HOSPITAL BARS COLORED DOCTORS VOL.39 NO.16 HOSP VILLARD URGES SOLIDARITY IN FIGHT FOR RIGHTS Speaker Wishes for Strain of Jewish Blood—Sticking Together—in Race SAYS N.A.A.C.P. IS SURE WAY Holds Uncompromising Platform Better than Cringing or Violence "I ask you to take the attitude of the National Association in this fight for your rights. The colored people must stand up like men and demand their rights on the basis of constitutional guarantees. There is no other way. Cringing and begging will not do; arms and violence are out of the question, but a steadfast, uncompromising stand upon constitutional guarantees is a position from which all challenges can be met." With this plea as his main theme, Oswald Garrison Villard, vice president of the N. A. A. C. P. and editor of The Nation held the rapt attention of an audience of Twin City folk that packed St. Peter church last Sunday afternoon. After being introduced by Charles Sumner Smith, editor of the Minnesota Messenger, Mr. Villard plunged directly into the work of the National Association. Lack Solidarity. In explaining the membership of the association the speaker said that the bulk was colored, as it should be, because the colored people have the greatest stake, and added: "The membership should be 400, 000; every colored person who has the small fee should be a member. I sometimes wish that colored people had a strain of Jewish blood—the quality of uniting to form a really formidable body to fight for their rights. Among colored people there are great church and fraternal organizations, but on the question of common welfare there is no solidarity. "Not only must there be union, but there must be alertness. The forces of the enemy, the agents of discrimination and oppression, work while you sleep. A live, vigilant organization such as the National Association should be supported so that it can be ever on the watch." Mr. Villard cited the recently won Harvard case as an instance of vigilance. He told of how a few men resolved that discrimination should not hold sway at Harvard and fought until their object was attained. Problem Economic. The economic aspect of the race problem was stressed by the speaker, who pointed out that the exodus of colored workers from the South had demonstrated that the problem was primarily an economic one and secondarily a matter of prejudice and passion. "The colored man must realize sooner or later that his interests are the same as the white workingman," the speaker said. "At bottom the question is an economic one, and the colored people would do well to tie up with the cause of the white laborer." A remark from the speaker that colored voters "ought to be through with the Republican party by now" drew prolonged and enthusiastic applause from the crowd. No Violence. The address was closed with a plea for a firm uncompromising stand in the demand for rights. "No good can come of the use of violence," the speaker warned, "even in the defense of your persons. Put faith in the weapons of the spirit. The doctrine of an eye for an eye is outworn. Those who use the sword shall perish by the sword. In this fight let us like William Lloyd Garrison, 'stand on the principle of liberty and leave the working out of details to God.'" German Woman Lawyer. Munich—Dr. Maria Otte, a native of Wuerzburg, recently appeared in the Munich courts as the first woman lawyer ever to practice in Germany. Miss Otto received the training for her role as the fatherland's first Portia in schools at Wuerzburg, Leipzig, Berlin and Munich. She has been employed by a well-known law firm here for the last four years. Great-Grandmother at Forty-Seven. Los Angeles, Cal.-Mrs. Vina Cunningham is a great-grandmother at forty-seven; her daughter, Mrs. Jessie Myers, a grandmother at thirty-one, and Mrs. Myers' daughter, Mrs. Bertha Blanche Hauschild, a mother at fifteen, according to the Los Angeles Examiner, which had instituted a search for "the youngest grandmother." O. C. HALL. O. C. Hall, trustee of St. James A. M. E. church, Jay and Fuller streets, was elected a lay delegate to the general conference of the A. M. E. church from the laymen's electoral college which met in Des Moines, Iowa, last week. I. N. Brown of Marshalltown, Iowa, was the other delegate elected from this Northwestern conference. The general conference will be held in Louisville, Ky., in May, 1924. LOUISIANA WOMEN JOIN GOOD WILL MOVEMENT Will Work Through State Relations Committee on Race Problems New Orleans, La., April 20 (Special)—An important step in the Southern movement for better race relations was taken in New Orleans March 21-23, when more than forty of Louisiana's prominent women-leaders in religious and civic organizations-faced for study the situation, formed a vigorous statement in behalf of good will and justice between the races, and accepted membership in the Louisiana Race Relations committee. Declaring their belief that Christian principles offer the only solution of race problems, and that the South is today the "crucial testing ground" of these principles, they pledged their support to the effort to secure for colored people as well as for whites the protection of law and "the privileges and conditions to which they are entitled as citizens, such as sanitation, lighting and grading of streets, better housing conditions," and other civic advantages. One of the strongest paragraphs in the paper is that relative to lynching, which is as follows: "We register herewith our protest against the barbaric custom of lynching, which arouses violent and un-Christian passions, brings law into disrepute, is inhuman and brutal, and unknown outside of our own land of America. We hold that no circumstances can ever justify such violent disregard for law and that in no instance is it an exhibition of chivalric consideration and honor of womanhood." TO ALL EX-SERVICE MEN Director C. R. Forbes of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, has issued the following announcement: "It is the desire of the government that all ex-service men who are entitled to the benefits of the soldier relief legislation shall receive such benefits to the full extent of the law. The establishment of 140 local offices of the Veterans' Bureau throughout the country facilitates the handling of veterans' claims and also places the administration of soldiers' aid within close proximity of all beneficiaries, claimants and prospective claimants. It is with the hope that this statement will reach those not informed of the benefits to which they are entitled this announcement is made." The claims division adjudicates all claims for disability compensation and death compensation, as to the claimant who was the service and his dependents, all claim filed for the benefits of term, converted, and auctioned insurance; claims for funeral expenses of those persons who died while in the active service, as well as funeral expenses of service-men who were hospitalized by order of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau; and claim of administrators of the estates of deceased beneficiaries of the bureau. Medical examinations, hospitalization, nursing, dental treatment, surgical and convalescent care and treatment; prosthetic appliances and necessary and reasonable attire; all members of the military and naval Warriors who were disabled by reason of any wound or injury received or by reason of agravation of a pre-existing injury, specifically noted at the time of entrance in the service, is provided by the Veterans' Bureau. In cases of emergency the claimants should apply to the nearest local office of the Veterans' Bureau, emergency treatment is understood to mean medical, surgical, dental, or mental emergency, and is not intended to cover such conditions as can be taken care of in the regular routine THE APPEAL. FATHER OF DYER BILL TO SPEAK FOR IT ON TOUR FATHER OF DYER BILL TO SPEAK FOR IT ON TOUR Representative L. C. Dyer Will Begin Tour of Country May 1 TO REINTRODUCE MEASURE Purposes to Personally Acquaint People With Horrors of Lynching Reprtsentative Dyer will speak in St. Paul Tuesday, May 29, according to Dr. V. D. Turner, chairman of the St. Paul branch of the N. A. A. C. P. New York, April 20.—Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the anti-lynching bill bearing his name in congress, will tour the Middle West and the Pacific coast states, beginning May 1, to arouse public sentiment in behalf of the bill which he intends to introduce in the next congress, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, which is sponsoring the tour. Begins in Kansas City. Representative Dyer will begin his speaking tour in Kansas City, proceeding via Omaha, Denver, Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City to California, and returning through the states of Oregon and Washington by a northern route to Chicago. Mr. Dyer's anti-lynching bill was passed by a vote of 230 to 119 in the House of representatives and was favorably reported by the committee on the judiciary of the Senate. A filibuster conducted by Southern Democratic senators led to its abandonment by the Republican maojury. In announcing his tour Representative Dyer said: "I am going before the country on the issue of lynching, a national shame which for thirty-five years the states have failed to end and the federal government has failed to attack." Bill Not Sectional. "The anti-lynching bill which I introduced in congress and which was passed by a vote of almost 2 to 1 in the House of representatives, was stopped in the Senate by the filibuster of senators from those states in which most lynchings occur. "The federal anti-lynching bill is not sectional. It applies to every part of the country. It assumes that an atrocity in America is a national disgrace whether it occurs in Georgia, or Texas, or Oregon, or Illinois. "I shall re-introduce this measure in the next congress. It will be re-introduced in the Senate. While I shall acquaint as many American citizens as possible with the horrors of lynching in America, and with the provisions of the bill designed to end those horrors. "We shall then see if a small minority of men from any group of states can block an expression of the will of the people of this nation." 54.000.000 Rubles for $1 Is Exchange Rate Washington.—Russia, now that fear of famine has been allayed in large sections of the country, is developing a hunger for American currency, American relief administration officials report. As a result of early operations by unscrupulous purveyors who released considerable quantities of Confederate currency left over from American Civil war days, the simple peasant, they say, is now wise enough to demand greenbacks with the pictures of Washington and Lincoln upon them. Spch bills until recently commanded a premium of 20 per cent own other forms of American currency. At present the curb exchange markets in Moscow rate the American dollar as about 54,000,000 soviet rubles. Americans watching the trickle of United States currency into Russia estimate that it amounts to about $1,000,000 a month. Radio Locates Missins Omaha, Neb.-Radio turned the trick of locating two missing school boys in less than an hour. D. E. Gulhane, father of Chester Gulhane, seventeen, who, with his chum, Paul Schutze, fourteen, disappeared, had the description of the two boys broadcast from the grain exchange radio station. In less than an hour the father got a telephone call from the Omaha radio fan who had received the description, stating that boys answering the description were seen that day on a downtown street corner selling papers. The father hastened to the spot and found his son. EXTRA James H. Loomis, 402 St. Anthony avenue, pioneer resident of St. Paul, dropped dead on a street car yesterday morning on his way to work. Mr. Loomis had been in business here as a barber for more than thirty years and had just moved into a new shop in the Court Block. Mrs. Bernice Davis, 464 Arundel street, died Thursday night at the City hospital. She was the sister of Walter H. Chesnut, late editor of the Northwestern Bulletin, who died April 6. Japanese Demand Equality of Races (Crusader Service.) Tokio, April 20. A movement demanding equality of races in international relations has been launched here. The leaders are denouncing Japan's government for its "weak foreign policy" toward America and other foreign countries, and declaring Japan should demand international equality rights in the name of justice. The new society is expected to publish a manifesto, conduct a world-wide campaign for equality. It proposes to establish contact with all darker people's organizations throughout the world and has already entered into communication with the African Blood Brotherhood and others. T. ARNOLD HILL HERE FOR URBAN SURVEY Chicago Urban League Secretary Confers with Local Organizations T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban league and head of the Western work of the National Urban league spent Wednesday and Thursday in the city in conference with several local organizations regarding the possibility of establishing a branch of the Urban league in St. Paul. Mr. Hill came at the invitation of the St. Paul branch of the N. A. A. C. P. While in the city Mr. Hill conferred with the Community Chest, the St. Paul Association and a conference composed of delegates from colored organizations. No definite plans were announced by Mr. Hill before he left for Chicago Thursday night. Scotch Couples Dance 21 Hours. 16 Minutes London.—Endurance records in dancing are being shattered so frequently in the hot contest for world supremacy between England and Scotland that it is difficult to keep track of the figures. When Santos Casani, a former aviator, stopped his continuous performance at Hammersmith with a record of 18 hours 24 minutes he was happy in the belief that he had established new figures for continuous dancing. His efforts were vain, for when he finished two couples in Edinburgh were putting the last touchs on a much higher record of 21 hours, 16 minutes. They were Miss Mary Cunnelly and Joseph Young, and Miss Lena Hansen and Hugh MacKay. Casani's record was most remarkable from the fact that he was gravely wounded in the war, a section of his collarbone having been carried away, while shrapnel fragments still remained in his legs. Casani carried a pedometer which registered 68 miles, 1,140 yards when he was forced to quit by sore feet. He concluded with an exhibition fox trot and a one-minute spin. Berlin—German women, recently accorded the right to sit on juries in criminal cases, have shown an inclination to impose even more severe punishment than men, particularly where the defendants are women. "I always feel sorry for a woman defendant," said a Berlin judge, commenting on woman's entry into the jury box, "when a majority of the jury is composed of the fairer sex. My experience so far has been that the women have less mercy than men, and hold out for verdicts accordingly. Ever since Germany became a republic and women gained the right to the ballot, the question of permitting them to sit on juries has been brought up for discussion from time to time, there being many opponents to the advancements of women's rights among the public generally and especially in the legal profession. It was contended that women were too tender-hearted to listen to sordid details of criminal cases. WINS FIRST 1923 GAME Samuel Stephens pitched Hamline University to its first win of the season Wednesday when the Pipers beat the University of Minnesota, 9 to 5 on Northrop field. Stephens pitched Mechanic Arts high school to two championships in 1920 and 1921. Courtesy the St. Paul Daily News Wealthy Elder Tied to Tree and Whipped in Own Back Yard HOMES BURNED,SAYS LETTER Pastors Whipped for Teaching Flocks to Get Education, Writer Says New York, April 20.