Vigilar1tes Halt
If Threats Fail
(By the Associated Negro Press)

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Pittsburg, Oct. 19.-Every availa-
BILE deputy sheriff and county detec-
tive has been ordered to Stowe
Township to protect the lives and
properties of the Negroes who refus-
ed to heed the orders of the self
constituted vigilance committee in
structing all Southern Negroes to
leave the neighborhood Immediately.
The colored residents in the main
have refused to obey the orders of
the self-constituted vigilance commit
tee, although 200 or 800 left. Those
who remained sought legal aid and
found that the city and county au-
thorities were disposed to aid them.
The threats of violence made by
the vigilantee were prompted by the
killing of Thomas Rowland, who, 1t
is said, had been playing craps with
some of the Negro workmen and an
attempt at assault on his grand
daughter. The police will continue
in charge of the district until all
trouble is over.

FREEZE OUT INSECT PESTS
Method 10 More Economical Than Gas,
Says an Expert on the
Subject

The usual procedure, when -four
mills become infested with the Mediter-
ranean moth, the larvae Of which get
into the flour, is to close the mill tight
ly and "gas" the insects. Last winter
a mill at Williston, N. D., however, re-
ouested the local weather bureau Office
to notify the company whenever a tenn
perature Of 20 degrees or lower for at
least several hours could be antici-
pated. AS soon as weather sufficiently
cold was forecast, the company put out
all fires and opened doors and win
dows. That night the temperature
reached 80 degrees Fahrenheit and did
not 20 above II degrees Fahrenheit the
next day. According to the report OF
the company to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, through the
weather bureau. all moths and most OF
the eggs were frozen, and the process
will not have to be repeated for at
least two years. Many dollars worth
of chemical insecticides which would
have been necessary for "gassing
were saved.

The Northwest is becoming factor
not only in summer tourist traffic,
but also in autumn and winter travel.
More and more people are choos-
ing the northern route to the Pacific
coast as their way to California" I"
says A. B. Smith, passenger traffic
manager of the Northern Pacific
railway. "A marked increase in this
travel has already occurred over our
line" If folks go to California now
via the Northwest they see It at the
time of its greatest scenic beauty,
when autumn coloring and brisk,
mild weather make travel delight.
"Californians are now urging In
their advertising that all visitors to
their state should be sure to enter 1t
at one end and leave at the other.
This has helped to influence travel
ers to choose the Pacific Northwest
route as their way of approach; the
wonderful fall climate of the North
western States and the startling
beauty of autumn scenery in Mime
sofa, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon has added to
this movement of travel"
A new booklet, inviting people to
go to California by way Of the Pa
cific, has just been issued by the
Northern Pacific railway. illustrated
with beautiful scenes from regions
along the line of the N. p. It empha-
sizes the fact that 1t costs only few
dollars more to see the North Pacific
coast country on the way to Califor-
MIA.

Race Cops Are
Efficient Men
(By the Associated Negro Press)

(By the Associated Negro Press)
st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 19.-Any
doubt that might have existed as to
the efficiency of colored police has
long since been dissipated in this
city by the excellent record of those
who have been put on the force the
last two years. The colored districts
where they have been used have had
the very best protection against
crime it is possible for any force to
give. Colored citizens respect uni
formed men of their own and give
them cooperation which has been
productive of the very best results.
II there was ever any doubt as to the
wisdom of employing uniformed Ne
gro police-and there used to exist
some in high police circles-it has
given place to commentator of their
work. More could be used with
much profit to the city.

Confirmed Bachelor shad.

The shad in the Pennington river In
Connecticut are all bachelors, In the
opinion of the fish and game commits
sion of that state. Effort has been
made for some time to obtain shad
eggs for experimental purposes, and
the constant report from one of the
best fishing grounds was that only buck
shad were obtainable. Then the super
intendent Of fisheries decided to do
some fishing himself. He had a force
of men spread nets and when they
were drawn in, all the shad were
bucks. Once more the net was spread
and drawn in, this time with but little
more success, one female, or roe shad,
being caught.

Once More Extended.

1t Is certain that the limits Of Lake
Erie and Lake Michigan were once
more extended than now. 1t Is reason
ably probable, say students Of the
subject, that some of the territory now
drained by the wabash and Illinois
rivers was once covered by the waters
of Lake Michigan. The cisco of Lake
Tippecanoe, Lake Geneva, and the
lakes Of the Oconomowoc chain Is
evidently modified descendant Of the
so-called lake herring. Its origin most
likely dates from the time when these
small deep lakes Of Indiana and Wis
consin were connected with Lake Mich
igan. Several of the larger fishes,
properly characteristic Of the Great
Lakes region, are occasionally taken
In the Ohio river.

A Protest

To the Committee in Charge of the
River Falls Poultry and Grain Show;
AS an exhibitor at, and a booster
for your annual show, | wish to ques-
ton the fairness of the classification
and resulting awarding of premiums
at the late show.
Note that in the several breeds, one
variety was entered separately, and
s'All other varieties" of that same
breed entered in competition with
each other. Is that fair to a breeder
of distinctive varieties? Even though
he may have a fine showing of birds,
he may be forced to compete with a
variety which is much easier to breed
true to type or markings and so lose
to an exhibitor showing a distinctly
different breed of chickens. Will not
that tend to discourage such an exhib
itor? A specific instance of this in
justice Tin my opinion) is the fact
that one of the exhibitors, namely Mr..
Weiss, having the third largest, and
one of the best exhibits at the show,
on account of this mixed competition,
was forced to be content with only
one blue ribbon, whereas some other
breeders showing lonely pair of
some other breed, with no competi-
ton could win more, even though his
birds might be far inferior in their
class to those of the former
If such grouping of varieties is for
the purpose of economy in awarding
cash premiums, am sure the breed
ers would willingly waive their rights
to those, in the interest of more just
distribution of the blue and red.
This is not registered as a personal
"kick" las the fact that my birds
were forced to compete with other
varieties as well as their own posi-
bly, added to, rather than detracted
from, the honors awarded them) but
as suggestion as to an improvement
in the management of the show and
justice to breeders of the various var
ieties.
If my criticism is unjust, it is not
Intentionally so, as / am very much
interested in the annual show.
Yours for a bigger and better one
in 1924,
Leroy Sweet.
