At the national cemetery the throngs massed in two lines at the approach to the memorial, "Lead Kindly Light," as the detail of the Second Cavalry tenderly deposited the bodies of the departed heroes of the war, prepared for the memorial and Chaplain C. Livingston Bayard of the United States navy read the beautiful interment of the fallen, and the Life. The band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee," wreaths from the white house conspicuously placed on the sonnerie placed upon each grave, the detail fired the customary salute of thirty volleys, the bugler sounded the philippine trumpet, the military funeral—identical with those of Capt. Charles T. Boyd of a brigade, the philippine Commander and his gallant men lay beneath a common sod in the nation's grandest "bivouac of the dead."

Word comes from reliable sources that through the thoughtful kindness of the late Dr. Washington, a New York city, former collector of internal revenue and now supervising agricultural department, a New York state agricultural institute has agreed to donate $10,000 to Booker T. Washington memorial fund, a year. The gift is a timely one and is far toward helping the committee to ensure the perpetuation of the work done by Dr. Washington for the upkeep of the Negro masses in the Southland.

Memorial Fund Still On.
Memorial Fund Still On.
Although the regular meetings have ceased to begin September, the committee is charge of the Booker T. Washington memorial fund in the District of Columbia, announces that the work of collecting pledges and making new collections will go on through the summer with unpaid volunteers sending out letters this week using in the members of the committee itself their pledges by prompt payment, and many of the members being reached by polite presentation in a case through note or personal solicitation. Early in the fall an opportunity will be given for every church individual to donate something to the cause of Tuskegee institute, a nation-wide influence for the
benefit of the Negro masses. A comprehensive plan of campaign has been formulated by Chairman Henry Lasseter to will it happen. The energy at the beginning of the autumnal season. Due announcement will be made through the press.

General Investigation of the Schools Immulent.
The election of Rev. John Van Schaik as president of the board of reform forces in the reorganized school governors, and is another signal defeat for the "machine" that has been the organization's education affairs of the District for the first time. The detriment of pupil, patron and public at large. The supreme court justices, and it is expected that some patriotic people have gone together one grand movement for better conditions, and it is expected that some patriotic people have gone together the school management will be made as soon as a definite course of action can be agreed upon. In the meantime a thorough investigation of the inner walls of the school will be made and no stone will be left unturned to break up the practices that have upheld the school management of the schools in the past few years. A new assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools is imperative, and these reasons have been set forth so plainly that a repetition of them is not necessary. This is the reasonfated Bruce administration, in the face of the adverse sentiment of 90 per cent of the influential people of the district. A brand-new set of directors is sorely needed. There is no disposition to remove the board or her, but the safety of the system does suggest that every marplot be transferred to a place where they can do no harm. The members of the board are Dr. VanSchaik, Mrs. Gerry and Dr. J. Hayden Johnson, and they have the confidence of the public, and with certainty constitute a working majority for reform. The expectant public will be grievously disappointed if they do not practise a working relief at the earliest practicable date.
"The Bruce machine must go to the scrap yard throughout the school circles of the District of Columbia.

Judge Terrell May Get a "Raise"
If the pending District of Columbia appropriation bill becomes a law, the salaries of Judge Terrell H. H. Terrell the municipal court will be raised from $2,500 to $3,600, along with his salary. This will make the salaries of the municipal court judges the same as that enjoyed for years by the judges of the district court. By the superior qualifications demanded of the municipal justices. To be eligible to appointment, an aspirant must have been before the United States supreme court. The berth held by Judge Terrell with so much distinction will become a more attractive plum than the if the pending bill becomes a law.
How About a Military School at Howard
The spirit of preparedness is taking a firm hold upon all classes in Conferences and meetings, and these are heard these days by senators, resentatives, members of national service and defense leagues and private organizations for the youth of the land, white and colored allike. In keeping with this plan of individual preparedness, a strong sentiment is to be owed to the commitment of those looking to the establishment of a military training department at Howard University with a special appropriation for its equipment. The detail of a regular army officer as instructor. The idea is growing in popularity, and may take definite form in the future. Innovation here is rendered strong by

