First Runs Are Usually the sweetest and Therefore the Best Producers —Ten to Fifteen Trees Enough for Family. Washington.—Remember the days when you went to the maple sugar parties? Well, maple sugar time is here. The sugar and sirup industry is American and offers good commercial opportunities. Only the United States and Canada produce this much prized product on a commercial scale, which is at once a delicacy and a high-quality article of diet. Warm days and nights are essential to a satisfactory pay, and the sugar content may vary considerably from day to day. Tapping of sugar trees if done properly in no way injures the tree. The trees have been tapped for more than 100 years and are still in good condition. The maple is well up among the leaders in the American Forestry association's vote for a national tree: Early Tapping is Favored. Top early in the season, says a general, to obtain the earlier run, which is actually the sweetest, and therefore the best producers. Makers have lost half and even more of their crops by not being prepared for the first run. In general, the association points out, the season is ready to open during the first or middle of February in the southern section and later in the northern regions when days are becoming warm—when the temperature goes above freezing during the day and at night below freezing. If the days are very bright, warm, and sunny the sap will start with a rush, but soon shacken, or if a high wind starts the flow is checked. A thirteen thirty-seconds of an inch (13-32 inch) bit is often used. Its direction should be slightly upward into the tree, the slant allowing the hole to drain readily. With an ordinary tree the hole should not be over one and a half to two inches deep at the best. Apparatus for sip and sugar-making not necessarily represent a large outlay. A number of sap spouts, either wooden or metal, are needed. The sipurp is usually gathered in buckets. From ten to fifteen trees usually will yield enough sipurp for family use to make tapping worth while, and in many cases will afford a surplus which can be sold at a remunerative price. The flow of sap depends upon the age, condition and habit of growth of the trees, also upon the character of the weather and condition of the soil during the sap-flowing season. In a good season a tree fifteen inches in diameter will yield sufficient sap to make from one to six quarts of sap, which in turn can be concentrated into two to ten pounds of sugar. Larger trees under the same condition will produce correspondingly large yields of sap and sugar. All hard maple trees, eight inches or more in diameter, may be safely and profitably tapped for sap and sugar production. Industry is not confined to circumscribed areas in New England and New York. There are "sugar bushes" throughout eastern and northwestern United States and south to include North Carolina and Tennessee; west to northern Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. A considerable number of maple trees of a sugar-yielding species are found in Washington and Oregon. Delmote, Cal.-Mrs. Mildred Jacques, wife of Claude Jacques of Delmote, and Mrs. Maud Plerson, wife of a Monterey business man, twin sisters, are proud to have sons born the same day. The baby weighed respectively the same as their mothers at birth. BOY SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE New York Lad Wiggles in School and the Matches in His Pocket Are Ignited. Little Falls, N. Y.—Pedro Sacherlella, a boy in the eighth grade in the Little Falls high school, was sitting at his desk, wriggling, as boys do. Another boy, sitting near him, saw a column of smoke ascending along Pedro's backbone and circling toward the ceiling. A quick look revealed the fact that matches in Pedro's pocket had been rubbed violently enough to set the fire. Other pupils and the teacher jumped to the rescue and Pedro's sweater was jerked off, the fire beat out and the small boy returned to his seat. A considerable hole was burned through Pedro's clothes and he was not hurt, though the fire extinguishers shock him up considerably. Defective Page VOL. 37 NO..33 Figures as to Yields. WORLD STAMP EXPERTS MEET More Than $250,000 Worth of Rare Specimens on Exhibition at Berlin Sale. Berlin.-Philatelic experts from all parts of the world came to Berlin to attend the great stamp sale just held here, which it is claimed has a wider market than any ever before held in Europe. The total number of lots was 1,587 and the value at upset prices exceeded $250,000 nominally. During the first day's sale there was a rush for rare Argentine, Brazilian and Bolivian issues. United States issues included the only canceled copy of the "Franklin Carriers," brown orange error of 1851, the Livingstone (Alabama) 5-cent of 1861, and three blocks of the new S. A. 90-cent and 80-cent issues of 1890, with flags inserted. The gem of the American collection was a postal envelope of the Confederate States of America bearing on the right hand a 5-cent stamp in black and on the left a Confederate seaman nailing the "Stars and Bars" to the mast. BUFFALO MILK ON HOOF INTERNATIONAL As milk wagons are unknown in India the milkman delivers the daily supply on the hoof, going from door to door with his buffalo. ITALY HAS BREAD PROBLEM Working Classes of the Country Refuse to Shoulder the Burden of Increased Cost. Rome—The Italian government is