Shuttle Along -s
Closes Season

(By the Associated Negro Press)
New York, July 13.-Wilfred r.
Balm of the staff of the Atlantic City,
N. j., Daily Times-Gazette and spe-
ciai correspondent for many out-of-
the-city papers, reports that the orig
inal Shuttle Along" company closed
its phenomenal three years continu-
Gus season at the Apollo theater in
that city on June %.
Dissatisfaction between the four
principals has been growing for some
time. A number of causes had been
assigned, but Sissle and Blake in an
interview with Mr.. Balm, stated that
it grew out of Miller and Lyles' de-
sire to participate in the royalties on
the song numbers made famous by
the show. 1t is reported that the lat
ter have been engaged for a George
White production. So strained were
the relations between the people that
when "Auld Lang Syne" was sung al
tie final curtain some members Of the
company walked off the stage.
Sissle and Blake have opened a
Plantation Days" Revue at the La
Marne cafe on the Boardwalk in con-
junction with Smith and his band.
The opening performance took FIVE
encores. Mildred Smallwood, John
ME Hudgins and a number of the
former Shuttle" people are in the
cast. Among those are Lottie Gee,
Bob Davis and the Four Harmony
Kings. Mr.. Sissles grandmother was
a guest at the opening.

MILL CITY LODGE
!. B. POE. Wis
AMONG LEADERS
Minneapolis Elks Recognized as
One of Foremost Orders of
the Northwest.

Ames Lodge No. los, /. b. p. o.
e. W., was founded in 1906 by a
group of highly progressive men,
some of whom are yet numbered
among the antlered fold. From its
inception, Ames lodge has had a
steady growth, until the peak of it's
membership was reached a few years
ago when the membership numbered
approximately FIVE hundred. This
membership was reached during the
period of depression which swept over
the nation, resulting in many of our
people being unemployed. The finan-
cial membership later numbered
about three hundred members. But
under the capable and efficient admin
istration and with the gradual return
of normalcy, great strides are being
made to bridge the gap in member
ship.
Good Time Idea Wrong.
Elkdom has been branded by some
as an order for the good time fel-
lows. Demonstrative methods have
fully proven the fallacy of such con-
ceptions. Consistency in proving its
worth and in exelhplifying the great
principles on which Elkdom is found
ed, Ames lodge has won much praise
and is held as one of the foremost
lodges of this community. The Or
der can truly boast, without egotism,
of having among its members some of
the most prominent men OF our busi-
ness. professional and social world.
1t has, through the fine type of men
who constitute the membership, in
oculated into its ranks a large num-
Der of the younger and progressive
men of the Mill City. When one
views the beautiful home at Hyland
and Lyndale avenue north, the prop
erty of Ames Lodge No. 106, /. B.
p. o. e. W., the thought Of the most
progressive lodge of the Northwest is
ever present.
Contributes to Needy.
No Negro fraternal organization in
the Northwest can be rated as highly
as Ames Lodge No. log in matters
Of philanthropy. In the year of 1929
they gave to the needy and persons
in financial distress several hundred
dollars besides looking after its own
members with their regular sick and
death benefits. One of the most
commendabIe acts, and 1t is a feature
of Elkdom, Is the annual Xmas ex-
ercises for the children. Again the
superior "big brother" idea is pre-
vailent by not restricting the guests
to children Of Elks only. ALI chill
dren, regardless, are equal on this
great event to share In the merri-
ment provided by the hosts. Last
Xmas several hundred Minneapolis
kiddies were honorary guests of

MEMS EPISCOPAL
PICNIC HELD At
PARKER'S LAKE
st. Phillips and st. Thomas
Churches of Twin Cities in
Grand Outing.
ANNUAL OCCASION is
, TRADITIONALLY GOOD
Hundreds Enjoy Variety of En-
tertainment That the Mems
Club Offered.

Episcopal picnic OF st. Philips
church. st. Paul, and st. Thomas
church, Minneapolis, was held at
Parkers Lake Thursday, July IL. The
annual Episcopal picnic is always
awaited with great expectancy be-
cause it has for years been the pre-
mier outing of the season. This
years picnic was true to traditions
when hundreds gathered at Parkers
Lake to celebrate the annual occa-
sion. Everyone who did not go to
the picnic must have had lonely
time in the city, as seemingly the
population of both Minneapolis and
St. Paul were there.
Nothing Spared.
Mr.. John LaCoste, st. Paul chair
man. and Dr.. r. s. Brown. Minneap-
oils chairman, together with their
respective committees, worked zeal
ously In making this picnic a great
success. Three trains were necessary
to care for those who travelled by rail
over the Luce Electric line. The first
train, leaving at $3.50 A. NJ, carried
its expected quota. The second train.
the picnic special, leaving at $3.50,
carried the largest body Of the day.
The final train at 1880 brought a
large body of the picnickers to Park
ers Lake. One would imagine that
the three trains carried practically all
those on the ground, but after view
ing the many automobiles the real
ization that an equally large crowd
motored out is apparent.
Variety of Entertainment.
After luncheon there was variety
of amusements to suit the various
whims of all present. Some prefer
red to go bathing. others canoeing, a
few were among the anglers, but the
majority, especially the younger peo-
ple, responded to the strains OF
Stevens Orchestra. The first strains
of music announced the beginning OF
the dance program. The spacious
pavilion was soon filled comfortably
with the patrons of the smooth floor,
one steps, two steps, wales and
schottisches held sway until dinner
time. After the last arrivals were
dined the music again started. Many
found pleasure in the highly diversi-
fed occasion and $3.50 found the
roads back home prepared for tourist
and the train crowded with tired but
gay picnickers, each remembering the
pleasant outing and wishing the next
week would bring another Mems
Episcopal Picnic.

