LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO Kansas City Ablaze With Enthusiasm Arrangements Completed for the Entertainment of the National Negro Business League and its Affiliated Organizations—National Medical Association Also to Meet in Kansas City. VOL. XX11. Kansas C Ablaz Ent Arrangements Completed for the Negro Business League and its tional Medical Association Kansas City, Mo.—Arrangements are practically complete for the reception and entertainment of the National Negro Business League which is to meet here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 16, 17, and 18, 1916. The business and professional men of the city have enlisted in a mighty effort to make this year one long to be remembered by those who visit here in August. When it is remembered that several of the most important organizations of Negroes in the country are to gather here, the desire of the citizens of Kansas City to accord a welcome worthy of their city is easily understood. There plan to meet in the Midwestern city during the month of August, The Missouri State Grand Lodge of Masons, The National Medical Association, the National Alliance of Postal Employés, and The National Negro Business League with its affiliated bodies—The National Negro Press Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, The National Negro Insurance Association, The National Negro Retail Merchants' Association and the National Negro Bar Association. These organizations represent the more prominent of the business and professional activities of the race. Those who compose them are men and women who are intellectual and economic leaders in their several communities—men and women who occupy foremost places in the thought and achievement of the race. The gatherings therefore promise to be high in character and rich in information and good accomplished. Kansas City boasts a large Negro population. In all the city's activities the colored people share. They enjoy exceptional educational facilities and are prosperous in many lines of commercial enterprise. They have been making plans for several months to receive the delegates of the organizations referred to above, and those who visit Kansas City during August may be assured that nothing will be left undone to make their stay thoroughly enjoyable. A banquet to the officers and delegates --- of the Business League, and an automobile ride through the city's parks and over its boulevards are among the entertainment features assured the visitors. Arrangements are being made to care for the delegates in the homes of the representative people of Kansas City. Occupying a conspicuous place in the plans of those who are arranging for these meetings is the coming session of the National Medical Association. The arrival of delegates who plan to attend this meeting is awaited with eager expectation. A certain sense of pride is manifested in being host to such a learned body as this association of medical men, along with the organization of business men. The same high degree of interest which always makes these sessions well worth attending will characterize the meeting of the National Medical Association this year. The program being arranged will contain many features of peculiar significance to the medical fraternity. Live subjects intimately associated with the every-day habits of the race will be discussed. Men who are experts in their chosen lines will direct these discussions. Individuals of high standing in their profession will be present. It will be an accasion from which no Negro physician can afford to absent himself. The officers of the National Negro Business League invite every Negro physician, surgeon, pharmacist and dentist to join with its delegates in making up special parties for the trip. Delegations going to the Business League sessions are already making plans to take advantage of the comfortable accommodations which the railroads have offered, announcement of which has been printed in the public press. Delegates intending to be present during the sesions of the National Negro Business League are urged to write Mr. J. H. Simmons, Chairman, Housing Committee, 1516 East 18th street, Kansas City, Mo., so that proper arrangements for home accommodations, etc., may be made in advance. Mail intended for delegates may be addressed to them, care of League Headquarters, 1516 East 18th street, Kansas City, Mo. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. AUGUST 5. 1916 State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ADC THE JOURNAL G, MONTANA DENVER COLORADO Tenth Cavalry Depicts Episodes Of Its 50 Years Of Army Service Headquarters American Punitive Expedition in Mexico, July 30.—(By Motor Truck to Columbus, N. M.) Aug. 2.—Mimic battles and rescues under fire featured the pageant with which the Tenth United States cavalry today celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its formation. This fighting unit, commissioned at what is now Fort Sill, Okla., July 28, 1866, during most of its life has seen service west of the Mississippi, but in addition to winning laurels in wars against the Indians it has distinguished itself at Santiago, Cuba, in the Philippines and most recently in Mexico, notably at Carrizal. The anniversary celebration, given in the early evening before regimental officers and soldiers and all former officers of the regiments now with the expeditionary column, was unique in the annals of military anniversaries and was conceived by Lieut. Col. Charles Young of the Tenth, a West Point graduate, who has reached the highest rank in the regular army ever attained by a Negro. Introducing the different episodes of the pageant, which depicted the history of the regiment, a non-comissioned officer, clad in heraldic trappings, recited stanzas of blank verse, composed by Colonel Young, which gave a synopsis of the scenes presented. The opening stanza for "The Rooky Roll Call" follows: "Come ye! Come ye and behold, how from beginnings small and troubles numberless full fifty years ago was born this military child; from cabin home and plantation soil; from sons of slaves—men whose faces are black." The first two episodes of the pageant contrasted the men as they appeared and drilled fifty years ago and as they are drilled today. The third, which fifty troopers appeared as Indians appeared, illustrated a brilliant feat by an officer of the Tenth. Lieut. Powhattan Clarke returned under fire during a fight with Indians to rescue a wounded trooper. Wanton of the machine-gun troop, one of the fur medal-of-honor men on the regimental rolls, was the central figure in the fourth episode. He was escorted across the field of honor by a guard bearing wreaths on their sabre's points. Fifth illustrated the part of the Tenth took in the battle of Santiago, Cuba. The sixth was presented by A troop which carried banners bearing the names of the battles in which the regiment has fought and those of its commanders who received a general's star. At the close of the celebration the call to the colors was sounded and regimental spirit reached a climax in a great burst of cheering, ending with the singing of "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah." OBITUARY (From Detroit Leader, July 28.) Charles Smithea, Jr., born October 3rd, 1969, in Denver, Colorado, to Mrs. Anna Newman Smithea and Mr. Chas. Smithea, fell asleep in Jesus, June 17th, 1916, at Herman Kiefer Hospital after an illness of nine days. But for our dear Lord Jesus and the band of Angels, who hovered around his little white bed, to accompany his spirit home, our darling would have been alone in those his last moments on earth. The mother, in another room, lay stricken with the same dreadful disease (diphtheria). The kind nurse had bent over him but a few moments before, and left him "sleeping quietly." Upon her return the little darling's pure, spotless soul had joined the throng before the throne of God, his voice blending with theirs, while they sang "Hosanna to Our King." I have no doubt but that ere this they have learned from him a new song, "I'm Drinking From the Fountain That Never Shall Run Dry." The little fellow had attended church with his parents but a few times, (I think twice) when I first heard him singing the refrain of that soul stirring melody "Beulah Land" as he played. I called him to me and asked him to sing for me, he threw back his little shoulders and head and with his beautiful eyes flashing with the spirit of the song, he sang the chorus, all he had then caught from the singing of the great Congregation at the Second Baptist Church, though for me. I was amazed. Charles was a most remarkable child, honest, truthful, generous, unselfish, to a fault, and he loved, O, how he loved his "mother" and "daddy." He captured the hearts of all who saw him, men, women and children, all had a kind word, a touch on the head, for this beautiful boy, as they passed him at play before our door. He was a child in years and statue, but he spoke and thought like a man. He was always careful of the feelings of others, always ready to make excuses for other faults, always a little comforter. If he could not think of the words to express his sympathy for "Mother" should she be suffering with a bad headache, he would tip toe to her bedside, pat her hand, lay his little cheek against hers or touch her hair, and tip toe out again to play. Again and again he would slip in just to look at her. In the morning after one of her bad headaches he would remain in his own bed playing with some little thing he had fallen to sleep with in his hands, sometimes it was only a piece of string, until she called him; so great and manlike was his consideration for "Mother." Is it to be wondered at, that God had need of him, in His Angelic Choir—and took him back again? "For the Lord gave him, "The Lord hath taken him away, "Blessed be the name of the Lord." Our house, our street appears to be empty since he left us; but we believe that he will be near his loved ones, to guard and to comfort them through the trials yet to come upon them. That all of us will be better men and better women for having had him come into our lives. "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven" said our Lord. Those of us who knew and loved Charles will pray daily to our Heavenly Father to help us to be grateful that our darling was not allowed to linger for a long period upon a bed of suffering, and, that we may learn the lesson of love and fidelity so beautifully portrayed in his young life. Yes,—and that we may soon, be able to say from our hearts, "The Will Be Done." M. PORTER COLE. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES RESULT FROM BOYCOTT Philadelphia, Pa.—A $20,000 stock company has been incorporated by the Citizens' Republican Club of this city, Amos Scott, president, to operate a grocery store. Stock was freely subscribed for. As a result of the recent boycott of Jewish merchants on South street one large meat market and two grocery stores have already been opened and others will be soon. The meat market, opened at 1814 South street, operated by Negroes, sold more than two tons of meat last week to Negro patrons. Another business movement was the organization of the Progressive Business Association, with Grant Williams as president. This body has a membership of 100 and they pledge themselves to patronize race business enterprises, especially those conducted by members of the organization. E. A. Makel and W. B. Southern are vice presidents, C. E. Brown, corresponding secretary and A. B. McKinsey, treasurer. COLORED BANKERS MAKE BIG DEAL. Of interest financially to the race is the announcement of the formation of a syndicate headed by Brown & Stevens Bankers of Philadelphia, and W. H. C. Brown, Investment Bankers, of Washington, D. C., and others, which syndicate has underwritten the entire new issue of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) capital, and surplus of the Standard Life Insurance Company. When this company which is the only company in the world owned and operated by the race, was organized, it was necessary to secure the aid of white banking institutions, to help finance it. It is a signal advance in the history of financial affairs of the race that a group of colored financial institutions can undertake, and carry forward a project involving so large an amount of money. It is very creditable to these financial institutions that their resources enable them to carry on such undertakingsrought with so much good to the race, and which will result profitably to themselves, the public and the company. This stock will be offered to the public by the syndicate and an opportunity to participate in the organization.—Philadelphia Tribune. NO 51 The two notable events of last week in Boulder made the week the gala week of the summer. Thursday evening was the occasion of the Midsummer Musicale by the Allen Chapel Choir. It proved to be the finest treat in years. The three visiting performers showed themselves artists of the first quality. Mr. George Morrison of Denver never played with more soulful feeling than he did then in his "La Grreciese Mazurka" by Moffat and "Tumoreske" by Dvorak Miss Jennie Hicks re-established herself as the real Colorado song-bird by her presentation of "Chanson Provencilae" and "Song of the Soul." Miss Mary Thomas of Kansas City surpassed the most sanguine expectations by her wonderful and expressive reading of "The Death of Adele." Very excellent piano selections were given by Miss Cleora Reeves—Opus, 35, Faust, by Reybach—and by Miss Hazel McVey, Boulder's favorite pianists, "The Lorely." Reeves and Morrison String quartet turned over the cup of laughter with its usual sweet melody of fun. Great amazement was shown over the fact that the choir of six voices handled "The Heavens Are Telling" and "Inflammatus et Accensus" with such power and expression. Miss Hicks gained additional honors by singing the soprano obligato to the latter. Boulder will long remember this musicale and the artists who appeared. The church was crowded with an audience of both whites and colored. Boulder had long been expecting the visit of Bishop H. B. Parks and turned out in large numbers to hear him preach on Friday night. Despite the stellar attractions at The Chautauqua a good number of prominent white people were present to meet this great race and church man. He warmed the hearts of all his listeners in his usual stirring manner. Boulder will not soon forget this honored visitor. Revs. Pope and Ward accompanied the Bishop to Boulder. Mrs Bruce and daughter of Springfield, Mo., are here visiting the daughter of Mrs. Bruce, Mrs. Thelma Williams. Mrs. Cora Alexander suffered a very severely sprained arm last Friday when she accidentally fell upon it, twisting it behind her. She was taken to the University hospital to have it attended. Foreman Geo. Reeves and his gang worked all day Sunday to repair the washout on the C. & S. which endangered many lives. Rev, and Mrs. A. W. Ward were at home on Monday night to the many friends complimentary to the summer visitors. An impromptu musicale made the evening pass pleasantly.

About 125 Members of Recently Formed Association Discuss Plans at Denver Meeting, Western Newspaper Union News Service, Denver—Grain dealers who gath- ered here from all parts of the state to attend the first annual conyention of the Denver Grain Exchange Asso- ciation brought reports of a wheat crop this year that is more than ful- filling expectations, Estimates gathered from various delegates placed the total crop at 15,000,000’ bushels. F. G. Olson, one of the delegates, said that the qual- Ity of the crop was usually fine and that the prices being paid the farmers 4s better than it was a year ago. The grain men came together to talk over various phases of the in- dustry, which is rapidly coming to the front in the state, and in the devel- opment of which the Denver Grain Exchange has played an important part. ‘This exchange was organized last yea and has been regularly en- gaged in sampling and inspecting grain and conducting business along the same lines as the Chicago and Omaha Grain exchanges. The convention was attended by about 125 dealers. It would have been much larger, one of the dele- gates explained, but for the fact that the crop this year is much earlier than usual on account of the favor- able season and the men are engaged in preparations for the harvest. “The production this year will be about 15,000,000 bushels of both win- ter and spring wheat,” said Mr. Ol- son. “That ts just about the same amount as last year, though the acre- age is larger. The crop is of fine quality, though the yield per acre has shown a slight decrease. The farm- ers are getting from 95 cents to $1 per bushel this year as compared with 92 and 95 cents last year, so that in estimating the entire production it is of much greater value to the state than last year’s crop.” ©.

S. UNPREPAREDNESS. FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE Declares for Just Interests of Labor Conservation of Natural Resources and for National Western Newspaper Union News Service. New York, Aug. 1.—Charles E. Hughes outlined in his speech of acceptance the issues upon which he will conduct his campaign for the presidency. Governors of three states, many United States senators, about 100 representatives in Congress, many delegates to the Republican and Progressive national conventions and chairmen of the state committees of both parties witnessed the notification ceremonies in Carnegie hall. Senator Warren Harding of Ohio, who presided at the Chicago convention, presided at this meeting and delivered the notification speech. Mr. Hughes was the only other speaker. His family and friends occupied two boxes. Mr. Hughes was frequently interrupted by laughter and applause. After delivering his speech he was host at a reception to the notification committee and the invited guests to the notification ceremony. Col. Theodore Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt were present. Former President Taft telegraphed from Canada that he would be unable to arrive, stating in his telegram to James B. Reynolds, secretary of the national committee, that he regretted that he could not be present at a "great occasion, to hear a great speech, an augury of victory." Mr. Hughes, in his speech, assailed the administration for the course it has pursued with reference to Mexico, maintenance of American rights during the European war, preparedness and other great questions of the day. For Firm Policy. He declared for a new policy of "firmness and consistency" toward Mexico, for "the unflinching maintenance of all American rights on land and sea" and "for adequate national defense—adequate protection on both our western and eastern coasts." "We denounce all plots and conspiracies in the interest of any foreign nation," Mr. Hughes said. "Utterly intolerable is the use of our soil for alien intrigues. Every American must unreservedly condemn them and support every effort for their suppression." The nominee assailed the administration for its "direction of diplomatic intercourse" from the beginning, declaring that where there should have been conspicuous strength and expertise there had been weakness and inexperience. He cited Santo Domingo as an instance where appointments had gone to "Deserving Democrats" and to the failure to continue Ambassador Herrick at his post in Paris as after the war had started as "a lamentable sacrifice of international repute." Favors Woman's Suffrage. "I indorse the declaration in the platform in favor of woman's suffrage," Mr. Hughes declared. And he added, "Opposition may delay but in my judgment cannot defeat this movement. I favor the vote for women." VILLISTAS KILL AMERICANS. Carranzistas Help U. S. Troops in Battle Near Fort Hancock, Texas. Chihuahua City, Mex.