Tyler for Ohio Auditor of State—"If

A visitor from the Buckeye commonwealth brings the startling news he eager to do the unusual, has thrown his hat in the ring for the office of the Ohio state commission of the Ohio state primaries to be held in the near future. This is positively funny, especially to those who say they are asked to sayyed for a brief period the exacting role of "race leader" in and about the state commission. He is around in the office of auditor of the navy department. He is also remembered as the rankest failure that ever happened in the "scattering" column of the National Negro Business League and landed in the "scattering" column of the National Negro Business League test for delegate at large from Ohio to the Chicago convention last spring. "First page" notoriously, and this last stunt ought to give him his fill of it.
THE TOWN IN REVIEW
The much needed repairs to Metropolitan A. M. E. church and the erection of the long delayed Masonic Temple will come to pass—some of these days.
One of the blessed things that grows out of the reorganization of the new board of education—the persecution of that splendid educator, Dr. Lucy E. Foster, who was born in New York and came to an end. Secure in the place she has made in the Washington DC area, she has been hampered from now on in the development of the great Myrtilla Miner Normal School—her own creation for the training of teachers.
W. Sidney Pittman, the race's premier architect, now located at Dallas, Tex., and prospering finely, is the revered architect of the city over the country because of his latest architectural triumph, the new and magnificent Pythian temple, the most beautiful Knights of Pythias of the state of Texas, and recently dedicated with imposing ceramics, the handsomest and most commodious of its kind built and owned by colored people west of the Mississippi river.

Prof. M. Herman E. Perry, president of the Metropolitan Masonic Temple with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga., has been spending a fortnight here, supervising the establishment of offices in the city. P. J. Percy Bond remains as the resident

The fourteen black soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, "discharged without honor" following the investigation of the Brownsville riot, have been awarded the highest award of Congress, received in back pay and allowances the goodly sum of $25,000.

This is a great opportunity for us to join with our principely leader in the Business League, the Hon. Emmett J. Hammond, and meet and mingle with this the greatest session in the history of the organization.

NEW YORK, July 24—Prominent Negro physicians, dentists and pharmacists from six of the largest Eastern cities, will begin a day and formed an association to be known as The North Eastern Medical Association, which will have for its members the experience of the Negro, with a view of educating the members of the race on those vital matters pertaining to their health and well-being. Together together some of the strongest men in the profession to this city, who endorsed the movement to bring the Negro to the fore, into strong helpful organization that will enable them to keep close tab on the work of the men of the profession, and help to the race in matters of health.
At the conclusion of the election of officers announcements were made rel. to the provision of a tertium of the visiting physicians. At the afternoon session which was one of the most important of the session, the health status of the Negro were discussed by able men of the profession. Many of the subjects were illustrated by the health status proved of great benefit to the lay members of the audience. Among the inexperienced members of the health invention were: On Cerebral Apoplexy, by Dr. Godfrey Nurse, of this city. Dr. Nurse went into detail relative to this patient who has been under his treat. The patient grew in the development of the disease and its cure by presenting a woman patient who has been under his treat. The patient brought forth a heated discussion and Dr. Nurse who is among the youngest practicing medicine city was praised in manner he handled this subject. A paper on Dentistry as it pertains to the Negro in neurology was read by Dr. R. Wellesphin, of Philadelphia, a specialist of that disease. A paper that provoked the most interest of the physician to action was the paper read by Dr. Charles Lewis, of Philadelphia, a bright and young physician to the Negroes, Its Prevention and Cure." Dr. Lewis said that the spread of this disease among Negroes was not due to the presence of members that members of the race were compelled in most cases in live in neighborhood, but ventilated. Dr. Lewis said a close study of the health statistics as far back as 1860 showed but few cases of illness among the Negro being in the open.
He told how Negroes in Africa are rarely found with tiid disease and that they are uniquely susceptible to this evil. Dr Lewis urged the physicians of the race to give this subject close attention and to prevent it from preventing its spread. He advocated the establishment of a tuberculosis ward in the hospital for Negro patients, who would have opportunity to make close inquiry as to how in many cases this disease is found among Negroes. This was the crowded Negro districts of Philadelphia toward educating the neighbors on the vital necessity of cleanliness, much good has been accomplished in this direction and that it would be a good thing for each physician in his community on the dange of this evil.
Dr. T. S. Burwell, of Philadelphia, in opening the discussion, urged the appointment of a social worker to live large numbers of our people. He said his duty would
[be to make a house to house canvass and study the conditions under which a house canvass and make reports to physicians. Dr. M. O. Collins, of Trenton, said that physical an educational campaign to reach these neglected sections and carry to them the gospel of living. A resolution passed voicing the concern of the body that a vigorous campaign be waged among the members of the to safeguard us against this danger.
Prominent Physicians Interested in Movement
Dr. Rawlin's practice for the most part is confined to his office, and in practice which is perhaps among the largest in this city. He keeps up with every branch of the profession and is a young physician who prepares for work. Dr. Rawlin married Miss Sarah Edwards, of Wilkensbarre, Pa, who was formerly a trained nurse at the Lincoln hospital. Dr. Rawlin is one of the most prominent physicians of that city also expressed himself to your correspondent as being in charge of the Jefferson hospital; it will do much to bring about a bond of sympathy among the physicians of the race. Dr. T. S. Burwell also of Wilkensbarre, Pa, was with the Jefferson hospital in that city, talked enthusiastically to your correspondent when he was approached relatively. Dr. Burwell took a lively interest in the proceedings and regards the movement as one of the constructive efforts among Negro physicians. Dr. Rawlin was a large practice in Jersey City, and who was elected to the presidency of the association, said for some time he has been a member of the organization among the physicians of the race in this section. Dr. John Q. McDougall, of Philadelphia, one of the physicians who has built up a strong practice, talked freely on the good that would be achieved by Dr. R. Wellesley Bailey was shared by Dr. R. Wellesley Bailey whose work in neurology has made him an authority in this field. Others in the movement were: Drs. N. S. Mossell of the Douglass hospital; Albert Reed of this city, a well known specialist of the Braves, a well known physician of this city, and R. C. Fraser of New York.

