THE BLACK MAN STOOD PAT

The war did more for the Negro American
than had been accomplished in several de-
cades of peace He demonstrated that he
could fight, that his willingness and capacity
for work unlimited; that he could
easily adapt himself to strange surroundings,
and that he understood the purpose of Lib
crty Bonds which he almost invariably
bought until it actually and positively
'hurt. -
One of the most glorious things that hap
pened to the Negro however, was the reve-
ation Of his absolute, unsuitable loyalty to
the Stars and Stripes. Evidence adduced
before the Senate committee now sitting
shows that German propagandists failed
mserably in their efforts among the blacks
That they operated principally among the
plantation Negroes Of the South and there
made no Roadway whatever is significant It
is a splendid tribute to the Americansm of
the Negro.
1t might be supposed that among men
and women who are not regular readers of
the newspapers, who trust to the "grape-
vine'', which makes a wireless station Of
every cabin, for most Of their information,
the fairy tales of the paid German agents
would find fertile ground
But the Negro stood pat 'You have no
country,' was an insdious remark that was
dinned into his ears night and day. "You IL
never get your Liberty bond money back"
was another. "You'll get forty acres Of
land if the Germans WIN" they were told.
And they were assured that victory for the
''humane' Germans meant an end of all
hanging and instant levelng Of all social
lines in the United States.
Many white 'intelectuals" in the North
bol 70 h1++
black millions did not Their hearts proved
pure gold and they stood by Uncle Sam.
The secret service needed no special trains
for Negro excursions to internment camps.
1t is that same Unborn spirit of loyalty to
the government that has prevented the |. w.
W. from gaining converts among the blacks
OF the South, no matter how poor they are
or how unj ust their position economically.
The Southern Negro who remained at home
to till the fields was proud Of his part in
the war. He was quick to realize situa-
ton which he expressed thus:
"We've sure got to work hard and feed
our soldiers and all their friends or they
can't fight for us. -
But the Negro is not unduly proud of the
proofs of his loyalty. He knew he was 100
per cent American all the time. He knows,
incidentally, lot of other things that many
people don't know he knows. Any intelli-
gent Southerner will tell you that one of the
greatest mistakes of Northern theorists in
considering the Negro is the belief that he is
simple and easily fooled.
1t is true that he often takes advantage
of this supposed simplicity as convenient
camouhage in an argumentative pinch. But
watch your step before you pick plantation
darby out for "boob''
Ask the Kaiser.

AUTO LOWERS THE
 BIG GROCERY BILLS

Since the stores in our .city have cut down their retail deliveries to one quarter normal, our automobile has become nearly 100 per cent utility" writes a feminine owner to Geo. H. Rueben, local Kissel distributor.
 'On account of high rents, we live on the outskirts of town and do not know what I would do without our automobile. These days of high prices have necessitated us women doing more shopping than ever before. It used to be that we would use tele- phone to order our household supplies, but now we not only have to do con- siderable going about for the best bar gains, but we also have to lug our own parcels and packages home with us, so you can imagine the great con- Venience of our car.
 We happen to be the only family owning a car in our vicinity and we have formed a neighborhood shopping club and twice a week, drive different neighbors to the different stores for household necessities and to different truck gardeners a little out of town for our supply of fresh vegetables, eggs, etc, and on figuring up the ex- pense of these trips as compared with the prices which we would have to pay for the same goods in town, we are netting saving of from 30 to 3S per cent. Naturally, in our estimation, the automobile is one of the biggest helps in keeping down the high cost of liv- ing"

Sunday Sermons at Home for
 Season Of Closed Churches

On account of the closing of all church buildings next Sunday, the fol- lowing short sermon has been fur nished by Rev. J. L. Marquis of the Presbyterian church, with the sugges- ton that each person hold little ser vice in his own home, reading a pas sage of scripture, singing some old fla miliar hymn, and then. reading this sermonette.
 The text is found in the . fourth Psalm and first verse, ",rhou hast en- larged me when I was in distress
 The world is passing through time of stress. Even in America every business house, every farm, every home, suffers from this war The Church, too, feels the stress Feels it in absence of active, enthusiastic young men. Feels it in the sidetrack- ing of church enterprises that the right of way may be given to war activities. Feels it in reduced income and in creased demands for money Feels it now in the closing of all houses of worship because of the danger of an epidemic of influenza It is time of stress for the church, of Christ We may almost say it. is a time of dis treSS,

