The Appeal

INDICT SIX IN MISSOURI LYNCH CASE APPEAL ADVERTISEMENTS REACH A BUYING MARKET VOL. 39 NO. 20 INDICT S MISSISSIPPIANS EXPLAIN EXODUS TO WHITE PEOPLE High School For Colle Dyer Will S Here Friday Colored Citizens of Jackson Tell Why State is Losing Labor SET DOWN GRIEVANGES Per Capita Rate for White Education Twenty Times Rate For Colored New York May 18.—A statement drawn up in a mass meeting of prominent colored citizens of Jackson, Mississippi, recently, explaining to the white citizens of the state the reasons for the exodus of colored labor from the South, was received and made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "The colored man feels that life is not safe in Mississippi," says the statement, "and his life may be taken with impunity at any time upon the slightest pretext or provocation by a white man." Dver Bill Defeated The statement which is signed by S. D. Redmond colored lawyer and chairman of the Jackson mass meeting, continues: "He has generally despaired of obtaining his right to see action in the case he has lost faith and a few of the following facts all tend to force him to this conclusion." Tenant System Blamed Among the outstanding grievances recited in the list are the following: That twenty dollars is spent on the education of every white child in Mississippi against one dollar for every colored child. That while there are 1000 high schools for white children in the state there is but one such institution maintained for colored children. "It appears that almost innumerable colored tenant farmers charge their landlords with either no settlement, or an unfair settlement, and many of them after appealing to both state and federal authorities in vain, have given up in despair and sought other climes, some of them charging that a state of peonage exists in certain sections of the state. "The black man charges that one white man's word may outweigh that of a hundred colored men; that no public improvement as a rule is made in those sections of towns and cities occupied by colored people. Bared From Government In addition the statement claims that colored men in Mississippi, although they contributed more soldiers to the U. S. Army during the war than the whites, are completely excluded from all share in jury service, the ballot and from any participation in government. "This he holds responsible for all of his many inequalities and injustices under the law, and feels that notwithstanding the kindly feelings of many to the contrary, that such a state and condition must ever remain just as long, as he is denied the ballot; since history and facts express of mutual cooperation contentment and mutual welfare, where one group assumes guardianship of another and attempts to govern them without the consent of the governed." The report asserts that those people who have left Mississippi cannot be brought back but that the exodus can be checked if conditions are remedied. LOVERS DEFY COLOR LINE; LAND IN JAIL Carmel, N. Y., May 17—(K. N. F.

PETITION TO DISSOLVE CORPORATION GRANTED Receiver Appointed for Mercantile Firm; Assets to be Distributed An order for the dissolution of the St. Paul Co-operative Mercantile Association was signed by Judge Boorer last Saturday and James Williams was appointed receiver. The St. Paul Co-operative Mercantile Association was organized as a subsidiary corporation to the Cooperative Wholesale society of America. After considerable litigation, some of which still remains unfinished, the parent body ceased to do business and a receiver was appointed to wind up its affairs. The St. Paul concern likewise became inactive and the present action was brought to distribute its assets among the stockholders and members entitled thereto. Attorney Roscoe Crump conducted the action in behalf of the petitioners, and the law firm of H. P. Keller and Bruce Broady appeared for other interested parties. Atty. Crump secured a money judgment for his clients as well as an order dissolving the corporation and appointing the receiver. Mr. Crump will soon be located in his new law offices at 61 E. Sixth street.

PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY. MAY 19, 1923 Large Number Have Registered in Effort to Win "U" Scholarship Offered by Mu Chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha; Essays to be Read at Pilgrim Church. Local high school seniors will complete in an essay contest for the tuition prize offered by Mu chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity at Pilgrim Baptist church, Cedar and Summit avenues, Sunday, May 27 at 8 p. m. The subject of the essays is "What I Have Gained From My High School Education." Each year since the first "Go to College" campaign the movement has taken on greater proportions, and the evidence of its influence in the college world is seen in the attention given it by national leaders, church organizations and the press. In a letter to Norman L. McGhee, national secretary of the fraternity, regarding the movement, the President of the United States wrote, "The need for effective work to reduce illiteracy among colored people is very great, and manifestly it can be accomplished mainly through the equipment of members of the colored race to do educational work among their own people." Dean Kelly Miller, in the Pittsburgh Courier said, "The Go to High School, Go to College week is merely suggestive of the wide field of activity which such organizations might well engage. The colored man or woman of the future who falls short of at least a high school education can hardly hope to operate on a high level of service." A large number of high school seniors attended to participate in the contest. The decision of the judges and the awarding of the prize will take place immediately following the content. It is hoped that a large audience will be present to encourage the young people. Some talent from the chapter will be added to the program. Admission is free. A TRADE SCHOOL FOR DISABLED VETERANS The U. S. Veterans' opened a vocational school at Helena, Montana on October 2, 1922, for giving trade instruction to disabled soldiers of the World War. This school has furnished instruction along trade lines to fifty to seventy men each month since it was opened. There are courses in machine shop practice, mechanical drafting, general electricity, shoe repairing and auto mechanics. Men whose early education is defective are given pre-vocational instruction in regular English branches. The men taking trades courses are given supplementary training in Shop English and Shop Mathematics. This school with its office, shops, and class-rooms, occupies three floors of a fire-proof building $44^{\times}101^{\prime}$, centrally located in the city of Helena. The equipment is very complete including everything needed for giving thorough instruction in the above trades. Every department is headed by an instructor who has taught or worked at his trade before coming to the school. He has either been a thorough workman, or an executive or a shop foreman in his trade. There are two instructors in the automobile department. Before the practical work in the shops, which includes mechanical drafting for all except the men in shoe repairing, they also receive special instruction in Shop English and Mathematics. Men taking mechanical drafting are required to spend half of each day in the shops where they come in contact with the practical side of the business men talk to the trainers from time to time, thus keeping the men in close touch with the need and practices of the industrial world. Once a week the director of the school meets class and talks with them in a nontechnical way about matters concerning their employment objectives FIGHT RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION IN D. C. Washington, May 18.