—A letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, quotes the Rev. O. H. Edenburgh, a survivor of the recent burnings and mob outbreaks in Florida as saying that a number of towns were burned and that the burning lasted for a day and a half, educated colored people being the heaviest sufferers from the mob. Rev. Edenburgh is quoted in part as follows: "Stanley Town, a town of more than one thousand colored inhabitants with only one white man who lived with a colored wife, was totally destroyed with the exception of the postoffice. Colored people own stores, banks and everything here. Preachers Whipped. "In these towns, he said every preacher was whipped, being accused of influencing his people along lines different from what the white people thought wasn't best for colored people to aspire and know—instilling them with new ideas along educational lines and educational conditions and unity—saying that they were growing haughty and rebellious. "In one town they whipped the presiding elder, Will Burton, by tying his hands and tying him to a tree, three men whipping him with a black snake whip until the whip gave out. Elder Burton was rushed to a hospital in Atlanta where he was at the time this Mr. Edenburgh (was). The white people were running the colored people out of this place, and Elder Burton asked the governor for a state militia for a protection of the colored people. So they heard of it and came to his house and answered that he had not returned home. They made several similar visits before he came, telling his wife their intention and assuring her they were not going to bother her nor anything she possessed, but only wanted Burton. Worth $55,000. "Elder Burton was said to be worth more than $55,000 and had been married to this young wife about a year, and had just bought her one of the most beautiful homes from some white man in the city—paying cash for it; and a few weeks prior to this time had presented his wife with a beautiful thousand dollar car paying cash for it; but they did not bother anything but Elder Will Burton, who survived enough to be taken to Atlanta after a black snake whip was used up on his back." St. Paul Baptist Church All who heard the program last Sunday afternoon were so enthusiastic that there developed a demand for the continuance of the afternoon meetings. Arrangements have been made for the public discussion of vital questions each Sunday afternoon at 3:15. The program drew many hearty congratulations from the members present who left feeling the spirit of the poet who said: "Spring delights are now returning, "Spring delights are now returning, Blooming flowers fill the vale, And beneath the leafy bowers Plaintive sings the nightingale." Roy Wilkins, managing editor of The Appeal will be the speaker Sunday, April 22. There will be special music. The Sunday school was largely attended last Sunday morning. Dentist Will Appeal Suit Against Theater (K. N. F. Service.) New York, April 19—Dr. Henry B. Delaney, dentist, 2301 Seventh avenue, lost his suit against the Alhambra theater (Keith) for $500 for refusing to sell him a seat for the show last February 4. The case was tried before Justice Prince, in the seventh district court Friday. It was brought out in the testimony that on the night of the performance, Dr. Delaney had attempted to purchase two tickets at 8:20 P. M. and witnesses for the theater testified that the house was sold out. The court ruled that in view of the lateness in which the doctor had endeavored to acquire tickets the benefit of doubt should be given to the theater. A notice of appeal has been filed. WELFARE WORK NEED, CONFERENCE FINDS Adopts Resolution Calling for Permanent Welfare Body Here Forty delegates from various organizations in the city met at Union hall Wednesday. April 18, and unanimously adopted a resolution placing the formation of plans for a permanent welfare organization in the hands of a committee. The meeting was called by O. Howell, president of the business league, who presided. Every organization represented was of the opinion that the social conditions which exist now and those which will come as a result of an influx of newcomers from the South require a single welfare agency with trained workers. Opinion was openly expressed that the Urban league should be invited to establish a branch here. T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban league spoke briefly of the nature of the work carried on by the organization, and outlined the conditions under which the league would establish a branch in St. Paul. "There must first be a unity of opinion on the need for such a branch," said Mr. Hill. The colored community must be willing to lend full co-operation to the social service with unified backing and a sinking of local differences in favor of the social good of the whole, financial backing should not be hard to secure." F. D. McCracken, Mrs. Birdie High, Dr. V. D. Turner, Mr. Towles of Duluth, and O. C. Hall made brief remarks. The following resolution proposed by W. T. Francis was unanimously adopted: "Whereas, this conference representing the many organizations looking to the welfare of the colored people of St. Paul, recognizes the urgent need of a single organization to do welfare work among the people of St. Paul, and recognizes that the Urban league has done a wonderful work in 40 communities; "Therefore, be it resolved that a committee be appointed to consider the advisability of a permanent organization, to report at another meeting the call of the chairman; "Be it further resolved, that this committee co-operate with Mr. T. Arnold Hill of the Chicago Urban league." The committee appointed by Mr. Howell was announced Thursday as follows: F. D. McCracken, chairman; W. T. Francis, attorney; Samuel Ransom. for fraternal organizations; S. Ed. Hall, for welfare organizations; John Q. Adams, Jr., for the press; Mrs. Cora B. Grissom, city federation; Mrs. Mae Black Mason, state federation; O. Howell, ex-officio. $2.00 PER YEAR TORS WHITESTAFFFOR NEWBUILDINGAT TUSKEGEE, PLAN Only Laborers, Orderlies, Aides and Staff Nurses to be Colored HARDING FAVORS COLORED Commander of American Legion and Alabama Governor Want Whites (In the Norfolk Journal and Guide.) Washington, D. C., April.—A definite plan for the exclusion of colored people from the medical staff of the United States Veterans' Bureau at Tuskegee, Ala., has been formulated. There is already a white superintendent in charge. He is Colonel R. H. Stanley, a native Aalabaman, who was transferred from the United States hospital at San Diego, Cal. Since his appointment he has let it become known that the personnel of his medical staff will be entirely white. This is in agreement with the original plan. However, to appease the indignation of colored persons who were interested, plans for an entire white force were modified by the hiring of colored laborers and orderlies, and later amended to include colored nurses. The first intimation of the exclusion of colored people from the medical staff was given in an official communication sent out by the United States Veterans' Bureau, under date of February 3, 1923, in field letter No. 78, in which it was stated that "the medical personnel will be composed of white persons. The chief nurse, chief aides, chief dietitian, and their assistants will be white. The staff nurses, aides, and dietitians will probably be colored. The medical officer selected to take charge of this hospital will be from the Reserve Corps of the Public Health Service of Southern birth, and one who thoroughly understands the Negro." Protests Against Colored Staff. Even this meager recognition of the professional skill and ability of colored men brought vigorous protests from General R. E. Steiner, department commander of the American Legion and Governor W. W. Brandon of Alabama. General Steiner has wired Director Frank T. Hinds of the Veterans' Bureau, and also Edward Clifford, assistant secretary of the treasury, protesting against the placing of colored men on the medical staff. Governor W. W. Brandon sent an official telegram, voicing his protest as governor of Alabama against colored people being put on the medical staff. Because every inmate of this hospital will be colored, General Steiner prefers colored nurses and orderlies. He is opposed to white nurses caring for colored soldiers of the late World War. He and Superintendent Stanley are in accord on this proposition. Some prominent white Alabamans carry their prejudices to a greater extent and would have an entire white staff. To obviate white nurses caring for colored veterans, they would have the government give each nurse a colored maid who would perform the duties incident to the position. The final settlement of the whole matter awaits the return of President Harding to Washington. It is understood that he favors a colored personnel, inasmuch as only colored veterans will be quartered at this hospital. Finest Hospital This hospital is for colored veterans exclusively and is the finest of its kind in the world. It was built by the United States Treasury Department at a cost of $2,250,000, and the rest of the ground given by Tuskegee Institute. 