S. Infantry were ushered into eternity six years ago, December 11th, 1923, with the bravest of hearts and like warriors bold. The death traps were sprung by their caucasian comrades, and the bravest of hearts and like warriors ed until announced "officially dead" by an ungrateful military authority backed up by a prejudiced democratic administration. Each life as it went forth into the great beyond was a personification of the rarest bravery; a men willing to die in battle, a field, a courage unparalleled in the annuals of history of the U. S. military service. This day, Dec. 11th, although a day of sadness, should also be set apart as a happy reminder that soldiers who loved their race and country were willing to die in battle for a cause, that was and is now sapping the vitals of the nation where exasperating, prejudicial racial animosities are destroying the fabric of our national honor. We must render unto the souls of these thirteen brave men willing to die in battle a race can bestow, as an honor whose martyrdom will never be forgotten. The National Equal Rights League asks all Colored Posts, of the Grand Army, of Spanish War Veterans, of American Legion, of Veterans of Foreign Wars, of Army and Navy Union, and all other veteran and patriotic organizations, of the thirteen soldier martyrs, who were officially murdered by a prejudiced democratic administration. The league urges all these veteran and patriotic organizations, all our churches, all our civic, literary and political societies, also branch Equal Rights Leagues and Citizens or Equal Rights Committees acting separately jointly on behalf of the to hold mass meetings in honor of these soldier martyr heroes on Tuesday December 11, 1923.

A.M.E.CONFERENCE MEET STORM CENTER Bishop Carey and Ira T. Bryant in Tilt on Floor of Stormy Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 22—The Tennessee Annual Conference of the A. M. E. church, which convened here Wednesday, November 7, adjourned Sunday night when Bishop A. J. Bryant took about 100 ministers to their fields of labor for another year. The conference was held in St. John church, the oldest of the denomination in Tennessee, and while for the most part peaceable, yet some stiffened took place. One of these was a tilt between Bishop Carey and Mr. Ira T. Bryant, general secretary of the Sunday School Union, in which these gentlemen called each other out. The election of delegates to the general conference was another storm center. About three hours were consumed in this matter and four ballots taken in electing the five delegates as follows: W. G. W. Williams, J. C. Caldwell and A. L. Pinkston. This is considered an administration delegation; that is, one endorsing the administration of Bishop Carey and favoring his return to this district for another quadrennium. Most of the candidates Bryant were defeated. Bishop Carey read the appointments Sunday night and ten ministers were transferred to other conferences. WALTON KLANSMAN ASSERTS WITNESS Oklahoma City, Okla., Nov. 24—W. T. Tilley, former cyclops of the Muskegue (Okla.) Ku Klux Klan, testified before a legislative investigating committee that Gov. J. C. Walton apologized for paid an initiation fee of $10 and took the oath of the organization, according to a report of the committee made public. The assertion created intense interpersonal discussions about the charges the charged criminal friends and the expected denial of Walton is bound to make the situation more tense than ever. Colored Tenants Suffer High Rent; Commission Aids Washington, D. C., Nov. 22.-Colored tenants of this city, who have been the greatest sufferers from high rents imposed by heartless landlords, are finding considerable aid and comfort in decisions now being handed over to the Commission. In not a few instances substantial reductions have been granted by the commission in meritorious cases wherein it has been shown, after a full hearing, that great injustices would have been incurred by renters under increased rents, sought by the Commission and their agents. The enforced movement of colored tenants to high-priced properties and rentals during the past few years has been one of the economic problems of this community, and with a long line of favorable decisions which will continue to influence the winter season will be bereft of many of its hardships to colored householders. KID NORFOLK DEFEATS SIKI IN 15-ROUND BOUT Senegalese Battler Punished Badly by Attack of New York Fighter New York, Nov. 20.—Kid Norfolk, Harlem colored boxer, tonight received the judges' decision over Battles conquered by George Georges Carpentier, flashing, spectacular 5-round bout at Madison Square Garden. Skii proved a wild, free-swinging battler, but he was relentless attack by Norfolk's relentless attack. Siki Proves Game Making his American debut, Siki proved a game, aggressive fighter, but he was obviously not in the best of condition. Norfolk's ruggedness assimilated most of the battler's savage attacks while the Harlem-colored stoker kept stealing onslaught that frequently had Siki in distress. Siki started at a furious pace but tired rapidly under Norfolk's steady jabbing and powerful hooks. Under this withering fire, blood streamed from the battler's nose and from cuts on his eyes and lips. He was groggy on the battlefield, a sorrowful spectacle, but somehow he managed to weather the storm. 12.000 See Fight Siki, whose peculiar ring antics and aggressiveness won him the plaudits of the crowd, rallied spectacularly at times in the last few rounds, notably the 13th and 15th, but these spurs were soon ended and Norfolk appalled. Norfolk's blows in several rounds seemed low. Twice Siki protested and the Kid was warned. More than 12,000 paid $59,854 to witness the fight which was billed for the colored light heavyweight champion and climbing green and climbing jauflight. The ring, he waved to the crowd, caught the popular fancy. He was cheered lustily ever yime he cut loose with a Senegalose "war dance" but these tactics did not bother Norfolk. Siki weighed 172 and Norfolk 174. AUTHORITIES DOUBT DOCTOR'S DEATH (K N E Service) New York, Nov. 22.—Connecticut authorities have cast considerable doubt over the death and burial eight months ago of Dr. Oscar F. Gittens, who is supposed to have died on February 28, in Waterbury, Conn., after an illness of only two days. Dr. Gittens is a graduate of Howard university. He has a brother, Joseph N.

