movement for the municipal Christ
mas trees to unite in the movement
for the municipal Christmas tree and
merge their funds with those that are
to be raised from other sources, with
view to concentrating everything in
one big tree instead of having a NUM-
Der of smaller ones, and committee
was appointed to confer with the va
rions organizations to this end.
When it came to selecting the
committees to look after the various
Details OF The work, there was a rush
of volunteers. 1t wasn't a question of
begging people to work-everybody
wanted to work without being asked.

asQUARE DEAL" FOR NEGRO Is
WANTED
Or. Mathews Says There 10 Dlsposi-
tion to Treat Him az Halt Man.

est. Paul Pioneer Press.)
st. Paul. Mimi. Feb. 23.-"There is
q disposition to treat the Negro as a
half personality, half man; he must
be considered as q personality. for he
is unquestionably one OF the great fac
tors in this country today" declared
DR.. Shailer Mathews, dean Of the
divinity department of the Chicago
university, in an address at the Ply
mouth Congregational church last
night. .....,. ..... ....
DR.. Mathews address was under the
auspices Of the st. Paul branch of the
National Society for the Advancement
OF the Colored Race. He spoke on
Abraham Lincoln and Fifty Years
After"
Increasing Race Prejudice.
There is q disposition today to VIC.
lently discriminate against the Negro"
said Mr.. Mathews. "Race antagonism
has developed within the last fifty
years, and particularly within the last
few years, which is new. This race
antagonism is product of the increas.
Ing immigration. There is atagonism
between various races, but the feeling
against the negro has increased to an
unusual extent.
THE difficult phase Of the present
situation, which is approaching q
crisis, Is that the best element Of the
Negro race is not in the best position
to help the worse elements. They lack
education, financial status and influ.
ence, and their mental state is not
developed highly enough. Give them
the education, give them the oppor.
tunity to make good, give the Negro
the square deal to which he is en-.
titled.
Negro Entitled to Square Deal.
When Abraham Lincoln conceived
that memorable document which broke
the letters Of the Negro, he did not
intend that social sense should with.
hold from the colored man equal Ius.
t1ce with other free men. The dispo-
sition today is to treat the Negro as
naif man. He is man. q real flesh.
and'olood man and he is entitled to
the American square DEAL See that
he receives it."
Dr. Mathews commended the work

its membership list the names Of lead

THE KNockER AND THE soos.
TER.

II Is the tendency Of modernism to
laud the booster to the skies and to
relegate the knocker and the kicker to
the lowest depths, and yet everything
IN every department Of life that makes
life worth living, is the result of right
eous knocking and kicking.
This great Republic Of ours would
still be under the rule Of Britain II our
hard-fisted, big-footed ancestors had
not first knocked the British minions
on the head ana then Kicked them out
Of the country. II they had boosted
British rule and British tyranny there
would never have been any United
States.
If the abolitionists Of more modern
times had boosted all the institutions
Of the country instead of knocking the
hideous Slave God on the jawbone and
kicking him In tho midriff in season
and out Of season. while q great ma
jority Of the citizens Of the land point
ed the finger Of scorn at them Kissed
knockers, Knockers" the crack Of the
slave whip would resound in the land
today and the Southern swamps would
echo and re-echo with the bay Of the
blood hounds on the trail Of men and
women fleeing for life and liberty.
The mighty host Of blue coats that
swept Southwark like an angry sea
half century ago was q great, God.
ordained knock against hell.inspired
system that was eating out the life Of
the Nation.
There never was q reform, in any
line of life. that made the world purer,
better and happier but began by knock.
ing at evil conditions, and there never
was . reform secured but by kicking
the life out Of some existent evfl.
II there is a wrong Of any kind ex-
listing In . community and q man does
not knock that wrong, he is q man
only in shape and not in spirit; If an
evil exists and he does not kick the
evil he is only an imitation Of a man.
Injustice cannot be wiped out and the
wrongs righted by boosting. II re-
qufres knocking and kicking; any
lump Of flesh can boost but It takes q
man Of nerve and spirit to knock and
kick.
Tho true rule Of life is to boost
everything good and knock and kick
everything bad and detrimental to pub
he welfare. So here's to the ''knock-
ers and kickers," they are the salt Of
the earth; they are the ones that
stand between the people and abject
social. financial and political servitude

Three Games Were Played Friday And Saturday,
The Home Team Winning One.

The Salem High School base ball
team was here for three games Fri
day and Saturday.
The home team won the game
Friday evening, the scores standing
IL to3.
The two games played Saturday
were won by the visiting team.
The score of the first game was 16
to 8. The last game was the only
real base ball contest of the series.
Ten innings were played before
Salem won by the score of 7 to 6.
Large crowds attended the games,
and people of the town were most
liberal in their support Of the home
team in financial way, which fact
makes base ball games possible.
The Salem boys are fine young
gentlemen and play a good game,
They expressed themselves as hav.

WEEKLY LETTER
OF J. H. PAGE
Commissioner Has A Letter
Of General Interest About
Grass And Grasses. \

Grass is a simple subject, because
everybody knows about grass, and
yet it is an interesting and import
ant subject. All the farmers are
familiar with grass. 1t is one of
the common enemies of the farmer.
He fights it from early spring to
late fall, and as | have heard a
friend of mine say several times,
then often goes out and buys it for
hay during the winter.
Grass under some conditions is a
pest, and under others is a crop.
Let us consider it as a crop. Grass
is all important for all kinds Of live
stock. Even the chickens require
grass. All kings of live stock re-
Quire it. Since feed for work stock
and live stock is the greatest item
of expense on the farm outside of
labor, and since grass in some form
is one of the most important factors
in feed for live stock, the logic of
the whole thing is that grass is i'm
portant, and the subject one for prof
liable thought and discussion. |
would like to have letters from all
the farmers who care to write them,
telling me what they think and
know about grasses for the farm for
pasture and hay, and their expert
ences. Tell me the best grass for
pasturaee in your community and
why. Also the best hay crop and
why. Let's get in touch with each
other on t h Is subject of grass.
Everybody can say something about
grass, so speak up. want to hear
from you.
! am going to call your attention
to some new grasses. The Sudan is
a good grass. 1t comes from Sudan,
and belongs to the sorghum family.
1t is similar to johnson grass but
superior and stock like it better.
1t is an annual, stands dry weather
we'll, can be cut three or four times
and yields from three to six tons
per acre., Cattle are very fond of it.
Can be planted any me from
March to July. Can be planted in
drill or broadcast, ten pounds seed
to acre, Sudan will grow well
mixed with COW peas or soy beans
The Rhodes is another new GRASS
Sharp County record., 1914-05-15

from Africa, that gives fine results
where tried. 1t is a perennial, has
fine seed like blue grass, is a fine
hay and good pasture grass, and
will yield from a to 6 tons to the
acre during a season. 1t requires a
warm climate, and will not do well
in the north part of the State. Try
these along with other grasses
Grass makes one of. our best and
most profitable crops, and is easily
grown.