—Two clashes between Villistas and government troops, in both of which the bandits suffered heavy losses, were reported to Gen. Trevino. Col. Lopez reported from Santa Rosalia that a detachment under Capt. Bautista engaged the band of Benito Castro. Castro was killed, as were twelve of his men, while Capt. Bautista lost two men and was himself wounded in a hand-to-hand struggle. Gen. Trevino immediately ordered Capt. Bautista here to be rewarded. El Paso, Tex.—American soldiers, reinforced by a small detachment of Carranzistas, engaged Mexican bandits who had crossed the Rio Grande into the United States below Fort Hancock, Tex., and fifty-five miles east of here. Two Americans were killed and one was wounded, while three of the outlaws were killed and two escaped across the river into Mexico and were pursued by Mexican troops and a detachment of the Carranza customs guard. Arrested on Manslaughter Charge. New York.-President E. B. Thomas of the Lehigh Valley railroad and President W. G. Besler of the Central railroad of New Jersey probably will be arrested on charges of manslaughter in connection with the explosion on Black Tom island, it was announced Monday by Frank Hague, commissioner of public safety of Jersey City. Three officials of companies situated on Black Tom already are under arrest and a warrant is out for a fourth. The same charge has been preferred against all. One-fourth of the speech was devoted to Mexico. Step after step taken by the administration with reference to Mexico was assailed, from the days of Huerta to the note sent the de facto government by the State Department June 20 last, part of which was quoted in the speech. The seizure of Vera Cruz, the nominee said, "was war, of course." "Later we retired from Vera Cruz," he continued, "giving up this noble warfare. Recently the naked truth was admitted by a cabinet officer. We are now informed that we did not go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta to salute the flag. We are told that we went there to 'show Mexico that we were in earnest in our demand that Huerta must go.'" America, Mr. Hughes continued, has no policy of aggression toward Mexico, no desire for any part of her territory, but wishes her to have peace, stability and prosperity. "Brave Words in Notes." "The conduct of the administration has created difficulties we shall have to surmount," he said. "We demand from Mexico the protection of the lives and property of our citizens and the security of our border from depredations." Safeguarding American rights abroad had not been accomplished by the administration, he said. There had been "brave words in a series of notes," but "what does it avail to use some of the strongest words known to diplomacy if ambassadors receive the impression that the words are not to be taken seriously?" The nominee reiterated his declaration that had this government left no doubt that it meant to hold Germany to "strict accountability," there would have been no loss of life on the Lusitania. Discussing preparedness, Mr. Hughes said it was apparent that the United States was "shockingly unprepared." Fails in Responsibilities. "The administration has failed to discharge its responsibilities," Mr. Hughes continued. "Apparently it is now seeking to meet political exigencies by its naval program. But it has imposed on the country an incompetent naval administration. "We demand adequate protection on both our western and eastern coasts. We demand thoroughness and efficiency in both arms of the service. It seems to be plain that our regular army is too small. We are too great a country to require of our citizens who are engaged in peaceful vocations the sort of military service to which they are now called." Of the present prosperity Mr. Hughes said: "We are living in a fool's paradise." It is, he said, a prosperity brought about by the abnormal conditions of war. For the protection of the industries and workingmen of the United States against the competition of "an energized Europe," Mr. Hughes said it was plain that we must have protective, upbuilding policies. Other measures, too, should be applied, he said, notably the upbuilding of a merchant marine. International Tribunal. To make peace lasting and effective when the present war shall end, Mr. Hughes advocated the formation of an international tribunal to dispose of controversies of a justifiable sort, backed by the cooperation of the nations to prevent war before peaceful methods of adjustment end. Mr. Hughes also declared for the "conservation of the just interests of labor," for conservation of natural resources and for a national budget. "Our opponents promised economy, but they have shown a reckless extravagance. It is time we had fiscal reform." Mr. Hughes closed with an indorsement of the Republican platform adopted by the national convention, and a formal acceptance of the nomination. BLAST WRECKS HASTINGS HOME. Dynamite Exploded on Roof of Coal Miner's Dwelling. Trinidad, Colo.—Dynamite placed on the roof of a one-story dwelling of Steve Antanoche, a coal miner at Hastings, wrecked the house and did small damage to other houses in the close vicinity. Antanoche and his wife asleep in one room, and their ten-year-old daughter in another, escaped without injury. All were violently shaken up. No motive for the dynamiting has been assigned. This is the second dynamiting outrage of recent occurrence. The house of Superintendent Charles O'Neill at Starkville was wrecked by dynamite placed on the window sill on the night of July 20th. Germans Drive Russians Back. Berlin.—Strong Russian assaults in mass formation against the troops of Gen. von Linsingen were repulsed with the heaviest losses to the attackers, said the section of the German official statement Monday dealing with the eastern front. The Germans captured 1,889 Russians. Federal Officers to Drop Charge AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Robert R. Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee institute, will carry on Booker T. Washington's great work in uplifting the Negro race, Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute and member of the General Education board, told the National Education association convention at New York. "Booker Washington's life was a distinct victory for the Negro race and for the ideas for which Hampton stands," said Doctor Frissell. "Washington carried from Hampton to Alabama a strong belief in the moral value of regular habits of industry. At the Tuskegee school Hampton ideas were reproduced. Throughout Washington's life he laid emphasis upon duties rather than upon rights. While he was sensitive to the injustices which his race suffers, he felt that the best preventive of injustice is improvement in physical, mental and moral conditions. Because of his real love for men, both white and black, and because he was able to render great and valuable service to both races, Doctor Washington exercised an influence second, perhaps, to that of no other man in this country. "Robert R. Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee, who was commandant at Hampton for many years, like Doctor Washington, spent part of his boyhood in an excellent Virginia home, where he learned to love white people and believe in their kindly disposition toward the blacks. This love and faith he has never lost. Booker T. Washington had certain noteworthy characteristics, possessed also by Robert Moton, in the production of which Hampton may at least claim a share—faith, love, modesty and service. "Washington and Moton, carrying out Hampton's idea of education for service, believed in the educational value of daily activities. Both preached the doctrine of training the hands, the head and the heart. A Negro bishop has been assigned to St. Louis by the African M. E. Zion church, which recently held its general conference at Louisville, Ky. Rt. Rev. L. W. Kyles of Winston-Salem, N. C., former editor of the Quarterly Review, has been elected to preside over the Missouri conference, which embraces Missouri, southern Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and California. The growth of the denominational work of the Zion church in St. Louis during the last five years, under the leadership of Rev. B. G. Shaw, through the establishment of a social settlement in connection with the Metropolitan church, at Lucas and Garrison avenues, has placed St. Louis in the lead as a religious center. The educational secretary of the denomination, Prof. J. W. Martin, has been directed to transfer his headquarters to St. Louis. Professor Martin for the last ten years has been president of Atkinson college. He will have charge of 14 schools and colleges, valued at more than $800,000, and will annually dispense an educational fund of $50,000. Captain Morey says the colored troopers sang as they faced death at Carrizal. It will be remembered that the colored troops which helped to storm San Juan hill in the Spanish war went up into the rain of Spanish fire singing "The Star-Spangled Banner." This bravery and devotion ought to be held to the lasting credit of their race in the time to come.