NO. 50 (By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, March 10—The case of Dorsey Chambliss, policeman, charged with abducting a white girl who had applied to him for help and, of keeping her prisoner for weeks, during which time she was visited by other men, has attracted considerable attention and has made it impossible, according to Louis B. Anderson, for the defendant to secure a fair trial in the courts. Chambliss this week, on the advice of Attorney Louis B. Anderson, resigned from the police force. Bertha Wybeck, a white girl, sixteen years old, according to the charges against Chambliss, came to Chicago to earn her living. The family in Panee Rock, Kansas, was poor, and her brother was still in the navy, so she and another girl came here to live. The Wybeck girl claimed that after being lost in the vicinity of Thirty-fifth and State streets, and seeing Chambliss in a policeman's uniform, asked him the way to her stopping place. It is stated that Chambliss lured the girl to a resort, keeping her a prisoner and forced her to receive visits from other men. One day, a pedestrian picked up a piece of paper on which was written a message to the girl's friend, stating: "I am a prisoner. I am sick. Please tell somebody to rescue me." Signed, Bertha. The girl was finally located, taken to the county hospital with pneumonia and died later. A number of white clubs of women have taken active interest in the case and demanded an early trial and a number of other demands from which threats of such an extent are made that Judge Stelk declared that he preferred not to hear the case. An editorial in the Chicago Tribune has been widely copied by Southern newspapers and the case, because of the color of the defendant, has been given unusual notoriety. The attorney for Chambliss claims that he is innocent of the charge. Chambliss admits having seen the girl and endeavored to direct her to a home for girls on Indiana avenue, but declares he had no part in her downfall. The delays in the prosecution of the case have been due to postponement by the state attorney for lack of direct evidence and it is possible that there may be other delays or the case entirely dismissed because of the inability to secure witnesses to prove the charges. INTELLIGENT LEADERS PRINCIPAL NEED OF COLORED AMERICANS (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., March 10.—One of the principal needs of the Negro is leaders of his own race, according to the annual report of the General Education Board, just made public. To this end the board is giving special attention in medicine, law, ministry and business. The board states that the number of Negro colleges and universities is greatly in excess of the funds available for their proper support. Total appropriations of the board for Negro education during the year amount to $767,555 out of a total of $2,051,537.

Gen. Pershing said, after listening to the singing of a number of planattion melodies: "You have given me a few moments of extreme pleasure. A people who have music in their souls have much else that is worth while." General Pershing referred to the large percentage of illiteracy which was discovered among the young men of the United States when the draft act was put into effect, and declared that the American people must reduce this illiteracy. He added: "This center of education is the greatest encouragement to the colored race throughout the South. The people of the South are becoming more and more interested in the education of the colored people. I have been struck with the activities of educated colored people in the South. I have met many colored people of high character and ability. Throughout the Spanish-American war I served with the Tenth United States cavalry, composed of colored troops. There was no regiment whose courage, fortitude and bravery we were prouder of than we were of those characteristics in the Tenth Cavalry. Everyone in that regiment could be absolutely depended upon. "The colored people should be proud of their record, not only in the Spanish-American war, but also in the Great War. Of you who have had this opportunity much will be expected. You will be looked upon by your people and I hope you will not be found wanting." General Pershing referred to the aims of the American Legion and expressed the hope that the colored soldiers would associate themselves with those who will set high standards for all people. In closing he added: "You are engaging yourselves as patriotic citizens to do your full duty in peace as you have done in war. It is very gratifying to me to see what is being done by the young people of the colored race. I extend to you all good wishes for the future." Ex - Governor Says Lynching Has Become A National Evil (By Associated Negro Press) Albany, N. Y., March 10.