Uses Five Languages Artists' Ability Aided Greatly by Accompaniment of Sidney Williams. A rare musical treat was in store for the appreciative audience that greeted Belle Salter Tyler and Sidney Williams in the Evening of Song last Friday, November 19, at Pilgrim Baptist church, sponsored by the Earnest Workers' club. To have been present at that concert was to carry away a lasting impression of talent that soared far above the ordinary, and ranked with the best artists of the professional and operatic stage. Voice Shows Richness. It is not often that a pure contralto voice the size and richness of Belle Salter Tyler's shows such smoothness and evenness throughout her entire range. Mrs. Tyler sings by the old Garcia Italian method; the method taught to the great opera singers by Madam Marchesi, the noted teacher of Paris. The costume of the Spanish group added greatly to the interest and brought to the people the meaning of the Spanish and Mexican music.

Leader of Mob Sentenced to Life Imprisonment; Others Get Four to 20 Years. Judge Denounces Mobs Lynchers Overpower Sheriff but Wife Tears Mask From Face of One Gangster. (Preston News Service) Douglas, Ga., Nov. 26.—A telling blow at lynching was struck Wednesday when Judge Harry D. Reed of the superior court sentenced the ring-leader of a band of Georgia lynchers to life imprisonment and meted out sentences of from four to twenty years' imprisonment to eight others who pleaded guilty. The mob had lynched David Wright, white, who had been imprisoned on a murder charge in connection with the death of Mrs. Zelphie Rollins. Wright was taken from the county jail and his body riddled with bullets. Major Brown, brother-in-law of the slain woman, confessed to being leader of the mob and was sentenced to life imprisonment. The following were sentenced to prison terms ranging from four to twenty years: Archie Tanner, George Lott.

COLE DIES AT ANCKER HOSPITAL AS RESULT OF SHOOTING AFFRAY AT HOME OF NOBLE HAUSER Ed. Cole, 11 Iglehart Ave., died at 5 p. m. Tuesday at Ancker hospital as the result of a shooting affray at the home of Noble Hauser, 257 1/2 Rondo St., Monday evening. A man named Grigsby, reported to be employed by the Great Northern railroad, is being held in close quarters at the police station under suspicion of having done the shooting. Mr. Hauser and Miss Ida Combs, who were in the house at the time, were also arrested. Miss Combs was released Thursday morning. It is alleged that the shooting occurred because Cole was slandering the characters of friends of Grigsby. No date has yet been set for the hearing.

Bandits Loot Colored Club The Corkscrew, a colored club at $558\frac{1}{2}$ Rondo St., was held up by two unmasked colored men last Tuesday morning at 5 a. m. The hold-up men escaped with a considerable sum of money taken from the drawers and the cash register. Two men who were in attendance when the bandits entered were told at the point of guns, "Cross your hands and keep your mouths shut!" The attendants complied and one robber made a search for money while the other watched the clubmen. As yet the bandits have not been apprehended by the police. Bodies of John Brown's Cronies Were Dissected (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) Winchester, Va., Nov. 26.—The bodies of three members of John Brown's band, which raided Harpers Ferry in 1859, were dissected by students of the Old Winchester Medical College, Dr. William P. McGuire, revealed here before his recent death. Dr. McGuire told, on his deathbed, that the students were eager for practice and specimens went out and dug up the corpses almost immediately after the burial. Because of the intense feeling against the men at that time no protest was made by any one in Winchester. It was widely known throughout the town that the students had exhumed the three bodies.

Paper Box Strikers Appeal To Colored Scabs To Join Union New York, Nov. 26.—A special circular entitled, "An Appeal to all Colored Workers," has been put out by the Paper Box Makers' Union under Manager Fred Caiola. The union is striking for recognition in all shops and improved working conditions. Colored strike-breakers have been brought in in some cases and are said to have even been made to assault white and colored pickets. The union declares that it does not discriminate against colored workers in any way and protects them in their jobs in peace times when employers urge the union to remove colored workers from shops. Colored members of the union are said to be staunchly fighting with the rest of the members for union conditions. The union circular appeals to non-union colored workers to consider that the employers will cast them aside when the strike is over, because they have no union to protect them, and urges all to join the union fight. Brutus Cassius Given Berth on All-City Team When the mythical all-city high school football team was picked last week, Brutus Cassius, colored star at Mechanic Arts high school and veteran of two seasons, was given the place at left guard. This is the first time a colored football player has made the all-city team since 1917. Players on this honor team are selected by the four high school football coaches of the city. Brutus was a member of the committee which planned the annual "M" banquet held at the St. Francis hotel last Monday, and was the only colored athlete to attend the function. He will finish at Mechanic Arts in February, and plans to enter the University of Minnesota for the winter this year. At the University, he will try out for the football team as soon as soon as he is eligible to do so. N.Y.

