Wichita Brute Intices a Half-witted Child Into a Chili Joint and Assaults Her. Tries to Escape Justice Because His Skin is White---Little Girl is But Thirteen Years of Age. No Stain on the Fair Name of Kansas. Upper House of Kausas Legislature Decides Not to Bathe the State in the Infamy of Southern Prejudiced Ideas and Whims. --- Wichita, Kan., Jan. 28, 1913. Mr. A. D. Griffin, Mgr. Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kan. Dear Sur: I hereby enclose you an article upon which you may enlarge to suit yourself. The case of the State against Fred Curtis concluded in the District Court, of Sedgwick County brought to light one of the most atrocious and benulous crimes ever perpretrated by mankind. Ella Mae Thornton, a thirteen year old Negro girl demented and ignorant, was the sole object of pity and sympathy. Her traducer, Fred Curtis. (white) fifty years of age, a keeper of a chilli joint sat in the witness box listening to the testimony of both white and colored, how he would lure this poor young demented girl, to his place and assault her. His only chance and hope was "I am white, the jury is white. Will a white jury convict a white man of rape on a poor ignorant black girl?" His hope was not very well founded for the jury brought in a verdict of guilty of assault with intent to rape. This case had attracted the attention of the whole colored population as well as a major portion of the white. The case first came to light through the absence of the girl from school;the principal Ferdinand Burnett, sent the truant officer to her home to ascertain the reason for her absence. Thus supplied with a limited amount of information he went to her home and interviewed her in person. Satisfied with the reason for No Stain on Fair Nam Upper House of Kausas Not to Bathe the Stat Southern Prejudiced 'Kansas and Kansans may well feel proud of the noble gentlemen composing the upper house of the State Legislature for the poition taken by them in refusing to let the grand old state of Kansas, the home of the martyred John Brown, enter the ranks of the southern idea or "Jim Crow" aggregation, where prejudice and not justice rules supreme. That congregation of forty true and tried men, selected from the various sections of the state, decided today that there was no need for Kansas to stain her name in infamy by putting upon the at tute books a law forbidding marriages between whites and blacks. Marriage is a right ordained by the Godd's Rule of the universe, and man ought to be free --- her absence he consulted Attorney E. P. Blakemore and they two interviewed the Chief of Police with the result after she was examined by the county physician and Dr. A. K. Lawrence, a state warrant, charging rape was issued, and this inhuman monstrosity was bound over to the District Court for $750 bail, which he was unable to furnish; this was November 23. On January 21st the case came to trial In the meantime the colored citizens employed Attorney E. P. Blakemore to assist the county attorney in the prosecution of the case and through his untiring zealous efforts he had an array of white citizens who awore they saw the girl in the back room of his chili joint, and the defendant caressing her. A white policeman testified also to his seeing her there and warning her to stay away on several occasions, nevertheless, with this evidence and her condition which was evident on inspection, besides the evidence of Dr. A. K. Lawrence of her being inflicted with a loathesome disease of which the defendant suffered, the jury brought in a verdict, guilty of assault with intent to rape. This poor unfortunate girl of 13 years, a pupil in the second grade of Douglass school at Wichita must go through life burdened with infection, with the child of a criminal to ever remind her of the cruel propensities that are heaped upon womanhood of the Negro race. Surely God in his infinite wisdom and mercy shall not sleep while such depredations are being perpretrated. The colored citizens feel proud of the service rendered by Attorney E. P. Blakemore. His conduct of the case as an assistant was commendable to the race and though complete and full justice in the sentence was the ne of Kansas. as Legislature Decides te in the Infamy of d Ideas and Whims. to select their partners for like's long journey, since the individual and not the masses is the one to be pleased in such a matter. Since no Negro can marry a white woman unless she be the willing victim, the white men of Kansas need not fear that there will be any great rush in such marriages. This fact the upper house of the Kansas Legislature seems to have fully realized, and it has acted in accordance with God's divine purpose in not seeking to place a stigma upon the colored people of Kansas that would brand them as things unworthy the name of human, and such would be the case if the Herr measure had been allowed to stand. --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY 31, 1913. defeated, it was not due to lack of legal inactivity or inattention. The defendant's only child, a son, was convicted of murder in the first degree last April and is serving a life sentence in the Kansas penitentiary, and let us hope when the father gets there to greet his son he will feel the moral conviction of his son's presence there.

