Drastic Action Was Ordered
Washington-(By A. P.)-Home
brewing was brought actively under
the prohibition ban today when it was
learned that enforcement officials had
ruled against the sale of hops and

it was definitely ascertained that
such instructions had been issued.
Details of the order were lacking.
The only admission by prohibition Of
ficials in the absence of Commission
er Kramer was that the Volstead act
had been constructed to mean that the
sale fo malt and hope as component
parts of homemade beer were with
out the pale of the law and their sale
must stop. Enforcement officials
throughout the country have been
notified of the governments deter

FARMS MUST Be PUT
ON BUSINESS BASIS
OWNERS OF FARMS MUST PLACE
THEMSELVES ON PAR WITH
MERCANT AND OTHERS
(Farm Mechanics Magazine)

Greater cooperation between farm
ers and bankers so that the business
Of producing farm products can be
financed along the same lines as the
business of manufacturing and sell
ing merchandise of all kinds will cut
the cost of food production and in
crease farm profits, asserts George
A. Woodford in an article on ''The
Relation of Banking to the Business
of Farming in the current Novem-
ber issue of Farm Mechanics maga-
zine.
"In the fifty years from 1910 to
1890, the development of farm mach
inery enabled four men to do the work
that required fourteen" says Mr..
Woodford To-day we are faced with
the problem of so equipping the farms
of the nation that one man can pro-
duce as much as the four in 1890 or
the fourteen in 1910.
"MOre than that, we want to reduce
the days work of that one man to a
normal length, eliminate the unneces-
sary drudgery, and afford him the
conveniences and pleasures that have
made city life attractive.
"And still more, we must enable
him to get greater production from
the land that he now farms, for little
new land is available and the ever
demands of the nations
population must be taken care of by
better use of the land we now have.
Can it be done?
''Certainly-it is being done on
many farms; modern methods, ma
terial and machinery that will accom-
plish this are now available. Tried
and proven, they stand ready to help
the farmer produce bigger and better
crops in less time with less work at
less expense.

UNWRITTEN LAW
SAVED BLACK MAN
WHO KILLED white
(By Assoclated Negro Pressl

Lancaster, Wis, May 19-Jack
Green, an aged colored man of this
city, was acquitted by a verdict of
'justifable homicide" by jury in the
criminal court for the killing of VIM
Duncan, a wealthy white auto dealer
Of this city. The cause of the killing
was the raping of Green's fourteen
year-old daughter by Duncan. Evil
dence produced at the trial which
proved that Duncan had outraged the
girl and then threatened her with
death if she divulged the crime The
attorneys who defended the father of
the g.rl declared that their client was
justified in the killing because the
civil authorities had failed to appre-
hend Duncan upon the charges made
by Green of Duncans continued ad-
vances toward his child Green, they
declared had appealed to the police
and to the civil powers without avail,
and then, crazed by the shame. he
had killed the despoiler The jury
took the view of the defendants law

BLACK TROOPS Are
HOPE OF FRANCE
SAYS noted WRITER
(By William Pickens)

Africa has been the refuge for good
men and good principles ever since
the angel told the father and the
mother to take the child and "flee
into Egypt" o. Men of France! the
sole security of your future is in
close and closer alliance with your
blacks in Africa. 1t is your best hope
for military prestige, and perhaps for
economic existence, and possibly for
life-blood itself
1t is more than an accident of his
tory that black men saved you in the
dangerous day from Teutonic AFRO
gance and barbarism. 1t was a dis
pensation of the Providence who
shapes our ends. The white world is
going to desert you; to be sure, you
are shade of its color and flesh of its
flesh, but you are not of its genius and
spirit. You are the last liberal spirit
left N the white world today. More
than English, German or American.
You still feel that you are among men
in the world. The dominant feeling
among most other whites is that they
are men among brutes and half brutes.
Your liberalism is your providential
strong point and it is more than an
accident that a great black people
have been closely allied with your
recent interests and your destiny.
You alone among white nations
seem to be near to the realization that
God made the world for all men of
all colors, or that he would not have
made all colors of men for the world.
1t is true that the colored race orig
mated civilization; that is, that they
HAPPENED to be the first people civ
ilized. But that does not give them
any better title to civilization than it
gives you and the German-although
your ancestors and the ancestors of
Kaiser Wilhelm were extraordinarily
late in adopting civilization Civiliza-
tion is the joint product of all the
races of Africa, Asia and Europe, who
contributed to it. When the German
was a wild thing, civilization was be-
ing nursed in Africa.
A close alliance with your African
blacks, mighty in their fecundity, is
your one best bet for future life and
power