There are today several diseases that roll up a greater death total, but no disease that begins to approach tuberculosis in the havoc wrought at the most productive period of life, the period when people are rearing families and are actively engaged in life's work. A study of the tuberculosis situation provides substantial evidence that the fight against tuberculosis is still a long way from won. We are in danger of becoming overly optimistic as we study the general record of America's progress in the campaign against tuberculosis, but a deeper study of the facts will show that unremitting effort is necessary if we are not to lose the advantages we have gained after a great struggle. A Costly Disease. Tuberculosis orphans more children and breaks up more homes than any other disease. Tuberculosis is considered to be the most destructive and universal disease that affects mankind.

LARGE NUMBERS VIEW MINSTREL Entertainment and Dance of Men's Episcopal Club at Coliseum Finds Favor. Between 600 and 700 people attended the minstrel and dance given by the Episcopal Men's club of St. Philip's P. E. church at the Coliseum, Lexington at University Ave., last Monday evening. The early part of the evening, entertainment was provided by a surprisingly well turned out minstrel show under the direction of Mr. Claude Jackson. Individual skits and the chorus ensemble were featured Dancing followed, to music furnished by the justly famous Wally Erickson's Coliseum orchestra. Mounted on a sort of raised dais in the center of the huge floor, the orchestra, which broadcasts every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday in addition to its regular work, gave an excellent performance. Placards placed at intervals around the hall furnished spots for convenient meeting places. "Kum on Inn," "Get Acquainted Corner," and "Park Your Gum Here," signs drew as many people as the conventional New York, Atlantic City, etc. St. Philips thanks all those both from Minneapolis and St. Paul who attended the entertainment and helped to make it a success. The chairman of the committee announced that the club expected to give a similar entertainment each year at the same place, thanks to the hospitality of recently elected Commissioner John Lane, the owner of the Coliseum.

Three women in case Persistent discrimination against colored patrons by the Lyceum theater, Wabasha at Ninth st., has resulted in a case that is being prosecuted by the county attorney on behalf of Miss Elizabeth Murray, Mrs. Margaret Chambers Martin, and Miss Murray's mother, Mrs. W. J. Murray. Complaints against the theater charging that it would not allow colored patrons to sit downstairs have been made to the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. for the last two months. "No Seats." Colored patrons have stated that they were always told that there were no seats available downstairs, and if they protested strongly enough, were told that colored people could not buy seats downstairs. Mrs. Minnie Ward. Mrs. Margaret Martin, and Miss Elizabeth Murray applied at the ticket window for downstairs seats on Thursday, Nov. 18.

"Bang! and another Redskin bit the dust," and Rah! the greatest of all carnivals ever put on in Minneapolis by any individual or organization ended Saturday, November 20, as a grand success. Hundreds and hundreds of eager and thrift-seeking people swarmed about and in the Elks' Hall, Sixth and Lyndale Ave., nightly to partake of the festivities of the Ames No. 106 and the Daughters of the Minnehaha Temples' Carnival and Fun Week held from November 15 to November 20, inclusive. The scene was a typical western one of the early days, the committee all being dressed in true western style. Men and women walked about with money by the handful and money was stacked up in the booths that was carried away in bushel baskets. There was a grand rush for the valuable and useful articles that were given away. Each night five dollars in gold was given away and Saturday night a grand prize of $50-00 was awarded. There was something for everybody to do and everybody had a good time. What next, "Bill?" GRADING, GRAVELING COST HEAVILY, FIGURES PROVE Grading done on Minnesota trunk highways during 1926, required moving an average of 16,749 cubic yards of dirt per mile, according to recent figures given out by the State Highway department.