CENTENNIAL AIR IN STATE FAIR
OFFER $64,135 IN PREMIUMS
Big Centennial Spectacle Takes Place of Night Horse Show Week of Sept. 4.
The Indiana state fair for the week of Sept. 4 is to have a distinctive centennial flavor. One of the outstanding features is to be the historical spectacle which will be given on an immense scale of splendor each evening and which will vividly portray the picturesque phases of Indiana history. The manufacturers who will make displays have been asked by the fair management to give a centennial flavor to their exhibits by showing the evolution that has been made in farm machinery. But where the state fair does not delve into history, it will show the heights which the agricultural and live stock resources of Indiana have reached at the close of the first 100 years.
Following the historic spectacle, a lavish display of fireworks commemorative of the centennial year will be given. The spectacle and fireworks will be the great demonstration of the year.
Although the fair will have the greatest array of attractions in its history, the coming exposition will continue to emphasize educational features of especial value to farm people, for it is upon the expansion of farm knowledge that the fair has been built its enduring foundations.
There will be no night horse show at the coming fair, it having given way for the centennial spectacle. But the day horse shows will hold increased interest and importance for visitors. The fair offers a total of $35,124 in prizes on horses; $27,000 of it for trotting and pacing purses; $4,075 for draft horses; $2,400 for light harness contests, and $809 for ponies. Thirty-two medals and two silver cups will also be awarded.
As the cattle resources of Indiana increase from year to year, these shows at the Hoosier fair grow in magnitude and splendor. The total cattle premiums amount to $11,289, of which $5,965 is on beef breeds and the remainder on dairy cattle. The premiums in other departments are: Sheep, $3,479; swine, $4,397; poultry, $2,186; agriculture, $2,011; horticulture, $337; flowers and plants, $1,112; bees and honey, $204; table luxuries, $441; fine arts, $2,188; dairy products, $347; boys' judging contest, $250; corn growing contest, $250; boys' and girls' club exhibits, $100. The total premiums for the fair amount to $64,135.

