A woman called at relief head
quarters in Kansas to complain about
the amount of money and supplies
given her family.
eve just can't get along on what
we're getting" she told a case work,
er. "My husband and l have talked
it over and he said if we didn't get
more, he was going out and try to
find job"
In these busy days of firemen's con-
ventions, etc, we copy from some
poet, or would-be poet, just as you
decide. You be the Judge.
THE ROOSEVELT BADGE
Some farmers get help, while others
get none
But we all have to pay for it, and
that's no fun.
Some have paved roads, some have
them graveled,
But the roads up Happy Hollow"
the devil can't travel.
For our cattle we get two to four
cents, if they are all nice and fat,
Now tell me, old farmer, what do you
think about that?
There is something else that looks
very dirty,
One pound of steak is twenty-five and
thirty.
Poor old Hoover's flour was only
forty-fve cents
We could all buy it then and build our
own fence.
But now great change we have all
Mr.. Roosevelt's flour is one dollar
fifteen.
The poor can't buy, it's too hard on
our backs;
And then, Dear Lord, there is three
cents more tax.
Millions fooled away to cut down pro-
duction
| Then storm and drought cut it down
to perfection.
If your pockets full of liquor, that's
all right,
You can get drunk as goose and
kick up fight;
But if you've got a gold dollar you
know how it ends,
Five thousand dollars fine, and two
years in the pen.
Mr. Roosevelt, you all know, plowed
up the wheat and cotton,
And my overalls now are so old and
so rotten
There's big hole on the knee and one
on the seat, it looks pretty hard,
| don't think it is fair, for an old man
like me to get too much fresh air
Ny daughter says, "Dad, don't worry,
you're not keeping batch,
I can fix those two holes with bur-
lap sack patch"
Oh, won't that be sporty, Oh, won't
that be fine,
To wear a Roosevelt badge before
and behind!

Mrs. Dorothy Pollard, Miss Tanner
O'Neal and Miss Frances Covington,
case workers on the F. E. r. A., went
into the Harvey Annex, located at
oath and Cunning Streets, Wednesday,
March 10th, to eat their lunches.
Shortly after the waiter had taken
their orders and gone to the kitchen
to give the orders in, he returned to
say that the proprietor, Harvey Jacob
son, said that if the colored people
wanted to eat there, a table would be
prepared for them in the rear, but
hey could not eat in the front.
Mrs. Pollard said that this was the
first time they had gone in there, as
the place looked so much like a dump.
But due to the fact that some Of their
co-workers, white, recommended the
food, they thought they would try the
place.
Mrs. Pollard and the Misses ONeal
and Covington declined to lunch there.

Pleads Guilty to Contributing to De-
linquency of 15-Year-Old Girl
Six Girls Taken Out of
House.

Cincinnati, GA modern Glove
harem" which houses girls of high
school age, is believed to have been
discovered with the arrest and con-
viction of Robert Dalton, 81. Of $40
Plum street, who was sentenced to
six months in jail by Judge Charles
w Hoffman in Juvenile Court last
week, after he had pleaded guilty to
contributing to the delinquency of a
15-year-om girl.
The girl, whose name was not re-
vealed, has been turned over to juve-
nile court authorities, it is said.
AS a result of the case, Judge Hoff-
man ordered the probation depart
ment Of Juvenile Court to make a
thorough investigation into the restau-
rant and rooming house at the Plum
street address.
The restaurant, known as "Hog-
head Joe's Place." is operated by JOS
eph Blackman. He has a lease on
the second and third floors of the
building.

Court attaches testified during the
hearing that they had taken six girls,
all of them high school or college
age, out of the house on different oc-
casions, and inferred that the place
was a '~love-harem."
Blackman, however, said that he
maintained the rooms as sleeping
quarters for his employees.
Dalton said, in court, that he was
dishwasher and general utility man in
Blackman's employ.

Ownership of Land
Asks Federal Aid to
BILL TO MAKE 1T POSSIBLE NOW
PENDING IN CONGRESS.