"Entered as second class matter Nov, 7, 1925, at the post office at St. Paul, Minn., under the act of March 3, 1879" STAND BY THE LADIES Sneaking discrimination in St. Paul theaters has too long been a part of the accepted community life. Ordinarily it is so subtle and so smoothly done that it is impossible to detect it unless one is looking for a manifestation of some unfriendly spirit. Rumor has had it for some time, however, that the newly established Lyceum theater has adopted an open policy of refusing seats downstairs to colored patrons. Amusing stories are told of how light colored people who attended the theater alone sat wherever they wanted, but were refused parquet seats when they were with their darker associates. Heretofore no one has had the courage or the desire to do more than become insulted when the situation has arisen, and the managers of the theater must have been having a good snicker up their sleeves over the spinelessness of the colored population of St. Paul. Their discriminatory practice seemed to be accepted as docile as it was efficiently administered. All this until last week, when three women not only protested, but supported their protest with a complaint to the county attorney, a man who is paid to uphold the course of justice in the community. The trial will reveal some interesting things both in the attitude of the county attorney and the future unhampered pursuit of pleasure by the Negroes of St. Paul. We want the case to go against the theater, of course. Discrimination in a public amusement place is not only unjust but is also unlawful. It should be stopped absolutely if that is possible, and if that is not possible, it should be checked and made difficult to execute. A very short time ago, a suit was brought against a restaurant proprietor who had refused to serve some young colored women. Now comes this prosecution of a theater. These are good signs. Each time a case of discrimination arises, it should be doctored with the medicine of court action. If this were the case, restaurant proprietors, theater managers and other owners of places for public patronization would become hesitant about adopting a "policy" toward colored patronage. They would grant the same unquestioned rights to Negroes that they accord other classes of people. The reason that discrimination exists here at all is within, not without, our group. We are insulted, and we go back for more. Every other people would never cease fighting if given the same treatment we have come to expect. We have protection in the law. We have certain guaranties which are inalienable. We have the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to which we pledge money and which pledges us to fight for our legal rights. Let us use these tools at our hand to beat back the tide of prejudice flowing from the South. Comment We commend the judge in Douglas, Georgia, who recently condemned the leader of a mob to life imprisonment and gave the other members prison terms ranging from four to twenty years. We commend him even though the person who was lynched was white, and there is no telling what the result might have been if the victim had been colored. Such sentences as the one meted out to these men will do much to stop the prevalent lawlessness which has swept the South and taken its toll in more lynchings for the first eight months of this year than were committed during all of 1925. Even the South is beginning to see itself in the light of perspective, and some of the more daring newspapers of the section are pointing out the evils of the condition which exists there and which expresses itself in periodic lynching. The bloody tale of Aiken, S. C., has caused more adverse newspaper comment in the South than has ever been elicited before. Editorialists have set South Carolina afire, and must long ere this have caused Governor McLeod's ears to burn. These white journalists need not have any fear of being treated as were the colored editors, Cole and Warley, in Kentucky. No elaborate court proceeding will be gone through with to prove them guilty of "speaking out of turn and of the wrong things." They, as well as the Georgia judge, will not have turned against the legal machinery of their respective states. They will merely have aroused the desire for blood in a group which has already proved that it can slake that desire by shedding blood ruthlessly. And so, we praise these papers and this judge for fair attitudes; we hope that they may both continue their aggressive careers, but we advise them from cold Minnesota that they had better take precautions against their mob-spirited, hot-blooded, masked white brothers. The world today is looking for men who are not for sale; men who are honest, sound from center to circumference, true to the heart's core; men with conscience as steady as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth reels; men who can tell the truth and look the world right in the eye; men who neither brag nor run; men who neither flag nor flinch; men who can have courage without shouting to it; men in whom the courage of everlasting life runs still, deep and strong; men who know their place and fill it; men who know their business and attend to it.—Selected.

