Some days ago as Engineman Amos

were making train speed near North
Freedom, they saw man standing on
the other track from the one on which

man wore bandage about his head and
waved his arms frantically AS he was
in no danger they did not stop, think
ing that if anything was wrong the man
would have stood on the track occupied
by their train. They are wondering if the
man desired something or was trying to
play joke on them. Both tracks
seemed to be in perfect condition and
there was no apparent reason why they
should stop. Why did he signal?

Learn Hg to Knott Each
OTTER

In the schoolhouse in Belleville, Wis,
a few evenings ago, upon motion OF
the Catholic priest, the Methodist min
lister was elected president of the COM
munity's social center for the coming
winter.
Tnen three. basket ball teams were
formed, including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, a
farmer, the keeper of the village
restaurant, dentist, clothier, a
teamster, druggist, garage owner,
the banker, hardware merchant and a
house painter.
They differed in religion, in politics,
, in incomes, in social status about as
widely as Emen can differ. But in the
common school building, in the free
democracy of the social center, they
agreed to lay aside their differences fol
the novel purpose of discovering how
much good fellowship there was in
meeting together, now and then, as
equals, as brothers.
In the democracy of play, in the
democracy of frank, fair discussion Of
public questions, they are finding out
these differing men Of Belleville, that,
as human beings, they're amazingly
alike, cnce you get below the sur
face.
And out Of this agreeable discovery
will come, for Belleville, more tolerance
more kindness of feeling, more give
and take than it had ever known be
fore. Even when they shall differ
again-as, of course, they often will
it will not he with as much bitterness
as much bigotry, as much mean hate az
of yore.
Brotherhood is a wonderful solvent

q Groe0ing Negro City

In 1914 the city of Boley, Okla, was
founded by negro named T. M.
Haynes. There are now about Is, 900
negroes in and around the place, and
they have demonstrated what negro
pluck and intelligence can accomplish,
says the Christian Endeavor World.
The city has its own electric light
plant and waterworks; it has a bank
with capital stock of 500, 900, three
cotton gins. telephone system, city
hall, chamber of commerce, a high
school that cost SIS, 600, a masonic
temple, fine churches, a recreation
park, negro postmaster, and negro
mayor.
The negro in America, of course,
cannot be a race apart, the World says
further. He must mix in the activities
of economic life with his white brother
and perhaps draw inspiration and help
from that source, but it is well
that he demonstrate, in such a
practical way as this, that he can es-
tablish and run cities and carry on
business enterprises with success.
