GROWING AND LEARNING

1t is gratifying to note how
our people are steadily grow
ing in appreciation of the Gull
tural side of life. They are be-
coming increasingly responsive
to high class concerts and en-
tentainments. Naturally music
lovers, the popular class of
music, rather than the classical
has and still has the stronger
grasp upon the masses of our
people as upon the masses of
other groups, and yet there is
a constantly and rapidly in
creasing number who really
rightly evaluate the classical.
With this growing appreciation
will eventually come the con-
viction of the necessity of ade-
quately paying our highly
trained and high class artists
for their services. We cheer
fully pay the admission price
demanded for the privilege of
hearing artists of the other
group, but hesitate to pay cor
responding prices for artists of
the same high grade within our
ranks. But we are growing

In Union Is Strength

Let US repeat that the most menac-

within the race, and not from the out

White Presbyterian. Refused to Ea.

white Fresbyterrans Nefuseo TO Eat
At the 140th general assembly of
the Presbyterian Church, which re-
Gently met at Tulsa, Okla, the annual
banquet was not had, because, it is
said, that the white brethren refused
to eat, if eating would offend their
darker brethren.
This conclusion was reached after
it was learned that the hotel, where
the banquet was to have been held,
refused to recede from it's policy of
not allowing Negroes to dine in its
dining room unless they were of the
servant class, and then without the
knowledge or consent of the manage
ment.
We think that the officials of the
church took high ground in this mat
ter and did the only Christian thing
under the circumstances.
In the meanwhile, a challenge is
laid at tn edoor of this great church
to take up the fight anew against this
kind of un-Christian practice which is
prevalent in this so-called Christian
nation. Not only a fight, but war
against this deviltry, which is finding
it's way into the Church, and not be
afraid to decry the wrong from its
pulpits.
AS we have said before in these
columns, when the Church gets right,
the evils and the ills of the world will
get on the run.-St. Louis Argus.

pounds OF tea, valued, according to
the department OF commerce, at
$31, ,349, 900. In the same year, we
imported 9,54O,OOO,OOO pounds OF
sugar valued at $232, 100000.
If that sugar and tea could be
produced at home, the benefit would
be the farmers.
For some time, Senator Howell has
been ballyhooing artichokeS for dom
estic sugar, and cassima mate, a
species Of holly growing from Vir-
ginia to New Mexico, for domestic
tea. He has been sponsoring such
minor legislation as is necessary to
carry out experiments with these
plants and to introduce them to the
farmer.
The artichoke is the senator's
favorite vegetable and he once gave
a private dinner here to the Nebraska
delegation at which he served puree
dartichoke, artichoke sugar Qevulosel,
artichoke chips, artichoke salad and
artichokes in other palatable forms
The stalks of the plant are great
food for cattle. The plant is the
Mammoth French White Jerusalem
artichoke and is not to be confused
with the common table brand Of
artichoke. AS much as 11,620 pounds
of artichoke has been raised on an
acre. 1t is an extremely hardy plant.
"Levulose is rs per cent sweeter
than sugar and is desirable sugar
in every FORM" says Howell. "E
believe that the artichoke can
eventually be made the mainstay OF
our national sugar supply and largely
relieve us from the necessity OF I'M
portation."
So Howell has sent department OF
agriculture bulletins to 10000 Neb-
raSka farmers recommending that
they experiment in growing the tuber.

WASHINGTON-SO members of
this congress are content to crate
and vote for farm relief measures
the effect of which can't possibly be
foretold until they're tried A few
are working more quietly toward some
surer though less spectacular method
Of helping the farmer.
One, at least, is working in both
ways. He is the Hon. Robert
Beecher Howell, the other senator
from Nebraska.
Senator Howell has been promot-
ing programs looking forward to the
time when American farmers may
be able to produce the great quaint
tiles of sugar and tea consumed in
this country, which are now imported.
If that could be achieved, the
farmer should be much better Off.
And if the same principle could be
worked to the extent of making us
entirely independent OF Ioreign farm
products, it might become a vitaRy
important factor in solving the
general farm problem.
The farmers main ailment, as has
been explained times without num-
ber, is overproduction The remedy
most frequently advanced is diversi
fication of crops. The trouble with
diversification seems to be that, like
farm production, it can't be con-
trolled.
Too much uncontrolled diversified
ton would spread the ailment OF
overproduction.
On the other hand, ii American
farmers can take overproduction OF
now produced abroad for
American consumption, that's all to
the good Acreage thus devoted can
be taken from acreage now contribut-
ing to overproduction.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ). MONTAGUE
REFORM IN NAME ONLY

When L recently heard that the Turk
Had abandoned his terrible ways
mUrmure d, in substance: "GooC
work."
Or some such expression of praise.
I rejoiced that at last he had made
up his mind
As his yearning for culture grew
keener
To behave in fashion bit more
refined
And to bear more cultured de-
meanor.
But I think that they carry too far
The pursuit of their cultural aims
When the lads in kiosk and bazaar
Insist upon changing their names.
They've abolished the dirk and have
scrapped the harem
Which of course are encouraging
Omens,
But why should the boys on the Bos-
porus deem
That they all ought to have new
cognomens.
Their names, as general rule
Like music descend on the ear,
The sound of "Abdullah Abdool'
Is ever so pleasant to hear.
But the Turks and their newly ad-
vanced kin and kith
Believe that this isn't marker
To our own patronyn1icS, like Bilkins
and Smith
And Judson and Virgins and Parker
If the Turk feels impelled to repent
Of the things he has done. in the
past,
I would willingly give my assent
And trust his repentance might last;
If he's bound toward the pathways OF
sweetness and light
shall certainly prize him more
highly
But it's not going to help him to turn
toward the right
To call himself Perkins or Riley.