—There is no state or section of the country where the interest or protection of society demands or justifies the substitution of lynching for the orderly processes of the courts in the enforcement of law. This is the opinion of Emmet O'Neal, former governor of Alabama, who has been active in the national movement against lynching. If necessary for the elimination of lynching, Mr. O'Neal favors an amendment to the United States constitution which would give the federal government power to handle the situation instead of the states. "Lynching has grown until it has become a national evil, a blot upon our national life and a shameful reproach to our civilization," Mr. O'Neal declared. "It is a horrible and inexcusable wrong for which the whole country must bear its just share of responsibility." FLORENCE The Rev. J. B. Bell, pioneer missionary of the Baptist churches of Arizona and New Mexico, was in Florence Sunday, March 7th, and organized the First Baptist church and Sunday school at Shannon's Ranch. Rev. Bell found 36 people on the ranch, who came in from Oklahoma about a month ago. Two of these were A. M. E.'s, four C. M. E.'s, seven Baptists and many who were members of the Church of God. Rev. Bellwill have been in the missionary field sixteen years this April and has the honor of having organized every colored Baptist church in the states of Arizona and New Mexico, with the exception of two. The church committee is planning to build at an early date and this will be the first colored Baptist church in Pinal county. This will be the fourteenth organization in this state established by Rev. Bell, aside from those in New Mexico. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY (By Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., March 10.—Speaking before a mass-meeting called by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Metropolitan Baptist church of New York, John R. Shillady declared that with more state governors like Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, lynching and burning at the stake could be ended in the United States. "Mobbism in the United States can be ended whenever the people of the United States want it ended," said Mr. Shillady. "Whenever the people make up their minds that the mob must be put down, its governors and sheriffs and public officers will act accordingly. "In the main, governors and sheriffs allow Negroes to be lynched and burned and tortured because the people of their communities tolerate such outrages. "With more governors like Edwin Morrow of Kentucky, the worst blot on American civilization can be expunged. When a lynching mob meets machine guns, its enthusiasm vanishes. Lexington, Ky., has fired another shot that will be heard around the world." SEGREGATION LAW NO LONGER VALID IN BALTIMORE SEGREGATION LAW NO LONGER VALID IN BALTIMORE (By Associated Negro Press) Baltimore, Md., March 10—Saying they feared an invasion by Negroes in the 900 block, North Wolfe street, a delegation of women visited Justice Rohleder at the northeastern police court, and asked if something could be done. They told Justice Rohleder that three weeks ago white people living in 933 North Wolfe street moved, and that after the house had been repaired, the landlady brought several Negroes to the house and they agreed to rent it. The climax to their feelings came yesterday when the new tenants appeared at the house in possession of the keys and went inside to clean up preparatory to moving in. The women told Justice Rohleder that all of them owned their houses and had lived in that block for years. After listening to the story of the women, the magistrate told them that there was nothing that he could do to prevent the Negroes moving in because the higher courts had ruled that the segregation act was no longer valid. PRESCOTT (By Mrs. Dora Rose) Mrs. Lottie Greenwood, who has been on the sick list the past week, is improved. Mr. Rice is a recent arrival from San Antonio, Texas.

Pride of Arizona Tabernacle No. 10 held its regular meeting Monday night and all report an enjoyable meeting. The ladies' sewing circle met Friday afternoon with Mrs. Tabron and enjoyed a pleasant social hour. Dainty refreshments were served, after which the meeting adjourned to meet next week with Mrs. Burkhardt. Galvestonians Plan To Attract Tourists (By Associated Negro Press) Galveston, Tex., March 10.—A proposal has been laid before the Galveston board of city commissioners and referred to the city engineer for a report to build a 500-room bath-house, with dancing pavilions, soft drinks, restaurant, postcard stands and other features, exclusively for Negroes. It is planned to attract colored tourists. Indictments against 85 members of the Communist Party of America were returned Saturday by a special grand jury investigating radical activities in Illinois before Judge Robert E. Crowe of the criminal court of Chicago. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, MARCH 13, 1920. (By Associated Negro Press) Baltimore, Md., March 10—When it comes to upstanding, unquestioned propaganda of justice, a young white woman signs herself "Miss Critical Observer" put the following story in the right place, the Daily Baltimore American. Says "Miss Observer": "American white women for decades have been blindfolded and duped as to the colored man. The colored man has been held up before our eyes as a lustful and vicious creature. As a consequence, great masses of us, through lack of individual experience, and because of ignorance of literature and statistics, bearing on the truth of the case, have come to believe the unwarranted and unfounded charge against the colored man as a class. But the undeniable rockbottom truth is that Negro men are no more prone to commit heinous crimes against women than are other men. If there be any who doubt the truth of this statement let them make a comparative study of the statistics bearing on lecherous crimes against women and their doubts will yanish. The result of the comparison will be in favor of the colored man. If I were to publish the figure I have on my desk I would starile my readers. Colored men in other countries such as Canada, Central America, South America, West Indies and Africa are not pictured as the arch assailants of women. In fact, it is said that the attitude of the native African toward women is superior in point of decency to that of men in the most highly cultured countries. When I am told that the colored man is so lustfully inclined, I ask why it is that there are 4,000,000 mulattoes in the United States and that this number yearly increases. White men tremble before this question. They know they are responsible. Yet many of them are always telling us women about "Negro brutes" and "Negro rapists." In the South, my native home, where there is the loudest cry about "race separation and white purity" the greatest mingling of white men and colored women takes place. The South is the garden spot of mulattoes. It must not be assumed that white women will always remain ignorant of an indifferent to this fact. Many of us are wide awake and are thinking although only a few of us dare to express ourselves publicly on this question. "Of course, I am intelligent enough to know the reason for this denunciation of the colored man. One of the objects is to keep the gap as wide as possible between the white woman and the colored man. But why is there little or no effort to widen the gap between the white man and the colored woman? Why are our men not punished for intimate relations with colored women? No! This would interfere with white men's social freedom. Yet they arrogate unto themselves the role of supreme dictator as to the race or color of men with whom we must or must not mingle, while they will brook no interference as to the race or color of women with whom they mingle and become intimate. "With all the emphasis at my command I affirm that the colored man is not the unworthy creature that the press, platform, pulpit, and the movies have pictured him to be. The veil of illusion is being gradually removed from white women's eyes." WINSLOW The Harriet Tubman Club met last week with Mrs. McCool for the regular social meeting and twenty members were present. The following program was rendered: Opening address, "Progress of the Negro".....Mrs. C. E. Blois Response.....Mrs. Yeager Paper, subject, "Unity" .....Mrs. T. R.

(By Associated Negro Press) Chicago, March 10-There have been three recent gatherings in Chicago which demonstrate beyond question the change of sentiment in favor of giving all American citizens a "square deal" and an equal opportunity to live at peace with their neighbors. The first meeting was the annual gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held in the Wendell Philips high school. The chief speaker on the occasion was Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of Community church, New York. Dr. Holmes was fearless in his denunciations of the injustices against Negro citizens and declared that the time has come for Americans everywhere to consider the problems of the Race without prejudice and with a view to giving everyone, regardless of color, a "square deal." He made special references to the sins of omission and commission of the Republican and Democratic parties and declared that, in his opinion, salvation will not come until a third party is established through which the people who believe in justice can have expression. More than two hundred thousand people attended this meeting. At the honor memorial meeting held in honor of Frederick Douglas, held at Quinn Chapel Church, Hon. Patrick O'Donnell, said to be one of the most eloquent lawyers of the country, declared that the Negroes of America will get respect when they show the spirit of "fighting back." Adelbert H. Roberts, a member of the Illinois legislature, stated that it is his ambition to see the statue of Frederick Douglas at Thirty-fifth and Grand Boulevard, so that it may be a lasting inspiration to all who pass that point. Mr. Roberts said that Gov. Lowden said that when it could be done so that it would not be mistaken for political purposes and effect, that he would subscribe liberally to such a monument, and Hon. O'Donnell declared he would also subscribe liberally for such a monument. PHOENIX CHURCHES ```markdown ``` W. J. CONQUEST, Pastor. Sunday school at 9:45 a. m., preaching at 11 a. m., and 8 p. m.

