strueting the 10000 900 acre rubber

Atlanta, Ga.
Mr.. Harris in his letter told the
president that the Army's color line
Is not cnly a hideous outrage hut is
wantonly unjust.
According to Washington dis
patch Tuesday the correspondence
had not yet reached the War De-
partment Officials of the War De-
partment said IL had been arranged
TO establish a training comp for
Negroes I'm each corps area II n
minimum OF fifty qualified men APP
piled for admission. That number
has not qualified in the Second or
New York Corps Area.
Burnell asserted that. ON being re.
jected, he was advised to apply for
admission to the Citizens Training
Camp at Atlanta. Such advice would
be misleading. It was said at the
War Department, as no arrange
ments have been made for training
Negro applicants at that camp.
In submitting the correspondence,
Mr.. Harris commented on Il as fol-
lc cws In his letter TO the President:
1--WE respectfully call your atten-
tion, Mr.. President. TO this uncon-
stitutional and dangerous color-line

citizens military training camp. We
respectfully call your attention as
commander-in-chi OF the army and
navy to the declaration of Colonel
Fleet. barring Burnell because Bur-
nell is colored. No more outrage
GUS discrimination has ever been
practiced against colored citizen
by any Southern State than the
United States Army is proclaiming
as its practivesin the matter OF col

Fer the United States Army to
! draw this color line against colored
boys anywhere is not only hid
eous outrage, but wantonly unjust.
The nation Is putting rancors in
the vessels of It's peave when Il pro-
claims this monstrous policy against
the coming colored generation. We
can say 60 the nation very frankly
that this they will not stand for.
The white world is on the verge of
war with the colored world. Amer
lea has not friend among any OF
the colored races in Africa, Asia or
America due TO this very cclor line

In some foreign circles it has
been charged that the hold of the

for the past quarter of a century
fols been as much to gain Pacif C
advantage for itself as it has been
to lift a backward and otherwise
defenceless people into a position
of self-government and indepen-
dence. The Fihpinos themselves
have maintained that domination
has not been not been worth the

PHILIPPINE ADMINISTRATION,

A change in Philippine admir- :
istration has been discussed. A
central bureau, in stricter nature
of civil government as distinct
from military control by army
and navy, appears to be the goal
sought.
lnose who believe in continr-
ed attachment to the Philippines
can not seriously object to such
a plan; while many who advocate
freedom for the island possession
see in the proposal a letting up
of rigorous control of the United
States in the far-Paclfic. But
whether the people of the islands
know it or not, the protection af-
forded since the Spanish war has
been of considerable value to
them. 1t has at least made them

PRATER LOCALS.

Having some fine farming
weather now and all working far
mers seem to be making good use
of it.
We are informed that big Hen
ry Deel, of Warfork, died Mon
day after just two or three days
illness. His family and relatives
have our deepest and heartfelt
sympathy in theic loss.
Several folks from Prater went
to Grundy to spend the 4th.
We understand that one of our
]. P's began celebrating the 4th,
on Sunday the 3rd, by tranking
up to the b.im on bad booze. Oh,
shame
How h GA CT l,w does tn

Whiskey assend or descend the
day prior to the 4th? Answer:
We don't believe it would ascend
to the throne of grace; and we
doubt whether it would descend to
the regions of the damned, no
matter how strong his breath.
Altho the weather is so fine,
we notice some folks have time
to tramp up and down the road.
| guess they are afraid they will
not get their part of the benefit
of it.
We certainly need Judge John
G.. Mccoy or some official in this
locality to take charge of the loaf
ers, runabouts and meddIers in
honest peoples affairs. You have
got to lock up your dry genseng
or set over it with a stick.
The 4th passed off quietly in
this burg, perhaps few took a
little booze, but seemed very qui-
ct.

Agricultural Department of Clint
wood High School, will make fer
tilizer test with corn this season, in
addition to his many other activities.
"Corn," said Professor Reynolds,
sis one of our most important crops,
yet it is the most neglected crop.
The purpose of our test is to deter
mine what kind and what amount of
fertilizer should be applied to pro-
duce the largest yield at the least
cost per busrel"
Corn can be grown on most any
| type of soil, but it does best on a
loamy soil containing large amounts
of organic material. The plant must
have, also, plenty of soil moisture
and an abundant supply of nitrogen.
One of these essentials without the
other will surely result in a poor
crop, if not a complete failure.
Plenty of humus turned into the
soil helps the physical condition OF
the soil, and aids in storing up a
good supply of soil moisture.
Experiments indicate that liberal
amounts of quickly available nit
rogen fertilizer, applied when the
corn is from knee to thigh high, is
essential if good yields are expected.
At this stage of the plants life, it
has developed a mass of roots, ex-
tending all through the soil, which
are hungry and thirsty for food.
"Since the nitrogen in nitratt of
Soda is the kind the plant likes best
and since it readily dissolves in the
soil moisture, there can be no bet
ter fertilizer for corn than this mat.
erial. Our test will compare Nitrate
of Soda with some of the. slower act.
ing forms of nitrogen, such as Cot.
tonseed Meal.
eve are taking this opportunity"
said Professor Reynolds, "to call at.
tention to this important test. The
location of this test and the fertilizer
used in each plot will be announced
; a little later. You will be interested
in watching what takes place on
this test.

Getting an attractive new home at
a comparatively low cost Is not such
a difficult matter. Proper selection

be obtained in this manner is shown
in the Illustration Here Is a two
