been focused on the present case
in view of the fact that the rapid
ly growing practice of restricting
residential areas to occupancy by
white citizens only, through the
use of contracts signed by private
individuals, has been the device,
smiled upon by the courts, by
which a 1912 decision of the Su-
preme court prohibiting the zon-
ing of areas according to race,
has been circumvented. Blocked in
their efforts to impose a system
of racial zoning in u cities,
these interests developed the tech
nique found in restrictive cove
nants which are now in efefct in
practically every community with
a sizeable minority in the United
States.
The areas affected have become
so large and so numerous and the
groups restricted so diverse, that
the restrictive covenants today are
recognized as a matter of gravest
national concern. Aspects of the
problem have been litigated in at
least 81 states during the last &c
years. These cases reveal cove
nants affecting areas as large as
1000 lots and 26 city blocks. These
restrictions are not leveled against
Negroes alone. Courts have been
asked to exclude from ownership
or occupancy persons Of Arabian,
Armenian, Chinese, Ethiopian,
Greek, Hindu, Korean, Persian,
Spanish and Syrian ancestry as
we'll as American Indians and
Puerto Ricans, irrespective of citi-
zenship. One petition ow pending
shows a clergyman excluded from
occupancy of the parsonage of his
church.
Attorneys for the NAACP hope
to convince the high court that
legal enforcement of a restrictive
covenant constitutes a violtion of
the 18th amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States as
we'll as a contravention of public
policy. The scope Of the NAACP
brief is indicated by a section
dealing with the United Nations
charter. 1t is stated in the brief
that Judicial enforcement of this
restrictive covenant violates the

Covenants Reach j. S.
Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. CAN
P)-The first round in the battle
against restrictive covenants, op-
ened in the United States Supreme
court on when Thurgood Marshall
and loren Miller, attorneys for the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, filed
the Associations brief in behalf
of a Michigan Negro property
owner who was ordered to vacate
his property because the land upon
which it stood was "~protected"
against occupancy by any but eau
casions.
The U. S. Supreme courts de-
cision in the case now being ar
gued will undoubtedly have far
reachin significance, especially in
view of the fact that this is the
first time since 1926 that the ques-
ton of restrictive covenants has
reached the nations highest court.
In that year the Supreme court re-
fused to review an appeal be-
cause of certain technicalities in
the brief.
The action now before the high
court originated in Deroit, Mich,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Orsel McGhee
were ordered by a local judge to
vacate property which they had
purchased. The court order came
as a result of a suit brought
againts the Negro property own
ers by Benjamin Sipes and other
neighboring property owners who
charged that the McGhee prop
erty was part of a subdivision
which was protected against occu-
pancy by Negroes and other nom
Caucasians by a contract or re-
strictive covenant signed by pre-
vious owners in 1884. The Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People defended
the cases and appealed to the Su-
preme court of the State Of Mich
igan which finally affirmed the
decree of the lower court. The N.
A. A. C. P. then appealed to the
United States Supreme court.

SPEAKER AT
HERE

DR.. E. Guy Cutshall was
speaker at a temperance meet
ing under the joint sponsorship
of several Hardin churches
and held Tuesday evening at
the church of the Open Bible.
DR.. Cutshall has travelled ex-
tensively, having spent 1887
and 1888 in Europe where he
visited 26 countries.
One Of the strongest points
the speaker made was the re-
lation of the amount spent on
alcohol each year in this coun-
try to. the amount spent on
education. He said Americans
paid approximately eight bill
lion dollars for alcoholic bev-
erages each year, but expected
our educational system to limp
along on three billion dollars.
The Rev. R. N. England gave
the invocation and the Rev. B.
N. Nelson introduced the speak
er. Rev. F. G.. Burks was also
present. The Rev. Albert Mus
kett, pastor of another of the
sponsoring churches, was un-
able to be present because of
illness. The Rev. G. K. Widmay-
er was also unable to be pres
ent.