Atlanta, Ca, March 3D. Govern
ment aid to end the evils of "share-
cropping" by enabling thousands of
tenant farmers to become se~lf-sup-
porting landowners is urged in a re-
port just made public here by a COM
mittee composed of DR.. Edwin R. En-
bree, President of the julius Rosen-
wald Fund, DR.. W. W. Alexander,
Director of the Commission on Inter
racial Cooperation, and DR.. Charles s..
Johnson, of Fisk University.
The report, based on an exhaustive
survey Of the South's agricultural sit
u%ation, reveals that II per cent of the
South's cotton farmers are landless,
that So per cent of it's total farm pop
ulation is in the same unhappy con-
dition, that tenancy is rapidly i~ncreas-
.ng, and that declining exports of cot
ton are steadily underwriting the
foundations Of the tenant system. A
fa~r-reaching program of government
aid to ownership is seen as the only
remedy. The report reveals the fol-
lowing facts:
In 1880 of 3,O88,111 farms in the
thirteen Southern states, ffty-eight
per cent, or 1,789,0OO, were cultivated
by tenants, Of whom 1,789, 900, were
cultivated by tenants, of whom 1,091,-
900 were white and $4,000 colored.
In the case of cotton farms the pre-
valence of tenancy ran to seventy-one
per cent, and in certain Black Belt re-
gions to eighty per cent and upward.
Due to the agricultural depression of
the nineteen-twenties, the number Of
tenants increased in ten years by
2O0,0 900 through loss Of farms and
otherwise.
Since 1880, according to the report
the Federal limitation of cotton acre
age, the steady decline Of cotton ex-
ports, due to tariff barriers and the
rapid increase of cotton production
abroad, (Which in 1885 promises to ex-
coed that Of the United States,) have
undercut the living of multitudes of
tenant farmers wholly dependent up
on cotton. Others it has cast entire
ly adrift, without access to the land
or other assured means of support.
AS a result millions of people who
normally should be making their living
on the soil have been thrown on re-
lief.
/ The report concludes that the South
is confronted with the necessary
choice between continued crop con-
troll, with subsidies for idle lands and
relief for displaced tenants and labor
ers, or a program Of Government aid
by which multitudes Of tenants may
become self-supporting landowners,
after the example of Ireland, Den
mark, and other countries. 1t seems
bvlou to the committee that to con-
tlnue the present system offers no
hope, and that the latter course will
be not only far better, but also cheap
er in the long run.
The committee is giving all possible
support to a bill introduced in Con-
gress a few days ago by Senator
Bankhead, of Alabama, providing for
a vast government project to restore
tenants to land ownership. This
would be done by selling them land in
small tracts Or by lending them mon
ey to buy, on long time and at low
interest rates. The committee re-
CARDS his proposal as of the greatest
Importance, both for immediate re-
covery and for rebuilding the crumb-
ling economic and social foundations
Of the nation.

A high light Of the session was a

Day Perry. supervisor of county aid.
that the new administration abolish
her office as an economy measure,
but no action was taken. The rec.
ommendation was contained in Mrs.
Perry's first annual report.
Tension arose at one point when
Robert E. Bondy of Edgemoor, appar.
emily irked by accusations by Com
missioner Charles E King that the
Social Service League was Wasteful in
the administration of its funds, de-
clared that "the league would be glad
to turn its welfare duties over to the
commissions if you DESIRE"
Bondy, director of the league, had
appeared before the board in a sue
cessful quest of an ALLEGATION of 81 500
to meet the welfare units obligations
for the current month.
Lyddane Is Counsel.
Two members were named to the
Liquor Control Board with the ap-
pointment of Jack S. Eaton Of Chevy

Election Supervisors during the re-
cent campaign and supported the
Fusion party, was named counsel to
the board
Their salaries were fixed at $500
a year, drastic reduction in the
compensation received by the present
members, whose salaries range from
81 100 to s2400 a year, with 81 400
year for the counsel.
Eaton succeeds Ward w. Cuddington
of Silver Spring. Welsh takes the
place of George P. Sacks of Bethesda,
and Lyddane supplants George P.
Hoover of Chevy Chase. They will
take office next Tuesday.
Additional appointments are expect
ed Tuesday to replace the two other
members of the liquor body, DR.. Ben
janin C. Perry Of Bethesda. chairman,
and Downey NJ Williams Of Laytons-
vile. Walker. by virtue of his Office
as dispensary manager, retains his
place on the board
