l wish to say to the readers of the
Tribune that believe in patronizing
and backing up home industry. l
have been a subscriber to the Tribune
the past three years and have always
found it to produce only the very
cleanest news, and am an interested
reader of same. 1 think it should be
the duty of every colored citizen to
feel it his or her duty to support the
cause by using their influence to-
ward getting new subscribers for this
paper. Let the motto be Get togeth-
er and stay together" and we'll know
each other through the columns OF

A WORD TO PARENTS

The Tribune cannot emphasize too
strongly the necessity of parents Wis
iting the schools attended by their
children, becoming acquainted with
their childrens teachers and cooper
ating with them in every way possible.
There is a crying need for this. More
warning to parents, and that is this:
Don't be so quick to take your child's
word about being imposed upon by
his or her teacher. Get the facts first.
Consult the teacher. Doubtless, since
teachers are human there will be
cases were partiality may be shown
and even injustice, but these will be
the exception rather than the rule.
Children who are studious and be-
have themselves generally get along
we'll wherever they are. If your chill
dren are to receive the best results
from the excellent educational ad-
yantages offered by this city and
state, then there must be cooperation
of the home with the school. Unruly
children in school are unruly at home.
School training cannot take the place
of proper home training. One must
supplement the other. A solemn duty
and responsibility rests upon parents
who are too ready to shift this re-
sponsibility upn the school

~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, July 11.-Dissen-
tion in political ranks which may
affect the outcome of the July Is
United States senatorial election in
Minnesota, is causing concern among
various party leaders. One of the
latest breaks" is the announcement
of Arthur Lesuer, one of the organ
izers Of the Non-Partisan League and
for many years a worker in labor
organizations. that he opposes the
laborite.
Lesuer criticised Mr.. johnson for
voting, while a member OF the state
legislature. unfavorably. according
to Lesuer. on several labor questions.
Lesuer is a stockholder in the Equity
Cooperative Exchange, whose former
president, J. NJ. Anderson. has at
tackled Johnson's former connection
with the Equity. Anderson Is sup
porting Gov. J. A. o. Preus, repub-
lican.
Several prominent republicans have
come out openly for Johnson, includ-
ing Thomas Frankson. former lieu
former secretary of state. They are
opposed to the policies of Gov. Preus.
Asks Democratic Votes.
In. the democratic ranks, Daniel w.
Lawler Of st. Paul, former democratic
candidate for governor. and r. T. O'Con-
nor of St. Paul, both prominent in party
affairs in the state, have appealed to
their followers to vote for Gov Preus
In preference to the democratic candi-
date, State Senator James A. Carley.
These democrats declare Carley will
poll only small vote and has no chance
Of election and that therefore the dem
ocratic voters should throw their sup
port to Preus in an effort to beat
Johnson.

CHEMICAL PATENTS
T0BE KEPT SECRET
Judge Reiterates Intention to
Protect Defense in U. S.
Suit Against Foundation.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON. Del, July 11.-Fed-
eral Judge Morris emphatically an
nounced today that his ruling of yes
terday that witnesses In the govern
ment's suit against the Chemical
Foundation would not be required to
disclose publicly trade secrets would
stand. Announcement was made
after Assistant Attorney General
Anderson had read a prepared state
ment asserting that the government
felt that 1t would be seriously
preJudicial to Its rights and interests
IN this litigation to accept the sug-
gostion of the court" that testimony
as TO trade secrets be taken in
chambers and held invtolate by coun-
sci ard the court.
Declaring that he did not know
that 1t was necessary for him to
make any statement in these "un-
said that by the ruling the govern
ment would mot be embarrassed In
the trial of the case In this court, nor
embarrassed In the trial OF the case
In any appellate court" His duty Is
to protect both the government and
the witness he said. adding that this
was the object Of his ruling.
Characterizing Mr.. Anderson's s
statement as an Extraordinary" one,
Attorney kresel, for the defense,
charged In effect that the govern
ments purpose in seeking to have Dr.
Ernest H. Volwiler chief chemist for
the Abbott Laboratories of Chicago,
testify as to how his company made
workable certain German patents for
drugs was to permit rivals of the
company Ito learn those secrets" and
enable. perhaps, the Germans to
learn how to do the things not ac-
cording to patents they have taken
out"
Mr. Anderson replied that such a
charge was unworthy of notice; that
the government OF the United States
does not indulge In that kind of
practice" He then explained to the
court that the information sought
from the witness was of such a
highly technical nature that counsel
could not understand 1t without con-
sulting an expert. There was a sug-
gestion that the testimony be given
before a government chemist, but this
was abandoned after the chemist pre-
sented to the court declined to be
present on the ground that IL some
OF his colleagues in his laboratory
worked out similar processes from
original research he would be placed
under a cloud.

There Is enough adventure In such
an undertaking to thrill any one. for
Mr.. and Mrs. Ford arrived among a
hostile population and 1t was only
after acting as physicians. surgeons.
dentists and councillors that they won
the confidence of the Indians.
Arriving at a place 400 miles in
the interior of the country with six
bullocks and carts, they lived In a
nut with mud walls. a straw roof and
the earth as a floor, with the door as
the only opening. They lived in this
house. Their first night In the hut

Fanatical native priests. he de-

stroy their lives and mission sta

them, yet they ministered medical re-
Lief to thousands of the red men and
women, and never before had the In

to show such an interest In their

the mud like hogs wallow in the mire,

their clothing was caked with mud just
like horse is caked after lying in the

Mr.. Ford says he has seen them eat
dry barley flour and drink water and
then swell up until their stomachs
would resemble blacksmith's bellows.

tunate creatures. who know nothing
about the laws of health. and nothing
about the plan of salvation, that we
