And I would be rich beyond the dreams of avarice if I had a dollar for every time I told the one about the company of drafted negroes who were marching up the street on the way to the depot, when a dusky boy in the curious crowd on the sidewalk recognized one of the marchers. "He/, Big Boy!" he shouted. "Whah is you gwine?" And the marcher glumly replied: "Ah ain't GWINE no placedey's TAKfN' me!"

But the most popular and most told colored draft story of the war, was when the idea of the draft wis first mentioned in Darktown. At first they couldn't believe it possible that they could "be tooked." One big fellow said: "Shucks ! Dass all foolishness ! Uncle Sam caint make me fight!" And a wiser and older one replied: "Nossuh: Uncle Sam caint make you fight! But I'll tell you whut he kin do ! He kin take you whah de fightin' is at an' let you use you' own judgment!"

A success story. The story of Congressman Martin Dies, Chairman of the Congressional Committee that for several years has been investigating un-American activities in this country. Two years ago a campaign was in progress to destroy Martin Dies and his committee. No one in Washington can remember a comparable case, where a public servant, engaged in a great patriotic effort trying to locate and ferret out the Fifth Columnists and the borersfrom-within, was subjected to such a tornado of misrep resentation, calumny, vituperation, and such a flood of ridicule. It continued for months. The many friends of this courageous and patriotic young man writhed with indignation at the public tortures and indignities to which the "hatchet men" subjected him. But he refused to quit. He kept on boring in on those who were boring in. And today he rides the crest of the wave of public approval, simply because we have since discovered that the things he was saying and claiming about conditions in this country two years ago, were only a shadow of the actual facts. History will praise the work of Martin Dies in uncovering our dangerous radicals and exposing their works. And now there are many men and women in Washington who would like very much indeed to have the public forget the nauseous flood of condemnation and misrepresentation and ridicule that they heaped upon the head of Martin Dies. They would like to have Mr. Dies forget. They are singing that good old song, "Let's forgive and forget." But if every baneful and malicious crusade of calumny against good men like Martin Dies is going to be so soon forgiven and forgotten, this would indeed be a difficult country for good people to live in. ft is much more likely that when the history of these strange times is written the campaign to destroy Martin Dies and stop his investigations into unAmerican activities within our borders will be given a very prominent page.

They Grow 'Em Big in Texas

Jake Richenstein, president of Cowser & Company, Dallas, Texas, who was on a business trip to the Pacific Coast a few weeks ag'o, recently sent four of the biggest watermelons ever seen in California to Jim Farley, The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco; Bill Dorsey, The Pacific Lumber Company, Scotia; Alfred D. Bell, Jr., Hammond Redwood Company, San Francisco, and E. E. (Abe) Abrahamson, Hammond Redwood Company, Samoa.

In a letter to each of these Redwood lumbermen Mr. Richenstein stated that when in California he had seen the big Redwoods, met a number of big lumbermen who did things in a big way, and incidentally noted on his tour the little things Californians call watermelons, and had therefore decided on his return to Texas to send them what he called real watermelons.

The melons were packed well and each was shipped in a zinc washtub. The one received by Jim Farley weighed 85 pounds and its smallest circumference measured 54 inches. At a Rotary Club luncheon in Scotia it was found big enough to serve all that were present with a generous piece. One man at the luncheon remarked that this one made California watermelons look like green olives.