facing an almost unsolvable problem in the question of the cost of the national budget. During and since the war the price of bread was kept down artificially, the government paying $1,100,000,000, and even lately $1,250,000,000 yearly, as the difference between the actual cost of the flour and the price paid by the consumer. The price of 21.5 pounds of ordinary bread used to be equivalent to nine cents, or of a finer quality 11 or 12 cents; now the price for the 12 cents used, and the Italian working classes utterly refuse to pay the balance, which would increase the cost to them to 40 cents. Sign Painting Pays Best; Lawyer Only "on Side" New York—When Harry J. Shields was called as a prospect juror before Judge Mitchell M. of Brooklyn, he was asked if he had ever served in the case of a man charged with concealing his assets. Shields said he had been a trustee in bankruptcy. "Why, such a person has to be a lawyer, and your card says you can be a sign painter," remarked one of the attorneys. "Oh, yes. I'm a lawyer, too." Shields replied, "but I can make more money painting signs, so I practice law on the side." Shields was excused from jury service. BRICKS FROM STRAW, CLAIM French Textile Expert's Invention Will Relieve the Housing Crisis, He Says. Paris—A French textile expert claims that he has invented a process for making bricks from compressed straw. He is searching for funds to prove that he is no idle dreamer and can relieve the present housing crisis by building houses. He says the straw to the slight weight of the material, there is no need for deep foundations, and the whole building can be completed in a month. It is affirmed that the straw preparation is not inflammable. The first house has already been built in Montargis. Owl Showed Wisdom. Hickman, Ky.—A scream stopped the saw in the Mengel mills here. Investigation revealed a large owl in the hollow of the log. Its feathers had been clipped, but otherwise it was unhurt. The sawyer recalled that a tound catfish was ripped with another log that had been pulled in from THE APPEAL HOW BRITAIN HOUSES PEOPLE Problem Being Worked Out in Village Only Five Miles From London. PLAN FOR 800,000 HOUSES Colossal Task Involves Expenditure of More Than $100,000,000 Every Year for a Period of More Than Sixty Years. New York.—"It's all jolly well to look to the government to solve your particular housing problem, but at the same time public-spirited men and women, working independently, with the right ideas, can do much toward aiding the government in reducing this problem to a minimum." That in substance is what Mrs. Henrietta Barnett had in mind when, with others interested in community work, she established the Hampstead Garden Suburb, five miles from London. "Our village now is a most attractive place," said Mrs. Barnett, at the Cosmopolitan club, New York, where she is staying for a few days before returning to England. "Hampstead Garden Suburb now has a population of about 10,000. The ground was broken for it in 1907 and the present position of this pioneer experiment of town extension, in spite of suspension of building more than six years, is most satisfactory." Aspiring homesseekers in New York no doubt would heartily endorse a similar scheme, says the writer of an article published in the Boston Globe. Project for 800,000 Houses. The housing problem in England has been more serious than that in New York, is indicated by the statement that England is engaged in the colossal task of building 800,000 homes for her people at the tremendous cost of more than $100,000,000 every year for a period of more than sixty years. The necessity of sheltering homeless people became so acute, that the government adopted this plan. In 1927 it will be considered again by the government. If it proves practicable, it may be continued; if not, some improved scheme may be substituted for it. Under this plan the various municipal issues bond to carry out their schemes. These bonds thus be rented are lowest possible rate and any deficiency beyond a certain figure is guaranteed by the national government. This plan is helping to meet the present great and urgent housing emergency of England. After long years passed in University settlement work, with her husband, the noted Canon Barnett, vicar of St Jude's Whitechapel, for which they were the inspiration in England, Mrs. Barnett. evolved her ideas for a country community in which every family could have its own bath and its own garden. Of this village," Mrs. Barnett explained, "was built around an open space of eight acres. In addition to the woods there are public gardens, playgrounds and sheltered seats which may be enjoyed by all the tenants, whatever rents they pay. "The village represents a true community spirit and has been the means of promoting a better understanding between various classes by arranging that people with different sizes of income may live on the estate. It is not a charity enterprise. It is self supporting and has made for the happiness and improved health of the families who have taken cottages at Hampstead Garden Suburb. "He has the power to make "As women are the home makers and home dwellers, and as the house is the shell of the home, women should have a voice in housing plans. "The Queen Anne style in the front with the Mary Ann style at the back," to quote Sir Edwin Lutens, must not continue when it means