the attention OF New 1Ork COiOre0
people Just at present. The detection
of the United Civic League from the
Republican ranks has eansed a sensa-
tion. This organization Of which John
NJ. Royal is head has for years stug-
gled for elective representation for
Negroes in New York. The fact that
two Colored assemblymen in succession
have been elected to the legislature has
been largely due to the efforts of the
United Civic League. The League has
been steadfastly Republican until this
election. 1t is issuing a pamphlet IN
der the date Of October the 3Oth show
ing Why Colored people should support
the entire Democratic ticket with the
exceptions of the ColOred men nomi
mated for aldermen and assemblyman
by the Republican party. The pamphlet
calls attention TO the record of the Re
publican nominee for surrogate, Mr.
James o 'Malley in the famous case of
Benjamin Thomas where an innocent
eolOred man was convicted and had 10
appeal to get the justice, repeal and en-
tire vindication that was due him. As
the supporting of the entire Democratic
ticket with but three exceptions cannot
but fail to affect the entire slate Of the
Republicans as a whole it is predicted
by the ones that know that for the
frst time in the history Of New York
the Negro districts face the possibility
Of a Democratic landslide on Election

Surnames Were First Used
In France In Tenth Century

Surnames. so called from the early
practice of writing them over the
Christian. or FIRST names (sur, mean
ing on or Over), were first used In
France early In the tenth century, and
were introduced into England after
the conquest by William of Normandy.
AS all know, the people of the Bible
had but one name, usually significant
of some feature of their birth. 9. g..
Benjamin, "son of my strength" But
as the population increased, and the
names become so common as to no
longer convey individuality, the GUS
tom arose of adding the parents name !;
thus, Joshua, son of Nut. Hebrew
names survive in changed form in our
most common English names. Benja-
min has been shortened to Benson.
Bentley, Benari, etc. Levi survives in
Lewis and Elias in Ellis.

RABBIT
NO LONGER PEST
Flesh IL Now Canned for Food

Fully 2o0,G00.G00 wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year,
according to estimates made by the
biological survey of the United States
department OF agriculture. Many of
the number are jack rabbits, the ma
jority of which have not been utilized
In the past
If all the rabbits killed were con-
sumed they would represent between
100000 and 100000 tons of valuable
food, and If proper measures were
taken to insure the collection of skins
these alone would have a value of
S20000,000. The biological survey has
been frequently asked TO check the
rabbit pest. In view OF the probable
economic value Of rabbit meat and fur
In the coming few years. the energies
of the farmers and ranchmen will be
directed to the conservation of this i'm
portant resource. Already a number
of establishments for collecting, dress
ing, canning and shipping rabbit meat
are in operation In western centers.
As In Australia, the transition OF the
wild rabbit In this country from its
status as pest to source of profit
is assured, it is believed.

Fresh from his theological studies,
Charles NJ Mcconnell went to Lake
vile five years ago as pastor of the
Methodist church there.
Mcconnell was sent to Lakeville
because the Methodist board of Sun
day schools chose it as the least prom
Using charge" they could find. And
the board wanted to experiment.
The new pastor found a moribund
church and an epidemic of hog chol7

sermons. But he did not neglect to
send to the State University for chol-
era serum.
