Increases will be on the same basis as given railroad employees and will be dated from January 1 last. IS IT FAIR? We are sending millions of our young men, the hope of our nation, abroad to fight for democracy. Meanwhile evidences are plentiful of a transmutation of our government, with a decided trend toward socialism. Is it fair to these young men who are about to shed their blood that democracy may live that we repudiate that democracy in their absence? Are they to return to a form of government for which they did not offer the supreme sacrifice, which they fail to recognize, and which they could not approve? If they are, then it may be that the peace which they helped to force on autocracy in Europe may have to be supplemented by a peace similarly imposed here. BILLY THE BUNCO BOY When on May 19 Billy Sunday closed a ten weeks' campaign for souls in the big tabernacle in Chicago, the final record was: Number of trail hitters, 49,165; expenses of the campaign, $135,000; number of co-operating churches, 424. The results of the campaign in additions to Chicago churches, it is estimated by the vartuous pastors, will not exceed 1,000. One of the pastors said that nine-tenths were already church members and the other tenth yielded no results. Bill cannot succeed because he misrepresents Christ by drawing the color line in places where he ought to take a stand for right. As a bunco boy Billy is a bouncer. EXCLUDED FROM SANITORIUM. Colored people have been excluded from the Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanitorium. The superintendent, Dr. R. L. Williams, gave as a reason for excluding colored people that they HOLDS THE MOST WIDELY REPRESENTATIVE CONVENTION WHICH HAS MET IN THE LAST 25 YEARS AT WASHINGTON WRONGS OF COLORED AMERICANS ARE PRESENTED TO PRESIDENT AND PLEA MADE TO GONGRESS AND AN APPEAL TO THE CONSGIENCE OF THE NATION Washington, D. C., July, 1918—The most widely representative convention of Colored Americans assembled in the last 25 years has for over two days been holding a National Colored Liberty Convention in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran streets. One hundred and fifteen delegates, with fees paid, from 33 different states are really here, from Massachusetts to Alabama, New York to Oklahoma. H. H. Warner, City of Oklahoma, chief chairman W. H. Trine, Oklahoma; W. E. Hester, Tennessee; A. W. Whale, Massachusetts; vice-chairman, J. W. Bell, Kentucky; secretary, Mrs. M. Carruth Simpson assistant, Rev. W. C. Brown treasurer. Three mammoth mass meetings have been held Monday, Tuesday and tonight. Editor Trotter of the Guardian is chairman of the Committee to draft the race petition to Congress and he and his committee are working with determination to get it received by Congress. The speech of Maurice W. Spencer, chairman of the local committee, on Monday night was considered a masterpiece, as was that of Dr. S. W. Harrison of Fort Smith, Ark. The address of Chairman H. H. Harrison and Wm. Munroe Trotter were applauded to the echo. A feature of Tuesday night's meeting was the address of Rev. M. F. Sydes of R. I. and the splendid singing of Miss-Virginia Williams who studied in Germany. Delegation at White House. Monday morning a delegation from the Liberty Congress called at the White House to see whether the President cared to discuss the request or to answer. M. W. Spencer was spokesman. The other members were Prof. A. W. Whaley, J. W. Bell, I. B. Allen and W. E. Hester. Mr. Tumulty have an offensive body odor which made their treatment with white patients inadvisable. The N. A. A. C. P. has protested to Governor Philipp of Wisconsin and directed the governor's attention to the fact that colored people are citizens and taxpayers of Wisconsin and are equally entitled to the benefits of public institutions provided by public funds. The Association insists that Dr. Williams' objections are puerile and absolutely without warrant. The personal offensiveness such as alleged by Dr. Williams is a purely individual matter and not one of race. ASS IN ELEPHANT SKIN. This is no time for partisan politics, declare the administration propagandists, but the Democratic national committee is out with a long statement showing the development of the American dye industry, the indirect purport of which is that the industry was built up without a protective tariff. As a matter of fact, the war has served as a greater protection to American industry than the highest tariff law ever enacted. Republicans believe that discussion of the past, present and future of American industry is timely, and the more the Democratic national committee has to say on the subject the better we shall like it. But we would also like to have the pretense of non-partisanship in administration circles abandoned. DESPICABLE I. W. W. At the trial of Private Frank Wormke, alias Frank Woods, one of 112 I. W. W.'s being tried in Chicago it developed that he was requested to teach sabotage in the Army. Two forms of this sabotage were placing a substance in food to cause illness and the cutting up of clothing. Another form of sabotage which was practised by the organization was to put spikes in