CAvEIN KILLS FOUR GIRLS
Farm Near Black Greek 10 Scene of
Fatal Gravel Pit Accldent-Bodies
Found by Searching Party.

Green Bay-Four little girls, aged
8 to II years, were suffocated be-
meath tons of falling sand in the
cavein of a gravel pit on the Barth
farm near Black Greek.
The children are:
Amanda Barth, aged II.
Augusta Barth, aged II.
Katie Barth, aged 8.
Gretchen Rosenberg, aged 9.
After hours of frantic search by
a party organized by the parents of
the Barth children, the sand pit was
investigated and the little mutilated
bodies, all evidencing severe physi-
cal injuries, were discovered in a
pathetic group beneath ten feet of
earth.
The girls left the Barth home early
in the afternoon to corral the cows.
ents became apprehensive, and fear
ing that the children might have en-
countered wolves, organized search
ing party, which discovered that a
bank of the large sand pit had col
lapsed and the fate of the tots real
lied
Shovels were procured but it was
at least five hours after the accident
that the first body was recovered.
The children had evidently been
playing in the pit and were caught
without warning by the avalanche of
sand. All lay within a few feet of
each other

Campo, leader of Orozcos rebel
army, who, with eight hundred men.
is operating along the Southern Pa

The word is brought here by vari-

An only alternative given by the
rebel leader is the resignation Of
President Madero.
Based on this report received from

AFRO-AMER|CAN 'CU[L|NCS

Have you man to take charge of
our farm?" I'VE wish a young woman
to teach domestic science in our city
school," I'VE need skilled mechanics
to teach carpentry, wheelwrighting
and blacksmithing." Negro nurses,
men and women, are in great demand
here in our town" These are some of
the many calls that assail the princi-
pal of Tuskegee Institute at all sea-
sons of the year. 1t Is reasonably SO.
The change of the trend of education
among both white and black: the in
crease of wealth, and courage to ven-
ture into business among Negroes;
the higher and higher esteem into
which the skilled Negro workmen are
rising all make this call louder and
more general. At Tuskegee Institute
some thirty odd of these industries are
taught. There are millinery, dressma-
king, ladies' tailoring, upholstering
and understanding, domestic sci
ence, laundering and gymnastics for
girls; there are shoemaking, tailoring,
wheelwrighting, carpentry, cabinetma-
king, tinsmithing, printing, harness
making, mechanical and architectul II
drawing, mechanical, electrical aud
steam engineering for boys; and there
are dairying. swine raising, truck farm
ing. poultry raising, stock raising.
Horticulture, landscape gardening, vet
erinary science, fruit growing and
many other branches of industry,
both mechanical and agricultural
trades for both boys and girls. This
again is the modern trend of things.
Therefore let no one halt at the idea
of young women entering the agricus-
tural trades. Moreover, experience
and experiments at Tuskegee Institute
are demonstrating that the young wo-
man is just as apt and able a pupil
with the machinery in the creamery,
with the science of feeds in the poul-
try yard, with packing and handling
fruit in the orchard as she ia with
grammatical syntax in the classroom.
and just as quick and aggressive as is
her young man classmate, to whom
time and prejudice have hitherto re-
stricted these trades.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-31

There have been several failures of
cooperative effort to do business of
one sort and another in New York in
the past few years, but that should
not deter our men and women from
such efforts. Failures are, in a meas
ure, the necessary step to success. as
1t is by experience that we learn what
is good and what is bad method. AS
we have few opportunities to learn
business methods by growing up with
the business we have to get the expert
ence the best way We can, even If 1t
be through the sore ordeal of failure
after failure. 1t Is said that Peter
Cooper failed at a dozen things before
he found the sign of success. Nearly
every day we meet some man Of the
race who, having made a venture by
himself, or in partnerships and failed
has no disposition to try again. He
thus loses the capital he lost and the
experience he gained in the losing of
II. There is nothing but death in dis
couragement of any sort. Three men,
five men, ten men, with hundred dol
lars apiece can start a good business
of most any sort, and while letting one
of them manage 1t, earn an independ-
ent wage while the business grows
Plenty of them are beginning to do so
here in New York and in other parts
of the country. Try it, you!-New

A real race leader should be use
full man, able to arouse his people
to become interested in his fellow men
in making conditions better and in up
lifting the human race. to see that
each and every man enjoys the rights
and privileges and blessings, as guar
anteed by the state a--d national gov
ernments. We have been troubled too
much with false leadership; men that
were placed upon the pedestal of hon

leaders ought to be relegated to the
rear and place given to men Of honor
intelligence, integrity and character.
1t is fact that the younger generation
is no longer standing by the false lead