Detective McMullen of Waterburg, Comm., spent several days last week in Cambridge, Mass., where Dr. Gittens was reported to be still practicing medicine. Joseph Gittens, his brother, and others who knew him state that they have absolutely no reason to doubt his death. Scotch "Bookie" Takes in $25,000 Each Day London—Better among the thirty Scotchmen is done on a scale that has shocked members of the house of commons, men who are accustomed to deal with millions of pounds of the government's money every year. A Glasgow bookmaker/admitted to the house committee on betting, appointed to investigate the possibilities of the government placing a tax on horse race betting, that he took in an average of $25,000 a day, or more than $8,000,000 a year in bets. This particular bookmaker operates a credit account system in established offices, and his business comes within the law. SUMMER A CROWN WORK New York.-Arthur H. Fowler, for twenty years clerk and bookkeeper in the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria drug store, died recently and when his will was read it was found that he had left an estate of $40,000 to forty of his fellow employees. Minnesota Historical Society THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS IE AND MINNEAPOLIS THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 QUAKE MAKES PRINCE POPULAR People of Japan Applaud Orders to "Feed Hungry Before Rebuilding Palace." Tokyo.—The earthquake was pretty rough to Hirohito, crown prince regent and future emperor of Japan. But it made him, if possible, even more popular with the people than ever before—and he had already been in more infection by his subjects than any of his predecessors ever were—not even excepting Meiji the Great, whose reign saw the beginning and much of the making of modern Japan. The Ji-shin, which is one way of describing an earthquake without using profanity, busted up the crown prince's wedding and his pet palace, where he had planned to live with his bride, the Princess Nagako Kumi, and it caused some of the imperial counselors to propose that the imperial family remove to Kyoto, the ancient capital, in South Japan. "Nothing dong," said Hirohito. Of course he didn't say it in those words. But his vet was flat. It was straight, direct and to the point. "We were going to rebuild Tokyo, as get the big idea," said he—or approximately that, freely translated. "We're planning a bigger, more beautiful Tokyo. And several million people live here. They're not going to stay in Tokyo. And I'm not—not by a jugful." Stopped Moving Talk. So that was that. And when the story leaked out—and you could hardly expect such a story to stay bottled up very long—it quelled pretty effectively the talk of removing the Japanese capital from Tokyo to Kyoto, or anywhere else. "Well, then," said somebody, "perhaps it will be just as well to go ahead with the imperial wedding—the prince regent and the Princess Nagako were to have been married in November. "It wouldn't be right to allow an earthquake to—ah—to—ah—shall we, say, interfere with the happiness of so auspicious an occasion." "This jihab has jimmed the happiness of an awful lot of people," we say, "since it doesn't seem fair that my happiness could be sought when no many are sure or that the state should spend so much money on a wedding when all the money we can raise is needed for relief and reconstruction. There will be no wedding this fall!" So, again, that was that. "Ob. very well" came back the counselors. "At least-surely at the very least—we may be allowed to order immediate combencement of the work of rebuilding the Kasumagasek palace?" Food Comes First. "No," said Hirohito. "We won't immediately commence the work of rebuilding the Kasumagaseki palace. As a matter of fact, we won't commence it any time soon. Indeed, as I think it over, I have a hunch that it is going to be a long, long time before we rebuild that palace—because, first, we're going to feed the people and build temporary homes for them, and then rebuild the city permanently. And after that is done, if there is any spare change left, you might drop around some afternoon and let me have the lowest quotations on palaces." To repeat, the words are a liberally Americanized version of the rough and ready version of the story that the people of Japan are applauding. But the spirit, the idea behind the actual official orders, is faithfully presented. "Earthquake sufferers first; then I can get married and talk about a new palace," was the word of the regent. Yes, the earthquake has done a good many impossible things. And among its impossibilities was to make crown prince regent more popular than he was before, among his people. Pompton Lakes Gets Navy Gun. Pompton Lakes, N. J.—Through the efforts of Senator Edge and Assembly Manh shielded the borough of Pompton Lakes has received a seventeen-foot navy gun from the War department. The gun will be mounted in front of the Municipal building. Town's Last Bank Quita. Langdon, N. D.-The First National Bank of Langdon was closed by its officer voluntarily. This is the only bank to suspend in six weeks and leaves the town without a bank. Helpful to Students Washington.—The "learn-while-you-sleep" system of radio instruction received credit from the Navy department for the fact every student at the Pensacola air station had made a satifactory mark. Notwithstanding controversy over the efficiency of the system, under which students go to sleep with the receivers over their ears, the Pensacola authorities reported all of those with low ratings had been pulled up through the agency of the subconscious mind, which had absorbed those things missed in the classrooms. City Clerk Says Voting to be Made Easy as Possible City Clerk Henry Olson has announced that beginning January 2, his ce will be thrown open to the voters of the city for the purpose of registering under the new permanent registration law passed at the last session of he legislature. Mr. Olson, who is also to be known as the Commissioner of Registration, has completed plans for inaugurating the system, and expects to