Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at Zion Baptist Church Tuesday evening, June 4th. Rev. Father J. N. Samuel's Belbodier, President of Dayton Branch, presided. Secretary Shillady held his audience spellbound, speaking almost two hours upon the relation of the races and real democracy. He stated the propaganda of the organization as a doctrine contending for every American to have an equal chance for education, the use of public institutions ```markdown ``` THE DAYTON FORUM How they will ring, But that will end the Drive of Spring.

He stated that white men are giving thousands of dollars annually to diffuse this propaganda, and appealed to the colored people to do their bit to foster the cause. The association's fight on lynching, through publicity, said Mr. Shillady, has already awakened a new sentiment in the South. At the close of the lecture more than fifty persons joined the association of the local branch. The drive for 500 members is progressing and the officers have hopes of realizing the goal. The regular monthly meeting will be held Thursday evening, June 13, at the W. C. A. ```markdown ``` DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY JUNE 7, 1918 Over The Top With $2 Rev. T. J. Smith Perfects Organization Breaks All Records ZION BAPTIST CHURCH HAS SUCCESSFUL RALLY Over The Top With $2000 Rev. T. J. Smith Perfects Organization That Breaks All Records ti was truly a great day in Zion last Sunday. Never before in the history of Dayton has such enthusiasm been shown in a rally effort. Rev. Smith asked the members to raise $1500.00 Many thought that amount was entirely too large to ask for under the present conditions. However, under the leadership of the "little man from Kentucky with big ideas," the clubs began to work, and when the final count was made more than $2000 had been raised. The December club, under the leadership of Mrs. Lena Davis, took the lead by raising $555. All the clubs did exceedingly well, and deserve much credit for their splendid work. The success of the rally stamps Rev. Smith as a financier. For many years Zion Baptist has been burdened with a heavy mortgage. The "main debt rally" is an annual affair, and heretofore members have had a struggle to raise several hundred dollars to pay on the mortgage. Now the trustees have $2000 to pay on the principal and have already paid the interest. Rev. Smith has not only succeeded in getting his members to work in Colored Troops Carry First Flag NEW YORK, June 6.—A colored regiment carried the first American flag to the firing line, and another colored regiment took the first New York state flag to the American front, declared Governor Charles S. Whitman tonight, when, in dedicating the new Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association building for colored men, he paid a tribute to the courage of colored troops.

My Dear Friend: I am writing just a few lines to let you know that I am still in the land of the living and so fat and saucy as a pet pig. We have lots of excitement that affords us a certain amount of happiness that could not be found else where. The rich blood of real life pulsates through my being with such rapidity and force that at times my brain is exercised to its utmost to prove to me that all that I am experiencing is real and not a myth or a dream. Think of me often, and always remember me as the man that never would give up, and brave enough to tackle anything no matter how difficult the problem might seem. Best regards to all my friends, and tell them that I am planning great times to be spent by them when I return. Don't worry about writing if you are too busy, but if you have any spare time drop me a few lines from time to time and I am quite sure that it will be appreciated, as I have always considered you to be one of my best friends. I see Garfield, your brother, every day. I remain, as ever, UNIQUE STUDY CLUB The Unique Study Club met May 22 with Mrs. Wm. Peyton, on Home-stead avenue.

