ARKANSAS APPLES.

Arkansas apples, and those from northwes+ Arkansas, are the prime favorites at Cunning, Nebraska. The following letter was received fore part of this week from D. J. Taylor, and speaks for itself:
 Cunning, Nebr., April 16, 1915. Springdale News,
 Springdale, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 Last fall we bought 150 bushels of Washington County, Arkansas, ap- ples, and stored them in our cellar. W have few left and am sending you sample by parcel post so that your people can see the condition they are in seven months after pick ing. and out of car of bulk apples. We handle fruit from the west, east and south. but the fruit from northwest Arkansas looks the best, tastes the best, and sells better than that from any other state.
 Yours truly,
 D. J. Taylor.
 The apples arrived at this office in due time, and were five in number three Ganos and two Collins Red, and they are in good shape. The apples created quite a little excitement and comment from the local fruit men, many of whom were interested ID the very question answered by the letter from MT. Taylor, and the ap- pies to show for themselves. Many were interested in the keeping quail ties of the apples, after they were shipped in bulk The apples are now on display at the Ownbey Drug Co.

The oulnIpe That Does Not Affect The Head

Premium Day-May l.
The Colorado statesman., 1915-11-20

He seldom told stories on these occa-
sions, though, as he did while speak
ing to other audiences.
The three greatest speeches of his
career were made during my time at
Tuskegee: the Atlanta speech, which
the secretary of the United States
treasury put on file at Washington; !;
the speech at the unveiling of the
monument to Robert Gould Shaw, and
the one at the Peace Jubilee in Chi
cago. He taught my class in Psychol-
ogy part of the time and one day after
recitation was over he read his Peace
Jubilee speech to the class. A few
days later he delivered this speech
and every important paper in the coun-
try reproduced it.
He never taught race inferiority, but
impressed upon the Negro the impor-
tance of vocational training. Eighty
per cent of the Negroes live by farm
ing. Why should they not be good
farmers?
The masses of all people live by
working with their hands. Why
shouldn't the Negro?
The training of the head, the heart
and the hand has been advocated by
the founder of Tuskegee and it's influ-
ence has spread throughout the uni
verse.
Tuskegee is his monument, and this
monument should be maintained by an
endowment of several millions of dol

PERSONAL REcoLLEcTIoNS OF
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
A. G. EalIinas.


My first recollection of having seen
Booker T. Washington was upon his
return to Tuskegee just after he had
delivered his famous Atlanta address.
Although the press throughout the
country was lauding him to the high
est, pronouncing him Americas fore
most Negro, the Moses of his race, and
the wizard of Tuskegee, he returned
to the school unannounced, conducted
chapel services that evening and not
one word was said regarding his great
speech.
While working in his office, he told
me to go and get a certain book After
making what l considered thorough
search without success, | returned and
told Mr.. Washington | couldn't find
the book. He looked me squarely in
the eye and said, Young man, this
institution is not run on excuses; you
go and don't return until you bring
that book with you" discovered that
i hadn't half looked, and soon returned
with the book
He had many peculiarities, one of
which was he wouldn't take pills, and
when asking doctor to prescribe he
would tell him to prescribe something
other than pills.
Another popularity was that he
made horse go at break-neck speed
while driving. He took me to the
town of Tuskegee with him one day
and my nerves were on edge all the
time on account of his fast driving.
Cleanliness was one of his hobbies,
and this was evidenced by the abso-
lutte clean condition of the campus,
dormitories and class room at all
tunes. Waste paper on the floors and
grounds is unknown at Tuskegee.
One of the great features OF stu
dent life at Tuskegee was Mr. Wash
ington's Sunday evening talks. For
about fifteen minutes he would hold
the wrapt attention OF students and
teachers upon some practical subject.

coLoRED CITIZENS LEAGUE.