At 11 o'clock the pastor, Rev. T. J. Sanford preached an eloquent sermon to a large and appreciative audience. Subject: "God's Strang Choice." This subject he handled in a masterful way and pictured it so plainly that even the little children were able to grasp and understand. At 6 o'clock p. m., the (By Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., March 10.—According to a tabulation of returns from all counties, which was completed by Tax Clerk William R. Harrison, in the comptroller general's office. Negroes returned for taxes in 1919, $35,858,301 as against $47,423,449 in 1918. This represents an increase for the year of $7,434,852, or nearly 15 per cent. A comparison of the various classes of property returned with the returns of the preceding year is as follows: Farming lands, $16,985,593; 1918, $13,979,380; city and town property, $15,208,043; 1918, $13,987,665, etc. It will be noted that while all the particular items enumerated show an increase with the exception of "money and solvent debts," the value of automobiles owned by the Negroes shows a much larger percentage of increase than any other, having practically doubled within the year. BACK TO THE FARM MOVEMENT STARTED BY CHURCH WORKERS BACK TO THE FARM MOVEMENT STARTED BY CHURCH WORKERS (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 10.—The Church of Christ, colored, now engaged in spreading the doctrine of "back to the farm," held a solemn confirmation service at the Fifth Church of Christ. Archbishop Joseph Geo. H. Higgs, clad in purple robes of his office, ordained as bishops Rev. R. D. Jonas and Rev. E. D. Johnson. Those who participated in the ceremony were Bishops Brooks, Morgan and Nash. In order to carry forward the "back to the farm" movement among the colored people, Archbishop Higgs announced that a bishop would be stationed in all the large cities. (By Mrs. Wm. Young) Sunday was a high day at St. John Baptist church and the pastor, Rev. W. M. Young preached two powerful sermons to large audiences. One new member was added to the church and the collection totaled $11.00. Mrs. G. W. Price of Miami has been on the sick list but is improved. Mrs. C. C. Stewart has been on the sick list but is reported convalescent. Mesdames Sysan, Coleman and Mary City were Sunday visitors in Globe and attended services at the Baptist church. Members and friends of Hawkins Chapel, A. M. E. church, have pledged $20 to help the presiding elder, Rev. Allen, attend the General Conference. This church desires to let other churches in the Albuquerque district know that she is wide-awake and doing things. The above amount is being given freely in order to show, in a small measure, our appreciation and love for our presiding elder. The General Conference will convene May 1st in St. Louis, Mo. The A. M.

"Oh, I got hemmed in a crowd."—Harvard Lampoon. Christian Endeavor opened with President R. J. Murray in the chair, and had an interesting lesson, "Life From the Book of Proverbs." Again at 7:30 p. m., the pastor preached another wonderful sermon; subject: "God's House." Psalm 46th chapter, 5th verse. In his usual powerful manner, the pastor proved that discrimination was not in favor with God and that no denomination, sect or creed had special favor with the Master. Appropriate selections rendered by the choir added greatly to the effect of the service to the large audience among whom were many visitors. Total collection for the day was $47.27.—Mrs. B. F. Murray, reporter. Splendid Sunday services were rendered at the A. M. E. Zion church and the pastor, Rev. W. J. Conquest, preached two able sermons. Many were present to enjoy the services and the collection was up to the usual standard. NEGRO BISHOP LAYS CAUSE OF LAWLESSNESS SOLELY UPON OUR RACE (By Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tenn., March 10.—Bishop Charles Henry Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., who presides over the Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and California and all Pacific slope conferences, and who has been delivering addresses throughout the country on "Race Relations," presided recently over a large gathering of ministers of his denomination at Lexington, Ky. Bishop Phillips is a bishop of the colored Methodist Episcopal Church. `Speaking on the attack and murder of Geneva Hardman by William Lockett and "race relations" generally, he said, among other things: "Lockett, a member of our race, who is to die on the eleventh of March, has committed one of the most heinous crimes in criminal history. He deserves the unstinted condemnation of every member of the race and the untimely death which is to be meted out to him. The Negro must quit committing that crime that will bring Lockett to the electric chair. "Let us learn from this incident that leaders of the race must begin a campaign of education against committing crimes which shock the sensibilities and incense the passions of men to commit acts of violence and lawlessness. "Seven out of every ten who commit that nameless crime are found in the country. They are the unthinking and incorrigible element of our race, an element that hurts both you and me." "I urge upon you to gather together the men and youths of our race out on your circuits and rural charges generally and talk to them and preach to them against the committing of a certain crime, because it hurts the race, disturbs the peace and harmony and quietness of the community and can only result in the ruin and certain death of the offender. By such a campaign of training and education let us hope that if the Negro is ever lynched it shall not be for the committal of that crime with which he is too often charged." SOUTHERN SCHOOLS PROVEN INFERIOR TO NORTHERN SCHOOLS (By Associated Negro Press) Akron, Ohio, March 10.—A home and school league made up colored persons having children in schools has been formed to co-operate with the board of education and the superintendent of schools to solve the school problems brought about by the large influx of colored persons from the South, George W. Thompson, secretary of the colored division of the Y. M. C. A., announced. Mrs. Thomas Dison is chairman of the league. "We have found that a large number of children have come from the South who are not able to do the work of the grades in the Akron schools in which they were in the South because the school facilities which they have had are not equal to those of this city. "This league will endeavor to work with the school authorities in preparing a plan whereby the children will be placed in the proper places in the schools here."

