There seems to be only one valid
conclusion, and that is that the
canning companies are taking
advantage of farmers, workers
and consumers. They are prof

1912 THANKSGIVING

The press has reported that
President Roosevelt will proclaim
Thanksgiving Day in 1912 as
the last Thursday in November,
the traditional date. However,
this year, the date will be the
third Thursday, as earlier an
nounced. The President gives as
his reason for the 1912 change
that the earlier Thanksgiving
date has little effect on sales.

The RaincroW

Sometimes when earth is dryly parched
And leafy trees hang stless
When faithful dew has laved our hearts
Yet much need is with US
We the water in the we'll
And conjure up a long "dry spell"
Then modest raincrow calls out gravey
From high up the window ledge.
And as his "coo coo coo" brings his pledge
Our hearts respond in thankfulness
Since faith his quilts has us,
SO with the rancrow lies our fate
We tip-toe to the garden gate
To view the rills the rain will make
When-this rain descends promised.
But does it come? No! Mercy on us!
And we lose our faith in raincrows.

who, running wide around right
end, scored Ypsis only touchdown.

touchdown. Harmon's pass, in
tended for Moffett. was intercept
ed on the one yard line by Right
Halfback r. Spicer, who gallowed
SO yards, untouched, to score for
Howell. Standings pass to Grams

This then is the man who will shortly take his

Strangely the nominations of Justice Harlan

General Robert F. Jackson as associate Justice,

Conditions In k,a
Nations Capital

WASHINGTON, D. CLAMP
Now that Mr.. Roosevelt has issued
his, proclamation, to defense indus
tries, certain groups in the city are
advising him to- turn his attention
to the unhealthy condition existing
in the departments right at hand,
where Negroes are openly discrlml-
mated against and refused employ
ment in the government itself.
fMr. Roosevelt just made a swap, p"
one government Official said, off the
record, making this statement 10
defense industry and then naming
Sen. Byrnes to the supreme court IN
he face of the protests which
have filtered into his office.
However, he can remedy matters
greatly by sending the same KIND
and a stronger message to the de-
naFtments which actually come un-
der his control, the departments
which refuse to hire Negroes in any
caracity other than as messengers
etc.
Should Mr.. Roosevelt feel con-
strained to do this, he will set an
example whereby industry, capital
and labor cannot point an accusing
finger and declare that they are
merely following the dictates and
attitudes of the government itself. .
While it is true that some prog
ress is being made along this line,
the rate of increase of Negro en-
ployes has been very slow and not
in keeping with the terrific rate OF
employment given other groups.