them fifty per cent more than they ask for. But the greatest distress of man. kind is that caused by sin, and the remedy is the salvation of Christ Jesus. Shall we not seek to relieve this distress by winning men to Christ?
 Third, there is an enlarged realiza- tion of responsibility. The draft has met with no real opposition. Every red d-Dlooded boy under draft age is eager to volunteer. Men whose salA rleS mounted into the tens of thous- ands are willingly serving for a pit tance. The best brains of the nation are at the service of our government proffered freely. Man, woman and child feel that each has responsibility resting upon him and cannot be a stacker. Jesus Christ, the Captain of our salvation, would also press home upon us our personal responsibility for those about us. Let no one be q stacker in the cause of Christ.
 Fourth, there is an enlarged appre- claton Of the presence of God. Mar shal Foch is a man of prayer. belieyins Tn the power of prayer. The soldier Who goes over the top may not be a church member. but he feels the near ness Of God in his time of stress. The mother, the wife, the sweetheart who prays daily for the absent loved one has been drawn nearer to the Infinite One in whose hands are all the issues of life. America today is quite generally ceaslng all activity for one minute ot prayer each day as the noon hon, strikes. God is being brought near tc us through distress. And the Churct or Christ is more spiritual, more filled with the Holy Ghost, because of its 1 trials.
 Fifth. there is an enlarged idea o- true worship. The preacher who ha, served as chaplain or Y. M. c. A. sec. retary in camp or trench realizes ina religion is deeper than any form o service. The church member vh, cannot worship in a church buildin, finds that he can commune with Gof In his own home. If the closing of ou churches during this epidemic will re vlve the old habit of family prayers we shall be able to see in it a blessinp And' when again we meet in pnhli

GRANDMA USED SAGE
 TEA ID DARKEV HAR
SHE MIXED SULPHUR WITH IT TO RESTORE COLOR, GLOSS,
 YoUTHFULNESS

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added. will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant Jusl few applications will prove a revela- tion if your hair is fading, streaked or gray Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is trou blesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in gredients.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one call tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, takine one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy. soft and luxuriant.

Yet there are blessings which come from the stress to which we are be- ing subjected. With David we may say Thou hast enlarged me when was inf distress
 First there is an enlarged sense of brotherhood among men. Not only are men of every race and color fighting shoulder to shoulder in the trenches, but there all class distinctions have been broken down. The millionaire and the hobo chum together in mutual helpfulness, and will understand each other better in the future. What men have learned at the front, the church of Christ is learning at home. Our denominations are closer. Church unity is nearer.
 Second, there is an enlarged sympa- thy for those in distress. The Red Cross asked for one hundred million and received half as much ssain. The need of the Belgian sufferers called busy women for days from their home duties that they might sew and pack boxes of clothing. The Armenian atrocities have touched both heart and pocketbook. Next week the United War societies will ask us for one hun dred and seventy million dollars, and it is almost certain that we shall give

QUEER QUIRKS IN
 ANCIENT AUTO DOPE

The city council of Rochester, N. Y, passed an ordinance in January, 1901, which required automobiles operated in that city to carry two lamps to be lighted within an hour after sundown and a. gong or bell with which to warn pedestrians.
 The Automobile club of Bridgeport, Conn.,, formed in 1900, started its ca- reer by advocating the establishment of an auto stable" where automobiles could be kept and cared for at a noml- nal cost.
 It was in 1900 that a well-known tailor in Chicago introduced specially designed clothing for motorists. His announcement read in part as follows: We can furnish a leather chauffeur suit, jacket, trousers, cap and goggles complete in any color found in kid gloves at fifty dollars the outfit"
 There was serious talk of granting franchises to run automobiles in Syra- cuse, \. Y., at the time of their intro ducuon.
 In Reading, Pa, an. early motorist was arrested for driving his horseless carriage faster than a, common trot.'
 At the dawn of the automobile in- dustry many enthusiasts predicted an early decline in the value of street railway stock as result of the advent of the new form of locomotion. That it would soon supersede the street car was their confident expectation.
 In Paris, at the Cycle and Automo- bile show in 1901, a large American automobile manufacturing concern was refused permission to exhibit his ma chine by the police on the ground that it was dangerous"
 An interesting suit was tried in Hackensack, N J., in 1900, to deter mine whether or not the automobile was a common nuisance. In a few minutes the jury brought in a. verdict in favor of the automobile.
 Automobile traps were the inspra- ton of a perfectly respectable citizen in Cobourg, France. His idea had birth in 1900. Later, after he had tast- ed the pleasure of motoring, he lost much of his former enthusiasm for his project.
 The first public garage in New York city was located at 213 West 18th | street It was called a stable" for gasoline vehicles.
 | Automobiles using gasoline for fuel were prohibited from all ferryboats until early in the year 1901. Although the sultan of Turkey join ed the ranks of automobilists in 1901, he did not dare to trust his person to his machine. but seemed to find suffi- cient pleasure in looking on while two officers manuevered it in front of his l window.

