Just where Lou Holtz dug it
up haven't the slightest idea.
But it gets away from the usual
routine of the day, so I am
happy to present it to you here.
And that should settle that.
1t concerns a very old lady
and a very old man. For al
most SO years this couple lived
on a little farm deep in upper
New York. In all those years
they seldom visited a city. And
when they did, old Hiram and
Esmeralda were happy at the
sight of the farm on the re-
turn trip.
Essy and Hi
On the particular day in
which our story. opens, Hiram
and Esmeralda are very busy.
Directly behind the farmhouse
are the tomato vine. Bugs. have
been very active on those vines
lately, and Hiram is spraying
them with Esmeralda's help.
ESmeralda walks around the
vine to Hiram's side.
She says: Hi, been
a-watchin' Browns kids on their
way to school. I'm not sartin
that the big boy is in his right
mind, but yesterday he told me
that a man flew across the
ocean in one of them flynn
thingamabubs.
"He says the schoolmarm tells
the kids some mighty strange
things. Now I been a-thinkin'
.'twouldn't be a bad idee if you
and me took up some of this
here now learnin' business"
Hiram remained silent for
moment. Then he spoke.
"ESSy," he said, nasally. II
thought of that same thing 20
years ago. I'll be gol-switched
II you didn't take the words
right outen my MOUTH.
And so, five mornings week,
this elderly couple hitched
Dobbin to the buggy, and me
Rndered down the dusty road
to the village schoolhouSe. The
farm could afford to spare
them. All their lives, Hiram
and ESmeralda had worked
hard, and saved. And school,
to them, was a luxury.
They had been attending
classes regularly for almost
month when a strange thing
occurred. Old Dobbin was am.
bling along the dusty road to
home, flicking the flies off with
his tail, when he kicked a black
object with his hoof.
His Discovery
Hiram saw it and pulled up.
Slowly, he alighted. In the
dust, he picked up the black
object and stepped back into
the buggy.
What is it, HIP" asked Es-
meralda.
!, "Pocketbook," he responded
1aconically.
BE you sure there's somethin'
In it?" persisted the woman.
Folks don't never lose empty
ones," he replied.
Back home, Hiram opened the
pocketbook. A number Of bills
cleaned a dull yellow inside.
The farmer counted the money
three times. There was $500 in
all. He closed the bag again,
and walked upstairs with it.
Esmeralda said nothing
thereby breaking all records.

OUR INTERRACIAL
DUTY

Houston, Texas, July % CAMP Re
cent reports from the headquarters of
the Commission on Interracial Coop
Grafton in Atlanta, Georgia" the Hous-
ton Informer remarked editorially this
week, show the remarkable progress
that is being made in changing the at
titude of white people toward their
black neighbors. But there runs throu-
gh them all an unstated fact which Is
somewhat disturbing to The Informer.
1t is the fact that the whole program is
fast becoming, if it has not already lar
gely become, a one-sided affair, ra-
cially speaking.
White people are doing lot of stud
ying of Negroes and their life situations
and problems; but Negroes are gaining
very little scientific knowledge about
the white community and its life situa-
tons and points of view. White people
are showing a great deal of concern "a
bout the unSoclal attitudes OF such a
large percentage of their group; but
Negroes are making no corresponding
efforts in the Negro community.
White schools are offering courses
in race relations in large numbers
every year; but there are no significant
similar courses in Negro schools. This
kind of procedure can never bring the
best results; and our interracial duty
requires that we see to it that we play
some significant role in the solution of
problem in which we are chiefly con-
cerned, instead of letting it drift into a
purely white peoples missionary pro-
ject."

BRUTALLY MURDERS
COMMON-LAW WIFE

Jonesboro, Ark, July % (ANP) Stand
ing in the front door of the home
where for nearly year he had been
living out of wed-1ock with Mildred
Temple, Bonnie Butler, small town
sporting man, fired five blasts at her
from a Stevens IL guage pumps gun,
two taking effort and killing her in
stantly.
Butler, one of the lads about town,
who was well known to police courts
and who had served time as murderer,
told police who arrested him that his
common law wife had been unfaithful
to him. AS he went to the house Sun
day night, he said he found the front
door latched and saw a man fleeing
through the back door. Questioning
Miss Temple, Butler says that she ad-
mitted the man, Bud Wilson, another
local character and that she had given
him $500 of Buffers money which he
had hidden away.
Leaving the scene of the killing, still
carrying the shotgun, Butler threatened
Ruby Lee Stratton, who had started
toward the house at the sound of shots
and then weHt to the home of his
parents. He told them of his deed
changed his clothes and went out into
town, being arrested later that night
by police officers
In 1926 Butler killed Jesse Haines on
Lutterloch Row, claiming that Haines
bro,.c into his home while drunk. For
this he served three years. Butler is

THOMAS DESCRIBES
RELIEF DISCRIMINA-
TION IN THE SOUTH

Tallahassee, Fla, July 28th (ANP)
Speaking before the Florida A. & M.
Summer school, Friday, Jesse o.
Thomas revealed by actual figures and
examples from large centers like Jack
sonville, Fla, Macon, Ga, New Orleans
ETC., how discrimination in direct food
relief, in cloth distribution, in types of
work assigned, in the elapsed time be-
tween relief in racial preference, in
failure to take into consideration ra-
ton, and in failure to identify Negroes
with relief agencies is actually geing
objected. Punctuating his address with
undeniable proofs, Mr.. Thomas stated
that 'The mass culture of the dominant
group if it has an opportunity to offer
will always offer it to one of his own
group" Mr.. Thomas maintained that
the Negro is made to suffer more than
any other group because he lacks poll
teal representation and status. The
speaker asserted that Unemployment
has gone on so long now that it has
gradually shifted our cultual levels.
This depression is not confined to any
one level but has reached up to the
highest cultural level. If any good
thing has come out of this depression
it is the proof of the fact that you can
not have horizontal economic levels in
. democratic country and that we have
found out that you cannot elevate your
self to a place of security by exploita-
ton"
Mr.. Thomas besides addressing the
student assembly met the male mem
bers of the student body numbering
Approximately 100 and the faculty
members in a round table talk. Here,
Mr. Thomas went into more intimate
details emphasizing many of the points
in has address and especially calling
the attention of the group to the fact
that the intelligent Negroes do not con
Germ themselves or acquaint themselves
with the movements that spell relief
and the future economic rehabilitation
and stability Of the Negro as an econo-
mic group.

praecipe of suit for $4,000 filed
Thursday by the law firm of Morris &

Mr. Stark Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are
out of the city.
Mrs. Anderson is the former Mrs.
Clifford Stark. She and her husband
were quietly divorced last fall, Mr..
Anderson's law firm representing her.
Shortly after her divorce from Mr.,
Stark, runors were circulated to the
effect that she and Mr.. Anderson had
married or were to marry. At that
time, the present Mrs. Anderson w,re
a ring to indicate that there was some
foundation to the rumors. Mr.. Ander-
son steadfastly denied that he was mar
ried to Mrs. Stark or that he intended
to marry her.
However, aftev repeated denials, the
marriage took place, and the couple
has been living quietly ever since.

fishes, without confirmation, a state
ment to the effect that Mr.. Stark will
