DEATH OF EDITOR ADAMS
It is the sorrowful task of those who are left behind to announce the tragic death of John Q. Adams for 35 years editor and publisher of THE APPEAL. Mr. Adams was struck by an automobile Sunday, September 3, 1922. He suffered for about six hours and then peacefully passed into the Great Beyond. Thus passed away a great soul, a loving husband and father, and a good citizen. The details of his untimely death and burial will be found in this issue
EGYPTIAN WOMEN WANT TO VOTE
The members of the first Egyptian parliament, under the new constitution, are to be elected in October, and already political interest, not to say excitement, is running high. All men over 25 years of age are entitled to vote. Women, nevertheless, are in no sense idle. They are making a good fight for the franchise, even though the odds are greatly against them, for Egyptian men look upon their womenkind as possessions rather than co-workers in life.
The president of the Mothers of the Future of Egypt is Mme. Anneeseh Hanum el Rasheedy. Speaking on the emancipation of her sex recently she said: "The women of Egypt should be allowed to vote because they art fit for it. We shall soon win our fight because the Koran and the world are on our side. The Koran says: 'The women ought to behave toward their husbands in like manner as their husbands should behave toward them, according to what is just.'"

Veteran Editor of "THE APPEAL" Dies of Injuries
John Q. Adams, veteran editor and publisher of THE APEAL for 37 years, died at the City hospital last Sunday evening as the result of injuries received by Adam automobile accidenter from Adam automobile-mirroring home from a gospel meeting—which he had attended in the afternoon at the Alliance Gospel Tabernacle, Fry and Charles streets, and was waltzing to the University when he was struck by an automobile owned by Rev. J. W. Harris, pastor of Memorial Baptist church, and driven by Otis Woodard. He having been rendered unconscious upon his arrival, he was called and he was rushed to the hospital where it was learned that he had received a fractured skull, his right arm broken in two places and was died at 12 o'clock Sunday evening without regaining consciousness.
Mr. Adams was born in Louisville, Ky., May 4, 1848, the son of Rev. Henry Adams and Margaret Adams (nee Corbin). His father was the founder of Fifth Street Baptist church, Louisville, and was its past president. Mr. Adams received his schooling in Fond du Lac, Wis., Yellow Springs, Ohio, and completed his education at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, of which he was a graduate. Mr. Adams came to St. Paul August 6, 1886, and began work on "The Western Appeal" which was being published by Messrs. T. H. Lyles and F. D. Parker, now deceased. In January, 1887, he became manager of "The Western Appeal," soon acquired complete control of the business changing the name to "The Apeal."
* In 1892 he married Ella B. Smith of St. Paul and four children were born to them. His wife, two daughters and a son survive him.

ACCURSED BE THEY IF THEY YIELD
(Reprinted from The Appeal of October 25, 1913.)
For more than a quarter of the century the editor of THE APPEAL has struggled to give the Afro-American people of the West a newspaper which would defend their rights. A complete file has been preserved and which it has been able to say that not a single note has been sounded. THE APPEAL has always advised its readers never to relinquish a civil right and to aid their Southern brethren to regain the many rights which have been a wayward use of the activities of jim crow propagandists.
THE APPEAL has never been a profitable business proposition in it, which has made his out of his job printing ads and from other sources of income, but he feels that he has done something to aid the Afro-American people and the consciousness of having fought for the right compensates him for the years of expenditure of thousands of dollars.
The editor of THE APPEAL is a father and the one thing he has endeavored to impress upon the minds when he is wise to self respect, especially as it applies to the rights of American citizenship. He is a poor man and has little of this world's goods to bequeath them, but if they have learned their lesson from the sufferings and hardships and privations and suffer from the rather than degrade their souls by willingly accepting any treatment which is in any way inferior to that accorded to other Americans, the children will pass into the Great Beyond happy and the thought that he has left his offspring a priceless heritage. The editor of THE APPEAL would rather see all of his children in their even ever in their eyes that they will even in their eyes the proposition of becoming jim crowists and if they are ever willing to give up liberty and become service syphons, may God's most awful curse descend upon them and their children and will their children be accursed through all time and eternity.
