or the printers got the copy mixed, but
whichever it be the mixup has caused consid-
cradle commotion as may be seen from the
following notice sent to Cayton's Weekly
for publication:

turning soldiers, he declined the offer and
informed those present that 81 have $780,

tee of ways and means Of the organization.
The president had appointed three other COM

entertainment of the soldiers, but before
they had time to make any report he startl-
ed those present by announcing, eff the

almost beyond capacity when some related
his great business success in Seattle, but
looked a little sheepish after some one told
a story at his expense. Briefly the story is
as follows: Stone went to deliver an order

lady visibly blushed, but failed to make
her report. Perhaps Stone blushed too,
but if he did no one was able to see it.

''Printing all the news that s fit to
print' shows great enterprise on the part
of newspaper but there come times when
to print all the news hurts instead Of helps
the cause the paper is trying to further, as
may be seen in ''Seattle's Leading Weaky'
paper, when it published all the news about
the Rev. w. D. Carter, chosen to go to
France to appear before the peace confer
encc to present the cause Of the oppressed
Negro in the United States. The Rev. Car
ter found a copy Of that Pleading weakly'
on file in the Secretary of States office at
Washington City and for once he was sorry
it had printed all the news as it's news
figured largely in him not getting his pass
ports.
One good turn merits another and ire
quently gets it, when the local branch Of the
Equal Rights League was trying to raise
sufficient money to send delegate to Wash
ington City to meet the national body, the
Seattle Branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People was
quick to see the point and quickly voted
out of it's treasure twenty-five dollars to
help defray the expenses Of that delegate
AT the last meeting of the Equal Rights
League it finding it had some surplus funds
on hand voted to reimburse the Seattle
Branch of the N. A. A. G. P. and handed
it a check for it's 1926.
Few brighter minds in Seattle have been

was duplicated when she left the high school,