A. C. P. "TROPIC DEATH" By Eric Walrond. Published by Boni & Liveright, Inc., 61 West 48th Street, New York City. Price $2.50. "Tropic Death" is a series of vivid pictures of the West Indies and Central America, pictures of the hot, devastating summer, when "the sun had robbed the land of its juice and queezed it dry;" when "frogs gasped for air, their white beasts like fowls, soft and palpitating." Pictures of the coming of the rain, splashes of rain, the earth murmuring under it. "Gone the dust. Red mud flowed over the land." Pictures of the tropic sea. "Sometimes it was so blue it blinded you. Another time it would turn with the cannon roar of the sun, red." Pictures of the housing of the workers at Colon. "The row of lecherous huts, the faces and flanks of tenements" from which one looked down onto a galvanized roof "that the sun bristled." Pictures of peasant huts, of an insect life that crawls over squirming bodies, of sickness and poverty and death. Always pictures of death. For the title of this volume foreshadows its contents. Each tale ends with the end of a life. It may be Beryl, her skinny body lost in her crocus bag frock, eating the dust of the earth in a time of famine, later lying dead, her stomach resembling "a wind-filled balloon." It may be the little boy Gerald, his father a leper, he soon to follow him to Palo Seco; or Ballet killed by a marine, or Ernest, diving for money and eaten by a shark. Of one thing you may be assured as you start in with a new sketch, stark tragedy will be your portion, and death by honorable or dishonorable means your end. Only once do you have a bewildering surprise, once the villain not the virtuous, is taken. Poverty, sickness and sorrow, these are the lot of the black people who move through "Tropic Death." Whether it is typical or not, certainly each tale rings true. A sad picture of these British tropics. What a contrast to what Vandercook found in Surinam. One questions whether the difference is a matter of the temperament of the authors or whether as Vandercook believes, savagery presents finer life in the tropics than civilization. Wasp Larva Feeds on Carcass of Tarantula The common tarantula which is so dreaded by man has as one of its most deadly enemies a mere wasp, nowhere near its size. Dr. Alexander Petrunkevitch, professor of zoology of Yale university, has made a detailed study of the habits of this digger-wasp and its victim. This species of wasp feeds her offspring on an exclusive diet of tarantula. As soon as the wasp is ready to lay her egg, she goes in search of prey. She is guided by sight of the burrow of the tarantula, which supinely submits while the wasp grasps one of her legs between her mandibles and inserts the poison sting into her side. With the tarantula thus paralyzed, the wasp cleans herself carefully, licks the oozing blood neatly from the wound, and drags the unconscious victim over to a grave which she has already dug in advance, Borgalike, for the occasion. The tarantula is stuffed into the grave and the wasp lays her egg on the "corpse." She covers the opening with earth and goes away. The paralysis affects the entire body and stops the heart. Nevertheless a gradual recovery takes place, but the tarantula cannot escape because the earth has been packed too tightly over her. When the larva emerges from the wasp egg it feeds on its paralyzed provision until it is old enough to leave its underground birthplace. Device That Combines Field Glass and Gun A field glass gun has been devised which serves the purpose of both a light gun and a powerful glass. A short barrel is rigged between a pair of telescopes, and a bar with a recoll pad extends to the forehead to take the "kick" from the discharge. If a heavy caliber is used, a shoulder stock can also be provided so that the shooter will not suffer too great a shock. The telescope gun does better work than the ordinary rifle telescope because it gives the advantage of a pair of binoculars and is much lighter and more convenient to handle. The old rifle telescope, which has become fairly common, does not allow enough light to reach the eye, so that its best use is confined to target shooting. A deer hunter in the woods is hardly able to distinguish an animal he has seen when he heights through the telescope. Two well-constructed telescopes, mounted as a part of the gun as in this device, should prove of great value, and may replace the old type, just as binoculars have replaced the telescope in a great many uses of the latter instrument. The Young Women's Club of St. Philip's Church met with Mrs. Garnet Harris on Friday evening. Mesdames Henry Johnson and Louis Moore were the guests of Mrs. Lillian McKnight at the meeting of the Twin City Matrons' Club on Wednesday afternoon.

Mrs. James Hughes was hostess to the Twin City Junior Matrons on Friday afternoon. Wouldn't Be Bluffed by "Reserve" Officer During the early part of the World war there was considerable hard feeling between some of the regular navy men at the submarine base and those of the naval reserves at San Pedro. Many of the salty recruits of the regulars had—and showed—a feeling of superiority over the reserves, whose camp adjoined the base. One morning a salty recruit who had about two weeks' service in the regular navy was doing sentry duty at the submarine base gate when the commanding officer of the reserve camp passed by. The sentry failed to salute him. The commander was a retired regular navy officer and a stickler for naval etiquette. "Why did you not salute me?" asked the commander. "I did salute you when you passed about an hour ago, sir," answered the recruit sentry, who had read somewhere in the naval regulations that he was supposed to salute an officer the first time he met him, but had not read on to where on sentry duty he was to salute an officer whenever he passed. "You are supposed to salute me every time I pass," thundered the reserve commander. "Who do you think you are, and how do you get that way? You're only a reserve," answered the sentry. —The Periscope. Acadians Returned to Get Hidden Treasure When the Acadians were driven from their homes in what is now Nova Scotia in 1755, by the British and Colonial troops from New England, their expulsion came so suddenly that they made haste to bury their valuables, hoping that at some time they might return for them. Some of them did return but others, it would appear, were not so fortunate, for at various times, pots and chests containing money and other valuables have been uncovered. There is a story well known in the region about a family living on the north shore of Cumberland basin in 1834. One evening members of the family saw a boat anchored about a mile from land and speculated as to its mission. Next morning it had gone and a little later it was discovered that a block of stone that served as a doorstep in front of the house had been moved. Beneath where it had lain was the imprint of a three-legged pot, doubtless having contained valuables left by the Acadians nearly a century before.—Montreal Family Herald.