THE PRESIDENT IN THE SOUTH
President Harding recently made two speeches in the South, one at Birmingham, Ala., the other at Atlanta, Ga., on the race question, in which he displayed a remarkable lack of information on the subject evidently faced by many students only one side of the question. Of course Mr. Harding is right, when he says that the colored man should have political, educational and economic rights, but he is wrong when he says that he is not entitled to every right to which every other group should have rights. President has no right to say that one-eighth of the population of the United States must be differentiated in any way from the other seven-eighths. In his special message to the Congress, Harding said that he looked with favor the idea of the appointment of an inter-racial commission to study racial

conditions in the United States. iam Monroe Trotter's there was no need for haste in announcing his view on a question which he could not have been studied properly in eliminating segregation in the short time since he, in June, 1921, announced his intention to do, owing to this may and pressing official duties, and it seems that the President has taken advantage of an opportunity and thrust his views upon the public ear, for the purpose of creating a sentiment in favor of his ideas on the subject, which were evidently obtained from individuals and books favorable to the South but inimical to the real interests of the colored people.
Seen after the Press
The President erroneously confounds "social equality" with amalgamation. He says that amalgamation cannot be, but it exists. It has always combined efforts of the law and public opinion have failed to prevent the mixing of the races. Throughout the ages there has been so much racial diversity that today the scientists and ethnologists recognize such thing as a pure race. In no other country on the globe has there been more racial mixing than in the United States which is the melting of the people of the majority of the people of the United States mixtures of various races and the greater part of this majority is composed of people with more or less Negro blood. The racial mixing in the south is almost wholly illegitimate at the most marriage between the races a crime.
Now as to social equality, that exists in some part of the United States and it is only in those parts of the country which have more or less people have any rights which the white people respect. The very words, "social equality" imply that all rights are secure. In the South there is neither equality nor respect for rights. The consent for the colored man is large, but the status, which extends through all human relationships in that benighted section of the country. Even at the speech of the President the colored people were segregated and the disenfranchised were a silence which was absolute and stony, only one light flutter of applause came when the President said, "The Negro should be encouraged to be the best possible Negro in the most hostile institution of the white men." This seemed to please a few of the whites who evidently visioned a "good Negro" of slavery days, who hat in hand bowed low when "ole massa" approached. The South has a queer idea of social equality. In the North "social equality" is the idea of social mate socializing in private house parties, dances, tea teas, etc. In the South the idea is distorted that it includes civic rights, hence the jimcrow car, the jimcrow school, the jimcrow museum, the jimcrow park, the jimcrow telephone booth and so on ad nauseam.
When Harding was a candidate for President, the APPEAL doubled the number of colored people a square deal and allowed a support him but we were reassured by letters signed by Chairman Haya and Secretary Miller and many lead candidates in the crow campaign bureau that he would be just to his allies. Also Editor Will
Adams was absolutely fearless in his denunciation of those he believed to be wrong or whose policies were inimical to the 'good of' all Americans.
Mr. Adams was an honorary member of the Sterling Club. a member
liam Monroe Trotter said that he had had a personal interview with the President and he had promised to aid in eliminating segregation. Then came a speech to a number of colored delegations from the Harding front of the White House, the "American" men, and ended with, "Colored men, America will not fail you." These assurances caused THE APEAL to give candidate Harding enthusiastic support. Our support, probably, had little to do with the superior is mentioned to show that this super was not prejudiced against him. Soon after the President assumed his duties it was noticed that he seemed to forget his promises. Segregation in the departments at Washington was continued, three or four jimcrow colored men were appointed to supervise the actions. Colored youth were segregated in the army training camps and colored men were not allowed to enlist in the navy. In every way the harding administration has stood for the segregation of colored citizens and it seems that some jimcrow men accept this jimcrow settlement of matters.
THE APPEAL does not believe, as Mr. Harding puts it, that there is a "fundamental, eternal and unescape difference between the race to Victory and the chance of Christianity. It is a distinct departure from the ideals of the founders of the Republic who declared that the Constitution was dowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
After his argument in favor of a distinct place for the black and colored people, Mr. Harding tells us that one thing we must most seductively group and class organizations in this country". He argued against the very thing which he has as many differences between the individuals of any one race as are their between the people of different races, in the idea of race differentiation in any form in the law, in the functions of the government; and in public association is contrary to a just concept of a democracy in which all men are presumed to be equal, and is repugnable to the highest ideals of the Christian faith. He has made of one blood all nations of men. If Mr. Harding is right, God is wrong.
