BIG PURSE FOR
SIX-ROUND BOUT
Johnny klIbane Will Attempt to An
mex Benny Leonard's Lightweight
TitIe-$1O,OOO for Each.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 25.-The
biggest purse ever hung up for a six
round no-decision bout here will in
spire Johnny KiIbane tonight in his
second attempt to annex to his crown
Of featherweigln champion. the jewel
of Benny Ieonard's lightweight title.
The two champions will draw $4,000
piece for the go. Kilbane's first
trial at annexation was against Fred
die Welsh and it wasn't a success.
Welsh's fighting successor was willing
to give him an early chance.
There will be no great disparity In
weights Of the two champions.
: Both will weigh in at eight o'clock
i at 1873 pounds.
z Leonard has everything to lose in
the mill and little except reputation
and cash to gain. If he defeats XII
bane he can't claim the featherweight
title, because the weight is above that
limit, but If Kilbane knocks out the
Harlemite he is entitled to the crown;
The prospects today were for splendid
weather, insuring a record breaking
crowd at Shibe park, where ring has
been erected over the home plate.
Kilbane concluded his training early
today and will drive his flivver to the
ring side tonight. Leonard and great
crowd OF his admirers will arrive late
this afternoon. Both are reported In
splendid shape. Here in Philadelphia
the odds fractiona1ly favored the
Cleveland champion.

SOME WEEDS
ARE VALUABLE
Shortage Of Herbs That Were Form
erIy Available In Europe Makes
Gathering Here Worth
While,

A large number of drug plants grow
in Iowa, which often pass as weeds.
Because the war has cut off large
part of the supply Of these plants
that was formerly imported from
Europe, it will be patriotic and pro-
fitable to collect them and sell them
to the drug trade Of the country,
says the head of the botany depart
ment at Iowa State college. He
names the drug plants of the state:
Dandelions-Collect roots In fan or
early spring, wash and dry them.
Quack grass-Gather roots tn the
spring.
Blood root-Gather roots when
seeds ripen.
Mandrake or May apple-Gather,
wash and dry roots.
Wahoo-Common, small, erect
shrub found on creek banks. Strip
bark and dry it.
Mountain ash-Gather ripe berries
in September
Witch hazel--Gather bark of young
twigs and roots.
Horse weed-Gather whole fresh
plant.
Sassafras-Gather bark and roots
Slippery elm-Gather inner bark.
Elder-Gather flowers and dry
carefully.
Black haw-Gather bark from
young branches.
Ba1ck henbane-Col1ect and dry

Unison weed-Gather and dry

NEW YORK, July 25.-"The White
Sox are a bunch of roaring, tearing
baseball fighters, and that's what I'm
counting on mostly to carry us into

ence Rowland, manager OF the Amer
lean league leaders today.
my boys have only begun to light.
Their heads are up and with lead
like they've got, I'm confident 1t will
take something the east doesn't pos
sess this year to drag us from the
peak.
We've got the class this year.
We've got wonderful fielding team
and team that is beginning to hit.
The pitching staff is steady, without
weak part in it's makeup"
Rowland prepared no alibis to take
back to Chicago If he fails to hold
the crest. He declared every man Is
In the best possible shape. not an
Injury-not even a bad cold. This
fellow Risberg is doing as much as
anyone to hold us on top" the Com
lskey leader continued.
Hes one of the best ball players
that ever came out of a minor league.
A remarkable fielder and a lightning
thinker, he fits in well with Collins
nd--Weaver. Eddie Collins is play
ing the greatest fielding game of his
career and he's beginning to hit"
Rowland looks for no soft spots
on his trip through New York, Bos-
ton, Washington, Philadelphia and
Cleveland. He expects tough argu-
ments from every station.
But the boys are too busy figuring
on winning to worry. Pennant may
come or go this trip, but they are
sure to be the winners.
George Burns added variety for
Giant fans by trying to score around

The Reds became acquainted with
their fifth straight over the National

Stanley Coveleske held the Sena-
tors to three hits, but Walter John

TOO MUCH GREEK AND LATIN.

According to a survey made by Thomas
Jesse Jones and published by the United
States bureau of education, in southern pri-
vate schools more Latin and Greek is taught
than they teach in Massachusetts, although
the 10000 teachers in these schools have
themselves had schooling only as far as the
sixth elementary grade or less. Which
prompts this gentleman to rise and remark
that 1t appears the students are more in
terested in becoming gentlemen than in
learning how to make good living. Higher
education for our people has always been
trowned upon by a class of people who
Thought they understood BROKER IT,
Washington's methods.
Vocational training was conceived in
his brain and carried into effect at Tuske-
gee Institute. It proved so successful it
attracted the attention Of the teaching
world and now no school is considered up
to standard if. it has not facilities for
teaching the hands as well as the brain

THE PASSING THRONC
A DIFFERENT STORY TOLD.

The Associate Press sent out a different
story when the Kentucky white soldiers ran
amuck and beat up lot Of colored people
than it did when the black soldiers ran
amuck and avenged the dastardly outrages
that had been perpetrated upon them from
time to time by the white citizens Of Texas
1t had no censure for the white soldiers,
but it pronounced the colored soldiers saw
ages for their retaliatory acts. In other
words the same acts committed by a white
soldier and commended by the general pub
lie (white) is pronounced the most heinous
of crimes, when committed by black sold
iers. There has never been a disturbance
of riOtOus nature between whites and
blacks in the United States, in which the
blacks were the aggressors. Two centuries
of subsection to the whites Of this country
has made of the blacks quiet and submits
sive people and they have to be imposed
upon almost beyond human endurance be-
fore they are provoked to defend themselves
to say nothing Of retaliation. The average
white man of the South is not willing to
even let the black man pursue the even
tenor of his way by himself but he inter-
feres with him wherever and whenever he
meets him, and if he resents it the cowardly
cur will get a crowd Of like number of
human hyenas to himself and then proceed
to put the ''nigger" in his place. Of course
the knowledge and wisdom of the world
you have, but you have not yet learned to
do unto others as you would have them
dO to yOu.'