OPEN SATURDAY AND MONDAY EVENINGS (Continued from page 1) tume in Caller Herrin was rather ludicrous, the character of the song was tragic rather than humorous. Mrs. Tyler's voice brought out the pathos of the lives of fisher folk. In fact, her deep insight in the interpretation of all her songs showed her great artistic ability. Especially to be commended was the diction in five languages. Accompanied by Artist. The accompaniments by Sidney Williams were a surprise to those who have known him only as a planist. His work was of great assistance to the singer. Their work together was a perfect whole. The appreciative audience was unanimous in its praise of the work of these high-class artists, and are hoping that they may be granted an opportunity to hear them again in the near future. This recital was one of a series of entertainments to be given by Pilgrim Baptist church clubs, the proceeds to be applied to the Building Fund, according to George James.

Three men accused of having participated in the lynching pleaded not guilty. They were Jack Lastinger, John Strickland and W. Tildon Smith. Their cases will be tried later. All the defendants were young men and their wives and children clustered around them in the court room, making a great show of weeping and despondency. "Lynching is a menace to the rights and liberties of the American individual, and should be regarded so by every intelligent community in the United States," Judge Reed declared. "It is as much out of place in our modern civilization as would be the burning of wiches." The Wright lynching was the first in Georgia this year. Shortly after Wright had been confined to jail in connection with the death of Mrs. Rollins, at whose home he had been living, a band of masked men rushed into the office of the county jail and surprised the sheriff, who, at the time, was unarmed. As the masked men were hurrying their victim out of jail, the sheriff's wife is said to have torn the mask from the face of one of them. After the investigation was well under way, Robert Bullard, an alleged participant in the lynching, turned state's evidence. Authorities have taken pains to keep Bullard away from the trial. Abbie Brown, wife of Major Brown, is in jail after having been convicted of murder in connection with the death of a colored restaurant keeper. She is also charged with attempted jail breaking.

DISCRIMINATION AT NEW THEATER CAUSES ACTION bought, the doorman refused to allow them to sit in the seats they had paid for. They were told to get their money back. Immediately the party went to the county attorney's office where warrants were obtained naming the doorman and cashier at the theater. These two people were arraigned last Saturday and plead not guilty. The trial date was set for yesterday. Miss Murray in commenting on the case spoke for all the party which had been grossly insulted by the theater tactics. "We have no intention of dropping the case," she said, "because we believe that there is a moral principle involved here which it is our duty not to overlook." and round table discussion of problems to be met in the rearing of our children.

Mr. Southard volunteers to come north and appear before Governor Smith of New York to argue against extradition of Mr. White should extradition be demanded by Governor McLeod.