all the beauty and comfort for the rich and ugliness and discomfort for the domestic worker." Speaking of the health side of the housing plan known throughout Great Britain as the "model village," Mrs. Barnett told how the district medical officer weighed and measured the village children and found them taller, heavier and broader than those of the same age. The apprentice was most gratifying to me," Mrs. Barnett commented, "because the pale faces of the little children of the Whitechapel district with which my husband and myself were so familiar, keep haunting me and urging me on to do something of this kind. "I believe that the solution of many of our national differences and difficulties lies in a more neighborly attitude, not separation or location. Architects too often study law to get as many people as possible housed in a small building. He hoped that once accepted with town planning will consider the natural intermixing of all social classes and the communion of the handicapped with the happy." Governor Pardons His Auto. Lexington, Ky.-Police took Gov. E. P. Morrow's car to the station because a traffic officer claimed it was improperly parked. "Tive come to pardon my car," the governor said, and after a warning, was permitted to drive it HAVE UNIQUE RECORD Iowa Pioneers Live 75 Years in Same Spot. Couple Married Three-Quarters of a Century Built Their Farm for $160 in 1845. Mount Zion, Ia.—Seventy-five years ago Daniel Reneker brought Mary, his bride of five days, to Iowa from Ohio. Today they still are living on the original homestead they established in the "wild West" in 1845. Reneker will be ninety years of age February 24, and his wife is ninety-seven. Their marriage record and the number of years spent on the same homestead probably can be equaled by few couples. The couple attribute their long years of life to the fact that they are God-fearing and believe in simple life and simple joys. Mr. and Mrs. Reneker's married life of 75 years, in the eyes of modern-day folks, contains few thrills. It has been mostly hard, work. Reneker, when a young man, left his home in Ohio to go West to see the country. He returned in a short time to work. Their honeymoon was spent floating down the Ohio river to the Mississippi, a small boat. On landing at the Mississippi the couple headed north for the Arkansas. Reneker and previously erected the forest wilderness of Iowa, near the present site of Mount Zion. There they went and there they are today. The early years were spent in clearing the 160 acres of timber Reneken had purchased at $1 an acre. Supplies were brought from a trading post 45 miles away. Ground on their tract was broken with the aid of oxen. Five children were born to the Renekers. Four of them still survive. All are boys. The eldest is Jacob, aged seventy-two, and the youngest is Dr George W. Reneken, aged fifty-two. The other two "boys" are Joshua and Dallas Reneken. With the exception of Dr. George, all the sons remained near the old homestead. Dr. George left home at the age of twelve. Today he is a resident of Falls City, Neb., and is the state representative from the First Nebraska district. The present home of the Renekers was built in 1861 near the site of the original log cabin. The couple have taken few trips away from their home. They have made several trips to Falls City, Neb., to visit their "boy," Dr. George, and once went back to visit childhood scenes in Ohio. WATCHING FOR FOREST FIRES JEWELLE MAY 1900 This young woman is an officer of the United States forest service and her post is high on one of the mountain peaks in the National forest in Colorado. Many women are now displacing men as fire observers. The work is interesting and light and the women are filling the jobs satisfactorily. Of course they have other durations watching for fires, but as most of them have natives of the country in which they live, they can easily qualify as foresters, having studied the woods from childhood. GERMANS POUR INTO JAPAN Number There Before War Practically Doubled, According to Tokyo Paper. Tokyo—German residents in this country are steadily increasing in number, the Yamato reports. As compared with pre-war days the number has already been practically doubled, it is said. Most of the newcomers are employed by Japanese firms as engineers or technicians. According to the same authority, toys, chemicals and dyesulfur worth more than 10,000,000 yen have been imported from Germany since the peace. Insisted on Courtesy. Jasper, Ind.—Judge John L. Bretz, who while on the bench had a set of rules which barred discourtesy, is dead. His rules read as follows: "Witnesses and parties will be required to treat men with proper respect and likewise attorneys, both in examination and respect, both in examination and argument. Use of words 'lar, perjurer, secondral, etc., in argument is forbidden." PRICES OF FARM LAND INCREASE Jump 65 Per Cent in Five Years, According to Estimates of Secretary Meredith. FACTOR IN FARM OWNERSHIP While Reflection of Upward Movement of Commodity Prices, it Indicates Increasing Scarcity of Farm Land. Washington—During the last five years the selling price of farm land and improvements in the United States increased 65 per cent, according to estimates made by the secretary of agriculture in his annual report to the President, Between March, 1919, and March, 1920, the increase was 21.1. Although