President R. R. Wright, of the Georgia State College, Starts Movement to Raise $110,000—John Larkin Again to Star—F. B. Ransome Here.
ALLEN'S NATIONAL NEWS BUREAU
2305, SEVENTH AVENUE.
New York City, July 16, 1916.—President R. R. Wright of the Georgia State University is raising a movement to raise $100,000 to build an institution in the state to care for the dependent children who have been separated from their movement is taking on definite shape and gives promise of being one of the first institutions that has ever been launched by men in the race. President Wright who was in this city last week in the interest of the children of the correspondent at length relative to the movement and expressed himself as being pleased with the response that he had received on this campaign. He said it was while traveling thru the state of Georgia to face with the need of such an institution and the necessity of making some provision for the large number of women in the state who, if not provided for, must grow up as wards of the state. President Wright would be to provide the proper kind of education that would make the inmates useful men and women. President Wright told the writer that already a wealthy man of this city and headed the subscription$ with $1,000.
President Wright will spend the most of his vacation to this campaign and opens the account with the amount he has appointed Mr. Wright is one of the strongest personalities of the race and has been preeminent in promoting those priests who will lay their objects of the race. For several years he has promoted his work in the annual state fairs in Georgia which bring together each year the most progressive element of the country. It was through his activity and influence that Congress was moved to pass a resolution making the race the national event and the abolition of the semi-centennial of the Negro. President Wright is one of the leaders in the race and has made a place in the national life of the country that is secure. He was appointed secretary in 1898 by President McKinley and has figured notably in political life of the country. He has been appointed delegate to the Republican conventions and was instrumental in having inserted a platform that is in support of the rights of the Negro.
He declined the appointment of U.C. minister to the government and several years ago was nominated as secretary of state for the State of Georgia, a signal honor to President Wright as an educator is seen in the success that he has met with in the building up of the Georgia school system, he had been for twenty-five years. When he went to the school there were only twenty-five students. The school has now grown to be one of the largest institutions for the education of the Negro in the South, and one of the largest in the country of five hundred and a faculty of twenty-three teachers, representing many of the leading institutions of the profession and one of the largest schools out over 6,000 graduates, many of them filling honorable places in the professional and academic world, and also a founder of the Ware high school, one of the strongest secondary schools of the state. He was also the class of 1876, which was the first college class to leave the university. He was formerly a newspaper man, and in this direction he has wielded a wide in-

board of trustees of Atlanta University and also the National Educational Association, of which he is a member.
"Jolly" John Larkins With Mid-Night Maidens.
"Jolly" John Larkins, the famous comedian who perhaps is second to Best Williams as a burnt face comedian, will star again next season with the comedian who has such splendid work last year. Mr. Larkins told your correspondent that this year contract he has signed with the Mid-Night Maidens company, and that he will begin rehearsing August 24 for the season company which is to open next week.
Mr. Larkins is well known as a figure in the theatrical life of America, as starred in many big productions success in the country. He began his career with Dr. Lee's company and later traveled to Africa, and Nickerson Repetite Company, the Octoroon and Quadroon companies: A Trip to Africa, and A Trip to Africa to the African coast with the Black Patti Company, and it was with this show that he perhaps made his reputation as a company of unusual vaudeville work on the big time route. It was while in this capacity that he attracted the attention of the vaudeville work on the big time route. Mid-Night Maiden Company, who signed a five-year lease with the him to star with the company, appeared in the company last year, attracted wide attention, and his ability as a comedian was splendidly brought out. The prowess of the comedian comes as the result of hard work in his line, and has opened up a finer economic possibility for the actor of race and race comedy, who works his profession. The appearance of "Jolly" John Larkins with the Mid-Night Maidens cannot but help furnish inspirations to his fellow-workers.
The well-known comedian gave out his information about where he was seen by your correspondent. He told your comedian that he colored performers entering the field of drama, and the work that was being done in this line was very commendable.
Indianapolis Lawyer Here.
F. B. Ransom, a well known lawyer of Indianapolis, and who for five years has been the personal attorney for Mr. Ransom, has written after the legal affairs of this noted woman. Mr. Ransom is kept constantly on the go looking out for the information today as the leading figure in the commercial life of the race. Your correspondent met the young lawyer last week and was sitting in this city, and that he felt fine opportunity was offered the race to make enduring progress in this center. Mr. Ransom is one of the most successful in the race, and has figured notably in many legal battles. He is active in all movements in Indianapolis, being the president of the Good Citizen's Club and the National Association for the Advancement of Women. Mr. Ransom represents the Bethel A, M. E. Church and State Grand Lecturer for the Knights of Pythias for Indiana. Mr. Ransom represents the highest credit upon the race. He was born in Mississippi and was educated in Walden University, where he attended for several days, and while here will combine business with pleasure.

