Washington, July 22.-Amendment ot
the new water power act to exclude
the national parks from its provisions
will be demanded of congress at It's
next session, it is announced oy
Robert Sterling Yard, executive secre'
tary of the national parks association
Mr.. Yard also says that fight VIII
be made to have congress reject pend
ing legislation, which he asserts, opens
the way for irrigation projects 10
draw on the parks for water.
Without amendment, Mr.. Yard says
the water power act is "the death
warrant OF our national park system,
because all government owned land
and reservations are embraced within
its terms, making it possible for PRIV
ate interests to erect dams, power
houses, transmission lines and other
structures by obtaining leases from the
federal water power commission.
1t was not until the water power
bill reached President Wilson for ap'
proval that discovery was made by
conservatonsts that national parks
would be affected, and now the fight,
Mr.. Yard says, will be made for
| its amendment.
Besides the efforts to change tthe
water power act, Mr. Yard says an
effort will be made to prevent fav-
orable action on pending legislation,
granting permission to private In
terests to build an irrigation reser-
voir in an obscure swamp in the
sopt tSwestern corner of the Yellow
stone National Park, miles from any
road This measure, he asserts, would
be the opening wedge for number
of irrigation plans for other nationai
parks.
Mr.. Yard anticipates that other
legislation, including proposal 1o~
damming Yellowstone Lake, will be
brought before congress, all of which
he contends would tend to destroy
the beauty of Americas Fairgrounds.
"The conservation associations and
many institutions throughout the
country" Mr.. Yard says, "are even
organizing now for the defense OF the
parks. Our new national park sys'
TEN has fairly caught the irnagina'
ton of this idealistic and very prac-

a system Of exhibits of the native
American wilderness, untouched, for
all time, but the beginning of colos'
sal national economic asset which

thousands of foreign visitors here every

ALL OF KAN
SAS WHEAT CROP HARVESTED

Topeka, Kan. July 22.-The Kan
sas wheat crop Of more than lO,oOO,oOo
acres is harvested with the excep-
ton Of a few fields in the extrems
northwestern part Of the state. II
was Just month ago today that
the big job got underway in the
southern counties and in a brief 30
days Kansas farmers have harvested
enough wheat to feed for year
a third of the population OF the
United States. Kansas again stands
the premier wheat growing state OF
the nation.
The outstanding feature OF the new
crop Is the come back" 1t staged
in the last few months. During a
winter, unprecedented for drouth in
the great wheat belt of central Kan
sas, the prospects of the crop dwln'
died to a minimum. With the opening
of spring drouthy conditions were
alleviated but little, and the pros
poets Of wheat sagged lower as wind
storm after wind storm swept across
the state, bearing the roots Of the
wheat in some fields and buryins
others in drifts Of sand and earth.
With the arrival of spring, in many
localities the wheat was scarcely
started. Its condition was officially
pronounced as most unpromising.
The first official estimate of the crop
last May was around 90.00o.000 bush.
els.
In a month more favorable condi-
tions-much needed rains-had revived
the crop until the official forecast was
boosted at 110,OOO,OO0. The last re-
port by the state board of agriculture
indicated that the total acreage had
formerly been underestimated, assess
ors' returns showing that the total
would exceed 100000 acres. IN
this report the Kansas bureau Of the
federal bureau Of crop statistics es'
tinated the crop would run l4.2s
bushels to the acre. In view OF or
ficial reports that the yield is
better than expected" and the cur
rent speculation as to what the total
viii be, much interest is manifested
In the report to be made this week
by j. c. Mohler, secretary OF the

EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS

No two races OF people have ever
occupied the same country as long
as the whites and the blacks have
occupied the United States without
war and bloodshed and waste Of prop
erty. This speaks volumes for the
common sense Of the two races in
this country and there is no reason
why the two races should not occupy
the same country for an indetemin-
able time without war and unusual
trouble The adjustment of these liv-
ing conditions is due to the progress
Of the people. The greater the pro
gress made by the individual the
farther nation advances the farther
1t is removed from war.
The proper respect Of each race in
his own station solves the problem
Of living together in peace. These
stations should be well defined as they
are today and as they have been since
the civil war.
Southern white men who know the
negro best and who respects the good
people of that race who have helped
ic clear the lands and to till the
soil and TO help do tine labor Of the
world hold feeling Of friendliness
for the black man. There was never
a good old darkey in the land who
could not go among his white folks"
and gather in money TO relieve the
sick or to build his churches and
schools. These men of the South do
not refer TO the negro in the disparag
ing terms Of "coons' and other sob
riQuets that are used TO apply to
the colored race.
The negro realizes that white domi-
nation is right for the reason that the
white race has made greater advances
in civilization and had it not been for
the laws of the white man and the
government Of the white race there
would have been many wars among
the negroes as there arc among the
tribes of the old world. The negro
could not have advanced until some
members OF his race are physicians
and lawyers and bankers and big land
owners If the example OF the white
man had not stood out before him. The

Selling The Home

The steady increasing price OF
real estate has induced number of
persons to sell their homes at what
they consider a profit. But they
have soon found they made no profit
for the reason they had to take all
the money they received for the
place and buy another residence that
was perhaps no better than the one
disposed Of.
1t was a temptation for the fellow
who paid two or three thousand dol
lars for a home to be offered five or
six thousand for it. He argued that
he could make two or three thous-
: and dollars by selling out. But when
he, sold, and tried to buy another
home for the money he got from the
old one, he couldn't find anything
as desirable as the place he had dis
posed of. That has been the eXperl-
ence of many persons within the
past year or more.
The best advice that was ever
given to anyone is not to sell the
home. There is no profit in doing
so nowadays if one has to have a
house to live in. The lure OF the
supposed profit should not be allow
ed to influence anyone in disposlng
of his residence. 1t is deluslon
and a snare. OF course you can gel
more for your house now than you
could ever get before. But before
you sell, it would be good idea &c
remember that you will also have to
Day more for the one you'd expec'
to move into.

ROSEMARY SCHOOL
GROWERS TO POOL
WOOL FOR AUCTION

Three cooperative auction
sales of wool are to be held this
summer by the North Carolina
Sheep Breeders and Wool Grow
ers Association at Asheville,
Greensboro and Washington,
North Carolina.
The sales are to be supervised
by George Evans, Secretary of
the Association, and Chas. S.
Jones, N. G. Livestock Market
Agent, who anticipate that by
assembling the wool from a
number of counties several
buyers from eastern markets
will be attracted and competitive
bidding result in highest possible
prices being paid at these sales.
Growers are urged to consign
their wool to one of the three
sales where it will be received
by committee, graded by a
wool grader and sold at auction;
the right being reserved to re-
ject any or all bids if not satis-
factory. Careful records are to
be kept and statement and check
sent to each consignor, after
actual selling expenses are de-
Quoted. There are to be no
commission charges, and expen-
ses will be kept to a minimum in
these cooperative sales. 1t is
expected that a commercial wool
grader can be obtained to grade
the wool without expense to the
consignors.
This plan of marketing wool
comparatively has been success
full in a number of other states,
and Mr.. Jones states that there
is no reason why it should not be
equally successful in North
Carolina. Further information
on these sales can be obtained by
writing to Mr.. Jones or Mr..