A sworn affidavit has been sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at 69 Fifth Ave., signed by J. Murray Lane, a white man who was in court when Demon Lowman was acquitted and immediately afterward saw "law enforcement" officers "jugging around the jail," clearing away automobiles. The affidavit in full reads as follows: South Carolina, Aiken County. Personally appeared before me J. MURRAY LANE, sworn says, that on the afternoon and evening of October 7, 1926, immediately after Demon Lowman had been declared Not Gulty in Court of General Sessions at Aiken I was in and around Alken Court House at Alken, S. C., That Policeman Jas. Woodward came out and ordered all cars to move out from around the jail and schoolhouse. I saw juggling around the jail by the officers, Nollie Robinson, A. D. Sheppard, Pink Gaddy, Ed Andrews, and some others, I did not know. All of them appeared very SORE and MAD. This was between sundown and dark, right after court adjourned. I went on home and did not know that the three Lowmans had been taken from the jail and lynched until the next morning, but I sure was expecting to hear it, from what I saw the evening before. N. Y. World Active. The four names mentioned in the affidavit are among those sent to Gov. McLeod by Mr. White. 3. The New York World, continuing its inquisition into the lynching, in special dispatches published conspicuously on its front page, is arousing the press and the entire state of South Carolina. In its issue of today, The World prints telegrams from South Carolina editors showing that most of the white dallies condemn the lynching and are demanding punishment of the lynchers. As a sample of the comments telegramed to The World by South Carolina editors, are the following: Pierre H. Fike, Editor Spartanburg Journal: "The Alken lynching is one of the foulest blots on the honor of South Carolina. . . . Those who participated in the Alken lynching know in their hearts that they are cowardly, brutal murderers. . . . The punishment of the guilty parties ought to be the business of every South Carolinian." Charles O. Hearon, Editor Spartanburg Herald: "Every man who respects law and order should demand that the mob members be punished." R. Chariton Wright, Editor Columbia Record: "The Alken lynchings stand out as the most ferocious and abhorrent crimes committed in South Carolina during the many years of my residence here." A number of editors, however, re- sent "outside intrusion" and predict there will be no convictions no matter what the evidence uncovered. If what people think about us was subtracted from what we think of ourselves, the result would be about four times what we actually are. Patronize Our Advertisers Elkhurst 3473 Elk Tailoring Co.

ADMISSION 50c --- TUBERCULOSIS TAKES BIG TOLL IN FRUITFUL YEARS (Continued from page 1) property damage through traffic accidents. Tuberculosis is the only highly infectious disease among the chief causes of death. It is six times cheaper to prevent tuberculosis than to cure it. 15 to 44 Dangerous Age. Mortality statistics in this country show that tuberculosis ranks first among young women and is more common in this group than any other group, male or female. Nearly two-thirds of all deaths from tuberculosis occur during the period between 15 and 44 when a person is of greatest economic value. One out of every four deaths from all causes during the productive period of life (15 to 44) is caused by tuberculosis. Workers Are Victims. Two per cent of the population of this country at any given time is sick, and one per cent of the population at any given time is sick with tuberculosis. Every year more than 275 million days are lost from work on account of sickness among the 42 million people engaged in gainful occupations in the United States. This means a loss of six days a year per man employed and nine days a year per employed woman. The majority of those ill with tuberculosis in this city at this time are between the ages of 20 and 50, for tuberculosis more than any other disease takes its victims from the ranks of workers. Tuberculosis is the most frequent cause of death in 15 out of 19 occupations where men are employed. There are 4,071 cases of tuberculosis on record at present in the tuberculosis division of the Minneapolis Health Department. Another word for "failure" is selfishness"—the fear that if you work overtime or do more than you must, some one else besides yourself will benefit.

Although the whites have voted themselves consolidated rural schools, with up-to-date buildings and equipment valued at $9,461,051.00, there is not one such school for Negroes in the state. The state has spent for white teachers' homes $729,750.00 and not one cent for Negro teachers' homes. Many Mississippi counties are reported to run their Negro schools for only four months in the year, although in the same counties may be found consolidated rural schools for whites running nine months. For the only colored college in the state, the legislature declined to make an appropriation of $100,000 to meet an offer of a similar sum from a benevolent organization, although the legislature recently appropriated about $5,000,000 for the white colleges of the state.

