NEGRO PREACHER,
147 YRS. OLD, DEAD

New York, Sept 26.-Claining to be
lat years old, William Masios, negro
preacher, died here recently after be-
ing admitted to Bellevue Hospital.
He answered all questions put to
him by the incredulous doctors about
Revolutionary times, and his answers
were so intelligent that the hospital
authorities put him on record as being
of that age-the Oldest patient ever
admitted to the hospital.
He told the doctors that Uncle Sam
raised the draft age up to forty-five,
but that he could give away hundred
years and still be over the draft age.
Neighbors say he was born in Rich
mond, Va, in 1771.

BUY LIBERTY BONDS, PLEASE


There by the fireside she sits all alone
In little house they had always
called home
But her boy isn't there; she is lone
some tonight,
And the fire seems SO dim when it
used to be bright.
He left home at his country's first
call.
Proudly she gave him, her pride, joy
and all.
She's poor, but she's happy; she gave
all she had.
She didn't have money, so she gave
up her lad.
She could give more than money could
buy,
And stand it, with only prayer and
a sigh.
Why can't you, who have money to
spare,
Buy Liberty Bonds to help the boys
over there.
They are fighting for you in rain and
in snow.
When you get homesick there's no
place to go.
It's up to you. MEAN YOU, sitting
home at your ease.
Wake up. take out your roll. buy Lib
erty Bonds, please!

"THE MEMPHIS BLUES

One of the most brilliant writer's for
the popular Saturday Evening Post"
is irwin S. Cobb He is a southern
man; but his heart is in the right
place. On several occasions he has
paid fine tribute to the Negro sol
diers at the front "over there" and
his tribute is sincere. The following
extract is ffom one Of his articles in
a recent number:
1.-TWO days we stayed on there
with an American Negro regiment
near the 'front.', and they were two
days of a superior variety of contin-
uous black face vaudeville. There
was the evening when for our benefit
the men organized an impromptu con
cert featuring quartet that would
succeed on any mans burlesque cir
cult, and troupe of buck and wing
dancers whose equals it would be
hard to find on the Big Time. There
was the next evening when the band
OF forty pieces serenaded us. / think
surely this must be the best regimen.
tai band in the war. On parade when
it played the Memphis Blues the men
did not march; the music poured in at
their ears and ran down to their heels
and instead of marching they liter
ally danced their way along.

OUR SPECIAL GRIEVANCES


DR.. Dubois says in the September
Crisis: The leading editorial in the
July Crisis, called "Close Ranks, has
been the subject of much comment.
To a few it has seemed to indicate
some change of position on the part
of the National Association for the
advancement Of Colored People and
the Crisis. 1t is needless to say that
it indicates nothing of the sort This
Association and this magazine stand
today exactly where they have stood
Turing the eight years of their work
viz, for the full manhood rights of
the American Negro.
The July editorial is not in the
slightest degree inconsistent with
| these principles. 1t was submitted to
prominent members and officers Of
the board before printing and found
no objection.
The editorial seeks to say that the
first duty Of an American is to win
bAC wal ctAQ llldt W tl1lo dll C&OG 10
subsidiary. 1t declares that whatever
personal and group grievances inter
fere with this mighty duty must wait
1t does not say that these griev-
onces are not grievances, or that the
temporary setting aside of wrongs
makes them right But it does say
and the Crisis repeats the word. that
any man or race that seeks to turn
his country's predicament to his own
personal gain is fatally cheating him
self.
What the Crisis said is precisely
what in practice the Negroes of Amer
lea have already done during the war
and have been advised to do by every
responsible editor and leader
The editorial was in exact accord
and almost in the very words Of a res
olution written by the same hand and
passed unanimously by the thirty-one
editors of all the leading Negro pub
lications in America.
Did Negroes refuse to serve in the
draft until they got the right to vote?
NO, they stormed the gates Of the
army for the right to fight. Did they
refuse commissions because their
army school was segregated? No,
they were eager to enter and diligent
to learn. Have we black mon for one
moment hesitated to do our full duty
in this war because we thought the
country was not doing its full duty to

who advised by word written or spoA-
en-, rebellion and disloyalty? Certainly
not. Then somebody forgot his spe-
cial grievance" and fought for his
country, and to him and for him the
Crisis speaks. The Crisis says, first

REGULATE FEED BY
milk PRODUCTION
Cows Should Be Fed in Proportion to
Yield of Milk.