logs, concealed in the bark, to wreck mill machinery, and creating fires in the Montana lumber district was still another. Any one of these tricks is despicable enough in time of peace. In time of war it is rank treason and should be punished as such. GLUTTING A FREE MARKET. It is rather painful to note, in view of the insistent demands of the U. S. Food Administration that we eat more old potatoes, that our imports of potatoes for the calendar year 1917 increased 130 per cent over the calendar year 1913, nine months of which was under Republican protective tariff law, which carried a duty of 25 cents a bushel on potatoes, of our homes. while, under the present law they are We are appealing to you neither as free. With our home market glutted vassals or inferiors. Bull Run and with spuds, Canada and Bermuda Appomattox fixed our status in this GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. —J. G. Holland. CLUTTING A FREE M said an answer would be sent to the Convention. The reply was received on Tuesday, but was marked confidential. Pleas Made to Congress. Congress is requested to make lynching a crime against the Federal government, and as such subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, in a petition unanimously passed by the National Colored Liberty Congress, which has just closed its sessions here and five other requests for the abolition of specific race discriminations are advocated by the petitioners as a win-the-war measure. The petition has been placed in the hands of Senator Penrose, and is to be presented to the Senate this week. The colored congress protests that colored citizens are discriminated against in public and Federal buildings in Federal territory, in public carriers operated by the government in certain States, in the army and navy schools, in the right of suffrage in certain States and in the civil service. The petitioners ask, in view of the military service rendered by their race during the present war, "that our own republic may not be a part of the world not safe for democracy." They also protest the segregation of races in the military camps. The congress was called for the purpose of laying the cause of the colored citizens before the United States Congress, and from 33 states. H. H. Harrison of New York, was chairman of the congress. William M. Trotter, of Boston, was elected chairman of the national executive committee for the coming year. The committee will wage an active campaign to secure the desired legislation. still found it profitable to sell in our markets, under free trade, below the prices required to compensate our farmers for their efforts. Now that Taft and Roosevelt have had a half hour of intimate conversation, we can say that some day we may not see President Wilson and Senator Chamberlain talking together once more? There is little doubt that if the hat room boys in the city hotels were sent out on the farms to shear sheep, they would get all the wool the sheep would give up. The suggestion of the New York Sun is a good one. ON THE RIGHTS OF MAN. Influential colored men in various parts of the country have signed a strong memorial to the President, Cabinet, Congress and the Governors of the states. We quote a portion of it. We are one group of American people than whom there is none more loyal, which is marked out for discrimination, humiliation and abuse. In the great patriotic and humanitarian movements, in public carriers, in Federal service the treatment accorded us is humiliating, dehumanizing and reprehensible in the extreme. This persistent and unreasonable practice is but a thrust at the colored man's self respect, the object being not merely to separate races, but to impress us with the idea of supposed natural inferiority. Such demoralizing discrimination is not only a violation of fundamental rights of citizens of the United States, but the persistent segregation of any element of our country's population into a separate and distinct group on the sole basis of color is creating a condition under which this nation can not long endure. When we reflect upon their brutalities and indignities, we remember they are due to the fact that in all almost every Southern state we have systematically by law or chiceryn been deprived of the right that very manhood suffrage which genuine democracy would guarantee to every citizen in the Republic. The propaganda of filching from colored Americans the ballot is but a supreme effort to reenslave us and to force our assent thereto. To this policy the colored man does not, can not and will not agree. Of it our intolerance is cumulative. Against it, we shall exert our righteous efforts until not only every eligible colored man, but every eligible colored woman shall be welding the ballot proudly in defense of our homes. It isn't so much the amount of money you save as it is getting into the habit of saving a definite amount regularly. The best way to learn to save is not only to promise yourself that you will do it regularly but promise some one else, your wife, your parent, your husband, or your teacher, that you will not let a first of the month or first of the week go by without saving.