On the Boat, Jan. 16.—Allow me space in The Plaindealer to let my friends and the readers of your valuable paper know of my whereabouts. We had a rough voyage through the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay. We were in the bay five days and the channel two. We ought to have gotten through both in five, but were in the midst of two terrible storms and some of the passengers got up and prepared for the lifeboats, but I was not in the least frightened, for the Lord had promised to be with me and to take care of me. I was leaning on His promises. I never got out of my bunk. It was about three o'clock in the morning. The records say that the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel are the roughest places in the ocean. We passed Gibraltar and saw the great rock. We stopped at Algiers, Africa, for coal, and from there I am mailing this letter. We are on the Mediterranean Sea. Our next great waters will be the Red Sea, over which the Children of Israel passed in the long ago, and there it will be very hot we are told. We were all seasick for seven days. The doctor who was supposed to look after us and care for our health, was the worst off among us and was sick for eight days. We are all well now and enjoying a fine sail. When we are passing through the Red Sea I will remember how old Pharaoh opposed the will of God and was lost beneath its waters, and will pray that I may ever be in the mind to serve Him in all things. Very respectfully, M. D. JONES. A BLACK PERIL IN BRITAIN! Hundreds of American Negroes Are Flocking to London. London, Jan. 23.—London police authorities say that a large number of American Negroes are immigrating to England. Some of the newspapers are beginning to devote considerable space to the subject. Under the heading, "The Black Peril," the Evening Standard quoted the manager of a detective agency as saying: "The wave of indignation now sweeping over the United States against the recent marriage of Jack Johnson to a white girl in Chicago, is nothing compared to the storm which will burst in this country if Englishmen do not speedily awaken to the real peril of the black invasion which has been going on steadily for the last two years. "London is a paradise for the black man and, the American Negro has found it out. Every ship from the other side brings fresh arrivals to swell the large colony already here, where they are treated on an equal footing in lodging and boarding houses, and sit at the table with white men for the first time in their lives." FAIR PLAY FOR THE NEGRO! Movement to Get Him Out of Army Will Not Succeed—Part of Plan of Extremists to Retire Him From the Government Service Frowned Upon by Wilson—Army Officers Praise Negro as Soldier—Officers' conference. The proposal to disband the four Negro regiments of the army—the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry—suggested as one of the subjects to be discussed by the conference of the ranking officers of the army, to be held here on Wednesday, probably will not take serious form. Nevertheless, it is soberly broached, and represents a movement, incoate as yet, on the part of extremists in various branches of the Government and in Congress, to drive the Negro out of every part of the Government service; or, so far as he may be permitted to remain therein, to reduce him to the grade of servant. On the other hand, there have come from Mr. Wilson, the President-elect, more or less directly, authoritative assurances that he will not be a party to, or tolerate, any injustice to the representatives of any race. Prominent Negroes are much encouraged by what they hear of Mr. Wilson's attitude in this matter. Moreover, it should be added that some of the young southern Democrats are themselves determined to occupy a broad and generous position with regard to the race question as it affects the patronage. At the same time, there is a large body of southerners to whom the idea of a Negro in a political office—especially an office involving any control over others, more particularly over any white man—is intolerable. once imbued with this spirit that there have come the suc- on of ti bandit, the Stgro regiments, scattering them perhaps in isolated squads among the white regiments, with the idea of enbowing them at last out of the army, as they have been practically allowed out of the navy, excepting as they may be in the enemy of servant mason or other post of a comparatively menial nature.—Washington lie.