new MANAGEMENT
PHOENIX TRIBUNE
AFTER JUNE FIRST

Readers of the Phoenix Tribune will
be surprised and delighted to learn
that change in the management of
this paper has been made and the
new owners will assume full control
beginning with the first issue in June.
A. R. Smith, the founder, present
owner and publisher Of the Tribune,
is retiring from the newspaper field
principally because of old age and
desire to see new, young blood in
jected in the work For the past
three years Smith has given all of his
time, talent and means to editing and
publishing this paper and has honest
ly and conscientiously tried to make
it a success. He was a little reluct-
ant at first about releasing his hold
on his pet as he terms it, but
when sufficient financial inducement
was offered and he was given the al
tentative of accepting or having two
stalwart, young, ambitious and thor
oughly trained newspaper men enter
the field as a competitor, he readily
consented.
The new owners have decided to
change the entire policy of the
Tribune, claiming that the present
policy is altogether too conservative,
weak and vacillating, for men of their
calibre. Readers may therefore ex-
pect and be prepared to see some real
spicy news in the columns of the
Tribune, beginning with the first is
sue in June.
Smith has been writing insurance
as side line and it is the general
belief of all that he will now devote
more, If not all, of his time to this
business. He was carrying a $4,000
life insurance policy on himself and
this week took out another, doubling
the amount, which act now places
him in the $4,000 class. No specific
reason was given by him for taking
NAAA0 DuI II is
thought that he will use this as an il
lustration and example in order to
induce all his insurance customers to
do likewise. 1t may be stated here,
though of no particular importance,
that he succeeded in showing the new
owners the necessity of such policies
for themselves, and is now walking
around with the commission tucked
away in his 'jeans"
Now, to introduce the owners. They
are Alfred Robert Smith and Arthur
Randolph Smith, twins, who arrived
at the home of Editor and Mrs. Smith,
1902 East Jefferson street, on the
afternoon of May II. Mother and
sons doing fine. Thank you. New

Unalterably Opposed
To Organic Union
(By Asgociated Negro Press

(By Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, May 2O.-The three Meth
odist general conferences are very
much in the center of the current
news stage. Chicago is a big Meth
cdist community in the sense that a
large and influential number of its
citizens, black and white, are Meth
odist in fact and spirit. This makes
ST. Louis. Mo; Des Moines, Iowa, and
Knoxville, Tenn, points of special in
terest on the map of the country. The
A. M. E. conference is in session in
st. Louis; the M. E. is holding forth
in Des Moines, and the A. NJ. E. Zion
is settling its matters of state in
Knoxville. Each are wrestling; and.
if the signs already given out are in
dications of the outcome of this phase
Of the several situations, Methodist
union is about to receive another
black eye. AT Des Moines, they have
decided to add Negro bishops to the
Episcopal bench This appears to put
an end to the proposed union of the
Church North and the Church South.
Bishop Phillips seems to have given
knockout punch to the contemplated
union between the A. NJ. E. Zion and
the c. M. E. churches by giving life
to the fear that the A. NJ. E. branch
will eventually swallow his organiza-
tion so completely that within few
years its memory will be little else
than a dim tradition.