DOINGS IN CORINTH, MISS.
Corinth can now boast of having a new theater, the Lincoln, which is a large theater of Wick and Franklin streets. The theater is owned and managed by W. F. Street, who is an old showman of Pekin theater of Memphis, Teen. Mr. Street tenders his regards to his wife, Miss Ora Cristwell, for the theatrical profession. Special regards to Miss Ora Cristwell, Blank Sisters and Miss M. Crousbey. The Dunbar Club, which is composed of the ladies of Corinth, gave a lavish entertainment at the home of Miss Lotte Ingraham, at which she spent a pleasant evening. The club will entertain at the home of Miss Adrian Combs, 246 Scott street, Friday evening of the third week of the season, and orchestra has at last obtained a director in the person of Prof. John Irwin, formerly of the Richard & Pringle Institute, other shows. Judging from the way the band has improved under his guidance, Professor Monis, who is secretary of the band and orchestra, is some bear when it comes to playing the trombone. Judge Woods has improved under his guidance and putting harm in harmony. Mr. Donlson Davis is on the sick list. Come on, Don old boy, we miss you very
Prof. A. F. Hoyle, principal of Corinth graded school No. 2, has been attending summer normal. Professor Hoyle did some creditable work in making every effort to prepare himself to do better work during the next term. We wish Corinth could boast of having young men with ambition like Hoyle. Dr. A. A. Gipson, a prominent young physician of Corinth, is ready to apply his office with the latest modern equipment, and the office promises to be the best place to work when completed. Dr. Gipson has the best wishes of all the people of the city. We hope he will be the best teacher in his practice. W. D. Webb, who is employed in the government service here, was seen duty lase Friday. What's up, old boy?
A SHORT HISTORY OF THE EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER.
Is from Calcutta, the capital of India, and it is said to grow like bananas, the skin is soft and green, and put in jars ready for the market, to be used for the hair only. The East India women when standing in the sun are ground, they use their hair for towels to bathe their children's faces. They also tie their hair around their waist for belts. The Indian race is of a very dark brown.

STATE FAIR SHOW OF '17 MOTOR CARS
FIRST VIEW OF NEW MODELS
Visitors to Indiana Fair Will See the New Cars Months Before They Are Shown Elsewhere.
The greatest autumn automobile show in the United States is that staged by the Indianapolis Automobile Trade association and it will be held again in connection with the Indiana state fair the week of Sept. 4. It will be on the same mammoth scale which has characterized it for the last two years and it will display the motor cars for 1917 months before they are exhibited in the winter shows.
The big motor show at the Indiana fair has established itself as the greatest autumn exposition of its kind in the country. Practically every prominent make and model is represented, including touring, roadsters and closed cars, and with them are to be seen the great array of tires and other accessories.
Never in the history of the motor car industry have these vehicles reached such perfection as those that are being made for next year. Four, six and twin-six motors, electric starting and lighting, clover leaf and other seating plans, and luxuriant appointments and graceful designs that were unknown two or three years ago make the cars for 1917 a revelation. The motor show gives especial advantages for seeing and comparing the different makes in one great display. Because of its size, there is no building available on the Indiana fair ground large enough to house the motor show, and the coming display will be seen in an enormous tent. Since no additional admission is charged, practically all of the 200,000 visitors to the state fair will see the auto show.

