Piutes Flee to Mountains.

Bluff, Utah.-Scouts brought word to

colored boy of Tulsa county, is Okla
homa's champion cotton raiser. His
exhibit was awarded first prize at the
Oklahoma state fair, eastern Oklaho-
ma fair at Muskogee and the Tulsa
county fair. What this ambitious lit
tie colored boy accomplished has
brought him into favorable notice of
the state board of agriculture.
Dewey Green resides with his father
on a farm near jerks, in the lowlands
of the Arkansas river, which cannot
be excelled in Oklahoma for cotton.
He was enrolled in the Tulsa County
Boys Cotton club early last year.
When it was announced that Dewey
had decided to join the club the white
boys in the club were inclined to view
the advent of Negro boy with dis
dain. You won't get anywhere in a
contest with the white boys, was the
fling one boy took at Deewy.
You all jes' wait till pickin' time
and I'll show you who can grow cot
tom was the rejoinder of the lad.
On his one acre of cotton he made
more money than did his father on
forty acres of the same land adjoining
Not only was the yield unusually
heavy, but in point of lint, number of
bolls to the stalk and seed it out
graded anything shown in the three
fairs.
Dewey says he accomplished what
he did by following out the instruc-
tions of the department of agriculture
to the letter and by refusing to seek
the shade when the torrid sun of July
and August took all of the play" out
of experimental farming.
Dewey has enrolled in the Boys
Corn club of Tulsa county and will go
in for corn this year as the disastrous
luck attending the marketing of cot
ton owing to the war will have a ten
dency to eliminate cotton from the
1915 crops in Tulsa county.
If anything. the Negro farmers of
Tulsa county take more interest in the
efforts of the government to promote
scientific farming than the whites.
They attend agricultural meetings and
listen with rapt attention to all that is
said. Many Negro farmers are going
in for wheat. oats and alfalfa who
until two years ago had never raised
anything but cotton and corn. All
who tried wheat and oats in 1914
made money. Where they have plant
ed alfalfa they have for the first time
in their lives gone in for hog raising.
Maj Robert Russa Notion command
ant of cadets at the Hampton insti-
tute, in making his appeal for the
school. said:
"As a result of Hampton's extern
sion work, the Negro Organization So
ciety, movement which grew out of
Hampton institute, has succeeded in
getting nearly two hundred thousand
colored people in the state of Virginia
during cleanup week" last April, to
clean up their premises, destroy breed
ing places for mosquitoes, flies, etc,
thereby making possible better sani-
tary conditions for blacks and whites
The workers at Hampton, led by it's
self-effacing principal, Doctor Frissell,
are helping in a concrete fashion to
bring peace on earth and good will
toward men-black men, white men,
northern men, and southern men-and
helping toward a peace and good will
which very large part of the civ
ilized world. at the present time at
least, seems to have quite forgotten.

ADVANTAGES OF sTANDARo-MADE
GOODS.
(Farm and Ranch.)

| met man not long ago who was
bewailing the fact that one of his farm
Implements, for which he had urgent
need, was lying idle awaiting new
part that had been ordered.
Reason? The implement in question
had been bought from distant house,
and, not being standard make, the
local dealer was unable to supply a
part to match the broken one.
Inquiry on my part elected the infor-
nation that the owner thought he was
saving approximately $3.50 in the orig
inal purchase price, although the local
merchant claimed the difference was
represented in quality.
At any rate, the time lost waiting for
necessary repairs more than balanced
the difference by several dollars, to say
nothing of similar accidents likely to
occur again.
Small-town dealers can sell as cheap.
| ly as any one else-quality considered
and the service they are in position
to render purchasers is an attraction
worthy of serious consideration.
If you will demand standard goods
Of established worth, you will invaria
bly, be assured of full value for the
amount of money expended. You car
obtain this class of merchandise to as
good advantage locally as elsewhere
and your money spent at home will
benefit you and your neighbors il
many ways.

LEGISLATURE ALL-lMPoRTANT.
Qake Charles American-Press.)