92 permanent buildings, containing about 600 beds, and approximately 302 tubercular patients and 294 neuropsychiatric patients will be cared for. CATHOLICS HAVE MANY COL ORED SCHOOLS. The Catholic church in America is giving increasing attention to colored education. According to a recent statement it has "eight special schools of more than local importance and about one hundred and twenty-five small parochial schools" with total property values of half a million dollars. Plans are under way for the opening of a new school in Maryland—the Cardinal Gibbons Institute. The Catholic church claims a colored membership of 250,000 in the United States. For Missionary Service In responding to calls for service, those who are able to pay are asked to do so at the rate of the salary received by those who extend the calls, for the time required and expense. As my work is entirely unprofessional and unofficial I pay the full rate for traveling and other expenses. A drive for 2,000 members for the St. Louis branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is now in progress.

ABOUT PARTIES By far the most significant reaction from the Villard meeting was the prolonged and enthusiastic applause which greeted the remark that colored voters ought to be through with the Republican party by now. No other statement drew such hearty approval. This goes to prove that colored voters in the Northwest in common with those in Chicago and Harlem are tired of the repeatedly broken promises of the Republicans and particularly of the weak moves of the Harding administration. SPOTLIGHT ON DIXIE "Dixie," the sunny romance-land in song and legend, the habitation of soft-drawling, warm-hearted, hospitable people, the country of cotton, sugarcane and "co'n pone" is fast vanishing from the minds and imagination of the rest of the country. In its stead is rising up a land whose benighted state and eighteenth century civilization seem almost incredible in this enlightened age. Time was when Northerners and Westerners agreed that the South was all right—it practiced certain methods with the colored man, but perhaps it knew best how to handle its own business. Mer Rouge jarred the country and revealed Louisiana, at least, as a Kingdom of Fear, where hooded bands and secret orders rule instead of law and order. And now the whip of a Florida convict boss has laid bare the decayed civilization in that state. Dixie has become a land made hideous by torture, murder, peonage-slavery and ignorance. Its people stand revealed as beings who have allowed passion and prejudice to divert their minds from the business of living and becoming civilized. Watt Daniels, Richards, and Martin Tabert have scattered to the four winds the illusion that Dixie is all roses and sunshine. WE NOMINATE for the Spingarn medal, Professor George W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute, because he has served both black and white farmers through his discoveries of the by-products of the peanut and Alabama soil, and because he has brought honor and distinction to the colored American by becoming an international figure in the world of agricultural science. THE CRIME IN FLORIDA (St. Paul Dispatch.) The martyrdom of Martin Talbert in a leased convict camp of Florida will not have been wholly in vain if it shall result in the complete abolition of a system of peonage stained with all of the horrors of slavery days. Evidences multiply to show, not only the existence of a convict system with every camp boss a Simon Legree, not only a system where the color of law is lent to punishment so ruthless and inhuman that the story goes shuddering over the country, but a situation where corrupt officials league with greedy contractors to coin money out of the extreme of human suffering. Florida stands today debased and degraded in the eyes of civilization and humanity. Through political influence it has retained in its laws, the sanction of a county system of leasing convicts on contract and condoning, if not authorizing, punishment that falls under the ban of the federal constitution as barbarous and unusual. There is palliation in the Florida mind, but in none other, in the fact that most of the convicts subjected to the torture of the lash and bludgeon are colored men. Florida is not wholly out of the shadow of slavery days and the spirit of its laws animates its other activities. It required the intervention of such an incident as the actual murder of Martin Talbert and the indignation command with Dakota to touch Florida to shame. It will not be easy as it might be fancied to purge Florida of this horrid crime. High and petty officials—well as consciencele contractors are in the mess of blood and mire, and the police are in the grip of the system. Together they will fight to gloss over the testimony and perpetuate the opportunities. But the conscience of the state has been touched and its real citizenship is not callous to the estimation in what is often called the "murder men." Investigation is inevitable and the truth will force the abolition of the conditions which put the Dark Ages to the blush. What the North Dakota legislature has recorded as its sentiments, which Florida vanily assumes to reclaim, is in the Union if the Florida legislature falters or falls in the duty facing it. Health Talks By E. S. WEBER, D. D. S. In my previous articles I have made manifest the significance in caring for the teeth and adjacent tissues. In this article I will try to give you some facts concerning the development of good, sound teeth and how to keep them sound. I will begin with the child because to develop the second set of teeth in later years depends, for the most part, on the care given to the temporary teeth and the kind of food the child is given to eat. The temporary teeth begin to come through the gums between the ages of four and eight months. They come successively in size, the last frequently coming as late as three-years of age. Nature then gives to the child a set of teeth free from all-deposits and decay, she also places them in proper alignment for the temporary teeth in children are rarely uneven or out of position, the tooth so far has not been interfered with and has done her work well. It is at this point that the child should be given care and instruction. The child can keep these teeth just as nature has placed them if constant care is taken. Note well said "constant care." The teeth are carefully cared and cared for just the same as one should take care of his body. Of course care alone will not render the teeth immune from caries (decay of the teeth) and subsequent loss of the teeth entirely. Diet has a great deal to do with the grade of the enamel and the presence of elements in foods that are necessary to make the teeth hard, strong, and tenacious. I cannot leave out exercise for it is just as necessary to