We are sovereign American citizens—free men who purchased our freedom with our own blood on every battle field from Bunker Hill to Carrizal, full rights and immunities such as are freely granted to others but systematically refused to us. IS THE LINE DRAWN YET? The head of the American Red Cross is out in a denial of a part of the charges of discriminations by Red Cross against colored soldiers. He says that colored soldiers are served exactly the same as white soldiers, but there has never been much doubt about that. Miss Martha M. White of Jacksonville, Fla., was the only colored delegate present at the meeting of the Council of National Defense at Washington. She made a talk at the meeting. Bringing up the matter of a recognition of colored nurses, she received the positive assurance that the Red Cross had made no provision for use of colored nurses either in this country or in France, and that none would be made. Will the Red Cross head kindly explain? COLORED TROOPS ALWAYS FIRST Governor Whitman of New York was not to blame because he aided in the dedication of a fincrow branch of that travesty on Christianity, the Y. M. C. A. he was invited by the segregationists who are engaged in the nefarious work of belittling Christ. The governor, however, called attention to the fact that the New York colored regiment was the first to carry the stars and stripes to the firing line in France. That is not strange. It was a colored man—a mulatto, Crispus Attucks, whose blood was first spilled in the Revolutionary war.

In the Slaveholder's Rebellion the colored troops were not first because they were not allowed to enlist, but when they did get in and 200,000 were finally enlisted, they got to the front in a hurry. At San Juan hill in Cuba in 1898 colored troops were at the forefront and at Carrizal in Mexico in 1915 they were among the first to die for their country. In every American war, the "colored troops have fought nobly." AMERICANS—THAT'S ALL For many, yearn it has been the custom to treat colored people as aliens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing tendency among the colored people to regard themselves as aliens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. SOUTH LYNCHES THEM. Henry Johnson, a colored soldier, of Albany, New York, has been cited and decorated by the French military authorities for what the French general of division terms "a magnificent example of courage and energy." With him was Needham Roberts, another colored man. "Both men fought bravely," says Pershing in his official report of the exploit. On the same day that the cables from France brought the news of Johnson's and Robert's heroism, the wires from Valdosta, Georgia, brought the story of the lynching of a colored woman; Mary Turner by name, because she had attempted to resist the lynching of her husband. This coincidence has moved the New York World to inquire: "With tens of thousands of American colored men fighting for civilization in France under the American flag, how much longer are the American people to tolerate lynching of colored men and women? The answer is easy. Lynchings of colored people will be tolerated in the South—where they occur almost exclusively—so long as the political party to which the New York World adheres is permitted to deprive colored citizens of their right to vote and thus, through the exercise of their civil rights, to protect their rights to property and to life. NO SECTIONALISM? A bill to provide pensions at a minimum of $25 a month for veterans of the Civil War passed the House of Representatives by the impressive vote of 241 to 46. Yet this is not the most impressive thing in the incident. The forty-six representatives who cast the negative votes were all Democrats and all but one of them came from the solid South or its immediate environs. To them should be added two others, one from Tennessee and one from Texas, who answered "present" when their names were called. The sole negative vote cast by a Northerner was provided by Mr. Gordon of Ohio, whose motives may best be determined by his constituents, who will have opportunity to pass upon the question next November. The other forty-five members who opposed the bill are probably beyond reach of any political or other chastisement.

