OUR GRADUATES.

The Colorado Statesman is more
than gratified at the large number of
boys and girls of the race graduating
from the various schools in and around
Denver this spring. 1t Is highly
hopeful and encouraging sign and ma

people. 1t was n proud moment for
every Denver Negro when at the grad

week fourteen of our youths received
diplomas. 1t was also announced that
Miss Velma Parsons, talented daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Parsons, had
won n scholarship prize for Denver
University. Perhaps one of the proud
est mothers in Denver today should be
Mrs. Nettie Washington, whose many
labors and sacrifices were handsomely
rewarded by the graduation of her two
daughters, Miss Georgia from Howard

Denver High school,

FISH IS NOT POPULAR FOOD
With the Wonderful Supply at Their Command, People of the United
 States Eat Little.

Americans have been noted for the lavish and often reckless man. her in which they have used the na- tlonal resources but, strangely, the vast resources of our seas and lakes have not been used as the other na- tions of the world use theirs. The people of the United Kingdom eat about sixty-five pounds of fish each, each year; Sweden, 52 pounds; Nor way, A pounds; Canada, 30 pounds, and the United States, 16 pounds. Our comparatively insignificant con- sumption is due to sluggish demand and not to scarcity of fish. The seas adjacent to our shores are vast res ervoirs of food produced without eff fort on the part of man, and our Great Lakes hold unsurpassed stores of fresh-water fishes. We have at our command a greater variety of fine food fishes and shellfshes than any other country, but we do not use them as we must eventually, for in the future we must draw an ever increasing supply of our food from the waters as the land becomes less able to supply the needs of the in- creasing population.

Beer was not so plentiful in Ger many during 1920 as before the war, not by half, and coffee was used to only one-third of the amount consumed in 1913, says the Nations Business. The pre-war number of cigars was cut in two, and only cigarettes showed a figure higher than in 1913. Altogether, however, Germany in 1920 spent 23,oo0,00o,- 900 of her depreciated marks for beer, wine, coffee, tea and tobacco.

TO MAKE CHANGES z
 AT CONVICT FARM
Minor Alterations Planned As Result of Recent In-
 vestigation

At the request of other members of the Arkansas Penitentiary Commission in the monthly meeting yester- day, Mrs. Laura Conner of Augusta, the only woman member of the organization, submitted a list of sugges- tions for the betterment of living conditions compiled on the report of her recent inves- tigation.
 By consent of the com mission, Mrs. Conner, with the Rev. w. B. Hogg, recently made an investigation of the penitentiary system and their report was filed with the com mission yesterday.
 The principal suggestions were leniency in corporal pun ishment and non-use of the strap in light offenses, better cooking at one of the camps, better bathing facilities at ali camps, elimination of vermin at one camp, better religious instruction at one of the farms, supplying all convicts with Bibles and the planting of orchards for the use of con- victs at the farms.
 In discussing the present system of punishment by lash ing with a strap, Mrs. Conner said that she considered the abolishment of the strap at present impracticable, but that the punishments should be made lighter. Mrs. Con- her said she did not hope to have all improvements made at once as some of them must wait on finances, but that the commission will establish those which are needed at once, and that others will be considered further at the next monthly commission meeting. The report commended high ly some of the wardens for their work and no charges were made against any war den.
 The board spent the entire day in discussion of the sug- gestions and in the consider ation of bills, etc., and post poned the matter of paroles

In view OF the prospect for light

seem to be good policy to sow a

cotton producers have gained by
the increased value OF their carry

buy cotton at the new quotations
and advance the price OF goods
accordingly.
Retail merchants are vigorously
opposing advances in all textiles and
insisting that lower prices are neces-
sary to create a good volume OF
trade. The situation is unsettled,
with opinion spreading that costs
must be reduced both in the manu-
facture OF cloth and in the garment
trades.
In many lines there is a stir OF
increased activity, attributable TO
fall trade. Crop moving is not,
however, affording the normal stim-
ulus, owing in part TO the low prices
OF farm products and in part to the
fact that the proceeds are going
largely TO pay old debts. However,
there is a more cheerful feeling as
debts are paid or reduced. There
is not enough business TO go around,
which makes competition sharp,
with profits at the minimum.
The wheat crop of the United
States and Canada stands at latest
estimates about the same as a year
ago, and the worlds crop is about
the same as for last year. About
lbs million bushels we're exported
(either as whole grain or four) be-
tween July ! and October /.
1t has been recognized in we'll
informed quarters throughout the
last two months that the price of
wheat between now and the next
harvest depends largely upon the
crops in Argentina and Australia,
two countries which have their
harvests in our winter season.
Neither of these countries ships
wheat TO the United States, but
their surplus competes with ours
IN Europe and the price OF the sur
plus makes the prices everywhere.