NOT so WORSE AFTER ALL.

"1ou never miss the water until the we'll
runs dry, is time worn addage, and you
never know that you are thirsty until you
hear that there is no water to be had. With
in the past twelve months more than almost
million colOred folks have left the South
and come North, East and West and are
still coming and the autocratic white man
OF the South has taken alarm lest he looses
the help that he has been able to dog
around for the past two hundred years on
either no pay or so little pay that it was
the same as no pay, and now he is asking,
What can we do to make you colored
folks content in the South? ''The white
man OF the South is your best friend and
wants you to remain in the South among
us, and to that end many things are be-
ing done or planned to be done for the col
ored folks by those hell devils for their
betterment such as was never before dream
ed of. The following from a southern cor
respondent of the Christian Science Monitor
Is sef-explanatory:
'Loulsiana is planning to do more for

has been increased by $4,000, half of which
comes from several foreign funds, and the
remainder from contributions of citizens
who have been persuaded that the only way
in which the Negro can be Ike kept in the
South is by giving him better wages and
surrounding him with as good conditions
and as great opportunities as he can find
in the North
"A special agent has just been employed
to take charge Of the FIRE eeducation of the
Negroes along lines of farming cattle and
poultry raising, carpentering, repair work,
gardening and similar branches In addi-
ton, the agent will have supervision over
the canning work of Negro women in five
parishes, all regular industrial work for the
blacks and special industrial work in three
parish schools where Negroes are taught
trades
1.-The Jeans fund will allow $4,000 this
year for industrial work in the regular term

tribute $500 to any community which erects
Negro school. Of the total of $4,000 Of
increased appropriations, 1864 is to be al
loted for regular work. $4,000 for canning
work, and $500 for parish training schools.

coLoRED FOLKS COME WEST,

Hundreds Of opportunities are opening up
every day for colored help in the North
west and if you have any interest in the
colored men, women and children in the
South, where there is an everlasting strife
between the blacks and whites it would be
humane Tor you to write to them and try
to induce them to come to the Northwest
and thereby relieve the South of it's cause
OF friction and at the same time put those
colored folk in a position to better their
conditions thousand per cent Once upon
time only colored women were in demand
in the Northwest and the men had to do
such odd jobs as came their way, but at
present both men and women are in de-
mand and at wages bordering on to the
fabulous, in comparison to what they are
getting in the South. It is no exaxgeration
to say, one thousand colored women could
find employment in and about Seattle as
household servants at wages ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 per month and not over
worked at that. The wages for the men
range from $500 to $500 per day and as
much overtime as you are willing to do,
for which you get price and ah alf Lieu
tenant Rostom, president of the Protective
Benevolent Brotherhood, is endeavoring to
get more men here to fill the jobs that are
being offered and to that end he is sending
to various parts of the South for colored
help. Lets each and every one of us do
something to help get more here.
Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1917-09-08

The remainder Of the $4,000 will be dis
tributed in the industrial work among the
Negroes according to the needs of the var
iOus parishes.
"To date more than 1000 Negro women
and girls are canning vegetables and fruits
in parishes where agents are employed to
direct the work, and the territory thus SUI
pervised and directed will be largely in
creased this autumn and winter. Demon
STATIONS to the number Of 400 have been
held, at which $500 quarts were canned In
addition to this 5000 quarts Of vegetables
and fruits were conserved in the individual
homes. All this work has been done in two
months and is still in progress

Of colored patrons on their books and yet
there is not colored insurance solicitor in
the city that makes livelihood of the
business. In the opinion Of the writer there
is room for at least two real estate agents
and two insurance solicitors in the city
among the colored citizens and there should
be. Within the present year one or two
efforts have been made to establish real
estate business by colored men, but thus
far they have proven dismal failures and
though two are still trying to do rental,
collection and real estate business among
the colored citizens they are not making
much Roadway, owing to the lukewarmness
Of the colored citizens themselves The men
who are in the business at present are P.
Frazier, Hayden Richardson and Clarence
R. Anderson, and we suggest to them that
they in some way pool their issues and get
together and make united effort to handle
the business, which is rightfully theirs

THE MASSES AND THE CLASSES.

10 deny that the recent Labor Day pa
CANT in Seattle was not an imposing spec
tacle would be foolhardy, and if the capi-
tallsts that watched it pass up and down
the streets Of Seattle did not set up and
take notice then they did not show their
alleged good judgment. It was true case
OF the masses parading their strength for
the express purpose Of intimidating the
classes and it was a: strong indication of
the trouble that the United States seems
doomed to confront in the near future The
spirit Of organized labor, however, is not
founded on humanity, but on selishness.
1t has no desire to help working men and
women, who are not members of it's various
organizations Yea, it not only has no de-
sire to do so, but it is perfectly willing to
assist capitalists to rob all persons not men,
bers of it's organizations, if the capitalists
will only divide the swag with them on
basis that they themselves dictate, and thus
are the great mass Of humanity ground to
pieces between the lower and the upper
mll-stones-capital and organized labor
Sooner or later that condition Of affairs
will bring about state of anarchy through
out the United States and both of those die
tatorial powers will be completely over
thrown and then, what will follow, God
only knows. But men and women should
reason together and try to reach an annie
able adjustment of this great greed of gain
so common to this country at present, and
do unto others as they would have them do
to them.