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through the Washington, D. C. Branch, is fighting an agreement made among white property owners which prohibits their selling land to colored people. The case arose out of the sale of property by one of the white owners to Helen Curtis, colored, in violation of the agreement among the white owners. James A. Cobb, chairman of the legal committee of the Washington, Branch, N. A. A. C. P., appeared for Helen Curtis, before Chief Justice McCoy of the District Supreme Court who overruled her motion to dismiss the suit. A letter from Shelby J.-Davidson, executive secretary of the Washington Branch states that the adverse decision of the court will be appealed, carrying the case if necessary, to the United States Supreme Court. Justice McCoy's decision is seen as a dangerous precedent, in that if might furnish a way to circumvent the Supreme Court's decision in the Louisville Case, declaring residential segregation unconstitutional. PRESS EXCLUSION OF COLORED GIRL FROM ART SCHOOL Committee of Artists Exposing Itself to Ridicule of Europe, Boas Says PLAN APPEAL TO HARDING Friends of Girl Artist Move to Interest President Harding and Washington New York, May 18.—Prof. Franz Boas of Columbia, America's leading authority in anthropology, and other prominent white educators of this city have joined the movement to educate the committee of "eminent American artists" in the true ethics of Art and to persuade it to reverse its stupid and discriminatory decision against Augusta Savage, colored artist of recognized ability, and declare her eligible to enter the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts at the Palace of Fontainebleau, France next month. Professor Boas Protests In a letter to Ernest Peixoca, chairman of the committee, Prof. Boas said: "I read a few days ago in the newspapers that Miss Savage's application to study in the Fontainebleau School of Arts has been rejected by the committee. I know Miss Savage's work and I wish to protest most energetically against the discrimination against the gifted young woman on account of her racial descent. I trust the committee will revise its decision and permit her to pursue her art. I cannot understand how the committee could be willing to expose itself to the ridicule of all Europeans by taking a stand dictated by narrow racial prejudice." To Interest Washington Friends of Miss Savage have started a move to enlist the interest of President Harding and other members of the Administration at Washington in Miss Savage's behalf, and in the interest of Art and fair play. The suggestion has been advanced that the French government be interested by Washington to champion the cause of fair play. In the meantime, Alfred W. Martin A. 95 Madison Avenue, one of the leaders of the Ethical Society of New York, who sailed for France, April 28, will champion Miss Savage's cause with the French government this week. Swinging Cleaver Clips Fingers Of Armour Employee Big Knife Takes Means of Extra Livelihood from Piano Player A swinging cleaver on the sheep head bench at the Armour plant in South St. Paul last week robbed Naomi Leavett, woman worker, of two fingers and the tip of a third. Miss Leavett was reaching for a head that had slipped down the chute and did not see the cleaver descending. "Don't mind the loss of my fingers as far as the work is concerned, said Miss Leavett, "but my piano playing at the theater is the only way I support my mother and sister, and now I can't play any more I'm afraid." Miss Leavett was employed evenings at the Rex theater. She is recovering in the company hospital. New York, May 17.—(K. N. F. Service) Eugene O'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones," in which Charles Glin starred in here, and for which he was awarded the Spingarn Medal, will be one of the attractions at the Franco-American gala to be held June 3, in Paris, at the home of the President of the French Chamber of Denuttes. The title role will be played by a colored actor. PLANTATION REVIEW ARRIVES IN LONDON New York, May 17—(K. N. F. Service. According to a cable reaching here last week, Florence Mills and her "Plantation Review" have arrived in London. When the trouple left New York City, Southerners sailing on the same vessel objected to traveling with it. Unemployed English actors and actresses are said to be jealous of the invasion in Europe of colored artists. Jury Grants Husband's Suit For Divorce On Grounds Of Adultery Beatrice Few Fails in Action for Separation and Maintenance When Court Finds for John Few on Charges Filed in Cross Bill; Property to Woman. The jury in the case of Beatrice Few against John C. Few, after a few days trial, rendered a verdict last Friday in favor of the defendant, John Few, finding the plaintiff, Beatrice Few, guilty of adultery. The proceedings were started by Mrs. Few in an effort to secure separation from her husband and to compel him to provide for her separate maintenance and to get the care, custody and control of the two children on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. Mr. Few filed a cross-bill alleging that she was guilty of adultery and demanding an absolute divorce. He also sought to secure possession of one of the children and the return of the property known as 314 St. Albans street which he had deeded to her just before they were married. Judge Lewis, before whom the case was tried, found that the allegations of inhuman and cruel treatment alleged by Mrs. Few were not true and denied her prayer for separate maintenance; that the transfer of the property by Mr. Few to Mrs. Few was an absolute deed and could not be attacked in that case, and that the children having been removed to Alabama, the court could not make an order giving the care or custody to either party. Upon the verdict of the jury finding Mrs. Few guilty of adultery the court granted abusive orders to Mr. Few without requiring pay any support or expense money. John J. Kirby represented Mrs. Few and W. T. Francis represented Mr. Few. HOW DISABLED MEN RANK AT COLLEGE Reports to the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, C. D. Hibbard, District Manager, Minneapolis, show that disabled veterans are receiving their vocational training in colleges are distinctly making good in spite of their physical handicaps. At the University of North Dakota, located at Grand Forks, the average grade of University students was 81.14 per cent, while that of the bureau's vocational students was 82.50. The registrar says "You will notice that their average scholarship is a little above the University average. You will also notice that some students are quite prominent in outside activities in the whole, they make a creditable showing." The outside activities referred to is membership in fraternities, glee clubs, debating and oratorical societies, Y. M. C. A., University publications, and similar things. It is gratifying to know that these Veterans' Bureau men are not only accomplishing more than the non-government students but are also taking an active part in all the varied life of the institution or that as one expressed it, "they are regular fellows." At the University of Montana, Missouri, Montana, for the last quarter, there were 129 regular students of the University of Montana, 10 on the Honor Oil. There were besides these, 87 U. S. Veterans' Bureau trainees, and 9 of these, or better than 10 per cent likewise won honor standings. These two instances go to prove that exservice men appreciate the opportunities a grateful government has placed before them, and are preparing themselves thoroughly for effective work in their future professions. Landlord Stingy With Heat; Gets Fine, Jail New York, May 17—(K. N. F. Service) Louis Klen, 44, white, of 616 Lenox Avenue, and owner of