AUDITOR ASSISTS PUBLIC SCHOOLS AUDITOR ASSISTS PUBLIC SCHOOLS Annual Distributions to All Counties Made; Ramsey Given $167,873.80. The biggest state public school "melon" in the history of Minnesota was sliced this week when Ray P. Chase, State Auditor, affixed his signature to eighty-seven warrants covering annual and supplemental school aid. The warrants issued represented a total of $6,163,028.40. These warrants, bearing the signature of Mr. Chase and the State Treasurer, will be mailed to the various county treasurers as soon as the auditors of the same report their November tax settlements. This particular state "melon" is listed on the State Auditor's books as "special aid to state public schools," and under the law is distributed annually among the counties of the state. As soon as each county reports its November tax settlements, a warrant is issued by the State Auditor, the county treasurer of which deducts the amount transmitted to the state. As stated, this year's distribution of special school aid is the largest in the history of the state, exceeding 1925 by $73,789.76. The amount to be distributed among the school districts of Ramsey county is $167,873.80, a check for which will be mailed to the county treasurer as soon as the November tax settlements are forwarded to the State Auditor. PEONAGE CASE GIVEN HEARING Four Employees of Wilson Company Held After Testimony of Cotton Picker. Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 24.—In the judicial hands of Lester H. Brenner, U. S. Commissioner, rests the fate of four men, employees of the R. L. Wilson Company, of Wilson, Ark. who are charged with peonage as a result of a complaint made by Bud Powell, a cotton picker. It is on his testimony, given Thursday, that the government hopes to have James Crane, general plantation manager; Jesse Greer, deputy sheriff; Robert Douglass and Tom Crane, held to the grand jury. Powell testified that he was "arrested" in Memphis, October 10, carried back to Wilson, where he was jailed. He said they released him when he promised he would pick the rest of his cotton and that from the time of his "arrest" until his escape in Memphis he had never faced a justice. The commissioner has taken the case under advisement and will announce his findings later. The fellow who paddles his own canoe is passed by the one who gets friends to help him build a motorboat.

Dedicated to the promotion and welfare of the American Legion in general. Leslie Lawrence Post in particular. Shortly after the signing of the Armistice the American Veterans of the World War began the effort towards some kind of permanent Organization. A Caucus was held at Washington on March 7th, 1919 and another at Paris March 15-17, at which time the ground work was laid. The actual recruiting of members began April 7. A final caucus was held at St. Louis, Mo., May 8-10 and a temporary constitution was adopted and general policies were formulated. Milton J. Forman, Chicago, presided at the Paris caucus and Henry D. Lindsley, New York City, was Chairman at St. Louis. The first National Convention was held in Minneapolis, November 10-12, 1919. A constitution was adopted, national officers elected and permanent headquarters established at Indianapolis. Franklin D'Olier, Philadelphia, was elected National Commander. The organization was chartered by an act of Congress, September 16, 1919. The 1920 convention was held at Cleveland and Frederic Galbraith, Jr., was elected National Commander. He was killed in an automobile accident during his term, John G. Emery, Grand Rapids, Mich., succeeding to office. 1921 convention, Kansas City, Hanford McNider, Mason City, Iowa, elected Commander. 1922, New Orleans, Alvin Owlsley, Dallas, Texas, Commander 1923, San Francisco, John R.

Chicago, Nov. 22.—Tiger Flowers, world's middleweight boxing champion, won a referee's decision over Sailor Eddie Huffman of Los Angeles in a 10-round boxing match at the Coliseum tonight. Flowers won so handily that the contest was one-sided and Referee Jimmy Gardner had no hesitancy in raising the Georgia Negro's hand at the finish. Flowers won eight of the 10 rounds, setting a furious pace in the first six, that kept Huffman bewildered. In the sixth, however, Huffman nailed Flowers with a solid right to the chin that sent the Negro back on his heels and made Flowers much more careful in the next round. Flowers conceded 10 pounds in weight to the Pacific coast fighter, scaling 168 pounds, while Huffman weighed 178. Chuck Burns of San Antonio, Texas, light heavyweight, scored a technical knockout over Al Allegrini of Los Angeles, in the sixth round of a scheduled eight-round fight. Allegrini, after being floored three times, was unable to respond to the bell at the beginning of the seventh round. Bob Lawson, Negro heavyweight of Birmingham, Ala., and Jim Savage of Chicago, fought a 10-round draw, but the crowd booed the decision, evidently believing Lawson had won. BIGGEST MOMENT OF MY BIGGEST FIGHT One would think that the biggest moment of my static life must have come when I won the middleweight championship from Harry Greb in Madison Square Garden. It really was not, though. That big moment flashed the first time I fought Greb in Fremont, Ohio, August 21, 1924. It was a ten-round, no-decision bout, and I was training to make the middleweight limit, despite the fact that the only way I could win the title under those conditions was a knockout. Mr. Walk Miller, my manager, informed me that I must come in over the limit of the class. "Tiger," he said to me, "I want you to win this fight, but not by too much of a margin. The big thing is to get a bout to a decision, with the championship at stake, and if you go too far ahead tonight we'll never get it." I could see this point, and it was well taken. But I wasn't sure I would be able to win by a great margin, even if I wanted to, for Mr. Greb was one of the static marvels of the game, and had lost only two or three decisions in some 300 fights.
