THE MESS LINE

After leaving Veterans we drove
around the grounds of the Old Sol
diers' Home. Our "boys" were not
about and fearing they might return
yupping them up, we drove on Don't
want to be embarrassed in front of our
guests. 1t was near supper time Hope
they are all well-if they are-they are
happy. Little old rascals.
Mrs Dorothy M. Wilson.
The above is an extract from a re-
port in the Public Service Bureau
Minneapolis Spokesman, September 8
1887.
There is no one who appreciates any
effort on the part of any or all individ-
uals, to promote the public welfare and
happiness, than do the veterans them
selves.
Veterans are as rule a hardy
though tolerant lot, and while they
have always managed to take care of
themselves in a fairly decent manner
they have not looked askance at the
misdirected efforts of some of their ap-
parent we'll wishers that characterizes
most of the other district groups.
Why these purveys of assistance
eventually drop to the ridiculous after
they have about run their string out rs
one of the physiological mysteries of
human endeavor. So with Mrs. Will
son.
We have noticed her articles from
time to time mentioned something
missing to make the Negro Veterans
lot happier one.
We take this opportunity to spike
that, for the veteran has never been
neglected, since Service Officers were
created in Veterans organizations.
We recall one complaint particularly,
in which she stated the veterans suffer-
ed from lack of reading matter. APP
parently she did not take time enough
to look around and see the library full
of books and magazines at Veterans

Foreign Youths
Seek Correspondents

The names and addresses of over sou
young Europeans who wish to lex.
change letters and ideas with young
American Negroes were brought to the
United States last week by Dean H
NJ. Smith, who arrived in New York
City on the "Normandie," flagship Of
the French Line, after three month
lecture tour of Europe.
"In each city l visited, l found a
group of people intensely curious tc
know more about the American Ne.
gro. They have heard and read much
about us. But they are very anxious
for direct personal contact. Scores OF
them gave their names and addresses
and asked that when | returned to
America | would have some young
Colored person of similar ideas and in
terests write them In this way in diff
ferent parts of England, France, Ger
many and Switzerland l gathered these
names and addresses"
Dean Smith also said 81 think this
exchange of letters and friendship can
become in the hands of the right kim.
of people most effective weapon for
destroying false notions about Negroes
which many prejudiced white Ameri-
cans have been busy spreading over
Europe in recent years"
Young people who are interested in
this inter-racial and international cor
respondence are asked to write to
Dean H. NJ Smith, Executive Secre-
tary, Friends of Social Justice, Gener
al Post Office, Box 288, New York, N.
Y. This organization while counting
many white persons among its sup
porters, is primarily concerned with
the struggle colored people face in
America in their fight for equal rights
and square deal.

wenzei Sets Quail Season for Five
Southeastern Counties

A nitie-day pheasant season from
October l6 to 2, inclusive, for 81 coiin-
ties in the southern and central por-
tons of the state and nine-day quail
season from October 80 to November
for FIVE counties in the extreme cor
ner of the state were announced last
week by Herman c. Wenzel Commits
sioner of Conservation.
Shooting will be allowed from Il
o'clock noon each day until 5 P. M. in
stead of until shutdown as in former
seasons. Commissioner Wenzel said
the o'clock deadline was decided upon
because of the Confusion" caused by
the shutdown closing regulation. Many
hunters unintentionally violated the law
under the old ruling, he said
There will be no open season on
prairie chicken, ruffed grouse, sharptail
grouse, mourning doves, woodcock, and
chukar cartridges.
The daily bag limit for pheasants is
three cocks, or two cocks and one hen
the possession limit is FIVE cocks, or
four cocks and one hen; the season
limit is ten cocks, or eight cocks and
two hens.
For quail, the daily limit is six, with
a possession limit of twelve, and sea-
son limit of eighteen.
Indications point to shortage of
pheasants in some localities" Commits
sioner Wenzel said. "The questionnaires
we sent out in few cases recommend
ed closed pheasant seasons for certain
counties.
However, we felt it was impractical
to leave few counties closed in the
southern portion of Minnesota, as it
would tend to concentrate shoo,ng III
the open areas with a resultant heavy
toll"
Wenze1 said an open season on
grouse had been recommended for a
few counties, but that it was consid-
cred advisable to leave the season clos
ed for another year to give the birds a
chance to recover more fully.
Wenzel emphasized that the pleas
ant and quail season were set after TAX
ing the average of recommendations
made by sportsmen's clubs and game
wardens in response to missionaries
sent out by the department.
Pheasants may be taken in: season
in the following counties: Traverse,
Grant, Douglas, Big Stone, Stevens,
Pope, Stearns, Shorburne, Swift, Kan
diyohi, Meeker, Wright, Hennepin,
Anoka, Lac Qui Parle, Washing
ton, Chippewa, Yellow Medicine, Ron

