NEGROES sSWIHDtED
BY FALSE AGENTS

ATLANTA, Ca, June 2.-When the
Chicago Tribune, which boastfullY
proclaims itself THE Worlds Greatest
Newspaper" and which has been more
bitter, probably than any other paper
in the United States in its attacks on
the south and southern people, espec-
tally in regard to. the treatment OF
negroes, comes out in an editorial
strongly urging negroes to stay away
from the north, because southern PEG
pie will treat them better than north
ern people will treat them, it is GER
tainly time for the colored man to
strike the scales from his eyes and
wake up to his own best interests, in
the opinion of H. NJ. Stanley, state
commissioner of commerce and labor
of Georgia, who calls attention to the
recent Tribune editorial advising ne
groes to stick to their white folks who
understand them.
1
Randolph county may be cited as fair
ly typical of the misfortunes that le
along the pathway of the uneducated
Woodworking, honest colored mar
who leaves the community where thi
white folks know him an respect him
and fares forth into the world to seel
the rainbow lure of high wages.
This negro sold his farm, brought
his family to Atlanta and purchased
tickets to Patterson, N. j.. after which
he checked his trunk and sat down il
the waiting room until time for hi
train to leave Presently a smart
crooked city negro came along ant
"frisked" him out of his money and hi
tickets. The old negro appealed tt
the station agent, who found that hi
trunk had already gone. He advised
the negro to go back to Randolph
county, which advice was rejected. Tn
negro said he had $500 in his trunk
if they could get it back. The station
agent made arrangements for tn
negro and his family to spend tn
night in Atlanta, telegraphed for tn
trunk and got it back, and the negr'
opened it, took out his money, bough
him another set of tickets and re
checked his trunk, then went on t
Patterson with only few dollars lief
from the sale of his farm.
Next winter when he gets cold an
hungry he'll probably come back
he can.

he will not permit it to be decreased.
When the German line is finally brok-
en-, the cavalry will be needed to oc
cupy and hold advanced ground until
the arrival of infantry and artillery re-

cavalry charge has probably passed,

still a most serviceable branch of the
army
For the officers mount, always an
important consideration in the army,
tie Irish hunter has proved the most
suitable and serviceable, though many
officers have used the English thor

show breeding, substance and bone,
and should have been taught to cover
rough ground and if necessary jump
fences, bitches and trenches.

NEED FOR HORSES
CONTINUES STRONG

NEW YORK, June 2.-Owners and
breeders of thoroughbred horses for
racing and other purposes insist that
| the horse still is an indispensable ma
tional asset. Notwithstanding the
enormous number of motor vehicles
now used in warfare they claim that
/ the British Government has purchased
considerably more than one million
horses and a quarter of million
mules since the beginning of the Euro
pean conflict.
Speaking on the subject of breeding
and procuring horses for military pur
poses General G. T. NJ. Bridges, CHER
army representative of the British
Commission, recently said to a prom
inent American racing official that ne
was deeply interested in this import
ant topic

vice." General Bridges said the
4 horse is still not only most useful, but
in many instances cannot be replaced
by tractors or motor vehicles of any
tyne. Roads are built when possible,
but in the case ia raid advance
teams of eight heavy draught artillery
horses drag their guns over ground
that is absolutely impossible to any
motor yet invented In the artillery
many light draught American bred
horses are now used, but for the long
Dull the old-fashioned type of English
IClydesdale and other English work
ing breeds seem to give the best re-
suits. They have size, activity endur
ance, weight moving capacity, AND
courageain plenty. The Anglo-Norman
type of horse used by the French so
successfully, and the old-fashioned
English heavy draught horses make
the most serviceable artillery horse
From the beginning of the war to date
the supply of all types of horses has
i, been too small to permit us to be ultra
critical as to type.
The usefulness of the horse is not
confined to artillery and cavalry. The
pack horse though occupying more
, humble position. is none the less in
dispensable. Munitions, food and wa
ter are carried by him into regions
, where the motor cannot penetrate.

line may be said to be one vast trench

not be used for flank movements, form

Cats as Hunters.

