SOUTH EAGER TO
GET ITS NEGROES
DMOirnnn iinoTu

, Southerners Are Even Willing
to Pay Fare to Ne
groes Who Are Will- ,
ing to Return.
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 1. (Cor
respondence of The Associated
Pres.) Plenty of farm and mill
work, better wages than ever before
paid ard improved living conditions
await suthern negroes who have
gone to the north and who now are
said to be clamoring to return to
the south, according to employers
. here.
Southern farmers and plantation
owners want the negroes back.
If there were some method of
' getting in touch with them it
is declared the expense of their
return to Dixie would be will
ingly borne. This will hold especially
true for the next few weeks, be-
; cause there is need of negroes who
know how to take care of the cotton
crop.
But these employers say they do
no; want northern-born and reared
negroes. They would j refer to
bring in foreign labor, they assert.
"We would not hesitate to pay the
expense of a hundred or more
negroes from Chicago or other
northern cities to our place, if we
can get southern negroes, particu-
. larly negroes who have gone from
Mississippi, Arkansas 3nd Tennes-
- see," said A. C. Lange, vice presi-
' dent and general manager of the
Chicago Mill and Lumber Co., which
r, owns more than 70,000 acres of tim
ber and agricultural lands in
; northeastern Arkansas. "I think it
' is safe to say that every southern
negro in the north would be brought
back without expense to him if
southern farmers and plantation
'. owners knew where and how to get
, in touch with the southern-born.
We don't want, and will not have
nothern negroes."
The question of how to get in
touch with negroes who have gone
north was discussed at the Memphis
meeting of the Alluvial Land asso
ciation several days ago and the
subje will be a special order of
business at the next meeting. The
association is an organization of
. bankers, land owners, chambers of
commerce, planters and lumbermen
of the lower Mississippi valley
formed to serve, in measure, the same
purpose for the delta country, as the
chamber of commerce serves the
town or city. At the last meet
ing it was said there was great need
for more labor in the lower Mississ
ippi valley and especially for negro
labor acquainted with southern
agricultural methods and with cot
ton growing and handling.

Wedded Life.On 50-50
Basis Ends In Divorce
San Francisco, Cal. Sept. 20. The
50-50 basis of life was gotten down
to a fine science by Carl FRoseen,
" contractor here, who is sued for di
vorct today by Mrs. Clara Roseen.
She told the court here that in 25
" yeart of married life she "worked
out" and carried her half of all
household expenses. Even the gas
bills, light, fuel, meat, groceries,
carfares, etc, wert strictly "50-50,"
she said.
Now the couple have $30,000 worth
' of property. Once on a pleasure

' and admission to - an amusement

To See In3ide.
A very handy weapon to make
easy the examination of the inside
of a casinir when looking fdr punc-
Hires, fabric breaks or weak spots, is
a wedge made of a substantial stick
of wood three-quarters of an inch
thick and three to five inches long,
Henendinp on the size of the tire.
This wedge may be slipped between
"' the beads and pulled around the en
tire circumference of the casing with
one hand, leaving the other free to
hold the tire. .

dreorge Of. Lee
The removal of George E. Lee
from Lincoln to Omaha, adds a cap
able public speaker to the popula
tion of Omaha.
Mr. Lee has associated himself in
the law business with William J.
Hotz. In the state capital city he
was with Frank M. Hall and also,
was identified with the legal depart
ment of the Lincoln Traction com
pany. While a resident of the state of
Washington he served as first as-t
sistant attorney general, and was ap
pointed chairman, of the state rail
way and public service commission.
Later he was an attorney for the In
terstate Commerce commission, with
offices in Washington, D. C.
On the Pacific coast he was fre
quently sought as a speaker during
republican campaigns.
Commenting upon the republican
situation, Mr. Lee said: "Nineteen
twenty will be an overwhelming re
publican year. Great reconstruction
problems demand the constructive
statesmanship of the republican
party. With a republican victory
there will come unparalleled prog
ress and prosperity. The industrial
life of the nation needs republican
principles and legislation as never
before since Lincoln's time."
Federal Highway Council
Takes Over Transport Work
Following information to the ef
fect that the highways transport
committee, of the Council of Na
tional Defense, was to be disbanded
several conferences were had with
leading men in the highways trans
port and good roads movements
touching the future of this work.
It was the consensus of opinion that
the Federal Highway council would
be the logical organization to carry
on many of its activities and to co
ordinate the work of highway and
transport interests.
The work will be under the super
vision of Charles W. Reid as man
ager of the transportation bureau.
of the federal Highway council.
Mr. Reid has been the chief ex
ecutive officer of the highways
transport committee since its re
organization. Automobile Editor. Joins
Ranks of Advertising Men
Charles G. Reed, for 15 years an
automobile editor and writer of mo
tor news and publicity, has joined
the Dunlap-Ward Advertising com
pany, Celeveland, O.
In his new connection Mr. Keea
will devote his energies to publicity
and sales promotion work for a
number of the larger automobile and
accessory firms who are clients of
the Dunlap-Ward organization. This
company has achieved a national
reputation for successful planning
and execution of national advertis
ing campaigns for some of the larg
est production and sales organiza
tions in the country.
Overheating Preventive.
In cars that use thermo-syphon
coolinar. the water svstem should al
ways be kept completely filled. It
the water level drops considerably,
the circulation of the water will be
reduced and may even be stopped
altogether. With a pump system the
pump continues to force the water
through . the system, regardless ot
how much or how little of the
liquid there may be, but the circu
lation of the 1 syphonic system is
simolv a natural flow and this is
interrupted in case a considerable
portion of the outlet pipe is empty.
resulting in overheating of the en.
gine.
Tire Chains.
Tire chains are practically always
used in wet weather and care is
necessary to keep them from getting
rusty. The chains should always be
dried off before they are returned to
the tool box after use. Especially
should the clamps be looked after.
A little cup of grease or vaseline
will prevent rusting and eliminate
the trouble of prying them open or
using a hammer to close them:
There should always be carried in
the tool kit a crosspiece tool and one
or two extra cross chains. With this
tool broken cross chains may be
removed or replaced very easily.
In Mountain Running...
The densitv of the air at 5.000 feet
is about one-fifth less than that of
air at sea level. An eneine with low
comoression will not deliver full
cower with that amount of decrease
in density. Also the carbureter will
need some adjustment before the car
reaches the hieher altitudes. These
facts should be borne in mind by
the motorist who intends to drive
through mountainous districts.
Electrolytic. .
Here are a few things regarding
the fluid used in storaare batteries,
Iron rust even in small quantities is
very detrimental to the battery. Al
most all rarn water contains injurious
matter. Chemically mire sulphuric
acid only should be used. In mixing
acid -and ' distilled water the acid
should be poured into the water
slcuvlv. The addition of water to
acid is dangerous.