Every dairyman should find out the
profitable and Improbable cows in his
herd, and replace the latter by others
that will yield profitable returns for
the amount of feed consumed. This
may easily be done by weighing the
total yield of each COW per day; then
feeding each animal according to the
amount she produces in the "a hours.
For example, it has been carefully
estimated that for COW to do her
best, she should receive one pound of
concentrated feed, with roughage in
addition, for each three and one-half
pounds of milk she produces per day,
which is usually sufficient for her
own upkeep as well as her production
of milk
As an illustration. let us say that
COW produces So pounds of milk per
day; she ought to receive. ap0roXi-
metely. ten pounds of concentrated
feed per day. On the other hand, if
her daily yield should be only IS
pounds of mill: per day. she would be
enUlLiSd 10 only nan me amount OF
feed that the 36-pound cow should
have. If COW should go up in her
production, so should the amount of
feed in the proportion mentioned.
TIE ~ule. thn1, OF ono pound of con-
centr1ted feed for each three and one.
half round3 Of milk q COW gives per
| day will he found very useful to dairy
men in getting better yields of milk
and in economizing in their feed; and
not only so, but it would give clue
to the poor producing cows of the
! herd and lead to their being supplant
ed by more profitable animals. Yet
how many are feeding the 18-pound
COW as much as the 36-po"nd animal
should have. and the good producer
! only as much as the poor one is en-
titled 10? Regulation of this matter
of feeding would not only save feed
but would increase the production Of
milk and its products, so much need
ed at the present time.-W. II. Dial

Science, Louisiana State University.

FATS Are NfLJEs:
FOR MANY PURPOSES
Hogs Are Great Fat P10cuoers an
their Number Should 81 Increased

Hogs are mentioned by lhe oni'eU
States Food Administrator as one -
the three main agencies fa' VIII 'e

Fats are very essential at inc pres
ent time, and will continue 10 oe d
tar tho war has been bF bought to q

more abundant producer pi Iats 'n''V
the hog. Consequently III Is extreme
" urgent that hogs be coinserVeu al"
urootlv increased production of them
secured.
This can be accomplished IN sIed'
,,o.s,re nv hog raisers retaining their
breeding sows and their youhs pigs
Prices for hogs are high lat the pres
o,,t tino and there is gteat tempta-
ton for the farmers to dispose OF them
for slaughter, irrespective OF sex
weight, age or condf ecu on that ac,
count, evidently owe ing the rae
that prices will remaM 'ngh, not oni!
during the period of the var, but 1oI
some time after peace hfs been oe-
clared.
No doubt there may bel eXception2i
,rstorcos where farmers bnay be in
immediate need of rloneYl from the
sale Of their hogs; but wihFe such IS
not the ease. the inliscTtminate dis
rosal OF their stock, foH temporary
gain only, and especially where feed IS
plentiful. is only lessaning their
chances for future profit BIZ decreasing
the number of their breeding animals,
and failing to get the full benefit from
their pigs which they would do If they
kent them until they had gAined great
er weight, and, therefore, worth moro
money on the market.
Under ordinary conditions, 1t would
seem the better part Of wisdom to get
rid of the old and improbable sows,
while retaining the younger, vigorous
animals for breeding stock to increase
| the herds; but it seems unwise 20 dis
pose of the young stuff for slaughter
that are under 100 pounds weight al
least.
BY adopting some such method as
that suggested, a greatly increased
production of hogs could be secured
and, necessarily. more hog products
including fats, which are so nrgen y
needed at the present tinhe.--W. H
