beyond, some to other states or cities,
new faces have come in to the life of
the community. With the exception of
V. c. Huntley we cannot recall another
farmer in the town of Moore that was
located in that town excepting perhaps
Albert Charles and Frank Angler, and
they are in the village limits. In the
town of Hodges there is the same change
and we recall only the names of Andrew
Macarthur, Walter Page and the Fitzger-
aid boys and Lars Rasmussen.
In the village there are the Selland
John Erickson and the Wilcox & Wells
stores under the same management. The
buildings have for the most part
changed from wood to brick. There
were but the two brick buildings in
town, that of the Wilcox store and the
town hall. We did not have water
works, electric lights nor a foot of
paved sidewalk when the first issue
of the paper came out, we had but a
three room school and such questions
as a sewer system did not bother us at
all and on real dark nights we took a
lantern along when we came. up town
and the store held open until ten
o'clock or the last customer decided he
might as we'll go home.
On running over our subscription list
we find nearly fifty names of those who
took the first copy of the paper and have
received every copy for the twenty-one
years since and who have been loyal
through thick and thin. 1t really don't
seem that long ago we ran off our first
issue on an old hand press up over
Sellands store, hut whep one stops to
note the changes it is not so hard to
realize.

Overwork, worry, overeating and
lack of exercise and sleep are re-
sponsible for much kidney trouble
If your back aches and the kidneys
seem weak, rest up and use Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Jerry Lawler, 9Th St., East, Morris,
says: II was annoyed with disor-
dered kidneys for several years.
Every time caught cold I was sure
to be worse. My back was very
painful and I couldn't get about to

kidneys would be sluggish in action
and would make me drowsy. also

did me more good than anything I
do my work. I believe all the hard
and have had no return of it."

persons, and at the conclusion of his adj

clever wit and natural as we'll as acquired

he is no more fitted for the position he and
others think he occupies than is a Billy

as to take his hearers unawares off of their
feet. He often boosted of the fact that for
ten years he had been a Methodist preacher,

tons so as to prey upon the weakness of
those, who are listening to him or her. is a
clever trick of the lecturer with an Interior
and selfish motive, and at that game I do
not hesitate to brand Dr. Easen past grand
master. I am not opposing the proposition
that he was advocating, on the contrary I
am of the opinion that his proposition has
a great deal more than mere passing de-
gree Of merit in it, but do object of one

Had that 100000 paid by colored citi-
zens been put to work in business way
and it's obligations taken care of as
promptly as have been the payments on
those parcels of real estate that same
number of colored persons would not
only now own their homes in fee simple,
IT they so desired, but would have been
in a position to have assisted fully five
hundred more to get homes and make it
easy for them to pay for the same. Next
week L mean to have more to say about
the colored man and his home getting in
Seattle and his method of meeting his
obligations, and, incidentally say word
about being your brothers keeper. Our
group is not very strong on looking out
for the best interest of the other fellow,
they are much on the plan of the old
deacon who prayed, "God bless me and
my wife, my son John and his wife, our
four and no MORE" which to my mind
is not only exceedingly selfish but short
sighted and is true case of cutting off
your nose to- spite your face In union
there is strength, which is the same as
cooperation The old man who on his
death bed tied seven sticks in bundle

was quickly followed by I. F. Norris buy

Those three real estate purchases created
quite Juror in the colored circles of
the city and then the real buying did
begin and it is safe to say that in five
years more not less than five hundred
colored persons had purchased houses
and lots and made homes of them. TO
individualize in that long list OF real
estate purchasers would be next to impOs-
sible, but suffice it to say the most OF
them did so under very trying circum-
stances and held on to them with much
difficulty owing to being financed by
companies that had no particular desire
to do so, but did so more as matter OF
fact than what they termed business

concerned It is safe to say that the
purchase price Of those 500 homes was not
a cent less than one million dollars ana
of that sum in the neighborhood of $780,
900 was paid in cash. Suppose those
colored purchasers had have devised some
plan by putting that 100000 in one pot

NEW MAP MAKES
 GEOGRAPHY EASY

As a result of the genius of Los Angeles inventor the study of geo. graphy may become popular, even among school children. Charles M. Williams, 2O6 Thorne street, has in vented a globe many times as in formative as the ouija board and of such exceptional education value that the university of Harvard, Yale, Pen nsylvania, Columbia, Michigan and Swarthmore, the United States Geo. logical Survey, the United States coast and Geodetic Survey, the United States Department of Commerce, the National Education Association, the National Geographic Society and all the boards of education which have seen it have indorsed it.
 1. The United Drug Company, which operates about 10000 stores in the United tSates and Canada, has bought the rights to the invention for twen- ty years. Mir. Williams will go to New York in July to establish and supervise a factory for the manufac- ture of the globes for that company, and next year will go to London to establish a factory there for the same purpose.
 When one stops to reflect that the World War made junk of all the mil lions of globes in use in schools, col leges and homes, and that all the uni versailles and scientists that have in- dorsed it seem to consider MT. Will liam's globe superior and very much superior to any now in existence, one begins to realize what the Los An geles inventor has accomplished.
 The globe does not follow the idea of the index map. It is an index globe which also gives one, by the simple turn of crank, a compact his tory of the country he is interested in, important facts about it's industries and commerce and a reel of pictures of it's scenes.
 Out of the parts of the globe de- voted to oceans look three windows. On the tape back of one window is an alphabetical list of 30,0O0 names of places of interest on the earth's surface. After each name are two numbers, indicating latitude and long itude. Aften Los Angeles, for in stance, are the numbers 117-44. The equator on the globe is line carrying a number on the frame which holds the globe are other numbers equally close together. By swinging the globe till the number 117 is in juxtaposition to the frame, and then looking up the frame to number A, one finds Los Angeles, all in less than half a minute.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-06-12

And it is just as easy to find any of the other 29,999 places listed.
 Then, by swinging the globe till another of the little windows is in front of the eyes, one may find an alphabetical list of several thousand pictures on a reel. The window is of magnifying glass, so by merely turn ing to Los Angeles again one may see a score of pictures of the city en- larged as though in a stereopticon. The same is true of the countries and principal cities on the globe. The third window, in the same way, con- tains a reel of history and important facts about the countries and prin- cipal cities. Prof. Wallace Atwood of Harvard University is selecting the matter for the "insides" of the globe.
 The perfected globe will be so ac- curate that it will suit the most ex- acting scientist and yet interesting and entertaining enough to amuse children.
 Carnegie Institute is interested in the globe and scientists there will work out the variations of the com pass on it. Swarthmore College has arranged with MT. Williams to put the solar system instead of the earth on it for the use of scentists and students of astronomy.
 MT. Williams returned from the East few days ago to work on ma chinery for the New York factory. He is the inventor of several things which were used by the government during the war. He was in Washing ton in connection with those inven- tions, when the armistice was signed, and immediately began working on the globe. Dr. John H. Francis, for merly superintendent of schools here, saw the globe in Washington and help ed MT. Williams interest the U. s. Commissioner of Education.
 MT. Williams demonstrated the globe before Dr. James Chamberlain's classes at the southern branch of the University of California last week.