exercise the teeth as it is to exercise any other part of the human anatomy. The body, that are not properly exercised become weak, frail, useless, and susceptible to most any disease producing germ. You might ask, how can one exercise the teeth? The answer is very simple. Eat foods that are nutritious. Eat foods that are long and long. As the force of chewing strengthens the jaws and makes them grow, it also lowers the palate, for as the two bases of an arch are spread it must lower the crown of the arch. As the heel of the jaw is spread likewise must draw in and out, outwardly of the jaw, this prevents protruding or overlapping front teeth. Poor and irregular teeth are not the only evil of undeveloped jaws. The muscles of mastication, including the tongue need development. The salivary glands also are made to develop by chewing. Then there are the teeth, the lymphatic and the nerves of the mouth, jaws, and teeth. All must be developed completely if the permanent teeth are to be made safe for long, hard usage of a lifetime. Lack of development of all these factors favors early disease of the teeth and is accountable for many ailments in the teeth that are reasonably straight. An ever high and narrow in infants. They are produced by bad feeding habits. Such high palates push up the bony structures of the nose and help to occlude the nostrils. Faulty nostrils favor the growth of adenoids and may be a factor in enlarged tonsils. Such occluded nostrils certainly are susceptible to inflammation, inflame the throat, the nasal sinuses and the middle ear, which causes much deafness. Savage races generally have good teeth. Civilized races as a rule have poor teeth. The babies of savage races are breast fed while the babies of civilized races are too often bottle of civilized races have continued long after the teeth have been way through the gums. After the children of savage races have been weaned they eat natural foods, the same as do the adults, and it may be said the same is true of the young of the mammalian creatures after weaning. After weaning the children of savage races eat foods that are largely artificial and frequently or less denatured. Such foods as fruits, grains, nuts, roots and all vegetables are natural foods. It can readily be seen that such foods must be chewed before swallowing them. On the other hand, milk, butter, cheese, sugar and its combination in pies, candies, puddings, cakes, pre-made desserts and fondant are examples of artificial foods. White flour products and most cereals used as breakfast foods are examples of denatured foods. As the chewable portions of the grains are removed all of these artificial and denatured foods are largely liquid or soft, and need but little chewing before they are swallowed. Children of civilized people use after weaning. Teeth come in crooked because the jawbones are too small. They are stunted, they have not grown as they should. They are not long enough to hold all of the permanent teeth. When the jaw is too small there is not room for them, they cannot come through in proper alignment and as a result are forced by growth out of the jaw. Jaws are faint in the individual child and not a free of nature. Jaws are stunted because they have not been used enough in chewing food that is more or less Continued on fourth page.

And he has gone into the mountains and into the more remote mountains and to the difficult spots which the average man life and found it charming and has presented it with an intimacy and accuracy touched by few writers of either fiction CHAPTER I A Gentleman of the Range When Madeline Hammond stepped from the train at El Cajon, New Mexico, it was nearly midnight, and her first impression was of a huge dark space of cool, windy emptiness, strange and silent, stretching away many miles. "Miss, there's no one to meet you," said the conductor anxiously. "I wired my brother," she replied. "He will be here present. But, if he should not come—surely I can find a hotel!" "There's lodgings to be had. If you'll excuse me—this is no place for a lady like you to be alone at night. It's a rough little town—mostly Mexicans, miners, cowboys. And they carouse a lot. Besides, the revolution across the border has stirred up some excitement along the line. Miss, I guess it's safe enough, if you—" "Thank you. I am not in the least afraid." As the train started to glide away Miss Hammond walked toward the dimly lighted station. She entered the empty waiting-room. An oil-lamp gave out a thick yellow light. A telegraph instrument clicked faintly. Madeline Hammond crossed the waiting-room to a window and, holding aside her vell, looked out. At first she could desyce only a few dim lights, and these blurred in her sight. As her eyes grew accustomed to the darkness she saw a superbly built horse standing in the window. Beyond a house are square. Through a hole in the window-glass came a cool breve, and on it breathed a sound that struck coarsely upon her ear—a discordant mingling of laughter and shout, the tramp of boots to the hard music of a phonograph. "Western revelry," mused Miss Hammond, as she left the window. "Now, what to do? I'll wait here. Perhaps the station agent will return soon, or Alfred will come for me." As she sat down to wait she reviewed the causes which accounted for the remarkable situation in which she found herself. That Madeline Hammond should be alone, at a late hour, in a dingy little western railroad station, was indeed extraordinary. The close of her debutate year had been marred by the only unhappy experience of her life—the disgrace of her brother and his leaving home. She dated the beginning of a certain thoughtful habit of mind from that time, and a dissatisfaction with the brilliant life society offered her. There had been months of unrest, of curiously painful wonderment that her position, her wealth, her pop- ularity no longer suffaced. She be- loved she had lived through the dreams and fancies of a girl to become a woman of the world. And she had gone on as before, a part of the glittering show, but no longer blind to the truth—that there was nothing in her luxurious life to make it sufficient. And at last she knew what she needed—to be alone, to brood for long hours, to gaze out on lonely, silent, darkening stretches, to watch COLORED STUDENT EDITS HIGH SCHOOL WEEKLY Editing of last week's issue of The Orient, the weekly newspaper of East high school, Minneapolis, was in the hands of Miss Helen Jackson, second year student at the school, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Madison Jackson. 2003 Franklin avenue southeast. Miss Jackson is also sopohomore editor on the staff of The Cardinal, the annual of East high school. the stars, to race her soul, to find her real self. Then it was she had first thought of visiting the brother who had gone west to cast his fortune with the cattemen. As it happened, she had friends who were on the eve of starting for California, and she made a quick decision to travel with them. When she calmly announced her intention of going out west her mother had exclaimed in consternation; and her father, surprised into pathetic memory of the black sheep of the family, had stared at her with glistening eyes. "Why, Madeline! You want to see that wild boy!" Then he had reverted to the anger he still felt for his wayward son, and he had forbidden Madeline to go. Her mother forgot her haughty poise and dignity. Madeline stood her ground, even to reminding them that she was twenty-four and her own mistress. In the end she had prevailed. Madeline had planned to arrive in England on October 3 her brother's birthday, and she had succeeded, though her arrival occurred at the twenty-fourth hour. Her train had been several hours late. Whether or not the message had reached Alfred's hands she had no means of telling, and the thing which concerned her now was the fact that she had arrived and he was not there to meet her. As Madeline sat waiting in the yellow gloom