When a man agrees with you at all
times look for the ak he has to grind

At meeting of the general educa
ton board held several days ago s440
600 was appropriated for education
among white people, north and south.
In this country, and $4,000 was appro.
priated for education among negroes
We are wondering if our race is doing
its duty in making applications to the
general education board for helm. I'm.
less there is screw loose somewhere
it seems to us that we should get
more money from this board for the
education of ten millions of people
than $4,000, considering the large
amounts appropriated for white
schools
We understand that the general edu.
cation board does not appropriate
money unless the Institution will
agree to raise certain amount, We
earnestly advise the colleges and uni.
versities existing for colored people
to do their part in making application
to the board and try to meet the re
quirements Of the board, so that our
race will receive larger share of the
money.-New York Ago.

sell. He will be remembered in Amer
lea in connection with his marriage
to Mollie Somerville, or Cooke, some
years ago. The earl secured a divorce
in Reno and married the American
woman.
Meanwhile the first Countess Rus
sell sued in England for divorce on
the ground of bigamy and got a de-
cree. The earl was arrested and con-
victed of the biganly charge and
served three months in Holloway jail.
That was in 1901. In August, 1911.
he received a full pardon for the felony
recorded against him.
Lord Russell in a statement said:
my reasons for taking this step
are simply that l, am in general agree
ment with the socialist idea placing
the control Of industry and the means
of production in the hands of society
for the benefit Of the masses. In this
connection | attach special import
ance to the naturalization of land"

Servian Military Genius.

One of the war correspondents in
the Balkans writes of General Putnik,
commander-in-chief of the Servian
forces, as a military genius: Il was
struck by the extraordinary likeness
which he bore tt. General Grant, both
in feature and build. Perhaps, how
ever, If the reader of these lines will
recall what Andrew Carnegie is like
then he will have an excellent idea Of
the appearance of the Servian general

is adored by his staff and by all
ranks"

cal Negro Business Leagues
Now that the political campaign Is
over and we are free to give our at
tention to matters that more directly
concern our welfare as individuals
and as communities, want to urge
upon each Local Negro Business
League throughout the United States
to cut out a definite piece OF work
that the league may accomplish dur
ing the coming winter.
First-In order to accomplish some
definite thing, each league should
have a regular time for meeting.
Second-A regular program should
be mapped out in advance Of each
meeting.
Third-Each league should have a
special attractive place to meet IN.
Fourth--Each league should consid-
er carefully what the organization
can do to promote the welfare OF the
community in business and CONNER
cial directions.
There never has been such CONNER
cial prosperity existing throughout
the country as is true today, and our
people should share in this prosperity
1t is largely through the help and
leadership of each Local Negro Bust
ness League that they will be able to
do So
If your league has not had meet
Ing for some time see that one Is
called at once and new life is put
into the organization.
Persons desiring to organize new
Local Negro Business Leagues may
secure information by writing to Mr..

Where lands have been cropped to
DEATH" as some plain people APPLY
term it, live stock farming is the sur
est, cheapest and quickest method Of
restoring it's fertility. In live stock
farming the crops raised on the farm
are grown primarily for the purpose OF
feeding one or more classes Of live
stock, and but little is sold except an
imal products. On the other hand
concentrated feeding stuffs are pur-
chased for feeding the farm animals,
which adds to the amount of fertility
returned to the land in the manure
Since the animal products sold do not,
as a general rule, contain large quaint
ties of fertilizing ingredients, it is
easy to rapidly increase the fertility
of land by this system of farming.

Miss Mamie H. Burroughs. CORE
spending secretary of the Women's
Auxiliary convention and president Of
the National Training School for
Girls, made a strong plea for the
women of her race and appealed to
the white women Of the south to as
sist in the efforts to make the negro
what he should be.
She said in part:
I'VE have too many organizations
The negro is the most organized race
in the world, and his organizations
are the least effective. We have our
hands on the mass of people, and this
mass Is plastic-but, it seems exceed
ingly difficult for the leaders to settle
upon a definite plan either for our
moral, social, political or industrial
betterment
TO be permanently effective or re-
ligious and secular organizations must
be manned by live men and women
who have been somewhere and have
seen something. They must be full of
faith and Of the spirit of the living
God
1.-THE negro Is restless because he is
not normally placed creature; he is
put into an unnatural position and
kept there by force, and whenever
this is done with race or an indi.
vidual, 1t makes trouble. Persons
thus placed are uncomfortable, and
as a natural result, we protest, and
this protest creates disturbance and
resistance that will never be stopped
until the right remedy is applied. Ap.
ply to the negro his constitutional
rights and not special laws; give him
an opportunity to try his strength
to labor and to enjoy the fruits of his
labor, and there will be no negro
problem.

DR.. w. T. Grenfell describes Labra-
dor as land still hardly known be-
yond it's borders. The cold current
that flows along its shores from the
north dominates its climate, and, not
withstanding that it is considerably
further south, it receives less continu-
GUS sunshine than Alaska, because its
summer is shorter. The GOODNESS OF
the soil and the dryness Of the winds
stunt many of it's plants to such de-
gree that a larch growing at the
southern end of Labrador which
showed 80 annual growth rings, was
only nine inches TALL and its trunk was
but three-eighths Of an inch In diane
ter. Mineral deposits seem to be

The notion has grown up in the pub.
lie land states and territories that
everybody who Is on the ground has
right to all the public domain he
can get hold of under the thinnest
possible color of compliance with law:
that every lumber company has a right
to run its steam sawmills day and
night on public timber, and every own
err of live stock has an inalienable
right to free pasturage on the public
domain. Cases involving the rights OF
the nation when tried in the local
courts have often been decided by the
prevailing local sentiment. But the
Supreme court of the United States Is
not subject to the influence created
by "sooners" and boomers" and the
exploiters OF natural resources in the
newer parts of the country. The ma
ton has a right to protect its proper.
ty and conserve its natural resources
and administer its lands and mines
and forests and water powers with
view to general rather than individual
interest, and to take some note Of tho
rights of posterity. The exploiter Of
the west has had long day. but it is

1t is an old and much disputed
question by what means carrier
pigeons find their way home over dis
tances sometimes of hundreds Of
miles. Some extraordinary sugges-
tions have been offered to explain this
strange faculty, such as that the birds
are guided by magnetic currents, that
they possess a special sense Of direc-
ton enabling them to reverse a course
once pursued, and that they have
particular arrangement of the internal
organs of the ear which affords a
means of guidance. The problem has
been attacked again recently by P.
Hachet-Souplet, director of the lnsti-
tute of Animal Psychology in Paris.
who concludes that the whole secret
is contained in the ability of the
pigeons to lay their course by recog'
nized points in the landscape beneath
them. He believes that the longest
authenticated flights are applicable In
this way.
