EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—The recent race war at 
Tulsa, Okla., resulted in the deaths of 
nine whites and 21 colored people, and 
property damage of $1,500,000. Repre¬ 
sentative citizens held a meeting con¬ 
demning the city and county officials 
whose cowardice and inefficiency led to 
the outbreak/ and have asked subscrip¬ 
tions to a fund of $500,000 to be used in 
reconstructing homes owned by colored 
people. Martial law will be continued 
until conditions are settled. 
.Tune 3-4 floods from swollen mountain 
streams swept over Pueblo, Col., causing 
great loss of life and property damage. 
June 5 cloudbursts, augmented by water 
from two huge dams, destroyed on Beaver 
Creek. 30 miles west of the city, swept 
over Pueblo again, with further destruc¬ 
tion and loss of life. .T. L. Morehead, 
secretary to Governor Shoup, said the 
deaths would not exceed 350, while the 
Bed Cross fixed the minimum at 100. 
Chief of Police Daly said at least 1,000 
persons, mostly children, living in the 
lowlands, where the poorer classes re¬ 
sided. had been drowned. The city is 
under martial law. Twenty-five men have 
been arrested for looting, and one man, 
a Mexican, was shot by guards. The 
property loss is estimated as high as 
$20,000,000. One store alone, which had 
a stock of $3,000,000. reported almost a 
complete loss. Between 2.000 and 3.000 
refugees are being cared for. The Red 
Cross is feeding the needy as fast as food 
can be prepared. 
At Las Animas, Col., five persons were 
drowned by the rise of the Arkansas 
River. June 6 the floods were reaching 
points in Kansas, where warning was 
given in time for people and stock to seek 
high ground. 
Laura Bromwell, holder of the world’s 
record for airplane looping by a. woman, 
who made 199 complete air circles at 
Mineola on May 16, fell to her death 
from a height of 1.S00 feet June 4 at the 
Curtiss School of Aviation flying field, 
Garden City, D. I„ in the presence of 
5.000 spectators. She had just completed 
one loop. A pathetic feature of the trag¬ 
edy was the presence at the flying field of 
George Davis, Miss Bromwell’s fiance. 
Aviation experts said that they believed 
Miss Bromwell was not securely strapped 
into place and that losing the seat in her 
first loop she was unable to regain it, thus 
losing control of the plane. 
Loss by five which partially destroyed 
the plant of the McKeesport Tin Plate 
Company at McKeesport. Pa.. June 7, 
was estimated at nearly $3,000,000. The 
fire, starting in the box factory of the 
Xufer Cedar Company, spread to the 
machine shop and tin house of the tin 
plate plant. The plant is said to he one 
of the largest in the world, having 44 
mills and employing normally 3,000 men. 
Approximately 1,500 men are thrown out 
of work temporarily. 
The German submarine TT-97 was sunk 
June 7 in Lake Michigan, some 30 miles 
off Chicago, by the 4-inch guns of the U. 
«3. S. Wilmette. The U-boat, with a 
known record of seven Allied ships sunk, 
was destroyed in accordance with the pro¬ 
visions of the Treaty of Versailles. The 
destruction of the craft was a part of the 
annual Summer maneuvers of naval re¬ 
servists from Indiana and Illinois. 
Airplane police, to i\gulate aerial traf¬ 
fic. assist in hunting bank robbers and 
automobile bandits and to patrol the lake 
front for persons and vessels in distress, 
will be added to the Evanston police de¬ 
partment. it was announced at Chicago 
June 7. Two aerial policemen will be 
sworn in, given stars and authorized to 
make arrests. Their beats will be ‘‘in the 
air over Evanston.” 
WASHINGTON.—A decision favorable 
to the Government was handed down 
.Tune 6 by the Court of Appeals of the 
District of Columbia in the case of Albert 
g. Burleson, Postmaster-General, against 
the Workingmen’s Co-operative Publish¬ 
ing Association, publishers of the New 
York Cull. The court holds that ‘‘Com¬ 
munistic and Bolshevistic” matter ap¬ 
pearing in the Call is in violation of Sec¬ 
tion 211 of the amended Criminal Code, 
which is permanent legislation, being in 
force in time of peace as well as war. and 
makes non-mailable any “matter tending 
to incite arson, murder or assassination.” 
By a vote of 14 to 1, with two Demo¬ 
crats voting present, the House Foreign 
Affairs Committee reported June 6 a 
joint resolution which would give to 
President Harding the master hand in 
calling an international conference on dis¬ 
armament. 
Respect for American property rights 
in Mexico is the only possible basis for 
friendly relations between the two repub¬ 
lics, it was announced after the Cabinet 
meeting June 7. President Obregon of 
Mexico was notified that he could sign a 
treaty with this Government recognizing 
all legal titles to property in Mexico held 
by Americans at any time he desired. It 
was pointed out that the consummation 
of such a treaty would in itself be official 
recognition of his government, so that no 
other official action would be necessary. 
