Of Forest Supplies

MISSOULA, Aug 22-Unable to

government supplies from a forest
service fire camp, Robert E. Bahr
of Big Fork was recently commit
ted to the Flathead county jail for
25day period by Justice Eugene
Mccarthy of Kalispell, according to
Regional Forester Evan w. Kelley,
at Missoula.
The theft occurred at the Dead
horse fire camp in the North Fork
of the Flathead country between
August 3 and 8, according to evil
dence presented Bahr, who was
employed as cook at the camp, APP
parently took numerous lots of
canned goods and cached them near

transport them to his home When
apprehended he was being driven
by Phil Peterson, also of Big Fork,
in a coupe with the stolen goods
locked in the rear compartment.
Bahr admitted his guilt, and also
confessed to previous thefts of gov
eminent property. Peterson was
later released after disclaiming
knowledge that he was Transporting
stolen property, which statement
seemed to be corroborated by Bahr.

Ann Sothern, Robert Young
Star in Western Picture

Robert Young goes buckaroo for
his fans in 'Maisie" which opens
Sunday and Monday at the Kootenai
theatre, and the result is as enter
tanning as it is surprising.
Maisie,' although it is set in the
West, is a very modern story that
develops from a comedy situation
when a honky- tonk shoWgirl, strand
ed in Big Horn, Wyoming, meets a
handsome ranch manager and de-
cides to tame him. The tanning in
wolves two other sophisticates, an
Eastern bred ranch owner and his
philandering wife, and between the
four is evolved highly dramatic
situation.
Ann Sothern, featured with
one of the finest performances of
her career as Maisie, the honky-
tonk dancer Ruth Hussey, as the
flirtatious wife of Ian Hunter, play
ing the ranch owner, turns from
straight romantic leads to a decid-
ed heavy and is thoroughly con-
vincing. Hunter, as the husband
who prefers to take his life rather
than lose the love of his wife, gives
a sympathetic performance.
But to Young goes the palm for
his amazing metamorphosis. He
seems as much at home in real
drama as he is in broad comedy
Edwin L. Marin has done a fine
job of directing. He has put real
modern drama in a western setting
and made it convincing indeed. The
story sparkles with smart scenes
and sure fire comedy.
Cliff Edwards and George To-
bias take care of most of the COM
edy moments.

Club Will Feature
Negro History
Mrs. VIM. ]. Hyatt Gives
Review Paper

Since this is Negro History
Week, should like to give the
past year in retrospect. However
let me say, that this is just a few
of the highlights and results.
At the closing of Congress in
1887 the President insisted that
the new Congress dispose of the
Anti-Iynching Bill. The new Con-
gress opened with fight for and
against the bill. Senator Borah
of Idaho, took a vigorous stand to
strike out section five, which pro-
yides for damages for the victims
relatives. This bill finally won
the approval of the House, but
was filibustered to death in the
Senate. Other highlights during
the month of January are 1, the
Dutch Queens refusal to Halle Sc
lassie's plea, saying that relations
with Italy were more vital; 2, the
100000 reward by the State of
New Jersey to the man who dis
covered the body of the Lindbergh
baby; 3, disclosed that a Jim Grow
unit had been set up by the Fed
eral Housing Authority in provid-
ing at Jane Adams Center, a 30
apartment building for Negro ia
miles.
With the entrance of February
came the death of Charles w. An

Race Cooperation
BY Leonard @. Clayton

The other night at our Commit
tee board meeting, the Manager of
one of .Seattle's leading grocery
stores told us point-blanS, in so
many words, that we Negroes as
a group lack race pride. Well, we
hate to hear this from one of the
other groups and we hardly want
to admit it, but looking around us
with broad mind and with intelli-
gent eyes, we quickly see that
what he said was put quite mildly
Hitting person in the mouth be-
cause he make an asperaging re-
mark about us doesn't signify race
pride. What I call race pride is
unselfishly thinking and doing
constructive things so that the
race might profit.
1t is a shame that an intelligent
group of people have to be shown
and forced into race consciousness.
wake up, all of you satisfied
drawbacks, get away from your
little narrow selves and let's help
swing this project"
Through the medium of a little
grocery store on oath and East
Madison Street, that started as a
coop unit, many things are devel-
oping. This entire street is grow
ing and becoming famous as a Ne
gro business section, of which to
be proud.
A small group of unselfish men
and women started this little store
that has been maintained through
their untiring efforts for over a
year, is prospecting.
The idea of making money was
the secondary thought of this
group. But to make a job for a
race man was their idea; with
which they could show other
groups what was being thought by
them and what was going to be
done. One would be surprised how
the other groups have noticed and
felt this little store progress along.

Waiter Operates
Canning Factory

R. H. Cauthorne, waiter on a
dining car running between Wash
ington and Chicago, is also the
president of a successful canning
factory.
Closing of the canneries in 1896
caused distressing conditions am
ong a group of colored families re-
siding in Essex, Middlsex and King
and Queen counties of Virginia.
Many of these farmers depended
almost entirely upon truck crops
and especially upon tomatoes. Low
prices for canned products made it
impossible for canneries in that
area to continue operation. These
farmers appealed to E. v. Breeder,
Community Service Specialist for
the Farm Security Administration
in Virginia.
Under the leadership of r. R.
Cauthorne, plan was worked out
by which this group formed the
Tri-County Canning Association,
Inc. This Association is made up
entirely of Negro members, each
pledged to pay $500 for a mem
bership and to grow a certain a.
creage of tomatoes annually.
The Farm Security Administra-
ton loaned the Association $4,000
The Association leased and began
operating a canning factory at
Montague, Va, during 1886, 1887
and 1888. Under the guiding hand
of Mr.. Cauthorne they have made
favorable progress as a new and
growing enterprise. They have
safeguarded their capital and are
in good financial condition.
Local merchants, growers and
others have given their coopera-
ton and moral support to this AS
ISOLATION.

New Education
Bill To Protect
Negro Children

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
Protection of the rights of Negro
school children is provided for in
the bill introduced by Congress
man William H. Larrabee of In
diana on January 81, to provide
federal funds for education in the
several states.
The bill, H. R. 3517, provides for
an initial sum of $40,000,000 for
the year ending June 80, 1910, with
increased amounts for each subse-
quent year until a maximum of
$140,000,000 annually is reached.
The bill provides for the distribu-
ton of this money among the Sc
veral states for the purpose of
equalizing educational opportuni-
ties.
The Larrabee bill with its COM
panion bill to be introduced in the
Senate by Senators Pat Harrison
and Elmer Thomas, contain the
safeguards necessary for the pro-
lection of Negroes which have been
urged upon congress by the N. A.
A. c. P. since the introduction of
the first federal education bill in
1887. The bill, first introduced,
S. 419, did not provide safeguards
for minority groups. Since that
time the N.A.A.C.P. and the Ma
tional Coordinating Committee for
equitable Distribution of Federal
Aid to Education has been main
tanning a sustained campaign to
amend the federal education bills
to safeguard Negroes.

Italian Wins Grown
From Tiger Jack Fox


Melio Battina's victory over Spo-
kane's Tiger Jack Fox, marks the
dawn of new white hope, pro-
viding one John Henry Lewis is
kept at a safe distance. Winning
from Fox in a technical knockout
in the ninth, Battina had been
more marked up of the two as
the Tiger had cut one of his eyes
and pummeled his face until it was
red.
Fox's peculiar style, coming in
with his arms at his side, afford
ed a good target for the italian
who threw everything he had at
him to defeat a stubborn and much
older fighter.