Pegg, then a young country boy from Oklahoma, located as a hinkaker in Cherry county, the first of a large colony of colored people from the South who became hinkakers there, and who are prospering He is in the city visiting his brother, John G. Pegg, sealer of weights and measures, and buying blooded stock for his ranch. From Henry C. Ginsman of the Rock Brook farm west of the city he bought six Holstein cows and a registered Holstein bull, and is today shipping them to Whitman, his nearest railroad town. Mr. Ginsman told him that in thirty-one years' experience in selling blooded cattle, this was the first time that a colored man had ever been his customer. The Omaha I'egg, who induced his brother to locate in Cherry county, is a warm advocate of the "back to the land" movement for colored people. "There are scores of big able-bodied colored men around Omaha here who are just making a hand-to mouth living as porters or janitors or in any other jobs that will never get them anywhere, and there are thousands of acres of vacant land to which they could go and become independent in a few years of hard work," he said. "My brother could have gotten work in Omaha four years ago, and would probably have nothing more than his living to show for it now had he stayed here. Now he is well fixed, and no one stops to ask whether his egs and his chickens and his cattle are raised by a colored man or a white man."—Omaha Lee. TILLMAN ASSAULT BLEASHE Senator Compares Governor to Auron Burr—Calls Him a Low Type of Man. Columbia South Carolina, Jan. 21. On this, his inauguration day, beginning his second term as Governor, Cole L. Blease was attacked in a message from Senator Benj. R. Tillman, read before the general assembly of South Carolina, a "a low type of man, who does not realize and cannot conceive how any one else can be honorable, clean and aboveboard." Replying to charges of hypocrisy, jealousy, and senility made against him recently by Gov. Blease, the venerable senator called into play all the fury and power of invective which in his younger days won for him the sobriquet of "pitchfork Ben," and deounced the executive in unmeasured terms. Here is how he characterizes Mr. Blease: 'Catilina among the Romans, and Aaron Burr among the Americans, are the only men I have ever road of who were equal to Blease in bamboozling the people. He has persuaded thousands of good South Carolinians, honest, clean, patriotic citizens, into believing that he is their best friend and that Tillman's mantle has fallen on his shoulders. He is a past master in the arts of a demagogue. He knows full well that when the angry passions of the masses are aroused, they lose their reason. "Ihe desires to come to the senate as he boasted he would do at Richmond, in December last, and feels it obligatory on him to aggravate conditions in South Carolina as much as possible. Whether this is the right way to electioneer or not will be shown by the results of the next senatorial primary." Leading Sporting Paper of America and a Paper House to the Big Black Personality See There is no Other Route to the Title--It Must Be Settle With Johnson, the Title Holder—McCarthy. Has no Claim Whatever to it. (New York January 19, 19 Paper of America By W. R. ("Pete" Minerson. If Luther McCarthy does intend to fight Negroes—and he will.) Price $1.50 Per Year. ager have so declared—what is to become of this white hope agitation that has been going on in this country ever since Jack Johnson hung the 1901 sign on Jim Jefferson at Reno nearly three years ago?" said a veteran of the sport to me the other day. "You can search me," I replied. "Wasn't it intended, when this white hope business first started, to develop a white man who could whip Jack Johnson and thereby restore the championship to the white race?" was the veteran's next question. "That was the understanding," I replied. "But if McCarty, who now seems to be recognized white heavyweight champion of this country by reason of having defeated Carl Morris, Al Kaufman, Jum Flynn and Al Palzer, and the further reason that he is now the possessor of the McCarthy championship belt emblematic of the title, won't fight a Negro, how is that to be brought about?" persisted the old sport. Purpose Was to Find a White Man Who Could Defeat Johnsage. It will be remembered that shortly after Johnson defeated Jefferson at Reno quite an agitation was started all over the country with a view of finding a white man capable of defeating the Negro champion. White hope tournaments were promoted in a number of places, particularly here in New York, where Tom O'Rouke led off the movement. It was in this tournament that Al Palrar came out first best. "Since then white hopes have appeared in various parts of the country and, it may be said, all of them with the same purpose in view, namely to wrest the title from Jack Johnson. Palzar loomed up as a host among the Eastern group of white hopes, while Luther McCarthy qualified faithfully well in the West. In the course of time Palzer and McCarthy were matched and the battle came off at Los Angles on the afternoon of New Year's Day. Palzer and his manager, Tum O'Rauke, both stated before the battle that if the big Iowa farmer won he would go right after Johnson for the title. They evidently remembered the white hope proposition and purposed going through with it. But McCarthy won and promptly announced that he would not fight a Negro. Both McCarty and his manager seemed to forget all about the white hope matter which had been exciting the people of this country since that said affair at Reno. What was the use of Bothering About White Honey? If McCarthy's present attitude is to be recognized as fit and proper, what was the use of bothering about white hopes in the first place? Evidently the whole thing was a big bluff if McCarthy and his manager are right in their present attitude. But let us suppose that some white man does fight Johnson and beats him. What becomes of the McCarthy championship claim? Where does he get on as the heavyweight champion of the world? Johnson is the Only Champion. Johnson is unquestionably the champion at the present time, and the man who fights annd whips him will succeed to the title. That is as plain as the nose on your face. This very thing might happen, too, for Johnson has already been matched to fight Al Palzer in Paris some time inn June. But in event that Johnson is again returned the winner, what will McCarthy do with the title he won at Los Angles. Soak it, perhaps. Surely no one is going to recognize the Nebraska cowpuncher as the heavyweight champion of the world so long as Johnson remains in the name and keeps on winning his battles. Winner Will Be Recognized by the World as Champion. The battle between Johnson and Palver scheduled for Paris is going to be recognized as a championship contact that is certain. The winner will have the only legitimate claim to the title. Whatever claim McCarthy sets up to the contrary is sure to be ignored by all sporting authorities in every country where prize-fighting is allowed. If Palver Wins he Will Be the Recognized Champion of the World. Where McCarthy and his manager made a mistake—at least, it seems so to me—was in refusing to fight The Bell Telephone Serves al. its patrons alike without reference to race, color or condition.

