Race Prejudice Gets Knocked Out.

In Los Angeles, Cal, November 5,
Mr. Frederick M. Roberts, a we'll
trained young business man, a Repub-
lican candidate, was elected to the
state legislature from the 74th Assem-
bly, District. Mr.. Roberts is the first
Colored man in California to be so
honored.
Notwithstanding the fact that Rob-
erts won the Republican nomination
at the August primaries in field Of
five aspirants, and which nomination
is always equivalent to an election.
strong efforts were made to- defeat
him, on no issue other than race preju-
dice. His Independent opponent gum
shoed around the district passing out
his cards. Written on the back there.
of was the inscription, my Opponent
Is Niger" All fair-minded people
resented this attack. Mr.. Gahart, the
man who put it in vogue, was buried
under an avalanche of votes. The
final count was Roberts, 1856; Ca
hart, 1874, majority for Roberts of
726.
And thus the 74th Assembly Dis
trict of the great State of California
presents practical demonstration of
real democracy, for be it known, with
out the support of very considerable
part of the white voters in this dis
trict the election Of Mr.. Roberts would
have been impossible. While in this
district there is great big Colored
population, the same does not by any
means excel that of the white people.
Therefore the victory for democracy
is cleancut and unquestioned.-The
California Eagle.

One can't help wondering just what
school of life q man goes to to learn

The man who has spent his money

The Robe sonian has never h; d any
doubts about the loyalty of the Farm
ers' union membership of Rcbeson.
At its special meeting yesterday it
pledged unreserved and hearty sup
port of the Government in every meas
nre it adopts for winning the war
and recommended the expulsion of
sny Official or member Of the union
who is not in thorough accord with
the National Administration. An am
bassador from Greensboro came
down to snoothe things over for
DR.. Alexander and explain his posi-
tion, and It is understood that the
Greensboro man and county Repub-
Gcan member visited some union men,
bers Tuesday, but if there was effort
to shake the determination of the
loyal members to take a stand that
would leave no doubt as to where the
union stands that effort evidently re-
suited in failure.

WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer terribly with cOrns because of
high heels, but why care now.

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection, says a
Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store a quarter of an ounce Of a
drug called freezone. This is suf-
ficent to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. You
simply apply few drops directly up
on the tender, aching corn or callus.
The soreness is relieved at once and
soon the entire corn or callus, root
and all, lifts out without one particle
Of pain.
This freezone is sticky substance
which dries in moment. 1t just
shrivels up the corn without inflamine
or even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin. Tell your wife about
this.

FARM RUREAU NOTES

Now is the time to SOW soy beans and
cowpeas for hay. They furnish the best
kind Of hay and may be used very large
ly as substitutes for the protein mill
feed. which is next to impossible to buy.
These are also profitable seed crops and
can be handled with a minimum amount
Of labor
Because Of the fertilizer situation clover
and green manure crops will have to be
used very extensively. Already sections
that do not produce suitable seed are
securing sections growing crimson clover
seed in search Of a supply. Crimson
clover is the best known and most used
crop for this purpose.
Rye and vetch have been grown on a
small scale in Sussex County and obser-
vations show that in most cases It came
through the severe winter better than
most other crops used for similar pur-
poses. These crops will be grown more
than ever and will be limited only by the
seed supply. All the crimson clover
seed and vetch mixtures should be har-
vested for seed. The high prices will
warrant all the extra effort necessary.