open a program of education within the near future. "Under the trims of the new law," he says, "voting will be made so easy and there will be so few demands made on the time of the people that there will be few good excuses for not voting." It is evident that if the people will make a reasonable effort to co-operate with him that the normal vote of the city will be greatly increased. Some fear has been expressed that for the first year or two the effect of the new law will be to cut down the election returns, and this, it is preemptive. The advantages of Mayor Arthur E. Nelson, should he determine to ask for another term. "I am going to make voting as easy as possible," says Mr. Olson. "If it takes fifty clerks to handle and expedite the work, they will be at the service of the people." The new registration day up to within fifteen days of the election, when the books will be finally closed. After that time no one will be allowed to qualify under any circumstances." WOMAN CHARGES GIRL WITH ROBBERY Girl Tells Court Why She Beat Woman Into Uncon- sciousness Columbus, Ga., Nov. 17.—A colored girl, 12 year old, is held by the police in custody here charged with having "brutally assaulted and beat into unconsciousness" Mrs. H. R. Mullins, wife of H. R. Mullins, an officer of the military Raid of unconsciousness, the alleged assault happened Wednesday morning, when the mistress found the girl ransacking the house. "I found that the girl had robbed me of $10," she stated. Upon making discovery of the attempted robbery, Mrs. Mullins demanded an explanation, instead the woman-with her fist and beat her into unconsciousness. Then her cries attracted neighbors, who gave chase to the girl. She was overtaken some distance from the Mullins' home and brought back to the house, where she was turned over to police, it was said, and when she found that I had not completed the work laid out for me on time, she abused me, also the mistress threatened to the house her husband a room, there to remain until my task was completed. "I was making efforts to escape when Mrs. Mullins re-entered the room. I tried to pas her at the door, she hit me. Then I fought the mistress and knocked her down; then I re-raised my hand to the door." Mrs. Mullins screamed: "Stop thief! Catch her! and a lot of white men and women chased me. When they caught me I was slapped and kicked; then they called a policeman and he put me in jail," the girl said. Outsiders Buried in Lot: Results in $10,200 Suit New York.-Margaret Holland is suling Leon E. Bailley for $10,200, alleging that she found the burial plot she had reserved for her family already tenanted. She purchased a plot in Calvary cemetery in 1888, she says, and in 1888 buried her first husband there. After his death she left the bedside of the deceased and the bedside is represented himself to be the owner of the plot and had three persons buried there between 1919 and 1921. When the second husband, Andrew Holland, died, she said she found herself without a place to bury him. Her mental anguish is valued at $10,000 and the $200 represents expenses incurred in placing the body of Holland in a receiving vault. English Wives of Yanks Are Without Nationality London—An English woman married to an American is without nationality in law and without chance of relief, as under American law she remains English, but under British law she becomes an American. A select parliamentary committee has been considering this problem, but is unable to agree. Their proceedings, with the evidence collected, will be laid before both houses. To Build Library in France. New York—Members of the police force have subscribed more than $10,000 for the fund which will be used in the erection of a memorial library building to take the place of the old library of Louvain university, which was destroyed in the war. The campaign within the department is being conducted by policemen who found in the World war. Sold to the Northwest Railway SOAR OVER ICE PEAKS IN PLANE Explorers Cross Lofty Crags in Flying Boat—Wonderful Pictures of Scenery. Spitzerbagen—Flying over jagged ice-clad Arctic mountain crags in a seaplane with "knotching" motor provides the thrill of thrills—it is no sport for one with a weak heart. Such a trip was made by W. Mitteelhofer, a Swiss aviator who has charge of the aviation expedition sent to Spitzerbagen to co-operate with Amundsen in his attempt to fly from Point Barrow to Spitzerbagen. He took with him an ally-metal junker seaplane to relieve Amundsen should the latter be compelled to land in the course of his long flight. Though Amundsen's failure was known before Mitteelhofer reached Spitzerbagen, he made use of his opportunity to make interesting aerial reconnaissance, which he describes in the Neue Zurcher Zeitung in an article translated in the Living Age as follows: Engine Starta to Knock I determined to cross over the Chydenius range, which culminates in crystalline pinnacle of Newtontop at a height of nearly 6,000 feet, and thence across the 50 or 60 miles of mountainous country to Hilinopen strait. My pilot Neumann, was a veteran seplane operator. The great Ice floor lay before us. On both sides vast glaciers, framed in rugged cliffs, descended into the deep blue water. To the northward rose a sea of peaks and pinnacles, whose violet hues stood out with knife-like sharpness against the golden-yellow horizon. To the southward one snowy dome followed another under an azure blue Italian heaven, beyond which our gaze seemed to lose itself in infinity. But what alled our motor? Whenever Neumann gave it more gas it would knock distressing. I left it to Neumann to decide whether we should turn back, but he motioned vigorously ahead, throttled down his motor as much as possible and trusted to his "fyer's luck" not to leave us in the lurch. Take Pictures of Scenery. Take pictures of scenery. We are only 5,000 feet above the sea and Newtonpont still towered above us. When Neumann gave the motor more gas to the high pressure, he began to knock急, so our only encounter was to find a way through the mountain passes, where we were violently topped hither and thither by powerful wind currents. We would glide above deep abysses, skirt, glittering bluish-green precipices, and turn sharply this way and that in order to record on our films as much as possible of the glorious, awe-inspiring scenery on either hand. Neumann performed his task with coolness and courage. For nearly half an hour we threaded our way with many a twist and turn amid the highest peaks of Spitzbergen—in a seaplane! Leaving our lofty mountain companions we were soon speeding over a mighty glacier, where we could easily have made a landing almost anywhere. Only Two Survivors of Ancient Indian Tri Seattle.