What People
Are Saying
An Appeal to Reason.

On the question of "The Graduation
Dress" we merely wish to state the
truth Of the matter to the citizens of
Chickasha.
The school board had nothing what
ever to do in the selection of the cap
and gown, as the senior class by a
vote of 22 to 10 agreed that they should
be worn, and this was approved by the
board two days after the editor OF the
Labor Headlight made the statement
blaming the school board with attempt
ing to make monkeys and monkeyetts
out of the seniors.
This question has been agitated for
the past several years in the senior
year but the sweet girl graduate has
never before agreed to deprive herself
Of the joy of an elaborate decoration"
on this occasion.
Our reasons for adopting this mode
of dress are first it has always been
a drawback to the harmony of the
class because some girl is more ex-
Quisitely dressed than her classmate.
and. moreover, the leading high
schools of cur nation have adopted
this same system and we see no rea-
son why we are not one OF the leading
high schools. (Of course. it is useless
TO try to convince a Socialist that ii
could possibly be under Democratic
rule)
Mr. Bennett refers to the color as
a jet black, but he has either malic-
iously attempted to deceive the public
or he has been shamefully misin-
formed, for the color Of the high school
cap and gown is gray

GIVE POINTERS ON
PEACH INDUSTRY
BY United Press.

~ ~ufAtb iitSH.
washington, April 7.-How general
the peach industry has become is
brought out strongly in bulletin Just
issued By the department Of agricul-
ture, in which it was shown that 80 OF
the As states have peach orchards OF
commercial Importance It was point
ed out that peaches do we'll on a wide
range of types Of soil. including even
sume OF the moderately heavy
loans and clays. A prime prere-
Quisite, however. is that the soil be
well drained Peaches will not grow
successfully on poorly drained soils
While requiring fairly fertile soil,
peach trees do not particularly require
& very large amount OF nitrogen. Soil
very rich in nitrogen is not to be de
sired as general rule, since it is
likely to induce an excessive growth
Ct foliage Alkali soils are not suitable
for peaches, though a small amount OF
alkal will not be necessarily dangerous.
i is safer, however, to avoid them as
. general rule as far as possible,
Ground that is higher than the usr-
rounding country is usually desirable
for peach orchards, since frosts are not
SO likely to injure the trees. Height
above sea leyel is not so important in
this particular as height above the
surrounding country, on account OF the
tendency of cold air to settle to the
lowest levels. Danger Of frost is also
minimized II the peach orchards are
rear large body OF water. Due to the
fact that water in large bodies warns
UP more slowly in the spring than the
nearby land, II has a tendency to
check early blossoming, with the re-
suit that there is less danger of frost
destroying the crop after a few warm
days. In the fall frosts are delayed in
similar manner, because the large
body of water. having absorbed much
heat during the summer, cools off in
the fall more slowly than the atmos-
phere, and hence tends to keep the
temperature within its zone OF influ-
ence warmer than it would otherwise
be.

Upon His Death-Bed.

At the last General Convention
of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, which was held in the
City of New York, during the fall
Of 1918, a special "Commission"
was appointed to report on the
question of NEGRO Bishops" to
the same body which meets next
year, in the city of St. Louis.
Among those appointed on that
Commission was the late Rev. DR..
William Meade Clark, editor Of
the "Southern Churchman," Rich
mond, Va. For many years back
DR.. Clark had been an ardent ad-
vocate Of NEGRO Bishops" The
Doctor was taken sick, with a
serious ma1ady. He knew that
soon he must die. However, he
determined to discharge, as far
as possible, the duty laid upon
him by the General Convention.
Forty-eight hours before his
death he handed down his last
"editoria1s" for the "Southern
Churchman." These were a series
of able arguments in favor Of the
proposition. The fact that they
were written upon "his death-bed"
invest them with a peculiar and
pathetic value. With this short
explanation, our readers will ad-
equately appreciate one of these
arguments" which we present
elsewhere in this issue. 1t is not
simply thing of interest to col
.ored Episcopalians, but to Ne
groes everywhere. In a special
sense, however, to the colored
Ipeop1e of both the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and the Prot
Iestant Episcopal Church.

The Scout movement among Our

than a passing notice, The move
ment should be aided by all Our

It IS a great pity that prejudice
in this State is so severe as to deny
our boys the privilege of afiliation
and recognition. Application was
made at headquarters for affiliatlon,
but we were told that no provision
had been made and the matter had
to be considered. Since then
some six months ago-nothlng has
been heard from the authorities
What a pity that such state and
condition should exist in a Chris
tan country where brotherly love
and Christian comfy should be the
prevailing features of our civlllza-
ton.
The young men at the head Of the
movement, Notwithstanding this set
back are organizing the boys into
Scouts and the girls into Camp
Fires, and they deserve encourage
ment and support.

The Grandfather Clause.

The history of the elimination Of
the Grandfather Clause from the
MANY political subterfuges to rob

M. Alexander was president, and
his able supporters throughout the

uted more by actual service and
