OF ALL THINGS!

A friend who doesn't want to
take credit for it tells us this
story.
The Bedlow family lived wher-
ever the Ritter camp was pitch
ed. The old man, the old woman
and nine children made up the
household. Every one of them
used snuff. One time the Ritter
commissary got out of snuff, and
that put the whole Bedlow fam
lily on sufferance. Goods for the
commissary were brought in Oh.
the log train that made three
trips a week from Fremont Ola
man Bedlow was like a hen on d
hot rock without his snuff, am.
l suppose all other members of
the family were in the same
shape. Whenever the log train
from Fremont would blow, you
could see old man Bedlow hot
footing it to the store to see if any
snuff had come in. Two trips the
train made, and no snuff.
Finally, the train came chug-
ging around the bend one day,
and there was old man Bedlow
Logging it to the commissary. He
soon came out of the store with
can of snuff and was dosing it
into his mouth. He held his low
er lip between the thumb and
foreflnger of one hand and was
shaking the dust into the opening
with the other. His wife was at
the doorstep and the children
were strung out behind her. She
was holding her lower Lip as her
husband held his, and all the chill
dren were doing the same. AS
Bedlow passed along the line he
dumped pinch into each wait
ing mouth. 1t was like a bird feed
ing its young. By the time he got
to the end of the line, a great
peace had come to all members
of the Bedlow family, and 'they
remembered their troubles no
more

This, they say, happened at
Curt Mullins store, A Negro wo-
man from Clinchco had got In
debt at the store in the amount
OF a hundred dollars. She came
IN one day not long ago and SAID
she would pay her debt if Curt
would credit her for another hun
dred dollars. She explained her
self. Her children had to have
winter clothing, and she had ex-
actly one hundred dollars to
clothe them with. She aimed to
buy the clothes instead of paying
the debt. She would rather give
Curt the benefit of the trade,
since he had been good enough to
give her credit. What did he
think about it? Well, he thought
it was good business to sell a
hundred dollars worth of mercn
andiSe.

Farmers Union Nipped
For First Loss;
Avenge Defeat Later

The Laurel club travelled to
Roundup Thursday and went down
for the first time this year by a
cne-run, A to 8 score. Sunday in
a return game played in Laurel
the Farmers Union turned the tables
by clipping the Miners 5 to 3.
Clarence Hoffman,, who wears num-
Der 13 and was pitching the teams
thirteenth game, suffered his first
defeat in two years of league play,
mostly due to the big sticking of
shortstop Wink Charlton. With n
one in the first inning, Wink poled
the ball over the right field fence
and in the third inning hit a triple
and later scored. The Farmers
Union tied the game in the top of
the second on a double by Sid Peers
with two men on. Roundup made
the count a to 2 with another run in
the fifth and the scoring stopped
after Laurel tailed once in the
sixth. Laurel left the tying run
stranded on third in both the eighth
and ninth inning.

Tiny Pirtz who homered in the first
with one on. Laurel came back in
the third with four runs and the
count stayed unchanged until the

one more. Chuck Belinak poled a
line drive wei the right fielder's
head for a homer in the eighth for

Piqua for one performance, April
23, at the Piqua Central high
school auditorium. This is the Van
guard Theater production under
the direction of Lewis Booth. The
play by Arnaud d'Usseau and
James Cow is staged by Herman
Pfuhl.
This controversial play which
ran more than a year on Broad
way and which was very we'll re-
ceived by the critics has been chal-
longing the racial attitudes of
Ohioans in this section since last
fall, thanks to the splendid eff
forts Of the Vanguard Theater.
Attempts have been made in some
areas to keep the audience as low
as possible, but they have only
had the effect Of increasing the
plays popularity.
Sponsored by the Piqua-eSidney
NAACP Youth council, tickets for
the play may be secured at the
following locations: Gallaher's

The Dunbar high school band
will hold a concert this Friday,
April 16, at 8 p. M, at the audi
forum in the high school. Under
the conductorship of William j.
Edwards, the 65-piece band will
present classical, secular and popu-
lar numbers.
The special feature at this
years concert will be the presen-
tation of two soloists of extraor-
binary ability. They are Marion
Prugh, basoonist, and Carol Thorp,
trombonist, both from Fairmont
high school, and both State con-
test winners on these instruments.
The advance reports that we have
received on these two developing
artists make it mandatory that we
don't mis- their performances.
The Dunbar band is very highly
rated in local music circles. Indi-
vidual members have won several
local contests. The band played at
most of Dunbar's football games,
it participated in the Armistice
Day and Army Day parades and
it gave a concert this past Christ
mas.
The Dunbar cohorts are Justly
proud of the accomplishments of
their band. It has been of immeas-
urable aid in distilling an intense
school spirit and pride in them.
They look forward to a large pub
lie turnout this Friday as evidence
that the entire community is be-
parton is $1.0O.
Full public support Of the Dun
bar band will assure MI. Edwards
of even a bigger and better band
in the future.

The Dayton Marcos baseball
club, member of the Western
American Association league, are
waiting for the order o fthe UNI
pire to play ball and to begin the
long trend og games outlined by
the league officials.
According to the release of the
1913 playing schedule of the lea
que, the Marcos will play II or
more regular league games on

member of the league in time for
the opening game.
According to Harry Parks, CO.

the Marcos, six teams now COM
prise the league set-up, and if
Lexington and another proposed
club join up it will make an eight
team loop. However, says the Mar

attractions in the nation.
The league is comprised of
some of the best diamond per-
formers in the land and can match
talent with any Of the top notch
clubs in the game. The interest
of the Marcos is increasing daily
and we already have created the
attention of several clubs as to
the quality of players on the club
with dickering for two of last
seasons veteran players, Bonnie
Pate, third baseman, and Jimmie
Rife, righthand pitcher who drew
the attention of several clubs op-
posing US during the '48 cam
paign.
Offers have been made to the
Marco management for the serv-
ices of these two lads, but Parks
has not decided to depart with
their services at this writing.
Weather conditions have hamp.
cred the spring training schedule
of the team somewhat, but the
boys have been working out in

in good form according to Parks.

WIherforce Prof.
Publishes Book on
The Negro Press

WHEREFORE, O., April IL.
After 26 years since the last
book on the Negro press was pub
lished, here comes at last another
one = authoritatively challenging,
critically constructive, delight
fully compact, and refreshingly
honest. "The Negro Newspaper
by DR.. Vishu V. Oakf professor
Of business administration and eco
Monies at Wilberforce university,
is the first of a series to be pub
lished under the general title of
"The Negro Enterpreneur."
This long needed book points
out how the Negro press has aided
in the preservation of American
democracy by revealing how de-
mocracy actually operates in
American society.
The author points out how Ne
gro newspapers, by a united at
tack upon discrimination, segre-
cation, and race prejudice, have
brought to the attention of the ma
ton the injustices suffered by
Ito of the nations population
even though we have been pro-
claiming s~trenuously to the world
the virtues of our so-called dem
ocratic way of life.
The author calls attention to
the fact that, with all their serv-
ice, much more could have been
accomplished if these newspapers
had followed more closely the
thics of the profession. The rabid
sensationalism, inconsistent pre-
sentation of race ideals, tendency
to sell their pages to the support
of unholy causes, inept selection
and exploitation of news items,
and Quislingism are some Of the
faults of the Negro press.
In addition to the general eval-
uation of the Negro press as a
socializing agency, there are well
authenticated chapters on the his
tory of Negro journalism, the
.functioning of the Negro news
paper, news gathering agencies,
advertising in the Negro press,
