courage a man at his work. 1t mat

livelihood and familf support and he
should be made to feel a peculiar
pride in it. The industrial problems
of the Negro are being multiplied by
the steady stream of low immigrants
being poured into this country yearly.
Where these people do not find oppor-
tunity to earn d living IN competition
with the Negro, they become a part
Of the community in some way and
the very people whom the immigrant
population has come to uproot, must
help bear the burden of their support,
as idlers or criminals. The ldlers Of
every community can be put seriously
to work or kept moving on. Without
a doubt somebody feeds or supports
the vagrant element of Negroes Of
any community and the good Negro
citizens bear a part of the burden with
the white people who are so often
looked upon as the burden bearers by

kept on the go, either as self-support-
ing citizens or under the eyes Of the
officers of the law.
There is always the hope Of doing
something with grown-up people. 1t
is not always the case that have
reached a point of moral turpitude
where they are hopeless cases. Some
are wrecks of time, but there are
many who still have a chance to pass
the rigid inspection and hard condi-
tions imposed by the law of the sur
vival of the fttest. The best that
may be done can be done with these
wavering, faltering products Of our
changed industrial life. The best
work, however, can be done with the
young people who fill the public
schools of to-day. If they are proper
ly prepared, the uncertainties of the
future will pass away and the next
generation of Tennessee citizens will
be a greater honor to the state and
race than the one preceding It,
Nine-tenths of these never go beyond
the grammar school but take their
place early in the growing life of the
state and follow whatever they find
to do because of natural fitness for
the work opportunity offers. They
become very largely the nam body
of the Negro citizens and out Of their
families must come all that is to
make the future of the race grand and

glorious. If these young people can
have their characters well developed,
their hands, heads and hearts well
trained for the duties of citizenship,
the future will be secure. Every Ne
gro boy and girl in the public schools
of Tennessee should be taught some
thing of the common things of life
and made intelligent about their sur
roundings. Their education in the
grammar schools should not close
without the completion of some voca'
ton that would make them self-sup-
porting factors in the community
where they reside from the very be-
ginning. Each community should
have it's vocational course attached to
the grammar schools and the courses
should be arranged and adjusted to
the opportunities likely to be offered
the pupils where they reside. Add
to this training a well organized ap-
prentice system among the men and
women well qualified as skilled la
borers and a gradual but not violent
pressure into fields or labors hitherto
~unoccupied by the people of the Ne
gro race, then the next generation of
Tennessee Negroes will find that they
can live ever better than their an
cestors under the provisions of the
Constitution of the United States.

during the past fifty years for the up
lifting of the race. There is also
the possibility of a greater social
snarl than the South has ever had on
its hands before. Something has al
ready been done but more can be
done to forestall the loss of confidence
likely to result between the more pros
porous and less successful classes Of
the race. Confidence means every
thing in race development. Without
it there can be no racial solidarity and
no well worked plan for rae develop
ment. Negro business men should
get together and work out their bust
ness plans for the good of all. In doing
so, they should have regard for their
moral obligations to society and their
duty to the race of which they are a
part. Professional men should or
ganize for social betterment and the
advancement of learning, The physi-
clan should not only keep something
more in mind than the patients
fee and ability to pay, but should
so regulate his fees that the hard
struggling man of small daily wages
can avoid the crushing financial eff
fects of a serious illness in his family.
If he fails 10 o do so, he defeats the
purpose for which he was created,
for every Negro has come out Of our
schools in the past forty years is in
some way a product Of philanthropy.

DISTRICT IRRIGATION
Separation of Shall ow and Deep We'll Propositions by Formation of
 Two Districts