an apartment in the colored section of New York, was fined $250 and sentenced to the workhouse for ten days last week for failing to supply heat and hot water, last March. Evidence brought out showed that he had offered his tenants $100 if they would move out so that he could rent his flats to colored people for more money than he was getting. The tenants refused to move and he raised the rent one hundred per cent. MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR JAMES REESE EUROPE New York, May 17—(K. N. F. Service). The Clet Club of the City of New York will hold its annual James Reese Europe Memorial services at St. Mark's Church, on Sunday afternoon. Noted citizens will make speeches and pay tribute to the great musician and bandmaster. Europe, it will be remembered, was killed by one of the members of his famous band shortly after the close of the war. Dr. Ancker Dies "In The Harness" Dr. A. B. Ancker, superintendent of the city and county hospital, died Tuesday in his office at the hospital from an ailment of the heart. On August 1 of this year Dr. Ancker would have completed his fortieth year as superintendent. WHITES IN SUPPORT OF BACK TO AFRICA MOVE Threten to Make Conditions so Bad Race Will be Glad to Follow Marcus Portland, Ore. May 18—Reminiscent of the circulars distributed among colored people last summer advising them that Garvey and the Ku Klux Klan were their two best friends and that they should beware of the Church of Rome and the radical groups within the race, propaganda circulars are being distributed far and wide over the west to the effect that the Knights of the White Light have undertaken the task of not only making the colored man fall in line with the Garvey program and deport for parts in Africa, but of making him earnestly and anxiously desirous of going. The leaflets, mailed to white citizens of these parts, inform them that the aim of the Knights of the White Light is to see that all people of African descent be chased out of this country. They have taken a vow to force the black man to go to Africa, and to want to go. The circular reads, in part: "Speakers or agents are to tell them of the beautiful home across the front face of the house they can Nor is the press to be idle, all manner of magazines, papers, pamphlets, calculated to excite a desire in them for a home across the pond, will be scattered among them. "We must send agents among the Negroes, to encourage the emigration telling them of the delightful climate, and the rich soil, where cotton and all kinds of fruit grow wild. Where there are not white men to rape their women and lynch their men, where they can have officers and make their own laws, and where freedom will be as unlimited as the sunshine which is above their hands. Transportation must be furnished memory, possible have them to furnish the own ships. "In the fewest words possible the purpose of our organization is to transport all colored people in the United States to Africa. As there is no law to compel the coon to leave unless he wants to, the first step is make him want to emigrate." SCULPTRESS TELLS HER STORY AT LYCEUM New York, May 14—(K. N. F. Service) Miss Augusta Savage, student of sculpture at Cooper Union, whose application to enter the Fountainbleau School of Fine Arts in France this summer, was rejected by the American committee because of her race, told of her disappointment last week at a mass meeting of protest held in St. Marks Lyceum. "I wanted to go so badly," she said, "that I worked night and day and bought new clothes that I might look all right. I was surprised when they told me that I was a little too dark. I am the only colored girl in my class at Cooper Union and the others look on me as though I were a freak. If I accomplish anything that is worth while they pat me on the back as though I were a little child." CASE MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE CHARGED AGAINST ONE MAN One is Member of Guard Company that Could Not be Mobilized in Time TRIALS IN JUNE TERM Five Released on $5,000 Bond and One Freed on $20,000 Bail (Argus Service) Columbia Mo., May 18.—Six men have been arrested here accused in indictments of having participated in the lynching of James T. Scott, on the morning of April 29. Judge Gantt, who is sitting in the Circuit Court said that while it would be impossible to set the case for the present term of court, because of the crowded condition of the docket, it was probable that all would be set for the June term, which begins June 18. Batteryman Arrested Elmer Woods, one of the men arrested on a charge of obstructing an officer is a member of Headquarters Battery, 128 Field Artillery, which was ordered out to suppress the mob, but which could not be mobilized in time to prevent the lynching. Other men taken into custody were Hamp H. Rowland, a farmer; Estill Davis, the son of a contractor; Geo. Barkwell, a contractor and two others. The only first-degree murder indictment returned by the grand jury was against Barkwell. He is at liberty on a $20,000 bond. The other men gave bond for $5,000 each. N. A. A. C. P. BRANCHES PAYING DYER EXPENSES Tour Arranged By National Office; Speaks in Twin Cities May 24-25 New York—Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, of Missouri, who is touring the middle and far west to rouse public sentiment for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which he intends to reintroduce in the coming Congress, is having his traveling expenses paid by Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The N. A. A. C. P. arranged for the tour with Mr. Dyer. The dates and places at which Representative Dyer is scheduled to speak against "The Shame of America" are as follows: Kansas City, Kansas, April 27; Kansas City, Mo., April 29; Omaha, Neb., April 30; Denver, Col., May 2; Los Angeles, Cal., May 6; Oakland, Cal., May 10; San Francisco, Cal., May 11; Portland, Ore., May 18; Seattle Wash., May 17; Spokane, Wash., May 20; Duluth Minn., May 23; Minneapolis, Minn., May 24; St. Louis Minn., May 25; Milwaukee, Wis., May 26; Chicago, Ill., May 27; Indianapolis Ind., May 28; Detroit, Mich., May 30. In connection with Representative Dyer's tour, Robert W. Bagnall Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said: "Colored voters and liberal minded whites all over the country will be reached in the determined campaign to make the Anti-Lynching Bill a lay." Club Presents Troop Flag To Boy Scouts Thanks to the Adelphai club, Troop 55 is now the proud possessor of a new troop flag. The presentation was made Wednesday night at St. James church at the regular meeting of the troop. Mrs. Maud Brooks, vice-president of the club in presenting the flag to the color bearer, John Kelly, Jr., said that the women of the club wanted to encourage an organization that was building better men, and that they were glad to aid the scouts in any way. George Harold Carr, in a short speech of acceptance for the troop promised the ladies that the flag would never trail in the dust. On behalf of the troop committees John W. Kelly, Sr., presented each of the three patrols with two folding frying pans to be used on hikes. Afterwards the committee served ice cream and cake to the scouts and their guests. George Sears was presented with his second class pin and H. Ashton with his tenderfoot pin. Entered at the Postoffice in St. Paul, Minnesota, as second-class mail matter, June 6, 1885, under Act of Congress; March 3, 1879. HEAR DYER Congressman Leonidas C. Dyer is to speak at Pilgrim Baptist Church Friday night at 8 o'clock on the "Shame of America." Every colored man and woman who can get inside the four walls of that church ought to hear him. Congressman Dyer is to father a Dyer anti-lynching bill in the next Congress. He is working for the best interests of expressed