N, Samuels-Belboder, vicar. “The Greatest Thing in the World” was the very engaging and interest- ing subject of the vermon last Sunday morning. Father Samuels-Belboder defined and differentiated the characteristics of love in its many forms in the ex- perience of men and women. In one or two instances he laid bare to the congregation the anatomy—so tc speak—of some experiences, pointed out their results and traced their sev- eral causes. He bared, too, the false ness of many feelings which many trace to the sublime emotion of love, and warned his hearers to be wary and careful and discriminating in the use and acceptance of the term, Every gust of pavsion dressed up in fervid protestations and assiduous attention and valuable gifts, is not love; it may be only a trap of the cunning patient, man or woman; every sigh of appar- ent heartache, every droll feature of face, every clever and tenderly sound- ing complaint is not love, but may be the sly hypocrisy admirably put on to deceive, and despoil the unwary and unwise. Love at best is perfectly un- selfish. It seeks first the good of the object loved, und the satisfaction of self is found in the pleasure and knowledge that the happiness ani honor of the object—or its welfare generally—has been advanced, Then, too, for one to love effectively one’s entire being must be kept free from contamination with everything that is evil. A clean mind, a clean body, clean spirit—these are the gifts of love—these are the mediums through which the gifts of love should be given. Hence that summary of Jesus Christ, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and all thy soul, and all thy mind.” A clean, strong body, full of life, and a fit vehicle of chaste emotions; a clean, clear mind free from turbid and tumultuous thoughts, often ques- tionable, cynical, dwelling only upon the tainted things of experience; a clean, aspiring spirit readily recep tive of the best and highest in all men and easily embracing the beauty and love of nature and nature’s God. Love gives the best to the loved. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,”—the best, the highest, the only—to all the world. Love excludes license, Love precludes prodigality. Love has no relationship with illegality, prostitution in any phase of life. Love inspires to noble- ness of mind, Love aspires to union with the highest good. Love urges to effort and endeavor to realize aspira- tion, That God has done and is do ing toward us. How do-we respond? Reflect! Reflect! and remember our love must begin here und towards: our fellowmen (a) It must not be selfish, for our gain, chiefly. (b) It must not be cold, indifferent and dead. ly static, and so useless; (c) it must be deep, warm, lively, helpful towards every man and woman and get wise withal. God will supply this wisdom. “A new commandment I give unto you that ye love one another as I have loved you.” Reflect! “Do this in re membrance of Me!” ‘The services on Sunday will be a: follows: A celebration of the Holy Com munion at 7 a. m, Sunday school at 9:45 a. m, Morning prayer and sermon at 11 oelock, Come early, A cordial invitation to every one; a warm and sincere wel- come to all, LEGAL NOTICE To John Davis, Whose place of residence is India napolis, Ind., you will take notice that Carrie Davis did on the 29th day of May, 1918, file a petition against you in the Common Pleas Court, Division of Domestic Relations, Montgomery County, Ohio, being cause No. 43489, Praying for a decree of divorce fron You upon the ground of willful ab- sence for more than three years last past, You are required to answer her saic Petition not later than six weeks af. ter the date of the first publication of this notice, to-wit, May 31, 1918, or such divorce may ve granted, CARRIE DAVIS, Piaintifr.

What the Negro is learning from the war is “team work” in a new and broader way. Our people are working together as never before in Thrift Stamps, Food Conservation, Liberty Bonds and Red Cross campaigns, and the results are in some instances as- tonishing. The important thing about the “team work” in the various campaigns is its educational value, If we ean keep that spirit alive after the war, it can be converted into a powerful factor encouraging industrial and eco. ‘nomic efficiency, _ Our business men can harness the spirit which made this “team work’ possible, and can develop it into a most valuable asset, If we can get to- gether for the Red Cross now, after the war, we can get behind local cam. paigns to boost Negro business enter- prises. Such co-operation could pro- duce results which would grow in foree, in power and momentum. The National Negro Busines Learue ha: ndeavored to foster that spirit amon) my people during the years of it: axistenee and it has succeeded to most gratifying degree. (To be continued next week.)

