AC|PC0 NEGRO FAIR
PROVES FINE EVENT.
Keenest Interest Manifested
at Local Industrial City
in Fine Exhibits

Labor Day at Acipco proved to be Ne
gro Fair day.
1t also proved, according to the Off
Gals of the American Cast Iron Pipe
company, one of the most enlightenng
and diverting occasions in the manage
ment of this progressive corporation.
For months past General Manager John
S. Kent and President j. R. McWane
have backed up the efforts of Secre-
tary A. j. Spear of the Acipco Young
Mems Christian association and Ralph
r. Silver, the advertising manager, to-
wards making the annual Negro Fair
the event of the year at this industrial
beehive, located at the northern end of
Nineteenth street
That the efforts of these officials met
with success was attested by an attend
ance of about 25O0 negroes and several
hundred of the white employees. who were
more than agreeably surprised at some
of the things the negroes had accomp-
lished.
There We're booths for agricultural dis
plays and also for live stock. Each ne
gro employee of Acipco was given a booth
for either the live stock he owned or
for the display of his vegetables, and he
was also to decorate his booth in an at
tractive style. The result was fairly as
founding to the promoters of the fair.
1T was just as good as the annual
State Fair said General Manager John
Kent, land the negroes had everything
on hand in good shape. All kinds OF
vegetables were on display and some OF
the biggest sweet potatoes I ever did
see. AS for the live stock. there was
every kind of a four-legged animal Jer-
sey cows, fine specimens of mules, horses
colts, rab bits and chickens.
But that was only part of the fun
There were two ball games and anyone
who has witnessed negro ball games
knows just what amount of humor can
be squeezed out of two consecutive at
fairs of this sort. I've got a pain from
laughing too hard.
"And the chase of the greasy pig. That
was some fun also. There were all kinds
of athletic events and races, such as
the three-legged race, the sack race, and
the barrel race.
'In all of these events the negroes
participated with the best of humor, and
entered the contest with rare spirit, that
made the races affairs of interest. In
fact our negro fair reminded me OF q
three-ring circus, from the fact that sc
many good things Were happening, and
was just like a small boy. trying to see
everything going on at one and the same
time. I guess I missed some things, but
not much.
Towards evening. after the ball games
the beaux and bellies started dancing
and others formed quartets and sang
And thus ended one of the most inter.
esting days I've spent in many Ions
year.

corporation had declared holiday Tha'

rights" the nominee shouted, quickly,
pointing his finger at the questioner. The
audience rose to it's feet and applauded
loudly.
1t was the last of the hecklng, al
though there were two or three more
outbursts of cheering for Wilson. The
rest of Mr.. Hughes speech was devoted
to discussion of efficiency of govern
ment. At the conclusion of his address
Mr.. Hughes was cheered.
The nominees address tonight ended
his political activities of the day. He en-
tered Nashville this morning to find a
programme different from the one he
thought he would face in that it pro-
vided for a review of the Tennessee Ma
tional Guard and an address at the Labor
Day celebration here. The first he de-
clined on ground that he had no right
to review federalized state troops. The
proposal that he attend the Labor Day
celebration was dismissed when he was
advised that labor leaders arranging it
had not sent him a formal invitation to
attend and that if he spoke he would be
restricted to topic of nonpolitical
nature.
Mr.. Hughes left late tonight for Lex
ington, KY, where he will speak tomor-
row morning.

PEOPLE III FA1
The republicans first criticizing the
President for not insisting on the enact
rnent of his entire programme, criticize
that programme.
They declare the President is on record
irrespective of the fact that Congress
did not act on his suggestion-as IA
voring the purchase of peace by increas-
ing the burden of the people.
According to their argument he would
have pacified labor by granting it under
a guise of decreasing its hour of work,
an increase in wage; would have pacified
the railroads by granting them the right
to increase their freight rates, all at the
expense of the people who in bearing
the burden must pay for the blessing OF
both litigants, neither OF whom displayed
. particle of consideration for the Amer
lean public.
DEMOCRACY SMILES
Over the republican argument. democ-
racy smiles
1T is admitted that the task has not
been completed. 1t is admitted that
peace was obtained as a result of tempo
rary and nonabiding legislation. But the
point Is made that that which was done
can be undone if it is found to be with
out merit, whereas had strike occurred,
American business would have beer
ruined, American savings would have
been prodigally appropriated, and
hunger and distress would have marched
unimpeded throughout the land
1t is thought most likely that the above
will be the viewpoint of the American
people 1t is contended that while the
PEOPLE would not have peace-industria
81 the other variety-at the cost of hon
or; that while the people would not fol-
the preservation of money dispense with
principle, they would, nevertheless. sane
ton any compromise-even though tenn
porary-which would forestall the effor
OF ruin to displace the rule of plenty.