HOME BUILDERS IN
 NEW LINE 0F WORK

One of the business establishments of Phoenix that has taken long steps in growth and improvement in the past few years is the Home Builders. Their original line of work was the building of homes. A few years ago they took over the blaming mill established by Clinton Campbell and are now operat- ing 1t, greatly enlarged and improved in equipment, one of the most complete of its kind in the southwest.
 Less than a year ago the Home Builders added the building of automo- bile truck bodies and allied work to their activities. The work they have done in this line has amply justirfied the establishing of the line. The tools and machinery they first purchased for the work soon proved to be inadequate because of the growth of the business. They then bought out the tools and machinery of the Heileman shop, which adioins their own, and have taken a lease on the building.
 A large stock of hardwood for use in constructing truck bodies, farm imple- ments and wagons is carried. Plans are now being made for putting in a complete line of blacksmith iron, steel and the like.
 | E. l.. Johnson, who has for the past several years been superintendent of the blaming mill. will be in charge of the new undertaking. Patrons are as sured by MT. Johnson that the same ef- ficient work will be done in the new line as in the blaming mill.
 | The new shop will do every kind of wood and blacksmith work with the exception of horseshoeing. Particular attention will be accorded all kinds of farming machinery and automobiles. Automobile spring repairing will be made a speciality. The shop is located on First street, south of the railroad.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE GIVES WHOLE LIFE ID
 EDUCATIONAL WORK

The republican nominee for county school superintendent of this county, < A. Moore, is one of the most accom- plished schoolmen of the state, by edu- cation and training. His career began in Ohio where he taught country schools. In that way he prepared for and worked his way through the Uni versity of Wooster with the degree of A. E. In further preparation for school work which he decided upon as his life work he went to the University of Chi cago, specializing in language and his tory. He received his masters degree there on completing his masters thesis.
 On that he was awarded a teaching fellowship in the University of Wis consin where he did most of his gradu- ate work. Then he entered upon teach ing in the public schools, going first to Fargo, N. D., whence he came to the Salt River valley twelve years ago.
 It is said that MT. Moore has pre- pared more young men for Rhodes OK ford scholarship than any other man in the southwest Two of them were resi- dents of this county and one of them became an instructor in the famous school of Rugby, made still more fam ous under the direction of Dr. Arnold and still more famous by Thomas Hughes story of Tom Brown at Rugby
 The educational platform of MT. Moore is:
 1. Complete Americanization of our schools including centralization in the office of the county school superin- tendent of the sale of thrift stamps and all other war work in the schools.
 ?. Installation of an up-to-date method of bookkeeping so that each district may have detailed statement of their debits and credits as entered each month.
 8. A larger degree of supervision over the work of the teachers in, the rural districts, to the end that the teachers may be enabled to enrich the work of their schools.

None of the experts on the commission has heard of it before. They declare that when fish is entirely frozen life is extinct; though it is possible for fish to appear to be frozen when it's flesh is only stiffened from the cold. The blood is still uncongealed, there fore the fish is still alive and will, of course, revive gradually when placed in water of the proper temperature.
 Even this will happen only to fish which has been. caught through a hole in the ice and left lying exposed on the ice surface until it has become stiff ened from the. cold.