—Baltimore American. Public Service Commissioner Hayward of New York, who announced his intention of raising a Negro regiment for service in Mexico, if necessary, received scores of applications for membership. Four recruiting stations were opened, one on Lenox avenue, between One Hundred and Thirtieth and One Hundred and Fortieth streets; one in what is known as the San Juan hill district, one in Brooklyn, and a fourth in the suburbs. Colonel Hayward does not believe there will be much difficulty in getting the war department to permit Major Charles Young of the Tenth cavalry, now in Mexico, to take charge of the instruction of the new regiment. In Denmark the cost of living continues to advance. Considering the selling price of foodstuffs, textiles, metals, lumber, oils and labor as 100 in 1913, the index number last March was 182.2. It is not believed that the end of the war will result in great relief. A semicircular top for automobiles that drops down out of sight behind the seat when not in use has been patented by a Colorado inventor. A new tooth brush has a hollow head and can be connected with a rubber tube to an elevated reservoir for liquids to make it a fountain afair. For propelling a boat a Frenchman has invented paddle wheels which may be attached to any boat and revolved by a man pulling at oarlike handles. An asbestos pad to hold water for moistening stamps or envelope flaps that is fastened to the back of a person's hand has been patented. Rev. A. Eustace Day, rector of St. Paul's (colored) church, Atlanta, Ga., and head of St. Paul's Industrial school, met his death June 19 from heart failure, induced by overexertion while in the water at Fernandina Beach, Fla. For some months he had been suffering from the ill effects of overwork, and, on the advice of his bishop, was taking a vacation at Brunswick, Ga. He went on an excursion of the colored churches of Brunswick to Fernandina, went into the water, and was playing with the children, of whom he was very fond, when the cry arose, "Father Day is drowning!" A life line was thrown out and he was brought ashore alive, but died almost immediately. For 12 years he has ministered to the congregation of St. Paul's church and conducted the school connected with the mission. The school has steadily grown until now it has 250 pupils and covers all the grammar grades, besides kindergarten, industrial training, and commercial courses. He was greatly loved and respected by the people of his own race and stood high in the esteem of the bishop and white clergy of his diocese. The burial service was conducted by the bishop of Atlanta, assisted by Rev. J. J. N. Thompson, rector of St. Athanasius' (colored) church, Brunswick, Ga., in the A. M. E. church at Blackshear, Ga., Rev. Mr. Day's old home. His death is a severe loss to the colored work in the diocese of Atlanta. Fifty-two years a servant in one place is the record of Uncle Abe McClinney, who has waited on the dining table of the Judson Female college at Marion, Ala., ever since 1864. He is personally known and affectionately regarded by thousands of women all over the country who have attended that institution since the Civil war. The alumnae of Judson recently donated enough to restore McClinney's home, which was destroyed by fire. Uncle Abe is an old Negro of war times. His record for the same job at the college is said to be the longest in the country. In Marion there are almost twenty antebellum Negroes, whose attachment and service of early life bound them until death in the esteem of the white race. None is better known and more highly esteemed than Uncle Abe. He is still on the job, which he says he will hold down until he dies. When Dr. O. L. Shivers was called by the trustees to Judson to take charge of the boarding department in an effort to keep the institution going when Alabama was prostrate from war, he carried Uncle Abe with him, and the old Negro has served through the succeeding many admin-instrations. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the District of Columbia (colored) closed its annual session in Washington, D. C., after having elected and installed John S. Jackson as grand chancellor; Alexander Henderson, vice grand chancellor; James F. Armstrong, grand prelate; W. W. Cochran, grand master of exchequer; J. Clay Smith, grand keeper of record and seal; P. W. Busey, grand master at arms; Charles Neil, grand marshal; Sir Campbell, grand lecturer; L. E. Murray, grand representative; S. E. Minor and Messrs. Cheatam and Wade, trustees. The installation exercises were in charge of Past Grand Chancellor M. F. Johnson. All the fragmentary accounts so far received of the bloody fight between Mexican troops and American cavalrymen at Carrizal agree that the colored soldiers who were attacked by much larger numbers made a gallant defense. They inflicted heavy losses upon a far more powerful force, the Mexican general in command being one of the slain. The little band of troopers fought until they had suffered very heavy losses, in proportion to their number, and they did their full duty in a position which made success hopeless. This is not the first nor the tenth time that colored soldiers in the service of the United States have shown themselves hard fighters and brave men. In many actions, under widely different conditions, they have been tested and found equal to every reasonable demand. If ever war should come it will be safe to predict that the colored troops of the United States army will make good records and that they will abundantly wipe out the score they have to settle for the treacherous butchery of their comrades of the Tenth cavalry. Every time a widower looks at a spinster the gossips get busy. Russia's Caucasus district, with a population of more than 12,000,000, offers an excellent market for toilet soaps and perfumery, a consular report says. In the 15 years electric street railways in the United States have increased at a very nearly steady rate of about 3,000 miles a year.

DONIPHAN, 1721 Marion St. SELLS-FLOTO A "SAFETY FIRST" CIRCUS COMING ON MON- DAY, AUG. 7. The Sells-Floto Circus, Champion Shows of the World, is to be here on Monday, Aug. 7, thus affording resi- dents of this and adjoining towns an opportunity of seeing what has been admitted to be the greatest amu- ment aggregation ever organized. There is no show in this country that has won for itself a reputation for merit and care of its patrons as has the Sells-Floto Circus. It might well be called the "Safety First" circus, for every provision possible for the safety of its audiences has been taken. Even the lemonade of the Sells-Floto circus is served on safety first principles. There is no chance of the transmission of disease, for the reason that the lemonade is sold in individual glasses. But that is only the beginning. Thru the invention of William Curtis, superintendent of the Sels-Floto Circus, no matter how the wind may blow, no matter what storms there may be, there is no danger in the circus. The seats cannot fall; they are guyed together with cables of steel instead of being placed by the old "toe-pin" system. They can even be erected on a paved street and hold safely twice as many persons as the room provides for. The poles of the circus cannot be blown down, for the same reason, that their guy ropes are of steel. The tent cannot burn because it has been fireproofed. Not a feature has been neglected about the great Sels-Floto circus to make it absolutely safe. According to the promises that have been made, there's much that is worth seeing this year. Among the exciting things is to be the riding of Rose Rosaland, who is the only woman to master the feat of somersaulting from horse to horse. There's a baby elephant and three herds of grown-upones, including Snyder, the elephant who walks like a man and the only elephant carrying its trainer on its tusk. There are forty fun-making clowns and Jumping Jupiter, the champion auto hurdling horse of the world. Then as special features there are Jess Williard, "champion heavyweight of the world," and Frank Gotch, "wrestling champion of the world." Jess Williard will make his first appearance in the arena in his old role of cowboy at the head of Buffalo Bill Wild West Cowboys. His second appearance will be in the concert when he will appear in ring costume and with his sparring partner illustrate how he won the championship and the punches given in his latest fight with Frank Moran at Madison Square Garden. Frank Gotch, the hercules of the wrestling world, is the man who has defeated the universe. These two world's champions, heading an all champions Program with the world's champion circus cannot fail to attract both young and old. On the morning of the day that the show will be here a grand free street parade will be given, and even if you do not intend to witness the performance, you should not miss this mighty street parade. It is said to be the greatest street demonstration ever seen, and as the show has made nearly all the larger cities and been lauded to the very limit by the press and patrons allike, there is no reason to doubt anything that is promised for the parade or anything connected with this stupendous enterprise. Two performances are to be given. The afternoon performance at 2 o'clock and the evening performance at 8 o'clock. The doors will open one hour earlier. CAMMEL & CO.

The girl, she told Marriage License Clerk Ruedel, who is infatuated with Wright, whom she has known only three months, has twice attempted to commit spicide when her parents sought to keep her away from him, and has threatened to kill herself if she is not allowed to marry him. Mrs. DeLand said she and her husband idolize the child, and as the only solution of the problem, as they saw it, were willing to make this sacrifice to save their child from self-destruction. Deland is foreman of a railroad gang and has worked with Wright for the past nine months. Miss Alice has known Wright for only three months. Ruedi questioned the girl and Wright who accompanied the mother to the city hall. The girl, who is timid and shy looking, spoke in a tone so low she could hardly be heard and repeatedly looked at Wright as if appealing to him to aid her in answering. Ruedi informed the prospective bride and bridegroom that the Missouri laws did not permit the marriage of white and colored. The trio was downcast at this announcement, and Mrs. DeLand inquired where such marriages were permitted. "I do not know what states permit them," said Ruedi, "but take my advice and do not try any of the Southern states. Mrs. Alfred Norton of Oakland, Calif., is visiting in our city for a few days.