colored people. He should have the whole hearted support of every colored voter. Yesterday a colored man who does not see much good in anything complained that Rep. Dyer couldn't do any good because "they'll lynch you anyhow." No doubt there will be lynchings after the bill is passed if it is passed, but the Dyer bill will tend to CURB lynchings without a doubt. After you get a thing slowed down it is nearly always an easy task to stop it altogether. Colored people should be the last ones to find flaws in the move to seek a federal law against lynching. The fact that the southern states are solidly against the plan should demonstrate that it has some merit. Be sure Friday night to encourage the man who is fighting your fight. DR. A. B. ANCKER In the death of Dr. Ancker, superintendent of the city and county hospital, St. Paul has lost as great a servant as she ever had. No man came so close to the so-called masses, no man labored so diligently, gave of himself so unstintedly and impartially as did Dr. Ancker. The colored citizens of St. Paul lose in his passing a man who was as fair in the administration of the accomodations at the hospital as any man could be. No person was too old, too black, too dirty, too low, or too poor to receive from the administration at the hospital the very best attention. He did not "champion the cause" of colored people—he didn't try to—he simply treated them just like other people in every respect; and that is all that colored people desire. They can and will champion their own cause. It is to be hoped that Dr. Ancker's successor will minister in the same spirit of his predecessor. SOCIAL STRATIFICATION With the flight of years, stratification or the formation of layers can be noticed by those who have made a study of the "rocks of ages." Time causes the rock to form itself in layers one upon the other, each separate and distinct. This stratification or layer formation is indicative of natural process extended over given periods of time. There is a striking similarity in the study of races. We find that humanity is formed in layers, lower and upper strats piled layer upon layer. The black race in America is going through a process of social stratification and sure indications of progress are made evident by the visible appearance of upper crusts, middlers, and the inevitable underformation. A few years ago all black people were grouped pell mell in one category; they all were looked upon alike, for the most part they thought alike, each was as good as the other and they basked and revealed upon the same social plane. There were no lines of social distinction, no lines of demaration, no nobility, no plebans and no rabble. Stratification in the society of the black people is now asserting itself. The school teacher along with the minister was the first in establishing distinctions. The teacher was respected and considered a beacon light, the title of "Professor" gave him prestige. He was considered a little more than his fellows. Along with him came the physician and dentist, Doctor Blank was the "big man" of his community and his wife, "Mrs. Doctor Blank," was the cynosure of feminine eyes. They grouped themselves together and established the "upper crust" of the black people in this country. In the course of time successful business people—mostly undertakers and barbers, we were admitted into the charmed circle. The nobility of the black people thus had its birth and social stratification started upon its inevitable course. The south marked the scene and the sight. In the north the employees of the government and the railroads were the beginners in creation of social structure. John Jones, "of the New York Central Lines," was the major domo of the group and James Smith, nail carrier, but better known as a "government employee" was his associate, but the exodus of the black people from the south brought the doctor, the minister, the professor, the dentist and the successful business man who came and built up the real beginning of the black aristocracy in this country. Bankers, insurance men, lawyers, etc., have joined this group and stratification in society is proceeding along its natural course exactly analogous or at least similar to the formation of social groups of the white race in this country. One conclusion is left for us to make according to our system of government, meaning the capitalistic, and that is the black race is not different from the other polyglot groups that make up this nation and he is shaping his course in conformity with the rest. If progress is contemporary with stratification here then is another irrefutable argument for the black race in this country, his ability to adopt himself, and his sameness in ideals. When socialism comes and levels all society, if it does, then we will change our viewpoint but as long as caste and clan prevail, as long as education and wealth-along with business intelligence determine the lines to be drawn within the fold we must take pride in our social stratification. MOB A Negro, caught picking a stenographer's pocket on an elevated train in New York city, is arrested. Cries of "get a rope!" and "String him up!" It takes several squadrons of police reserves to keep the crowd from lynching him. Alone, not one person in that crowd would have thought of interfering at all, let alone hang. The mob spirit is contagious, temporary insanity quickly becomes epidemic. That's why a nation does childishly ridiculous things when at war. Health Talks By E. S. WEBER, D. D. S. Any questions regarding subjects in these articles or other dental work should be addressed to the Health Editor of the Appeal. Dr. Weber will publish the answers each week in this column. PAIN This is a matter we all know something about for there is not a person on the face of the earth who does not suffer pain at some time or other. Just what is pain and why do we have to suffer pain. This is probably the most fruitful topic of conversation in a dental office, and yet it is a common one. Hardly a patient takes the dental chair but the question rises to his lips: "Doctor, will it hurt?" Friends, let me tell you that pain (pre-operative) is a wonderful thing it is a blessing in disguise, and well disguised t is at times. Of course you who suffer pain do not agree with me when I say these things, but they are true because when you suffer an ache or a pain Nature is warning you that something is amiss, something is wrong and it must be right. If Nature did not give you this warning, why you would just simply rot and fall to pieces. A great deal of pain is unnecessarily inflicted or needlessly allowed to exist, because people do not heed nature's warning. For the sake of simplifying matters, I will create the following classification of pain and view it from a dental standpoint: (1) Pre-operative pain; (2) Reflex pain; (3) Operative pain; (4) Mental pain. As already stated, pre-operative pain must be considered very valuable factor in the conservation of the teeth. Some people have hypersensitive teeth and the nerves give warning upon the slightest enroachment of decay. This is a most fortunate condition; because under these conditions, a patient seeks relief in ample time. For some teeth decay to considerable depth (sometimes the pulps may be exposed) and yet these teeth never give the slightest discomfort. This is a most unfortunate condition because frequently infection sets in, with teeth teeth must be extracted. From the point of view, remember to heed any pre-operative pain and you will save yourself a great deal of trouble and misery. A majority of people wait until the last minute to come for relief, but they have to undergo much suffering because they waited too long. Reflex pain. This is the pain that is in itself misleading. One thinks that the