Games For the Fourth.

Lawn hunts are splendid games for
q Fourth of July party. For a contest
hunt, for example, dozens of pieces Of
white note paper. each with a question
of some kind, are hidden all over the
lawn, in the bushes, hedges, the rustic
seats, the flower Observation-Disclosures.
Some Of them have quotations on
them. with a request for the authors
name: some have q bit Of bark or a
leaf wrapped up in them and a de-
mand for its source and name; some
have the name Of a tune and q re-
quest that the finder sing 1t, and so on.
The one who finds the most papers
and answers them correctly wins q
prize.
The peanut hunt calls for any guam
tity Of peanuts. Some are wrapped In
blue tissue paper. some in pink. some
In white, and then they are hidden all
over the lawn, the blue ones always in
the hardest places. The hunter who
finds the most blue wrapped peanuts
wins a prize.
A heart hunt needs dozens Of little
red cardboard hearts. to be hidden
about the lawn. A dozen slightly lar
ger M are cut irregularly in half and
the halves hidden apart from each
other. Each player finding a plain
heart counts one any player finding
the two halves of a large heart, which
at together properly, counts 20. and
the one counting the highest at the end
Of the game wins the prize.

thrives under the same general condi-

care for them.

THE SOUTH APPRECIATING THE
NEGRO.

There is a notable change in the
attitude assumed in many parts OF
the South toward what the people Oh
that section of the country term the
negro problem" land this atttltude'lt
nav be said is one which has been
held for a long time by the bigger
and broader of the Southern news
naners. It is an attitude precisely TO
the contrary of that taken by sucn
pestilent demagogues as Gov. Blease,
with his blatherskiting against negro
education.
A great dinner of 1000 represen-
tatiye citizens of Georgia was recent
ly given in Atlanta, one feature OF
which was that the tables were
spread exclusively with products OF
that state. The menu contained many
epigrams upon conditions in Georgia.
One of the notable ones was to the
effect that the presence in that state
of the greatest body of negroes and
the least progressive was cat once the
white mans burden and the white
mans opportunity. If the negroes
are allowed to remain in this condi-
ton they will continue to be a brake
on the progress of the state. Ii they
are taught and led into state of eff
cheney as this race formerly develop
ed, with the added value of freedom
and practical education, they will re-
ward all of the care and money ex-
pended on them"
The Houston Post comments ap-
provingly upon these utterances and
adds a number of it's own along SINH
lar lines, concluding thus:
''The Southern white people are
simply neglecting their own welfare
and impeding their own progress so
long as they do not, in every possible
way, encourage the negroes to be-
come intelligent, efficient, Industrious
and thrifty people. They are going
to be here always and we cannot af-
ford to permit them to drift. Their
labor is needed and always will be
needed, and when they learn how to
do things well they will be tremen-
dous factor in the South's progress
and civilization"
When the people of the South ac-
cept these truths and live up to them
the now pressing NEGRO problem"
will soon solve itself.

THE MAN WHO KNOWS

Chauncey Depew was not far
wrong a few days ago when he said
during the course of an address that
he would heartily like to say some
thing about the Mexican situation but
that there was only one man in this
country who knew anything about it..
That man was, of course, Mr.. Wilson.
The president announced to the news
paper correspondents about ten days
ago that the outlook appeared more
favorable" and this at time when,
outwardly, the clouds seemed dark
est. This statement has been reiter-
ated on several later occasions but it
has not been calculated by the presi-
dent-the "only man who knows"
However it has been pretty we'll es-
tablished that his policy is a finan-
cial blockade of international proper
tions-that Mr.. Wilson, uncompro-
misingly determined to GUST Huerta,
has won the cooperation of the Eu-
ropean powers in a plan designed to
cut off the dictator's credit and thus
to starve him out of Office. The
scheme has not yielded returns as
yet, but the president seems confident
enough of the outcome to attend a
wedding and a baseball game in a
single week. Simplicity is the essence
of the device and while it may appear
coldblooded to Huerta it also has the
merit of being bloodless.- Belling-
ham Herald.
