\ PIONEER CITIZEN DIES-MRS
J. w. CARRIE, SR., SUCCUMBS.

A long and well-spent life of use
fulness, devotion and sacrifice, was
ended when Mrs. John w. Carrie, Sr.,
OF 1888 Ogden St, slipped away into
eternity Saturday about 1:45 D. m. at
her home. Mrs. Carrie, Sr., was well
known and well liked by everyone
and for years she lived in this com
mun1ty as shining light before her
family and all who knew her. Loved
and respected by all and devoted to
her family, she sacrificed freely for
her church, family and friends. She
is gone, having only to be proceeded
by some months by her daughter.
Maude, whom she adored. A large
family and concourse of friends sur.
we to mourn her loss. She was
buried Wednesday afternoon by the
Cammel Undertaking Co. Rev. Over

AT THE GOVERNORS RECEPTION.

Scarcely has it ever happened that
our prominent and representative
women of color, have thought serious
ly enough as to attend the pubic
function of the State. Wednesday,
Mesdames John P. Starks, Johnathan
r. Contee and Laurence H. Lightner
took advantage of the public INVITA-
ton extended and visited the pubic
reception of our first lady of the state.
They were cordially received and
treated royalty. Morrison's orchestra
and entertainers played and sang
while Miss Jessie Andrews was the
soprano. Her soft, penetrating voice
SO full of music, made an indel1pie
impression, SO we are told. Mrs. J.
r. Contee was the spokeswoman OF
the party and worthy representative.
1t is thought that this present admin
istration has been impressed that
both the Governor and legislature rep
resent all the people and that Ne
groes are keenly alive to the inter
ests of the State. The Governor
wife has proven worthy OF the es-
TEEN and high reputation she bears
as the first lady of the State.

HE is ALWAYS IN 1T.

There are very few events of Ma
tional Importance to the United
States in which the Colored man has
not figured in some way. We was
with Columbus when he discovered
America; he was among the first to
die in the Revolutionary war; he was
with jackson in the war of 1872; he
was with Perry in the battle on Lake
Erie; he was in the civil war to the
number of nearly 100000; he was
much in evidence at San Juan Hill;
he was with Peary at the discovery
of the North Pole; he was quite
feature in the recent Mexican trouDle
and now it seems he is to be the
cause of getting us into the world

vent George Washington, the Ameri-

THAT ZIMMERMAN LETTER AND
THE SOUTHERN NEGRO.

The Negroes of the United States,
especially in the South, can easily
see how they, while not in the war,
like Africa was, would be in the midst
of it if Germany could have induced
Mexico to invade the United States
thru the Southwest. There has never
been any doubt in the mind OF the
Star as to the loyalty and duty of the
Negro, but this situation has caused
many sober head to think America
first and leave off all hyphens and
prefixes. When a man becomes an
American citizen, he is supposed to
blend every extraction into that COM
posite name. But thru scientific rae
ial prejudice now practiced by GER
tain Europeans, he becomes half in
stead of a whole. Citizens, no more
than individuals, cannot serve two
masters. 1t is either Germany or
America? We say America all the
time!

IS to
Increase Meat Supply

Rabbits, which have proved valua-
bic source of food In Europe during the
present var, may well be raised more
extensively in America by way Of re-
ducing the drain on the ordinary meat
supply. according to biologists OF the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. The business of growing rabbits,
the specialists point out, can be car
ried on by youths and adults not en-
gagged In military or other national
service or In regular Industrial employ
ment. The animals may be raised In
back yards of cities and towns as well
as on farms.
The Belgian hare breeds rapidly, ma
lures quickly and produces palatable
and highly nutritious meat. The cost
of production is less than that OF any
other meat not excepting poultry.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat pro-
dnction, as the ordinary tame rabbit Is
smaller and develops more slowly.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay, grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation Of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when eight
or ten months old and during the year
should raise four littcrs Of about six
young each. Well fed, the young reach
marketable size when three to four
nnnnthq OLD md ovorafra from, five to
six pounds live weight.

Mothers Doll Story
The Green Frog

Once upon time little girl had
birthday party, and one of the presents
that one small friend brought her was
n nice green paper frog.
The little girl had so many dolls that
she took n fancy to the frog She tied
string to one of his long legs, and
everywhere the little girl went her
green paper frog was sure to go.
Now, one of the tasks that the little
girl did every day was to feed her kitty
saucer Of milk. Just outside the
kitchen door stood small brown dish.
In this dish every morning the little
girl used to pour a cupful of milk for
the htty's breakfast.
would you like TO help me feed the
kitten, dearf' the little girl asked her
pet frog. And froggy jumped three
inches and then squatted down on his
green paper legs.
Plump, plump, he went across the
grass till he came TO the brown disc OF
milk Then right into II he jumped,
because he had not seen any water in
SO many days that milk looked too in
Wiling to him.
When the little girl saw her pet sit
ting In The milk of course she was glad
she had him at the end Of n string.
So she quickly pulled him out Of the
milk and hung him up to dry ON the
clothesllne.

ely for hours a day as long as they re
main in the camp and the practice
viii continue daily after they go to
the front. Every morning they will be
marched out in squads to the train
ing ground They will practice all the
morning and after luncheon go back
at it again until dark. Prizes will be
offered for efficiency. Everything pos
sible win be done to bring them to the
highest point OF experiences. For they
are the men who will lead, when the
troops go over the parapet for the
first attack on the German lines
Perhaps, the hardest thing TO learn
is to clear the enemys trenches after
foothold has been gained in port
ion of it, This is where the hand-to.
hand fighting comes in and II is the
work of the grenadiers seconded by
the grenade bearers. They must adj
vance from embrasure to embrasurc
10 yards ahead OF them into the next
section of trench and drive the enemy
back along the trench or down into
the dugouts. AS they move forward
they must clear the dugouts throwing
grenades down the steep stairs, Of.
ten twenty to thirty yards under
ground, then descending into the pit
chy blackness to send their grenades
searching into every corner OF the
dugout, not TO leave an effective
enemy behind them
II over in one corner OF the prac-
tice trench system at the training
camp one sees fifty or sixty yards OF
trenches overhung by a cloud OF vel.
lowish-white smoke, one knows that
there the grenadiers are practing
clearing the trenches and after cur
men have been a few weeks in
France one will see that cloud con.
stantly over some section of the prac.
tice trenches
But this is not all the grenadiers
have to learn. They have to learn to
creep at night through the intricacies
Of their own barbed wire, making
their way, belly to the ground, within
reaching distance of the enemy lines
| and lying at full length drop
their grenadiers on the Germans.
This is their part in surprise attack
by night to feel out the enemy lines.
The grenadiers are OF first import.
ance in modern infantry work They
are the leaders in both attack and de-
Tense. There are a thousand other
things for the troops to learn. The art
of setting up barbed wire entangle-
ments, of repairing them by night
and cutting the enemy's wire at night
is not learned in an hour: nor Is the
work OF the machine-gun crews. Then.
too, there is the organization Of a
conquered position TO hold against a
counter attack; the organization of
shell.holes into trench system; the
digging and preparation of trenches
and communication trenches; the
holding of line of shell.holes, where
no trenches can he dug. Every least
item must be studied. worked over
and practiced to the last detail of its
smallest intricacy for weeks and
months in. the training camps before
our men go to the front, unless we
want to sacrifice thousands of our
bravest men uselessly.