Brown County Oil
Boom Possibility
WELL DRILLING RIG ON FARM
NEAR NEW ULM BLOWN IN
AIR RECENTLY.

Considerable space has been given
by the press relative to the promotion
of gold and nickel mines in southern
Minnesota of late, but heretofore the
rays of the spotlight have not been
directed to Brown county to any great
extent. Now comes the information
son, residing within a few miles of
New Ulm, were drilling well, when
much to their surprise the apparatus
was blown from the hole in the
ground. They had drilled some thir-
ty-five feet, when this occurred. Ma
tural gas is said to be the cause. The
drill was replaced and after drilling
about five feet further water was
struck. This tasted oily and was
black in color, it is said.
The owner of the farm, when in
New Ulm, the fore part of the week,
stated there were a number of seep-
ages of oil upon his farm, as well as
upon several others in that vicinity.
He said that during the past sever
al years he had interested himself in
the condition of his vicinity, which
would indicate that oil was to be
found.
While in New Ulm the owner of
the farm where the well was being
drilled, stated it was his intention to
arrange to drill for oil as soon as pos
sible.
Several geologists have been COM
municated with and one will be secur-
ed to investigate the matter in the
near future.
The owner of the land stated it was
not his desire to form a stock COM
pany, as he is man of means and
will defray all expenses of drilling
for oil.
The matter is being kept quiet and
will not be made public, until further
evelopments.-Springfeld Advance.

Alex Miller Here
Next Monday
IOWA EDITOR TO GIVE SNAPPY
TALK ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF MAIN STREET"

The Third number of the lecture
course will be given at the Armory
next Monday evening when Alex
Miller gives his lecture on The Other
Side of Main Street, a talk on the
good things to be found in small COM
munities and also an answer to Sim
clair Lewis travesty on life in small
town. Mr.. Miller, who is the editor
of the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Republican,
is well fitted to give such talk as he
has lived for the past twenty-five
years in town of less than five thou
sand population, has edited paper for
the benefit of his community and has
of this experience greatly increasing
his knowledge of small town folk, and
small town possibilities. Needless to
say Mr.. Miller is heartily in sympathy
with small town life and he has the
happy faculty of making his listeners
grasp this same feeling.
Mr.. Miller is not only an interesting
and Informative speaker but he is
humorous as well and his talk is as
entertaining as one could wish it to be.
The Oskaloosa Herald says: "It was
rapid fire talk and he kept the audi
ence in an uproar of laughter from
start to finish. 1t is utterly useless to
try to tell about it, as it has to be
heard to be appreciated. 1t pleased
the crowd alright!"<
The Clarinda News, in speaking of
Mr.. Miller said: "He didn't stick to
any point until it became stale, but
rambled through Main Street like a
jitney. His points were cleverly made
and his humor was infectious He
uses no orators tricks to put his talk
over. but humanity, easily and effec-
lively makes you agree with his logic
and you ramble with him for an hour
and half of genuine pleasure. His
address is one of the best the writer
has ever heard. 1t was an inspiration
too, and more people should have
heard it. The humor of this talk did
not lessen the high standard of the
talk as whole nor the effectiveness
of his plea for Americanism, Churches,
Schools, Newspapers and Character in
the Rising Generation"

Prospects for
the Coming Year
(Secretary Wallacel

Twelve months ago most of the
six million farmers of the United
States were starting on the long hard
climb of the valley of economic de-
preston. They have not yet attain
ed the heights which are bathed in
the grateful sunshine of prosperity.
Some, indeed, have fallen by the way.
Others are still in the valley. Never
theless, as we stop bit and look
backward we can see that very con-
siderable ground has been gained by
the great majority, and we can enter
the New Year with renewed hope
and with that courage which comes
from the realization that we are real
ly making progress.
A year ago, when speaking of the
prospects for farming in 1922, said
that while there was no reason to ex-
pect boom times for the farmer in
the near future, there was promise of
better times, both for the farmer and
for those whose business is larely
dependent upon him. The year has
brought fulfillment Of that promise.
Speaking generally, times are bet
ter, much better, than year ago,
both for agriculture and for industry.
Crops have been good, on the
whole. Prices of the major crops are
mostly considerably higher. While
there has been q corresponding ad-
vance in the prices of the things the
farmer must buy, the total sum which
farmers will receive for the crops
this year is greater by a billion and
half dollars more than that which
they received for the crops Of last
year. This will certainly mean bet
ter times ON the farm, and farm folks
will be able to ease up little on the
grinding economy they were forced to
practice the preceding year.
The labor costs Of producing the
crops Of 1922 was still further re-
duced. There were some substantial
reductions in freight rates. Much
heIuful leRislation has been enacted
and more will be this winter. In
terest rates arr lower and the credit