Good investment, isn’t it? Anda patriotic habit besides—for everygsingle Thrift Stamp is a little added momentum behind the one great common desire—to shoten this war. Thrift Stamps are for sale aifthe postoffive, by all mail carriers and at most stores. | TREES FOR PALESTINE Civilian Commission Will Make Recommendation. Aforestation and Improvement of Water Supplies Greatest of Country's Needs. London.—Two principal recommendations which the civilian commission now in Palestine will make for the reconstruction of that country will be a scheme for beginning aforestation, and a proposal for the conservation of water supply by storage and by opening up old springs. A preliminary statement from a member of the committee says: "The greatest of all Palestine's needs is aforestation. For centuries the land has been denuded of its trees, with most disastrous consequences. For the heavy rains in certain seasons, instead of benefiting the soil, over more than four-fifths of the area carry away in rushing torrents much of the little soil that remains on the high lands and valley slopes. "Palestine has not always been treeless. The Roman emperors had valuable forest in the country, and Absalom was caught by the hair among the trees, but today one might gallop from Dan to Beersheba without having to duck one's head to avoid a branch. "Trees of rapid growth will be planted, and for the more cultivable districts fruit-bearing trees will be utilized. The storage of water in lakes and reservoirs is comparatively simple. By erecting small dams across certain ways, a series of small reservoirs can be constructed at little expense, creating a supply that will last throughout the dry season. In southern Palestine hundreds of natural springs can be opened which under centuries of misrule have been allowed to choke up and fall into disuse.

FORGET TO HOLD ELECTIONS Two Towns in Oklahoma Overlook Important Event and Officials Will Hold Over. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Two Oklahoma towns, Edmond and Marlow "forgot" to hold city elections this year, and as a result, the present city officials will hold over, according to a ruling by Joseph Morris, secretary of the state election board. The omission of primaries by both towns was an oversight, the officials declared, and as a result, no elections can be held. The attorney general has supported the ruling of the election officials. Willing to Give All. Franklin, Pa.—An old woman entered a bank here and, producing a sum of money, said: "I don't want a Liberty bond. I hear my country needs the money and I want to give it. It is all I have, but Uncle Sam shall take it." The matter was arranged to her satisfaction, but she has a Liberty bond unknown to her. Here's Chance for Job.

The odd-shaped arrangement at the tail is the rudder, which keeps the bomb straight as it falls. PADDED CELL MAKER EXEMPT Britain Releases 'Specialist' in Providing for Lunatics From War Service. London.—The military tribunals have granted exemption from military service to William Fuller, who is described in the official report as a "specialist in the construction of padded cells." His firm is the only firm in England engaged in the manufacture of padded cells for lunatic asylums, police institutions and hospitals, and the tribunal found that "there is not a man in Great Britain who can take the place of this applicant." A model of a padded cell, showing the intricacies of its construction, was brought before the tribunal, together with a list of the "urgent orders" awaiting the attention of the applicant.

Some of them have been discouraged, yet it has been said in God's word, "He would take the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty." We have the goal set at $300.