—The last surviving members of the Chemakum tribe of Indians have been discovered living in one of the old villages of the Clallam tribe along the struts of Juan de Fuca. They are an old man and his sister. They have forgotten almost all of their own language, but Prof. Franz Boas of Columbia university succeeded in 1800 in extracting 1,200 Chemakum words from them. It is believed that centuries before white men came to Puget sound the Chemakum inhabited the whole northern part of the Olympic peninsula and were a powerful tribe. Boy Loses Hand While Feeding Bear in Z New York. — When little Ralph Thomas offered a peanut to polar bear Thomas to two hooves, the huge animal chewed off the boy's hand.

Port Huron, Mich.—Within a few minutes after he had obtained a divorce, Otto Harsen, of Algonac, took out a license to wed Mabel Hansing, also of Algonac. Harsen's wife did not centest the divorce proceedings. U. S. Gob to Lose His Flat Hat Soon Washington — Abolition of the blue, flat hat, which has characterized U. S. bluejackets almost from the inception of the navy, will be recommended to the Secretary of the Navy if a suitable substitute can be found by the board of officers investigating proposed changes in the uniform, it was learned. Disadvantages of the old "sailor" type of headgear, such as the difficulty of keeping it on when the wind is blowing and the ease with which it wrinkles, long have been apparent, but search for a substitute has been fruitless thus far.

Edmead was admitted to the bar in 1901. The charges against Edmead were made by the Brooklyn Bar Association to the effect that when he was retained by Daniel and Emily Browne to buy a parcel of property on Cumberland street, for the lowest possible price, Edmead bought the property from the owner for $6,000, had it put in the name of a dummy buyer when sold it to the Brownes for $6,500.

LOST C220 RESTORED TO OWNER AFTER 3 YEARS Post Office Department Locates Man After Long Search. New York.—How $200 in currency traveled back and forth in the mails for three years looking for its owner, until it finally reached him, is told in a recent post office publication. The loss occurred in Milwaukee, the loser being a midget actor and vaudeville performer. That was in 1920 and the bills were in a wallet, lost in a department store in that city. The wallet contained $280, besides a lot of personal papers. It would appear, says the post office paper, that whoever found the wallet took it for binding, and then placed it in excess of $200 and then placed the wallet with the remainder of the money in a small paper box, and this box, wrapped very loosely in a single thickness of ordinary wrapping paper, secured by a light piece of string, this offered at the post office for mailing. It hore the address of the owner of the wallet. When the package was offered at the post office for mailing, as parcel-post packages are required to be, the receiving clerk evidently requested the sender to write his or her name and address upon it, as required for parcel-post packages, but instead of complying with the request, the writer upon the package the name of without local address, and then deposited the package to go forward in the mails. The owner of the wallet had removed from the address in question by the time the package reached its destination and, as those at the address had forgotten his new one, delivery could not be effected. As a result, the package was treated as undeliverable and notice was sent to the store name which had been written on the package in lieu of his correct name and address, but as this proved to be fictitious, the package was finally sent to the division of dead letters. Opened in the dead letter office, the $50 was found. Using the address on the envelope, he was sent to the fort was made to locate the addresses. He was traced across the continent and even to Germany, and eventually he was located through information obtained from a relative, when delivery was effected. The post office has never been able to find out who found the wallet, or who mailed it to its owner. "Apparently," says the writer, "the finder, though abstracting $50 as a reward which he voted for himself, had some conscience, for he could have retained all of the money as well as but part of it." MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY For You Merchandise from the downtown merchants and hood tradesmen may be quickly and easily if you Shop In The Appeal $2.00 PER YEAR KLAN POWER TO BE KEYNOTE OF ELECTION TALK Ohio and Indiana Will Wage Terrific Fight on Klux Is Johnson's Opinion POLITICAL EMANCIPATION Forecasts a Broad Use of the Ballot by the Colored Migrants New York—The following interview with James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, this city, has been sent out by the E. E. News Service (white) supplying newspapers throughout the country: "Ku Klux Klan will be made an election issue in Northern states by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, informed a representative, "Johnson cited particularly Indiana and Ohio as states where, through migration, the Colored vote would loom large in the next presidential election. Colored people no longer would stick to one party, but would vote for anti-Klan candidates, Johnson quoted. "Political emancipation was urged upon Colored people in a resolution adopted at the association's annual conference recently held in Kansas City, Mo. "The time has come when allegiance to any party on historical grounds, the law requires a pledient, the resolution declared, 'The welfare of the entire Race,' it was ascerted, is 'paramount to allegiance to any political party.'" "Johnson forecast a broad use of the ballot by the migrants, 'even though to many it will be the first cause of disfranchisement in the South.' "These folks, however, will know how to use the vote,' Johnson said. 