LONE HALF OF THE WORLD
DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE
OTHER HALF LIVES"

Most of the people in the United
States who are not in the profteer,
or bloated bondholder class, cannot
help wondering how their friends and
neighbors live in these strenuous
II. G.. l.. times? We believe we're
having an awful time but how would
it be with US if we had to pay as they
do in Russia.
The Russian ruble is nominally
worth a trifle more than half dollar
of our money. Reckoned on that
basis, bread in Russia is now selling
at $225 pound, -four at $3.50 to $3.50
a pound, beef at $275 to $500 a pound,
pork at $3.50 pound, salt at $3.50 a
pound, butter at $1,000 to $1,000 a
pound, the cheapest tobacco at $4,000
to $4,000 pound, cigarettes SIS to Sc
each, and matches, half of which will
not light, at $50 box. Army ra-
tions cost $500 to $500 day for each
man. Apparently, the cheapest thing
in the country is paper with the ruble
mark printed on it. All of which is
to be commended to those who are
preaching the superiority of the Soviet
to the Republic

Chinese, Polish or Russian schools.
The schools remain PUBLIC schools,
open to all.
There has been much talk about the
"Chicago Plan" and now we are get
ting some intimation that segregation
is to be a part of that plan. However
we believe that the thinking colored
people of Chicago have their eyes open
and will be ready to fight jimcrowiza-
ton of the schools.
One thing that Mr.. Perrine said is
true: 1.-THE colored boys and girls are
entitled to the best in the way of
equipment and teachers" The colored
children have the same rights as other
children, no more and no less. To at
tempt to segregate them is to take
from them their birthright. The only
way they can get the "best" is to at
tend the identical schools that other
American children attend. A jimcrow
school built of gold and studded with
diamonds would still carry with it the
degradation for which it was designed.

THE BEGINNINGS OF SEGREGA
TON,

The following item from the Chicago
Daily Tribune. is interesting as show
ing the various influences which are
suggesting and encouraging segrega-
ton.
1.-The possibility of Wendell Phillips
High school at Thirty-ninth street and
Prairie avenue being set apart for COL
ored pupils exclusively, "by a natural
segregation" was suggested last night
by Principal Charles H. Perrine. At
the First Presbyterian church, Grand
boulevard and Forty-frst street. DR..
Perrine spoke at the first of a series
of Sunday night community meetings
In connection with the Chicago Plan.
Negro boys and girls deserve the
best available in the way of teachers
and equipment. The district around
Wendell Phillips is rapidly becoming
settled by colored people, and there
are comparatively few white pupils,
They are getting fewer and fewer.
THE time is near at hand when we
shall need another high school farther
south to take care of the increased
white population there. A modern
high school located somewhere near
tiftieth street will be necessary soon
and should be included in the Chi
cago Plan. Wendell Phillips will be
then exclusively for colored pupils.
They should be given the finest high
school possible"

the First church, Announces a. series
of discussions on Sunday evenings to
consider the duty of the church in the
development of the Chicago Plan.

ASK ADAMLESS EDEN

Suggest That Governor of Wyomino
Procure for Them a "Bad Lands"
Tract as Soon as Possible,

Bloomington, Ill.-A group Of Kane
county girls plan to found an "Adam-
less Eden" in Wyoming or some other
far western state.
Miss Nellie Grant is sponsor for the
movement and has written to Gov. r.
D. Carey for his assistance in starting
a woman's colony far from the haunts
of man. In making her unique request,
Miss Grant stated that the party will
be made up of twenty, Of whom ten
are employed in watch factory, seven
are houSekeepers, two are nurses and
one is school teacher.
All are dissatisfied with their lot and
assert that the future holds forth
nothing that is sufficiently encourage
Ing to warrant their remaining at
home. They believe that they can
make success Of farming and would
like to obtain a section of land, $40
acres, in some unsettled region, far
from a railroad and little frequented
by man.
Miss Grant suggested to the Wyo-
ming executive tract in southwest
ern Wyoming known as the "Bad
Lands" and which is really desert.
No man will be allowed about the
premises.
Governor Carey admitted that it was
the most unusual request that he had
ever received. He turned the letter
over to the immigration commissioner
with suggestion that he do every
thing in his power to find such tract
for the party from Illinois.
The young women are ready to pay
for the tract, but have limited funds,
and can only finance a section that has
not yet felt the advancing tide of civ
llization in the way of price. Some
members of the proposed colony object
to Wyoming and believe that Montana
or Idaho offer greater possibilities.
The decision, however, has been left
with Miss Grant and the choice will
follow the investigation of various sites
now being made. In anticipation of
the establishment of the colony, the
various members are studying diligent-
1y the subject Of farming and stock
raising.
They are ambitious in their plans
and propose to utilize tractors and
trucks instead of horses, and will in
troduce other up-to.date methods on
the western frontier. They are also
studying irrigation. All of the young
women are becoming familiar with
revolver and rif1o on6 will no prororo1
to defend their colony against any
unwelcome intruders.
An effort is being made to close the
deal by fall so that the trip to the
West can be made by the first of next
year. It may be necessary to erect
some buildings. The young women
say that they will be prepared to do
everything necessary in the way Of
constructing domicile.

enemy of democracy with which we
have to contend, and the most serv-
iceable capitalistic tool, is organized

DOES THIS INTEREST YOU?

On certain farm of four acres in
the Lake Phalen district in 1918 crop
of 400 bushels of navy beans was
raised, harvested and sold at $500 per
bushel; in 1919 owing to certain condi-
tons, only 200 bushels were raised
which sold for $3.50 per bushel. The
owner of this little farm is unable to
work it this year, and wishes to Sc
cure man who understands raising
beans to work the land. The owner
will furnish the land the machinery
and the seed and divide the proceeds
