sent today to Governor Theodore Bill
bo by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People.
In the telegram, Mississippi's "an-
archie Indifference to human life and
standards of common decency essen
tial to civilization" are hailed as
symptoms of the low place of that
state in education, per capita wealth,
industry and general progress. The
telegram to Governor Bilbo, signed
by James Weldon Johnson, secretary
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, is
as follows:
mississippi again stands pilloried
before the civilized world as the
plague spot of lynching in America,
having raised the total for the United
States during 1928 from nine to II,
with two brutal mob murders in the
last week of the year. One of these
atrocities was the burning alive Of a
Omaha monitor., 1929-01-11

man at the stake. Five of the IL
lynchings of the year are charged
against Mississippi.
at is reported by the press that
you called out troops to hunt the
Negro but declined to use these
troops for the maintenance of due
process of law when the mob's victim
had been captured. 1t is further re-
ported that you viewed the charred
body of the burned man and then
made public statement saying that
no investigation of the outrage would
be made at your instigation as you
had neither the time nor the money
to investigate two thousand people,
''This is in effect encouragement
to Mississippi lynchers by the COVER
nor of the state. That the chief ex-
ecutive of any American state can
make such a pronouncement unwhip-
ped of public opinino, goes far to ac-
count for the low position occupied

OLD FOLKS HOME

The Bachelor Benedict club is Civ
ing charity ball for the benefit of
the building fund Of the Old Folks
Home. They are doing everything
to ms',e it the largest affair that has
ever been given for the benefit of
charity in Omaha. One thousand
tickets have been placed on sale and
are selling very fast. People who
never go to dances are buying tick
cts to help the cause. The board of
the Old Folks Home are also selling
tickets and it is hoped that no one
will say no toward buying ticket,
as the money is badly needed.
We are very proud to know that
DR.. j. H. Hutton, member of our
board, is one of the board of gov
ernors of the Community Chest.
Donations-Mr. J. G.. Parker, 112
North 43rd avenue, gave $500 to-
ward the building fund; Martha Tay-
lor Smith gave basket of onions
and some canned fruit.
We have a very efficient house
keeper in Mrs. Matte Misner. Call
ers are welcome on Friday, which is

by that state in matters of education,
law enforcement, wealth, industry
and human progress. It is a pro-
nouncement emanating from anar-
chic indifference to human life and
standards of common decency essen

"You, Governor Theodore Bilbo of
Mississippi, and the lynchers you en-

II can't go no faster" Janey broke in land
anyhow step longer'n you do, SO we even up
guess; but it does seem a long WAYS IN that
turn in the road"
Its a long road that has no turnin,"
chuckled Betty and on they plodded The
m1dafternoon sun poured its radiance over
them and they seemed to enjoy it. Janey said
1t was good for her rheumatic and Betty liked
the warm feeling on her back.
1t was tiresome though looking behind for
the autos; SO they wouldn't come up on Won
suddenly and then Screech so that you almost
jumped out of your shoes. They scrambled to
one side as fast as they could, the moment
they saw one coming, and waited until il was
once more safe to proceed.
IT'S funny how heavy little bundle with
nothin' in 1t but nightgown and a clean apron
and few trinkets can git." Janey commented,
and Betty agreed that it was.
one place they found the whole roadside
grown up to sweet clover and they both
picked bunch. Again they rested this time
sitting on horse block The house back of it
had the look Of being empty
1t takes two great ships to move my two
great hips" said Janey stfll cheerfully, as she
got to her feet again.
Betty laughed heartily at this witticism They
hadn't gone far when a'cloud appeared moving
In the way ahead.
Nov, who's that comin'?" Janey exclaimed
"Boys!" cried Betty. mo, it amt; it's girls.
Well, / never!"
Don't that beat all you ever see?" cried
Janey, stepping a little quicker in her excite
ment. They've got pants on"
They came along, kicking up considerable
dust bunch of girls out on a hike, heads
bobbed and hatless legs encased in Knockers.
SOCKS and sneaks! laughing, chattering swing
ing along-a camp-cup at each belt and box
or bag OF lunch hitched to each girl somewhere
Amazed, the two old travellers stood aside gaz-
Ing to let them pass.
But the fresh young things stopped short in
the road, amazed in their turn.
Lo, grammas!" one greeted-she seemed to
be the leader Of the bunch-"you hiking, too?"
The old ones smiled broadly.
I'm goin' on visit to my gran,mothers"
Betty explained, land Janey here'-Janev
hunched her. MY mothers, I mean" Betty
corrected-"and Janey here is goin' with me.
My mother lives just little ways down here
around turn and down a little hill Mebby
you come by ia little house 1t Is, with some
white hens around in the yard and q rose-bush
near the door,"
Il think we did pass o little house on that
other road" said the girl leader, pointing back.
4 don't remember the roSe-bush, though it
might be there-the hens, too, I guess"
"A little house that needed paintin'?" Janey
asked. ...s..--..