If Mr. Harding had had the time to study the question and he had studied it with an open mind he would have found that in France, Spain and Portugal, there have never been any other country where the skin and the same is true of South and Central America. In these countries, unharmed by class and color distinctions colored men have risen to the highest places in every branch of human endeavor. There are more educated Negroes in Brazil than in the United States. In the mixed-blood population of black, Indian and white, and the pure whites, the population totals over 30,000,000 who live together in perfect harmony, without any public differentiation of race. There are no social barriers between black and white, and plate refutation of the idea that there must be social harbors between the men

ant Editor, Reflecting
er of Public Opinion
and women who are citizens of a country.
Color differentiation means the ascendency of one caste and the degradation of the other. Social equality does not necessarily mean amalgamation, but it does mean that individuals to determine. During the coming disarmament parley, the Japanese will be treated with the greatest social consideration. They will be wined and dined and received at every social function, meeting people who in their own way are disarmed and in spite of all the social mingling it is safe to say that not a single marriage will result. In a democracy like ours, all men, whether they are black or white, red, or brown, should interact with human relationships without racial differentizations—simply as AMERICANS.
WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS.
Some members of the Episcopal board of missions favor the raising of a fund of $1,000,000 for the purpose of converting the Jews, "because they are in Judaism and becoming atheistic. This move brought a quick return from many of the rabbis, three of whom we quote: "Attempts to 'convert' the Jew have never been successful," said Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple, Joseph Stolz of the American Jewish refuge the charge that the American Jew is straying from his faith. Rabbi Stolz said that reports that the Episcopal Church might be induced to appropriate large sums for Christianizing the Jew were too ridiculous to discuss. Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Temple Sholom declared that Judaism was not even been and that the American Jew was one of its greatest factors.
In Europe they have had for hundreds of years, a great way of "converting" the Jews by surrounding the ghetto and murdering men, women and children. In Hungary, recently, hundreds of Jews have professed Christianity to save the lives of themselves and families, but all of the certificates of baptism were overprinted in red, "Not good in case of poprons (massacres)." The Jews of the United States will not rush to Christianity because they know that American Christians would rather ride in jim-crow cars and lynch them just as they have their colored brethren.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
The "jimcrow negroes" who are continually repeating "the North is no better than the South" know they are lying when they utter such rot. The oppression of the colored people is the South than in the North. Ninety per cent of the lynching occurs in the South, and ALL of the disfranchisement and jimcrow laws.
A little instance which is illuminating. A colored man was arrested in Chicago last week charged with havoc, murder, and assault club, breaking her skull. A doctor diagnosed his case as dementia prae-
cox and he was committed to the psychopathic hospital for treatment. What would have happened in Georgia? Well this is what did happen in Georgia last summer even when no white woman was involved. A collar was put on a white man and in turn was put on a white man. He was taken to a hospital where he died shortly after. About midnight the white mob went to the hospital to get the wounded colored man and lynch him. Exasperated at finding that he was dead, the mob broke into the dead room, got the corpse, carved out the outskirts of the city and burned the city of charred remains were then returned to capital. This happened in the city of Augusta, Ga., in the Year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-one.
THE "MENACE" OF BUDDHISM
A woman who has been a Christian missionary in Japan for 18 years called the attention to the Disciples of Christ, at a recent general confer-ment, the growing "menace" of Buddhism, and asked that Buddhist priests and teachers be increasing numbers and are urging the Japanese in the U. S. to have nothing to do with the Christian religion on the ground that its followers call them inferior and oppress them. She is also gaining among Anglo-Saxon and many colored people were being converted. It is not strange that the religion of the gentle Gautama Buddha should appeal to the colored people, because it not only teaches the equalities of men and women, but teachings. Orthodox Christianity in the U. S. teaches inequality of race and oppresses, disfranchises, lynches and burns colored Christians at the stake. It is aided in "keeping the nigger in his place" by the Klu Kux and is burdening the Jews and Catholics, knelt before the "Planning Cross" and swear to uphold "white supremacy."
NAUSEATING.
