1t is quite certain that Athelstan King
went up the Khyber again, for the
official records say SO, and they never
lie, especially in time of war. He

called him "Chikki'-a "lifter."
Some say the Hangar went to Del
hi. Some say Yasmini is in Delhi.
Some say no. But it is quite certain
that before he started up the Khyber
King showed Courtenay a great gold
bracelet that he had under his sleeve.
Five men saw him do it. And if that
was really Rewa Gunga in the gen
erals train, why was the general so
painfully polite to him? And why did
1smail insist on riding in the train, in
stead of accepting Kings offer to go
up the Khyber with him?
One thing is very certain. King was
right about the jihad. There has been
none in spite of all Turkeys and Ger
many's efforts. There have been spo-
radio raids, much as usual, but moth
ing one brigade could not easily deal
with, the paid press to the contrary
notwithstanding
King of the Khyber Rifles is now
major, for you can see that by turn
ing up the army list. But if you wish
to know what transpired in the room
at Jamrud Fort while the general and
Courtenay waited, you must ask King

again, for "A woman anG intrigue are
one!" as India says The war seems
long, and the world is large, and the
chances for intrigue are almost in
finite, given such combination as King
and Yasmini and a love affair.
And as King says on occasion:
"Kuch dar nahin hal There is no
such thing as fear." Another one
might say, The roofs the limit"

when men and women begin to own their own
homes and to lay money aside in the savings
banks.
The negro is learning citizenship. His teach
er of necessity must be the white man. If the
environment in which the negro is residing is an
uplifting and noble one, the negro will absorb
that spirit and reflect it in his conduct.
The feeling here between the two races
is friendly. This spirit deserves encouragement
and growth We believe that the negro will re-
spond to intelligent consideration of his problems
and that this community has always manifested
a high degree of knowledge in handling the situa-
ton as it pertains to purely local conditions.

Help Reid Memorial Hospital

Wear tag tomorrow to help Reid Memorial
Hospital.
The frequency of appeals for financial aid
ought not to discourage us. We Americans as a
people are rich We have not been called on to
make the sacrifices that the other world powers
have made in the last three years.
Reid Memorial Hospital is local institution.
1t affords relief for our sick and MANNED It is
ably managed. It's Aid Society is made up of
women who sacrifice of their time and money to
make the supplies that constantly are needed in
an institution of the size of this hospital.
The contribution you make tomorrow will
only be mite You will not feel it. You are
not giving money that you need for the necessi-
ties of life. In fact, your contribution will come
from your surplus.
Hospitals and orphanages for the care of
sick and dependent men, women and children are
the MODEST products of the Christian era Prior
to the time of Christian civilization, hospitals
and asylums were unknown. Neither Rome nor
Greece knew of this form of charity.
Christianity with it's message of love did not
overlook suffering mankind It went to it's re-
lief The thousands of hospitals and institutions
of benevolence that are supported today by pri-
vate funds and state expenditures reflect the in
fluence of Christianity.
Reid hospital has long ago demonstrated its
right to existence in this community. The Aid
Society has labored for many years to increase
the efficiency and usefulness of the institution.
Buy tag to show that you appreciate the worth
of the hospital and recognize its necessity in
Richmond.

He had picked King to go up the
Khyber on that errand not for moth
ing. He knew King and he knew the
symptoms. Without answering him
King obeyed. He went out Of the
room into a dark corridor and raped
on the door of the next room to the
right. There was muffled answer
from within. Courtenay shouted some
thing to the sentry outside the door
and he called another man who fitted
a key In the lock. King walked into
a room in which one lamp was burn
ing and the door slammed shut be-
hind him He was in there an hour.
and it never did transpire just what
passed, for he can hold his tongue on
any subject like clam, and the gen.
eral, II anything, can go him one bet
ter. Courtenay was placed under or
ders not to talk, so those who say they
know exactly what happened in the
room between the time when the door
was shut on King and the time when
he knocked to have it opened and call
ed for the general, are not telling the
truth.
What is known is that finally the
general hurried through the door and
calculated, "Well, I'm damned" be-
fore it could close again. The sentry
(Punjabi Mussulman) has sworn to
that over a dozen camp-fires since the
day And it is known, too. for the SEN
try has taken oath on 1t and has told
the story so many times without much
variation that no one who knows the
mans record doubts any longer-it is
known that when the door opened
again King and the general walked
out with the Hangar between them
And the Hangar had no turban on,
but carried it unwound in his hand
And his golden hair fell nearly to his
knees and changed his whole appear
ance. And he was weeping. And he
was not a Hangar at all, but SHE,
and how anybody can ever mistaken
her for a man, even in mans clothes
and with her skin darkened, was be-
yond the sentry's power to guess.
But nobody believed that part of his
tale.
AS Yussuf bin Ali said over the
campfire I'D the Khyber later on,
when she sets out to disguise her
self. she is what she will be, and he
who says he thinks otherwise has two
tongues and no conscience!
What is surely true is that the four
of them-Yasmini, the general, Cour-
tenay and King sat up all night In
room in the fort, talking together,
while a succession Of sentries over
strained their ears endeavoring to
hear through keyholes. And the SEN
tries heard nothing and invented very
much. But Partan Singh. the sikh,

Good Citizenship Among the Negroes

Leaders of the race in Richmond on Emanci-
patton Day expressed sentiments of good citi-
zenship that prove that negroes of this commu-
nifty believe in furthering the best interests of
the city.
It may surprise many of us to know that ne
groes in Wayne county own property valued at
almost S500,O00 This is an excellent showing,
proving that many members of the race here are
not squandering their money but are saving it.
Good citizenship is encouraged and fostered

FREEDOMS CALL
There are many hearts attune
To the voice of Freedoms call;
Many lives for her are offered,
For her they live or fall,
TIL her banners planted wave
Ger all peoples true and brave,
A universal sign.
There are many hearts deep touched
BY the proud oppressor's wrong;
But the cry of anguished peoples

There shall rise countless host
Blotting out the tyrant's boast,
For Freedoms call is heard.