At the regular meeting of the
League held at 1925 Twenty-first
street on Tuesday, 10th inst, extraor-
dinary interest was evinced which re-
suited in number of persons becom-
ing members. After the usual trans
action of business, resolutions were
offered by Joseph d. d. Rivers sec
onded by Mrs. Ida De Priest (mem-
bers of the executive board), in ref
erence to the late DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington. The following comprise the
resolutions which were adopted:
The Colorado statesman., 1915-11-20

eouSneSS winch they served, prepar-
ing us for obedience to the summons
when it comes, SO that we will be
fitted for the companionship of illus
trious men as Washington, whose
lives and achievements have adorned
the pages of history. In the death of
this champion of human rights the
whole country has suffered great
and permanent loss. but the loss is
more keenly felt by the people of his
race who are familiar with his solu-
ton of the grave racial problem that
confronts this country, and the i'm
pressions that he made upon rich and
poor, high and low, by the God-given
gift and talent he possessed, will open
an ingress to the most closeted arena
of the selfish and drastic opponents
of his followers.
In the prime of life he was cut off,
| would say, due to his indefatigable
energy, and even when he felt his
strength waning, there seemed
something uncomfortable that goaded
him to action more and more.
Greater love hath no man than
this that man lay down his life for
his friends"-the words OF the great
est exponent of love from man, and
when l think of the usefulness of our
departed leader to his fellowmen the
world over | can verify say the ex-
preston in true faith is applicable to
him. In the words of Henry A. Buch-
tel, chancellor of the Denver Univer-
sity, Colorado, who was intimately
acquainted with the deceased, when
he stated: Booker T. Washington
was an honor to the human race: to
men of all colors. He won the crown
of n noble and purposeful life. He
will be held in everlasting honor here
on earth where his brave work was
done. Now he has received his re-
ward in the heavenly world" also,
Dean II. Martyr Hart, who, in part
said: "A man may die and it may
seem that his work will be impeded
if not obliterated, but an individual
life is not necessary for the compile
tion of Gods intentions; and Booker
It. Washington has sown broadcast
too much good seed not to insure
wider sowing and the certainty n rich
harvest. He has gone to his reward

heartfelt sympathy in this your great

erous other similar expressions that
have come to me, that the poet was
correct in his lines:
'Fleecy locks and dark complexion,
Do not alter Natures claim;
Skins may differ but-Affection
Dwells in black and white the
same"
Therefore from the enconiums on
the life and character of DIR. Wash
ington as are pronounced by disting-
uished persons of the United States
and the world at large, no better con-
ISOLATION could be offered by me to
his sorrowing family and large circle

The good deeds of a great man

from memory, and realizing the fact
that Washington belonged to that

the spirit which lent him inspiration

in the words of Addison, Men of

Booker belongs. Having had the
privileged opportunity of his associa
tion at Hampton, Va, from 1879 to
1881, l was impressed in an eXtraor-
dinary degree with his calm, patient
bearing in the course of instruction
he gave to myself and others, which
made us entertain the loftiest ideas
for achieving the most ennobling
standards. 1t could clearly be seen
from that time that Washington
exhibited traits that would result in
his becoming.
A Man of Men-A Great Man.
This fact stands unchallenged, un-
disputed, uncriticized, as for nearly
thirty-five of the fifty-eight years of
his existence working as giant,
building a world about and around
him, supported by Presidents, fos-
tered by eminent personalities of the
nation, complimented by potentates of
foreign lands, and encouraged by the
people of his race, he always had
vision fixed firmly but modestly upon
the high goal and the crowning scene
of his life's ambitious activities. l
can well remember his remarks to me
thirty-four years ago when he decided
to go to Alabama by the request of
General S. C. Armstrong, principal of
the Hampton Neutrality-suspicious. / go
to the South, you go to the West; we
work for humanity's cause, and if we
shall have done our best angels can't
do more" This, to my mind, formed
the basic reason for his having forded
the River of Prejudice and cruelty
and bridged the stream of Discomfort