It is manseating to read the rot given by R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, as he travels through the South in jimrow cars, stopping his open mouth to make speeches lauding his open mouth only one to suffer it would matter little, but his words are promptly telegraphed all over the country, and every time he opens his mouth, the people of the entire country sink low in response to read. Many of his statements are wholly without foundation in fact.
For instance in a recent lecture before the students of the University of North Carolina, the wires say he the Negro race has advanced further than the white people colored people anywhere on the globe because it has had the privilege of coming in contact with the white people of the South. Could any one have a smaller amount of truth and a greater amount of experience be compressed into one sentence?
The census of Brazil shows that there are about 22,000,000 people with more or less Negro blood in that country, or nearly twice as many as there are in the United States, according to census figures. And the census of Brazil, although they were once slave-born, not emancipated until 1888, a quarter-a century after Lincoln's proclamation, have advanced further than the colored people in this country because they have reached the point where color does not count. They are absolutely free from any civil or social discriminations. The color line does not exist in Brazil, and the blackest Brazilian is in every way the peer of the whitest of his countrymen.
Principal Moton deems it a wonderful thing that his race "has had the privilege of coming into contact with the white people of the South." Here are some of the benefits of the concession of slavery; enactment of the infamous Black Codes to retain slavery in fact, after its abolition; segregation; denial of living wages; denial of equal school facilities; disfranchisement; mercury cars; eterna. Why even then did the United States nishenis Principal Moton his bread and butter is the gift of the North Northern people have given 95 percent of the endowment fund, and the greater portion of the running expenses of the North. The state of Alabama gives the measly sum of about $3,000.
Here is another gem from Principal Moton: "To the Southern white people we owe our language and our culture, we have learned and all that we have in civilization." Think of a man who would say such things being the head of an institution which trains the youth. Is it strange that many of them have come out imbued with distorted ideas of their proper place in the world?
Then Principal Moton came out in his persecution in which he said that "no Southern colored man wanted social equality." In that statement he showed his ignorance of the English language? He probably meant to say that the colored people were not seeking matrimonial alliances with white people. Principal Moton argued that equality, but there are millions of colored people who do desire it. Social equality means, "equality in the collective body composing a community, especially when considered as subjects of civil government." Here are some of the definitions of "equal": of the same degrees with another or each uniform in condition or action; of the same degree of equitable just, impartial extent; the same importance and concern not distinguished by any ground or preferente.
Social equality means the right to vote, the right to equal and identical accommodations on common carriers, the right to service in public places of refreshment, the right to residence anywhere one is able to buy or rent a home, the right to attend the nearest public school, the right to a legal trial when charged with crime in a republic charged with crime, and every other carrier with it. Principal Moton's dear friends of the South have denied all of these rights to the colored people, every effort for advancement has been made away or another, even if conducted on the South's behalf purpose of the South always has been and is now, to segregate the colored people from other citizens and make them a pariah class, despired by all and subject to the whims and capricious of Carolina, where Principal Moton made his speech, colored people are treat-
ed as a group apart from the white citizenship and subject to different treatment. They have suffered from all of the inequalities of citizenship. They were also subjected to cause of segregation, but in spite of it. If the Southern white people had not placed hindrances, including murder, in their path, they would have ever this reached the plane which they were subjected to the colored people of Brazil.
Some of Principal Moton's activities in the past should not be forgotten. Shortly after he succeeded B. Washington as the head of Tuskegee Pullman sleeper because she was colored. According to the associated press Moton made no attempt to defend her, but stated that he had advised her not to attempt to ride in human. Just after the armistice in World War II, the Pullman was sent to France as the special representative of President Wilson, the arch enemy of the colored race. The Crisis and other periodicals and many colored soldiers asserted that the Pullman was obliging to correct the outrageous treatment to which the colored troops were subjected, he rushed around, made a few speeches telling the colored soldiers to be "good" and then took the first boat for the U. S. "in attending a conference at Tuskegee."
For a colored man to laud the brutal South, which has heaped unspeakable wrongs upon his people for hundreds of years, is a disgusting exhibition of servility. Imagine if you could have a military of furious murders by the British soldiery; conceive if you can, a Jew condoning the pogroms in Russia, Poland and the Balkan lauding; think of an East Indian lauding the English who blew many of his countrymen from the mouths of cannon. If you can visualize the English, you can get a true picture of what it means for a colored man to laud the South.