CLAIMS MANY ADVANTAGES Proves Successful in the Experimental Stage—British Government Exports Are Much Impressed With Possibilities. London.—In these days of cereal and fodder shortage the farmer who succeeds in growing two blades where one grew before would be looked upon as a public benefactor, but an English farmer has succeeded in going one better and writes to the Times to give details of the new method. It suggests that if his plan is adopted there will be more grazing this year, more beef next winter, more oats, wheat and hay in 1919, and more grazing in 1919. If the new method is as successful over a large increase as it has proved to be in the experimental stage it may rightly be termed a discovery in agriculture. The new method is as follows; In July, by the use of a specially devised drill, a winter cereal and an artificial fertilizer are simultaneously drilled through any grass land intended for haying the following year. By September or October the cereal will have made a top growth of from eight to ten inches. This is then grazed off with the grass by whatever live stock is turned upon it, and the grain, nominally an annual, is thus turned into a biennial by virtue of its yield of valuable grazing in the autumn preceding the year of the normal grain harvest. Double Crop. The autumn grazing encourages and strengthens the roots of the cereal. Owing to the protection from frost given by the covering of turf, normal spring growth begins earlier, more heads are thrown up, development is more rapid, and the grain ripens at the same time as the hay, both being harvested together. The harvesting is done by means of an ordinary mowing machine fitted with an extra knife at the proper height above the grass to cut the heads of the grain. The lower knife cuts the hay as usual and the upper knife acts as a header. A carrier behind the "header" knife deposits the grain in a separate swath. Many Advantages. The advantages claimed for this method are many, among them being the following: The productive capacity of the land is doubled. Old and valuable grass lands are not only destroyed, but are improved. Economy of labor throughout; plowing and harrowing are not needed; both crops are gathered together, planting and rolling are done at the same time, and the grain crop is gathered with ease and certainty, as there is no green growth with the grain to be stood in the sun to dry. Economy of fertilizers. A saving of one-half of the seed usually needed. The autumn grazing is of a fresh nitrogenous character. The passage of the drills through the turf improves the surface drainage. The equal mixing of straw with the hay for fodder. The great convenience of July planting for the farmer. Saves Permanent Pasture. It is asserted that under this method no permanent pasture need be broken up, rather that the larger part of the arable land might be put down to permanent pasture. The permanent pastures are in hay and corn one year and grazed the next. In the spring of the grazing year seeds of annual legumes can be planted through the pastures with the same machine as is used to drill in the grain, not only on account of their feeding value, but also to increase the nitrogen in the soil for the following cereal crop. The drilling of the seed through the turf is accomplished by a small knife bladed foot that can be attached to any drill in place of the disk. Government experts have been so impressed with the possibilities of the method that priority certificates have been granted for the manufacture of the fittings or the import of any parts which may be necessary if they cannot be obtained here in time for this season's planting. FIND TOOTH OF MASTODON Railway Workers Dug It Up in Pennsylvania and Are Looking for More. Sharon, Pa.—That the monsters of the mastodon family roamed over this part of Mercer county in prehistoric ages is evidenced by the uncovering of a monster grinder tooth and part of a bone by workmen of the Bessemer & Luke Erie engaged in building a line through Otter Creek valley, two miles north of Mercer. The molar is of great size, some eight or ten inches across the top, with three pronged roots nearly a foot long. Near by was found the socket of a joint. The bone is about 30 inches long, and the diameter of the socket 14 inches. Foreman Andy Narly was in charge of the forces when the鼎 was made. Strict orders have been issued to the workmen to be on the lookout for more fragments of teeth or bones. The Best Policy and Safest Guide of Conduct HE serves his party best who serves the country best," a maxim laid down by Rutherford B. Hayes, General, Governor of Ohio and President, should be kept before him by every member of a political organization in the United States. In those ten words are to be found the best policy, the purest patriotism and the safest guide of conduct that may be imagined. More could not be contained in a library of books on statecraft. Always the aim of the political party should be the service of the nation and that which serves most and best should rightfully have the preference. There is now a call to duty sounding to every committeeman in Ohio. It was uttered by the President of the United States, who has said that, pending the outcome of the mighty battle for the preservation of democratic government, politics is adjourned. On behalf of the heavily taxed treasury he has asked that the people save their money and with it purchase War Savings Stamps. The leaders of the two dominant parties in Ohio have given their pledges that this call from the head of the government and commander of the military and naval forces of the nation will be heeded and they have summoned each of their followers to take the field as selling agents for these small divisions of loans. Already the competition is under way, each party endeavoring to vindicate its claim of being the most useful to the community as a whole. It now becomes the duty of every partisan to enlist with the organization of his political group and, by purchase and pledge, enable his associates to win the victory. Each party should rejoice that it is permitted as a body to engage in this high and necessary task. Occasion is given by it for each committeeman to justify his usefulness to the body politic, and thus reject and overturn the accusation that only sordid selfishness governs in party organizations. One of the greatest statesmen that the country has produced was Dahiel Webster. In his wisdom, he said: "There has ever been and will always be two dominant parties in politics, and this is indirectly an advantage to the general interests of the country." Opportunity is now furnished the Democratic and Republican parties in Ohio to corroborate the Massachusetts sage and to go even farther and actually demonstrate a direct advantage to the general interests by helping to secure Ohio's War Savings Stamp quota of $106,000,000.
