drink throughout their territory. In order to enter this very rich territory, Southern California, the company plans to start its Los Angeles factory, purchased recently from C. R. Nelson as soon as possible. Mr. Nelson is at present at the Riverside factory working with Charlie Asche, the local candy maker of the company, to get the various products standardized. At present the company is making two kinds of candies—the Alf-Ine Chews and Alf-Ine All-day Suckers. The variety of candies will be increased as soon as the factory can be enlarged. The Alf-Ine drink is also ready for the trade. The candies are now on sale at all of the candy stores in Phoenix and the valley towns, and the Alf-Ine drink is at all the leading fountains. It can be served in many delicious forms at the fountain. Here is the menu: Alf-Ine Soda, plain Alf-Ine Ice Cream Sundae Alf-Ine Malted Milk Alf-Ine Egg Malted Milk Alf-Ine Freeze Alf-Ine Frappe. It is a common syrup for the fountain. The dispensers will soon be making new drinks and dishes from it. It also maakes a delicious drink in the home, just mixed with ice water or hot water, either. It is a wonderful tonic. It is the child's drink and the drink for the old. All the beneficial effects of this wonderful Alfalfa plant have been instilled into Alf-Ine whether it is in the candy, the drink or the many other products. The Alf-Ine drink is sold in a bottle containing 6 ounces of the concentrated extract. This mixed with sugar and water will make one gallon of Alf-Ine syrup. The syrup will make 100 drinks mixed with carbonated water or with plain water. It is cheaper than lemonade, tea or coffee in the home and it is the cheapest syrup the fountain man can make The price is $1.00 per bottle. Drink it with your meals. The Alf-Ine candies and drinks are on sale at Riverside Park, at all the booths. The company proposes to install an up-to-date candy factory in Phoenix right away with all of the improved machines to make all kinds of candies, using the Alf-Ine extract for the flavor. Alf-Ine aids digestion. The Alf-Ine candy is easier to digest than ordinary candies. There is a reason why. That is one of the secrets of the discoverer of Alf-Ine. There is no distress after eating the Alf-Ine products. Alf-Ine candy is a food. It is being used by Phoenix people already as a portion of the daily meal. The recent war taught the nations the value of candy as a food. Alf-Ine candies are superior for many reasons. The new factory will be equipped with a complete laboratory and extract equipment. The alfalfa used in all of the products will come from the Salt River Valley farms. It will afford a better market for home-grown alfalfa. It will advertise the alfalfa farm lands of the valley throughout the world for every package made contains this statement, printed in green letters: "The Alfalfa used in these products is a mixture carefully blended from selected Alfalfa grown in the sun-kissed valley of the Salt River, Arizona." Factory No.1, opened without noise or blare of trumpets, and with no paid advertising. It was an unusually severe test. In three weeks the capacity of the factory has been sold to the people of this vicinity. The lovers of candies and soft drinks have decided that they like the alfalfa flavor. Alfalfa is not HAY. It is a legume like peas and beans. It contains the same food elements as beans. It has 10 per cent of ash or mineral, which is ten times more than wheat or corn. The ash contains the necessary vegetable minerals to build the strong bone and frame in the growing animal. It will do the same in the growing child. "What's good for the piggies Is good for the kiddies." The alfalfa plant contains wonderful medicinal properties. Mr. Bower has determined what they are. He has had the plant torn into pieces and put together again. He has fed alfalfa foods to people at banquets and in the home; he has cured them of many ills with his alfalfa medicines; he has pleased the palate with the delicious flavor in the candies and the drink; he has taken out the hay or bitter taste and his next step will be to grow a new alfalfa plant without the bitter taste, that will make a perfect human food. And, incidentally, Mr. Bower is going to make a lot of money and all the stockholders of his Alf-Ine Remedy company will make a lot of it, too. He has sold to this company all of his formulae, 22 in number, anyone of which being big enough to go it alone in a separate company, but all the products developed by him are to be made and sold by the one company. Do you know that the greatest dividend payers, the real steady, lasting ones, are the companies that feed people? Here is a list of a few of them, which is correct to the best of our knowledge: A few years from now we expect to have the Alf-Ine Remedy company at the head of the list. National prohibition opens a vast field for the candy and soft drink business. The Alf-Ine products have a field of their own without competition. Money invested in the candy manufacturing business turns itself 15 times a year. It leads all other lines of business. The financial backers of the company are some of the very best of the alfalfa growers in Salt River Valley. Here is a list of some of them: Senator C. C. Green, who is a director of the company; C. H. Barkley and wife, George Day, Leonard Mets, Mrs. H. C. Hovde, S. G. Witten, Geo. L. Freestone, W. T. Tweedy, W. A. Macdonald, Chas. Gilbert, Levy Young, K. S. Townsend, R. W. Wagoner, Bartlett-Heard Land & Cattle company, A. J. Peters and C. M. Martin. The company now needs some more money to put these alfalfa products all over the world. A reputable house in London has asked for a proposition to sell throughout the European countries. An American professor of the Nanking, China, university, wants to help introduce the products into China. He has offered to translate the company's advertising matter into the Chinese language. Mr. Bower met this interesting professor at the chamber of commerce, in San Francisco. The company manufactures small package products which will go into all parts of the country, advertising Phoenix and the Salt River Valley. It will give the community a pay roll and, best of all, the stock will make an excellent investment. The company is capitalized for 500, 000 shares only, and the stock is being sold at its par value, $1.00 per share. There is no promotion stock. It is not a speculative investment. It is strictly a safe business proposition, to manufacture and sell several articles, the manufacturing and selling costs being known, with a handsome margin of profit and the world for a market. There is only a small amount of this stock to be sold. Fill out the application blank and mail with your check to the Alf-Ine Remedy Company, Phoenix.
