has been given her freedom. She
was arrested in Wenatchee on a
charge sworn to by Superintendent
of Schools n. D. McKillip. Her re-
lease is due to the arrival of the
books for which she took orders and
received the money.
Miss Needles, who is a handsome
young woman, canvassed Chehalis
county last summer, taking orders
for books from various school direct
ors. She received warrants in pay
meht. These warrants were cashed,
but the books were not delivered.
She was located by the authorities
and later arrested. Deputy Sheriff
Royce went after the young woman
taking her to Montesano.
Yesterday word was received that
number of the books had arrived
and that the remainder were on the
way.
Miss Needles told Prosecuting At
tOrney Campbell that she was employ
ed by a Mr. Curtis and woman
named Smith, who were in partner
ship. She received $40 a week and
her expenses. All the warrants she
turned over to Miss Smith and knew
nothing concerning the business. If
the books were never delivered, she
knew nothing of the matter and was
surprised when she was arrested.

MAKING A HOME.

Sometime ago, THE COLO
RADIO STATESMAN advised our
people to buy homes. Conditions
then were becoming such that col
ored family could not rent desir-
able properties. The elapse of time
has srnot tended to improve condi-
tions, rather, it has served only to
accentuate the previous observa-
tions of this paper. This very very
unfortunate conditions of affairs,
while entailing needless ignomy
upon highly respectable members OF
our race, has resnulted in the great
ly increased number who are pur-
chasing homes. This is essentially
a land of homes. Places where the
humblest citizens can own and oc-
cupy as his own. The laws and GUS
toms tend to discourage the large
landed estates. The founders OF
our government realized the dig
nifty of owning property, and when
they proclaimed the imperial dig
nifty of American citizenship it car
ried with it the elevation OF the
home of the humblest to the level
of the castle of the richest. 70 own
a home means much self-denial to
the laboring man and woman. 1t
means pleasures forgone and long
hours of labor. But the possession
of a home means better citizens,
nobler men and women, and from
them must come higher ideal OF
government. The conditions IN Den
yer are no different from those pre-
vailing in the Eastern and South
ern cities. Race prejudice is forcing
the masses of our people to BUY
homes if they would live in any de-
gree of modern comfort and ease.

earnings is making a strong effort
to buy home. And ri ght here the
Colorado Statesman, always mind
full of our peoples interest, desires
to advise them. 1t is equally un-
fortunate that our people ALL
want to live do,cn to,Cn. They want
to buy where the business portion
of the city is right at their door.
To do this is as much mistake as
not to buy at all. Denver is a rap
idly growing city. Its retail and
wholesale districts are spreading in
all directions and taking in the dis
tricts heretofore offered colored
buyers. Our people require time on
practically all their purchases and
before they pay for an inside home,
down town, they find themselves
hemed in by big warehouses and
business blocks. Go out into the
suburbs and buy.

SUBURBAN HOMES.

Denver is large city. 1t is spread
over large expanse of territory.
Its suburbs are beautiful and pos
sess ALL the modern conveniences
found down town. Our street rail
way system reaches in all directions
and offers service to its patrons
unequalled by any other city. The
telephone system is complete and
brings the suburbanite in touch
with down town life. Here will be
found gas, water, and electricity
| ready to contribute their share to
the comfort and pleasure OF ALL
who choose the fresh air of the sub
urbs to the close conditions down
town. Another feature equally i'm
portant as more healthful homes, Is
| that the buildings are comparative
| ly new and the purchase price IS
low. with reasonable terms. This
is a rare opportunity for our peo-
pie and those who are wise will loose
no time in getting out where they
can have more room, purer air,
plenty of water, and better houses.
Our people must get out into the
open where they will have the
healthiest surroundings. In the
down town tenement districts, the
air in the houses is close and foul
and it is little wonder that more
do not die. Many come to Colorado
seeking health and with a sublime
faith in our climate settle in these
districts. What they should do is

in the open air. Raise garden

affords a ready market for all such
products. Denver needs and will