D Thrift Stamps (25 cents) at any War are held in execration; and the only method of dealing effectively with them is by placing their party in the minority in Congress. They constitute a majority of their party and when the Democrats are in power they dominate their party colleagues; and it is only on rare occasions that they can be overridden. This happened to be one of those occasions. DEMOCRATS BROUGHT THEM IN DEMOCRATS BROUGHT THE IN. "This department is too patriotic to use these pencils," wrote Inspector C. O. Myers to W. D. Fulton, Ohio's Secretary of State, on receiving a consignment of pencils marked "Made in Germany." It was a fine joke on the Democratic officials of Ohio, whose party stands for free trade. They are "too patriotic" to use pencils "Made in Germany," but in 1913 their party was so unpatriotic as to make a bid for German competition in lead pencils, against those "Made in America," by reducing the tariff duty to a ridiculous rate, thereby enabling Germany to stock our market so full that our importers are carrying those stocks four years later. Do you Democrats and free traders now see the point? If the war lasts long enough perhaps you will learn something in regard to this matter. No amount of argument has ever been able to convince you. There are a few honest and sincere colored men who use the term "negro" in describing themselves, but the majority who use the term are jimcrowists pure and simple. The time has come to eliminate such words as German, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian, etc. People in the United States ought to be satisfied to be known as Americans. That one word is big enough to include all persons born in this country. The National Food Administration is doing its utmost in every way possible to educate the people up to the THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friends I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. fact that there is not enough food stuffs to supply our needs without the practice of rigid economy by everyone, especially the housewives. The forecast of available supply indicates grave danger of serious shortage, unless conservation is vigorously and nationally practiced. The slogan is: "In the Name of Liberty—SAVE FOOD". General Pershing Denles Rumor in U. S. That Colored Men Get Most Dangerous Posts. Washington.—Formal denial of reports circulated in this country that colored soldiers with the expeditionary force were placed in more dangerous positions than the white troops has been cabled by General Pershing. Perahing's Cablegram. The general's cablegram, which was in reply to one of inquiry sent by Secretary Baker, said: "The stories, probably invented by German agents, that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, and that when wounded they are left on the ground to die, without medical attention, etc., are absolutely false. "The following are the losses as reported up to June 18 in the four colored combat regiments now in France: "Three hundred and sixty-ninth infantry, died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, 2; 370th infantry, died of wounds, none; died disease, 8; severely wounded, none; 371st infantry, died of wounds, died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none; 372d infantry, died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. Are Highly Efficient. "A tour of inspection just completed among the colored troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters show the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. "Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate, as one regiment was there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of heretofore on the western front. "The exploits of two colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning Croix de Guerre by their gallantry has aroused a fine spirit of emloyment throughout the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. "Only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. "I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." INSULTS COLORED WORLD Boston Transcript Commits Treasor in Preferring Ruin of France Rather Than Mixture of Blood of Colored Races Fighting (Boston Transcript.) However, Tommy Atkins may to a considerable extent be inclined to settle in France. So, very likely, would be the whole body of the Portuguese troops who are fighting there, and the Italians. Thousands of the Chinese laborers may stay, and so may the black soldiers from Senegambia and other African French colonies. Unfortunately the incorporation of most of these elements into the future French population would represent mongrelization and degeneration. France would do better, in the long run, to send them home, for the immediate economic or industrial advantage of their immigration would be more than counterbalanced by the disadvantage of the mixture. France alleviates all racial elements that entail a lack. Her best hope for her demographic future rests on such a strengthening of her economic, social and moral bases as would in a normal increase of the native population, and a steady immigration of enterprises young people from Northern Europe, or of sturdy Spanish or Ligurian peasants. If the blood of the French nation should be Africanized or Asiaticized as the re THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes coor The human race ha test.

IS THIS DEMOCRACY? (From Chicago Daily News.) Editor Daily News: We have in our household a young woman who is both our friend and our domestic assistant. Her ancestors happened to live in Africa through many centuries of southern sun and her skin is black, but she is a more interesting human being than at least the people she would. I suppose, designate themselves our "social equals," whatever that may mean. On a recent evening she and we sat down at a table in a pharmacy and gave an order for three ice creams. Behind the counter two impudent people to whom nature had accorded white skins—if not an understanding of Christianity—shook their heads in "superior" refusal. Do course the believer in real demonstration of brotherhood of man knows that the only inferior people are those who have to adopt snobbery in order to appear superior. And one does not expect snobbery to be able to interpret democracy. The incident has, it seems to us, a deep significance at this time when we are warring for democracy. Some people evidently see no irony in asking the brothers of our colored friend to give their lives for the democracy which these pseudo democrats interact as synonymous with discrimination. What delight such incidents must give to German sympathizers! MARGARET HATFIELD CHASE, STUART CHASE. UNCLE SAM NEEDS MORE CLERKS Although the civilian workers in the national capital have increased from 30,000 to nearly 80,000 in the first year of the war, the government still needs specialized clerks. The United States civil service commission announces that there is an urgent call for applicants to the federal stenographer, typewriter, bookkeeper, clerk-bookkeeper, cost accountant, accounting and statistical clerk, statistician, clerk qualified in accounting, clerk qualified in business administration, index and catalogue clerk, schedule clerk, passenger rate clerk, blue print file clerk and assistant to business manager. These positions are open to both men and women. The federal civil service commission at the postoffice in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information and application blanks. According to the civil service commission, the full extent to which the specialized clerk is needed is perhaps not generally understood, and it is in this class of work that women have the best opportunity to be of real service to the government at this time. Eighteen thousand stenographers and typists are at work constantly in the government offices at Washington, D.C., on the tons of correspondence and records made necessary by war preparations on a scale such as the world has never known before. Hates the Term "Negro" "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one tenth of one per cent of the colored in America can trace their descent to Africa, and there is no more right to an all-colored people Negroes than to call all people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm.

