DO NOT MAKE GOOD MOTHERS
Neither Geese nor Duck Hens Like 70
Sit on Eogs-WeII to Mako
Use Of Incubator.

Neither geese nor duck hens make
very good mothers, and sometimes
ducks refuse to make nests or to sit
at all. For this reason 1t is well to
have an Enclosure for ducks, and to
keep them confined each morning until
after the eggs are laid. The eggs
should be incubated with chicken
hen or In incubators. The chicken
hens will give them much better care
than their natural mothers would

In its larger aspects forestry Is not
merely a land problem but an agricul-
tural problem, says Col. William b.
Greeley in the annual report of the
forest service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Not only should
lands best suited to forests be used
for forests but these forests should
be intensively managed, rs farms are
intensively managed.

JULIUS F. TAYLOR HAS MANFULLY STOOD BY MIR.
WILLIAMS IN HIS GREAT LEGAL BATTLE IN Be
HALF OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE FOR MORE THAN
THREE YEARS, ASSISTING TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE
FOR HIM TO SCORE THE GREATEST VICTORY
THAT HAS SO FAR BEEN SCORED BY ANY LAW
YER IN THE UNITED STATES
HON. JOHN A. RICHERT THE ABLE CHAIRMAN OF
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, AND HON. GUY GUERN-
SEY, MEMBER OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND
CHAIRMAN OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE, WHICH HAD
CHARGE OF THE RIOT CASES, HAVE AMPLY
PROVEN THEIR FRIENDSHIP FOR THE COLORED
RACE, AND THE COLORED PEOPLE OF THIS CITY

THEM FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO THIS COMING
SPRING.

we possibly could for more than
three years, in connection with his
race riot cases, we are able to greatly
rejoice with him in winning by far the
greatest legal victory that has SO far
been won BY any lawyer in the United
States.
On Wednesday, May rs, 1921, Mr.
Williams tried his first riot case be-
fore Judge Samuel c. Slough, sitting
in the Superior Court Of Cook County,
that Of Ada Dozier, widow, vs.. City
Of Chicago. The jury was composed
Of twelve white men, the city was
represented by Hon. Charles Pease,
assistant corporation counsel, and by
several other brainy legal lights and
they fought Mr.. Williams to dead
standstill. They did not hesitate to
resort to every sharp trick known to
the law in their desperate effort to
floor him or defeat him or knock
him out, but in the final end their la
bors were all in vain, for the jury re-
turned a verdict against the City Of
Chicago and in favor of Mrs. Ada
Dozier for twenty-three hundred dol
lars ($2,300). Then the leading col
ored lawyers loudly contended that
the city would move onto the higher
state courts and that by the time that
the Supreme Court of this state
grabbed Mr. Williams and his I'M
heard-of race riot case and ripped
him up one side and down the other,
that he would not have one leg to
stand on and that all of his other
race riot cases would fall fiat to the
ground. Such was not the case, how
ever, and that judgment against the
city became final.
On Tuesday morning, October rs,
1921, Mr.. Williams began to try his
second and third race riot cases be-
fore the Hon. Thomas G. Windes, the
eminent dean Of the Circuit Court of
Cook County-those were the cases Of
Joseph Lovings, who resided at 2O3O
South Dearborn street, and who
worked in white barber shop at 1904
West 18th street. He was we'll liked
by its owner and his patrons. On
his way home on his bicycle on the
evening Of July 10Th, he was set upon
by bowling, rnaddened mob, esti-
mated at almost 5000, and the mad
mob fred fifteen to twenty bullets
into his head and body. Then the
mob trampled upon his lifeless body
and defaced his face and skull by
beating It in. A number Of white wit
nesses-women and men-testifed as

City of Chicago to partly pay them
for the great losses which they had
sustained in the deaths of their dearly
beloved one. Many Of them did not
have one dollar to start suits in any
court and the money for that purpose
came forth out of the pockets of Mr..
Williams and out of the pockets Of
one or two of his close friends, often
stretching every point to raise enough
money to file the twenty-one death
cases and the personal injury cases,
money had to be advanced from time
to time to buy food, coal, medicine
for the sick children and to pay room
or house rent for those who had so
suddenly been deprived of their main
support by the deaths Of their hus-
bands and fathers.
Everything looked very dark and
gloomy for Mr.. Williams and his few
tried and true friends who had UNI
bounded faith in his legal ability to
do something in the Circuit or Supe-
rior courts of this country for those
poor unfortunate colored men, women
and children who were SO sorely in
dire need of helping hands.
All the leading colored lawyers and
many white ones, too, for that mat
ter, heartily laughed at Mr.. Williams.
Some claimed that he was light
headed, that he never did nor never
would know the least thing about
mob and lynch law as defined by the
statutes of Illinois, that he was sim
ply fooling the poor, ignorant colored
people out of their hard-earned
money and that the chances were ten
to one that he would never start any
mob and lynch law suits for them
and even if he did start the suits that
he would never be able to finally re-
cover one dollar in money in any of
the courts in Illinois.
Not one Of the newspapers pub
lished in the interest Of the colored
race in this city, outside Of The Broad
AK, would give Mr.. Williams the
slightest publicity through their col
umns, as to what he was attempting
to do for the everlasting benefit Of
his race, unless they received pay
ment for the same in advance; but
this newspaper stuck to him through
thick and thin, cheering him and urg-
ing him to continue to press forward
in his great struggle for the right
and as sure as the bright shining sun
rose in the extreme east and set in
the far west that he would meet with
success by and by, and now, after as.
sisting Mr. Williams every way that

Three years and over have rolled on
into eternity since the bloody "race
riots" held full sway in this city the
latter part Of July, 1910, or, to speak
more correctly-July n, 28, 29, 80, 81,
and August /. Even before that time
few minor clashes occurred between
the races during the middle and the
latter part of June of the same year.
It is not our intention at this time
to enter into long review as to the
recent final action Of the City Council
in ordering the Chairman of its FL
nance Committee, Hon. John A.
Richert, and Hon. James w. Breen,
First Assistant Corporation Counsel
Of Chicago, and Attorney Augustus
L. Williams, who has scored one Of
the greatest legal victories in the
United States, to get together and
agree on basis of settlement of all
the riot cases as represented by At
torney Williams, the leading fighting
or battling lawyer for right and JUS
tice in the United States.
Mr.. Williams, right here, must be
given the great credit for standing up
and fighting hard in behalf of the
survivors of the colored people who
lost their lives during the riots at
that time.
Lawyer Augustus L. Williams Highly
Praised by Coroner Hoffman
Coroner Peter M. Hoffman, in his
masterful report on the race riots,
which is worthy to be read by all the
citizens of Chicago, has this to say in
relation to Lawyer Augustus L. Viii

THE Peace and Protective Associa-
ton of Chicago and the Cook County

tions, were ably represented by Mr..

Without receiving one dollar in pay
and at the same time neglecting his
own business, Mr.. Williams attended
every session of the coroners jury,
looking after the interests of all the
colored people who appeared before
It from time to time, manfully fight
ing and contending for their rights

CHICAGO, March 3l,--Ameriean women love confections, cosmetics, movies, cigarettes and motor cars more than they do babies. if figures obtained here tonight at the Ameri- can Homes Bureau mean anything.
