of the musical and literary program,

artistic merit and was rendered in
such an acceptable manner as to re-
fleet great credit upon the partici-
pants. While all the numbers were

Baltimore, Md, March 27.-A con-
ference was held in the Mayors recep-
ton room between representative
white and colored men last Thursday,
at which the whites suggested a sort
of gentleman's agreement by which
the recently annulled segregation law
could be kept in operation.
The colored men present vigorously
protested against the segregation prin-
ciple, argued that a colored man had
the right to buy property and live
anywhere and urged that whites and
their newspapers cease agitating the
subject. They also pointed out that
since the United States Supreme
Court invalidated segregation laws
there had only been one instance Of
racial friction when a colored family
moved into white" block,

FOOD CONSERVATION.

There appears to be a good deal OF
misinformati0n circulated amongst the
agricultural community as to the
policy and scope of the Food Admin.
istration with relation to price fixing.
| wish to say at once and emphati.
cally, that the Food Administration
is not price-fiXing body except with
regard to certain commodities which
are today dominated by wholly abnor-
NAL overseas commercial relations,
and the surrounding factors with re-
gard to which are such as to project
great dangers both against the farm
ing community and at the same time
the consuming community. The two
commodities under regulation are
wheat and sugar With the further ex-
ception Of cases in which 1t has in
tervened purely as friendly inter
mediary between organized PRODUCES
and consumers-as in city milk-the
Executive Department of the Govern
ment has no authority and no desire
to fix prices of products Of agricul-
ture.
1t seems necessary and desirable to
re-state the reasons already referred
to by the President which render it
necessary and possible to undertake
control of the marketing of these two
commodities. The economic forces aris-
ing out of the War, which have nee
essitated this action, are in the main
as follows:
1. All of the overseas shipping in
the world has been placed in govern
ment control and the volume of this
shipping is much reduced. AS a con-
sequence there is no longer any free
play in commercial overseas traffic
as the governments involved, must
designate what tonnage is to be assign
ed to each commodity and each class
of traffic.
2. Inasmuch as normal commercial
overseas traffic has broken down, it
was necessary for the Allied govern
ments in Europe to set up single
agencies for the purchase of the whole
of their food supplies from abroad
OF American wheat their purchases
are of sujcient volume to control the
price-and this is the only agricultural
commodity where this maintains.
3. In the face of necessary duty
to reduce our consumption of food
so badly needed by the Allies--it has
ben absolutely necessary to arrive at
division Of these two commodities
In the, common interest of the war,

FORMER NASHVILLE BOY
WRITES FROM TRAINING CAMP.

Hampton Institute,
Hampton, Va, March 20, 1918.
My Dear Mr.. Boyd:
| have heard noting lately of in
terest concerning the A. F. Cadets
Corps of Mt Olive. There is nothing
/ | am sure that Mt. Olive or any
other church would not do for her
sons. Mt. Olive has many boys in
the draft age, | am sure and the
training received through the cadets
will enable them to become non
commissioned officers in our new
army. This training will prove of
value to her sons when they arrive at
the various cOntOnements.
| My school includes military train
ing in its course of study and the
cadet training upon my entrance that
/ had received proved to be pricely.
| hope that Col Gore and his staff
will begin to work at once. While
some of his rockies" amy be too
young to go over the top, but Col.
Gore could make spring drive"
upon some of the vacant lots of Nash
vile and have his men drop some of
mother natures shells in the burrows
such as corn, wheat, and beans.
If his command cannot accomplish
much for Gen. Pershing, they are
fully capable of aiding our friend,
Hon. Herbert Hoover This is going
to be the vacant lot and backyard
spring drive and l hope you may
arouse the spirit Of the boys Of their
part in helping to beat kulture. Many
other organizatins are planning SINH
lar drives and l am trying to arouse
feeling along all American Negro
boys.
l hope that you may approve Of
this plan.
Sincerely yours,
IRWIN S. CURRY.