she heard the faint, instrument, the low hum of wires, the occasional stamp of an ironshoe hoof, and a distant vacant laugh rising above the sounds of the dance. She became She Become Conscious of a Slight Quickening of Her Pulse. conscious of a slight quickening of her pulse. Madeline had only a limited knowledge of the West. Like all of her class, she had traveled Europe and had neglected America. She had been astounded at the interminable distance she had traveled, and if there had been anything attractive to look at in all that journey she had passed it in the night. A faint sound like the rattling of thin chains diverted Madeline's attention. At first she imagined it was made by the telegraph wires. Then she heard a step. The door swung wide; a tall man entered, and with him came the clinking rattle. She realized then that the sound came from his spurs. "Will you please direct me to a hotel?" asked Madeline, rising. The cowboy removed his sombrero, and the sweep he made with it and the accompanying bow, despite their exaggeration, had a kind of rude grace. He took two long strides toward her. "Hady, are you married?" in the past Mist Hammond's sense of humor had often helped her to overlook critical actions natural to her breeding. She kept silence, and she imagined it was just as well that her vell hid her face at the moment. She had been prepared to find cowboys rather striking, and she had been warned not to laugh at them. This gentleman of the range deliberately reached down and took up her left hand. Before she recovered from her start of amaze he had stripped off her socks. "You see, the only hotel in this here town is against boarding married women. We have married women. Keep the boys away. You see, this isn't Reno." Then he laughed rather boyishly, and from that, and the way he slouched on his sombrero, Madeline Criticizing the church and the ministry and other Christian people brings repressure to the other who does it and the institution that allows it. It is my request that the faults of the church and of the ministry and other Christian people with client and prayerful sorrow in all meetings that I conduct. realized he was half drunk. As she distinctly recouled she not only gave him a keener glance, but stepped into a position where a better light shone on his face. It was like red bronze, bold, raw, sharp. Like that of all women whose beauty and charm had brought them much before the world, Miss Hammond's intuition had been developed until she had a delicate and exquisitely sensitive perception of the nature of men and of her effect upon them. This crude cowboy, under the influence of drink, had affrontoed her; nevertheless, whatever was in his mind, he meant no insult. "I shall be greatly obliged to you if you will show me to the hotel," she said. "Lady, you wait here," he replied, slowing as if his thought did not come swiftly. "I'll go fetch the porter." She thanked him and as he went out, closing the door, she found in considerable relief. It occurred to her that she should have mentioned her brother's name. Then she fell to wondering what living with such uncut cowbirds had done to Alfred. She alone of her family had ever believed in any latent good in Alfred Hammond, and her faith had scarcely survived the two years of silence. Waiting there, she again found herself listening to the moon of the wind through the wires. Then Madeline heard a rapid patterning, at low at first and growing louder, which presently she recognized as the galloping of horses. She went to the window, thinking, hoping her brother had arrived. But as the clatter increased to a roar, shadows sped by—lean horses, flying manes and somber riders, all strange and wild in her sight. Recalling what the conductor had said, she was at some pains to quell her uneasiness. Then out of the gloom two figures appeared, one tall, the other slight. The cowboy entered, pulling a disheveled figure—that of a priest, a padre, whose mantle had manifestly been disarranged by the rude grasp of his captor. Plain it was that the padre was extremely terrified. Madeline Hammond gazed in bewilderment at the little man, so pale and shaken, and a protest trembled; but it was never uttered, for the half-drunken cowboy now appeared to be a cool, grim-smiling devil; and strucking out a long arm, he grasped her and swung her back to the bench. "You stay there!" he ordered. His voice, though neither brutal nor harsh nor cruel, had the unaccountable effect of making her powerless to move. No man had ever before addressed her in such a tone. It was the woman in her that obeyed—not the personality of proud Madeline Hammond. The padre lifted his clasped hands as if supplicating for his life, and began to speak hurriedly in Spanish. Madeline did not understand the language. The cowboy pulled out a huge gun and brandished it in the priest's face. Then he lowered it, apparently to point it at the priest's feet. There was a red flash, and then a thundering report that stunned Madeline. The room filled with smoke and the smell of powder. When she could see distinctly through the smoke she experienced a sensation of immeasurable relief that the cowboy had not shot the padre. But he was still waving the gun, and now appeared to be dragging his victim toward her. What possibly could be the drunken fool's intention? This must be, this surely was a cowboy trick. Madeline no sooner thought of it than she made certain her brother was introducing her to a Wild West amusement. She could scarcely believe it, yet it must be true. He stood he stood out the door or window laughing at her. Angered she carried her panic. She straightened up with what compose this surprise had left her and carried for the door. But the cowboy barred her passage—grasped her arm. Then Madeline divined that her brother could not have any knowledge of this indignity. It was no trick. Poise, dignity, culture—all the acquired habits of character—fled before the instinct to fight. She was athletic. She fought. She struggled desperately. But he forced her back with hands of iron. She had never known a man could be so strong. "What—do you—mean?" she panted. "Dearie, cease up a little on the bridle," he replied, gaily. Madeline thought she must be dreaming. She could not think clearly. She not only saw this man, but also felt his powerful presence. And the shaking priest, the hase of blue smoke, the smell of powder—these were not unreal. Then close before her eyes burst another blinding red flash, and close at her ears bellowed another report. Unable to stand, Madeline slipped down onto the bench. Her drifting faculties refused clearly to record what trampled during the next few moments; presently, however, as her mind stedled somewhat, she heard, though as in a dream, the voice of the padre hurrying over strange words, and then the cowboy's voice stirred him. "Lady, say Si—Sl. Say it—quick! Say it—Sl!" From sheer suggestion a force irresistible at this moment when her will was clamped by panic; she spoke the word. "And how, lady—so we can finish this property—what's your name?" Still obeying mechanically, she told him. He stared for a while, as if the name had awakened associations in a mind somewhat befogged. He leaned back unsteadily. "What name?" he demanded. Colored citizens of Cincinnati have asked the mayor to take steps to wipe out the vice rampant in the colored residential districts. "Madeline Hammond. I am Alfred Hammond's sister." He put his hand up and brushed at an imaginary something before his eyes. "You're not—Majesty Hammond." How strange—stranger than anything that had ever happened to her before—was it to hear that name on the lips of this cowboy! It was a name by which she was familiarly known, though only those nearest and dearest to her had the privilege of using it. And now it revived her dulled faculties, and by an effort she regained control of herself. "You are Majesty Hammond," and She Fought. She Struggled Desper- ately. this time