A great sounding of hewgags and
beating of tom-toms is going on over
the governorship. The voter is being
assured what this candidate favors,
and what that candidates record or
associations show he must be opposed
to. Statesmen who aspire to high office
are passionately declaiming their love
for Reform, their adherance to Eco
nomical Government, their undying OPP
position to any increase in the Burden
|of Taxation, their intention of lower
ing salaries, reducing taxes and stimuli
taneously giving the children better
schools, the veterans more pensions
and the wards Of the state more com:
forts and better care.
None of them explain how they are
going to redeem even a part of their
pledges, to make their dreams come
true and for very good reason-even
|granting their sincerity they do not
possess the power.
The possibilities of either good or
bad in the state government lie in the
hands of the Louisiana General Assem-
bly,, 1t passes upon every proposition
looking to the welfare of the state that
does not go direct to the people, and
lit decides what shall be submitted to
the people. The fate Of prohibition,
tax reform, abolition of the fee system,
the congressional unit, economy of ex-
Ipenditures, reform and simplification
lof judicial procedure, consolidation of
useless boards, the proper support of
state institutions, and the well being
of the schools Of the state-all, directly
or indirectly, are in it's hands.
That no governor no matter how
earnest, how sincere, how wise he may
be, can accomplish much without the
support Of the legislature is a fact al
ready demonstrated.
Yet the selection of able, intelligent
members of the General Assembly,
single minded in desiring the best in
terests of the state and discriminating
enough to decide what its best in
terests are, is apparently the slightest
concern In this campaign II such
members are sesured it is merely
through chance; and sad experience
shows that chance never gives Louis
lana a majority Of them. In the city
whatever fights there are, center on
the assessorships; In the country par
ishes, sheriffs, clerks and assessors
hold the center Of the stage; the men,
bers of the legislature are lightly re-
[garded If regarded at all.

THE MAN WHO DOES.
(Natchitoches Times.)

Give US the man who does things"
Any old stick can stand in the corner,
or in the way, and do nothing; but we
give our admiration, our thanks and
our vote to the man who does things.
An old adage says that many are called,
but few are chosen, and so it goes with
the every day things of life-many are
called upon. but few do things"
This is an age Of progress, of vitality,
of efficiency-of accomplishment; and
yet, it is wonderful to note the many
who stand around and wait for the
other fellow to start, to work, to finish
the necessary tasks of life!
Where there are ten to stand around
and suggest, there Is but one to do.
Where there are a dozen to point out
the defects Of what has been done,
there is scarcely one to initiate, to
organize, to practically plan and to
carry into successful execution any
work OF practical and useful benefit to
mankind. So, our hats should be OF
to those who really and truly do things
Your ideas and ours may not agree
exactly with what is accomplished by
these doors Of things-but, God bless
their souls, they have tried, they have
put their bodies, their minds and theil
souls into their work-and have done
their best-so let's give them credit
We are with the workers, the mer
and women who try to lift the worl(
up to a higher plane than that OF
which they found 1t when they came
upon the scene.
We are all human and subject to mis-
takes and errors - but we prefer Il
cast our lot with those who do thing
than with those who are content t
llet the world float.

CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED IN
FEEDING YOUNG PIGS.

Young pigs should not be put in the
same feed lot with larger ones unless
some means is provided to allow the
pigs of the same size to eat by them
selves. This is very easily done by
fencing of a part of the feed lot and
cutting hole in the fence just large
enough to admit pigs of the desired
size. Three or four grades should be
provided for in order to make sure
that the smaller pigs are not crowded
out by the larger ones. The rations
for the growing pigs must contain an
abundance of muscle-making and bone
making materially. L. Jordan, Pro
fessor of Animal Industry, L. S. o.