KING WICHITA, KANSAF Editor Plaindealer: As I stated to you sometime ago, Columbia has between five and six thousand Negroes, but the people seem to be one hundred years behind the times. The majority of these people own their homes, but the streets and walks in their part of town are awful. They need two or three good politicians here to get behind these office-seekers and office holders. There would be something doing then. As it is now, no one seems to care, and of course the white people are not bothered as long as they keep up their taxes. So there you are! Here are a few things that Columbia needs badly, and if you will mention them in The Plaindealer, perhaps some colored person will give us at least one of these enterprises: Two good roaming houses. One hotel or first-class short order house. Coal and wood yard Ice cream parlor. One meat market. One dentist. A good attorney-at law. One undertaker. One dry goods store and shoe department.

Keep Close to Type. One of the main reasons why seed corn should be selected early is to be reasonably sure it will grow the following year when planted, says a Minnesota bulletin. Early selected seed corn is the corn that usually gives the best stand. Without a good stand it is impossible to get a maximum yield, and it costs no more to raise a yield of corn with a perfect stand than it does to raise a field with a lot to 70 per cent stand. Every good kernel of corn has in it a live, though very small, corn plant. This plant is tender and easily injured unless kept under favorable conditions. Seed corn that is not thornyly dry before cold weather will freeze. The freezing of the kernel causes it to expand, thus injuring the germ, or little plant, lowering its vitality and often destroying it, so the kernel will not per minute. It is well, if possible, to have every ear of good corn selected before a killing frost. In the choice of corn for seed one needs the ear that he believes will give him the largest yield of good corn the following year. It is a good plan to choose an ear of corn that is as near the type wanted as possible, then keep this ear from year to year, or until you get a better one. At any rate, have a simple ear that you can look at occasionally to help you in following one. Keep this type ear handy when selecting corn in the fall, and in the spring, when the final selection is made, it is well to compare all ears carefully with the type ear.

