Concludeds from page 1

He paid Q glowing and eloquent trib-
ute to the valor of the Colored soldiers
and to the remarkable progress Of the
Colored people in general He stated
that several years ago he had the honor
of delivering an address at the Apo
msttox Club on the immortal Frederick
Douglass; that at the same time Hon.

On Abraham Lincoln that Mr.. Morris
speech was the best Of the two.
Mr.. Mccormick was the last of the
CIVILIANS to visit Col Franklin A. Deni-
SON and his men at Camp Logan prior
to their departure for the old world, and
he babe them Q long farewell and god
speed. o.
His visit to the firing lines on the
French battle6elds was very vivid and
highly interestingly related. At the
end of his long to be remembered Grafton
Mr.. Moseley delivered q few remarks,
then Rev. williams, who does not mix in
politics, stated that Mr.. Mccormick had
promised to assist Olivet to raise the
dollars which it needs;
that Mr.. Mccormick looked mighty good
to him; that he looked like fast runner
and he came mighty near saying that he |
looks like a real live winner.

command that he would always highly
appreciate the distinguished honor which
had been conferred upon him at that
time, but IL must be remembered that il
was mis- Colored friends who went to the
front at that time for him and secured
his appointment, that he would always
feel under lasting obligations to them.
There is one thing that can be truly
said to the everlasting credit of Mr..
Mccormick and that is as one of the
commissioners he never used one penny
of the money set aside for the benefit of
the oOlored people by the legislature of
this state for his own personal travelling
expenses like the other commissioners,
but in all Of his travels over the country
in the interest Of their celebration he
travelled on his own moaey, as the off,
eial records win show.
On numerous occasions, during the ex-
position held at the Coliseum the latter
part of August and the first part of Sep
TENDER, 1915, and at other times prior
to that, Mr.. Mccormick freely mingled
with the cOlOred people, dining with
them at banquets and so on, which is
positive proof that he is far above and
beyond the narrow bounds Of race preju-
dice.

A Call to Duty.

From the battle fields in France
there comes an unspoken call that
should find an answer in every
Americans heart. The recent great
events in Europe, the successes of
American arms on the fields of
France should spur every American
to greater effort.
Our people at home should not rest
on the laurels of our soldiers in
France Every death on the field of
honor in the line of duty and for our
country's cause should be call to us
for every sacrifice and every exertion
to aid the cause for which our SOL
sdicrs are fighting, for which our SOL
oilers have died.
Increase production, decrease con-
sumption, save, and lend to the Gov
eminent. Every cent lent to the
United States is used to support,
strengthen, and aid our soldiers in
France.

Select Potato Seed at Harvest.

Usually the seed potatoes are Sc
lected from the general pile in the
spring, about the time to plant po-
tatoes, but the best time is to select
them when one digs the potatoes.
Look carefully over your potato
lot and put down stick at each hill
that looks promising when the pota-
toes have made their growth. Then,
when digging time comes, dig these
hills separately, noting the hills that
have the largest number of good
average size potatoes. These tubers
have shown a stronger virility and
hardness than the others and will
make larger yield of good sized po-
tatoes in next years crop.
This is much better than the old
way of selecting large potatoes from
the pile at planting time. The yield
can be greatly increased in a few
years by hill selection.
There is no more valuable work on
the farm than the careful selection
of seed. To grow the largest yield
at the least expense is important
This is where our profit is made.

Grow More Wheat.

Wheat should be grown in addi-
tion to the other crops.
There is greater need than ever
before to economize human labor.
All unnecessary operations should be
eliminated and machinery should be
employed where possible to save la
Dor. Larger machines may be OPP
Grated by one man. Four-horse
teams may often replace two-horse
teams, one man doing nearly twice
as much as before.
Labor may be economical by CO.
operation among farmers. In many
cases where farmers usually grow
only a small acreage of wheat, which
is all they can seed or harvest, they
could grow more by exchanging la
Dor and machinery with their neigh
bors.
One of the very best ways of
cconomizing labor is to prepare to
do all work in the proper season.

Feed the Small Potatoes.

Small potatoes of the first digging,
too small to market, should be boiled
and fed to the growing pullets and
hens. Mixed with shorts, chops, and
meat scraps or tankage, they are not
only fattening, but produce rapid
growth, promoting not only early
maturity but a heavy egg yield with
the laying stock. This method of
feeding the cheaper feeds will, show
considerably more profit than when
only grain is fed. =

BUTTONS IN GREAT DEMAND

able Stocks In Country.

Buttons are one Of the many
things that the government has TO
concern itself about in times of war.
IL is reported that the stock OF but
tons in this country, that is to say,
the stock suitable for military pur-
poses is 10 be- taken over by the gov
ernment.
Manufacturers of buttons to all
appearances fall far short in their
production, and the shortage is in
tensified by the fact that England
also seems short of buttons and has
been in the past importing from the
United States.
Buttons are needed in enormous
quantities for the clothing Of the
fighting men and the government, it
is reported, is taking an inventory Of
the country's stock of buttons Of
metal, horn and vegetable ivory and
may save the manufacturers the
trouble of looking for customers.
Good prices win be paid by the gov
ernment.