At the adjourned meeting held on
 Tuesday at two o'clock at the F. M
 Atwood place, there were about fifty
 or the ranchmen of the dry land sec
 ton present. w. H. Knox presided
 and the first business was the re-
 port of the committee appointed at
 the meeting previously held in Mesa
 The committee reported that to form
 all the lands under one district would
 probably prove a mistake, and recom-
 lHended that two districts be organ
 lzed. Engineer Paul E. Fuller went
 into details as to the reasons why enc district would be burdensome and liable to result in friction be- tween the land owners In one part
 of the section the water level was | Cnly an average of 55 feet while in 1 the northeastern part of the pro- posed district the water level would | average IS feet. The management of smaller districts would be more de- slrabe from every point of view. A vote taken on the question to divide 1 the proposed district into two dis | tricts was carried.
 | The passage of the division motion l caused the dissolution of the general association and two new associations | were formed. one to include all the i lands lying in the southwestern part 1 Of the dry belt and the other to in
 clude the lands of the northeastern 1 section. In the division of these lands l the southwestern district got approx | imately 33,000 acres, and the north ! eastern 30.000 acres
 1 The southwestern district proceed . | ed to organize with L. H. Sorey, 1 chairman and J. Elmer Johnson as | secretary. Committees were appointed and authorized to employ Silverthorn X Sexton, Mesa attorneys, to look l after the legal end of the proposition l Paul l.. Fuller was retained as en- ! gineer. A general meeting of the dis | trict land owners will be held at the school house. Higley, on August 18th, | to hear the reports of committees and 1 officials.
 A meeting of the northeastern dis l trict residents and landowners will
 be held at F. NJ. Atwood's on Tues | day, August 27th. The reports from 1 the men who have been looking up
 the financial end of the proposition | indicate that there will be no trouble
 in disposing of the bonds to install | the plants necessary to raise the Wa 1 ter for irrigation. While the question of underground flow has been thor l oughly demonstrated by the Chan | dler pumps and pumps in use in the l government wells, still other tests 1 will be made. MT. Fuller is testing | a well on his place and H C. Myers
 is installing one of the largest plants l in the county and will make long

HAWkEYES ARE EXPERT SHOTS. Rifle Team of the Iowa City High
 School Broke the Records

For the second consecutive year the Astor cup for the interscho1astic rifle shooting championship of the United States has been won by the rifle team representing the Iowa City high school In doing this they also have the glory of making a score which surpases all previous intercollegiate and intercol- legiate rifle shooting records.
 The five boys composing the team which won. firing ten shots standing and ten shots prone at fifty feet with .22 caliber rifles at a target having a F inch bulls s-eye made the phenomen- al score of 9SO of a possible 1000. This is eight points better than the revious scholastic record and seven points bet ter than the collegiate record
 In making this score the lads placed eighty-two of the one hundred shots within a space the size of 1O-cent piece, and all the shots fired, with the exception of two, would have hit 25- cent piece.
 The secretary of war on hearing of this phenomenal shooting, sent the fol- lowing telegram to the principal of the school:
 
 your school in winning the interschol- astic rifle shooting championship of the United States for 1912 with a rec ord score.
 Your work represents a high class of patriotism and deserves the emulation of every high school in the land.
 There were eighteen schools in the competition which extended from Portland, Me, to Los Angeles, Cal.
 The second highest team in the com petition was the Deering high school of Portland Me, who made the very excellent score of 962. The third team was the St. Johns Military Academy of Delafield. Wis, with 937, and the fourth team the Morris high school of New York City with 934.
 A melancholy feature of the compe- tition was the fact that the cup that was being competed for was presented by the late Col. John Jacob AStor- Albert $. Jones in Harper's Weekly

WHEN LIVING WAS CHEAP.
Mutton Sold for Six Gents a Pound
 in 1920, Veteran Says.

Conversation in a restaurant yes terday between several diners was on the cost of living. An aged patri- notwithstanding man broke into the conversation and told some of his ex- periences.
 If I live till the last day of Sep tember, I will be 92 years old. I might not look it, but it's a fact, all right. for I was born in this city in 1920 My father was what they call ed a sheep butcher, and I have known him to come home Dragging to mother of having sold his mutton for six and a half cents a pound.
 We used to get the best cuts of beef for a levy pound. Turnips went begging at twenty cents a bushel. Pork was as cheap as mutton, and fish brought about four cents a pung. Flour was sold by the hundred weight at about $1.5O.
 We owned our own house, a B. story brick with a big yard. Neigh bors renting similar houses paid SIP a month rent, and thought they were being robbed. Coal could be had for $4 ton. Butter of the best variety cost from twelve to sixteen cents a pound Cigars which now cost a dime are no better than the old 'sixers' we paid a cent for, and I have never smoked a five center that was as good as the old time"half Spanish" which we bought two for a cent
 "A laboring man worked for $1 a day and lived well The Civil War brought a great change in the cost of living Prior to the war there was marked distinction between the rich and the poor The latter included all classes, but the wealthy were told by the clothes they wore.
 "Now. in this age, a $10a-week clerk dresses better than the richest men I knew back in the sos. I have never advocated economy, but I con- fess there are a great many things that could be dispensed with, both as to clothes, eating and pleasure.
 AS long as the people have high tastes, things are going to command high prices. This demand of peo- pie booms prices more than the trusts do."-From the Philadelphia Record.