'The migrants are not ignorant. It takes a strong mind to break away from the homeland—to seek new fields of endeavor. Conservatively captured, 500,000 Colored persons have come this year from Southern states. "They came because they believed there was little hope for them as men and women in the South—little hope for their children. They came beware were in constant fear of their lives." "As to the method of bringing up the Klan issue Johnson said candidates would be questioned regarding their stand. John has a large following both in Ohio and Indiana, where it is indicated, the Colored people will center their fight." ARKANSAS GARVEYITES ARE GIVEN HEAVY FINES Penalties Range From $500 to $1000 and Year in Jail for Disturbances Ft. Smith, Ark., Nov. 21.—All honors for heavy fines for the year in municipal court were carried off last Tuesday when seven members of the U. N. I. A. were given stiff fines and jail sentences. One of the Garveyites jailed while the remaining six were fined $500 and sentenced to jail for a year, following their attempt to restore to their association meeting rooms the charter which had been removed by their president, A. C. Lusk. The U. N. I. A., which was founded by Marcus Garvey for the purpose of restoring to the earth, an Ethiopian nation, suffered from grave dissension when Lusk removed the charter from the hall and removed it to another hall which he had rented. Seven members, J. W. Ross, W. S. Whitney, Samus Ross, Ernest C. Caldwell, Henry Gilbert, McDonald Ross paid the new hall a visit Sunday and when they attempted to return the charter to its original place as per instructions from Marcus Garvey of New York, the grand president, local President Lusk intervened and the police were the next to arrest the cause, he drew a pistol, according to testimony. The others were charged with assault and battery. RICKARD HOPES TO SIGN FIRPO, WILLS New York, Nov. 22.—Tex Rickard has not given up plans to stage a match between Luis Firpo and Harry Wills in Buenos Aires next March or April, despite the colored man's declaration that he would not fight in the final. Defective Page Rickard said he had put the Firpo-Wills negotiations temporarily in the background to give more attention to his winter program, but added that his representatives in the Argentine army were keeping in close contact with situations indicated that there were several contingencies which must be overcome before the way could be cleared for Firpo and Wills to clash below the Equator. There is a possibility that the scene might be shaken to its core by the snowy wood Firpo would not object, although the agreement he signed with Rickard before battling Dempsey provided that the match be held in the Argentine. A THANKSGIVING HOMILY A peculiar chance brought to our notice this week a copy of The (New Kork) Independent issued on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 1874. And, under the above caption, the editor, Henry C. Bowen, wrote words that are as appropriate today as they were when written forty-five years ago, and express our sentiments better than we can, so we reproduce a portion and say, "Them's our sentiments." "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord," sung the minstrel king, and his song seems to imply that the occasion of thanksgiving is never wanting. This is a lesson we do not readily learn." Any man who this day has honest work and reasonable wages may well eat his turkey with thankfulness and drink his tirosh with a merry heart. And not least among the causes of our gratitude is the opportunity afforded us of dividing our portion with those who are in need. The poor we have with us always; and this is not the greatest of our hardships, but the choicest of our blessings. If there is anything that a Christian man feels thankful for, it is the privilege of lifting of the load of some of his heavily-burdened neighbors; of filling homes that were desolate with the light of cheerfulness and the warmth of love; of giving to some sad soul beauty for ashes and garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. The daintiest viand in the most tempting feast will not be half so delicious today as the remembrance that there are other habitations where the feast has been made cheerier and the day brighter by a thoughtful charity. We envy no man his Thanksgiving dinner from whose table is absent that sweetest of all condiments, the gratitude of the poor. WHEN TO STOP ADVERTISING! When a great paper like the Chicago Tribune tells the world that it is the world's greatest newspaper—and not without some good arguments to bolster up its claim—and then adds that it spends more money than anybody else in the game to get more business, it loks as though the time to stop advertising is never going to arrive. That has been our own belief ever since we got our fingers inky for the first time. There never has been a paper that could not add to its circulation or its advertising. Some years ago the Daily News, of Chicago, notified all its big advertisers that they would have to cut down on the space they had been allotted. The News, it was explained, had grown to 36 and more pages every day and the price they got from the readers was not enough to permit of such large issues. They would not cut the news columns and therefore the ads would have to be cut. Later they shot the lineage rate up and took off the limit. Even then, at the tightest time, and we recall those days distinctly, the News did not le up a minute on advertising its features. It kept after circulation just as hard as ever, although it candidly admitted that it was going to lose some ready money by adding circulation. It