Catholics to Honor Negro

Catholics throughout the nation will
on September 10 hold a religious ser
vice in honor of Martin de PORES, q
colored lay brother of the Dominican
Order, who established the first Cath.
Ollie schools and orphanages in thu
western hemisphere.
Born more than 800 years ago il
Lima, Peru, of Spanish father ana .
free Negro mother of Panama, he left
an indelible mark on his native land
Long before there were any schools and
orphanages for the poor in other Cath
Ollie centers, he established them in Ii
ma without regard for race and color
These are still hourishing, the oldest
charitable institutions in the world
His charity, religious zeal and marvel
Our life were such that after the most
exacting scrutiny by the church, he was
proclaimed Blessed September 10, 1887.
In recent years there has been a
great renewal of interest in BLESSED
Martin. Significantly this has been
more on the part of white Catholics
than among their colored brethren
This interest has resulted in a rapidly
growing conviction that christianity can
not be reconcied with racial discrim-
nation Throughout the country, Cath
Ole organizations have sprung up, un-
der the patronage at Blessed Martin
which are resolved to apply Christian
principles to inter-racial problems.
In the metropolitan area services will
be held September 1912 at the Blue
Chapel, Union City, N. J., where there
is beautiful shrine These services
will be under the patronage of the
Most Rev. Thomas ]. Walsh, bishop OF
Newark. Other bishops and some OF
the outstanding preachers of America
will be heard. Services will also be
held in numerous churches in other
parts of the country.
The above information was contained
in a release from the Blessed Martin
Centennial and is indicative of the
trend among Catholics to give more
consideration to the Negro and inter
racial problems. The Roman Catho-
lie Church is one of the great organ
izations of the world and if they would
adopt and follow constructive inter
racial policy, many smaller organiza'

Shortly after the bus had departed, Altman appeared on the scene with Q suit case and q blanket roll.

The local WPA band may be gone, or almost gone, but facts indicate that the melody fingers on. And judging from tho nature of these revelations the melody isn't c sweet one.
 Money in the bank, large and numerous automobiles, the high est local WPA pay rates and subsequently the shortest work ing hours, jobs during "spare time" with local and out-of-town .or- chestras and some interesting facts in connection with union and non-union musicians are some of the points which seem to prove that the word racket" used by Rev. Patrick Flynn of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church on July 2i, lo38 in describing the WpA band might well be regarded as on un- derstatement.
 Tn Che Bank
 Two days ago 1t was reported at the department of welfare that three WPA bank accounts had been discovered. Since then The Democrat has learned that one of these, one which amounted either to S2,000 or to $3,600, was A "trifle" which helped support & man who was in the band.
 And 1t has been common talk for some time 1t seems, that sev- eral former members Of the band which now only numbers nine mu- sicians, were doing pretty well in the ren.a- -car business.
 Further information brought to light in connection with some hysterical shouts about the "in- justice" and discrimination" of cutting 24 men from the local band roster sofne ten days ago shows that those in actual need of relief have been offered other WPA openings but have not considered them. It was pointed out that the openings have been few In number. Also, that WPA band musicians in need of relief are very few in number.

 Members of the focal "artist" group were paid, it has been learned, ct Q rate of approxi- mately Si.36 per hous This was q pretty fair rate in the minds of most people who first learned Of the fact. Regarded by the other WPA workers who had to work about two hours in . more laborious fashion for each hour. the band worked it was an injust rate. The men in the band, 1t Is

true, didn't make any more money but their work periods were cut in half, giving them more time for "extra- -curricular" activities. Last year about this time, Rev. Patrick Flynn issued Q statement that from all items he had been able to observe since his arrival in Waterbury q few weeks previous to July 2i, 1886, the WPA band appeared to be racket. Shortly after this he was prevailed on to temper his words, though there was any number of persons at the time who agreed with, him. The latest bits of information which have worked outwards to the surface of the whole mysterious tumble since It's almost complete demise about Q week ago indicate that the local priests words were true.
 Needed Relief
 At the present time in local re- lief circles there Is no doubt of this sentiment: "The band has folded up-so whatl Some of the men were on relief and needed 1t and 1t Is indeed unfortunate that the majority of the men who were not were s well off.