What the War is Costing. The war is now costing in direct governmental expenditure $110,000,-000 a day; $4,580,000 an hour; $76,000 a minute; and $1,270 a second. The end of the second year of the great war finds the Germans in possession of more of Europe than they held on August 1, 1915, the first anniversary of the start of the great conflict. This is practically the only respect in which the situation is more favorable to them. Russia, her vast man power at last organized and furnished with implements of destruction in plenty, is battering the Teuton lines on the east and has already won back 4,500 square miles. Great Britain boasts five million men in her army and navy. France fights as strongly as ever. Italy is increasing her formidableness. Austria appears to be losing heart and efficiency. Bulgaria refuses to send re-enforcements to the west or Russian fronts. Turkey shows slight offensive power. The British navy, following the much-disputed naval battle of Jutland, still shuts off Germany from use of the seas. One German merchant submarine has reached America, but the supplies which can be carried over to the besieged nations in U-boats will be of little account. Germany and Austria both feel the pinch of hunger. Their armies are sufficiently fed, but their industrial workers complain of lack of nourishment. The present harvest is watched with anxiety, and if it fails or is only of fair size, famine will stalk into the situation next spring, or earlier. Germany Seeks "Reasonable Peace" The German chancellor three times in the reichstag has offered peace to the entente. On account of this, formidable opposition has arisen to him at home, although he is the kaiser's "other self." His friends are rallying to his defense, and on August 1 of the present year begins the curious country-wide lecture campaign to prepare the minds of the hitherto docile German people for a "reasonable peace." Meanwhile, with the sky brightening, the entente allies reaffirm their resolution, taken in the dark hours of rast winter, never to cease their efforts till Germany is crushed. The Teutons not only must be beaten in war, according to the allied formula, but must be repressed economically for many years after the signing of a treaty of peace. On August 1, 1915, the Germans and Austrians were in the midst of their brilliant campaign against Russia. The "pincers" were closing in irresistibly. That day Lublin, an important city in southern Poland, fell. Von Mackensen, with Galicia conquered, was pressing northward, while on the north side of the Polish salient Von Hindenburg bore with his host of field-gray warriors. Without guns, without ammunition, with nothing except myriads of Slav giants, some of whom resisted charges with sharpened sticks in their hands, Russia was forced to fall back rapidly. Twice it seemed the flower of the czar's army would be surrounded, once in the vielynth of Warsaw, and again in the great battle near Villna. The tale of the taking of great towns grew almost tedious. It seemed the Germans would never stop. Whether they did stop of their own accord or were finally checked by the Russians is not yet clear. They settled down for the winter on a long line stretching from the Baltic just west of Riga southeast along the Dvina river, and then almost due south through Pollesie, the Pinsk marsh district, to the Roumanian frontier. Reawakening of Russia. On September 8 Czar Nicholas took command of all his armies in the field, sending his cousin, the Grand Duke Nicholas, to the less important command of the Caucasus operations. With their "Little Father" at their head, the Russians forgot their long, discouraging retreat. Millions of new young soldiers joined them, drawn from Russia's great reservoir of human beings, which produces three and a half million men of military age every year. On September 10 the Russians won a success near Turnopol and Tremblowa, and two days later they drove the Teutons back 14 miles in Galicia. In other parts of the front the Germans were still seizing large slices of territory, but their enemies were regaining their energy. On September 26 the Russians recaptured Lutsk, but were driven out in a short time. On October 20 they recaptured Czartorysk, but they were not able to prevent the Germans storming Illuxti five days later. Czartorysk was lost and again taken by the czar January 8. Meanwhile the conquest of Serbia, the greatest tragedy of the war, excepting only the massacre of 800,000 Armenians, was being enacted. Invasion of Serbia. The real invasion of Serbia started in the first days of October. A great diplomatic battle had been fought in Sofia, and the allies had lost. On October 7 Bulgaria in an ultimatum to King Peter of Serbia, peremptorily demanded the immediate cession of the Macedonian lands in dispute between the two countries and then in the possession of the Serbs. After a general bombardment the Teutons crossed the river boundaries of Serbia in many places on October 8. Two days later they occupied Belgrade. On the thirteenth Bulgaria invaded her neighbor at three points. The successes of the Teutons and the Bulgarians were almost unbroken. The invading forces consisted of a vast amount of heavy artillery, with small infantry supporting forces. They shelled the Serbians out of position after position in an avalanche of steel to which the Serbians could make no reply. Small forces of French and English landed at Salonikl, a Greek port to which Serbia had certain entry privileges, and did something to cover the retreat of the Serbians by engaging the Bulgarians in the South. At the beginning of winter, November 22, the Serbian soldiers crossed their western border and struck the trails of the dreary, snow-covered mountains of the coast. Great numbers perished of cold and hunger on the way. On November 29 Germany proudly announced that the Serbian campaign had ended, having met with complete success. Two Blows to the British. The winter also saw the humiliation of the British in Mesopotamia. The Indian government recklessly pushed a small, poorly supplied expedition up the Tigris valley and actually penetrated to within seven miles of Bagdad. Here the Turks, with German officers directing them, administered a defeat and the invaders fell back with the enemy harassing them to the town of Kut-el-Amara, where they were besieged December 10. Another expedition, also insufficient, was sent to relieve the first. It was beaten off with large losses a few miles below Kut, a flood of the river and swamps assisting the Turks, and on April 30 the 12,000 defenders of Kut capitulated by order of the British higher command. A further British humiliation was the evacuation of Gallipoli peninsula, where the British held on doggedly month after month, losing perhaps 200,000 men, until they were finally withdrawn in confession of failure the first week of January. These two British fascos were what was needed to arouse the sluggish fighting blood of John Bull. They finally brought England into the war fully and uncompromisingly, to the same extent as the other great powers. On August 10 Great Britain stated her national register, or census of all men of fighting age. The result showed a vast reserve of man power. Certain sections demanded immediate conscription, but they were not successful. Instead the earl of Derby was commissioned to start a vast recruiting campaign. This produced a number of classes of "attested men," who bound themselves to come into the ranks with their age groups. But there were still hundreds of thousands unreached, and the public began to see that it was discriminating in favor of the "slackers" and the cowards. On December 21 David Lloyd-George, the minister of munitions and greatest man the war has produced in Great Britain, declared the country faced defeat unless greater efforts were made. A week later he threatened to resign from the cabinet unless conscription was adopted. Conscription was fiercely fought, but on January 6 a bill introducing it passed its first reading in the house of commons by a large majority. The bill was finally signed by Kling George May 26. Allies Get Together. Ailes Get Together. Their defeats finally taught the allies that their efforts must be co-ordinated, like their enemies', if they were to be effective. A new war council, with all the allies represented, met in Paris December 7 and a kind of international general staff was organized. It is known that General Joseph Joffre, French commander in chief since the beginning of the war, and the hero of the battle of the Marne, was the presiding genius. The effects of the council were not to be seen for several months, but now they are being realized in full measure. To check a simultaneous allied offensive, which they clearly saw coming, the Teutons decided on two attacks of their own. This follows the well-known axiom of German military strategy that the best defense is an energetic attack. The first of these offensive defensives was the attack on the French fortress of Verdun, where the works were subjected to a whirlwind of fire beginning February 21.—The gains of the first week were great, and German critics foretold the collapse of the French. Two of the defending forts, Vaux and Douaumont, fell, and important positions were taken west of the Meuse river as well. But Joffre rallied his men in splendid fashion and sold each yard of ground at an awful cost in German blood. Step by step the crown prince's men pushed forward, but today they are still more than two miles from the ruined fortress town and the resistance of the French is as strong as ever. Austrian Drive Checked. The second Teutonic offensive was organized by the Austrians in the Trentino, and they struck in the direction of Vicenza with the object of cutting off the northern end of Italy from the main portion. On May 28, as the result of several days' violent artillery fire followed by infantry rushes, they were able to announce the capture of 24,000 Italians. General Count Cadorna hurried about a hundred thousand men in motor cars to the scene, while many more arrived on foot or trains. Just when it seemed the Austrians must reach the lowlands the counter-attacks were delivered. On June 30 Rome announced a splendid victory. In bloody fighting the Austrians, perhaps weakened by drafts to bolster up their Russian front, were driven from peak to peak almost to where their lines had stood throughout the winter. In March the Russians delivered vast but futile attacks on the German front at many points, probably to distract attention from Verdun. The Germans seemed to have been hulled into security by these efforts, which they probably considered the best the czar could do. But the tens of thousands of Muscovite bodies lining the Germans' barbed wire were but a patter of rain compared with the storm that was brewing behind the Russian lines. At the beginning of June this storm broke with full force and, following the principle of attacking the weakest point, the Austrians holding the line from the marsh district southward were forced to bear the brunt of it. Russia's Big Push. Millions of shells, manufactured largely in British, Japanese and American factories, blasted away wire, trenches, dugouts and observation points. Then the hordes of Siberians, Cossacks and others swept over the field. The Austrians could not withstand the impact and they gave way steadily. June 6, General Brusiloff announced the capture of 13,000 Austrians; June 8, the number for the three succeeding days alone was 43,000, and the numbers kept mounting until on July 20 General Shoovieff, Russian minister of war, estimated the number of Austro-Hungarian prisoners at 270,000. The killed and wounded are untold, but the number must be large enough to bring the total loss well over half a million. German support was rushed to the Austrians, but the foe captured Lutsk and Dubno, and reached the Stokhod and Lipa rivers in Volhynia; overran all Bukowina to the Carpathians and sent patrols of Cossacks into Hungary to ravage the