the data for the 1920 census are not yet available, it seems probable, the secretary said, that while the average price of farm land and improvements per acre increased only 20 per cent during the 40 years from 1860 to 1900 the price in 1920 is two and one-half times that of 1910 and five times that of 20 years ago. "The price of farm lands is one of the important factors in the problem of farm ownership," said the secretary, March, 1919, and March, 1920, the increase in the selling price of farm land and improvements was 21.1 per cent. In the last five years the increase has been 65 per cent. Net Return Lesa. "In some sections the net return on the purchase price of farm lands is considerably less than the ordinary rate of return on first mortgages and similar investments. The rental rate of cash leaves, also, is frequently less than half the rate of return on mortgages. Studies made by the department indicate that, in certain regions, the advantage in the price of land has still further aggravated this condition. Such a situation is unfortunate, for it increases the difficulties of a tenant who is seeking to become an owner. "While the increase in land prices is, to some extent, a reflection of the general upward movement in the level of commodity prices, it must be regarded, in part, as an indication of the increasing scarcity of land available for agricultural use. "War conditions stimulated an expansion of the area devoted to crops, estimating that in 1918, or an increase of 3.4 per cent in the per capita acreage. This was effected by utilizing pasture land for crop production and by bringing into use other uncultivated areas. The expansion was particularly marked in the case of small grains. Since the armistice there has been a reduction in crop acreage. From 1919 to 1920 there was a decline of 5.4 per cent in the acreage of 20 principal crops. Apparently the reduction has been able to increase the pastures and by discontinuing the use of the low-grade areas which were temporarily utilized. What the War Did. "These changes should be instructive to those who would reduce the prices of farm products by bringing into use large areas of new land. It is clear that if prices had been extraordinarily remunerative to the farmer compared with the returns on capital and labor in industry, we would not witness this reduction of the change in cultivation, but on the other hand, a temporary increase. It while the war conditions temporarily increased the net cash income of the farmer and stimulated a temporary expansion of the crop area, this was due in large measure to the response of the farmers to the insistent call for more food, particularly wheat and rye, the principal bread grains. It is of no small significance that the contraction in acreage has been caused by the increase of these crops, estimated at 31.5 per cent for winter wheat, 16.5 per cent for spring wheat, and 22.6 per cent for rye." SEEKS TO ENTER U. S. ON RAFT Austrian Stowaway Forced, However, to Call Help in New York Harbor. New York.—After bobbing around almostly in the harbor on a rift for several hours in the dark, Waste Ernst, an eighteen-year-old stowaway from Uniasha deodato to abandon his novel method of duding Ellis岛 officials and called defectedly for help. While thawing out by a radiator, he told a tugboat captain, who found him after much searching, he had been informed that the way of stowaways entering America was hard and, con- sequently, when his ship entered the harbor he threw the raft overboard, jumped on it and hoped to be washed ashore. He was taken to Ellis island for deportation. Children Unshaded in Big Shoe Town. Brockton, Mass.—This city produces shoes for world-wide distribution and makes of some kinds than any other city, but Charles P. Brooks, attendance officer of the school board, reported that many of its children are unshod. There are at least fifty children in the city who cannot go to school, but they lack shoes, he said, and some of them have not been to school in weeks. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. MOON AFFECTS RADIO American Fleet Officers Make Interesting Discovery. Efficiency of Air for Transmitting Radio Communications Affected by Changes of Moon. Paris.—The changes of the moon have been found by the radio officers of the small American fleet in the Adriatic sea to have a striking effect upon the efficiency of the atmosphere for transmitting radio communications. The officers have succeeded in drawing curves and other diagrams, based upon months of observation, which, they assert, reliably to indicate what atmospheric and celestial conditions affecting radio service will be met at any particular date in the future. The discovery apparently has special application to the vicinity of the Adriatic, for there the changes in the atmospheric conditions caused by the change in the world's relation to the moon are much more marked than anywhere else in the world so far as yet discovered. The Adriatic fleet under Admiral Andrews depends almost entirely for its communications upon radio service, and having only receiving and sending apparatus of moderate efficiency it has specially benefited from the discoveries. The powerful land wireless stations, such as the new La Fortuna, manage to overcome unfavorable conditions by using great power and so are not concerned about which way the moon turns.

