Ingenious "Hatroom Pirates"

Two hatroom pirates in a Broad
way danSant had battle over a
spool of thread the other night. When
they were pulled apart it was learned
that they use white thread to loosen
change from tightwads. They cut the
thread in little strips. When a per
son refuses to tip for being brushed
off, the boys wait until he reaches the
front door, then rush after him and
begin apparently to pull q number OF
white rawlings off his back. Then
they show them to the tightwad. 1t is
always good for a diue.-New York

Toilet of Ant COMPLICATED.

There is no creature of the animal
kingdom which is more particular as
TO personal cleanliness than the ant,
which can not tolerate the presence
of dirt on its body. These little
creatures actually use a number of
real toilet articles in keeping them
selves clean. A well-known authority
says their toilet articles consist of
coarse and tine-tOothed combs, hair
brushes. spOnges and even washes and
soap. Their combs, however, differ
from ours mainly in that they are fas-
tened to their legs. The ants have
90 set time for their toilet operations,
but clean up whenever they get soiled.

BLACkHEAD CURE &
HAS BEEN FOUND

Applying their medical knowledge
to the turkey disease known as black
head, Drs. Harry and Paul Wege-
forth of San Diego have discovered
and announce that ipecac is a cure and
preventative for the diseas which
makes raising the Thanksgiving birds
a difficult one by killing off large por-
tions of the young flok.
The Drs. Wegeforth made their ex-
periments at the Paradise Valley poul-
try ranch of DIR. II. M. Wegefortf
during two and one half years. The
blackhead disease is said to be prim-
arily of the liver and intestines and
causes the head of the turkey to be-
come dar k in color, from which SYM
tom it takes its common name.
Prevalence of the disease in some
localities has practically caused aban-
donment of attempts to raise turkeys
and the government reports state that
! a decrease of 100000 birds annually
in the country's production is due
largely to blackhead. The simple rem
edy of ipecac, it is believed, will do q
great deal to lessening the cost of the
holiday fowl.

White STUDENTS HEAR WHAT
RACE THINKS OF Them

feels that "a little learning has made
the white man mad"
"If the average American white
man could take a few weeks vacation
from his self-given guardianship of
culture and civilization, he would be
surprised to see how smoothly things
would run and how little the world
would miss him." the speaker re-
marked, with touch of sarcasm.
He directed attention to the white
mans deceit. The white man "vocif-
erously insists that the majesty of the
law must be upheld, and that law en-
forcement must apply to all citizens
alike. But in so far as we are con-
cerned this is deceit, and we know 1T.
What the white man means Is that all
these ideal conceptions apply to him
self and other white men.
"For fifty years." Mr.. Haynes con-
tinued, "three amendments to our basic
law dealing with human rights have
been flagrantly violated. More money
has been spent and more machinery
created in one year to enforce the
liquor amendment than has been spent
and created to enforce the 18th, 18th
and 18th amendments in fifty years"
AS to a solution of the problem the
club was told that the race is divided.
Some lean toward radical methods; !;
they would shoot, kill, burn, devastate.
Others believe in the efficacy of re-
ligion, education, patience. The aver
age race man, though, realizes that at
best education is merely a palliative,
and that to hit the heart of the prob
lem he must strike at the color ply
Ghosts of the white man, which is at
the bottom of all racial maladjust-
ments in this country. He realizes,
further, that this generation has come
TO n parting of the ways-it must as
sumo manhood, rights and justice as
Negroes or as American citizens. He
wants American citizenship, true, I'M
qualified and absolute. He is pre-
pared to sacrifice and fight for it.
Literally and figuratively, the race
is between the devil and the deep blue
sea. Marcus Garvey's idea u to cross
the sea there are others who say
stay here and fight the devil, live with
the devil, be devil. The American
race man realizes that there is much
room for improvement in the present
order of things; but for an ultimate,
permanent and correct solution OF the
problem he must get white or get out"