Attempts to Grow Fruit Without Fertilizer Are Not Encouraging. The Illinois agricultural experiment station has conducted fertilizer experiments with muskmelons at Annu, in Union county, and at Kinnundy, in Marion county, for several years. The chief objects of the experiments were to determine the relative efficiency of different amounts of manure and methods of application of manure, the effect of supplementing manure with commercial forms of phosphorus, the effect of using a complete commercial fertilizer in connection with manure, and the effect of substituting commercial fertilizer for manure in the production of corn melons. In both locations the experiments were conducted on typical molon soil of the region, that at Annu home, manicated yellow silt loam, and that at Kinnundy gravel silt loam. Attempts to grow melons without minature water not very encouraging. When the complete container full of water was used in the hills in place of mountain the tools were stored indoors.

Steamed bone applied to the hills gave fair results but the vicia were smaller than from the use of manure in the hills, and some years the plants were burned by the fertilizer, especially in the field planted crop. The check plot without manure or fertilizer produced small yields, especially in the field planted crop, where the nucleus also appeared very late. The results of the experiment are further to be in the following order: that the influence of clothes on methods of fast taking the insulating coat are more marked upon a field planted than a frame planted a crop, but that the insulating coat has more results in earlier or more likely to be controlled from a moderate amount of well tested moisture in the foli "BACK TO THE FARM."

Geese live almost entirely by grazing Marsh lands that grow a plentiful supply of excellent grasses are excellent for them, provided such lands are adjacent to higher places where other grasses grow. A mixture of the grass growing in the marsh lands and that on the rough billidle makes a better station for them than either kind alone. In almost every locality there are rough or waste lands that cannot be cultivated. These might be made profitable if used for pasturing geese. Marsh lands furnish a supply not only of fish, jelly grasses, but of mallard, winter hawks, worms and bugs that grow in such places. Small fish, trade and frogs are all easily written by geese.

Dr. Washington briefly reviewed the history of the Confidence and announced the subject for discussion: "How to Secure Cheaper Money for Running the Farm." Giving his views on the subject, Dr. Washington putted from the Bible: "To him that hath shall be given, and to him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he remeth to have." Applying this text to the subject under discussion, Do. Wait in you still it is a hard problem to carry cheap money when you have no collateral. You must be in the right order to get something.

Address. NORTH TOPEKA, KANSAS. We wish to make a few brief statements in regard to our church work, and other items of interest that we would like for the world to know in the various sections where The Plain-dealer is read. The work of Central Baptist church is on the upward and onward move, and we are working as we never worked before, striving to bring about a better condition in and around us. We have a successful leader, one who is surpassed by none. Take his leadership when he first came to "B" St. and began to past it he has been a successful man and a devoted pastor. I wish to state that when he had been in "B" St. church just six months his salary was raised to $400 per month. After reading about the narrow sides of the Manhattan people regard the salty faint man like Roy. H. W. White or other man's sal I have received to take up the question in his defence. Not only am defence but in the defense of any man who tends for truth and virtue as Roy. White has done, and to get to know that we have men who are hostile to men of brains, men who have the interest of the race at heart, filled with race pride, and are trying to lead not downward but upward and onward to success, and I say such men ought to get not only $10000 per month, but ought to be praised in the highest as a true type of manhood. (By order of the Central Baptist Church.) J. E. LEWIS HOUSE AND BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE! The many friends of Mr. John E.

"An inquest was held Wednesday morning on the body of Madison Davis and the jury turned a verdict of incidental death the hearing having been requested by the train crew. The witnesses examined were Engineer J. L. McAlain, Lireman W. P. Jones, Conductor R. L. Dial, Brakeranat H. Rodin and H. W. Lambert and L. A. Stone the undertaker.

Claremore, Okla., Jan. 1911 Editor of the Tippeca Plaindealer: Dear Sir, Please allow us, the officers of the Mr. Jim Baptist church of Claremore, to correct a statement made by one, J. Pinkard through the column of your paper. Our pastor Wm. Thomas, has been with us for nearly five years, and there is not a man more respected by both white and black than our pastor. As for your pastor, I'm Thomas breaking up a V-knockers home it is not true.

He has championed the cause of his race from a prayer meeting up to the District court, winning all the way through. Even the white citizens of our city revive him as simply fit for any service in his race. With twenty-three members, he has built us a nice little brick church, which is a credit to us, and it is the only brick church in the city of Claremont, Oklahoma. The reason why we ask that thun be corrected, is because we consider that unfair means have been taken of our pastor.