Taylor, retiring judge of the Yakima super court, has announced he will resume his legal service with the principles of new thought. "As I shall apply the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, to legal service," he states, "I shall accept no employment to fight lawsuits, as counsel or assist others to do so, nor attempt to collect debts; though if I can assist people in keeping out of lawsuits or settling litigation in which they are already involved I shall consider I have rendered the highest legal service. I shall trust in God, no those I serve, for my compensation, making no fixed charge. My clients will pay what we think is right and their means justify." HAWAII PRODUCING ALCOHOL Manufacture of Motor Fuel From Sugar Molasses Insures Emergency Supply. Honolulu, T. H.—Within two years the territory of Hawaii will produce enough motor fuel for its own needs, including the requirements of the army and navy forces here, should their bases of supply be cut off, according to Col. Howard Hathaway, collector of internal revenue. Commercial manufacture of fuel allowed from sugar molasses has been made by amendments to internal revenue regulations governing the manufacture of denatured alcohol. Colonel Hathaway said. A small plant operated on a sugar plantation on the island of Mauli is producing sufficient motor fuel for the plantation's own needs. Woman Branded. Bloomington, Ind.-When she failed to give food to a tramp who called at her home near Kirksville, Mrs. John Carmichael, forty-five years old, a farmer's wife, was attacked and branded in many places with a fattlron she had been using. Her screens attracted persons passing by and a posse was organized to search for her assailant. Bloodhounds followed the trail of the Dixie Highway, nine miles south of here, where they lost it. $2.40 PER YEAR WORLD SECRETS BEING SOUGHT Sixteen Exploration Expeditions Are Now in Progress or in Contemplation. MANY PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED Most Important Enterprise Is British Antarctic Expedition Headed by Commander John Lachlan Cope —Amundsen is Trying for North Pole. New York.-Sixteen exploration expeditions are now in progress or in contemplation after four years of inactivity in this line of scientific research due to the great war. Most of these enterprises have been undertaken or projected since the armistice, and they recall the fact that mother earth has important biological, geological, and meteorological problems to be solved. One of the most important of these enterprises is the British Antarctic expedition, headed by Commander John Lachlan Cope, F. R. G. S., formerly of the British navy. It is financed for $750,000, includes five ships, 125 men, several airplanes and extensive wireless apparatus. The undertaking is to require five years and its objects are the circumnavigation of the Antarctic sea, a dash whaling grounds and the discovery of supposedly rich gold, silver, coal and ruby fields. Capt. Roald Amundsen, who discovered the south pole in 1911, left Nome, Alaska, last August in an attempt to reach the north pole. His ship, the Maud, had already spent nineteen months in the Arctic, north of Asia and Europe, and had successfully made the northeast passage. He expected to be locked in the ice pack and to drift toward the pole when the Arctic winter ended. In negotiating his way to Nome he was frequently compelled to blast a path through the ice. Captain Amundsen was last heard of East eape, about 170 miles northwest of Nome in the Bering strait. The explorer, on account of high wages and scarcity of men, was handicapped. Back of help, his only companions were three sailors and an Eskimo cook. Other Prospects on Foot The other interesting expeditions project or now under way are as follows: Siberia—Ackel, Axel landmark and Capt. John Vatnet, in a 50-foot power boat are on a 4,000-mile voyage to Kolyma river, using a primitive chart made in 1878 by Nordenskjold, a Swedish explorer on his voyage from Norway to Japan via the Arctic ocean. Greenland—Knud Rasmussen, Danish explorer, who returned from the east coast late in 1919, after studying Eskimo tribes, is preparing for another expedition of five years' duration. He is planning a scientific survey of North Greenland, his main purpose being to establish Danish sovereignty in that territory. Africa—Four expeditions are in progress, namely, the Mackle ethnological expedition to Central Africa for the purpose of studying the Bahima, one of the chief pastoral tribes of Ankole, a district west of Uganda; the British natural history of museum expeditions to the west coast and the Jeb-Maria mountains; the duke of Abruzzi's effort to find the sources of the Webl Sheebell river, which flows from Ayssinla through Italian Somalland into the Indian ocean, and the entomological tour of the Belgian portion of Tunganyika and the eastern coast of Serengeti, where explored the Ituri and Semliki forests, a strange race of pigmy savages, as well as gathering a wonderful collection of moths and butterflies. Baffin Land—Donald P. MacMillan, who was with Admiral Peary plans to start next year to explore one of the richest fields in the far north. He expects to establish a camp 700 miles south of Eath in Northwest Greenland, where his Crocker Land expedition passed four winters. He will attempt to circumnavigate Baffin Land and penetrate 1,500 miles of its western coast. Nova Zembla—Dr. Olaf Holtedahl of Christiana university is organizing a northwestern natural science and, geological expedition to this country and penetrating 1,500 miles of its western coast. Mexico—Prof. Emilio Oddone, a famous Neapolitan seismologist, representing the Italian government, is now studying the earthquake situation in Mexico by means of his "inerviometer," an invention by which he is able to measure both motion and energy. Will Explore Amazon. The Amazon-Exploration of this great river to be undertaken by a large party of American scientists, headed by Dr. Henry H. Rushy of Columbia university. The party expects to leave early in January and to traverse more than 1,000 miles of almost virgin land in the upper reaches of the river basin. Dr. Rushy is to be accompanied by Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Leeland Stanford, Jr. university and Dr. Carl H. Eingemann of the University of Indiana, who are to study fish and reptiles: Dr. Ruthen of the University of Michigan, who is to study frogs, and Dr. Edward Kromers of the University of Wisconsin, and Prof. A.