admitted that it had to keep on its campaign as a paper cannot stand still; it either advances or goes back. And the News does not like to go back. Reverting to the Tribune, its spokesman, James Cleary, head of its business survey department, asserted that if the paper ever got so it entered every home in its field it would still keep on plugging, trying to get the women to buy two papers and keep one at home while the man of the house carried his off to the office. In essence he said that the Tribune would never stop advertising, no matter how large it became. He had one paragraph we liked particularly. It referred to the one-newspaper town and was as follows: "It is not enough to get out a good newspaper. Other men will get out good newspapers, too. If you are to lead you must sell your good newspaper. Even if you have the only newspaper in the community you must sell it—advertise it—if you want to reach the greatest number of people." that line is one that over half of our readers should take to heart.

Deming, president of the United States civil service commission, to would-be applicants for federal employment. In the past year, Mr. Deming said in a statement, 835 persons were added to the commission's "barred list," or roster of those who by their own dishonesty have forfeited the right to compete in civil service examinations. By far the majority of these—ap proximately 700—were declared unsuitable, because of false statements in their applications on such questions as age, education, experience or criminal record. Six offered bribes for federal positions; six forced medical certificates, giving themselves clean bills of health; 28 were discovered cheating in the examination rooms, while two were found distaloy to the government. But these figures, Mr. Deming added, do not reflect upon the character of civil service applicants in general, for more than 200,000 persons were examined during the year. Bridal Ship Reaches New York-Although she had the most adverse weather conditions to contend with, the Scandinavian-American liner Frederick VIII established a speed record between Scandinavia and the United States, her commander said, when the vessel docked recently at Pter 17, Hoboken. The ship, according to her commander, Capt. Frederick Mechlenburg, made the trip in nine days from Christiana and ten days from Copenhagen. The voyage normally takes from ten to eleven days. Captain Mechlenburg said he had gone without sleep many hours when the ship ran into a gate. At times, he said, the wind blew 80 miles an hour and mountainous waves swept the bridge. Among the 874 passengers were 35 Danish and Norwegian "picture brides." Many of the prospective husbands met at the pier.

Hamilton, Jr. Attorney Bed Time Stories on a Pullman Smoker "China's" wife had left him and the separation preyed upon his mind. In the old days he had been a bartender, premier and par excellent, who legerdemain in extracting palatable platitudes from forbidden juices made him famous from coast to coast. He was as well known on Lenox avenue as State street, and if you spoke the term of "China" in Nome or at the Golden Gate, they would ask you: "Which d'ye mean? The country or the bartender?" He was that famous. But his wife had a pull for society and she nagged at poor "China" incontinently and consistently. So "China" quit his job. Tony almost wept when "China" told him he'd have to go. Tony was "China's" boss and friend and loved him like a brother. In fact, everybody seemed to love "China" but his wife, and the famous one would have swapped the whole world for her love. Tony brought his finest cussing combinations into play in the way of protest. A bartending career as artistic as an Angelo was about to be blighted and "China" was many kinds of an emphasized damphool, but the retiring mixer was obdurate. "It's the missus, Tony," he said, "and her wishes must always be respected." Tony would have liked to give expression of what he thought of the missus; but something in "China's" eye broadcasted a cautious "better not." So, "China" went the way of all hte roes. He got him a respectable job here and there, and finally obtained one on the rail. It took some time for him to become accustomed to the work. Lifting a heavy berth was not like juggling a gin-fizz and he suffered. Besides, the money did not come in fast and the service sumed her nagging. She always wanted money. Once or twice he was forced to "tap Tony," as he termed it, for twenty or twenty-five, and that hurt his pride. And, then, his wife just picked up and left. That was too much for "China" and his mind would not stand the burden. He became a harmless, poor-witted fellow who wandered around the old haunts, carrying a bag, imagining he was "going out on his run." Everybody had a kindly word for him and he never suffered, save for that one place in his heart that only one thing could fill. "What are you doing, 'China?' Tony asked him one day. "Oh, I'm cooking on the road. Just fixing to go out on my own run now." "Since you're cooking," pursued Tony, "I would be glad if you baked me a cake." "Well, Tone. I might do that," replied the poor fellow. "Wait, I'll tell you what I'll do. I won't bake you a cake. I'll bake you a pie." And then he went on his way, a smile on his face and waving his hand to old friends. But finally the strain became too heavy for "China." There was a longing that his friends could never fill. His health was failing. The old bag he carried became shabbier and shabbier, and "China" himself was fading away. One day he was missing. Didn't show up all day. Tony drove his big red car down Calumet way where China lived and was gone for two hours. Coming back, he stepped at his favorite watering place. "Have a drink, fellows," he said brokenly, "an' give me one, too! Poor 'China' has gone out on his long run!" COLORED WOMAN FINDS AND RETURNS NECKLACE New York, Nov. 22—Mrs. Mary Ward of 238 Van Horn street, Jersey City, turned over to the police of that city last Thursday a diamond necklace set with 82 stones which she had found at Hudson boulevard and Communipaw avenue.

