Ragsdale Brothers
Attend Funeral
Directors Convention

H. w. and Lincoln Ragsdale rep
resented the Ragsdale Mortuary at
the Arizona State Funeral Direc-
tors Convention which was held
here April 6 and T. This is the first
time since the State organization
became a member of the National
Conference of Funeral Directors
approximately 10 years ago, that
a Negro embalmer took part.
Up until this year, when Mr..
Hartwell Ragsdale came to the city
after finishing the embalmer
course in California, there had not
been a Colored representative in
the embalming profession in this
state since the death of Leland D.
Ward several years ago, who
worked for the East Lake Mort
uary.
The two day session was held in
the Shrine Temple where merchan-
disc of their profession was dis
played.
In keeping with solemnity of
their profession, the following poem
by an unknown writer was placed
on the back of their program:
LIFE EVERLASTING
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and
starts for the blue ocean. She is
an object of beauty and strength
and I stand and watch her until
at length she hangs like speck of
white cloud just where the sea and
sky come down to mingle with
each other. Then someone at my
side says: There! She's gone"
Gone where? Gone from my
sight-that is all. She is just as
large in mast and hull and spar as
she was when she left my side, and
just as able to bear her load of liv-
ing freight to the place of destina-
ton. Her diminished size is in me,
not in her; and just at the moment
when someone at my side says,
There! She's gone," there are 9TH
er eyes watching her coming, and
other voices ready to take up the
glad shout, There she comes!"
And that is dying.

Little Luther

"AHY boy" roared MT. Dilworth, 1V1"cOme here and sit at my
 feet. I have news for you. am about to improve your mind and make your outlook more wholesome"
 Luther, suspicious glint in his eye, said: ssWhat's on your mind now, Pop?"
 My boy, the Evening Crud has a verry significant news item here. It says that there are 61, ,296, ,OOO people working in these fair United States. Imagine! 6I, ,296,OOO jobs under free enterprise! Every man a king!''
 S'Pop, you make me laugh," said Luther. During the war when the labor movement said there could be 6O,O0O,OOO jobs, you said it was impossible. Now that 6l, ,296,OO are working, you take credit for it"
 Luther, you grieve me. You are so cynical. Just think what would have happened to our economy if we had left it to your fuzzy-minded labor leaders. Today there would only be 6O,OOO,OOO people work ing, and the other l,296, ,OOO would be unemployed! But Free Enter prise has vision. Free Enterprise looks ahead. Free Enterprise said 6O,OO0,OOO jobs were impossible then, but it didn't say 6l, ,296,OOO would be impossible now! Every man a king!" acclaimed MT. Dill worth, his index finger pointing skyward.
 s'Pop, have some interesting statistics for you, too. My union paper says that milk consumption in the U. s. has been declining rapidly for the past two years. The birth rate is up. There are more kids, but less milk is being drunk. Every man may be a king, but it looks like the royal families ain't eating too well.''
 MT. Dilworth rose. "Communist! Traitor! Subversive element! My own flesh and blood! Who cares about milk? Jobs are what Pm talk ing about and he argues about milk!'
 ssPOp, if our fuzzy-minded labor leaders, as you quaintly term them, had been running the country, there wouldn't be 100000 unemployed, and all the people who work would be getting enough money to feed their kids milk, and buy new clothes when they need 'em. Don't forget, Pop, we have all those jobs, but we've also got imitation, and a housing shortage, and a war scare, and depression coming, maybe" :"
 Luther, you are ungrateful. Here I try to improve your mind and make you understand that Wall Street knows what's good for you, and you talk about things which Wall Street has nothing to do with. Can Wall Street help it if prices are high?'
 s'Oh, brother!" said Luther, walking slowly away as MT. Dil- worth began re-reading the news story about 6l ,296, ,OOO jobs.

AC AC1OlN1SI11lNOs NelsOn's endurance was astOnish- ing. Curious, a prominent physi- elan examined him for the answer. He found an abnormally slow and extraordinarily strong heart. Also the lung expansion of heavy weight, although Nelson was sOme- what slenderly built. The doctor exclaimed: ''It is almost impossible to exhaust a man with such heart and lungs."
 Bat once told me: "I never went into any fight with the idea I could be licked or kayoed. Sure, lot of punches hurt So what? wore 'em all down to their last punch. 1 figured every sock 1 got was one nearer the last he had to hand out" He was clean liver, never touch ing liquor or even tobacco. Yet he plugged nine years without getting anywhere until Spider Welch, a Cali fornia topnotcher, grabbed him for a soft mark. Nelson wore down the name fighter in 16 rounds, became a somebody overnight Quickly he whip ped a string of good ones in long drawn out battles. Finally he knocked off clever Jimmy Britt for the worlds white lightweight championship"
 Joe Cans, brilliant Negro and real lightweight king, stood in his way. They fought under broiling Nevada sun and Cans won in 42 rounds. Dazed and battered, Bat fouled the Negro, who had won almost every round.
 It was tragic fight for Cans, then 32-eight years older than Bat-and in the grip of consump- ton. NelsOn's heartless manager meant to win at any cost. In order to weaken Joe, who had trouble making the weight, he had forced him to scale under the lightweight notch.
 Two years later Nelson twice knocked out Cans, then but two years from the grave
 END OF A CHAMPION
 Nelson, a champ, was finally out wolfed by a kid he had tagged for an easy scrap Ad Wolgast. Bat was washed up but didn't realize it. Their fight was brutish spectacle as they agreed to drop all ordinary rules gov erning fouls. The advantages swayed from one slugger to the other through the crimson rounds.
 In the 10th round Nelson's face was red. misshapen blotch with both eyes closed. He was unable to lift his soggy mitts. Still the Dancing Dutchrnan smashed him, and lion-hearted Nelson spread his quivering legs to remain erect.
 The blood-spattered referee asked him to give up. Bat couldn't speak. He shook his head slowly from side to side, staggered around the official and lurched, arms dangling, toward Vol gast. That merciless youngster struck one more terrific blow.
 Nelson staggered back, head roll ing. He didn't fall, but the referee caught him and the fight was over. Bat had to be carried from the ring