JIM CROW LEADERS
We had in a recent issue a symposium of views of colored editors in various parts of the country on the speeches of President Harding in Birmingham, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga. The book *The Power of the Editor* is an editorial from the Richmond (VA) Planet. by that fearless journalist, John Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the desire of President Harding to have more "negro" leaders developed, The Planet says: "THE PATH IS FULL OF THIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS PART IN DEVELOPING THIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LATER YEARS HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP. WITHOUT WHICH NO CAIRE RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. This is a strong statement yet it is absolutely true. No single thing in the history of the colored people in the United States has done so much to prevent the full attainment of citizenship as that speech of booker Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ga., in 1895.
Since then the descent to hell has been swift and sure and the departs were sounded when the other day, Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, stood by the side of the Grady School, a institution, produced a eulogy on Henry W. Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and insidious enemy of the colored people that the country has produced, declared that the race question must be settled by the segregation of American citizens. By the enthusiastic reception by the South of the B. W. Washington speech and the white man's "good negro" pat on the shoulder, the cimjewer leaders' tribe has increased so enormously that it is now a menace to be reckoned with in every community in which there are a hundred men. Before he died Booker Washington repented in bitterness what he had done and longed for life to wash out his unwise course but it was too late. Although it may be news to many, it is a fact that after his death an article, written by him, was printed in the newspaper, in which he repudiated segregation which he had so long championed.
No greater calamity could befalf the colored people than the harvesting of a new crop of "jimcrow negro leaders"
MOTON'S LOST OPPORTUNITY
Motor had the great opportunity of his life to strike a blow for freedom when he was on the platform as the alleged representative of the colored people. Had he been a brave and fearless leader, when he learned of the segregation of the colored people at the exercises he would have turned to President Harding and said: "Mr. President of the United States, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Before making my set address, I must make a protest against the segregation and humiliation of the colored people at these exercises dedicating a monument to the memory of the Great Emancipator, and as a representative of one-eighth of the people of the United States I say that unless the barriers are torn down and every vestige of discrimination removed my prepared address will remain unspoken and the only words I shall utter will be the words I have just voiced. Let that go into the records as my speech."
Such a statement would have created a sensation. It would have brought home to the conscience the incense in the offices of affairs the nation has drifted. It would have made Moton a real leader and his words would have gone thunderning down the ages. Moton had not the courage to say it.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
President Harding and Secretary Hughes "have been moved" by complaints from Americans in the near future, have demanded equal opportunities and Mesopotamia. It seems that those who kick get at least some of the things they complain about. And the President would sit up and take care of the people who kick hard enough and in unison. While the administration is quick to come to the aid of "Americans abroad," it does not hesitate to curse America as it goes home. Colored Americans have been unmerciful every way right here in America. The President's speeches in Alabama and Georgia were curses upon Americans and double curses because "the leaders" attempted to condone them.

INTER-MARRIAGE IS SOLUTION OF RACE PROBLEM
THIS IS SUBSTANCE OF AN AD
DRESS BY DR OLIVEIRA LI-
MA AT WILLIAMS COLLEGE
BRAZIL WORKS IT OUT
Black, Red and White Mix and All are Happy.
Williamstown, Mass.—Speaking before the Institute of Politics at Williams College, Dr. Manuel de Oliveira Lima, of Brazil, said that intermarriage between the colored and white races is frequent in his country and that as a result there are "no discontented races to be found in Brazil, as you certainly have in this country."
"There exists prejudice, especially among distinguished families against miscegenation," he said, but this is freely practiced among the people in general, with the result there is no race question in Brazil, conflicts or even controversies over the matter being so to say, unknown, but that Negroes are rapidly disappearing into the white race.
"A source of antipathy is consequently set aside, which would correspond to an irritation feature of the social question and no discontented races are to be found in Brazil, as you certainly have in this country. This condition represents an advantage for national life and is one of the reasons for the hegemony that Brazil suggests, although things are not perfect and serious reason exists for claiming that Americus Vespucius was accurate when he located down there the earthly paradise."
"Since pure races" are, according to ethnologists, a historical error—and consequently Godineau, the apologist of the white race (or more accurately of the Teutonic race), may be taken as a philosopher given to whimsical speculation—we have to admit that the Hispanic-American, precisely the Brazilian solution of the colonial problem of colored race at least, is, certainly wiser, more promising and above all more humane than any solution which operates through separation or segregation.