Reckoning the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover A correspondent of the Kansas Farm says that prior prices and importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm equipment and that the cost of housing and interest on the investment in a farm should be given the taste of the late Indian impersonation as a result of exposure to the per cent taxes. The mine equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in litres and tons, the hundred dollars will creat a first class machine shoe. If $200 is not available $50 will not shed sufficiently large to house a new set of factory manner $1000 to $1200 worth of machinery The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed and the use will require some putting up of machinery. This however can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide use of the farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it is impossible for him to provide a machine shot." FLOUR BARREL COOP.

The department of agriculture receives from truckers and gardeners many requests in regard to the value of direct sweepings as fertilizer. The collections from sweepings can consist of animal manures, trash and small particles of paying materials, and at the present time, when the use of power vehicles is so extensive they also contain a percentage of oil matter. Experiments were made to test the effects of the sweepings on crops of stable manure was also used in order that a comparison might be made. In almost every case the sweepings proved to be beneficial. The effect of the stable manure, however, was much greater. It was thought that the oil contained in the swappings might affect the fertilizing properties in order to stabilize this point the oil was extracted and its effect on plant growth was tested in every case it proved harmful. Its swappings from which it had been treated were next tested. In this case the growth was about equal to the amount by the stable manure in other words short swappings from which the oil has been extracted the practically equal to stable manure in the limiting value. If some method is used which is the oil be removed extra strong swappings on account of the strong low cost should not be used in the centre of it.

Cultigages are gross feeders, and it takes moisture or fertilizer, of the latter especially potash ammonium, to produce big heads and a big crop. On most farms a place of land can easily be set apart to raise such a valuable crop as late cabbage, since the Farm and Fire side Critter Wisdom. As a general proposition it may be said that the sow that has pigs before one is a year old will disappoint her owner. Sorghum is an excellent succulent feed for cows, horses, sheep and birds. When fed given it saves more expensive feeds and keeps stock in fair flesh until other feeds can be gathered. The safest bull the dairyman can use is generally a cross bull. At first this may seem a strange assertion. The reason, however is simple. The bull that is known to be ross will always be watched. It does not give fresh cows immediately after raising heavy food.

Farm and Garden Best Way to Find Out is to Make Test by Means of Clover. Lime, considered as the source of the element calcium, is one of the ten absolutely essential plant foods. As such it is required in only small amounts, and it is probable that nearly all soils contain enough to satisfy the direct needs of the plant, says a circular of the Fordham university, Indiana agricultural experiment station. The one best way to tell whether or not the soil needs lime is to try it and see, and the place to try it is on the clover stop. A good plan is to apply ground lime-stone at the rate of two tons per acre and bottom in before sowing wheat, and in the spring sow clover as usual. The clover may fail because of shortage of plant food or bad plant condition of the soil, or on the hull hard soil it best to use a light and oil of moisture in come. ```markdown ``` GLOVER HEALTH INFINITE EXPERIMENT STATION.

Acids turn blue litmus paper red, and this test has been recommended for soil acidity, but we do not regard it entirely safe factory. However, for the information of those who may wish to try it, we give the following directions: Place a strip of blue litmus paper between two water strips of filter paper, break open a moist cloth, place one end of the strips of paper in the fracture and press the hot firmly together. In about ten minutes remove the litmus paper and put it up to dry by the end which was off out of the soil. A change to pink or red which lasts after the paper is its indicators acid. Do not handle the cool of the paper used for testing or allow anything to touch it. Repair the last with different sample, and if don't feel test the subsoil, which is generally more acid than the surface soil. Litmus paper and filter paper can be hot, cold or any drug store.