John M. Parker says in his platform
that his party is white mans party.
How do we know? We don't have to

spite the fact that Parker himself abb
hors the black side of the question and
would like to tear away from it; the

THREAT TO SUGAR.
New Orleans States. J


F. c. Lowry, manager of the Sales
Department of the Federal Sugar Re-
lfinery, writes to President Wilson, pro-
testing against suspension of the
free sugar schedule of the tariff act
and proposing as a substitute the i'm
position of consumption tax, which
would tax the consumer without aiding
the producer.
The sugar planters of Louisiana have
reason to know what persistent and
Ipernicious opponent they have had in
Mr.. Lowry. No single man did more
Ito promote the free sugar agitation
which brought them to the brink of
disaster; and they may well view with
alarm his temperance in the field to
defeat the plan to give them relief in
| their present situation,
Gibson Gardner, however, makes a
significant statement. Mr.. Gardner, be-
sides being Washington correspond
ent of national reputation and unusual
political perspective, is one of the most
intimate friends and ardent worship
ers of Col. Roosevelt. His dearest wish
| is to see the Colonel sit again in the
White House.
But Mr.. Gardner reluctantly acknowl-
edges that President Wilson has blan-
keted the opposition by adopting prac-
tically all their issues with the result
that the Colonel has disappeared from
the landscape.
Despite the one-term plank in the
Baltimore platform" says Mr.. Gardner,
l"Woodrow Wilson will be a second
term candidate and in all probability
a second-term President"
With Woodrow Wilson so powerful
at Washington that it practically is as
lsured he is to remain there for five
land half years more, it would be we'll
for our sugar planter friends to con-
slider prayerfully the possibilities of a
campaign of defiance of Woodrow Will
son and the Democratic party such as
that in which they are engaged.
The European war has made it posi-
BILE to give sugar new lease of life by
a return to the Democratic policy of a
tariff for revenue. But Mr.. Lowry
points out way by which sugar may
be made to yield even a larger revenue
than the present duty affords without
| disturbing the tariff act or giving the
cane and beet planters the incidental
subsidy which they say is essential tC
the preservation of their industry
: We should like to see sugar made
permanently and irrevocably the corner
stone of Democratic revenue policy;
but the attitude of the Louisiana sugar
planters has so exasperated the res
of the country, that few voices in othel
1 states were raised in their behalf whe1
the cry for free sugar was started.
1t remains to be seen whether TIT
planters now have the gumption tt
recognize that through the Democratic
. party there is a chance to put the in
9 dustry on solid basis, or whethe
q they are so lost to reason as to be ben
+. on defying the Wilson administrator
y land forcing it to find some other wa
4 of raising the revenue the Government
g needs than by suspending the suga
4 schedule.
Q Mr.. Lowry suggests way
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1915-11-06
Ir. Lowry suggests a way.

If Louisiana Senators and Congress
men always had been Democrats at
Washington as well as at home, sugar
would have been made fixture in
every Democratic revenue program and
it would not have been so forlorn In the
crisis it faced at Washington when the
Democrats came back into power few
years ago.-New Orleans States.

SCHOOL NOTES.
Roscoe BOwman.)

On Thursday afternoon of last
week Rev. Suckow, the pastor OF
the local Congregational church,
delivered short address upon AT
tention' to the students of the
High School. The address was very
interesting as well as being In
structive and was we'll received.
Last Saturday the Manchester
second team or Scrubs played
a. team from the Parochial school OF
Dyersville at the Mcintosh field on
E. Main street. A fair crowd was
present. The game ended with the
score 10 to 0 in favor Of the home
boys. All the points were made in
the first half of the game. The
most spectacular play was a long
run by Arlie Smith on the Manches-
ter team, OF. almost the entire length
of the field for touchdown. TWAS
for slight mix-up between couple
ersville will probably be played in
couple of weeks.
The first team Of the High school
also played Saturday, playing
game with the Dubuque High school
team, at that place. The Dubuque
coach intended to play his first
team. only for about the first five
minutes, but Coach Beck's warriors
put up such an unexpected battle
that the second team only played in
the last few minutes of the game.
At the end of the first half of the
game the score was 6 to in favor
of Dubuque. They should not have
made a point in that half. Manches-
