Washington, ID. C.-Following ex-
tensive experiments begun last
spring, the head of the fruit and
vegetable utilization laboratory of the
Department of Agriculture has ap-
piled for a public service patent COW
ering the making of new form of
table strip from apple juice. This
patent will make the discovery, which
the specialists believe will be of great
value to all apple growers as a means
~ utilizing their culls and excess APP
pies, common property of any cider
mill in the United States which
wishes to manufacture and sell apple
cider syrup.
The new strip, one gallon of which
is made from seven gallons of ordi-
nary cider, is a clear ruby or amber
colored strip of about the consistency
of cane strip and maple strip. Prop
erly sterilized and put in sealed tins
or bottles, it will keep indefinitely
and when opened will keep under
household conditions as well as other
sirups. 1t has a distinct fruity aroma
and special flavor of its own which
is described as being practically the
same as the taste Of the sirupy sub
stance which exudes from a baked
i, apple.
The syrup can be used like maple
or other sirups for griddle cakes,
cereals, household cookery and as
fiavoring in desserts. The govern
ment cooking experts are at present
experimenting with it in cookery and
expect shortly to issue recipes for use

Corn Lessons For
Country Schools

Washington, ID. C.-For the benefit
of children in rural schools sugges-
tions for series Of lessons on corn
are about to be issued by the United
States department Of agriculture. The
average production per acre of corn
in the United States is still below %
bushels per acre despite the fact that
in almost every section of the country
yields Of more than 100 bushels have
been obtained. The difference indi-
Gates in a measure the value of
proper instruction in growing corn.
The spread of boys corn clubs all
over the country has also emphasized
the need of corn study in rural
schools.
The forthcoming bulletin contains
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-10-24

outlines of II lessons covering such
important points as the different
kinds of corn, ways of judging corn,
seed, corn crop rotation best kind
of fertilizers, proper cultivation and
the food value of the crop. Sugges-
tions for the proper observance of
corn day have received consideration.
Rural school teachers, especially in
the great corn-growing states, will
find the bulletin valuable aid in the
work of stimulating in their charges
healthy interest in sound agricul-
ture.
This bulletin will be published un-
der the title of Farmers Bulletin No.

copies will be sent free as long as

guage, lodge troubles. petty thiev-
cry and host of other kinds of
disputes too trivial to be carried in
to court of justice. If we could
prevent this sickening drain of
money and the economic loss there
from, our courts would be less con-
gested, and | hazard the prediction
that new era of happiness among
our people would ensue.
II wish &c offer this suggestion
That local business league
throughout Alabama and the South
take leadership in proposing the
organization of Arbitration Courts
for the purpose of settling all diff
erences between Negroes without
involving the disputants in court
trials. At Boston, at Baltimore
and at Birmingham such courts
have been organized among us.
Such courts should have but two
officers, a president and secretary,
with not more than five judges,
three of whom should be regular
judges and two supernumerary
judges to take the place of any one
of the judges temporarily absent.
The settlement of disputes should
not be based on legal technlcali-
ties, but simply, solely and only
upon merit and justice, without
too strict regard to legal interpe-
tation. Criminal cases should not
be handled, and both parties to a
dispute should be in honor bound
to abide by any decision that is
made.
Here is work." he said, ''that
our State league can undertake as
a definite, constructive program.
The results will more than justify
the effort, and the saving economi-
cally to our race in Alabama will
be splendidly worth while"

JUDGE ROBERT H.
TERRELL CONFIRMED

Washington, d. O., April 30
Judge Robert FL. Terrell has been
confirmed. The outcome of the
buttle that has been going on since
January Is is decisive victory
for fair play, for real Americanism
and genuine ability, as against
race prejudice, brass bourdonism
and civic hypocricy. The triumph
is one in which every Negro in
the country will share. 1t is one
which furnishes every citizen of
of the United States cause for
rejoicing.
Since last Friday, when the Sen
ate in executive session, gave a
substantial majority in favor OF
the confirmation of Judge Terrell,
the tenficiary of the Presidents
recognition has been the recipient
of kilograms, letters and messages
of every description, warmly con-
graduating him upon his success
and bespeaking for him a renewal
of his splendid career upon the
municipal bench. Enthusiastic
commendation has likewise been
showered upon President Wilson
for his fine courage in renominat'
ing the Judge, and according to
him the full measure of his worth,
despite the vigorous protests OF
men who stood high in the coun-
ellis of his party. The President
lie extolled because he placed char
acter and compentency beyond
narrow confines of race and color
and made it plain that he was
above the sorbid conception of Of
fetal acceptability that make an
accident of birth the standard OF
selection. Praise is also extended