WHITEWASH FOR FARMS. Australian Method of Manufacture. South Americans Use Cactus Juice The Australians use a whitewash which it is treated of will not ruin it. It is prepared in the following manner Disolve two pounds of ordinary glue in seven pints of water and when all is dissolved add six ounces of bleaching mote of potassium dissolved in a pint of hot water. She the mixture up well and then old sufficient whitening to make it up to the usual consistency and apply with a brush in the ordinary manner as precisely as possible. This does in a very short time and by the action of light beads converted into a perfectly insoluble waterproof substance which does not wash off even with hot water and of the same time does not give rise to mold growth as whitewash may up with size often done. It may be colored to any desired shade by the use of a trace of multimode of powder coloring, while by the addition of a small proportion of calcare antiphite its authenticity power is much increased. A recent consultar report states that a traveler in the rural districts of Uruguay will be struck by the fine white color of the farm buildings even during the wet season. This neat effect is natural in the use of a whitewash prepared by macerating the affected leaves of the common cactus in water for twenty four hours, producing a liquid of creamy consistency, to which time is added until the whole well mixed. It is suggested that an section of the United States where the cactus is abundant it might be utilized with advantage in this manner. The effect is durable.

Johnson was the first man McCarthy should have gone after for a match after he whipped Palzer. Johnson. Johnson was the first man McCarthy should have gone after for a match after he whipped Palzer. Instead of doing this he permitted O'Bourke to slip a ripe one over on arm by matching his man with Johnson. Suppose Palzar defeats the Negro when they fight, who is going to question his right to the championship? Nobody, and you can bet on it. It doesn't matter how strenuously McCarthy and his manager may object, they can't help themselves. The only way to take the title from Palzer, if he whips Johnson, would be to whip him. The New Year's Day fight at Los Angeles decided nothing so far as the champoinship is concerned. McCarthy defeated Palzar, but in doing so he didn't annex any title, for Palzer didn't have one to lose. It might be all right for McCarthy to claim the champoinship if Johnson was permanently tired but so long as the Negro is in the game the title belongs to him, nor can it be turned over to any one else either by default or by wishing it for one's self McCarthy a Second-rater Until he Therefore, the only thing left for Mr. Kirthy, it would seem, is to wait until the Johnson-Paizer battle is over and then fight the winner. If it is Paizer, he might be able to beat him again; if it happens to be Johnson, he should go right out for him, a matter what he sait about never fighting a Negro. If he beats Johnson no one will question his right to the championship. Unless he does not he will have to content himself with merely a member of the entire division of heavyweights. Paizer saves the Cen Whip McCarthy. Paizer is more confident than ever but he can win Mr. Kirthy. He is in the least de courageed over the New Year's Day defeat. O'Rourke also believes that it's a cinch for Paizer to beat McCarthy if he is anywhere near right. Tow Thousand Negro Farmers Meet. The Montgomery Ala., Advertiser, the principal reservoir in the State, gives about two columns to a tele- report of the close of the farmer's short course at Tuskegee and a closing conference of Negro farmers there last week. Booker Washington was present, and there was the remarkable gathering of 2,000 Negro farmers, most of them either graduates of Tuskegee or at one time or another for a period under its tutelage. The subject of the conference was, "How to Secure Cheaper Money for Running the Farm." It is a hard thing, said one of the leaders, to obtain cheap money when you have no collateral, but the same point was prominently brought out that J. P. Morgan emphasized in his testimony before the Pujo committee, applied in this case to farming, that the colored man on the farm, endeavoring to get a tochoid, finds that a substitute to a great extent for collateral is personal character. Mr. Morgan declared that he had loaned as much as a million dollars on the security of P. O. Box 298. character alone. It was brought out in this conference of colored farmers that character is security for money. One of the Alabama farmers raised this last year an average of 50 bushels of corn to the acre. Others have good records, demonstrating industry and skill and temperate habits. Agriculture is a vocation in this country that invites the thrifty, honest, willing colored man and offers him more than any other occupation independence. But there is nothing offered here, and so Booker Washington notes, to the thriftless, the blatant or "worthless" black man. The Tuskegee hall was crowded, according to the Advertiser, with distinguished guests. The great opportunity for the colored youth is farming, not any kind of city occupation can compare with it.—Daily Capital. (First Published in the Topedia Plainlealer January 17, 1913.)