he affirmed wonderingly rather than questioned. Madeline rose and faced him. "Yes, I am." He slammed his gun back into its holster. "Well, I reckon we won't go on with it then." "With what, sir? And why did you force me to say Si to this priest?" "I reckon that was a way I took to show him you'd be willing to get married." "Oh! . . . You—you galvanize the cowboy into action. He grasped the padre and led him toward the door, cursing and threatening, no doubt enjoining secrecy. Then he pushed him across the threshold and stood there breathing hard and wrestling with himself, Miss Hammond." he said, huskily. "You could fall into worse company than mine—but I reckon you sure think not. I'm pretty drunk, but I'm—all right otherwise. Just wait—a minute." She stood quivering and blazing with wrath, and watched this savage fight his drunkenness. Madeline saw the dark, damp halls lift from his brows as he held it up to the cool wind. The cowboy turned and began to talk. "You see—I was pretty drunk," she labored. "There was a flesta—and a wedding. I do fool things when I'm drunk. I made a fool bet I marry the first girl who came to town. . . If you hadn't worn that vell—the fellows were joshing me—and Ed Linton was getting married—and everybody to gamble. I must have been pretty drunk." "Explanations are not necessary," she interrupted. "I am very tired—distressed. The hour is late. Have you the slightest idea what it means to be a gentleman." His bronzed face burned a flaming crimson. "Is my brother here—in town to night?" Madeline went on. "No. He's at his ranch." "But I wired him." "Like as not the message is over in his box at the P. O. He'll be in town tomorrow. He's shipping cattle for Stillwell." "Meanwhile I must go to a hotel. Will you please—" If he heard her last words he showed no evidence of it. A noise outside had attracted his attention. Madeline listened. Low voices of men, the softer liquid tones of a woman, drifted in through the open door. They spoke in Spanish, and the voices grew louder. Then the woman's voice, hurried and broken, rising higher, the warrior's upper appeal made the warrior's demeanor startled Madeline into anticipation of something dreadful. She was not deceived. From outside came the sound of a scuffle—a muffled shot, a green, the thud of a falling body, a woman's low cry, and footsteps padding away in rapid retreat. Madeline Hammond leaned weakly back in her seat, cold and sick, and for a moment her ears throbbed to the tramp of the dancers across the way and the rhythm of the cheap music. Then into the open door-place flashed a girl's tragic face, lighted by dark eyes and framed by dusky hair. The girl reached a slim brown hand round the side of the door and held on as if to support herself. "Sensor—Gene!" she exclaimed; and breathless glad recognition made a sound. "Bonita!" The cowboy leaped to her. "Girl! Are you hurt?" "No sensor." He took hold of her. "I heard—somebody got shot. Was it Danny? "No, sanot." "Did Danny do the shooting? Tell me, girl." Phone Dale 9652 P. H. ENMARK Bicycles, Supplies and Repairs GO-CARTS RE-TIRED 608 University St. Paul "No, senor." "I'm sure glad. I thought Danny was mixed up in that. He had Still well's money for the boys—I was an old man. So, Bonita, but you'll not in trouble. Who was with you? What did you do?" "Senor Gene—they Don Carlos vaqueros—the quarrel over me. I only dance a leetle, smile a leetle, and they quarrel. I beg they be good—watch out for Sheriff Hawe . . . and now Sheriff Hawe put me in jail. I so frighten; he try make leetle love to Bonita once, and now he hate me like he hate Senor Gene." "Pat Hawe won't put you in jail. Take my horse and lift the Pelleoncil trail. Bonita, promise to stay away from El Cajon." "Sl, Senor." He led her outside. Madeline heard the horse snort and champ his bit. The cowboy spoke low; only a few words were intelligible—"stirrups . . . wait . . . out of town . . . mountain . . . trail . . . now ride!" A moment's silence ensued, and was broken by a pounding of hoofs, a patterning of gravel. Then Madeline saw a big, dark horse run into the wide space. She caught a glimpse of wind-swept scarf and hair, a little form low down in the saddle. The horse was outlined in black against the line of wild grass, nothing wild and splendid in his flight. Directly the cowboy appeared again in the doorway. "Miss Hammond, I reckon we want to rustle out of here. Been had goings-on. And there's a train due." She hurried into the open air, not daring to look back or to either side. Her guide strode swiftly. She had almost to run to keep up with him. Suddenly aware that she had been led beyond the line of houses, she spoke: "Where are you taking me?" "To Florence Kingsley," he replied. "Who is she?" "I reckon she's your brother's best friend out here." Madeline kept pace with the cowboy for a few moments longer, and then she stopped. It was as much as the cowboy to catch her breath as it was from recurring fear. The cowboy, missing her, came back the few intervening steps. Then he waited, still silent, looming beside her. "It's so dark, so lonely," she faltered. "How do I know . . . what warrant can you give me that you—that no harm will befall me if I go farther?" "None, Miss Hammond, except that I've seen your face." CHAPTER 11 A Secret Kent Because of that singular reply Madeline found faith to go farther with the cowboy. But at the moment she really did not think about what he had said. Any answer to her would have served if it had been kind. As she walked on into the windy darkness, much relieved that he had answered as he had, reflecting that he had yet to prove his words true, she began to grasp the deeper significance of them. There was a revival of pride that made her feel that she ought to scorn to think at all about such a man. Presently Madeline's guide turned off the walk and rapped at a door of a low-roofed house. "Hullo--who's there?" a deep voice answered. "Gene Stewart," said the cowboy. "Call Florence--quick!" Thump of footsteps followed, a tap on a door, and voices. Madeline heard a woman exclaim: "Gene! here when there's a dance in town! Something wrong out on the range." A light flared up and shone bright through a window. In another moment there came a patter of soft steps, and the door opened to disclose a woman holding a lamp. "Gene! Al's not—" "Al is all right," interrupted the cowboy. Madeline had two sensations then—one of wonder at the note of alarm said to the woman's voice, and the other of unutterable relief to be safe with a friend of her brother's. "It's Al's sister--came on tonight's train," the cowboy was saying. "I happened to be at the station, and I fetched her up to you." Madeline came forward out of the shadow. "Not—not really Majesty Hammond!" exclaimed Florence Kingles. She nearly dropped the lamp, and she looked, astounded beyond belief. "Yes, I am really she," replied Madeline. "My train was late and for some reason Alfred did not meet me. Mr. Mr. Stewart saw fit to bring you, you instead of taking me to a hotel." "Oh, I'm so glad to meet you," replied Florence, warmly. "Do come in, I'm so surprised, I forget my mama. Why, you are white as a sheet. You must be tired. What a long wait you had at the station! If I had known you were coming! Indeed, you are very pale. Are you ill?" "No. Only I am very tired. Traveling so far by rail is harder than I imagined. I did have rather a long wait after arriving at the station, but I can't say that it was lonely." Florence Kingles searched Madeline's face with keen eyes, and then took a seat. She looked at Stewart. With that she deliberately and quietly closed a door leading into another room. "Miss Hammond, what has happened?" She had lowered her voice. "I do not wish to recall all that has happened," replied Madeline. "I shall tell Alfred, however, that I would rather have met a hostile Apache than a cowboy." (To be continued next week) WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITAL.