country. That the czar is anticipating further great gains of territory is seen from Russia's action in mobilizing the males of the island of Saghalien, Turkestan, and one other district to build roads, dig trenches and do other work of organizing the ground won. Allies' Drive in Somme Region. Allies' Drive in Somme Region. Almost a month to a day following the beginning of the great Russian offensive French and British opened their drive in the vicinity of the Somme river. They have gained gradually but steadily, and the official reports assert the losses of the attackers are comparatively small. It is also the claim of the allies that the Franco-British offensive can be kept up at its present rate indefinitely, and will not have to be slackened for lack of shells, guns or men. The rate of progress is much greater than the Germans' at Verdun, but the country traversed is less difficult. On the other hand, the Verdun assailants have the advantage of attacking from the outside of a curve, while the French and British now attack from inside the salient they have made in the line. Meanwhile the Verdun offensive of the Germans continues. Outside of Europe the Germans have lost their Cameroon colony on the west coast of Africa, the remaining defenders having crossed into Spanish territory and been interned. The army of East Africa still resists the converging columns of Belgians, French and British but, shut off from re-enforcements, its doom would seem to be sealed. On April 25 Sir Roger Casement, Irish knight, Iried to land from a German warship on the coast of Ireland, but was captured. The next day a revolt in Dublin and other Irish cities broke out and the center of the Irish capital was burned. The revolt was easily quelled, the British announcing resistance had ceased on May 1. More successful was the revolt of the Arabs, led by the grand shereff, against their Turkish overlords. Mecca, Medina and others towns have been captured and are held still, probably with British assistance. Doings in the Air. Recent months have seen a cessation of Zeppelin raids on undefended British and French towns. The cause of this is somewhat of a mystery, as the Germans have claimed important military results from their attacks. On September 7-8 there were two raids on London, thirty persons being killed and a proportionate number wounded. Fifty-five were killed by Zeppelins in a raid on London October 13. On January 20 the German dirigibles bombarded Paris, killing 23 and on February 1 Liverpool and other English centers were visited and 59 slain. On April 2 a Zeppelin killed 28 in England and was destroyed on the British coast as it returned. On March 6 13 were killed. On April 6 it was announced that the fifth Zeppelin raid in six days on the British coast had been made. The Germans declared that war munition factories and supply depots had been destroyed. Since then England apparently has been immune from the Zeppelins. This may be due to the large number of dirigibles lost, or to the outcry against the inhumanity of the practices of the Germans which was raised in neutral countries. One other important moral defeat was sustained by the Germans when they hurried Edith Cavell, a British nurse, to execution, as announced by Brand Whitlock, American minister of Belgium, on October 22. The greatest naval engagement of history in number of men engaged and number slain was fought June 3 near the Skaggerrak, in the North sea. The result was inconclusive, each side claiming a great victory and the reports varying widely in estimates of losses on the two sides. If the Germans, as they assert, seriously crippled the British grand fleet, we will probably soon see them come out of Kiel again, to finish their task. At present, however, the British blockade is broken only by the merchant submarine Deutschland, which reached Baltimore July 9. Kaiser Yields to America. The year has also been the culmination of the submarine dispute between the United States and Germany, which terminated in the kaiser's capitulating and promising to warn merchantmen before attacking. A U-boat sank the liner Arabic August 20, two Americans being among the slain. Two more of our nationals died when the Hesperian was torpedoed September 6. On November 10 several Americans died in the torpedoing of the Italian liner Ancona. It is thought two Americans were lost in the sinking of the Persia in the Mediterranean January 2. The crisis was precipitated March 26, when the British channel ferry steamer Sussex was torpedoed without warning. Two hundred and thirty-five persons were killed and several Americans were injured. This flagrant violation of the rules of war caused President Wilson to press Germany for sweeping assurances, which were given in a note May 6 on condition that the United States force Great Britain to conduct her blockade legally. Mr. Wilson answered he would accept the promise, but without the proviso. The many times heralded Turco-German invasion of Egypt has not yet materialized and probably never will. On the other hand, the Russian grand duke has added to his laurels by capturing the important inland city of Erzerum February 17, Bittls March 4 and the seaport of Trebizond April 19. The Turks in counter-attacks pressed back the Russians in Persia, but recently the czar's men have advanced rapidly in the northern part of Asia Minor and the resistance of the Turks seems to have been broken. Exploits of the Moewe. Only one German commerce raider nct a submarine distinguished itself in the year. The fast Moewe sank many allied ships off the coast of Africa and reached a home port in safety March 6. On February 2 a German prize crew brought the Appam, a British capture, into Hampton Roads, having come all the way across the Atlantic with her. The ownership of this vessel is still in the American courts. Two more nations have been drawn into the war. The entrance of Bulgaria has been described. On March 10 Germany declared war on Portugal, Portuguese and German troops had clashed in Africa some time before and Portugal had just seized the German ships in her harbors. The actions of the republic were induced by a treaty according to which she promises to come to Great Britain's assistance whenever requested to do so. The British lost the equivalent of several army corps when Lord Kitchener was drowned June 7 in the sinking of the cruiser Hampshire by a mine while on his way to Russia. THE PARK Fine Old Trees That Add Beauty to the Homes in the South. Attractive Garden Furniture Which Forms an Interesting Note in Making the Home Grounds Beautiful. PLAN FOR BEAUTY IN GROUNDS By L. M. BENNINGTON. The beauty which is near at hand is often neglected while we prize that which is denied us—we refer to the beauty and desirability of the Celastrus, or bitter sweet vine. This native climber, found in our woods and along our fences, is one of the most satisfactory vines that can be grown about the home. It is as hardy as granite, a quick grower, twining securely about its support and it is not liable to disease. In the fall, when flowers are scarce, it covers itself with clusters of orange-colored fruit, which the frost opens, revealing its crimson seeds. Choose a dark, rainy day, if possible, for the transplanting, otherwise do this work at sunset—we mean in transplanting seedlings. Water the seed bed thoroughly a short time before you begin to transplant, then lift the plants, with all the soil their roots hold, and remove to the permanent bed. Keep the seedlings covered with a wet cloth, so that the heat and wind will not dry them. With a sharp-pointed stick make the hole for the plant and then fill it with water. Plant the seedling in this puddle, drawing the dark soil about the stalk when the ground has been firmed about the plant as much as possible. A miniature water garden is practical and will prove most interesting, needing less attention than a flower bed its size. Have a sugar or vinegar barrel cut in two, or use a wooden tub. Sink this in the soil. Make a potting box about twelve inches square and fill with rich mud from a pond, or use half rich loam, adding to the mud or loam about one-third of well-rotted manure. Plant the nymphae-root in this and place in the tub; fill with water until it is two or three inches deep over the root. When the growth commences and the leaves appear, water may be added from time to time until the tub is full. Never change the water, simply replace that which evaporates. SOME NOTES IN SEASON Prune flowering shrubs as soon as they have finished flowering. The secret of pruning shrubbery, in a nutshell, is to study the habit of growth of each plant, and to strive to encourage it; not alter it to your views. Make a note of the yellow spots on the lawn. If the grass is scanty, the trouble is probably sand or poor soil. The best cure is to dig out the place, and put in some good loam. Then resod the place. If the grass is there, but dead, the trouble is lack of moisture. If the grass on the lawn is growing fast, two mowings a week, allowing the clippings to lie where they fall, is easier than one mowing in ten days or two weeks, followed by a raking to remove the cut grass. Gravel roads and walks that refuse to get solid can be greatly improved by the judicious use of clay. Pulver- ize the latter, and sprinkle evenly. Too much clay will make a sticky road in wet weather, which is far worse than a soft gravel road. To insure a thick privet hedge, cut back three inches every time the plants make six inches of growth. Evergreens from the nursery can be safely transplanted by the end of July. It is important to keep the roots moist, with as much soil adhering as possible. Always keep on the lookout for possible mosquito-breeding places, rain barrels upturned cans, low places in roof gutters, and liquid manure tubs. Drain off and apply kerosene. Make notes this year to guide you in next year's planting plans. If you see a shrub or flower that you admire, find out the name and variety if possible. Replace wooden floors and posts with concrete, and the work is done for all time. Keep all the fence corners cleaned out. More vermin are harbored there than anywhere else on the place. By ordering the various Dutch bulbs—hyacinths, tulips, crocuses, narcissus, daffodils—early, and by enabling your nurseryman to book his order, you can usually get better prices and quality. Pinch off the seed pods from azaleas and rhododendrons to insure good flower buds next year. Give Japanese iris plenty of water to insure good blooms. Use lawn clippings as a mulch for rose bushes. With nearly all plants it is necessary to keep the flowers cut to prolong the bearing season. This is especially true of sweet peas. Flowers that are not making satisfactory growth may be stimulated into activity by liquid manure. Most native wild flowers may be transplanted safely to the home garden if a square piece of soil is cut up with the plants, and the roots are disturbed as little as possible. As fast as flowers fade on the herbaceous plants, remove them. By not allowing seeds to form, the flowering season will be considerably lengthened. The larkspur, if treated in this manner, will produce spikes almost as good as those of the first crop, in late fall, when there are few flowers in the garden. For late flowers of gladiolus plant bulbs not later than July 10. Put in some tuberoses also. Geranium cuttings made early in July will make good winter-flowering plants. During the latter part of the month sow seeds of English daisies, pansies, foxgloves, Canterbury bells, larkspur, etc., in cold frames for next year's flowering. Fill up the gaps left by poppies by transplanting on the cleared ground such annuals as China asters or portulacca. Plant a few pots of oxalis and freesias for early flowers next fall. When watering do it thoroughly. One thorough watering a week is of much more benefit to the plants than a little sprinkle every day. Sprinkling tends to form surface roots, so that the plants suffer more quickly from drought than of deep-rooted.—F. H. S.