DR.. A. A. Allen, professor Of birds
at Cornell, suggests that anyone who
Is skeptical about the hunting ability
Of the cat should 60 out in the early
fall morning after light snow fall
and track the wild animals of the
nearby woods. Perhaps you will find
the tracks Of a red squirrel; squirrels
are very clever and usually manage
to exist even in cities. Perhaps you
will find the tracks of cottontail or
two; rabbits are very prolific and
stand q great deal Of persecution:
Probably you will find the tracks Of a
few rats and mice but be assured you
will find Puss-in-Boots in force, her
tracks crossing and recrossing. Doc
tor Allen does not believe there is q
place in the eastern United States
within five miles of human habita-
ton where you will not find the tracks
of the domestic cat more frequently
than those of any wild animals, squir-
rels, rabbits, mice excepted. Trappers
catch them in their traps set in the

Prestdent's Mastery Note to Russia.
The presidents note to the new gov.
eminent Of Russia, in which he out.
lines the war aims of the United
States, is largely an elaboration of his
former assertion that "the world must
be made safe for democracy" He
explains that the United States is not
seeking territorial expansion, indem.
nifty or reward Of any description. We
merely propose to do our part toward
breaking the power of P:ussian au-
tocracy and intrigue which, If carried
to its logical conclusion, would menace
the safety Of all free peoples.
The president indicates that we are
in accord with allied opinion that moth.
ing would be gained toward the sup
preston Of autocracy If the Balkans
and Turkey were permitted to become
the vassals Of Berlin. We propose to
bring about "the indicated develop.
ment Of all peoples" The president
very skillfully points out to Russia
how Germany is using socialists and
others now, to whom it was never even
tolerant before, in the hope of dictat.
Ing the development Of Russia under
the guise of separate but disastrous
peace ut this time.

LOANS TO FARMERS
Government Work That Requires
Speeding Up.
Would Mean Enormous Increase In
Nations Food Supply, Essential
Factor for Victory in War in
Which Country Is Engaged.

In line with the wise and neetlful
policy of taxing unimproved land held
for speculation into use for food pro-
duction is the work of stimulating and
aiding increased production by farm
loans.
The government has made a begin
ming of the farn-loan policy by Gre
ating and organizing federal land
banks. There is IL possibility Of enor-
nous increases Of farm production in
the system of long time loans to farm
ers which has been organized. Time
for the food campaign is pressing,
however, but the process of making
the loans is slow.
The report of President Danforth of
the Federal Land bank of st. Louis
shows slow progress In the work of
actually utilizing farm loans. There
are applications for $13,OOO,OOO in
loans, but no loans have as yet been
made and the highest expectation of
Immediate loans after the appraisal of
lands is 100000.
Not only ought there to be avail
able for loans all the money required
by farmers to increase acreage under
cultivation and to make improvements,
but special effort should be made to
promote the organizing of farmers
loan associations. Organizers of as
sociations might be employed to ex-
cellent advantage. When the food sup
ply is an essential factor for winning
victory in the war, no means or effort
should be spared to increase food pro-
duction.
If the government should apply ST.
900, 100000 within the next year to in
creasing cultivated farm acreage and
increasing productivity of improved
farms, the money would be we'll spent.
This sum could easily be raised, with
double advantage, by taxes on land
values and surtaxes on unused lands.

NO DOGS ALLOWED on TRAIN
But Conductor Had Embarrassing Mo.
ment When He Undertook to Ban.
ish Canine to Baggage.

Soon after the train had started.
the conductor, in collecting his fares.
noticed small white dog, with a
bushy tail and bright black eyes, costly
sitting on seat beside a young lady.
She was quite pretty, but the conduc-
tors duty was plain.
"1'm very sorry, madam" he said
with unusual suavity, "but it's against
the rules to have dogs in the passen.
ger cars"
ooh! dear! is that so2" replied the
young lady, looking beseechingly from
her brown eyes. "What shall I do? I
can't throw him away. He's present
for my aunt"
"Throw him away! BY no means.
miss! Well put him in the baggage
car, and he'll be just as happy as the
robins in spring."
"What-put my nice white dog in
your dirty old baggage cara"
"I'm sorry, miss, but the rules Of
this company must be enforced. He
shall have my overcoat to lie on, and
the brakeman will give him crackers
and milk every time he opens his
mouth"
II just know somebody will steal
him." she objected.
But the conductor was firm, and
called out to the brakeman, who was
carrying signal flag.
"Here, Mike, put this dog in the bag.
gage car, and tell them to take the best
of care of him."
The brakeman picked up the dog az
carefully as If it were baby. There
was a sudden twitching of the facial
muscles, and he hastily said to the con.
ductor:
"Here, you just hold him a minute
till put this flag away"
Out Of the car door he went, and
held on to the brake wheel, shaking
like man with ague.
The conductor laid his hands on the
dog, and then
"Why-wh-why-this IL a worsted
dog!" he gasped.
Eyes, SIR" replied the little miss,
demurely; didn't you know that?"
"No, miss, am sorry to say didn't
know that"
He dropped the dog and began shout