No more shall peaceful nation
Be bathed in a crimson flood,
But the power Of cruel might
VIII give way to that of right,
And Justice reign supreme.

SUMMER DISEASE OF CATTLE
"Pinkeye" Is Especially Troublesome
During Hot Notwithstanding
Results in Blindness.

"Pinkeye'' of cattle is common
disease, especially during summer
months, and sometimes results In total
blindness. 1t is undoubtedly infec-
tious, and is believed to spread from
one animal to another through the
medium of flies. The disease runs it's
course in ten days or two weeks, af-
fecting one or both eyes.
A profuse flowing Of tears is the
first evidence of the attack. The ami
NAL keeps the eye constantly closed,
for 1t is very sensitive to light. Grad
ually a film seems to form over the
eye and the ball becomes clouded.
Care at this time is very necessary
and may save the animal from blind
ness. Confinement in a comfortable
stall with all light excluded is the
best. Laxative food will put the ami
NAL in good condition to ward off
complications. If flies are allowed to
irritate the sore eyes they will prob
ably spread the infection to other ami
mails.
Bathing the eyes in a strong solu-
ton of boric acid is a treatment cas-
lily applied and generally effective. A
better method is to place a few drops
Of the following mixture in the eyes
with a dropper: One-half grain of
zinc sulphate, ten grams of boric acid
and one ounce of distilled water.

PRACTICE OF SWIMMING MILK
To Secure Best Results 1t Is Best to
Skim and Milk and Churn Cream,
Says Clemson.

Experience has shown that in gen.
eral practice the churning of whole
milk results in butter Of a poorer fat
in the buttermilk than If cream is
churned, says Clemson Agricultural
college of South Carolina. 1t is there
fore best to skim the milk and churn
the cream. The best way to skim the
milk is by means of a separator. A
farmer who has only two or three
cows, but no separator, may put the
milk into deep, narrow cans Shotgun
cans) and set them in cold water, and
when the cream rises it can be re-
moved with a shallow spoon. Where
this system Is used it usually takes
about II to 18 hours for all the cream
to rise. Care should be taken to keep
the milk cold, in order to make the
cream rise rapidly. The old method
Of setting the milk in shallow pans
should not be used, as the cream does
not rise so completely as when set in
deep cans in cold water; furthermore,
the quality Of the cream is not so good
and there are more vessels to wash
and care for.

/ CAN'T GO TO
THE FRONT-BUT-

1 can't go to the front with you;
The reason why-what matters it,
Perhaps am too OLD, or stiff
To do your sort OF bit.
1t breaks my heart to stay behind;
I'd give my eyes for half a chance
To smash the Kaiser's hellish plans
With you out there in France.
You're going into trench and reek,
To shrapnel rip and crashing shell;
God plans your work in heaven, but
You work 1t out in hell.
You felt the call and left your all
Your loved ones and your babies, too;
But then, the Hun snarled at our gates;
The fight was up to YOU
The Hun was wallowing in crime;
Beneath it's claws lay tortured Truth;
The bleeding world cried out to you,
To give your strength and youth.
I've seen your countless thousands go
With neither noisy boast nor brag,
And your brave eyes shone with the CLEAN
OF our star-studded flag.
We cannot pay for blood you shed,
Nor buy devotion such as yours,
But we can stand behind you, boys,
AS long as life endures.
Your pain shall be our travail and
The ones you love shall be our care;
Our work and sacrifice is here,
While yours is over there.
Well make our brains and dollars count
Well build this righteous fight upon
Our billions plus our hearts and prayers
To break the bloody Hun.
Old Uncle Sam needs you out there;
Though we can't fight, We'll heed his
call
To lend and, If need be, to give
You boys our last and all.
We can't go to the front with you;
But money, which some fool called trash.
Shall flow for you, who stand between
Us and the Kaiser's lash.
You are the red-blood barrier
That stands between us and the curse
That struck down tortured Belgium,
And maybe what Is worse.
Count on us to the finish, boys;
Till purse Is fiat and bone Is bare!
There's naught too much to do or give
For you who fight out there.

ON ASKING THE FARMER TO
BUY A BOND.

Too many farmers, last summer
neglected to buy Liberty bonds. We
are willing to be charitable and be-
lieve they neglected this duty through
representation, or lack of funds, or
for some other reason more or less
unavoidable.
At any rate, the fact remains that
they didn't subscribe to the first Lib
erty Loan, and since then, no doubt,
their conscience hasn't been resting
well O. nights. Now they have an op-
portunity to ease that troubled con-
science. There's a second Liberty
Loan on now, offering a better invest
ment than even the first one offered,
and the advice of this publication to
farmers everywhere is this:
If you failed to invest in the first
loan. go straight to your banker, with
out moments delay, AMI invest in
loan number two. Plunge into it up
to your eyebrows, for you've got to
atone, remember, for what you failed
to do last May and June.
If you did invest in the first loan.
then hold on to your interim certifi-
Gates and later exchange them for the
second issue bonds, which will pay
higher rate Of interest. No charge
will be made for this exchange, and
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo will
presently name the date upon which
the exchange may be made.
But don't hesitate to buy bond Of
this second issue simply because you
bought one or more of the first. You
tannot own too many of these bonds.
They're the safest investment on earth,
and one of the most profitable. So
long as the United States government