TO COOPERATE WITH STATES Uncle Sam Will Pay Half of Cost of Projects Proposed by Local Offi- cials and Approved by the Government. Uncle Sam will spend $85,000,000 during the next few years in the con- struction of rural roads in the United States. ‘This sum is made available by the passage of the federal-aid road bill, which became a law on July 11, 1916. Of this sum, $75,000,000 is to be ex- pended for the construction of rural post roads under co-operative ar. Tangements with the highway depart- ments of the various states, and $10, 000,000 is to be expended for roads and trails within or partly within the national forests. ‘The act limits the federal government's share in road work in co-operation with the states to 50 per cent of the estimated cost of construction. Federal aid may be ex- tended to the construction of any rural post road, excluding all streets or roads in towns having a population of 2,500 or more except the portions of such streets or roads on which the houses are, on an ayerage, more than 200 feet apart. Five million dollars is made ayail- able for expenditure during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1917, and there- after the appropriation is increased at the rate of $5,000,000 a year until 1921, when the sum provided Is $25,- 000,000, making a total of $75,000,000. In addition, an appropriation of $1,- 000,000 a year for ten years, a total of $10,000,000, is made available for the development of roads und trails wholly or partly within the national forests. The class of roads to be built and the method of construction are to be mutually agreed upon by the secretary of agriculture and the state highway departments. Apportionment of Funds. The act provides that after making necessary deductions for administer- ing its provisions not to exceed three per cent of the appropriation for any one fiseal year the secretary of agri- culture shall apportion the remainder of each year’s appropriation in the following manner: One-third in the ratio which the area of each state hears to the total area of all the state.» One-third in the ratio which the population of each state bears to the total population of all the states. One-third in the ratio which the mileage of rural delivery routes and star routes in each state bears to the total mileage of rural delivery routes and star routes in all the states. including water, fuel, ice and other supplies, making its total welght when loaded 185,000 pounds, or 924 tons. ‘The car is specially designed for carrying live fish long distances. In the center of it, running lengthwise on each side, are insulated tanks with a total capacity for 180 10-gallon cans ‘in which to transport fish. During ‘transportation the fish will be fur- nished with oxygen and fresh water by ‘means of air and water pumps, op- erated by a six-horsepower steam boil- er. ‘The boiler will also furnish heat to the car, but in addition to this in- dependent heating system the usual train attachment for heating the car from the locomotive is provided for. ‘Tanks for carrying a reserve water supply are located beneath the car, and an ice box of a capacity of one ton of ice provided. In addition to the facili- ties for the transportation of fish the car is fitted with living accommoda: tions for a crew of five men, a cook's galley, an office and space for a dining room. A permanent crew has been as- signed to the car. Project statements setting forth the proposed construction of any rural post road or roads in a state are to be submitted by the state highway de- partment to the secretary of agricul- ture and upon approval by the secre- tary all necessary surveys, plans, spect- fications and estimates must be fur- nished. he roads projected must be of a substantial character, and items covering engineering, inspection and unforeseen contingencles are not te exceed ten per cent of the total esti. mated cost of the work. Upon completion of the work as ap: proved by the secretary, the amount set aside for the project is to be paid to the proper state official. The sec- retary of agriculture is given author. ity in his discretion to make partial payments as the work progresses, but not in excess of the federal govern- ment’s pro rata share of the labor and material which have been actually put into construction work, nor in excess of $10,000 per mile, exclusive of the cost of bridges of more than 20 feet clear span, All construction work is subject to the inspection and approval of the secretary of agriculture, States to Maintain Roads. ‘The various states securing ald un- der the provisions of the act are charged with the making of needed re- pairs and the preservation of a rea- sonably smooth surface, considering the type of the road, but are not ob- ligated to make extraordinary repairs or undertake reconstruction. If, after due notice, a state fails to maintain a federally aided road properly, the sec- retary is required to refuse further aid until the road has been properly re- paired at state expense. The sum of $10,000,000 Is made available in yearly appropriations of $1,000,000 for co-operative construction and maintenance of roads and trails within or partly within the national forests by the United States, terri- tories, or counties In which the forests le. Expenditures for this purpose are not to exceed 10 per cent of the value of the timber and forage resources available for Income upon the national ‘forests where the roads or trails are constructed. Beginning with the next ‘fiscal year after an agreement is made between the secretary of agriculture and a state, territory or county for the co-operative construction of such roads, 10 per cent of all revenues from such forests are to be applied toward reim- bursing the United States government for funds expended in road work until the whole amount advanced shall have | been returned. Make lodine From Seaweed. ‘The Russian government 1s prepar- ing to utilize large quantities of sea- weed in the vicinity of Vladivostok in the manufacture of iodine. The col- onization department has set apart $60,000 for an lodine factory which is to be erected at once, according to United States Consul John K. Cald- well of Vladivostok. Hight hundred boats have been or- dered and peasants will be employed to gather the seaweed with hooks. It has been customary for the peasants to guther the seaweed by tearing it up by the roots, but this has been de- clared unproductive and harmful, and new methods will be employed. COLORADO'S BIRTHDAY THIRTY-SEVEN SOCIETIES JOIN IN CELEBRATION. Soldiers, Children, Japanese and Mem- bers of Patriotic Orders Take Part in Gay Fete. Western Newspaper Union News Service, Denyer.—Colorado children, Colo- rado soldiers and Colorado wom- en participated Aug. 1 in a beautifully spectacular exhibition at City park in celebration of Colorado's fortieth birthday as a member of the Union of states. As planned by the Sons of Colorado, the exhibition was memorable for its gradeur and im- pressiveness. But there was more to the celebra tion than just a spectacle. It was a patriotic observance, and a great so- clal gathering in which all joined like = great tamuy and enjoyed varied en- tertainments under a canopy of 2,000 Japanese lanterns. For the first time in a Colorado day celebration the entire national guard of the state participated. There were 1,400 men from the guard's moblliza- tion camp at Golden in the parade, which opened the celebration. Col. Robert N. Getty and his staft from Fort Logan were in the parade. The military band from Fort Logan preceded the guardsmen, who were headed by Col. Walter T. Bates, Mal. P. J. Hamrock and Maj. A. H. Wil ams, adjutant. Oscar D. Cass, chairman of the en: tertainment committee of the Sons of Colorado, presided at the speaking. The addresses were worthy close at tention and appropriate to the patri otic occasion. Governor Carlson gavé a short welcome, followed by former Goy. E. M. Ammons, President Wil Mam B, Phillips of the Coloradc School of Mines, and President Charles A. Lory of the Colorado Agri culture College. ‘Thirty-seven societies were repre sented in the program. Among then being the Sons of Colorado, the Colo rado Pioneers, the Daughters of Col orado, the G. A. R., the Confederat Veterans and the Veterans of For eign Wars. Battalion to Give Third Regiment. With the mustering in of Company F of the Second battalion of infantry at Golden rifle range. the two Colo- rado battalions of infantry, under Major Hamrock and Major Goodman, were completed, Adjutant General Gamble has been asked to authorize the formation of a third battalion, so that Colorado will have a full regi: ment of infantry. Rice Means has | two full companies of infantry ready to enlist in a third battalion; Joseph LeFevre has fifty men; T. R. Elkins ‘has twenty-seven men, and Bloom: field Brooks, former major in the cavalry, has thirty men. These men are all ready to enlist in a third bat- talion and with a little recruiting the full regiment could soon be obtained, it was pointed out to Gen. Gamble.