Decision to end American military rule in 
Santo Domingo as speedily as possible 
also was reached at the meeting. A proc¬ 
lamation will be issued soon outlining the 
steps to be taken. Briefly, these will 
cover merely the necessary precautions in 
connection with the withdrawal of the 
American forces, and the transference of 
the government to a proper government, 
with the necessary safeguards on pro¬ 
perty rights. The State Department ex¬ 
pects the entire process to be completed 
within eight months. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—The fifty- 
third annual meeting of the American 
Jersey Cattle Club was held in New York 
on June 1. Progress was reported in 
every department of club activities, and 
considerable increase was shown in regis¬ 
trations and transfers. A plan was 
adopted whereby members, by petition, 
may make nominations for directors and 
officers of the club. A resolution was 
passed adopting the 305-day test as an 
official test for the Jersey cow. This 
test period will be used in addition to the 
present 365-day test period, and both 
periods will be given official recognition. 
M. D. Munn, of St. Paul, Minn., was 
unanimously re-elected as president, while 
E. A. Darling, vice-president, and George 
T. Chaffee, treasurer, were also re-elected 
by unanimous vote. R. M. Gow was re¬ 
appointed as secretary. 
Farm jobs for 416 former service men 
were obtained in one week by the Ameri¬ 
can Lmd Service, 4N0 Lexington Avenue, 
New York, Arthur Williams, chairman of 
the board, announced Recently. In addi¬ 
tion, work for 37 women and permanent 
farm homes for 112 families were found. 
The organization, through Mr. Williams, 
makes an appeal for support by the pub¬ 
lic. Money is needed to get the men to 
the farm jobs quickly. There is no time 
to organize a drive, Mr. Williams says, 
as hundreds of men seeking jobs are being 
sent to the American Land Service by 
relief organizations. 
Legislation authorizing the Treasury to 
place $50,000,000 at the disposal of the 
Federal Farm Loan Board for relief of 
agriculture interests was advocated June 
7 before the House Banking Committee 
by Secretary Mellon. 
The war of the farmers against the 
Chicago Board of Trade was opened on a 
new front June 1 when the United States 
Grain Growers, Inc., organized by repre¬ 
sentatives of farmers’ associations 
throughout the United States for the pur¬ 
pose of marketing the country’s grain 
under a plan of their own, opened offices 
and announced it is ready for business.

C OWS that are constantly 
bothered with Hies during 
the hot months fall off about 
one-third in condition and milk 
production. They are exposed 
to every disease and infection 
that flies carry. By protecting 
these valuable animals and 
keep'ng them comfortable you 
increase their milk production 
and weight. You can do this 
for about a penny a day. 
Not a fly-chaser 
It knocks flies dead 
Morgan’s Sure Death Fly and 
Insect Destroyer does not 
merely chase or stun flies. It 
knocks them dead. When prop¬ 
erly applied, it is guaranteed to 
actually kill every fly with 
which it comes in contact dur¬ 
ing spraying. 
100 °/o Pure Insecticide 
No other fly-chaser is or can be like 
Morgan’s—our patent protects. It 
is a 100% pure, non-poisonous, non¬ 
irritating oil compound. You can 
spray with Morgan’s Sure Death 
Fly and Insect Destroyer immedi¬ 
ately before milking without any 
possibility of tainting the milk— 
without causing cows to cough or 
smothering the milkers. This 
proves that it is entirely different 
from coal-tar or creosote fly chas¬ 
ers, which are exceedingly irritat¬ 
ing to the mucous membranes. 
One Spraying Protects 
for Eight Hours 
Morgan’s Sure Death Fly and 
Insect Destroyer evaporates 
very slowly. We absolutely 
guarantee it to keep flies away 
from cattle or horses for eight 
hours following the spraying. 
Spray the animals night and 
morning and they are properly 
protected. 
Other Reasons for 
Selecting Morgan’s 
Progressive farmers appreciate the 
value of such a preparation from 
a dollars-and-cents standpoint. 
Nervous, fretting cattle can neither 
gain weight fast nor keep up a 
high standard of milk production. 
Morgan’s Sure Death Fly and In¬ 
sect Destroyer keeps animals com¬ 
fortable—does not stain or mat the 
hair, does not blister the skin, does 
not clog the sprayer. It does bet¬ 
ter work, goes farther, lasts longer 
—pays for itself many times over. 
Half a Million Animals 
had Morgan Protection 
Last Year 
Half a million cattle and horses 
were sprayed with it last year. 
This year our increased manufac¬ 
turing facilities enable us to assure 
ample supplies for our old cus¬ 
tomers. We are prepared to take 
care of new customers—to give 
Morgan protection to a million 
more animals. Take advantage of 
our special offer.
