tell them to do likewise? Shall continue in the face
of the fact that all realize needs of nstitu

On the third of June, last Saturday
evening at Pilgrim Baptist Church

the mostly prettily appointed cere-
monies ever witnessed in this city
took place when Miss Luceiia Elliot,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Ell
liot, AIS University Ave. and DR.. Earl
S. Weber son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S.

in the holy bonds of matrimony.
About 600 friends and relatives
were assembled to witness the cere-
mony which was performed by the
Pastor, Rev. L. w. Harris. The
church had been turned into a bower
of beauty and the bride with her
daintily garbed attendants made q
beautiful appearance.
Following the ceremony a recep-
tion was given at the home of the
bride to which $50 guests had been
hidden. A very costly and magnifi-
cient collection of presents were dis
played, showing the high esteem in
which the young couple were held by
their numerous friends.
The young couple left Monday
morning on motor trip to Lake Po-
kegama where they will spend their

RECOGNIZING MERIT

1t is interesting to note the success achieved
by two Colored schools in musical competition
system recently inaugurated by the Board of Edu-
cation in Kansas City. The object of the system
is to interest pupils in high class music and coun
teract the jazz craze.
When the Board of Education inaugurated
the system at the beginning of the past school
term, they appointed Miss Blanche Morrison as
the only Colored instructor among the several as
sociates of the general supervisor Miss Morrison
took charge Of the music at Yates and Wendell
Phillips school, both Colored, and when the COM
petition for honors came on May 18, the Yates
and Wendell Phillips schools led in the contest.
It is not surprising to note that the Colored
schools led in the musical contest because it has
long been an outstanding fact that Negroes are
adapt in music, but the surprise comes when they
were given credit by the white daiies on the mer-
it's Of their work even though they competed be-
tween themselves, the white schools having COM
peted between themselves.

CARING FOR SPRING CALVES
Young Animals Should Be CHARTERED
in Clean Shed or Lot and
Given Proper Feed.

Dairy calves should be kept in
clean shed or lot and fed regularly,
according to A. c. Baer, professor of
dairy husbandry at Oklahoma A. and
NJ. college. He suggests the following
feeding schedule:
First week-Feed three times n day
Of mothers milk.
Second week-Yeed three times
day of whole milk.
Third week-Feed three times day
but substitute one-third skim milk.
Fourth week-Feed two or three
times a day; one-half skim milk. Reg
ulate the amount of milk to the size
and vigor of the calf
"Aftc- the fourth or fifth week all
skim milk can be fed and a little
grain, ground oats, corn, barley, and a
little BRAN" Baer says. Let them eat
some good hay, as much as they can
eat.
"Calves can be kept on pasture, but
should receive some grain and hay in
addition. To prevent scours, all
buckets and cans must be kept clean.
The shed or lot should also be cleaned
regularly"

HAD HIGH SENSE OF HONOR
Mark Twain PunctiIious to a Degree,
in Order to Satisfy His "Presby.
tcrian Conscience"

Mark Twain, it is. we'll known, la
bored in his older years to repay the
debts incurred by his publisher; but
probably great many persons, basing
their opinions on Twain's own jests,
supposed him to be rather happy-go-
lucky in smaller affairs. But he was
not, shows Gamaliel Bradford in his
sketch of Twain in american Por-
traits"
The most obvious instance of his
rectitude, says Mr.. Bradford, are in
regard to money. In spite of his
dreams and speculative vagaries, lie
was pnnctiliously scrupulous in
financial relations. his strictness cul-
minating in the vast effort of pa
tience and self-denial necessary to pay
off the debt of honor which fell upon
him in his later years. But the nice
ness Of his conscience was not limited
to broad obligations of this kind.
"Mine was trained Presbyterian
conscience" Twain says, land knew
but the one duty-tO hunt and harry
its slave upon all preteXts and all
occasions. l don't wish even to seem
to do anything which can invite sus-
picion," he said, as to matter so
trivial as taking advantage in game.

prepared by the United States Department

Figures collected from various cow
testing associations throughout the
country and compiled by the United
States Department of Agriculture tend
to confirm the previous conclusions Of
the department that within the breeds,
so far as they were represented by
these animals, which We're mostly
grades, the large cows are the biggest
producers of dairy products and are
also the most profitable. The evidence
seems to point to the fact that in the
Individual farmers herd it will be
found that on the average the larger
cows are more profitable than the
smaller ones, although there are some
indications that this may not hold true
in the case of herds of native cattle
containing much beef blood.
The cows whose records have been
used by the department have been
sorted out so that only mature animals
were used for these comparisons, thus
eliminating any differences that might
have been caused by the immaturity
of some cows.
In one group for which figures have
been prepared there were 100 cows
classified as small, POI as medium, and
100 as large. The small cows aver
aged 243 pounds of butterfat a year
and made an income over the cost of
feed OF S17.39. Those of medium size
made 2S9 pounds of butterfat and an
incomd over feed cost of SSS.91. The
large cows produced 345 pounds of