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS Occasionally the proof-reader overlooks a word that has been misspelled and the paper goes out to our thousands of readers with what the printers term a typographical error. Our attention has been called to this, time after time, and we make this explanation so that you may know how it happens. An average of one man in ten thousand has a slight knowledge of the manner in which a newspaper is made up and is willing to forgive these mistakes. The others hold us responsible for every single error and are ready to condemn the editor without trial, judge or jury. We ask that you be more considerate, for we have two excellent dictionaries on our desk and always consult one of them whenever we are in doubt. We are willing to take the blame for all grammatical errors, but respectfully request that you charge all typographical errors to the proof-reader. Phoenix is experiencing all sorts of labor trouble and a solution is now where in sight. Many favor the open shop and are determined to carry their views; while the union men are equally determined to force their demands. Although the unions have not always been fair to our people, the Tribune has never been nor is it now opposed to organized labor. If the demands of the union men be just, they should be granted. If unjust, the difficulty should be adjusted by a board of arbitrators, chosen from members of the union and from the employers. For one side to hold out unyieldingly is wrong. Come together, gentlemen, and have a mutual understanding as between man and man. Be men, try to settle your difficulties amicably and satisfactorily ever holding in mind that just and golden rule promulgated by the greatest arbiter the world has ever known: "As ye would that men should do to you do ye even so unto them." If this is done the men will return to work and the progress of this great and growing metropolis will not be retarded. Just so long as one side refuses to consider the rights of the other just so long will the trouble last. One or the other must yield a point. And remember, men, that there are three sides to every question; your side, which you believe to be right, the other fellow's side, which, of course, you believe is wrong and the third side is the RIGHT SIDE, which sometimes is entirely different to what you or the other fellow thinks. We fail to understand that type of leaders in the south who are continually howling about the criminal element among us. No sane person condones the act of a criminal, whether black or white, and our statistics show as many criminal characters among other races as in our own. The speech of Bishop Phillips before the conference of colored ministers at Lexington, Ky., would lead one to believe that the most vicious criminals are to be found among members of our race. Perhaps the Reverend sir is of the Moton type and is trying to curry favor with the southern whites. Such leaders are little less than dangerous and the rising generation cannot afford to observe closely their teachings. To do so would mean destruction of the finer qualities which go to make brave, courageous and manly men. General Pershing's stock dropped ninety per cent after his famous address before the students at Hampton institute. He praised the colored soldiers and complimented the colored race for their splendid record, all of which sounds good and looks well in print; but the mistake the general made was in not addressing these remarks to members of his own race. We know what our boys have done and we know that we have a right to be proud of their record on the battlefields. There are many of the opposite race who do not know and it's to them that the knowledge should be imparted. We like a man who tells the world what he thinks of us better than we do one who will wait until he gets us off to ourselves to tell us about our virtues. It takes a brave man to do a thing of that kind, but any one can whisper sweet nothings in your ears. Many of our readers do not realize fully the value of the little sentence: "I saw your advertisement in the Tribune." It's a short sentence with only seven words, but will work wonders for your paper if used when you make a purchase from one of our advertisers. We suggest that our readers make more frequent use of the expression, for it is of inestimable value to us. Surely, we are pleased to have you patronize Tribune advertisers and we are doubly pleased whenever you remember to say: "I saw your advertisement in the Tribune." Now and then somebody pays an indirect and unintended compliment to the growing power and group consciousness of colored Americans. Recently the enemies of the Negro race have "paid attention" to the Negro press. They have even "cussed" out the colored papers in congress and wanted to legislate them out of existence in that Graham bill. That is the greatest recommendation ever given the Negro press. When they meant nothing and stood for nothing and had no sort of backbone about anything, nobody worried about them. Some people smiled patronizingly at their platitudes. When one got a little bolder than the rest they killed it, as they did The Voice of the Negro in Atlanta, Ga. But now the Negro press as a whole has risen to a tone and pitch that commands the ear of the ENEMIES of the Race. But the greatest compliment ever paid the growing consciousness of the race, is the fact that the enemy is now beginning to worry over the kind of LEADERS which the Negro race is appointing for itself. It need not be asserted and cannot be denied, that in the South the white people have generally "appointed" such Negro leaders as they saw fit. They did it indirectly; they would listen only to such and such a "level-headed" Negro—and when colored people wanted to confer with white people, this Negro must be the medium through which—however, the colored people might despise and destruct this very Negro. And, behold the other day a white congressman shouted out words to the effect that white people had better begin to pay more attention to the leaders which they ordain for the Negro, lest the leaders which the Negro is appointing for himself get the better of the matter. He points out in plain words that the super-imposed leaders are beginning to be discarded by the colored race, and asks that the white people who want "their Negroes" to stay on the job, had better begin to give extra attention to them and help to build them up in the request of colored people. The congressman's idea is the old one; that whenever these favored leaders ask for anything "for the race," the whites must seem to give ear to it and to hear it favorably,—so that the race will fall in line behind these usable leaders. To be brief and to the point, it is just like bear hunting; we set a trap and leave a piece of beef for the bear—BUT in order that we might eat the whole bear later.