K. “Kianrest,” the new home recent- ly presented to “Colonel” Simmons, head of the Ku Klux Kian, situate at 1840 Peachtree road, Atlanta, Ga, was dedicated Saturday night. Sim- mons’ made the opening speech and denounced the people who are fight- ing the order of the “invisible em- pire.” ‘The chief speech was made by Governor Hardwick of the state of Georgia who said among other things: “This is a republic, but it is also a white republic, therefore I do not see how any” honorable or Christian person can attack the Ku Klux Klan, an organization which stands for white supremacy, Anglo-Saxonism and Americanism.” * * * “If T were the ruler of.a Caucasian state I would make every man follow the principles of the Christian religion, and I would exclude negroes from citizenship.” “I am not a member of the organ- ization, but I am not too good to be as my father was a member during reconstruction days.” Col, Simmons read Article 2 of the Constitution, which requires a person to be a na- tive born white man above 18 years of age and a Christian. Simmons did THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on pro- test.

A, B, Booth adjutant-general and chief of staff of the Confederate Veterans’ association opened the meeting with prayer. The Atlanta Constitution of ‘Tues. day, August 9, contains a full page advertisement signed by William J Simmons which ends with these words: “The Ku Klux Klan will come into its own and take its place in the hearts of real Americans where its founders intended it should be, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE, where- in all men regardless of race, colo: or creed, can live in peace and hap- piness, enjoying the greatest amount ‘of liberty and justice in any country ‘of the world.” "The speeches at the dedication and ‘the advertisement do not harmonize, but it is possible that Col, Simmons does not consider that a matter of great importance or perhaps there is a joker in the statement. STEPPING OVER THE LINE. ‘The recent revelation of the census that the increase of 6.5 per cent ir the “negro” population of the coun: try during the last decade was the lowest on record has been accounted for'in many ways, but there is still another explanation. There are a lot of inaccuracies in all United States Census reports. The enumeration of the “negro” pop- ulation is based on a false premise, and it follows that the figures are untrustworthy, The mixing of the races has been going on for 300 years and still con- tinues in spite of law and public opinion, In many cases it is impos- sible to decide who is “white” and who is “colored” in the U. S, and why is it necessary? There are millions of so-called “white” people in whose veins runs Afric’s warm blood, and yet they are unaware of its presence.” ‘The editor is personally acquainted with hun- dreds who are known as “white,” but who have a percentage of Negro blood in their veins, and whose chil- dren have not the remotest idea that they are “colored.” And if the edi- tor knows so many there must be many known to others, but unknown to the writer, During the last decade, because of the increase in race prejudice, thou- sands of “colored” people who: would really have preferred to have been “colored” if they could have enjoyed the rights of American citizenship and economic opportunity have sim- ply stepped over the color line and become “white.” This is not so dif- ficult. Every “colored” person is aware of this fact, and if any “white” reader doubts it, just ask any “colored” person if the state- ment is true. Recently the |editor met a man once “colored” who is now “white,” and in conversation, he said: “1 realized that there was no hope of 2 future for my children in Alabama, not only because of the attitude of the white people but because Negroes were preaching that we ought not tc try to vote or do anything else that the white people objected to. So ] withdrew the money I had in the bank, disposed of my interests anc ene loose from the jim-crow crowé who were willing to endure condi tions in Alabama without protest: and I am now living in Iowa as man, in all that word implies. Eigh' other members of my family an¢ THE.MAN WHO DARES I honor the man who in the co entious discharge of his duty dare stand alone; the world, with igno: intolerant judgment, may cond: the countenances of relatives ma: averted, and the hearts of friends ; cold, but the sense of duty done : . be sweeter than the applause of . world, the countenancee of relativ Gh Wana chet ke A ge ie erasers dur honor the man who in the consci- entious 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. rea other families from my neighborhood have done las 1 have done and have settled the problem S far as they themselves sire con- cerned, and we have- not forgotten our brethren we left behind as we all give about a tenth of our incomes ‘to aid them in various ways.” | The “white” people who imagine ‘that they have succeeded in barring all persons with Negro ‘blood are greatly mistaken. ‘There are few communities in the United States in which there are not people of mixed blood taking part in all industrial, professional, civie and social activi. ties. : The census plan of designating all persons with even the smallest per- centage of Negro blood as “negroes” is basically wrong’ and is done in no other country. Really segregation is just as much out of place in the census as it is in anything else in a democracy. All persons born in the United States, no matter what their race or color, should be classed as Americans. “LET'S CLEAN U. & A. FIReT. ‘na recent speech in New Hamp- shire, President Harding declared that the God-given destiny of America is to reform the world. A great deal of such talk was in- dulged in by former President. Wil son, who suggested” reformation fo1 the world, but failed to do many things which were needed at home. | THE APPEAL suggests to Mr Harding that there is work enough at home. The United States is not the proper leader for any kind of a re- form movement as there are toc many skeletons in her closet. ‘When the U. S. A. has eliminated lynching, race riots, disfranchise- ment, segregation and discrimination for a large group of its citizens so that all Americans, colored and white, rich and poor, Gentile and Jew, can enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then and not until then will this country be in a position to “clean up” other lands, EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. A eall signed by Rev. M.