The signs and wonders of the houss

last quarter century. Many Of them
were picturesque and diverting. Few
Of them were taken seriously enough
TO be harmful.
It is easy to trace several Of them

A group OF them, for example, had
to do with the approach of an unex-
pecbed guest The scissors or a lmifs
sticking up straight in the floor, a
dropped dishcloth, or a long, floating
stem in a cup of tsa---all these fore
told arrivals. They had the agreea-
Bile double effect of keeping the house

forgotten.
Anothergroup of superstitions rests
rests upon the thrifty habits of for
mer times. To pick up pin brought
good luck. To neglect to nufd cans
die until it was wasted by weeper
was sure. to involve misfortune. An
overabundance of fairgrounds in the
cup spoke of careless measure, and
so threatened debt. A second helping
of food before the first was eaten fore
told an undesirable beggar.
The woman's mind if left to itself
turns naturally to believe the make-be

unreason against her reason. The

nate Thursday, November 30, as
Thanksgiving Day this year. 1t al

last Thursday in the month. This

five, instead of four Thursdays. The

theatrical managers and those in
charge of college football games TO
settle this Doubt SO that definite ar
rangaments could be made for the

CHARLES SUMNER.

January 9Th was the one hundredth
anniversary of his birth. At sunrise
the people gathered at his grave, and
at MONDAY and through the afternoon
and on until almost midnight the
meetings continued to do homage to
his name.
How many men now in public office
will be thus remembered and hon.
ored long years after they are gone?
No one can answer that question, but
themselves. Sumner said: 1.-THE only
basis for fame is service"
Never did the country need Sum-
ners more than now. But Strait Is

few there be that find it."-The Daily

SEGREGATION.

Rev., DIR. Earnest Lyon evidently
knows much about segregation. He
knows that he and bunch OF minis
terial grafters segregated the politi-
cal purse and opinion Of the Negroes
of New York City and dispensed it
from his pulpit, and was effectual In
RELOCATING some real valuable mate
rial of the Republican Party. Yet he
says that If white churches would ad-
NIT Negroes to membership with
equal privileges, very few colored
pastors could be maintained in color
ed pulpits." Would he be one Of
those pastors who could be main
tanned?
Segregation Is natural in any peo-
pie, but it Is a matter of choice.
Quarters, districts and sections have
been held apart by people themselves.
1t Is a natural condition. Birds Of a
feather flock together. We do not
admit the right Of forced conditions
without the consent of the governed.
But these threatened endorsements
should awaken the Negro, and cause
him to realize the opportunities that
are in his reach, and grasp them, by
learning how to do something and &C.
cumulate something. Begin at the
bottom.

OUR OBJECT.

We desire to state again that the
object of the Albanian is to pub
lish the news and help in the work
Of education and protection of the
Negro people. Those who write up
long accounts Of their lives and
their social standing, etc., Tor get
their friends to do SOY, and expect a
great newspaper spread, must ex-
pect to pay for the space at regular
advertising rates. Going around in
this community misrepresenting the
truth does not change this rule. Ne
groes who feel 1t a disgrace to have
their names on the subscription roll
(as a paid subscriber) of Negro pa
pers, should ask white editors to pub
lish their social news and give them
big write ups, or pay for 1t in Ne

LET Us BOOST
The BERRY CULTURE

The Tribune acknowledges ve:,
pleasant call, on Friday, from T. W
Lowe, editor of the Ferndale Record
Brother Lowe, through his public
alton is strongly advocating berry
culture in this Valley. Listen to wha
he has to say, in his last issue re-
garding this important matter:
II believe that in ten years from
this date land in the Nooksack valley
will command as great a price as iht
present price of land in the Puy allu
valley. And what will bring this
about? The same causes that exist
in the Puyallup. Our land is better
our climate and our market faciltie-
the same. Berry culture made their
values; Berry culture will make our
values. Values on land are based up
on it's productive capacity-no more
no less.
Land today in the Puyallup valley
, is worth $1,000 per acre. Berry-cu-
ture has made this value. 1t is worth
that amount because when planted 10
berries it will bring handsome returns
on that amount. Now, If you plant
five acres here to berries, in four
years the patch will be worth to
you $4,000. You doubt this? Well,
let us see. The land at that time
should net you $500 an acre per an
num-$2, 500; and that is snug in
come on $4,000. And much of this
land may be made to yield $500 per
acre. and even more. 1t is true, W.
have much to learn in berry culture.
We must start right--have the right
variety, method of cultivation, Drun-
ing, marketing, etc. But We can 10
this. The Puyallup people had the
same task, and they conquered IL
Each may help the other, and united
we can accomplish much. We should
hold public meetings for the exchanse
of ideas and the diffusion of know
ledge. The Record will publish IRON
time to time instructive articles, ana
it seems the way should be clear Tor
the man who is willing to work and
learn.
I'VE now have over go acres listed
and by little boosting we should
have at least 100 acres by next week
Help lis boost this important indus
try, and by so doing boost the value
of your own and your neighbours pro
perty."