LOOKOUT YOU DON'T SLIP OR YOU'LL LAND ON THE EQUINOX— UNDERA EQUINOX? COPYRIGHT DING THE GREAT DIVIDE Uncommon Sense BY JOHN BLAKE GUARD YOUR SPEECH MEN are judged by their talk. They have no other means of impressing those with whom they come into contact. Business men and prospective employers are not mind readers. They form their opinion of you by the words that come out of your mouth. If you talk well and intelligently your chance of success is excellent. If your speech is slovenly, ungrammatical, and above all profane, you will promptly be set down as a mucker. And nobody wants to transact business with muckers, or to hire muckers to transact business for them. Profanly instantly stamps those who use it as of inferior intelligence. More than that, it makes the cultivation of correct speech impossible. Nobody will take the trouble to think of the right word to use if he has the habit of inserting an expletive whenever he is at a loss for the right expression. And only by searching for the right words to use can correct speech be formed. You do not swear in the presence of ladies. Unless you are utterly ill-mannered you do not swear in the presence of strangers. It is easy, therefore, to keep profanity out of your speech. Important men, it is true, are sometimes addicted to profanity. But they are not important because of their profanity, but in spite of it. And more and more, intelligent men are abandoning the habit. Lincoln managed to get along without it. So did Washington, although both of them were subjected to vexations such as are utterly unknown to you. Keep your speech clean and straight-forward. Be vigorous, but don't be profane. Fight hard against the habit if you have it already. If you haven't contracted it, don't. You don't want to be known as a mucker, and you are certain to be, if you substitute oaths and expletives for intelligent English. (© by John Blake.) MEN YOU MAY MARRY By E. R. R.

Rent receipts do not help much towards paying the undertaker or supporing the widow and the orphans after one is dead. Buying or building one's home on the installment plan often enables one to save where he would not do so otherwise. The fact that he has something at stake, and must make good on it, is a blessing in disguise. Think It Over and Consult Your Real Estate Dealer FRED D. McCRACKEN 323 Metropolitan Bank Building. Tel.

Matters Social, Religious and General Which Have Happened and Are to Happen Among the People of the City. By E. W. Gilles An important part of a work is its beginning. "Well begun is half done." In beginning a work do not berate your predecessor, but on the contrary treat his faults with silent and prayerful sorrow. In beginning a work, do not talk about what big things you are going to do, but on the contrary quietly study the situation and accept conditions as they are and improve them constructively as fast as you can. An important part of a work is the work itself throughout, and a man's devotion to it. The best man on the job always has a job and is always wanted on the job, and if by any means he is thrown out of a job there will be other jobs awaiting him. An important part of a work is its closing. "All is well that ends well." In closing a work, keep mum and keep sweet no matter how hard it may be. If you establish a reputation for closing a work in the midst of disruptionences it will be a hard blow to you. Your reputation, whether good or bad, in these and other matters is like your shadow, it follows you. HOW TO DEVELOP GOOD SOUND TEETH Continued from second page. solid. Chewing spreads the jaws and elongates the bones. To make a long story short, my friends, I urge you to look after the little ones. Start them out right, give them foods that will make them chew hard, and see to it that they really chew their food. Watch their teeth just the same as you would their clothes and bodies. Just get after the child about its teeth the same way you do when it says something wrong or when it does something wrong. Do that and in later years that same child will thank you over and over again.

The jail, along with a complete chapel and a morgue, is among the municipal buildings to be contained in the miniature city that will be included in Chicago's new union station now under construction. Most large railway stations have the usual restaurants, drug stores, cigar stores, news stands and barber shops, but the union station will have two restaurants and a cafeteria, and it will be the only station in the world, it is said, to boast a real jail. Two cells, each completely equipped and capable of accommodating several prisoners, will be built in the basement. A reception room, heavily barred, will give access to the cells. "Hardly a day passes without detectives, police officers and federal officers passing through Chicago with prisoners," said G. A. Allen, superintendent of construction. "Sometimes the officers have to wait nearly 24 hours for their trains, which means they must spend the 24 hours handcuffed to the prisoner. When our jail is completed the officer can receive the cell keys from the custodian, lock his prisoners in the cells and be free until train time." The chapel will be completely furnished and equipped for funeral services, providing facilities that have long been needed in Chicago. Canadian Girl Who Is Descendant of Joliet MRS. B. W. HARRIS A.

Washington.—The horse has decreased in numbers in the world at large about 11 per cent in the last ten years, according to figures made public by the Department of Agriculture, which show a falling off in the total in 85 countries from 116,500,000 to 108,550,000. The decreases occurred largely in Russia, where the decline was nearly 50 per cent, and in the United States where the total has dropped from 23,145,000 in 1914 to 20,550,000. Russia's total of 34,700,000 has dwindled to 18,507,000. There was a slight decrease in the number of mules and asses, of which this country's total of 5,828,000 is the largest. In connection with the figures, however, the department reported a marked tendency in England and Wales to replace farm tractors with horse labor, the retension being attributed to lower prices for horses, reduced upkeep and declining labor costs. Allen Pays Election Bet Five Years Old Topeka, Kan—C. W. Miller, pioneer resident of Hayes, Kan, and now register of the United States land office in Topeka, was the recipient of a pair of shoes as a result of an election wager made more than five years ago with former Gov. Henry J. Allen. Miller said that Allen conduced to him his desire to run for governor, but expressed fear he would lose. Miller advised him to run and proposed a wager, by which he would buy Allen a pair of shoes if Allen lost and Allen would buy Miller a pair if Allen won. It Is Further Ordered.