Farrar Will Dismiss Strike Cases, Attorney General Farrar announced that he would dismiss a majority of the eighty-four coal strike cases now pending in the lower courts of Las Animas and Boulder counties. He will dismiss the less flagrant viola- tions of the law, retaining the more flagrant cases for trial. The cases igainst John Lawson now pending in the Supreme Court will not be dis: missed, and it is probable that those against Lawson in the lower courts will also be retained for trial, it is stated, ‘State Engineer to Inspect Crossings. Because of the many accidents at railroad crossings between Denver and Boulder recently, the State Pub- lic Utilities Commission instructed its railroad engineering —_depari- ment to begin at once an exhaustive inspection of all crossings on the main highway between Denver and Boulder. Impressive Ceremony at Rifle Rance, More than 8,000 persons stood in veritable torrents of rain at the state mobilization grounds at the rifle range near Golden Sunday morning, and listened to the military field mass, the first ever held in the West, With as profound attention and de voutness as though they had been comfortably seated in the plush-coy- ered pews of some luxurious church, instead of standing“in the slush, the water and the ninddy weeds of the vast cathedral of the open. CASEMENT PAYS REVOLT PENALTY GZAR’S MEN GRIP KOVEL Western Newspaper Union News Service. London. — Roger Casement was hanged a few minutes after 9 o'clock August 3 in the yard of Pentonville prison for his part 7s arch-conspirator against Great Britain in the recent Irish rebellion that culminated in the street battles in Dublin and the exe- cution of several lesser leaders of the Irish band which he had fostered. Casement, who had been deprived by the king of the knighthood won in the service of Great Britain, walked unflinchingly to the gallows, attended by a priest of the Catholic Church, whose faith he had embraced since his inearceration, The former knight stood motionless and without apparent con- cern while prison guards fitted the ropes and black cap about his body and head. Death was pronounced within a few minutes after the drop. Petrograd.—The ultimate Russian occupation of Kovel and Lemberg and the retirement of the Austro-German line of defense beyond the Bug river are now regarded here as a foregone conclusion. The armies of Generals yon Boehm-Ermolli and yon Linsing- en, which have been badly crippled in their efforts to hold back the ad- vaneing right wing of Gen. Brussil- off's forces, have been forced to re- treat to a point which leaves open the approaches to these two import- ant centers, The Russians in both regions have begun an encircling movement which is slowly, but apparently irresistibly, closing in on the two cities. ‘The German loss of the Stockhod crossings and the recently announced Russian advance over the river leaves no important line of defense before Kovel except a natural barrier con- sisting of a wide swamp which un- doubtedly will retard the Russian | progress. | It is unofficially reported that the Germans already have begun their re- |tirement from Kovel and are prepar- ‘|ingeto ~fall back on Brest-Litovsk, || Cholm and the general line of defense ‘| following the Bug river, i | Norfolk, Va—With her crew lined '| up on deck cheering for America and ‘|its people, the German submarine ‘| Deutschland passed out to sea at 8:10 || o'clock Wednesday night on what may prove a voyage of death for all on board. ‘Thirty minutes later the Deutschland crossed the three-mile |limit and immediately submerged.

Toronto, Ont.—Fstimates of the number of dead in the bush fires in northern Ontario are put at 500 by refugees arriving from the various lo- calities in the fire-swept zone. From many sections known to have been sprinkled with settlers no word has been received at any of the northern towns of refuge, and this is taken to mean that all have perished. A score of refugees, some with burns and all showing signs of suffering, arrived here with stories of thrilling escapes. The finest, largest and best photo studio in Denver.

DAY OR NIGHT THE WOMEN'S WORLD H COURT DE FEMME Visiting Toilette of Embroidered Pongee The painstaking and patient labor of faraway China enriched some yards of fine pongee with exquisite embroidery. The fabric was in the natural unbleached color of the silk, and the embroidered floral pattern was in the same tint exactly, so the material lent itself perfectly to the making of a luxurious suit. It is the last word in elegance. Someone who understands the needs of Europe and America, and is familiar with current styles, must have directed the labor of those oriental needlework artists. The embroidered patterns are placed in the best manner for good effect on skirt and coat, and the amount of material nicely calculated for present fashions. The skirt is cut in seven gores and these were sewed together and the skirt hemmed before the embroidery was done. This allows the pattern to run uninterrupted about the skirt. The embroidered flowers almost cover the front gore and are extended part way up on the gores at each side of the back breadth. The masses of embroidery are joined by sprays of L Less Simple Styles In Coiffures Hairdressing is not so simple as it was a few months ago, because the coiffures of today are dressed with waved hair. But the neatness of those plain styles was their chief charm, and the hairdresser is called upon to preserve that feature in the curled and waved coiffures that engage his attention now. Straight, unwaved hair may be becoming dressed for a pretty and youthful face. Even so, it is prettier when it catches the light in waves, and as for curls, they have been the admiration of mankind for ages. They have returned and there are several pretty fashions in wearing them. Younger women are wearing the hair waved and combed back in the manner of a small pompadour, with a Psyche knot at the back. In this style the ears are almost covered and there are a few curled locks about the forehead. The knot may be made up of several soft puffs and very short curls. However, wavy and curly, straggling ends or strands of hair blowing about the face are not to be tolerated. The hair net or invisible pins must hold them in place. Another pretty style, for young wom- Victoria THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FASHION small leaves and blossoms and lines of dots that extend entirely round the skirt. The gores are laid in deep inverted plaits at the top, except across the back, where the fullness is gathered under a short belt. The coat is made with a panel at the back and a moderately flaring peplum set on at the sides and front. Embroidered sprays appear on the lower part of the panel and on each side of the peplum at the front. It is lined with bright green satin. Embroidered bands of the pongee are combined with this satin for the cuffs and collar, and pongee and satin make the acorn buttons that are set on the coat, in groups of three, at each side of the front. A narrow vest of black satin, covered with embroidery in gold thread, with rose, green, and blue silk, carries out the oriental suggestion as a finish for the coat. Such a suit will prove a source of satisfaction to any owner, and more especially to the woman who looks best in tailored styles. It is a visiting toilette which may be used for many other things, as the informal dinner, for example. 1 en particularly, shows the hair coiled at the nape of the neck, as in the illustration. There are several clever ways of managing the coil, depending upon the abundance of hair which it must dispose of. It is pinned closer to the head than in the Psyche or other styles where the coil is higher. In this the hair is slightly waved and is brought back loosely, as in the preceding coiffure. For older women, or those that find a high coiffure most becoming, the hair is waved or marcelled all around the head and the knot or coil is brought well forward on top. In this, and in the styles already described, three or more short curls are pinned in about the knot or coil. In the matter of hairdressing women can afford to be somewhat independent. An individual style which suits the face of the wearer better than any other is not to be abandoned to follow a fashion. Women who have very long and abundant hair must nearly always dispose of it in coifures of their own invention. Linen Hoods. Hooded coats have linings of silk striped like peppermint candy. The hood turns completely inside out to show its lining. [Image of a man with white hair and a mustache, wearing a dark suit and a bow tie.