satisfied with the arrangements made
and, it may be stated parenthetica y,
that no such negotiations have been
undertaken by the Food Administra-
ton except at the request Of the pro
ducers.
A similar case lies in the purchase
of pork products by the Allied govern
ments, which while not sufficiently
large to control the market, yet could
affect the price. In this instance,
representative bodies of the produc-
ers were called together and upon
their recommendation the Food Ad'
ministration undertook, so far as the
influences of these purchases made 1t
possible, to use the purchases for the
purpose of maintaining a minimum
price for live hogs in Chicago, in order
/ to prevent an undue fall in the price OF
hogs during the large packing sea-
son and thus the Encouragement Of
the producer.
Beyond the above, the Food Admin
istration has no power or intention to
in any way interest itself in price.
Aside from these matters the Food
Administration has been actively in
terested in the elimination Of profiteer'
ing and speculation in the distribute
ing trades by regulating the profits
onto a pre-war normal basis in order
that no greater tax should be placed
upon the consume by virtue Of the high
prices than bear a proper relation tC
producers receipts. A still larger
} duty has been the maintenance o.
the even course of food distribution IL

ton in which the Administration Ii
called upon hourly to help in man!

this forensic debate between the col
ored high schools of Nashville, Knox
vile and Chattanooga. On account OF

year the Howard High School with
drew and no debate was held be-
tween the schools. This year the war
|situation, necesitating a conserva-
ton of funds, that Thrift Stamps
might be bought has again caused an
abandonment of the inter-school de-
bate. However, Pearl High has
regularly held her inter-school de-
bate, because the Nashville public
looks forward to it as one Of the big
literary events of the season. On &C

A FORWARD STEP.

The allowance to United States marshals in Alas ka funds with which to detect crime is great step forward for the proper administration of justice in North Heretofore the officials of the Department of Justice have had funds which they could expend for the investigation of crime. Action could only be taken after complaint had been had and warrant out This applied to such crimes as mur- der. Unjust criticism has been constantly made that the officials of the Department of Justice were not taking proper steps to apprehend offenders against the law when a matter of fact there have never been any funds which could be used for investigation. The of John Doe has long since been ordered discontinued
 There have been instances when warrant has been out against known offender and pense incurred to attempt his but service has not been accomplished owing to the departure of the criminal in the meanwhile to parts unknown. In such the marshal has been unable receive re- imbursement for his services.
 The ruling of the Attorney General places the ad- ministration of law entirely footing, due entirely to the harmonious relations existing between the Delegate and the Governor Without such har- mony no constructive be made in Alaska This is only added reason why Charles A.

Yukon Silver.

(Dawson News.)
 Yukon has struck clear, note It is silver.
 Silver gives promise of big things to the Yukon. Beyond doubt there is an extensive belt of it in this country. It long has been known to exist in the from the Mayo district, on the Upper stewart, and along the Twelveme, little north of Dawson These fields 150 miles apart. Both de- veloping fine prospects.
 Years ago the first silver located in those districts. But it could not be opened in a day. Much hard work necessary. Men of real grit and pluck tackled it. and they have not given up and they will not give up The glow on the horizon is more silyery to them today than before. It begins to look as though the dawn is at hand.
 A little more hard work little more perseverance, and the silver of the Yukon may put this Territory the class with Colorado Nevada, Cobalt and Mexico The white metal brought immense wealth to those countries, and made hundreds of millionares
 Silver prospecting and mining when there are any indications at all. is not stubborn game as the quest for gold Hence, since there are good pros pects and already big shipments have been made of Yukon silver. the promise for the opening of big camp maybe two more of them is most encouraging.
 No suspicious time has existed for the silver miner than today. In this he has it the gold seeker The gold is marketable today only below that is the product will purchase only half today what will in normal times. The silver is worth today 99 cents ounce, twice what is before the war. Hence, there is a great premium on the silver product
 The Federal government is doing we'll in having it's geologiss in the Yukon field investigate the s- this year It is pleasing to know the staff will look into the silver of the Mayo district at once, and will visit the Twelveme field later on. If any properties were not Tn perVOuS years Of low grade. the fact the product is now worth twice what it then might lift great deal of the low grade property to profitable level today.
 One good silver strikes in this vicinity will transform old Dawson into new and thriving center bring back the glory of and the halcyon days of decade ago; yes, possibly place the city on a oasis for greater and permanent exploitation of the surrounding mineral wealth in which this region abounds Once open that wealth and railway lines and other big communications with the Outside will quickly, and in it's wake the development of the newly discovered agricultural and grazing of this vast Northand
 The silver prospects of Yukon something over which glow. The Yukon situation undenably has silver lining. It is enough to quicken the heart throbs of every loyal Yukoner
 The chance is here today for all Now is the time play strong game, and in playing it do not de- spise the white stack-the silver horde-in Yukon s mighty hills