November 24. 1923 Cousin Buys Tract and Presents It to Audubon Societies. New York.—Eleven and a half acres of wild land which surround the grave of Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay has been purchased by his cousin, W. Emlin Roosevelt, New York capitalist, and presented to the National Association of Audubon societies for a wild bird sanctuary and shrine for bird lovers. The gift has been accepted and plans made for the expenditure of thousands of dollars in carrying out the donor's ideas. This announcement was made in connection with the association's convention at the American Museum of Natural History. Mr. Roosevelt, whose estate adolls the late president's home at Sagamore Hill, has turned over to the Audubon societies "a veritable jungle, an ideal home for wild fowl, and a fitting memorial, to Mr. Roosevelt's love for wild things," said Mr. Pearson. The tract surrounds the Roosevelt tomb in Young's cemetery. A tenroom building nearby has been leased for ten years and will be converted into a bird museum and library for students and pilgrims to Roosevelt's grave. Trees, shrubs and vines which bear fruits birds like best to feed on will be planted on the grounds, although the existing "jungle" will be preserved so far as possible. Bird-feeding grounds, fountains, baths and shelters will be installed in natural settings. A catproof fence was built around the property before it was deeded to the Audubon societies.

Octopus Uses Ruse to Kill Foe in Aquarium Brighton, England.—An octopus and a cormorant were kept together in a huge glass tank at the local aquarium. They became firm enemies and spent most of their time fighting—the cormorant using his bill and the octopus his tentacles. Finally, the octopus, overcoming tremendous water pressure, pulled out the plug from the bottom of the tank and let out six feet of the eight feet of water in it. Then he let the plug slip back into place. Next morning the cormorant swooped down for his morning dip. The usual battle began, and when things became too hot the cormorant, also as usual, made for the floating platform moored to the side of the tank. It was hanging six feet above the waterline; and before the bird could leave the water it was dragged under and killed. Philadelphian Fined $5 for Smoking in Court New York—"Take that cigarette out of your mouth," ordered Court Attendant John Blazer in the Jamaica Magistrate's court. "I won't," responded Rudolph Sheeler, a baker. "I'm her to see Judge Miller. "I can smoke in Philadelphia courts, so I don't see why I can't smoke here." The case was put up to Judge Miller. "It'll cost you $5 to learn that you can't smoke in my court, no matter what you do in Philadelphia," said the judge. "I won't pay it," said Sheeler, still smoking. "Very well. Five days," said the judge.

St. Cloud, Minn,—The blow on the head that knocked Arthur E. Whitney, federal prohibition agent of Minneapo- Us, under the wheels of a beer truck at New Munich, Minn, recently,, frac turing his skull, also turned the pages of his life back five years, it was re vealed here. Whitney was overseas 27 months during the World war, was gassed three times and a victim of aphasia His life after the last gas atiack was a blank. After the war he landed in New York and obtained a Job as a federal prohibition agent. There he met young woman known as Mrs. AnD Whitney, who has lived in St. Paw with him for the last two years, ‘When Whitney, at a local hospital, ‘regained consciousness for the first time since the blow, standing beside the bed was Mrs. Luella Whitney, who married him in Grafton, N. D., in 1912 and who bore him twé‘sons. He sald he knew nothing of Ann ‘Whitney, nothing of the baby soon t arrive, nothing of the almost complete divorce proceedings between himselt and Luella and nothing of how he wai hort. Whitney had a faint idéa that he had been a government dry agent however. He asked his wife how the boys were and apparently did not real ize the passage of time. Physicians say Whitney will re ‘eneee. Mannequins Desert Paris Dressmakers Paris—The threatened passing of the mannequin has become one of the tragedies of Paris. ‘The gorgeous. creatures who trall majestically across the dressmaker's showroom and demonstrate to ma: dame how wonderful she thinks she is going to look In that high-priced gown are becoming alarmingly scarce. ‘The shortage 1s so great that the dl- rectors of several of the leading fash- fon houses in Paris have decided to start a school to provide recruits for their sorely depleted ranks. ‘The reason for the mannequin's disappearance? “South Americans come to Paris and marry them. North Americans come to Paris and put them in the movies, Scandinavians come to Paris and go crazy about them. No won- der we haven't any mannequins,” ex plained one of the dressmakers. “And what's the answer?” echoet one of the few mannequins still ir the game. “It's very simple. To be a good mannequin, you cannot be more than twenty or weigh more thar 115 pounds. You must not be toc short nor too tall. “Also, we live an unreal life, We spend our days in an atmosphere o! elegance and luxury.