Race Should
Form Arbitra-
ton Courts

Montgomery, Ala, April Is
Emmett j. Scott, secretary OF the
Tuskegee Institute, and also secre-
tary of the National Negro Busi-
ness League, spoke before the Ala
bama State Negro Business League
here last Thursday evening. He
referred, among other things, to
the fact that the Negro under the
pressure of race prejudice and Seq
regation is gaining in racial solid
arity and race consciousness. He
quoted a recent writer ON sociology
to the effect that this racial solidar-
ity and race consciousness were
likely to increase, as there was 60
ing up within the larger world of
the white man a smaller world of
the black man. Each advance in
the education and intelligence" he
said, "puts the Negro in possess
ion of the technique of communi-
cation and organization of the
white man, aud so contributes to
the extension and consideration OF
the Negro world within the white. "
He said the Negro people are
bound to work together and to
protect themselves economically.
And then" he said, I'VE have
simply got to encourage spirit OF
race amity, of eternal peace, of
racial good will; we have got to
put down the costly and mean
habit of so many of our people of
going to the law to settle every
petty dispute that arises among us.
Every since | was boy | have be-
held the awful spectacle of grown
men and women going into the
courts to settle every petty dispute
that arises between them, literally
pouring into the courts stagger-
ing sum total of money which
might be kept in the race for its
education, for its uplift. Monroe
N. Work, editor of the Tuskegee
Year Book, tells me that it is prob
able that over 81 100000 is spent in
Alabama each year in lawsuits
against one another by our people;
lawsuits of a nature that could be
settled outside of the courts. 1t is
likewise probably true, Mr.. Work
saws, that in the whole South SlO,-
100000 to SIS, 100000 is spent by
our people in the same way. Ii

MAJOR CHAS. YOUNG
CAPTURES BARTEE
AFRICAN WARRIOR

Buchanan, Grand Bass, Liberia,
Apr. 25.-Major Charles Young,
United States military instructor,
is seeing considerable active SER
vice here. In the late afternoon
on the 10th instant he arrived from
Rivercess by the launch, having
on board Bartee, the famous Kru
warrior. Bartee has been motor
ious'y famous for the past year or
two as the leader of the wars
against the government. 1t is
understood that Bartee and anoth--
er Kru warrior were induced by
Major Young to give themselves
up 10 Bassa and took them up to
Moprovia as prisoners of war on
the 18th.
On arrival of Major Young it
appears that he and his prisoners
went on TO the barracks ands one
Nunly, a Kru man who was assist
ing the government in this mission
was behind the main party and
for some reason was struck in tne
face by Willie Brown. When the
matter was reported to Major
Young be sent a cadet with ten
armed soldiers to arrest Brown.
While this company was passing
along the street they were talking
about what they would do to
Brown when they caught him.
N. B. Logan heard the conversa-
ton. He was not aware of Browns
misconduct, but it is alleged that
he would do the same to them.
Reports of the affair differ, but
there was an argument and the
cadet ordered the soldiers to take
Logan. He ran to the Dutch
piazza, followed by the soldiers.
He had been in service that day as
deputy marshal and carried re-
volver When brought TO bay he
drew it and attempted to discharge
it, but it wculd not go off.
In the scrimmage that followed
Logan was wounded in the face
and badly beaten. The soldier
fred off his revolver and took him
before Major Young, who had him
locked up. Logan proved to be
sergeant cf militia No. 2, and later
when Captain Weaver and other
officers pleaded with the major he
was released. That night Major
Young reported Willie Browns
assault to the proper authorities
and he will be dealt with accord
ingly for striking Nunly.
