No MIXING THERE.

A sorrowing sister of departed
hero formerly a member of the 9th
or 10th Cavalry, went to the Ma
tional Cemetery to decorate her
brothers grave on Decoration day,
but was halted by the keeper at the
gate.
He informed her in choice crack
er dialect that You Negroes can't
come in here until after thee o.
clock this evening, the white peo-
pie are here now and there shan't
be no mixing today
The lady, Mrs. Patterson, has
gone for years along with other
colored friends to decorate the
graves of their departed friends and
relatives.
In face of the above excerpt
clipped from an exchange we are
reminded daily that America is
fighting for world freedom and
Democracy. If SO, it must be a
mere sham when applied to people
whose hue is sometimes a little
darker than their pale face broth
ers and sisters. The idea of WON
an whose brother had given up his
life in defense of this country being
kept out of a Federal graveyard,
except at the discretion of a crack
Drained custodian. Such exhibi-
tons of se1lseless prejudice are
wholly at variance with ideals OF
Democracy and the sooner Presi-
, dent Wilson does his Bit toward
securing his colored constituency
their every right and stops discrim-
1natlon of any kind whatever in
Government institutions, the more
sainted will become his name the
world over. Let us have Democ-
racy and absolute freedom at home
for all people at all times, and then
we will be opponents of these two
most priceless herltages for the
whole Universe.

POULTRY MUST
BE PRODUCED
(By Clarence DuBose. }

Washington, Dec. 1.-Poultry
must be produced next year III
places where it has not been pro-
duced before, and everywhere
that poultry has been produced
that production must be increased
It is necessary that people in the.
country and in the towns answer
alike to this call. Farms and back
yards must both do their bit, for
the doubling Of our poultry pro-
duction next year is an indispen-
sible item in the nation s food
production program-a program
which must be carried out if we
are to win the war.
The meat supplies available for
European use are short Meat
must be supplied if the war is
won-by the forces who fight for
freedom. The war will be won if
we fail in food production
not won by us. We must under
stand what will happen if we do
not. provide the enormous quanti
ties of foodstuffs that the Allies
can not produce for themselves.
Are we going to feed our army
on chickens and eggs? Of course
not. But by greatly Increasing
our production Of chickens and
eggs, and by eating these chickens
and eggs ourselves we will, natur-
ally, eat that much less beef and
pork, In turn, that beef and pork
can be sent to Europe.