pain is in a particular area, but it is not. You must exist some place else. For example, I had a patient who said that an upper molar tooth on the right side had been giving him considerable trouble and he could not sleep nights. I found on examination that the teeth were in good condition and free from decay, but in his lower jaw I found a wisdom tooth that was in a hopeless condition. I extracted this tooth and the patient got immediate relief. So it was not the upper tooth at all. This is re-impacted. Impacted and unruptured teeth are frequently the cause of such pain. Operative pain is important because the thought of it keeps many away. But there are some operations that can be performed painlessly but not. It is not. All cases are not alike and all people are not alike. Some people have more resistance than others more will power and more endurance. Some people are nervous and less able to cope with the healthy. So one can readily see that the operator can not do the same for everybody, because they vary as well as their conditions vary. Operative pain in my mind is a thing of chance, but it is not. If the patient of course a little depends upon the anesthetic used. I say that a little depends upon the anesthetic used because if the patient gets into his mind that he is being hurt or that he needs help very much. But if the patient will say that that isn't going to hurt and the operation is going to come out all right, it will (try that some time). Operations are generally performed with a general anesthetic, but it is not always necessary to use a general anesthetic. Post-operative pain is unavoidable in some cases. It all depends upon the primary condition of the patient. If you have a swollen, sore, and inflamed area to operate in it is likely to be painful after the operation. We have many agents that we use to stop pain. In some instances patients have not suffered any pain after their operation, and some suffer very little if any. Mental pain is really sad because people make things worse by there thots; by their impressions and by their imagination. If people would be more serious, so will evils there would be less suffering. People actually tortured themselves with their minds. Friends do not be alarmed when you have pain but be thankful that you have it and - come immediately, come in the right frame of mind and every thing will be lovely. GIRL AND SCALP REUNITED Was Left Behind on Farm After Accident When Young Woman Was Rushed to Hospital, Covington, Ky.-Thelma Baker, sixteen years old, of Newport, and her skull and scalp are reunited. They were parted for a period of several hours and by a distance of many miles. Thelma was interested in the working of a corn grinder. She was peeling into the machine when her curts got entangled in the grinder. The machine tore the girl's scalp from her head. She was rushed 20 miles to the Booth Memorial hospital here, but in the excitement her scalp was left behind. There was a dash at breakneck speed back to the farm and back here again. Surgeons by a skillful operation, replaced the scalp on Miss Baker's head, using adhesive plaster to bind the wounds.

CHAPTER VI- Stewart's horse comes to the ranch with a note on the middle rail of the fence. He goes to the animal.

CHAPTER VIII- Learning to bear him been hurt in a brawl at Christmas, and knowing her brother's fondness for him, coming visits him and persevering him to come to the ranch as the bone of her cowboys. see the many business details of Her Majesty's Rancho and to keep a record of them. Madeline found the course of business training upon which her father had insisted to be invulrable to her now. It helped her simulate and improve the practical details of cattle husbandry, but forth by the blunt Stittillow, she established an extensive vegetable farm, and she planted orchards. The climate was superior to that of California, and, with abundant water, trees and plants and gardens flourished and bloomed in a way wonderful to behold. Here in the farming section of the ranch Madeline found employment for the little colony of Mexicans. Their lives had been as hard and barren as the dry valley where they had lived. But as the valley had been transformed by the soft, rich touch of water, so their lives had been transformed by help and sympathy and work. The children were wretched no more, and many that had been blind could now see, and Madeline had become to them a new and blessed Virgin. Madeline looked abroad over these lands and likened the change in them and those who lived by them to the change in her heart. It may have been fancy, but the sun seemed to be brighter, the sky bluer, the wind sweeter. Certain it was that the deep green of grass and garden was not fancy, nor the white and blossom, nor the blush and perfume of flower, nor the sheen of lake and the futtering of new-born leaves. Where there had been monotonous gray there was now vivid and changing color. Formerly there had been silence both day and night; now during the sunny hours there was music. The whistle of prancing stallions pealed in from the grass ridges. Innumerable birds had come and, like the northward-journeying ducks, had they tarred to stay. The song of meadow-lark and blackbird and robin, familiar to Madeline from childhood, mingled with the new and strange heart-throbbing song of the mocking-bird and the pleuring blast of the desert eagle and the melancholy moan of the turtle-dove. Stillwell's interest in the revolution across the Mexican line had manifestly increased with the news that Gene Stewart had achieved distinction with the rebel forces. Thereafter the old cattleman sent for El Paso and Douglas newspapers, w bent to ranchmen he knew on the big bend of the Río Grande, and he would talk indefinitely to anyone who would listen to him. There appeared to be no doubt that the cowboy had performed some daring feats for the rebels. Madeline found his name mentioned in several of the border papers. When the rebels under Madero stormed and captured the city of Juarez, Stewart did fighting that won him the name of El Capitan. This battle apparently ended the revolution. The capitulation of President Díaz followed shortly, and there was a feeling of relief among ranchers on the border from Texas to California. Nothing more was heard of Gene Stewart until April, when a rebel named John had arrived in El Capitan, evidently hunting trouble. The old cattleman saddled a horse and started post-haste for town. In two days he returned, depressed in spirit. Madeline happened to be present when Stillwell talked to Alfred. "Wal, it's sure my strangle about Gene. It's got me locsed. He arrived in El Calon jeek or so ago. He was trained down like as if he'd been ridin' the range all winter. He had plenty of money. He was the Grassers was crazy about him. Called him El Capitan. He got drunk an 'went roar' round fer Pat Harew. COLLEGE "Gene Walked Up an' Down, Up an' Down, All Day and Night, Lookin' for Pat." You remember that Greaser who was plugged last October—the night Miss Majesty arrived? Wal, he's said, an' people say that Pat is a-goin' to lay that killin' onto Gene. I reckon there's jest talk, though Pat is mean enough to do it, if he had the nerve. Anyway, if he was in El Camo he kept mighty much to himself. Gene walked up an' down, up an' down, all day an' night, lookin' for Pat. Then Genet met Danny an' tried to get Danny drunk. An' he couldn't! What do you think of that? Danny hasn't been drinkin'—wouldn't touch a drop. I'm sure glad of that, but it is so amazing' strange. Why, Danny was a fish for red liquor. I guess he an' Gene had SPEAK HERE MAY 25 The condition of the colored people in the South, the activities of the Ku in the South, the activities of the Ku of the topics to be discussed by Representative Leonidas C.