Form Corporation for Building Of
Community Recreation Center Here
Already Have $4,000
Toward Construction of
Proposed $4,000 Building

II was announced this week
that in December an associa-
ton organized several years ago
to sponsor a community CEN
ter for Big Horn county had
decided to incorporate.
The corporation was formed
lat week under the name of
the Big Horn County Commu-
nifty Center. The articles of in
corporation provide that it is
to be a non-profit, non-sectar-
ian, non-political organization
and that it is organized for
the development of the phys
ical, temporal and moral well
fare of the children and youth
of Big Horn county and for the
purpose of promoting social
events and entertainment" and
to construct a community CEN
ter at Hardin.
The board of trustees elected
to serve for the first year are
c. A. Bentley, Lee B. Terpening,
L: R. Cool, J. J. Ping and Bert
w. Kronmiller. Mr.. Bentley was
named president of the board,
Mr. Ping vice president and MI.
kronmiQer, secretary.
The corporation, a member
ship organization without cor
porate stock, is now making a
drive to raise $4,000 so that
construction on the center can
begin at once. With $4,000 al
ready in the corporate treasury,
it is thought this amount will
be sufficient to complete the
structure.
The association interested in
the community center was
formed some years ago. The
entrance of the country in the
war and the resulting restric-
tons on building caused the
group to postpone action until
the present.
Present plans call for a kit
chen and banquet room, game
rooms and a bowling alley ON
the ground floor. On the upper
floor will be a large auditorium
of sufficient size for regulation
basketball games. A stage will
be built at one end.
The site is now under con-
sideration. An area large enough
to include a playground, ten
mis- courts and parking space is
desired.
All persons interested in max
ing a contribution may see any
member of the board of truS-
tees.

GREENWALTS
ARE HONORED

John L. Greenwalt and his
two sons, Leonard, Is, and Ar
mold, 10, raised the highest av-
erage tonnage of sugar beets
per acre and the highest pro-
duction sugar per acre in the
history of the Great Western
Sugar company in the four
states in which it operates, &C
cordfng to a newspaper clipping
received here recently by Hen
ny GreenWalt, brother of John.
Pictures of Mr.. Greenwalt and
his two sons are also featured.
The father produced 31.86
tons per acre on 819 acres and
the boys produced 31.82 per
acre on 1O.1 acres. Average for
the farms total beet acreage,
10, was therefore 31.84 per acre.
The farm, leased by Mr.
Greenwalt, is three miles south
Of Gilcrest, Col.
Sugar produced ON the boys
10.1 acres total 02.707 pounds,
an average of 10,169 pounds per
acres or 1911 100-pound sacks.
Excellent and up = to = date
farming methods were credited
by sugar company officials as
at least partially responsible
for the remarkable yield. Mr.
Greenwalt practices rotation of
crops and fertilizes fields with
both natural and commercial
fertilizers.
It was stated that the high
yields are not exceptional for
the Greenwalts. Arnold and
Leonard topped the high ten
growers honor list in 1914 with
23.77 tons per acre on lis
acres and the 1916 list with
24.08 tons per acre on 1919
acres.
A third son of the Greenwalts,
Delbert, Is, is a potato grower.
Last fall he harve:: ted five acres
of Triumph potatoes which av-
eraged $40 bushels per acre. In
addition, all three boys raised
All calves.

Coach Hugh Cottam's quintet
will play about an equal num-
Der of out-of-toWn games.
Indicated so far this sea-
son, the 46-47 hoopsters seem
to have a good chance for an
unsmirched record this season,
with what may prove to be
some of their toughest contests
already behind them. Laurel
and Sheridan have given the
Bulldogs the most difficulty to
date, though they also had to
come back strong to defeat a
good Custer high school team.
The local quint relies on speed
and stamina to come out on
top. The lads always seem to
have an eye on the main
chance, and there isn't a boy
on the A squad who isn't cap
able of getting hot and sinking
enough baskets to make him a
high point man for a tilt. Bob
Saunders has proved most con-
sistent scorer so far in the
season, but it is a rare game
in which anybody isn't good
for six to eight points.
Principal advantage lacking
in the Bulldogs is height, but
SO far Cottam's five have been
able to make up for this lack
in speed, alertness and stamina.
