 NEGROES NoTHWARD MOVE

OXFORD, O., June 7-The pro- viding of means for the education of the negroes is one way to keep them in the southern states and check the alarming movement of the blacks northward. is the opinion of Dr. H. c.

towns to help defray the cost of properly entertaining the President and his party, The sum of $500 has been allotted to Fairbanks.
 Definite information was received recently by Gov. Scott C. Bone to the effect that Secretary Hoover will accompany President Harding on the latter's Alaska trip this summer This assures the presence of at least three members of the presi- dents Cabinet in the Presidential party when it arrives here.
 It is not impossible that Post master General Harry S. New will make the trip. The fact that he has asked for a change in dates of the Postal Convention in Seattle to about the time of arrival of the Presidential party there may indi- cate his intention of accompanying it. Other members making the trip will be Secretary Wallace, Agricul- ture.
 A change in Secretary Hoover's plans announced several weeks ago was revealed in the announcement that he would accompany the Pres ident. Sometime ago it was publicly announced that Mir Hoover would make an independent investigation of the Alaska fisheries situation during the summer which would in volve an extended visit to the Ter ritory on which all of the fishing districts would be seen by him.
 l. is not known whether he has entirely abandoned this idea or if he will carry it out after the Pres ident eturns to the States.