PLACES FOR CONSUMPTIVES Hundreds of people come to Arizona every month suffering from tuberculosis. Some of them go to sanatoriums, but more are seeking places, especially out of town, where they can live quietly and can be fed simply with plenty of milk and eggs as a foundation for getting well. There are many ranches and country places in Arizona that could accommodate one or more such individuals to advantage and at the same time perform a very decided service for humanity. Persons, anywhere in the state, who can find room for even one health-seeker, are requested by the Arizona Anti-Tuberculosis Society to send their names to the society's headquarters at 300 East Adams street, Phoenix, together with the information as to the class of boarder desired, accommodations, location, costs, etc. A list is being arranged of places where healthseekers will be welcomed. This data will be of enormous value since many who are only slightly indisposed and are prepared to pay well now go away because they can find no satisfactory place to stay. 1910 FRANK L.

Phone 1956, One Million Feet Did you ever hear tell of lumber sold at these prices? Say no, because you never have and never will, and you will be kicking the stuffing out of yourself later on, you mind now what I tell you, when you can buy 1x6 and 2x6 for $35.00 per 1,000 square feet and don't do it. A car of trimming timber at $45 to $60 per 1,000 sq. ft. No matter if you have use for it now or not, you will later on, and, as I said, you will be kicking yourself hard, and you may be laid up for months on account of not doing your duty by buying the stuff when you have the opportunity to get it cheap. The old saying is, "every one in the world has a chance some time." That is when you must jump at it. Take it in; it may be a long time before another opportunity is offered. A few dollars buys a big load here, a few dollars buys enough to build a 3-room house. I am trying to explain to you what you miss if you don't hurry and get here with your wagon at once, load it yourself, figure it up yourself. If I find you don't pile on enough, I will tell you. If you can figure more square feet in a load than I can I will give you back half your money. No telling what you can do here. You can load it yourself, count it yourself, pay for it yourself. I forgot to tell you a little secret I got onto in this lumber business. Never trust anyone. That way it is impossible for you to lose anything. I can say if I sell that 1,000 feet of lumber at a $5 profit, I've got it. I don't need any bonded collectors with a collar on a foot high. I don't need any bookkeeper to tell me, "I guess that account is lost." Nothing doing here in that line. If you or your next door neighbor buys lumber from me, it takes the spot cash before it leaves. Do you tumble now how it is possible for me to make these low prices? Of course you do. Some of my customers lately have said: "I'll pay you when delivered." Nothing doing in that line. Some say: "You bring it out to the house and my wife will pay you." Now look here. I tried all that. I don't mean to say that the wife was no good. When my truck unloaded the stuff and got no money, it was simply a case of her attending to her household duties. The kids came out and told my driver, "Mamma had to go to the grocery store to get something to keep the family from starving to death." One big boy thought he might lighten the heart of my poor driver by saying: "Papa's got a ranch with 40 pigs on it; he will pay you." Now here I am going to quit by saying: Come along if you need lumber. I've got everything for building a house. I've got the stuff that makes the farmer smile when he gets a load of my $35 stuff to fence in his cattle, hogs, chickens. Bulldogs, wildcats and wolves can't get through 'em. Remember the price, $35.00 to $75.00 per 1,000 square feet. Ohlrau Lumber Yard and Phoenix Planing Mill I deliver by truck at cost, but you must be here when it is loaded and pay spot cash or it won't move. It's a new one on you, it's a good one for me. Don't feel insulted, it's my way of doing business. Cash, Cash, Cash, and for Cash Only! Good-bye! 502-510 South First Ave. SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920 ```markdown ``` SATURDAY. MARCH 13. 1920. PETER J.

The judges decided that three points were made by the affirmative and three by the negative. The program for this Friday evening, March 12, is as follows, and will be rendered at the C. M.
