Members Read Papers.

Members Read Papers.
The program of the afternoon was
arranged by the forestry committee
and the chairman of the committee,
Mrs. gorge F. Cheney, presented the
speaker. There were two papers, one
by Sidney Hammond Thompson on
Creation of National Forest in the
Appalachian Region" and one by Mrs
Hortense Peters Thompson on Some
Experiences of Forester's Wife"
Mrs. Thompson read her husbands
paper which was technical and was
really an answer to the question fire.
quently asked him what is your
work ?" He explained the method of
procedure of purchasing tract for
government use and gave a more ex-
plicit account of his share Of the
work which is that of appraisal.
Magnitude of Forestry Work.
The paper made one realize the
magnitude of the work of the forestry
department of our government and
how valuable it must prove in years to
come. Mrs. Thompson's experiences
were related in an informal manner
and were listened to with closest at
tention. Some of them were decidedly
adventurous and showed that the life
is not free from danger. Others were
humorous in the extreme while some
of her stories of the poverty-stricken
homes of Tennessee and Georgia noun
taineers bordered closely on the pa
thetic..
The club, after considerable discus
sion, voted to purchase a $50 Liberty
bond, the means of raising the money
for same to be left to the executive
board which will be called together
at a near date. So

Liberty loan bonds was presented to
the club by Gov. Henry G. Ide. He
explained the points of difference be-
tween this issue and the first and told
why the bonds are a. good
investment for women. He advised
the sale of the bonds of the first is
sue and the use of the money thus Sc
cured for the purchase of bonds of
the second issue. In this way a high
er rate of interest is secured. He also
explained how it is possible to buy
bonds without drawing money from
the savings bank until the first of
January. Although these bonds will
be taxable under certain conditions
the ordinary investor will not be af-
fected and U. S. government bonds are
conceded to be the safest investment
in the world.

CONSERVATION
UP TO WOMEN
- r.
st. Johnsbury Club Hears
!, Addresses on Liberty
Loan and Food.

The October meeting of the st.
Johnsbury lfWoman's club might well
be classed as patriotic meeting, the
club voting to buy a $50 Liberty bond
after devoting much of the afternoon
to Hoover's message and to the Sec
ond issue of Liberty loan bonds.
James P. Taylor of the Greater Yer
mont association, came to the meeting
from the Commercial club gathering
at the armory and made an urgent
appeal to the women to respond to
the demands of the government to
conserve the resources of the home.
He spoke of the campaign to be
:waged during the week of October
21-28, during which it is hoped to
reach every household in the state.
The woman at the head Of each house
will be asked to sign a card, agreeing
to carry out all the requests of the
government. Reports of the progress
made in each town will be reported
to headquarters at Burlington every
night, and from there compiled re-
turns will be sent to Washington.
"De Your PART
Mr. Taylor read the message which
Hoover sent to the war convention at
Rutland and said that a copy is to
be hung on the walls of every school
house in the state. In closing he
said, For heavens sake, for Hoover's
sake, do you part" After Mr.. Taylor
finished the president expressed her
regret that he had said nothing about
tobacco for she felt that the men
should be willing to give up tobacco
if the women must omit sugar and
white flour from their household
menus.

is at the mercy of the alien from
afar, he is respectful to his white
brother and he has not as yet been
made to feel as free citizen.
On the railroad cars he is pushed
off in a corner. In the railway sta
lions he must sit under sign, "This
Row of Seats for Colored People,"
and on the other side he reads, this
row of seats for white people," But
ere when he looks about he always
finds his row in some close corner
under the smoke and at the foot of
the white mans boot black stand and
the white brother may sit where he
sees fit, let it be on the Negroes seat
or what not. Now as matter Of fact
the well-thinking Negroes and whites
do not burden their minds with social
equalities, and the white man who
entertains the idea that we long for
such is sadly mistaken. We want
equal civil rights that's ALL. They
let human instince control that and
no man let him be black or white
feels better away from his own than
does he with his own. To make a
long story short I will say emphati-
cally and unhesitatingly that the
seat of the whole trouble broods in
! the heart and until the white preach
ers and the black preachers and all
the leaders teach true religion to
their respective races, until hatred
and chickering's have died and human
ity becomes known by all men, peace
I here will never abide until the great
Prince Of Peace comes and sets all

WHAT WILL BE THE DESTINY OF
THE BLACK MAN IN
AMERICA?
BY William Cheers,

This is the question which | have
been asking myself since I began
learning to think. Indeed it appears
to me that there is no problem con-
fronting the American diplomat let
him be from the highest class of
thinkers of either the white or black
races There was time when
neither the white man or the Negro
gave this matter any serious con-
sideration first because the white
man who had for many years seen
the Negro just as he would see any
other dumb animal and noting his
then inability to cope with other
civilized races had no need to enter
tain any considerations as to the
Negroes coming aspiration for more
intellect, more possessions and more
freedom of speech and square rights
as a citizen. Secondly, the Negro
himself not possessing those anx-
leties was satisfied at his present be-
ing. He had never known freedom.
ne had never realized that there was
place for him in the category of
men of nobility and capabilities
equivalent to any other race. Hence
the matter did not arrest the minds
OF either race with any degree of
seriousness. But now that the cloud
OF ignorance his bursted and the
chains and shackles of human imped-
iments have been exposed to the ewes
OF the once fettered and blinded
creature he, the black man, looks
about to detect any and every in
Justice that is being meted to him.
He cries now for education that he
may make a better citizen, he gets it
and the more he gets the clearer he
sees the weaknesses of both himself
and his white brother-then he
mollrns to know his destiny. In
former years he wearied not because
he knew not what was due him, now
he sees clearly what he is supposed
to have and get without any SEEM
ing cause other than prejudice he is
debarred from his civil rights like an
OK from his daily food. He is not al
lowed equal rights and freedom of
speech in his own Defense What will
be the destiny of the American Ne
gro? He is loyal to his stars and
stripes, he is humble in service, he

not so Immediately concerned in the
education of the Negro race as the
South or the Negroes themselves, the
northern point of view and northern
philanthropy are just as essential to
the proper solution of the veXed pro-
blem as the other two elements. The
total annual contribution of the North
for the current expenses of the private
fully a million and half is given by
schools aggregates $2,5000OO. OF this
fully a million and half is given by
the white churches for their denOmina-
tional schools and another $1,000,000 is
contributed by individual donors and
churches for the maintenance of the
Independent institutions, Property
valuations in the private institutions
founded by northern gifts now amount
to $24,OO0,OO0."
The conclusion drawn by the report
are in brief as follows:
(1) That there is a pressingneed for
increased public school facilities for
Negroes in the South.
GU That the aid of philanthropy
should be continued with the present
liberality until the South has attained
to better economic condition.
CD That all education should stress
first, the development of character, in
GLIDING the simple but fundamental
virtues of cleanliness, order, persevel
ance, and the qualities essential Il
the home, and second, adaptation to TIT
needs Of the pupil and the community
(4) That supervision of both publi
and private educational efforts shoult
be increased, so that all agencies ma,
be correlated with each other, SCUM
business methods established, organ
cation of work suited to income an
