As Madeline rode along she made
good use Of her eyes. The soil was
sandy and porous. and she understood
why the rain and water from the few
springs disappeared so quickly. What
surprised her was the fact that,
though she and Florence had seemed
to be riding quite awhile, they had
apparently not drawn any closer to
the roundup. The slope Of the valley
was noticeable after some miles had
been traversed.

And then she gave up trying to

golden mass.
"Mr Stillwell," she began, and
paused, strangely aware Of hurried
note, a deeper ring in her voice. "Mr.
Stillwell, want to buy your ranch

DOUGLASS COMMUNITY CENTER
(Southern Norkman)

In February of 1920 there was in
corporated in Toledo, Ohio, the
Frederick Douglas Recreation Center
whose purpose was '"to establish a
recreation center for colored boys
and young men, and to provide a
place for the moral, mental, and
physical development of colored
youth"
At the outset some $1,000 was rails
ed among the colored citizens to ini-
tate the work of the Center. Toledo's
philanthropies are combined in the
Toledo Community Chest, which raises
funds in a central drive once each
year and which aims to pay the actual
running expenses of the thirty-six
agencies that it recognizes. In April
1920 the Chest investigated the Fred
erick Douglass Recreation Center and
allotted $4,000 for its years work.
In 1921 the Center received $4,000 as
it's share. In 1922, convinced that
the organization was putting over a
worthwhile program, the officials of
the Chest raised the allotment to
$1,000.
The Frederick Douglas Commu-
nitv Center in it's three years of ac-
tual work has accomplished some
thing. It has given the boys and
girls a place for supervised play and
organized work with groups and in
diyiduals; and it has developed a
community consciousness among men
and women of color. This institution
is seeking to pave the way for new
type of social work among colored
groups. Already the Center has out
grown it's present quarters and is
planning to ask the citizens Of Toledo
in the near future to give it the
means with which, to build fully
equipped community center building,

was like all mobs. 1t was an unreas-
oning, Unsuitable monster demanding
blood. -.--@
Had the lynching been for an &C.
tual and not an attempted crime, and
had not the representative of law and
reason been the father of the injured
girl, the case against mob psychology
would not have been so clear. Under
the circumstances there is room for
believing that the mob completed its
work because of an ungovernable de-
sire to whet it's appetites.
Mob psychology is the human being
at his worst. The Columbia citizens
have probably led fairly exemplary
lives, or we would have heard of them
before. The attempted crime aroused
them to high pitch of passion. Con-
gregation into group of several
thousand lifted this passion into in
sanity. At this stage the individual
is submerged in the herd. Moral re-
sponsibility ceases. Screened by the
mass, his lusts and passions attain
abnormal development. The mob is a
reversion to the cowardice and feroci-
ty of the wolf pack.
Mob psychology has attained unu-
sual development in America. 1t has
become a positive menace. National
security demands that we begin to ap-
ply to it methods of scientific investi-
cation and treatment to the extent
that we would apply them to pneu-
nonia. sninal meningitis or cancer.

Madeline led the horse to and fro,-
and was delighted with his gentleness.
She discovered that he did not need
to be led. He came at her call, fol.
lowed her like a pet dog, rubbed his
black muzzIe against her. Sometimes,
at the turns In their walk, he lifted
his head and with ears forward looked
up the trail by which he had come,
and beyond the foothills. He was
looking over the range. Someone was
calling to him, perhaps, from beyond
the mountains. Madeline liked him
the better for that memory, and pitied
the hayward cowboy who had parted
with his only possession for very
love Of It.
At .supper-time Madeline was unusu-
ally thoughtful. Later, when they as
sembled on the porch to watch the
sunset, Stillwell's humorous CON-
plainings inspired the inception of an
idea which flashed up in her mind
swift as lightning. And then by lis
tening sympathetically she encouraged
him to recite the troubles of a poor
cattleman. They were many and long

HIS EFFORT APPRECIATED.

Elsewhere We have mentioned the
admirable address delivered by Rev.
A. f. Kroneman on the date Of the fun
eral of the late President Harding.
Our praise of the effort of that gen.
tleman on that occasion may be set
down by those who are not acquaint-
ed with the man, and WAC had not the
privilege Of hearing him speak, to
respect, and esteem, and love for a
fellow citizen that might lead US to
over estimate his effort. But in giving
Mr.. Kroneman a full measure of cred
It for his able address We are but
echoing the opinion expressed by ev-
cry one within sound of his voice, and
not home people alone. There was a
gentleman present from one OF the
larger cities of the state. He was so
impressed with the address that he
enquired who the speaker was, declar-
ed he was too big man for so small
town, and expressed his conviction
that a better Grafton on the same &C.
casion was not heard anywhere in the
country. That was certainly high
praise from a stranger, but no more
than the speaker deserved.

STORAGE FOR VEGETABLES.

One of the chief items In the family
budget Is the cost of food. II much
food is produced at home this item
Will be smaller. Living costs may be
lessened and the table improved
where there are fresh vegetables from
the garden available.
The mild climte of Washington
gives naturally long fresh garden
season, but even here good vegetable
storage will aid greatly to a healthy
and appetizing variety for the table.
Good vegetable storage can be
cneaply provided and every farm
should have such storage. Vegetables
differ much in their storage require
ments and must be treated according
ly.
Potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips
and satisfy should be stored in cool,
well ventilated place. A cool, well
ventilated cellar is good place for a
moderate supply. The roots will with
STAND considerable frost, especially
the parnips and turnips, which may,
in the milder sections be dug as need
ed. A pit out of doors, or an outdoor
cellar provides good protection to the
root crops.
Cabbage can be pulled and set close
together and then covered over with
earth. A drain siDuld be dug to carry
off surplus water.
Celery keeps well stacked close to-
gether in trench and lightly covered
with straw or corn stalks.
Pumpkins and squash keep best in
"A dry cool room which is protected
from frost. They can often be stored
in the attic or on shelves in an unused
room up stairs.
Onions should be thoroughly dried
before storing and will keep we'll In
crates or ventilated boxes or barrels
in dry room free from frost. They
keep well in the attic.-Extension
