WANTS TAX NEWS.-We would
like to have Bro. Geo. V. Wells write
in The Day Book and tell us some
thing about the tax amendment that
is going to be put over at Springfield
in the near future. The people would
like to know if it is on the square and
what they really want. - John H..

THE RACE QUESTION: notice
that you are all mussed up with in
dignation when you heard that some
real black negroes were dancing
with some real white girls, thereby
showing that you are as ignorant, in
some respects, as the Committee of
Fifteen or the policewOman who in
Vestigates and reports to the powers
that be, and to prove that you, nor
any one else, are not able to pick
white girls from the white colored
girls ask you to send committee,
the same Is or the same police
woman, to all the big stores down
town, Fields, the Fair, Mandel Bros.
Not one of them employ cOlored cash
girls or salesladies and l know for a
fact that white colored girls are en-
ployed by all of them. And 1 wish
your wise committee to pick them.
It will turn out as did the case that
was tried in a Chicago court, where
a white colored girl was employed
by a certain business man, and when
he found out that the girl was col
ored she was discharged, She
brought suit and the attorney tried
to pick two white cOlored girls from
five and failed. They selected white
Caucasians and never one of the col
Ored girls.
As for the races mixing, say, Bro.
Cochran, they have been mixing ever
since the first black girl landed in the
United States, and will continue to
do so unless every white man in the
south is sterilized, and, might add, a
great many in the north. While you
may be too good for earth and not
good enough for heaven, there are a
few white colOred girl beauties that

have been a reader of The Day Book
since the first issue. S. l am surprised
to find our esteemed N. D. Cochran
advocating the election of Wilson
and more surprised at the reasons
he gives for it. 1 gave him credit
for a deeper insight into the causes
Of our present deplorable condition,
where the few are piling up vast
wealth and the many are in poverty.
Suppose the Democrats are elect
ed and have a majority in both
houses? What good will that do the
workers who produce all wealth?
The best they can expect is "a Iiv-
ing wage" and only those who are
fortunate enough to find jobs will get
even that.
Such are the conditions after all
these years of Republican and DEM
Ocratic rule. Must we try it again

would make you late getting home.
OF course, l give you credit for being
at the least part human, or you may
be like the southern white gentleman
who married one of our beauties.
After living with her for eight years
and having five children by the girl
he found out she was cOlOred. He
then sought a divorce. The case
came to trial. After hearing part of
the evidence the judge took the case
from the jury, declaring that if a
divorce was granted on the grounds
presented it would affect 1000 of the
best families in New Orleans, where
the case was tried. Furthermore, if
a person has 1 per cent Of African
blood, we claim her, if we can beat
the white man to her. You seem to
think it a crime for the races to mix.
We do not care any more about your
society than you do about ours. Why
should we care? We have as pretty
women as you, as educated and re-
fined women as you, and the homes
of our refined cOlOred citizens you
know nothing about and the only
way you would gain an entrance to
them is with a jimmy. No hard feel

ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY
FARM BUREAU
BERT L. FRANCE
Farm Adviser

tically every farmer VINO is planning
on growing wheat during the coming
year, and who attended these meet
ings indicated his willingness and de-
sire to put into practice the things
recommended for controlling the Hes
sian fly. We have often emphasized
through these columns the Importance
of cooperation, and it is to be hoped
that the farmers of this county will
cooperate to the end that the Hessian
flymay be practically eliminated from
the whet crop of the coming year. The
recommendations given by Prof. Tai
bert are simple, practical and efficient.
We have the pleasure of publishing
an article written exclusively for the
farmers of ST. Francois county by
Prof. Talbert. The following are Mr.
Talbert's recommendation in his
words for controlling the Hessian fly:
Lectures Given on the Hessian Fly in
st. Francois County from July 20
to 26, Inclusive, by Thos. ]. Tai
bert.
That tie Hessian fly is an insect
which is capable of doing great dam
age to the wheat crop has been fully
demonstrated during the past year.
In many of the wheat fields in st.
Francois county, the yield was not
more than or A bushels to the acre
this year, and in some cases the
fields were not even harvested, while
in other cases the farmer did not OBJ
tain or get back his seed wheat.
The Hessian fly is comfortable in
sect. 1t is not necessary to stop
growing wheat in order to bring this
insect under control. The best farm
practices will not only control the
Hessian fly, but will at the some time
increase the yield of wheat, and it is
really fortunate for the farmer that
he could kill the Hessian fly, and at
the same time increase his yield of
wheat per acre.
In order to control the Hessian fly,
as with any other insect pest, we must
have an understanding of its life his
tory, habits and the food plants upon