Special to The Freeman
A large delegation of Knights and Daughters of Tabor from Pueblo at Colorado Springs last week, and on their return reported that Colorado was granted a jurisdiction at that session which gives them now in this state the power to govern down on record as a master of history. Sir Jordan I. C. G. M. of Little Rock, Arkansas, was the presiding officer of the session down on record given him for his executive ability.
given him for his executive ability, and offices from our city were W. H. Stein, C. G. S; W. Gray, C. G. T.; L. A. McIntyre, C. G.; O. Daughter M. Wilson, from Pueblo were Daughters M. Wilson, McCrackin, Asberry, Duncan, W. H. Stein, Gray and L. A. McIntyre. Ma Caeer Poter, of Kansas, one of our greatest vocalists, gave a high-energy Eighth Baptist Church to a crowded house, of both white and colored, greatly pleased. The vast audience applauded the madame continually. Rev. L. A. McIntyre offered his resignation. The last church some time ago, which was deferred to the last business meeting, church voted to not accept the resignation of the pastor. The first and only vote was unanimous, and the vote against was unsuccessful, nor a work spoken against the pastor.
The church also voted Rev. McIntyre an additional sum to his salary, and decided to take. In company with his wife and baby, he will visit with rela- tions to his family, city or state is better loved by the people, nor has a greater reputation as a preacher in morals and efficiency than he has. The reason for offering his resignation only that he wanted to go home (to Kentucky) is Eighth St. Baptist Church is more than proud of its pastor, and is loyal to the great cause and purpose for which she stands. Our pastor has been a great friend and pastor has done, by way of the uplift, for years. Its financial standing is better than every before and the work demands that he must do. So he uss pray that he will ever remain in the west, for great is the need of him. Two little girls are the guests of Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Henry. They are from Louisville, Ky. Finch seemed very happy to have a pleasant surprise in the coming of her sister, Mrs. W. B. Lyons, whom she had not seen for twenty-five years since. Mrs. Emery of Colorado Springs.

Their department was all any one could ask for. They were quiet, mannerly and businesslike in all their public or private matters.
their public or private matters. The evening of the first day. Tues-
day, the opera house was filled with eager listeners to the very interesting oratory and music rendered by the looms that stretched over almost three hours. All the numbers were splendid. Among the students were W. H. Rice of Mason county, Proof S. Hathaway, ex-president of the State Normal Institute; Rev. E. W. S. Hammond, of Shelbyville; Mr. T. L. Brooks, Saffell of Shelbyville; Mr. T. L. Brooks, contractor; Col. Joseph Bowles, the maker and head of the military feat-equipment of the lodges in Kentucky.

Hammond, Jr., and Ezell Gordon, of Bowling Green, were the young Demosthenes of the oc-
The music was excellent and pleased every one present, most numbers being performed. The band showed a balance in tone and expression that would be difficult to surpass. The band was a rural musical artist. The duet by Mr. Hammond and daughter was superb as was also the choral club. No one else had the opportunity to could fail to enjoy the piano work of Prof. J. M. Taylor, of Maysville, a graduate from the musical department of the university. The program came nearer sweeping the great audience from its feet than did Prof. Taylor of Bowling Green, who was the principal in the place of one of the numbers.

THE ADVISABILITY OF A NEGRO
CONFERENCE.
Washington, D. C., June 28, 1916.
Mr. Editor:
We must to say just a few words to our race leaders of America. I have been prayerfully considering the situation which confronts us as a race this country, this city, this state, but out of the Tenth cavalry was flashed over this country a few days ago, it showed that we had been deprived of willing to end the first blood when the dignity of the United States must be upheld. It must be admitted that the United States has been dealing with the Mexican question, to allow a company of the best soldiers of the land to be shot down under such conditions.
I believe now is the time for the conservative men to meet together in a conference, behind closed doors for the first day at least, and there agree and agree on the issues. Congress and the white citizens of this country that might arouse their consciousness that they are not United States Constitution the instrument of protection that it declares itself to be the right of black men as well as white men. It is pathetic and at the same time a travesty op American justice, killing sacrifice to re-
wrongs done white Americans in Mexico, when the country demands retribution and wreaks vengeance on Mexicans and silently endorses the lynching of black men under its own flag nearly 100 years ago. President and Congress that that as silent shinx on outrages committed on black men right in this country speak in thunder tones and send a nation of men in Mexico to rise up and demand the proper protection of black Americans in Mexico. But we who are not at the front must not slumber in our house, but rise up and demand the proper protection of black Americans as well as protection of white Americans in Mexico.
He hereby appeal to every race loving man in Mexico to let me know you think of such a conference being held in the city of Washington or some other city in Mexico and have a joint meeting of the Baltimore and Washington Ministers Conference, June 26, 1916—endorse such a conference of the 16th Amendment and have that Dr. Williams Alain of Baltimore, Mr., and the writer should call such a meeting. I will be glad to hear from you about this plan. This conference will not be for newspaper notoriety or personal gain, but to plan for concerted action in the American people to a sense of justice in the treatment of black citizens.

