You can get that song COM
plete-Words and music-by writ
ing to Lee Hays at Peoples Songs,
1870 w. And Street, New York,
It's a good song to sing at meet
ings Of Negro voters clubs and
a good song to make you feel
better when Old John Rankin
himself crates about a Southern
civilization that won't exist I'M
til we chop down that Rankin
tree which is the dying Old
South
When Brother Lee Hays was
only five years old, the child of
a white sharecropper down there
in East Arkansas, he saw the
massacre of the Elaine Negroes
who, in their day, took up axes to
chop down that Rankin tree.
But the axe they used wasn't
sharp enough even if id did cash
up that Rankin tree. And the
grindstone was too rough for the
black troopers of Elaine to full
fill what the Lord had laid upon
them in His own words-that
the axe is laid unto the root of
the trees: therefore every tree
which bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down and cast into
the fire"
1t takes hard, tempered axe
to chop down hard, tempered
tree like that Rankin tree. 1t
takes two men, it takes a white
man and it takes a black man, to
swing that axe which won't work
for one man. 1t takes a grind
stone, oiled up with the sweat of
both men, or the axe will break
in your hand when you go forth
to chop down the Rankin tree.
The Axe Swings Deep
Now, we've got that kind of an
axe which has already swung
dep and cut hard into the poison
say of that cussed, plagued tree.
It's oiled sharp with the sweat
of Brother William Bradley,
black mill worker who serves as
secretary Of his Go local in
Chattanooga, Tenn. It's oiled for
the chopping with the sweat of
Brother j. B. Davis, a white CIO
worker in Miami, Fla,
who tells me that he's stopped
about being a Southern
err until the South drops its racial
set-up and builds a human set
up"
We've got to keep that axe
sharp, keep it swinging in the
hands of black men and white
men, to chop down that Rankin
tree at its roofing roots

THE LIVING SOUTH
BY HAROLD PREECE
Copyright. 1916. by New South Features


Now reckon that all over, the people
of Dixie are sharpening up their axes to
chop down what my friend, Brother Lee
Hays, the Arkansas guitar picker, calls
THAT Rankin tree"
And | reckon that one of the axes,
ground sharp on the rocks that crushed
us, is the CLIO.
Now, as Brother Lee Hays from Ark
ansas says in his song that warns up
our souls, "the Rankin tree grew SO big
that it hid the sun for miles around"
at poisoned my potatoes, it poisoned
my squash,
It widowed all of my Monday wash.

I. VI have been married for
almost nine years, We have two
children. We have been separat-
ed about six times. We went
back together in January but I
am positive that she does not love
me from the treatment l get
and from her actions. Answer in
the paper real quick.
Ans: For one thing you have
the wrong attitude. You continue
to think that you are picked on
and pecked at by your wife
You're no saint yourself and you
know it. You fuss and fume and
nag at your wife until she just
has to get out of the house and
away from you. My advice then
is to examine your conscience and
see what you can do on your own
to make your Wife's life in your
home happy and troublefree Do
your part and she will make you
a loving wife and mother.

to waste time with her type.
c. M. HI am 26 years old.

married man. He says he
wants to divorce his wife and
marry me but he can't find no
excuse. What shall l do?
Ans: Here's what you do. In
vite him over to the house soon.
Have him sit down at the table
and make himself comfortable.
Then get you a good, big frying
pan, walk up behind him and
bounce it off his head Seriously
can't you see he is playing you
for a good deal. Certainly he
can't find an excuse for a di-
vorce, let him just mention it
and his wife will beat the socks
off him. The place for you is
back with your husband mother
ing your two small children.
M. B.-I met a man from Chi
cago four months ago and he
asked me to marry him. In the
meantime his brothers girl
friend put a lot of nonsense in

mother also helped poison his
mind. This mother is supposed TO
be saved woman and | don't
understand it. What should |
do?

so that his naturalist students can,
In turn, explain them to the con-

Ten years ago, student Journalist

Nearly 100000 in the District have

The idea of student leadership,
one OF the most outstanding of the
many nature study projects which
Mr.. McHenry has initiated, came
about through his inability to comply
with the requests which began pour
ing in from school children and
their teachers for conducted nature

|McHenry Leaves Enthusiasm
For Nature Well Established
By Jessie. Font Eyons

for his concept of having their pupils
carry the story of the out-of- doors
to each other. They are enthusiastic,
too, about it's value in helping to
combat juvenile delinquency.
Scientists Seek His Aid.
Men of science also have put their
stamp of approval on the plan. In
1914, a group of leading scientists
representing Science Service, the
Washington Academy OF Sciences,
the Smithsonian Institution. direc-
tors of science departments OF public
and private schools invited Mr.. Nc
Henry to undertake the organization
of the science pupils in the Sec
ondary schools here into Wash
ington Junior Academy of Science.
A Junior Biological Society was
organized as the first step toward
carrying out this plan and is now
currently working on it.
The program of Audubon Junior
Clubs also has grown to include
26 clubs, with a total membership
of more than 500 grade-school
children.
Outstanding, too, were Mr.. Nc
Henry's nature interpretative pro-
grams for the war-sWollen popula-
ton of this city. Letters of appre-
citation are coming into his Office
today from all over the United
States and many foreign countries
for the inspiration they afforded.
Program Expands.
While the work with children and
youth groups has continued to
receive emphasis, the program has
expanded into much broader one
than was originally intended. School
teachers, parents and citizens gen.
orally, who wanted to know more
about the movement, expressed their
interest. So did Boy and Girl Scout
and Camp Fire Girl leaders and
camp directors. This led to the
setting up of adult courses in nature
leadership and appreciation.
Some of this adult work has been
OF university quality. In fact, the
University of Maryland is now
offering college credit to persons
taking these courses. Other cities
also are introducing similar pro-
grams through the leadership oil
graduates of Mr.. Macs courses.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Nervous Her
man Barron of White Plains, N. Y,
who won $l0,50O on a week long diet
of orange juice, and golfdom gen.
orally agreed today that Promoter
George S. Mays All-American fair
ways circus had lifted the sport into
big time" business.
A crowd estimated by May at
more than 52,000-tops for any golf
event-watched Barron squeeze out
72-hole aggregate of $50 for one
stroke victory over ex-tennis player
Ellsworth Vines in the final of the
All-American meet at Tam O. Shan
ter course yesterday.
By Mays calculations, 153, 900 per-
sons watched the four day event
which led p. G.. A. Tournament
Manager Fred Corcoran to predict
that tournament golf would attain a
record million paid attendance this
year.
The 37-year-old Barron, whose
Isl0,50o victory broke the Byron Nell
son monopoly at Tam O. Shanter
frankly admitted he was as jittery as
a freshman football player through
out the tournament, which he led
from the start with rounds of 68-
7l-69-72.
Nelson, who had won four of the
five previous All-American meets,
finished in three-way tie for sew
enth place with feeble 287, one I'M