\A. N, Shaw, president, has been issued for the National Equal Rights League to meet at Chicago, Ill, September 10- 14, at the Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, 38rd and Indiana avenue. A strong fight will be made against dis. franchisement, segregation and_jim- crowism in general. A drive will be made for the passage of the Tinkham and Madden bills. Every local league should at once elect delegates and notify Mrs. Tda Wells Barnett, 3624 Grand Boulevard, Chicago, IN. OPPOSE U. S. RULE. Sir Gilbert Carter, who has been governor of several of the islands of the British West Indies, and who has just returned to England, says that the islanders are wholly opposed to any suggestion that the islands be ceded to the United States as part payment of Great Britain's war debt. Sir Gilbert has been successively gov. ernor of the Bahamas, Barbados and Trinidad; he says, “the people would resist a cession to the bitter end.” In all of the British West India islands the colored population amount to from 80 to 90 per cent; and, these people, many of whom have visited the United States, know what it would mean to be ruled by. bluster. ing, brutal American bullies, Lynch: ing is unknown; there is no depriva: tion of political rights,.no segration; and, if colored person has the mon ey and ‘social graces, no social dis crimination, y Well may these happy people shud. der when they see Uncle Sam cast ing his longing eyes at their rich ter: ritory. They know that Americar rule would mean HELL, with “haytch, a hee and a double hell.” DR. PROCTOR AND HIS BACON. Dr, H. H. Proctor, pastor of a con- gregational church in Atlanta, Ga., was at the congregatjonal meet in California recently, and in an address finished with this peroration: “We (the colored people) have brought home the bacon, and we are going to fry it and eat it in peace, but not in the kitchen. We intend to eat at the table“with all the other groups of Americans.” ‘That sounds well and we are glad that Dr. Proctor talks that way, and we hope he will get to work in, At- lanta and see that a seat is provided at the main table in the main dining room for the colored man. Atlanta is a godd place to make a start, as just now all the eating that the col- ored brother is ‘doing there, is in the Kitchen. At the union station in At- Tanta a colored person may not go to a train through the main entrance, but enters under a sign “For Negroes” about half way down the alley at the side of the building. If-he needs a lunch he certainly must get it at the “Negro Lunch Counter.” ‘Then he proceeds down the platform to the jimerow car; it’s against the law to sell a “negro” a sleeping-car ticket in Georgia, so the colored traveler passes a restless night in the jim- crow section of a day coach. In the morning he is tired, worn and hun- gry, but cannot eat until the “white folks” have been served. After the first, second and third calls for break- fast, the announcement is made, “negroes are now being served in the dining car,” and then, and not until then, ean he eat unless he has been thoughtful enough to bring a ‘“sam- handwich” in his pocket. If Dr. Proctor entered the smallest, dirtiest white restaurant jin Atlanta and ask- ed for a cup of coffee he would be asked if he “had anything to carry it in?” If any dark colored person thinks the language of THE APPEAL is overdrawn, just step down to Atlanta and see, or if the distance is too great and the cash too low, just drop a line to some friend there about the matter, PROTEST AGAINST INJUSTICE. We trust that our editoriab friend: will print strong editorials.and writ letters to the Secretary of War pro: testing against the color line in the army, and advise the writing of let- ters of protest to every cabinet mem ber portesting the color line in the various departments, And ask the President to abolish segregation where it can be done by executive order Let us stand toegther for the abso- lute abolition of the color line ir American citizenship. R. R. MEN’S GOOD WORK. It may not be generally known, but colored men in railroad work are do- ing. their share to win for them- selves just treatment in the indus- trial field. A short time ago a few men fonmed what is now known as the Sleeping’ and Dining Car Em- ployees’ Union, Local 548. Today this union is the 35th in the list of those in the state of, Minnesota affiliated with the State Federation of Labor, the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Intemational Alliance, ‘The Bartend- ers’ International League of America and the American Federation of Labor. At the thirty-eighth annual conven- tion of the State Federation of Labor hield in Rochester, Minn., the repre- sentatives of this organization; Mr. W R. Donovan and Mr: George C. Shan: non, introduced three resolutions namely: ‘The enforcement of the 8 ‘hour law, known as the Adamson law the affiliation and co-equal treatment of colored people in organized unior labor and the making of lynching anc burning of human beings a Federa offense. The measures received thé unanimous assent of organized labo! and that these/ipledges are being re deemed, At the thirfy-ninth annual conven tion of the same body, the repre sentatives from ‘this union introduces @ resolution calling upon organize: labor in the state to pledge itself t give assistance to the colored rail road workers in their fight for : standard wage independent of gratui ties, as this form of compensation i: not only inadequate, but has becom ‘obnoxious to booth giver and receiver We are pleased to note that the Pledge was not only’ given, but th resolutions committee also requestec the executive council to institute ways and means to bring about the desired result.

