army horses and mules, after having
seen service in foreign countries, sold
to INSCRIPTIONS horse dealers. Every
one of them are marked with the
United States army service mark and
1t is a disgrace that they should be
hitched up to scavenger wagons, ash
and brick carts.
Il have seen horses sold that have
seen years of honorable service, and
every soldier must feel the injustice
of the treatment they are receiving,
especially in country like ours,
where there are thousands of acres of
land lying idle in Virginia, Texas and
Western forts. Why couldn't these
animals be allowed to spend the rest
of their days at these places on the
pension roll Of Uncle Sam instead OF
being sold for the paltry sum of SIS"
Officials of the war department who
have command of the army rules

and say that if permitted by law it
could be easily arranged to find a
comfortable home for the worn-out

FARMERS TOLD HOW TO
USE THE APPLE CROP

r. HE plant Industry bureau of the de-
i partment of agriculture has de-
cided that the apples of the country
are not sufficiently utilized for food
purposes and has issued bulletin of
advice to the farmers, telling them
how to use the stock that is of too
poor grade for the general market
1t pays special attention to the ''evap-
grafton" of apples as being particu-
larly valuable in using up the fruit
that might ordinarily go to waste
1t points out that the portion of a
fruit crop which is of too low grade
to market in the ordinary way can
often be made to pay at least large
part of the expense of maintaining
the orchard or fruit plantation If it is
converted into some other form or
handled in some way other than that
practiced with the better grades. The

formerly pastor OF Shorter Chapel is
being continually used in these days
for some high position in the A. NJ. Z.

to these predictions, the pastorate of

fated for the stepping stone to higher
things. One general officer In the

WE WANT NO COLOR LINE
RAISED IN APPOINTMENTS

Whether Governor Buchtell will ap-
prove the barber examiner bill, re-
mans to be seen at this writing. Yet

the news of the sending of com
mittee by the white BARRIERS union to
protest against the appointment of
a colorcd man on the board of ex.
amlners. should the bill be approved,
The legislature just closed has lent

seems likely that the barber bill was
meant to do actual good and not to
be the vehicle of race hatred. The
barber business is literally sprinkled
with colored men. In the smaller cit
les we monopolize it in many cases.
That there is active opposition to col.
ored BARRIERS being represented on
the board Is easily prophetic of in.
tentlonal injury to colored BARRIERS
from an examining board composed
wholly OF white men acceptable to
the BARRIERS union.
Governor Buchtel cannot afford to
overlook the interests OF the colored
BARRIERS to satisfy white BARRIERS. The
public wants good service and does
not demand that colored servitors be
at the mercy of men who have already
shown their enmity in such signal
manner.