PURDUE'S DISPLAYS IN THREE BUILDINGS
Purdue university will at the coming state fair outdo any of its former educational efforts at the exposition, where for many years it has been a force among farm men and women in helping them make "short cuts" to greater results in their home work. Heretofore the twenty-five or more farm experts and the big exhibits from Purdue university have been in one building at the fair. At the coming fair this same building will again be occupied, and in addition the big Studebaker and Oliver pavilions, two of the largest on the ground, will be necessary to house the educational work from Purdue. The main Purdue building will be given over entirely to the university's poultry exhibit.
The Studebaker pavilion will be occupied by the exhibits of the county farm agents in which they will show the many lines of educational work they are doing in the rural districts. One of the greatest educational features of the fair will be shown by the Purdue experts in the Oliver pavilion. It will include the immense Indiana agricultural exhibit which was displayed at the Panama-Pacific exposition last year, where it won world-wide attention. It will include the greatest collection of corn ever assembled, which won gold medals over all of the world's best corn shown at San Francisco. Indiana's importance as a poutry and fruit state, and other lines of interest to the farmer will be included.
In the Oliver pavilion, too, will be the Purdue home economics exhibit, and the displays will be much larger than has been seen at former fairs. Home furnishings, foods, cooking, home conveniences, labor saving devices and child welfare will be featured in this department. The Purdue experts will also have charge of the annual boys' judging contest in which free scholarships will be held at the fair on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

The race question is not an ab

keeping to bring @ satisfactory solu-

white people. Let us put them on

to every known thing of right and
Bropriety, by an industry 2s of one

‘every moment of the day. Failing tn
all of these to wring a bigher appre-

of precept and example has value and
that a portion of the family Is ever-
lastingly discredited.

proven far too helpful to be side

such need for its existence. Hun

meetings when successful men of bust
‘ness gave accounts of their struggles
‘and triumphs. Dr. Washington, the
great first cause of the league, has
passed, but the good he did lives after
him. The league is yet a necessity
and will ever be as long as the race
stands a nation within a nation. And
if it prefers to strike down the cir

George L. Knox, publisher of The
Freeman, lived in Greenfield, Ind., the
home of James Whitcomb Riley, when
the poet was no more than a lad. In
fact he was just beginning his career
More than once he tried his early
literary efforts on Mr. Knox in order
to get his judgment as to his pros
pects and progress as a writer. Mr.
Knox conducted a barber shop at the
time in Greenfield. and Riley and his
young associates hung around the
place like young fellows about the
stores of a country town. Mr. Knox
has in his possession a shaving mug

about the time when he tried his hand

made famous through his works.

