MRS. ARTENIA ]. MILLER MISSED

Mrs. Artenia j. Miller. friend
to the poor, is gone to the Great
Beyond where she is resting from
her labor and her good works shall
follow her, to live on through the
ceaseless age of eternity.
During her lifetime she saw that
the poor were looked after and cared
for. Every year she would give the
inmates of the Afro-American Old
Folks Home, 1115 w. Moore St =.
Richmond, Va. picnic. Since her
death, l am sorry to say, the Old
Folks have had no one to take them
out for recreation.
The old fathers and mothers would
be glad if some one or some organ
ization would fill her place N taking
them out. AS the summer is gliding
by, we hope that they will have the
opportunity to go somewhere before
the summey' is gone.

NEW YORK READY FOR ELKS

New York is ready to house and en-
tertain the greatest convention in the
history of the Elks. The unrest as to
whether the mandate Of the delegates
of the Cleveland Convention would be
carried out has been obliterated. After
many difficulties the wheels are now
running smoothly, with the New
York injunction permanently vacated
through the efforts of the legal staff

STORM GAINED DOWN.

The storm which has prevailed in
the oElks' camp for the past few
months seems to have calmed down to
normalcy. but it has got the rank and
file thinking, and they are now asking
the question. Has the time arrived to
change the head of the organization
in order to guard against perpetu
ating an individual in the office, and
to give other bright minds in the Or
der an opportunity to steer the gigan-
tic ship of Elkdom?
The logical contender for the Office
of Grand Exalted Ruler, according to
his campaign committee. is j. Dalmus
Steele who was a candidtte for the
same office in 1925 at Richmond. He
caused more unrest to Finley Wilson
and the Grand Legal Adviser, the late
Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was the
savior of the Wilson reign at that
time, than any other contender for
that office since Wilson has held the
reins. 1t is said that at one time dur
ing the Richmond Convention that
Steele's election was all but assured.
His campaign committee say they will
not stop at doing Richmond. but
that they will put their candidate
across, as their headquarters are
flooded with letters from various
parts of the country declaring that
there must be change in the head
Of the Order.

A MONUMENT TO
COLORED FOLKS

A bronze statue of an old colored
man. heroic in size, and appealingly
lifelike, was recently erected in Match
itoches, La. The pedestal, about eight
feet high, has upon its side bronze
tablet with this inscription:
ERECTED RY TIE
CITY OF NATCHIToCHES
IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION OF THE
ARDUoUs AND FAITHFUL SERVICES
OF THE GooD DARKIES OF
LOUISIANA
DONATED BY
j. l.. BRYAN
1927
This unusual statue is in the center
of public square on the bank of Cane
River 1t faces south, toward the
main street of the little city; at the
left, few yards away, is, the his
toric stream with an old steamboat
landing; at the right, at an equal dis
tance, is the jefferson Highway, the
great road from Winnipeg to New
Orleans.
The old colored man looks as if he
had just shuff1ed into the square and
recognized some of his white folks;
he has removed his battered hat and
is bowling and smiling his Joyous
greeting. His kindly, wrinkled fea-
tures; gnarled hands and big feet show
lin lin genuine type. He seems ready
to tell an Uncle Remus story to any of
the wondering white children who
come to play iii the grass nearby.
The Cane was the Red River until
about the time of the Civil War, when
a flood came and the Red broke over
into Bayou le Bon Dieu and made it
self a new channel six miles east of
the town. The rich Cane River coun-
try was a region of great cotton plan
tations, teeming with life and indus
try. In the old days steamboats, piled
beteen Natchitoches and New Orleans
and served the hospitable, easy-going
planters whose homes were among the
live oaks and magnolias near the river
landings.
Relations between the races have
always been very pleasant in this
town and the country roundabout
not only in slavery days, but down to
the present Many white people in
the parish have been nursed or served
by the old-time "uncles" and "aunties," :"
and a warm regard remains on each
side.

REPORT OF COW TESTING
: ASSOC. PROVES WORTH
Grantsville Dairymen Increase
Butterfat Production at Alarm
ing Rate In Month

Within one months time after
forming the Maple Land Cow Testing
Association at Grantsville, the num-
Der of cows in the association produc-
ing 40 pounds of butterfat or more
was increased from two to sixteen.
During this time series of lectures
on feeding and care of cows was CIV
en- by specialist from the University
of Maryland, and attended by large
number of dairymen from different
sections of the county.
In the April report of the associa-
ton it is noted that but two cows
produced more than 40 pounds of milk
and that the highest number of
pounds produced by one cow was 46.2
pounds. A like report for the month
of March shows that there are sixteen
cows producing more than 40 pounds
and that the highest number of
pounds produced by any one cow is
1916 pounds. The report for April
also shows that there are seven cows
tested by the association producing
more than so pound of butterfat.
The value of the association is rea-
lized when reports of this nature are
made. It is said that it costs no more
to feed a good cow than to feed a poor
one, and a COW testing association will
many times prove that one good cow
will produce more butterfat than two
poor cows. 1t is obvious then that
everytime poor COW is taken from a
nerd the dairyman is bound to profit
more for his Gloss"

Public Utility Official Dies

Mr.. Albert M. Lynn, president of
The West Penn Electric Company and
a director of the American Water
Works and Electric Company, died at
the Roosevelt Hospital, New York
City, April 8, 1927, at 100 p. M, in
the fifty-second year of his age, after
a long illness.
For over thirty years he had been
identified in important executive
capacities with the public utility
properties of the American Water
Works and Electric Company.
Mr.. Lynn was born in Indianapolis,
Indiana, October ~, 1875, moving
with his family to Pittsburgh in 1889,
where he attended public school. On
February l, 1893 he entered the en-
ploy Of the American Water Works
and Guarantee Company, the prede-
cessor of the American Water Works
and Electric Company, serving for
some years in the general offices at
Pittsburgh. He then became manager
of the Company's water works plant
at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and later
of that at Birmingham, Alabama. For
many years thereafter he was in
charge of large proportion of the
Company's works properties.
In 1917 he was elected president of
The West Penn Company and upon
the organization of The West Penn
Electric Company he became its presi-
dent in which capacity he was serv-
ing at the time of his death.
Among his associates and through
out the large territory served by the
properties of which he was the head,
Mr.. Lynn was noted for the great
energy and attention which he de-
voted to his work.
His experience with and knowledge
of the public utility properties of
American Water Works and Electric
Company, Incorporated, made Mr..
Lynn's advice and counsel of great
and increasing value. His personality
was most engaging; and his kindly
and sympathetic nature strongly i'm
pressed itself upon the personnel of
the various organizations and upon a
wide circle Of friends, within and
without the industry.
