An enthusiastic group which had
gathered about while the building was
being inspected by Mr.. Ames, Presi-

collection at once to have a big sign
painted across the side of the building

This land is gently rolling in character,
the higher portions are well adapted to corn,
peanuts, sweet potatoes. sorghum, and beans
and the lower lands are richly productive Of
sugar cane, cotton, and other crops.
Louisiana has the only cheap good land
in the States to-day. This land is far-re-
moved from the swamps which have given
louisiana bad name. The swamps them
selves have been drained and made vastly
productive for sugar plantations. But this
land we offer is in the highlands Of Western
Louisiana -healthful and high.
Live stock do well on the hills, and the ma
tural grasses and forage provide abundant
feed most of the year.

SIR |NE HALLOWE' 'EN PARTY TO BE GIVEN
 ON SAT URDAY NIGHT

The best time for Phoenix kid dies that has ever been planned!
 This is the slogan under which the Shrine Patrol is planning its big Halloween party dance at the Shrine auditorium Saturday evening"
 Resolved upon giving the people of Phoenix one of the finest entertain ments of the season, the Shrine Pa trol has prepared a special offering for that night, an offering in which all the kiddies of the city and their grown folks are asked to participate.
 For the older people there is to be a dance and entertainment in which all the talent of the Shrine is to be displayed. From the decorations of the auditorium to the condition of the floor nothing is to be left un- prepared by this organization. All throughout the dance the mucic for which is to be played by the best orchestra in the city, there are to be entertainment numbers which will present the best talent of the Shrine while the children are to be taken care of in a particular manner.
 In the dining room of the audito- rum there is to be a psecial pro gram for the children. Under the direction of Mrs. George Young and other women assisting her the chill dren are to have a real Halloween party in which all the sprites, gob- lins and fairies of this holiday are to appear and in which every effort is to be made to give the children the finest party which they have ever attended. The children are asked to be maSked-a requirement which is made only to make the entertainment real party for them.
 The Shrine is arranging this dance and party without regard to expense the only requisite beink that it it shall be successful. The auditorium is to be decorated especially for the occasion: the music is to be the best afforded by the city, and the floor is to be in the best of condition. These facts. in addition to the spe- cial entertainment for the children, have already sold hundreds of tick cts, and indications are that the party-dan is to be unquestionably the finest event of the year.

tions mus te sent to San Francisco but by advancing these amounts un- der the guarantee of the vocational board, the Red Cross is enabled to keep men from starving or sleeping in the jail until money arrives. This of course. is only a temporary drain on our treasury as the vocational board sees that the men endorse over their checks until their indebtedness to us is cancelled; but again, we seem to be the only agency in a po- sition to afford the necessary relief.
 "Our other loans. to the men await ing or hoping for compensation, are of course much more uncertain. If the claim is allowed, we stand more than a fair chance of being repaid; of not. it is necessary usually to transfer this account to the column of grants This universal unem- ployment problem complicates our labors and diminishes our assets.
 From month to month, we have hoped and expected that the work of the service section would lessen; but as the winter approaches more disabled men are arriving ard the demands from the men already here are heavier.

the treatment of the negro" Sena- tor Watson said. ''As the president is a native Of Ohio he cannot pos- sibIy understand our situation in the south where the population is almost equally white and black.
 There is no such thing as eco homie discrimination against the blacks in the south They get equal treatment from our merchants and our bankers They have made no complaint of racial discrimination in econmic matters.
 Tt is therefore pity that a north ern man holding the highest office, should go down into the south and plant there fatal germs in the minds of the black race.
 Those germs will sprout into the events which will not be beneficial to either raco.
 Does the governor of Alabama who endorsed the presidents lamentabIe speech think Alabama should have a negro governor instead of white man? Would he like to see the su- preme court of Alabama filled with negro judges? Would he like to see negro bosses placed over the white boys and white girls?
 t'WouId President Harding be glad if his successor were to be a black man? Would the president like to see his cabinet filled with negroes?
 We white people of the south con- slider ourselves the legatees, the guar dians and defenders of civilization. We are not goirg to permit any so- cial or political equality of the kind the president advocates because we know it would mean destruction of the civilization which our ancestors handed down to us."
