jim Crow Hit in Article

Walter Wilson, a white news
paper man and magazine writer
of New York, scores the discri-
mintion against Negro Amer
cans in the army and navy in his
article, "Old jim Grow in Uni
form" appearing in the Feb.
issue of The Crisis magazine.
Mr.. wilson, who has made eX-
hustive studies into world war
records, shows how Negrnes in
the deep south were rounded up
and forced into the army i'm
much greater per centages than
whites from the same neighbour
hoods.
The difficult struggle Negroes
in entering the military academy
at West Point and tn e naval
academy at Annapolis are re-
counted by the writer, who re-
views also the wartime training
camp at Camp Dodge, Iowa.
The most dramatic aspect of
the article is the condensed ac-
count of the resentment of the
oath infantry, stationed at Camp
Logan, at the treatment ac-
corded colored peoppe and mem
bers of the regiment by the
Houston, Texas, police. This re-
sentiment flared into open battle
with the result that Is soldiers
were hanged and the leader of
the revolt committed suicide
rather than surrender.
The whole article raises the
question of the probable treat
ment Of Negroes in the ambitious
program now being projected by
the Roosevelt administration.

Cane Sugar
After seeing a film in Economic
Geography class yesterday telling
and showing how cane sugar is
raised and refined thought that
maybe you would like to know
about it, too.
The cane sugar belongs to the
grass family. 1t usually is ten feet
or mere in height. 1t is planted by
dropping small pieces of cane in
burrows. The cane is cut by hand
and then taken to refineries. The
juice and pulp are separated. The
juice is clarified, sterilized, and
boiled until it crystalizes, it is then
placed in separators, from which
brown sugar and molasses are OBJ

ing cattle.

about how cube sugar is made. 1t
is first nodded into slabs Of about
II inches by 6 inches and is then
first cut one way in strips and then
the other. I have often wondered
how this was dcne but never real
lied it was as simple as this.

OFFICE CORNER

Mr.. Kohl has been expecting Mr..
O. l. Friswald from the State De-
partment of Education to pay
him a visit here at the office this
week. The gentleman who is an
architect is planning to check on
things over at the new senior high
school building. I believe that all
of US (anyway most of us) are
hoping to see the newly construct
ed building very shortly.
THIS n THAT ABOUT SIR. HI.
All eyes were fixed on Mr.. Hunt
ington Tuesday, Oct, 8. When he
very simply and gracefully took
cards from the air and overturned
a glass filled with water without
losing a drop cf the water. During
a brief interview with Mr.. Hunting
ton, he stated that the most i'm
portant qualities of a magician are
ability to speak, patience, a pleas
ing personality, and originality.
To be a magician a person must
possess g. great deal of natural
ability.
The Jr. and Sr. Hi. plus the Jr.
College certainly has volume when
we get together and exercise our
lungs. We showed our ability to
yell Friday morning in the Jr. Hi
assembly. We sent our team off to
Long Prairie with both hope and
spirit. But, fellows, I guess we did
not have enough of either. More
faith, spirit, and harder tackles,
and we will not be defeated again.
Well show Osakis that our boys
can play football.
The Jr. College team really per-
formed a wonderful game Friday
night. The evening being so per-
feet the kids and towns folks
showed a lot of interest. And the
hot dog stand did its part in bring
ing interest and nickels to the
game.
SPORTS
The football squad hasn't had
the perfect attendance which Mr..
Harvey would like to see. We know
football consists of eleven players
but it takes more than eleven to
make q football team. Football to-
day calls for deep reserve to help
carry on the game with the first
team.
