Ninety per cent. of the farms owned by colored people are in the South, as pointed out by speakers at the Tuskegee conference. There are yet farms that may be ob- tained at comparatively small outlay and expense and even some that may be had on a fifty-fifty basis, through working them for their owners.

(Judd Mortimer Lewis, in Post). It was nine o’clock last evening when some callers came to call, I was sitting In & corner Wwith my back against the wall, With a heap of clover lying in my lap, and taking pains my clumsy, fumbliing fingers at contriving clover chains.

This has ever been the aim of the institute that is now carrying on his work, to inculcate in the race the spirit of thrift and responsibility that comes with long years of toil in seri- ous occupation. There are no better farmers in the world than the negroes of the South when they set about their work in ambitious fashion. Truly, they are sons of the sofl. Those who have assiduously applied themselves can show some of the prettiest little homes and farm lands in the South. It is only in the cities and towns that the idle negro is to be now seen to any marked degree. There, lured on | by the pleasures and vanities of life, | he usually becomes a discordant ele- { ment in the social scheme and causes | trouble both for himself and those in the community.

Chief Justice White of the supreme court was walking in Connectlcut avenue on January 7, complacently smoking a cigar.

HERE’S WHERE YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET Milk Campaign Statistics-Watch for Your Milkman's Name In this space dally appears the re- sults of the laboratory examinations of milk sold in New Britain. While the health department makes a full chemical and refractive examination of each sample, only the amount of fat and the degree of cleanliness of the milk will be recorded here in or- der that the reader shall not be con- fused by an array of figures. The average milk contains from 3.5 per cent. to 4 per cent. fat. The statute requires that it shall not be less than 3.26 per cent. fat. Milk should be clean, but a mere trace of dirt does not signify a dirty milk. On the oth- er hand, there is a no excuse for milk containing a small or large amount of dirt. The housekeepers can do as much toward making the campaign a success as can the board of health by reporting to both their milkdealer and the health department any adverse condition they find in the milk they buy. This daily report will continue throughout the month and later a full report will be made of the sanitary condition of the dairies in the city and on the farms.

Showing signs of the conflict, Yanowicz having his head literally covered with blood- stained bandages, the two were fined $10 and costs each by Judge James T. Meskill in police court today for breach of the peace and assault. It was testified that the two had a keg of beer and were having a real enjoyable time until Yanowicz was in- formed by one of the women of the household that the other Tony was bothering his wife, who lay on a couch in the kitchen.

Jacob Dula, also known as Jacob Gdula, of 28 Horace street was dis- charged from charges of assaul: upon his wife because the latter pleaded for him, said that her sister had talked her into making the complaint but she wished to withdraw it. sald they have been married only about ten months and there has been no serious trouble.