Big Auto Run Planned
For Appreciation Week

Hon. J. w. Parmley, who was in
the city last week between puffs of
his auto engine, has outlined an itin-
erary for the big automobile run to
commence on May 16 at the state
capitol at Pierre.
The Black and Yellow trail will
be followed to Huron, where the party
will be met by autos from the State
College at Bookings.
Wednesday, May II, the Winnipeg
and Gulf road will be Investigated
and travelled over, the combined party
meeting others from Milbank and Big
Stone at Bookings and proceeding
thence to Sioux Falls, where parties
from Elk Point and other southern
cities will be met.
The 18th will be Meridian road day
land in the evening the official party
will be in Watertown.
On the 18th the party will leave
Watertown for Summit to make a
run over the Yellowstone trail.
A schedule for each run will be
published, showing the minute of de-
parture from each town. Rules will
require cars to keep not less than 800
nor more than 500 feet apart. Each
car must carry a flag and a pennant
showing name of town also any ban
|ner appropriate. Cars will not pass
each other and racing will not be
permitted. This campaign is purely
in the interest of better roads and a
greater South Dakota.
Regardless of position, race, ma
%tionality, sex or previous condition
of servitude" the people of South
Dakota are invited and urged to be-
come members Of "the official party"
and to take in the entire run. If i'm
possible to do so, come with us a
day at least. 1t is going to mark a.
mile post in South Dakota's march
into a great future. In the more than
1900 miles of these runs there is not
a mile of waste. 1t is doubtful wheth-
.er any section of the western hemi-
sphere has as large an area with as
little waste land. 1t is worth a month
of a busy mans time to see what can
be seen in four days, ever if out only
for pleasure. But we are after bigger
things.

ton and Development week, public

warnings, to prepare them for a

asst night passed from the light and
Joy of Broadway into the Hell Of War.
1t happened in the heart of Long
Acre; in the theatre which is called
The V%itagraph.
The bills announced The Battle
Cry of Peace"
Outside the theatre men were sell
ing toys. Big bladders blown into
he shape of Zeppelins. Child's bub-
bles made 10 look like colored bombs.
The usual crowd strolled up and
down the highway. Signs blazed
from countless restaurants and tango
palaces. The newsboys yelled war
headlines from the "Wuxtras." And
III was as it had been for months
past.
We haf grown used to hearing
stories OF the war. They had lost
much, if not most, of their earlier
horror. nd Notwithstanding all that
we had heard and read, there were
still many in our midst who dreamt
of peace, as If there were no war
abroad.
1t was to throw the fear of God
into the hearts of those who would
or could not understand the need of
national preparedness that the man
agement of the Vitagraph Theatre
produced "The Battle Cry of Peace

To treat II as a moving picture
play in the accustomed way would
be to slieh' the deep meaning and
intent of the event. There have
been other film productions quite as
good as tbs, viewed as mere drama.
But this new venture of the Vita
graph Is more than that-a call to
arms, a clear. national appeal. a
prayer for help against those dull,
blind fools who see but cannot, read
or underst md the words of warning
on the wal.

AN OLD PROVERB.

! 1t used to be proverbial that, every
man (and it is certainly no. less true
Of womanJ is either fool or a ply
sician at forty. This means that
every intelligent person must learn
so much about caring for his own
health that by the time he is forty
years of age he can almost be reck-
oned as a physician.
Why, then, is there. so much talk by
doctors against "self-medication? A
woman can recognize all ordinary all
ments without calling on doctor. If
they are ailments distinctive to her
sex she generally knows enough to
use that greatest of all remedies for
such ailments, Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and likewise
she is familiar with the standard
remedies for other diseases,