THEY stood still for minute and watched
- the antics of the squirrel He jumped from
branch to branch and leered down saucily at
them.
A team of heavy farm horses drawing a load
of hay overlook the pair and they retreated as
far as they could to the side of the road
Good afternoon, sisters!" the driver called to
them. Climb up and I'll give We lift to town."
Their happy faces smiled up at him.
He thinks he's bein' funny, don't hep" said
Janey.
Il could-a done it once. nor waited tn he
asked!" cried Betty to him.
I don't doubt but We could, sister," the man
called back. "A good day to We and many of
'em"
He seems well spoken and good-wishin',"
'Janey observed. Did you say your mothers
house was around the turn Of the road?"
YES, did, Janey. I've told you that some-
thing like six times Already. Just around the
turn. It's small house and it needs paintin'.
but it's home all the same"
We'll, I'll be glad to be gittin' there I'm q
little speck breathless"
I'VE can set down on this here pile of rails
and rest u.s." Betty said.
They sat down. first putting their bundles side
by side on the top.
did you tell me your grandmother was
'hvin'?" Janey questioned.
Eyes, she's always lived along of mother"
said Betty.
How old is yer grandmother"
There was sly look in Janeys eyes, and
Betty cast suspicious glance at her. Nov you
think you've got me-" she said slowly.
Come to think of it, mebby my grandmother
'aint there; but II she's died none of ems told
me about it. don't remember her dyin'"
She drew herself up little and sat kicking
her small heels against the rails, looking of at
the hills and scattering houses that bordered
the town beyond. Janey began to unite her
bundle.
II knowed we'd be hungry fore we got there"
she chuckled. 80 put up a bit of lunch.

Janey's look of protest. TN be satisfied If git

They'll be lookin' for me- too"
Betty dreams good DEAL" Janey Whispered
loudly to one of the girls.
Betty silenced her with look well good
by" she said, me and Janey must hurry along.
hope you'll have as good a dinner as we will
We're goin' TO have chicken and biscuits"
"Good-by," laughed the girl leader. you'll
find the little house right around the turn and
down little hill"
The girls went their way, laughing back and
waving their hands, and the two old women
waved and smiled though their smiles were
rather weary by this time. They trudged on
toward that turn in the road and at last they
reached it, and could look down the little hill
They could see the roof of a house, a little
house.
I'm glad to cut clear of them autymubbles,"
Betty reJolced, as they made the turn into the
narrow road.
THE hill was short but rather steep, and get
ting down it was no easy task but there
at the bottom stood the alluring little house
the house that Janey, in her innost heart had
been afraid they wouldn't find though Betty
mad seemed so sure. There it was and the
whlte hens were there, too, some of them straw
ing out In the road. They quite forgot to look
1or the roSebush, because they were so taken
up at sight OF swing in front, with some chill
oren playing around it. The swing glided out
over the road but Betty said that didn't mat
ter, because 1t was private road. Janey looked
at Betty with newborn respect and confidence
In her eyes. 1t appeared that Betty knew what
she was talking about, after all.
Betty stepped a little quicker and Janey a
little longer and they came abreast of the huge
elm tree, to which the swing rope was fastened.
Under the tree, set against the trunk and raised
on some support to the proper height. WAS an

to sink down upon it.