Ashe C. W. Wigington white and corn bread, pie and rhubarb pie, ice cream bread and coffee. Quite a number of visitors from the Twin Cities were present and enjoyed the toothsome repast making the occasion a success. THE APPEAL representative was there and can testify regarding the quality of the dinner. Minneapolis was quite well represented by the president, Mr. J. N. Sellers, Mr. Noah Stone, Mrs. Mamie Donnovan, Mrs. Doston, Mrs. B. J. Wilkinson, Mrs. Edith Moulden and a number of others. He also had the pleasure of meeting Miss Adah Bush of Covington, Ky., who for the past four years has been teaching in the kindergarten of the J. S. Indian School at Wagner, S. D. Shir is the guest of Mrs. Jas Thomas of Fremont, Ohio. He also met Mr. F. Baxter of Minneapolis. They first met each other in Louisville, Ky., in 1878 and although both have lived in the Twin Cities for more than 32 years they had not until last Thursday. He also met Mr. Ira Jackson, a Spanish war veteran, who has been an inmate of the Home for seven years. He formerly lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was full of reminiscences of the mutual friends of the Queen City. He arrived in St. Paul just 20 years ago on the 4th and told of having celebrated the 4th in Paris, during his travels around the world as a sea faring man, and claims to have seen the worst man, and claims in all the world. He attended St. Paul's present, were a Missionary, St. Paul's Hatcher, Adams, Bellessen, Schooloy, Johnson and Solomon, Thomas and a host of others. And last but by no means least he met Rev. Eugene Thompson, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, London, Ohio, who is also pursuing a course at Payne's Theological Seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio, who arrived in the city last Tuesday and is stopping at the Home. Rev. Thompson is a member of the Chicago A. M. E. conference and was present at its meeting in St. Paul last year, and doubtless will be remembered as the Reverend gentleman who reported having raised $3,000 during the year. Rev. Thompson was pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, Monmouth, IL, for two years and durably was pastor of St. Paul and paid for a $7,000. He is in St. Paul now for the purpose of working out a drive for $3,000 during the next four weeks to pay off the indebtedness against Crispus Attucks Home and he feels very confident that he will succeed. He will be seen and heard at the several churches of the Twin Cities. Watch for further announcements.

DR. CLARENCE E. CHEEKS The Latest Addition to the Professional Men of St. Paul. Dr. Clarence E. Cheeks was born in the state of Virginia about 27 years ago. At the age of fifteen years he went to Cleveland, Ohio, and entered night school. Later he graduated from the Cleveland High School. In June, 1917, after graduating from Western Reserve University Dental College, he applied for license to practice in Ohio, being one of the sixty DR. CLARENCE E. CHEEKS. men out of 173 applicants and the only colored one of four who succeeded in passing the Ohio State Board. In August, 1917, Dr. Cheeks was commissioned by the United States government as First Lieutenant in the dental section of the Officers' Reserve corps. After practicing for a year in Ohio he himself set to look over the field just at the time that Dr. John R. French, now First Lieutenant, was called to active government service, he arriving here the day Dr. French left the city. He at once applied for a licence to practice dentistry in Minnesota and last week in a class of 106, (all white but himself) he succeeded in passing the examination and has received his license. He has located in the offices formerly occupied by Dr. French, 409 Court Block, where he will be pleased to attend to the needs of the former patients of Dr. French and of all new ones who desire his services. SACRED SONG SERVICE. At St. Phillips Episcopal Church To morrow Evening at 6:00 O'Clock SEPARATE JIM CROW BABY. The Pineer Press on last Tuesday stated that, "Pickaninies to Have Separate Weighing Station" at Welcome Hall, July 11-12, but such will not be the case because when on reading the above, Mrs. Ethel Howard Maxwell, president of the Minnesota Federation of Colored Women immediately went to work to stop it. Maxwell has the word of Mrs. J. T. Hasterey of Canesey County Women's War Organization that the former weighing station for the south half of the Eighth Ward, or some other convenient center if the Jackson School building is not available, will be reopened to permit of the weighing and measuring of ALL babies not weighed during the previous opening. This was a war measure and the lack of response on the part of colored mothers in a measure caused the attempt "jim crowing." All teachers requested to watch for the announcement in the daily papers and govern themselves accordingly. Mrs. Maxwell also has the promise of the Dispatch-Pioneer Press management in the future to not use the term "Pickaninny" and all other offensive word unnecessarily used to designate colored people. Mrs. Maxwell has demonstrated that it pays to protest. T.7 M.C. The Above Stands for the Club That Will Give the Big Boat Excursion. The committee of gentlemen that originated and so successfully managed the Patriotic Entertainment for the benefit of the Red Cross, at the Armory, January 8, are arranging to give a big Boat Excursion on steamer Red Wing and barge Manitou, July 22.