Washington.—Bites from a mite, a known parasite of rats, have proved an annoyance to a great many people in the South. The trouble has been Particularly prevalent in certain 1o- calities in Texas and Mississippi, In some instances it has been acute, causing the expenditure of much time and money in efforts to combat it, and, in certain cases compelling the aban- donment of parts of buildings. Outbreak# of this pest, it has been ‘observed, are coincident with the pres- ence of many rats, and the repression of the mite appears to be essentially a problem in rat control. Department Circular at “The Rat Mite Attacking Man,” by F. C, Bishopp, entomologist, recently issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, deals with the life history and habits of the mite and the character of its attack on man, It has not yet been shown that the mites carry disease, but thelr bites are distinctly painful and annoying... Both nymphs and adults attack man freely, ‘crawling and running about over the body, and biting here and there, espe- cially on the upper arms, legs, and around the belt or in other places where there Is some constriction of clothing. In addition to a continuous and en- ergetic warfare against rats, the bulle- tin recommends the cleaning out of all debris and nests and a thorough spray- ing with kerosene. On floors a mixture of 1 part anthracene oil with 2 parts kerosene has been used with success to destroy and repel mites for several days. A fine mist spray of gasoline on cabinets, desks and shelves gives tem- porary relief. Fumigation with hydro- ccyanle gas is also recommended if done ‘by an expert. Fresno Has Smallest .

London, Conn.—Superintend- ent Watters and his water department employees went eeling at one o'clock in the morning recently and they got enough to supply a regiment. From various places in Main, Bank and State streets eels were found packed together in water pipes and traps. * “No water!” was the ery heard on all sides. At each place, instead of water, eels were found in abundance. Fire plugs about the city were flushed and hundreds of eels were ejected into the streets. Superintendent Watters sald that St 1s strange how they suddenly decided to stop up the water mains, Instead of an eel parking here and there they seemed to march onward in a phalanx and to descend in thousands all about the same time, Nelther does he know of any way to prevent it, A quarterinch mesh at the reservolr ts designed to keep eels and other fish from the mains, Eels get through the mesh when they are small, and when once inside they thrive and grow so large that they cannot get back. When the faucet Is opened und the pressure starts the eels are thrust up against the water meters.

Dale St. near University Ave. St. Paul A recent tarmer-banker conference, held at Fargo, North Dakota, as one of a series being held under the aus- pices of the Agricultural Commission, American Bankers Association, to ald in developing permanently better agri- cultural conditions, was productive of & number of valuable and definite measures for a program of action. Reduction of wheat acreage: It was recommended that the farmers reduce acreage 30 per cent from that of 1928. Diversified farming: The conference declared that the ultimate success of agriculture depends upon proper di- versification. g Orderly marketing: Financial sup- port was approved to assist the order- ly marketing of farm products. Encourage Homeseekers: Support was pledged to all movements de- signed to encourage home seekers. Reocmmendations for immediate re- lef: Bankers and business men were urged to assist in providing storage facilities at once to meet the needs of thelr home communities. The bank- ers were urged to accept storage cer- tificates for loans on the stored grain and if thelr reserves prevented them from carrying the storage certificate ft was urged that the Intermediate Credit Banks be asked to discount these certificates for the banks. Resolutions looking toward legisla- tive relief were adopted, and a special committee appointed to follow them up.

MERCHANT CREDIT EXPENSIVE Investigations indicate that farm- ers may be materially benefited by demonstrating to them the losses they incur through the use of mer. chant credit instead of bank credit. In conferences arranged by the Agri- cultural Commission, American Bank- ¢rs Association, it has frequently de ‘veloped that farmers in many {n- stances are thoughtlessly carrying heavy burdens of mercantile credit. The cost to farmers of merchant credit often runs as high as 60 per cent annually, The United States Department of Agriculture has made surveys of credit and insurance con- ditions in North Carolina, in which eight hundred farmers were inter. viewed, and which showed that 433 were relying on merchant credit. The average cost was 26.6 per cent, fig- ured annually. The average rate paid by white farmers was 21.8 per cent, while that for the colored was 32.2 per cent. This difference is attrfbur- ed to the smaller average amount of credit used by the colored farmers, the greater risk involved in credit to them and to an inclination to take advantage df the 1ess fortunate class.