U. S. EXPLAINS $108 WARDROBE
This Sum Will Provide for Evening Gowns and Business Frocks, Says Bureau.
Series of Pamphlets issued by Department of Agriculture Calculated to Reduce High Cost of Clothing.
Washington.-Uncle Sam, besides occupying himself with strikes, law enforcement and international agreements, has interested himself in woman's clothes.
How to have a wardrobe for $108 that includes dinner and evening gowns, a smart business dress, frocks of volle and tissue, gingham for summer wear and a broadcloth coat for winter winds, is explained in a series of pamphlets issued by the Department of Agriculture, as an aid in reducing the high cost of clothing. One of these pamphlets declares that the business girl with a reasonable amount of zeal and talent, can use part of her spare time to such effect that her clothing bill is cut in half.
First she must send to the Department of Agriculture for the circulars issued by the department. One of these pamphlets explains how to make a dress form by pasting layers of gummed bundle wrapping paper over a tightly fitting vest on herself, as a model. When the paper casing is cut off and fastened together she has a "light, stiff and perfect reproduction of her form." This eliminated the purchase of a store figure.
**Employee Used Form.**
The girl with the $108 wardrobe, a government employee, used such a form.
She made for $24.61 a coat of tan broadcloth with a good lining, such as she saw priced at $50 in shops. A blue volle dress with a slip, cost, including trimming, $11.09. A tissue gingham dress, with organdle and hem-stitching for trimming, cost $6.38; with scraps and a remnant she made another gingham dress for exactly 45 cents.
For $16 she bought materials to make a pusy willow taffeta and georgette crepe dress for social occasions, which she said, she could not duplicate at a store for less than $35. Her business dress of serge and crepe de chine would have been priced at $40 or more if she had purchased a dress of the same quality of material already made. Her evening dress of taffeta and silver lace cost $21, although it was modeled after one seen in a shop priced several times higher.
Attended Many Affairs.
This wardrobe, supplemented by two dresses for which materials were purchased, brought the total up to $108.34.
"This wardrobe, while not elaborate, enabled me to attend many affairs which, had I not sewed myself, I would have been unable to attend because of lack of a proper gown. Without the dress form I could not have done it in the time at my disposal. I made ten such forms for my friends, too."
PLATYPUS COMING TO AMERICA
Singular Mammal That Lays Eggs, on Way to Philadelphia Zoo From Australia.
Philadelphia.—The zoological gardens in Fairmount park are being prepared for the accommodation of a number of new guests, now on their way here from Australia. The most unusual of the shipment is a platypus, an egg-laying mammal.
The platypus will be the only one of its kind in this country, it is said. This species dies quickly in captivity and is related to the echidna, also an egg-laying mammal. However, the local gardens have exhibited one specimen of the echidna for eighteen years. This shipment is being sent by Ellis C. Joseph, Australian zoologist.
MAN, PLOWING, KILLS BEAR
Mississippi Rancher Has Chance Encounter With Vagrant From Canebrakes.
Coldwater, Miss.—A bear weighing 250 pounds was killed by Dock Lee, a farmer, living near Arkabutla in the western part of this county. Mr. Lee was plowing in his field about a mile from town when his dog encountered the bear in a thicket nearby.
Great excitement resulted in the neighborhood, as it was the first bear ever seen out of the canebrakes, the nearest of which is three miles away.
This bear is supposed to have been in the vicinity of Arkabutla for some time, as his tracks had been discovered on several occasions by citizens of the community.
Tampa, Fla.—In order to throw prohibition agents off the trail to moonshine stills, a Florida moonshiner has invented a shoe that leaves an imprint similar to that of the hoof of a cow, A. L. Allen, federal prohibition commissioner for Florida, announced recently. One of the hoof-shoes was found at a still captured near Port Tampa, Allen said, and it will be forwarded to Commissioner Blair at Washburn.
"Yes, dear—but have they more in the Bank than we?"
Don't envy neighbors who seem prosperous. Looks are deceiving. Money in the bank is the only worth while evidence of true prosperity.
Living beyond one's means is a constant temptation these days. Strong is he who resists—and saves. Do you?