Congressman Dyer, who comes on the floor for the by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will some pretty hard words, though I don't sure about that. Anyway, Gene went down to the railroad an' he got on an engines, an' he was in it when it pulled out, and he杰ed an idea. Miracle! I can杰e get him Gene Stewart. the cowboy I want for my foreman. He can manage this bunch of cow-punchers that are driven'me dotty. What's more, since he's fought for the rebels an' got that name kiCapitan, the Greasers in the country will kneel to him. Now, Miss Majesty, we haven't got rid of Don Carlos an' his vagueos yet. I don't like the looks of things a little bit. I'll tell you now that Don Carlos knows somehow' about the cattle I lost, an' that you've been losin' right along. Thet Greaser is hand an' glove with the rebels. I'm willin' to gambte twhen he does get out he an' his vaqueros will make another one of the bands of guerrillas that are harassin' the border. This revolution isn't over yet. It's杰est commenced. An' these gangs of outlaws are goin' to take advantage of it. We'll see some old times, mebbe. Wal, I need Gene Stewart. I need him bad. Will you let me hire him, Miss Majesty, if I can get him straightened up? "Stillwell, by all means find Stewart, and do not wait to straighten him up. Bring him to the ranch," replied Madeline. Thanking her, Stillwell led his horse away. Madeline had discovered that a good deal of her sympathy for Stillwell in his hunt for the reckless Stewart had insensibly grown to be sympathy for the cowboy. It was rather a paradox, she thought, that opposed to the continual reports of Stewart's wildness as he carused from town to town were the continual expressions of good will and faith and hope universally given out by those near her at the ranch. Stillwell loved the cowboy; Florence was fond of him; Alfred liked and admired him, pitted him the cowboys swore their regard for him the more he disgraced himself. The Mexicans called him El Gran Capitan. Madeline's personal opinion of Stewart had not changed in the least since the night it had been formed. But certain attributes of his, not clearly defined in her mind, and the gift of his beautiful horse, his valor with the fighting rebels, and all this strange regard for him, especially that of her brother, made her exceedingly regret the cowboy's present beaten havior. Meanwhile Stillwell was so earnest and zealous that one not familiar with the situation would have believed he was trying to find and reclaim his own son. He made several trips to little stations in the valley, and from these he returned with a gloomy face. Madeline got the details from Alfred. Stewart was going from bad to worse—drunk, disorderly, savage, sure to land in the penitentiary. Then came a report that hurried Stillwell off to Rodeo. He returned on the third day, a crushed man. He had been so bitterly hurt that no one, not even the court, could understand what had happened. He admitted drawing Stewart falling to influence him; and when the old cattie got so far he turned purple in the face and talked to himself, as if dazed: "But Gene was drunk. He was drunk, or he couldn't he treated old Bill like that!" Madeline was stirred with an anger toward the brutal cowboy that was as strong as her sorrow for the loyal old cattleman. And it was when Stillwell gave up that she resolved to take a hand. She yearned to have the faith in human nature that Stillwell had in Stewart. She sent Nels, mounted upon his own horse, and leading Majesty, to Rodeo in search of Stewart. Nels had to bring Stewart back to the ranch. In due time Nels returned, leading the roan without a rider "Tep, I shore found him," replied Nels, when questioned. "Found him half sobered up. He'd been in a scrap, an' somebody hed put him to sleep, I guess. Wal, when he seen the roan hose he let out a cell an' grabbed him round the neck. The hose knew him, all right. Then Gene hugged the hose an' cried—cried like—I never seen no one who cried like he did. I waited awhile, an' was jest goln to say somethin' to him when he turned on me red-eyed, mad as fire. 'Nels, he said, 'I care a h—l of a lot fer the hose, an' I liked you pretty well, but if you don't take him away quick I'll shoot you both'. Wal, I lit out. I didn't even gt it to say how to him." "Nels, you think it useless—any attempt to see him—persuade him?" asked Madeline. "I shore do, Miss Hammond," replied Nels, gravely. "I've seen a few sun-blinded an' located an' snake-polished and skunk-bitten cow-puncher in my day, but Gene Stewart beats 'em all. He's shore runnin' wild for the divide." Madeline dismissed Neis, but before he got out of earshot she heard him speak to Stillwell, who awaited him on the porch. "Bill, put this in your pipe an smoke it—none of them scrape Gene has hed was over a woman! It used to be that when he was drunk he'd scrap over every pretty Greaser girl he'd run across. Wai, Gene's scrappin' now is jest to git shot up his self, for some reason that only God Almighty know." Nels' story of how Stewart wept over his horse infenced Madeline powerfully. Her next move was to persuade Alfred to see if he could not do better with this doggedly bent cowboy. Alfred needed only a word of persuasion, for he said he had considered going to Rodeo of his own accord. He went, and returned alone. For Missionary Service By E. W. Gilles. 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 example, as a volunteer. As my work is entirely unprofessional and unofficial I pay the full rate for traveling and other expenses. "Majesty, I can't explain Stewart's singular actions," said Alfred. "He has changed terribly. I fancy his once magnificent strength is breaking. It—it actually hurt me to look at him, I couldn't have fetched him back here—not as he is now. Bill did all any man could do for another. We've all done our best for Stewart. If you'd been given a chance perhaps you could have saved him. But it's too late. Put it out of mind now, dear." Madeline, however, did not forget nor give it up. Days passed, and each one brought additional gossip of Stewart's headlong career toward the Yuma penitentiary. For he had crossed the line into Cochise county, Arizona, where sheriff kept a stricter observance of law. Finally a letter came from a friend of Neil's in Chiricaua saying that Stewart had been hurt in a brawl there. This epistle incensed a letter to Stewart from his sister. Evidently, it had been found upon him. It told story of illness and made him realize that he had written this letter without Stewart's