The older Negroes will
no doubt, die stepped in
this attitude. But it is
time that the younger
Negro broke away. 1t Is
time now that he know
the difference between a
gilded brick and a bar
of gold. He should cease
to be afraid of being
called radical. Any
Negro with the sense Of
a beetle must be a radi-
cal. That is, he should
have the clear vision
and the courage to look
through the bunk and
tommyrot of the Repub-
lican Party, of the cap
italist employers who
feed the strife that
keeps white and black
workers from getting to-
gether, of the white
preacher who praises
and encourages our sim
pie childlike faith, Of
the white platform wind
TANNER who tells us
with tongue and cheek
of our wonderful pro-
gress.
There is but one white
man and but one black
man worth following.
That is the white man
or black man who be-
lieves in the actual
brotherhood of all men;
who believes in and
practices basic human
equality Intellectual,

lftical.

TWO ACCIDENTS AT ARGYLE

Two accidents happened in quick
succession on the river last Saturday.
Fred Brewer had crew cutting
ice and filling the big ice house. The
building was nearly full and he was
congratulating himself that nobody
had even got a toe pinched, when the
saw belt broke and struck Frank
Ryan a terrible blow. He was rushed
to a doctors office and Milton Hen
erickson took his place at the saw.
A few minutes later Hendrickson's
foot slipped and he fell showing his
foot under the saw guard. The saw
caught his shoe, jerking it up against
the guard, breaking his leg and ter
rihly mangling his foot.
The afternoon train was held until
he could be placed aboard and
rushed to a Freeport hospital.
The men all had compensation in
surance.-Argyle Atlas.

about two ounces and when fully
grown weighs from two to three

CHOW CHAMPS

Soldiers Given Christmas
Dinners Fit for
Monarchs. -

Chow, in army parlance, may some
times cover "slum" and many other
culinary sins, but the soldier who an.
swered the call for chow on Christmas
day at local army posts was proud OF
big appetite. .'
Everywhere in the army, mess ser.
geants and army cooks planned a reg

pound of turkey per man as the base
Of the menu.
Wednesday more than 10000 pounds
of dressed turkey were distributed
from the Eighth Corps General Area
Depot to the various organizations al
local army posts.
COOKS WORK HARD.
The largest single mess at any local
army post, and perhaps the largest
army mess in the country, is the one
called No. 3 at the Station Hospital
Between 400 and 500 men cat al
that mess, and cooks worked overtime
preparing the great quantity of food
to be consumed.
The menu for mess No. 3, which
was prepared under direction of Cap
tain Earl F. Green, mess officer al
the hospital, may be taken as a fam
criterion Of all Christmas dinners that
were prepared for the army personnel
. g.. SOME DINNER.
The menu included fruit punch, oys.

wonder cake, apples, oranges, bananas,
mixed candy, mixed nuts, French
bread, butter, coffee, milk and cigar
cites.
The soldier who was able to pass
through the entire menu without a sin

INTEREST LACKING.

"Time and again at the American
Dancing Masters convention / have
seen efforts to revive the old dances
and every time the effort failed, sim
ply because interest was lacking even
among the teachers.
Square dances are not fast enough
for this speedy age. In olden times
it was necessary to skip about in a
dignified manner because women's
skirts were so wide and so long.
Short skirts have helped to create
modern dances, and will be factor in
keeping round dances here
Mrs. Porter said she believes the
tango and the waltz are fully as
graceful as old-fashioned dances
were. Though for simple grace
there will never be another dance 70
equal the minuet," Mrs. Porter de
clared. But since there were bad
dancers in the day Of the minuet just
as there are now, it wouldn't be
truthful to say that the old-style type
of dance made graceful dancers or ths
dancing in general was more grace
full then then it is now"
And so the question is: VIII this
crusade for the restoration of squire
dances cause our "sheiks' and She
bas- 10 start dancing the minuct?
