Child's Inquiring Mind
Inspires Editorial

The inquiring mind Of little Liz
Ian 7vonne Lee inspired ap edi-
torial writer of the Morning Ore
gonian to pen the editorial below.
Little Miss Lee is the daughter Of
Mrs. Effie johnson Lee. The edi-
torial:
HIS MAIDEN NAME IS JAKE
Boots" IS a little Negro girl liv-
ing IN southwest Portland. She
has another name. of course; one
she has to remember to answer to
in school, one of more dignity. If
not distinctiveness. But what, it
may be inquired. does a can free
little Negro girl, under all ;Tdin-
airy circumstances. need with dig
nifty? Boots she is to all her
friends; it IS name aplenty for
them; and the longer she can re-
main Boots. the luelSier she viii be.
Boots has pet duck, or, to
speak more accurately, a pet
drake. His name is Jake-it IL
his maiden name, Boots explains.
Last Easter Jake was just a fluffy
little BAN of down. twittering in
bewilderment when ne was passed
from hand to hand as a part of
one of the hard-to-explain customs
of the season. Jake was an es-
pecially lucky duclling, falling, as
he did, into the possession of
Boots; he has lived the life of a
duck Riley. ever since. He is a
big fellow. now, and the object of
much attention, to say nothing of
affection.
Not long ago, Boots mother was
startled in the middle of the night
by an cutlery from the bed of her
small daughter. "Mamal Mamar'
she heard. Mama. wake up! I
want to ask you something. Mama,
what is going to happen to Jake
on the judgment day."
The mother, of course. could not
say what is going to be done about
Jake on that important occasion.
She doesn't know. Nor. it must
be confessed, do we. Do you ?
Does anybody know what is going
to happen to all the Jales. Shops,
Old Charles. Kitties. Dicky Canar-
les, ct cetera, on judgment day?
Boots was admonished to shut
her eyes and go back to sleep,
leaving the question to be ans
wered at some later time, perhaps
on judgment day itself. Jake, out
side in his pen, heard the colloquy,
and raised his voice loudly about
it. Maybe he knows the answer
and was trying to tell it. But the
neighbors just remarked: Just
listen to that duck OF Boots's,
quackin' fit to raise the dead!o

leading a band of other home
seeking pilgrims. The party, COM
prising four white families and
one colored. arrived in the terri
tory of Washington sometime in
"A. The Bush family settled in
what became known later as
Bush Prairie. The first year he
EARNED and raised livestock. The
following year he built a lumber
mill and a grainery. In 1850, the
government turned down his claim
to the land which he had culti-
waited. on the grounds that, no
man through whose veins there
coursed a drop of African blood
could become a homesteader Of
Uncle Sans" Influential and loyal
friends, whom he had at some time
or other befriended, came to his
aid, besieging Congress with petit
tons to pass a law giving to all
persons who had settled In the
territory prior to 1850 all the
rights of the homestead law. The
bill was passed and signed by the
president Shortly, thereafter, Con-
gress granted Bush six hundred
and forty acres. Death came to
this black trail-blaser in 1868. His
son, George. became president Of
the Washington Industrial Associ-
alton.
Like his predecessor, George
Bush, came another Negro, George
Washington, at the head of a band
of white homesteaders. Not be-
ing in the territory prior to 1850
he was refused a claim. He
promptly prevailed upon one of
his friends to homestead him
strip of land, ana after proof had
been definitely established, he pur-
chased the same land for two
thousand eight hundred dollars.
Lick smiled upon him when the
Northern Pacific railroad, which
began to extend its roadbed from
Tilcoma to Portland, passed direct
ly through his farm Through
sheer artifice of his own, Wash
ington made generous terms with
the company and the company
gave him a town-site, which grew
into the present city Of Centralia.
Washington became one of the
wealthiest men in the state.
Meanwhile, another Negro and
his wife took up a homestead in
Centralia and sold off very valu-
able property to business interests.
They endowed Baptist seminary
with eight acres of land, the valu-
alton of which was estimated at
ten thousand dollars. This stroke
of philanthrophy was the means
of the city getting one of the fin
est schools in the state.
Somewhere in the fifties,
handful of colored men got to-
gether and collectively bought a
large tract of land near Tacoma
and Seattle. The whites referred
to this tract as niger tract.
This land, however, became inn
mensely valuable. Tie first hotel
keepers in Olympia were Negroes,
the Towards. The names of Presi-
dents Grant, Hayes and Arthur
were registered in their guest
book 1t the time of their de-
mise, this couple had acCumu-
lated over a hundred thousand
dollars in property and savings. In
Yakima county, there was a colony
of twenty colored families, each
owning one hundred and sixty
acres. The valuation placed on
each acre amounted to fifty dol
lars.

POUNDS OF FAT
SafeIy-ComfortabIy

like to be, not as active, healthy
and keen in mind-you owe it to
yourself to get rid of that fat
don't delay.
And here's a method you can depend
on to reduce surplus fat SAFELY and
SANELY-just take half teaspoonful
Of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot
water first thing every morning and cut
down on fat meats. butter, cream and
sugary sweets-before you realize it ex-
cess fat starts to disappear-keep 1t up
every day without fail and in q few
weeks you should not only note great
improvement in figure but in your
health as well.
Kruschen is a superb blend of sep
arate mineral salts-it's wonderful to
help kidneys, liver, gall bladder and
bowels function properly. Jar lasts
weeks and costs but few cents.

On At VoIgo
Bootmon
BY FRANCOIS

Friends and food have some
thing very much in common. A
genuine friend like good food is
appreciated long after the first ef-
fectS of meeting melt away.
There's romance in food as we
pointed out last week in reference
to the traditional "shaShlich" pre-
pared and eaten by Russians the
world over. Today we take you
over the wine trails to describe
just how the famous Planters
Punch" cocktail favorite, is mixed
and served in such a refreshing
manner at the city's leading ex-
ponent of this concoction, the
Shoreham Cocktail Lounge.
Strictly Southern drink that
has somehow invaded the liquor
menus of Northern cOnnOisSeurs,
Planters Punch" originated on
the semi-tropical isle of Jamaica
in the West Indies where the
highest quality of runs comes
from. John, the maSterful bar
tender at the ShOreham, makes
his mixture with the juice of a
quarter of a lemon, the juice of
a quarter of an orange, two
ounces of Myers Jamaica Rum,
and grenadine in proportion to
the sweetening desired.
The foregoing ingredients are
shaken in cracked ice, and then
served with a garnishing of
fresh fruits, either pineapple,
orange, or cherry. An important
essential is to leave the cracked
ice in the glass. An added
nicely featured at the Shoreham
is the placing of diminutive UNI
brellaS above the miniature ice
berg effect of the long, cool and
sparkling glass.
This beverage, while especially
comforting to the perSpiring m
dividual during the hot summer,
makes an admirable cocktail at
any season or for any occasion.
