F. ID. r. DELEGATES
NEGRO SCHOOL; HITS
SOUTHERN LOW WAGES

Warm Springs, Ga.-President
Roosevelt used the dedication of a
school for the Negro Children of
Warm Springs as forum for an
attack on the low wages paid in
Southern industries and on the need
of increasing the purchasing power
of the nation by regarding the prob
lem as "a national picture"
In his speech, he pointed out that
low wages in the South adversely
affect the workers of both North
and South and that relieving power
ty in one section would react favor
ably in the other.
The whole problem of "the under
nourished, the ill-fed and the i'll
housed" must be tackled from a
national standpoint, he said, in an
indirect allusion to the decisions OF
the Supreme Court invalidating the
Agricultural Adjustment Act. In
that decision majority of the
Court held that problems of farm
ers for the states alone.
Roosevelt's speech was made in
the assembly room of the Eleanor
Roosevelt School House." just
finished by the combined efforts of
the Julius Rosenwald Foundation and
the Works Progress Administration.
Negro visitors at the dedication
were jim in the back of the
room.

TRACK TEAM TO FIRST
I. C. INDOOR VICTORY

New York-Young Ben Johnson OF
Pittsburgh lead his Columbia team
mates to their first indoor Inter-
collegiate Championship last Satur-
day. Of the "a points the Morning
side team amasSed, Ben was response
BILE for ten. Johnson, the first Ne
gro captain of a Columbia University
track team, bagged two titles, win
ming the 60 yard dash and the broad
jump, setting records for both events.
He streaked to victory in the
sprint, a foot ahead of Marty Click
man of Syracuse, who has been
pressing him all season, in :O6.3. The
Lion ace, national indoor champion,
had the race in his grasp from the
crack of the gun until he hit the
tape. His time establishes record
since the distance was run for the
first time at the games.
Later in the afternoon, in two
trial jumps, he leaped % feet 31a
inches, eclipsing his two year stand
ing record and left the other con-
teStantS to scramble for second,
third and fourth places.

NEGROES WIN SPRINTS
AT X. OF C. GAMES

New York Showing form reminis-
cent of the days before he pulled
a tendon in 1885 and was eclipsed
from the Olympic competitions, Eu-
lace Peacock, Temple University
star, scored smashing victory over
Ben johnson of Columbia Univer-
Sity, national and intercollegiate in
door champion, at the Knights OF
Columbus Games at Madison Square
Garden here.
In the sixty-yard special, one of
the attractions of the meet, Negroes
won first, second and third places.
Peacock first, Johnson second and
a newcomer, Roziah Singleton of st.
Augustines College, third in the
time of :064 seconds. Perrin Walk
er, white, of Georgia Tech, trailed
along at fourth.
Peacock appeared as good as he
ever was-which was good enough
to vanquish Jesse Owens-as he sped
over the grey pine boards to victory
in every heat. In the finals, he had
a rousing lift in the getaway and a
furious drive the rest of the route.
1t was the push at the start that
brought him victory over the crack
field of finalists. At twenty yards
he had a six inch margin on john
son.
Young Jim Herbert of NYU was
bested in the famous Casey 600'
by Eddie O'Brien of Syracuse who
has been running him closely all
season. Herbert got pocketed in the
first lap and couldn't break away
until the gun sounded the last lap.
He started a terrific drive, but it
was too late, O'Brien already had
the race sewed up. The time was
1:28.8.
Ed Burke of Marquette, Intercol-
legiate high-jumping champion, won
the high jump with a leap of 6 feet
inches. Cornelius johnson brought
up fourth place with jump of 6
feet inches, second and third places
going to Mel Walker of Ohio State

ARMSTRONG FLATTENS
BELLOISE IN FOURTH


New York.-Henry Armstrong,
dynamite keg from the West blew
into Madison Square Garden last
Saturday and flattened Mike Belloise,
white, in the fourth round of a
scheduled ten-round featherweight
bout.
This is the second time the coy
Belloise has taken a licking at the
hands of Armstrong. Several
months ago the belligerent torrent
from the West gave him decisive
shellacking in Frisco.
Technically Belloise is still the
champ despite the two bad shellack-
ings. The official explanation, that
in neither case had the men con-
tracted to fight for the champion
ship" doesn't hold water with the
$4,000 fans who packed the Garden
to see the fight, however.

MECHANICAL COW

A MECHANICAL COW
Now it is the mechanical COW"
But not the kind that can take
green grass and turn it into white
milk and yellow butter, for the me-
chanical COW works backward. She
is fed butter, powdered milk and
water, and in forty-five minutes
she turns out cream for your cof-
fee. After she is fed there are In
ternal rumblings, for she hasn't any
muffler on her cud. When the cud-
chewing drops to a gentle purr then
by turning a spigot one can get
any grade Of cream desired. But
cow owners around Kennewick have
nothing to fear from this new In
vention, because 1t will not pro-
duce without first being fed on but
ter and old Bossy will still have to
stay on the job to provide that. TO
get butter this mechanical COW
must depend on the flesh-and-cud
COW, so its arrival promises to add
to the value Of dairy herds instead
of diminishing it. At any rate, it
would not be advisable for anyone
to try holding his breath until the
mechanical cow replaces the good.
old-fashioned breed we have 50
long depended upon.

WHY TAKE A CHANCE?