They will have a ticket selling contest for a prize of a magnificent diamond ring that will be placed on exhibition at Gittelson's jewelry stole, 398 Wabasha street on next Monday.

Lutevin, financial secretary; J. W. Milton, R. B. Beard, S. M. Lewis, Billie Williams, J. T. Clarbourne. Persons desiring to enter the contest for the diamond ring should call to see J.

The Memorial Literary Society picniced at Bald Eagle on the 4th, making the trip in an auto bus. There will be witness hearing and the administration of the Lord's supper at 11:00 A. M. tomorrow. The annual sermon last Sunday afternoon was a pleasant occasion. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Jos. S. Strong. One of the pleasantest and most extensive auto parties given in honor of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert during her recent visit to the city was that given by Mr. A. H. Smith, the tailor, a prominent member of Memorial. There were eight in the party. The drive included Fort Snelling, Minnehaha Park, Minneapolis Glen, Lake and Park of Minneapolis, Como Park, Phalen Park, White Bear, Wildwood and other places of interest. Occasional stops were made for refreshments and all voted Mr. Smith to be a very chivalrous host. TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN. Mrs. T. H. Lyles, who, heretothe, has ably assisted her husband, in his funeral directing when it was necessary, had full charge of the funeral of Miss Hazel Whitfield, who was killed Monday, and also of the funeree, Dickman Sr., who died Thursday.

HAVE MANY QUAINT BELIEFS Alaskan Natives Probably as Superstitious as Any Race on the Face of the Earth. In Alaska the natives have all kinds of superstitious beliefs. They believe that everything has a spirit, and that these spirits must be respected or else bad luck will come to them. For instance, they must not throw away any old clothing, nor burn it, for that would be the same as destroying a part of themselves. They must make a bundle of the old clothes and put it on the branches of a large spruce tree outside the village. All fish bones are carefully put away in a basket to be taken out to the middle of a river, stream or lake and there thrown overboard. This is done so that every single bone, after it is put back into the water, will turn into a fish, and this is sure to keep up the supply. When a child is born the father has to put away all tools that are made of iron or steel and is not allowed to use them for 20 days. During that time he is not allowed to go outside to do any work or any hunting. Should he do any of these things it would surely cause the death of the baby. When a child dies it is not buried, but is wrapped in a bundle and placed at the foot of a spruce sapling. If the tree dies within a year the spirit of the child dies also. When a grown person dies the body is kept at least three days in the room in which it has died. When the time for burial comes the body is buried on a hillside or a high bank facing the river. There is the village of departed spirits on the side facing the river and on the other side the spirits of the dogs who have died and who belong to the people whose spirits are there. The spirit of an old woman takes care of these dogs—Southern Workman. Pollteness Is Too Neglected. Courtesy! Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale university is right in saying that the young men of today possess even a greater power of endurance than their fathers. The war has demonstrated that the luxuries of modern life have not produced a degenerate race. Our own heroes of 1776 were no more hardy than the young men in khaki today after six months of training. The endurance of the modern soldier is not alone a matter of physique or physical strength but of moral stamina as well. What we need to cultivate is not simply a sturdy manhood through military discipline, but also to give our boys and girls training in courtesy. Military training teaches obedience, a quality that our youth soley need to acquire, but we need to instill into the minds of our children in the public schools lessons of politeness and respect for the rights of others. No other nation has neglected politeness as we have done.—Leslie's. Cement From Sugar-Bect Waste A result of experiments in French factories is the production of an excellent cement as a by-product of beet sugar refining. The first step in the production of sugar from beets is boiling them. It has heretofore been customary to throw away as valueless the scum formed on the calrons. But it has now been discovered that this scum contains large quantities of carbonate of lime. It is estimated that 4,000 tons of the carbonates can be recovered from 70,000 tons of beets. To this quantity of the carbonate 1,100 tons of clay is added, the resultant product being a good cement. The beet scum is pumped into large reservoirs and allowed to evaporate for a certain length of time before being mixed with the clay. It is then stirred