knowledge, thinking Stillwell might care to help Stewart's family. Stewart had no money, he said. The sister's letter found its way to Madeline. She read it in tears in her eyes. It told Madeline much more than its brief story of illness and poverty and wonder why Gene had not written home for so long. It told of motherly love, sisterly love, brotherly love—dear family ties that had not been broken. It spoke of pride in this El Capitan brother who had become famous. It was signed "your loving sister Lett." Not improbably, Madeline revolved in her mind, this letter was one reason for Stewart's headstrong, long-continued abatement. It had been received money—after she had meant so much to mother and sister. Be that as it might, Madeline immediately sent a bank-draft to Stewart's sister with a letter explaining that the money was drawn in advance on Stewart's salary. This done, she impulsively determined to go to Chiricauha herself. Nels, when Madeline asked him to accompany her to Chiricaua, replied, reluctantly, that he would rather follow on his horse. However, she prevailed over his hesitancy, and with Florence also in the car they set out. For miles and miles the valley road was smooth, hard-packed, and slightly downhill. And when speeding was perfectly safe, Madeline was not averse to it. And when the car stopped in the wide, dusty street of Chiricaua Nels gladly tumbled out. "Nels, we shall wait here in the car while you find Stewart," said Madeline. Nels crossed the railroad track and disappeared behind the low, flat houses. After a little time he reappeared and hurried up to the car. "Miss Hammond, I found him," said Nels. "He was sleepin'. I woke him. He's sober an' not bad hurt; but I don't believe you ought to see him, Mebbe Florence—" "Nels, I want to see him myself, Why not? What did he say when you told him I was here?" "Shore I didn't tell him that. I jest says, 'Hulou, Gene!' he an' he says, 'My Gawd! Nels! mobebe I ain' glad to see a human bein'. He asked me who was with me, an' I told him Link an' some friends. I said I'd fetch them in. He hollered at thet. But I went, anyway. Now, if you really will see him, Miss Hammond, it's a good chance. But shore it's a touchy matter, an' you'll be some sick at sight of him. He's layin' in a Greaser hole over here. Likely the Greasers he been kind to him. But they're shore a poor lot." Madeline did not hesitate a moment, "Thank you, Nels. Take me at once. Come, Florence." They left the car, now surrounded by galing-eyed Mexican children, and crossed the dusty space to a narrow lane between red adobe walls. Passing by several houses, Nels stopped at the door of what appeared to be an alleyway leading back. It was filthy. "He's in there, round the first corner. It's a patio, open an 'sunny. An', Miss Hammond, if you don't mind, I wait here for you. I reckon Gone wouldn't like any fellers around when he sees you girls." "Florence, you wait also," said Madeline, at the doorway, and turned in alone. And she had stepped into a broken-down patio littered with alfalfa straw and debris, all clear in the sunlight. Upon a bench, back toward her, sat a man looking out through the rents in the broken wall. He had not heard her. Madeline did not recognise Stewart. The side of his face exposed to the sun had blackened and gripped and scolled. There were bits of alfalfa in his hair. His shoulders sagged. He made a wretched and huppeless picture sitting there. Madeline divined something of why Nels shrank from being present. "Mr. Stewart. It is I," Miss Hammond, come to see you, she said. He grew suddenly perfectly motionless, as if he had been changed to stone. She repeated her greeting. His body jerked. He moved violently as if instinctively to turn and face this intruder; but a more violent movement checked him. Madeline waited. How singular that this ruined cowboy had -pride which kept him from showing his face! And was it not shame more than pride? "Go away," he muttered. "Mr. Stewart!" she began. "I have come to help you. Will you let me?" "For God's sake! You—you—" he choked over the words. "Go away!" "Stewart, perhaps it was for God's sake that I came," said Madeline, gently. "Surely it was for yours—and your sister's—" Madeline bit her- tongue, for she had not meant to betray her knowledge of Letty. He graned, and, staggering up to the broken wall, he leaned there with his face hidden. Madeline reflected that perhaps the slip of speech had been well. "Staycraft, please let me say what I "Stewart, please let me say what I have to say?" He was silent. And she gathered courage and inspiration. "Stillwell is deeply hurt, deeply grieved that he could not turn you back from this--this fatal course. My brother is, also. They wanted to help you. And so do I. I have come, thinking somehow I might succeed where they have failed. Nels brought your sister's letter. I--I read it. I was only the more determined to try to help you, and indirectly help your mother and Letty. Stewart, we want you to come to the ranch. My cow MYERS "My Cowboys Are Without a Capable Leader. Will You Come? boys are without a capable leader. Will you come?" "No." he answered. "But Stillwell wants you so badly." "No." "Stewart, I want you to come." "No." His replies had been hoarse, loud, furious. All his motions, like his speech, had been violent. "Will you please go away?" he asked. "Stewart, I cannot remain here longer if you insist upon my going. But why not listen to me when I want so much to help you? Why?" "I'm a d—d blackguard." he burst out. "But I was a gentleman once, and I'm not so low that I can stand for you seeing me here." "When I made up my mind to help you I made it up to see you wherever you were. Stewart, come away, come back with us to the ranch. When you are among friends again you will be your own old self. The very fact that you were once a gentleman, that you come of a good family, makes you owe so much more to yourself. Why, Stewart, think how young you are! It is a shame to waste your life. Come back with me." "Miss Hammond, this was my last plunge," he replied, then dependently. "It's too late." He least make an effort, Stewart. Try! "No. There's no use. I'm done for. Please leave me—thank you for—" He had been savage, thenullen, and now he was grim. Madeline all but lost power to resist his strange, deadly, cold finality. No doubt he knew he was doomed. Yet something halted he—held her even as she took a backward step. And she became conscious of a subtle change in her squalid hole. Madeline Hammond, earnest enough, kind enough in her own intentions; but she