ing timber and minerals.
Much of this land is now suitable
for agriculture, Mr.. Chase says, al
though it was properly designated as
swamp" land when selected.
When these lands or timber off
them are sold, Or iron ore leases
made, the proceeds will be added to
the permanent swamp land fund,
which totalled $1O,331,355.S5 on
June 80, last, the income from which
is annually used for the benefit of
the schools and the wards of the
State. Half of this annual income
goes to school apportionment, the
other half to the state educational,
charitable and penal institutions in
proportion to their cost of mainte-
nance.
In the last fiscal year this income
amounted to the snug sum of $402,-
1926. In other words, the public
schools last year received more than
100000 from this fund, while
similar amount was pro-rated among
the various institutions. The State
University received the largest
amount, $94,936, while other institu-
tons received varying amounts up to
more than $4,000 each. There were
"a institutions benefited.
1t is interesting to note, according
to Mr.. Chase, that less than half of
the more than $10,000,0OO now con-
shutting the swamp land fund was
derived from sale of land From this
source has come $4,314,37,S while
timber sold off swamp lands has
brought $4,360,754 and royalties on
iron ore contributed $1,656,214 to
the total.
A number of forties included in
the lands to which the state now gets
title are known to contain large iron
ore deposits, although the ore is of
quality at present not merchant
able. These tracts will not be sold,
but held until such time as there has
been discovered successful method
of beneficiating low grade ores.
The far-reaching significance of
Minnesota's victory in these swamp
land cases can better be understood
and appreciated, it is pointed out,
when it is borne in mind that it
means thousands of dollars addition

purposes and care of the States un-

Dual Set of Manners
Sign of Boorishness

Many a man is grabbed, moody and
stingy in his home and among his
family and servants. But let the door
bell ring! Let a visitor call! AS If
by magic this man becomes suave and
generous. He puts on his company
manners.
A story is told Of capable e1ecu-
tive who lost an opportunity for pro-
motion because his manners among
his business associates were not car
ried over into his home. The presi-
dent of the concern, who learned in
time the dual code Of the man, de-
cided not to trust him in q post where
instructive good manners were prime
requisite The bear had come home,
unaware that his superior had pre-
coded him with the offer of advance
ment, and, before his meek wife could
break the news, had growled out his
true nature.
The acid test of good manners Is
not applied on the street or in the
office. where expediency holds the
whip and commands prudence. The
real test is in the home, with children,
among servants and all who may be
called inferior; among those who can
not or will not retaliate for harsh
word or a despicable act.
Here the invisible apparel Of good
manners proclaims the gentleman

Early History of Books

Through the Dark ages the church
carefully guarded its literary treas
ures. Books were considered neces-
sary to mitigate the austerities of
monastic life. They were borrowed
and exchanged for copying, and fire.
quently were read for generations in
the same monastery In which they
had been written. Following the rule
Of st. Benedict, many monks read a
required number Of hours day. The
works accessible were kept in cup
boards or presses and were studied or
copied in the carols of the cloister,
even during the coolest weather.
Great value was set upon them.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dear Editor:
In the st. Paul Echo Of Dec. 49,,
1926, read with interest the account
of the outcome of the theatrical case,
the editorial concerning it and the
attitude of the N. A. A. C. P.
throughout the trial. I'd like to
shake the hand and say a few con-
gratulatory words to the fellow who
wrote that editorial. He has the
knack of putting into expression just
what has become fixed fact with N.
A. A. C. P. branches here and else
where, throughout most of the coun-
try, as well as in st. Paul. They do
not function, especially along the
little lines which concern our race
group the most. l know that no
stream can rise higher than it's
source; and that blame for inaction
may lie at the door of the rank and
file rather more than it does at the
hands of the organization; but it is
pitiable that, with SO many golden
opportunities opening out before it
daily, on every hand, about all the
life it exhibits is in the annual cleo
ton of officers. Now and then a big
gun blows in, and there is ripple of
excitement for one consecutive day
and then all is as still as the body
when the spirit has departed.

"Touch Wood"

To one who boasts continued good
luck the reply is often made touch
wood" Has this phrase come down to
US from our tree worshipins ances-
tors? The primitive belief was that
spirits resided in trees. Without this
basic idea being entirely lost there
came the period Of the sacred groves
and the Druids' oaks, and then the ded-
ication of certain sorts of trees to the
earliest and simplest form of super
stition. We touch wood to call the
attention Of the tree spirit to the fact
that we recognize his influence in the
good luck Of which we boast, and In
order that he may not feel sighted
and change our good fortune into bad !;
at least, that is why our ancestors
touched wood.

Prominent Men Head Move.
St. Paul and Minneapolis lodges
are undecided on sending representa-
tives to Pittsburgh on Jan. 10, IL
and 18th to determine place to
meet in 1927, but to date the COM
mittee of call includes number Of
prominent figures in business and
fraternal life. Among the men on
the committee of call are Judge Ed
ward Henry of Philadelphia, Robert
Ridley of Chicago and Frank Sutton
and Charles Stewart of Pittsburgh.
The call follows:
ITO the Exalted Ruler, officers of All
Subordinate Lodges and Temples:
"This is to call your attention to
the Winter Conference to be held
in Pittsburgh, January 10, II, H.,
1927, for the purpose of deciding the
next convention city for 1927.
Because of the furious Grafton
Law in New York prohibiting the
wearing of emblems, holding pag-
eants and parades, the majority of
the lodges and temples decided that
any place in New York State was not
the logical place for an annual con-
vention.
AT our last convention held in
Cleveland one of the delegates had
this information in his possession,
but because of his failure to read the
same advantage was taken of the
youthful delegates.
Therefore, we, your committee,
with the assistance of 452 lodges and
temples, felt the necessity of calling
this mid-winter conference to select
a calm sea, where the Fraternal
Brotherhood can sail on and on to a
peaceful end"
Subordinate lodges have been re-
quested to send thir exalted rulers
or past exalted rulers to the confer
ence, but in case neither come here
the subordinate lodges will send dele

One of the queerest things done by

shown by common mushroom when

Not so fast, Mr.. Editor:


Negro editor in Chicago, has got all shot in the collar
because the Chicago Tribune carrying advertising of the Fed
e Insurance Company which advertising states that the policy
advertised will not be sold to Negroes This editor suggests that
Negroes boycott the Tribune All of which silly talk my
risibes violently
It though Negroes will learn that Economic
Deeminsm reality this world Money talks" and bullets
win world markets. And it takes to buy bullets well
win elections.
Why should the Chicago Tribune refuse advertising from
simply because that refuses do business with
Negroes? How much advertising do Negroes place the Chicago
Tribune? How much do they place in the Negro
What have got to advertise? How well do for the little
advertising that we do?
Would the prestige of the Tribune be hurt bit all the
Negroes Illinois absaned from reading it? Doesn't the dear
editor know that when white and magazines and adve
ing agencies place marketing data before prospective advertisers
that these publications nearly always ignore the Negro population
entirely? We simply don't count then We always read such
expressions white population white male population ma
tive white population" white buyers"
This is due to the fact the belief that group not
looked group with stable income with free dollars
And of who do business with Negroes know that this
the truth There vast difference between doing business with
group that write personal check time payment
for purchases and group that only put down
day. And of know that you must hop quickly
payday to get there before the pay is all spent.