a r A MEETING of the officers
~ and members of the Second
Il Church on Friday evening,
April Sth, call was extended to Rev.
l.. n. Whitten to pastor this church.
The members of the Baptist Church
and the Christian citizens of Cheyenne
are fortunate to have secured the spir-
itual services of this true Christian
gentleman. Rev. Whitten was born in
1884 in Little Rock, Ark, educated in
the common school, accepted Christ
March 10, 1907, baptized March 18th,
called to ministry in May, 1908, or
dained in July, 1917. and has pastored
at La Junta and Akron, Colo, before
coming to Cheyenne.
| On Thursday evening, April Tth, Rev.
c. A. Miller of Denver preached doc
trinal sermon in which the principles
of the Baptist faith were clearly ex-
planned and instruction prayerfully
given. 1t was grand to see the young
preacher stand firm for his doctrine.
His theme, "If You Are a Baptist,
Prove 1t, Be of One Mind, One Faith,
One Baptism" The baptismal sermon
was preached Sunday morning by Rev.
|. n. Whitten. In the afternoon a num-
ber of candidates were baptised. On
April 7th, Rev. Moderator c. S. Stack
er granted Rev. E. W. Wright license
TO preach.
Rev. Miller departed for Denver,

THE SOUTH
FEARS THE
N. A. A. c. P.

MOT ONLY has W. ]. Simmons,
IN "imperial wizard" of the Ku
KluX Klan, referred to the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of CoIored People as the Klan's
chief opponent; there comes now from
the center of peonage in Georgia addi-
tional testimony to the fear of the Ma
tional Associations throwing light into
dark corners.
For, at the trial of John Williams,
who was accused of numbering Negro
poems on his farm in Jasper county,
Georgia. a special challenge was issued
to talesmen before they were accepted
as jurors. The reports of the trial
state that in the course of the exami-
nation of veniremen, counsel for VIII
liams sought particularly to deter
mine if any of the prospective jurors
were members of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, or if voluntary counsel
in the case received any part of their
pay from that source"
This is an encouraging sign, indica-
tive of the widespread knowledge or
the work the association is doing.
When white men in Georgia are afraid
that Justice will be administered to
one of their number because of the ac-
tivities of the Advancement Associa-
ton, it is proof positive that those ac-
tivities are having profound effect.
The National Association for the Ad-
yancement of Colored People is acquir-
ing the sort of reputation in the South
which the jewelers. Protective Associa-
ton used to enjoy in New York. For
thirty years no burglar dared to rob
store with the emblem of this associa-
ton in its window, for burglars knew
the Jewellers Protective Association
would pursue them for ten years If
necessary and at cost of thousands
of dollars, in order finally to bring
them to justice.
White oppressors of the Negro in
the South are beginning to beware in
this same way of the National Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Colored
People. With the support of all col
ored people this association can be
made as potent in frightening white
men into doing justice as the ku kluX
Klan used to be in frightening col
ored people into enduring injustice.

PRESIDENT HARDING RINGS
TRUE.
Comes Out Four-Square Against Evil
of Lynching.

When James Weldon Johnson, secre-
tary of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
left the office of President Harding
after a long ard satisfactory confer
ence two weeks ago, he expressed
great faith in the attitude of the pres
ent administration toward the Negro.
The Presidents strong, unequivocal ut
terances on the lynching evil in his
message to Congress Tuesday, gives
ample justification for that faith. a
new and brighter day is dawning for
the race. There can be no doubt about
it. Hopeful signs appear on the hori-
zon each day. The conviction of VIII
liams and his murderOus crowd In Gov
ington, Georgia, with the subsequent
expose of the horrors of the peonage
SYSTEM are not the least of the hope
full signs. The n. A. A. G. Z. is con-
stantIy on the job. 1t is imbued with
the virtue of eternal vigilance. Now
is the time to rally to its support to
give it strength. Let us pull together,
all for one and one for all.
