dens, 765 had one or more cows, and
791 had sufficient feed for their live
stock.
The second survey, made a few
weeks ago, revealed that 1,161 had
poultry flocks, 1857 had hogs, 1,O29
had gardens and 888 had feed for
their livestock. It shows definitely
that Negro farmers are about to do
their full part in helping to win the
war.
BY the way, have you joined the
fat-saving campaign? You know fat,
or grease maks glycerine, and glyce-
rine makes gunpowder. It is said
housewives waste enough fat every
year to make 200 million pounds of
glycerine.
| Well, the Departments Extension
Service, in cooperation with the War
Production Board, is arranging with
meat dealers to receive waste fat.
So housewives can play an important
part in hlping to meet the Nations
glycerine needs by taking their sur
plus fat to the nearest meat dealer
or freeze-locker plant. The dealer
will pay for it at the rate of few
cents apound, but don't take less than
pound at a time.
And here are some more dom is.
Don't take your fat in a glass con-
tainer, don't hold it until it becomes
rancid, and don't take it to the deal
er on Week-ends. It's also import
ant that housewives conserve fats, u.s.
ing it over and over so that they'll
have to buy less.
While we are talking about saving,
let's turn to some important foods
meat, eggs, milk. You must watch
them closely during these hot sum-
mer days in order to guard against
waste. To keep them over day,
you need refrigerator, or another
very cold storage space. If you have
neither, don't keep on hand any more
of these foods than you cam use dur
ing a day.
Better take care of your paint
brush, because you may have diff
Guilty these days buying another. If
your old brush is stiff, don't throw
] If awav. Soak it overnight in paint
thinner, or in gasoline or turpen-
time, the Bureau of Agricultural
Chemistry and Engineering suggests:
Shellac brushes should be cleaned
with alcohol, and whiteWash and cal
Gimme brushes with water. Now
here's another tip; never let your
| brush hest on the ends of the bris-
ties for more than few hours, or
! it will become warped and the flow
of paint will be uneven.

JUNIOR BEAUTY
BY Sister Dottye

Every young girl wants a lovely
complexion, for lovely skin is the
very foundation of beauty. Of what
advantage will beautiful eyes, a
lovely nose, a provocative mouth, if
the skin is dull and sallow? How
often have you heard it said, "She
would be lovely if she had a good
skim"
First, to have beautiful skin,
use a good skin SOAP washing your
face well in warm water. Very
young girls should use no makeup
and older girls very, very little. If
makeup is used, wash your face we'll
and you may use good night cream
before retiring. A correct diet and
plenty of exercise, as well as plenty
of clean water, inside and outside will
do much to make your complexion
lovely.

FLAG.
One hundred and sixty years ago
this country had been settled only
along it's Eastern coast. There were
thirteen colonies governed by Great
Britain. But the colonists thought
that Great Britain did not govenrn
them justly so they declared them
selves free and fought to establish
their independence.
The flag is a symbol, just as the
cross is a symbol of Christian relig-
ion. OF course the colonists needed
new flag, so the colonial Congress
decided on June Ia, 1777 to have one,
We do not know exactly who de-
signed the new flag; but there are
many people who believe that the
first stars and stripes were made
by Mrs. Elizabeth Ross (known as
Betty Ross) who lived in Philadel-

lowed the suggestion given her by
General Washington. At first Con

WEST LONG BRANCH, N. j.,
June 18.-Arthur Pryor, II, noted
bandmaster and composer to whose
martial airs millions of Americans
marched, died at S am. today in his

Mr.. Pryor suffered a stroke two
days ago. He emerged from retire

His most famous composition was

Son of a bandmaster, Samuel
Pryor. Mr.. Pryor rose to interna-
tional renown as trombonist in the
band of John Philip Sousa. He esti-
mated once that he played 10000
solos while with Sousa. He founded
his own band later and composed
$50 marches and other tunes.

On one occasion a German Army
trombonist who heard him said: mo

and orchestra leader, was his son.
Other survivors are his wife, Maud
Russell Pryor; another son, Arthur,

Mr.. Pryor, who was born in st.
Joseph, Mo-, September %, 1870,
but finally settled down in West
Long Branch, once called jazz the
parasite of music" but he admitted
it was all right for dancing.
Mr.. Pryor was playing in the
Rocky Mountain section of the coun-
try when Sousa heard of him. He
baked at first in going to New York
to join the bandmaster, but finally
accepted, arriving with his from

Armed Factions Faced.
Long had taken power after
power away from Mr.. Wa,msley by
series of laws passed in extra ses-
sions of the Legislature, and on
July l. 1896, Mr. Walmsley fulfilled
his promise to resign If the Legis-
lature restored home rule to the
city.
BY far the most memorable cam
paign of the two occurred in the
Democratic congressional primaries
of 1884, when Long, supported by
$500 State troopers armed with ma
chine guns. barricaded the registra-
tion records in city hall annex. Mr.
WalmSley countered Immediately by
moving 100 policemen into city hall,
separated from the guardsmen only
by narrow street. For more than a
month before the primary the two
factions stood out against each other
with loaded guns, but there was no
disorder.
Long held the trooper-guarded
registration records throughout the
registration and two days before the
primary both sides agreed to truce
No troopers or armed policemen
stood at the polls, at which Longs
candidates were successful by wide
margin.
Long Custer Failed Once.
Mr. Walmsley defeated the Long
candidate for Mayor of New Orleans
by $1,000 votes in 1884. and Long
countered with several moves of at
triton. He sought the custer of the
Mayor for not reducing electric light
rates and he sought it again for the
Mayors alleged failure to clean up
vice. Both were unsuccessful. To
the latter Mr.. Walmsley responded
by hanging up For rent" signs on
most of the city's underworld
haunts. -'
Mr.. Walmsley came to Washing

pointed inspector general of civilian

then OCD director. He held the
post, despite several offers to resign,
until last February 19, when the
office was abolished.
He remained on the OCD payroll

over as director, but drew his pay

Mr.. Walmsley, a tall, jovial, bald

out a program of aid. He indicated
that the facilities of the parochial
school gymnasium, which have been
used by the center in the past, will

Francis McPeek, Federation of

welfare work in the community be

Mrs. Henderson said she and
Joseph Heaston, boys activities

their work as possible on volun-

the procuring of volunteer workers
to head the various groups would be
the chief problem.
The Temple Center was supported
since its start in 1888 largely by an
annual contribution of $4,000 from
the budget of the Chevy Chase Pres
byterian Church. In 1910, the CAL