or beaten for an hour before being fed into rotary ovens such as is used in making Portland cement. Not in His Line. An auto load of Dunkards came into Winchester one day last week, and it was noticeable that the motor of their machine was "knocking." They stopped in front of the undertaking establishment of O. O. Fraze, which is next door to the Hecker & Doyel garage. One of the men left the machine and went into the undertaker's office, thinking it was the office of the garage. "I would like for you to look at my motor and see what's wrong with it," said the man. "It isn't dead, is it?" queried the undertaker. "No, it is still running," said the Dunkard, whereupon the undertaker replied: "If it isn't dead we can't do anything for it. This is an undertaker's shop." The man was then directed to the nearby garage—Indianapolis News. Character Game First If you are to become capable and efficient, desire, will, attention, concentration, purpose, discipline, reflection, analysis and research are each an exercise to be diligently applied. Wordsworth once resolved to make an excursion to the mountains, and, in spite of protests, carried out his intention in the face of a violent storm. He gave as his reason that "the abandoning of a plan to avoid a slight discomfort is dangerous to your character." Mexico Expects Big Cotton Mexico Expects Big Cotton Crop. A bumper crop of cotton is expected this next year in Mexico. Indications are that the cotton crop of the Laguna district of the states of Coahuila and Durango will be three times as great as for the past year, when it amounted to more than half a million bales of a total value of ten million dollars. None of it was exported, but it was all consumed in the factories of the republic. The United States Government is in urgent need of thousands of typewriter operators and stenographers and typewriters. All who pass examinations for the departments and offices at Washington, D. C., are assured of certification for appointment. It is the manifest duty of citizens with this special knowledge to use it at this time where it will be of most value British Visitor Has Sworn Off Mint Juleps. According to His Story He Had an Idea It Was a "Soft Drink" and His Disillusionment Was Lient. Hector MacQuarrie, whose book, "Over Here," was recently published, had an experience with an American beverage that surprised him. While waiting for a midnight train in a Philadelphia hotel on a hot night he became thirsty and sought the cafe, where he told the waiter to bring him a large ice drink and suggested orangeade. The waiter mentioned mint julep. "The drink was unfamiliar," says the leutenant, "but it sounded good and American people make the most wonderful soft drinks in the world. The very word 'mint' suggested coolness, and the fragrant smell of the upper river at Cambridge on a summer's day came back to my mind as I sat behind a large column in the cafe. Hence, I said: 'Right O! Bring me a mint julep.' He did, curse him With a large chicken sandwich, it arrived. The glass was all frosted, filled with musky ice, while a dainty little bunch of green ice, with its stems piercing the ice, floated on the top. I was more thirsty than hungry, and I was very hungry. "I drank the julep at once. It was delicious. For a soft drink the effect was decidedly interesting. My first sensation was a nice singing, advancing sound in my head. I felt myself to be drifting along a smooth stream with overhanging willows and masses of mint growing on the banks. I felt that delightful sensation that one feels when a tooth has been removed with the aid of gas and one is just returning to consciousness. "This pleasing feeling continued for a little while and then I could see the paneled walls of the room, and I heard what seemed a still, small voice talking in extremely bad French to the waiter who answered in what must have been good French. The voice using the bad French was very familiar and then I realized that it was my own. I promptly switched to English, but the voice was still far distant. Finally, full consciousness rereturned, also a realization of the situation. Then the voice in the distance said: 'Waiter, your d—— mint julep has gone to my head and I must catch a train in exactly half an hour.' The waiter's voice expressed sorrow and suggested much water and more sandwiches. I drank water and I ate sandwiches, and the vision of Mr. Pickwick in the wheelbarrow came upon me with full force. I was thankful that in spite of all I could see my watch, but if the waiter had not been firm I should have missed my train. The water and the sandwiches were successful. A faint knowledge of Christian Science picked up from my chief in New York helped me, and in a perfectly stately manner I walked out of the hotel and along the road and caught my train. "I would advise all foreigners arriving in America," Lieutenant MacQuarrel concludes, "to avoid mint juleps. It was extremely pleasant, almost delightful, but a