They seem to think that he is not satisfied with his own people and is therefore trying to force him: self into places and among. people who do not want him. This is tc miss the whole point. It is simply a question of status.

OUSTED COLORED. And Put Whites in Control in Republi- ‘Gan Party In Gastala. Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 10.—The colored man has been practically put out of business as a factor in Georgia Republican polities. A new state central Republican committee which will direct Repub- lican affairs in Georgia, with the of- ficial recognition of the Harding ad- ‘ministration was elected at a meet- jing held Tuesday at the auditorium by a selected committee composed of Republican leaders from all sections of the state. The meeting, called by the Nation- al Republican committee, for the purpose of re-organizing (the party in Georgia on the basis of white con- ‘trol and for the purpose of har- monizing factional “differences,” was marked by almost complete unani- mity action. Only at oné period did it appear that there might be an effort to disrupt the program, and this tendency was quickly cured. It was evident from the very open- ing of the meeting that the plan of action had been carefully worked out. The new state central committee consists of 46°members, including. the three officers, who are’ J. L Phillips, of Thomasville, chairman; Walter~L. Johnson, of Columbus, vice chairman, and Charles Adamson, of Cedartown, treasufer, Thirty-six of the forty-six mem- bers are‘white and ten colored, al- though 80 per cent of the Georgia Republicans are colored. The plan. to put the machinery of the organization under white control as ordered by President Harding has been carried out to the letter. Henry Lineolr Johnson, Georgia member of the Re publican National Committee, will re. main in his seat, as he was elected by the Republican National conven tion, and this new committee did not have the power to oust him. How. ever, he is just a figure-head and ha: no power whatever.

Back of the decadence of the home is the decadence of the people who constitute the home. Marriage is not a failure, but a great many married people are failures. Partnerships in the home and in business mean the giving up of some of the independence and privileges of all people. The difficulty is often attributed to all sorts of outward things, but the real trouble is inward rather than outward. The tree often decays on the inside before there is any outward manifestation of it. Young people should "make haste slowly" in getting married, and married people should "make haste slowly" in getting divorces. Divorce-getting becomes a habit of life if allowed to, and the next company must find the first. The divorce habit is also passed down from parents to children, and to unnumbered generations. The divorce habit indicates the loss of moral heroism, and the remedy would be in part the regaining of the same. There is a big hole at the bottom of the divorce evil, and danger of not only the home but the nation falling through. Elimination of the discussion of family differences would help a good deal. We don't have much trouble about what we don't say. Regular family meals with the blessing asked at each would help a good deal. Regular family worship would help a good deal. Husband and wife either going out together evenings or staying at home together would help a good deal. Rental Rates for Parlors, Kitchen and Lawn.

I want to encourage you to be the best man on the job, and to stick to your job, and to always leave a job in such a spirit and manner that you could go back to it again without embarrassment if you wish to do so. The best man on the job always has a job, and is always wanted on the job. The man who sticks is the man who wins. I want to encourage you to centralize and concentrate your efforts, and get right after something, and push it through to success. It is the straight and narrow path that leads to success in any line. The doors of success are marked push and pull, and if you are to open them you must be ready for a hard push and a long pull. Steady plugging is the thing that counts. You must do the climbing. There are no elevators in the success building. Those above you will not pull you up, and those beneath you will not push you up, and those around about you are busy with their own affairs. You must do it yourself. I want to encourage you to devote your evenings to self-improvement in night school or otherwise. In order to improve your condition you must improve yourself. I want to encourage you to seek for the greatest possible efficiency. Efficiency consists of ability plus adaptability. I want to encourage you to seek for the greatest possible promptness, responsiveness, cheerfulness, faithfulness and co-operation in your service. These are some of the things that make a man valuable. The valuable man is first in line for promotion, and the other kind of a man is first in line for demotion. Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. But and if that servant say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the men servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder. HOW TO STAVE OFF OLD AGE. Look up, rather than down. Look without, rather than within. Look ahead, rather than back. Maintain an interest in others rather than bestowing all your interest on yourself. Keep going in the work of life, rather than laying down on the job. Keep on accomplishing things, rather than giving up effort. Make the best bluff you can at being cheerful, rather than being sour. Keep smiling, rather than frowning. Keep smiling, rather than with the weather, and other things. These are some of the things that will help to stave off old age. THE GREAT GUY Why shouldn't she smile? She has the very cream of her summer's work in her arms and lap. It will all be exhibited at the coming show.