had been almost imperious—a woman habitually, proudly used to being obeyed. She divined that all the pride, blue blood, wealth, culture, distinction, all the impersonal condescending persuasion, all the fatuous philanthropy on earth would not avail to turn this man a single hair's-breadth from his downward career to destruction. She was going to fail to help him. She experienced a sensation of impotence that amounted almost to distress. The situation assumed a tragic keenness. And all at once she became merely a woman, brave and sweet and indomitable. "Stewart, look at me," she asked. He shuddered. He was abject, crushed. He dared not show his swollen, blackened face. His fierce, cramped posture revealed more than his features might have shown; it betrayed the torturing shame of a man of pride and passion, a man who had been confronted in his degradation by the woman he had dared to enshrine in his heart. It betrayed his love. "Listen, then," went on Madeline, and her voice was unsteady. "Listen to me, Stewart. You can shake off this desperate mood and be a man." "No!" he cried. "Listen to me again. Somehow I know you're worthy of Stillwell's love. Will you come back with us—for his sake" "No. It's too late, I tell you." "Stewart, the best thing in life is faith in human nature. I have faith in you. I believe you are worth it." "You're only kind and good—saying that. You can't mean it." "I mean it with all my heart," she replied, a sudden rich warm suffusing her body as she saw the first sign of his softening. "Will you come back—if not for your own sake or Still-well—then for mines?" (To be continued next week) WEEK'S REGORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITAL.

BOHN The Refrigerator That Keeps Foods Best at Minimum Cost The "Bohn Syphon" system insures constant and rapid air circulation which is the real fundamental underlying principle of perfect refrigeration. It keeps foods delightfully fresh and wholesome and overcomes the mingling of odors. The eleven thicknesses of wall construction used in the "Bohn Syphon" keeps the heat out and the cold in, reducing ice consumption to a very minimum. Because it preserves foods best, is very easily taken care of and costs so little for losing, the "Bohn" has become recognized as the most efficient of all refrigerators. ---this Trunk ```markdown ``` None but the best materials ever Garland product.

Elkhurst 2956 Dale 0482 TOURISTS KEEP OUT OF GERMANY Berlin—Foreign tourists, especially those from North and South America, are so weared and annoyed by the passport, police and housing regulations in Germany that only the most resolute are remaining in the German cities. The influx of outsiders is so slight that the German press, backed by complaining hotelkeepers, merchants, restaurantkeepers and theater managers, is criticizing the central government for the difficulties it has placed in the way of obtaining passport visas, and the municipal government for its heavy tax on foreigners and the exacting police regulations. Costs $4 a Day. The simplest sort of single room in a Berlin hotel of the second class now costs the equivalent of $4 a day. This comes about through the 80 per cent tax which the city of Berlin imposes on the room charges to foreigners. The result of this is hotels are practically empty and hotel men are facing bankruptcy. Tourist agencies no longer refer visitors to hotels, but send them to boarding-houses. In Hamburg and Bremen there is as much complaint about overcharges in hotels as there is in Berlin. During the recent Liepzig fair American buyers were charged extra extortion rates that many of them left in disgust without making any purchases. The troubles of foreigners begin when they attempt to get vices to enter Germany. For a time only persons with documents proving they are coming for business reasons were granted permission. Students and tourists who desired to visit Germany were curtly refused. Complaints Pour In. Complaints poured in from Americans in London, Paris, Rome and Vienna who had come to Europe with the intention of visiting Germany, but who had failed to get vices in New York before leaving. There apparently has been some relaxation in the vise policy. Business men now realize that by requiring foreigners to limit their stay in German cities, and by preventing others from entering, the financial situation has been made worse than ever. Prices on practically all manufactured articles in Germany were up to the world level, so there was no reason to keep visitors out on the ground that they would profite if admitted. The uncertainty about the status of foreigners in Germany, coupled with the difficulties of crossing the Rhineland because of the train service interruptions incidental to the French occupation, has been widely heralded in western Europe. France and Italy have used it to advantage in their efforts to attract and retain visitors as long as possible and return visitors as long as possible. Nevertheless the cities still collect their high taxes on foreigners, and hotels and shops continue to charge foreigners more than they do Germans. One hotelkeeper defended the practice on the ground that the Germans must increase rates because their hotels are nearly empty. Failure in Lumber, He Becomes Great Chemist Philadelphia.—"No," said the lumber dealer, "your boy is good for nothing in my business. In fact, he is the most miserable failure I have ever seen and will never amount to anything." "Well," replied the disappointed father, "since Emil is too stupid to make a living in lumber, I suppose I might as well let him go to college." So Emil Fischer went to Bonn university and studied chemistry. Here he was recognized as one of the most brilliant and industrious students in the laboratory, and by the time he was twenty-three he had discovered a coal tar compound, known to chemists as "phenyl hydrazine." It was both fortunate and fatal to Fischer. It made him one of the most famous chemists in the world and it brought him disease and death. For the fumes of it are poisonous and constant working with it ruined his health. After he got free from the lumber business and started on his own track he pursued it for forty-five years without interruption or diversion. Many One-Armed Autolesta. Harrisburg, Pa.—There are more one-armed automobile drivers in Pennsylvania this year than in 1922. The state highway department reported that in the first three months of this year 518 special operators' licenses were issued to persons with one arm, as compared with 425 during the same period in 1922.