mint julep taken several hours after a meal when one drinks but little at any time, is extremely potent. I have been told since that just after a meal a mint julep is comparatively harmless, and that it is not a soft drink. Frankly, I will never touch one again as long as I live. There are too many possibilities in its icy depths." Something to Worry About As if we haven't already enough to keep our minds busy, with war and the high cost of living! And our friends, the learned astronomers, who study the heavens just as carefully as the average fellow does the innermost recesses of his pocketbook day before pay, are intent upon adding to our lead of worry burdens. They—some of them—believe the sun is going to explode. One of them, writing in Popular Astronomy, points to the fact that our sun is of advanced age, and predicts its finish as the leading figure in our solar system. He finds that our sun has contracted 93,000,000 miles from each side, thus giving its hot center 186,000,000 miles less of room. So you see the sun's center is rather crowded for space. Something like the three-room apartment couple when visiting relatives begin their summer vacation drives—Syracuse Journal. Different Species. Our little three-year-old ^spends his mornings out of doors always, even though he has no playmates near and has to play alone. He calls to us once in awhile, and the other day informed our maid he was fixing nuts for the squirrel. To tease him and also to help him differentiate, she asked him why he didn't give the squirrel spinach or beans, for instance. "Oh, no," was the instant protest, "he isn't an inside bird, Lauran."—Chicago Tribune. Fireman's Bravery Lauded. John Harvey Stacks, fireman, third class, United States navy, has been commended for courage displayed during a fire on board a patrol boat. Stacks attached a line to himself and went down the port ventilator with a fire hose to help quench the flames, though the fire was then at its height and smoke and steam were pouring from the ventilator. Stacks enlisted Aug. 15, 1916, at Dallas, Tex. to the Government. Women especially are urged to undertake this office work. Those who have not the required training are encouraged to undergo instruction at once. Examination by Departmental Service, for both men and women, are held every Tuesday, in 450 of the principal cities of the United States, and applications may be filed with the Commission at Washington, D.

JOHN A. McILHENNY. President, U. S. Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C. MINNESOTA IS ALL RIGHT. The Minnesota Recruiting District is somewhat elated over the fact that in April, 1,103 recruits were secured in the state, which is believed to be the highest record in the country. When the final count was made for May, however, it was found that 1,240 recruits had entered the service. A rush of men during the last few days of the month netted 175 May 31, which was the banner day for the month. The rush was largely of men 21 years of age, who would have been collected (registered June 5). This as Mary John D. Yest, Recruiting Officer for the Minnesota District says: "Shows conclusively that Minnesota is back of the boys at the front, and can be counted on for whole-hearted support at all times." THEODORE DRURY, OPERA-IMPRESSARIO, ON TRANS-CONTINENTAL RECITAL TOUR. Our city may look forward to an appearance here in Song-Recital of Theodore Drury, formerly of New York, but now of Boston, Mass.

Field work on the state telephone valuation was begun this week in Ramsey County, when a crew headed by Mr. Chas. H. Christilaw, of Glenwood, as chief, started to make a detailed inventory of all the property of the Tri-State Telephone & Telegraph company devoted to the long distance or toll service. The task of appraising the value of the toll lines in Minnesota was imposed upon the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission by the last legislature, the Commission entrusted the actual work to Mr. D. F. Jurgensen, its Chief Engineer. He has about 10,000 miles of toll pole lines extending to every corner of the state to enter upon his reports, and as these must include a record of condition of every unit entering into telephone construction, and that to the closest detail, the task is an exacting one, a sufficient number of capable telephone men will be available this season, it is expected that the outside work will be finished this year. The notes now being taken will not only give the Commission a complete record of the telephone property in the state, but the data will also form a basis in determining the reasonable rates for the long distance telephone or toll rates prevailing in Minnesota, which have been subject to some criticism. The inventorying of the toll line properties of the Northwestern Telephone Exchange Company will be done a little later in the year. 1000 Iglehart, entirely modern, hot water heat, $25.00. $200 cash and balance same as rent will make you own your own home.
