SHOOTING AT THE MARK.

The Negro of Colorado must learn
in school what the white boy absorbs
from association and environment.
The American White man in his Or
binary state is supremely conscious OF
his manhood prerogative. He may
be ignorant, poor or vicious; yet he
never forgets that he is a man. But
every feature of our civilization 1s
calculated to impress upon the Negro
a sense of his inferiority and to make
him feel and believe that he is good
for nothing but to be cast out and
trodden under foot of other men. A
race, like an individual that comprom-
ises it's own self-respect, paralyzes
and enfeebles its own energies. Now
for the Negroes of Colorado to give
it out to the world that all that the
Negro in Colorado wants and aspires
to is a menial job, will only enter a
wedge of our inferiority SO deeply
into Colorado's mind of fairness and
prosperous civilization that it will
take years for our children to eradi-
cate. To inculcate the principle of
hope and progressive aspiration should
be the mission of our leaders. What
have the so-called Negro leaders in
Colorado to offer you? Freedom and
Independence? Destroy this and all
is lost; preserve it and the political
rights, civil privileges, industrial op-
portunities be taken away for the
time, they will all be regained. Kind
reader, understand by the develop
ment of manhood on the part of the
Negro, nothing is farther from our
thought than the inculcation of that
pugnacious, defiant disposition which
vents itself in wild CALCULATIONS and
impotent screaming against the evils
of society. We mean the full appreci-
alton of essential human qualities and
claims, and the firm, unyielding de-
termination to press forward to the
highest mark possible and not to be
severed from it's pursuit by doubt, de-
nial, danger, rebuff, ridicule, insult
and contemptuous treatment. Negroes
of Colorado you may not have it with
in your power to resist or overcome
these things, but you must preserve
the integrity of your own souls. Cour-
age and self-confidence have won
many magnificent victories for others
and why if applied Alright will it not
win for us?

place on 25th ST. They have our own
medical physician who has lectureo
them on first aid" remedies and we
understand that all our professional
men and women will be given
chance to come before them and en-
tighten them in some particular help
full line in which they are actively en-.
gagged. Such associations bring con
fidence and faith in our own people,
when they know things can be done
by the actual doing of the thing 1t,
self. Already the Y. w. G. A. has
been a tremendous blessing. Girls
are crowding the gym and many will

is addressed. Every cent of the mon
ey raised on this occasion will be de-
voted to the work Of foreign missions.

REFUSING
TO HANDLE FERTILIZER

Columbus, Ca, March 22.-Whilc
the farmers are reported TO be plant
ing more cotton in Muscogce county
this season than in the last two years,
anu while there is an inclination Oh
the part of the planters to use more
fertilizer than ever, still the sales Of
the local companies are off this sea
son as compared to last year, and the
answer is given in the fact that the
merchants who have handled the fer
tilizer in the past for the farmers are
not doing it this year.
One fertilizer man stated this morn
ing that while the merchants were lot
ting some of the farmers have tho
fertilizer it was in smaller lots than
in the past and that in many instan-
ces some farmers were not getting it
at all.
In the case with the big planters the
fertilizer companies themselves are
selling direct, but these instances arc
rare.
1t means that the output Of the
crops will not be what they should be,
and that while a larger crop is being
planted larged yield is not to be re-
ceived, as the cotton will not develop
without fertilizer

WOOD THAT is USED AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR LARD

SU 0S111 = TUX LARD
The uses of wood were so numerous
in the normal world before the break
ing out of the great war that it would
have required a brave prophet to say
that the list of uses could be extend
ed. Wood has been companion of
man since his advent on earth, and it
was believed by most persons that
all the uses to which it could be put
had been discovered. But it is a
trite saying that wonders will never
cease, and in the matter of wood a
number of important discoveries have
been made and great number have
been reported as made. Some of
the discoveries reported should be
subjected to discount. Man has
imagination and good many imagin-
ings dressed up in technical words
or the language Of science get into
print.
There seems to be no doubt that in
Germany and Austria wood pulp or
wood fiber has been substituted for
cotton in the making Of explosives.
This information came from German
sources before the war was a year
old, and was generally doubted. The
use of the fiber of wood as an absorb
ent of nitric acid and the agent for
supplying carbon for combustion of
explosives had been previously expert
mented with, but with little success,
cotton being found much superior. The
fact that wood fiber is being used in
German ammunition is apparently ad-
mitted now by British and French au-
thorities, and the propelling and
bursting charges of German shell and
shrapnel are reported as effective. No
deteriorations in German explosives is
observable, say those men who have
warrant to express opinions
Less is heard now than a few
months ago about the use of wood as
substitute for or as an adulterant
Of bread. At the time of the publ
cation of the wood-bread stories a
number Of historic precedents were
cited that in sieges and periods of
famine men had made substitute for
bread out Of the green wood or sap
wood of various trees such, for ex-
ample, as the birch, larch, spruce, fir,
maple and the pine.
One of the most remarkable of the
reputed new uses for wood comes in a
statement made to the Canadian For
estry association that a mill company
has developed by-product from pulp
wood which is to be placed on the
market as substitute for lard. The
claim is made that the substitute as a
cooking fat is purer in composition,
superior to and more economical than
pure lard. In the news reports from
Canada it is said that government Of
icials are interested, because they
think they see in Sweden's prohibition
of the export of pulp wood to Britain
the opening up of new supply of raw
material for Germany from which a
substitute for lard may be obtained.

Younu Men For Civic Work.

For the purpose of utilizing the en-
ergy and enthusiasm of the young
men of New Orleans. La, in behalf
of the development of the commun-
ity a young mems branch of the New
Orleans Association of Commerce has
been organized. The efforts of this

earlier period than has formerly been
the practice in the work of cooper
ating for the civic and commercial
advancement Of the community. OPP
Grating under a plan which has been
worked out with great care, it is an
ticipated that by this means many
trained leaders and workers will be
produced within the association.