With nationwide epidemic of
"flu' second only in seriousness to
the one which swept over the coun-
try in 1918, 1t is difficult to under
stand why anyone around Kenne-
wick will neglect common cold.
For "flu" invariably makes its ap-
proach with the same symptoms
that mark a cold. It seems little
short Of silly to allow a cold to gain
Roadway when 1t Is possible to Sc
cure relief in a remarkably short
time. The family doctor will, as q
rule, prescribe q day or so in bed,
and when one considers that It IS
a small inconvenience when COM
pared with what may result II you
do not 60 to bed, the wisdom Of
such advice is apparent. The dam
ger line for common colds is not
here yet. In fact, no graver danger
from them exists than during the
month Of February. But by care
full attention to food and clothing
and temperatures they can be
avoided, and careful, quick treat
ment in the event you contract one
will always prove both wise and
effective.

ASSOCIATION POINTS WAY

But for the work of the Ever.
green Playground Association, the
state of Washington would not
be enjoying very much tourist bus
mess. This organization has been
leader in developing an interest in
the Northwest as recreational
center.
Other agencies, such as the
Northwest Tourist Association and
the Rainier National Park Co., have
rendered valuable service, but the
Evergreen Association has been in
the lead in the expenditure of
money. -. E@za..
The Evergreen Association has
directed its campaign only to Cal
ifornia residents. That is why we see
so many California cars in WASH
ington during the summer months.
California cars haven't just hap
pened to come up here during the
summer, the advertising program
carried on by the Evergreen Asso-
citation has brought them here.
This fine organization hasn't the
funds to carry on national pub
licity campaign. That is the rea-
son the state legislature should give
this matter some real attention at
its present session.
The Evergreen Association has
proved that splendid results can be
obtained from such a program, and
the state should now step in with
real program adequately financed,
one that will give the message to
the entire nation which the Ever
green Association has SO efficiently
given to one state.
Our state could make no better
business investment than one which
would make an active bid in the
name of Washington, for a share of
the growing tourist industry.

LET'S KEEP OUT


There are many indications that
1887 will be marked by important
events in world history. With scowl-
ing European powers seeking ex-
cuses to leap at one another's
Threats. we can't but expect war
before the year has ended. But
the people Of this country, know
ing that war is an expensive and
wholly inexcusable business, will
do all in their power to keep out Of
the squabble, should it come. Well
do all of us remember that huge do
nation of twelve billion dollars that
we made to the world during the
last war. Although we will never
get the money back, the experience
Is worth a lot If it enables us to
stay out Of another one. Though
we may never collect from the
European powers we can, as a ma
ton, consider our foolhardiness of
20 years ago, accept it as warning
to mind our own business" and
let the hot-headed nations of the
old world do the same thing with
out any advice or help from us.

A FARM INVENTORY

Practically every business in the
commercial world takes an inven-
tory at least once a year, many
quarterly and not a few every
month. Good managers would not
think of trying to do business with
out such a check-up.
Farming is a business. In fact,
it is a rather complex business, and
an annual inventory is just as val
liable, and should be considered
just as necessary as it is to any
other business. Right now, before
the start of another busy farming
season, would be very appropri-
ate time for farmers around Ken
newick to give the subject their at
tentiOn. d.. .-.-.y. 49,. d"
Take stock of your personal and
real property, your livestock, hay,
grain, implements and equipment
of all kinds. List the money you
may have in bank and all out
standing debts that may be due
you. Balance this against what
ever obligations you may have, and
thus determine exactly where you
stand from a financial standpoint
before starting on another crop
year. Later on you will find COM
parison of inventories helpful in de-
Gliding which projects are most
profitable. Every farm, the same
as any other type of business,
should be conducted along sys-
tematic, regulated methods. It is
not only helpful, but is essential If
the farm is successfully operated.
The farmer who keeps books" has
a much firmer hold on his affairs
than the one who doesn't. And
those who make it a rule to take
q yearly inventory are less apt to
find themselves going into the hole.

Senate Bill No. PAP contains the


most important legislation which
will be presented during the pres
ent session. 1t was introduced on
executive request by the Rules Com
mittee and is the Labor Relations
Legislation referred to by Govern
or Martin in his inaugural message.
This bill will create the Washing
ton State Industrial Labor Tribunal
consisting of three ms rlbers ap-
pointed by the governor and give
them wide powers in labor disputes.
Unlike most bills of this character,
Governor Martin has made pro-
gressive departure and this act is
drawn from the standpoint of pro-
tecting the majority of the people
affected by strikes and lockouts,
and l.ot from the point of view Of
those comparatively few people who
are directly responsible for the con-
ditions which the bill seeks to cor
rect and whose motive for settle
ment must of necessity be the fl
nanical advantage Of either one side
or the other to the controversy. The
act specifically defines strikes and
lockouts and provides that the tri-
bunal offer its services as a board
of arbitration. If the parties to
the dispute fail to accept this Of
fer or fail to settle the dispute,
then the board may proceed with
mediation and Cancellation to at
tempt a fair settlement of the dis
pute. If the board is unable to
mediate the dispute, it may then
formally intervene for the purpose
of investigating and finding the
facts. The bill provides truce in
terval of thirty days during which
time it is unlawful to call either a
strike or a lockout of employees.
So far as known, Governor Mar
tin must be given credit for having
introduced the first labor concilia-
ton and mediation bill which is
drawn to protect the general public
against both organized labor and
employers. If this bill
passes, and the prediction now is
that it will pass, it may be rightly
be called the most progressive labor
legislation ever enacted in the U.
S., and to our Governor and the
of this state will 60 the
credit for having effectively put an
end to "racketeering" on the part OF
both organized employers and or
gained employees in the State Of
Washington. Citizens Of this state
can do no greater service to the
state than by commencing the
Governor for the introduction Of
this bill and urging their represent
atives to vote for its passage.