up in the height of literary value—
poetry. Poetry bas ever appealed as
the bighest literary form to. all from
the cradle to the grave. To see one’s
‘very self reflected im it is-a-compit
ment that yields the largest possible
retum by wayof love, tears and
thankfulnces, He reac! heart
of Tankigd Woetber of ibe Suse or
great, and with sentiment and expres
‘sion that in some manner were com-
‘mon and known, yet as uttered by him
came trooping home with a sewer and
sigificante—the divinity of
lesser things.
The poet met the child mind face
to face, as it were, and in doing so
created a new and special realm of
devotees. Pope said that the proper
study of man is man. Riley when in
his ebild kingdom seems to have said
[that the proper study of children is
children. He touched on their ebild
life, and in their child language; and
they knew and understood. They
{forgot about the other great domain
jot Iiteratore where the poet held
sway, holding him as peculiarly their
‘own. He, to them, was one of them,
and doubtless, he, when surrounded
by them on Lockerbie street surren-
dered all outside care and thought, be-
coming wholly theirs for the time be-
ing. And like Longtellow and those
blue-eyed banditti of his household,
he put them Into the round tower of
his heart to keep them there forever
and a day. The world of thought was
moved by the poet's love of those
[household divinities which were never
his in fee simple.
“indiana has taken rise in lterature
‘ewing to Mr. Riley. The country has
‘taken rise in literature owing to Mr.
Riley. The English language is rich-
‘er owing to Mr. Riley. For who can
‘read his works without gaining new
‘thought and expression. Then the
‘poet's truer and greater work, that of
spreading cheer and love in the world,
the searcely less than Christly mis-
sion; here he was rooted and ground-
‘ed, reminding one of Christ’s declara-
tions, to Peter—on this rock I build
my church.
‘Then Mr. Riley reflected his works,
or his works reflected him. Good and
kindly he was; nor could he have been
otherwise—the tree is known by its
fruit. Children are only attracted by
the good and beautiful, whether of
soul or countenance. Like as a moth-
er, we prefer to say, loveth her chil-
dren, so this great man loved human-
ity. He loved mankind in weakness
‘and in strength. He, like the great
sun above us, shined on all. Youth
and age, beauty and homeliness, bond
and Tree were joint heirs of his spir-
ituat empire—where universality were
weik farce. -
WRONG @ONCLUSION.
‘The Afro-Amewcan of Baltimore has
jumped at a wrong conclusion of our
‘attitude on the Waco, Texas, horror.
In its issue of last week it was made
to appear that The Freeman exbibit-
ed undue humility when discussing
that happening. The Baltimore pub-
lcation seized on the tail end of that
editorial, and which, if thought apart
from the remarks that preceded would
[perhaps have Justified the stricture of
that publication.
[ate tO, tenet ta ta mati
|of declaring ourselves, and for a vers
good reason as we view it. It is not
best, perhaps, to admit the conscious-
ness of one’s rating or value, since
self acknowledgement destroys con-
fidence, being in the nature of a boast:
and moreover it is an evidence of the
lack of the very fitness that is the
content of the boast. In other words,
no reliance is to be put in boastful in-
dividuals, for those that are some-
thing and can do things have no ca-
pacity for boasting.
However, now and then the most
reserved, the most reticent and the
most wise, find it necessary to defend
themselves or be swept out of exist-
ence. We hope the long prologue will
be pardoned, but it will be readily
seen that this publication would be
useless as a race paper if it stood for
assertions that undermine its very
necessity. We are compelled to insist
that we know the value of our pub-
lication as it concerns those questions
wherein our race is concerned.
‘The Baltimore publication has said
much in little, ‘consequently we are
not having a tempest in a _ teapot.
When it is sald that The Freeman
shows indifference to the race trials
‘and tribulations it is struck in a most
vital spot, and in this case, most un-
Justly so.’ The race has been the bur-
den of our songs since the publica-
tion first uttered to the world. True
‘enough it is, that time, circumstances
and the rest of it have called for some
modification of views, that is, modifi
cation in the expression of views. We
have -bean convinced that worth time
and diplomacy are more to be depend-
Jed onstban ire yating.”.. We have

bility that does not rush the dreams

‘the fnstance-means a sort of stoicism
such “88 possessed the bosom of the
Spartan mother who insisted that her
son bring back his shield or let it be
his temporary funeral pile. Here was
resignment to the worst that could
happen. Whatever happened in the
‘course of warfare was to be accepted
‘as warfare’s incident, and not a thing
of evernating anguish, destroying race
reliability and dependence. We are
in a warfare, clyil, indeed, but- which
ig not without very ugly’ manifesta-
tions, exceeding, at times, those
known to the fields of battle—the
Waco horror, for example.
“The “enemy” if we may thus ex-

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.
| Only ourseives are borror streken, and
tend to lose heart because there is no
corresponding response to the exhibi-
tion. We are defeated by the apathy
jor indifference that follows among
those whom we wish to touch, and the
Negroes are reduced spiritually, con-
sequently there is a distinct loss as we
said im the previous editorial. The
spirit of true nobility dictates that
jour sacrifice be smothered deep in the
heart, something never to be forgot-
tem, but too sacred, we will say, to
fling to the breeze of scoffs and
fiounts of those who caused them
|And unless a race has true nobility,
it will, like a people without vision,
perish from the face of the earth.
What shall we do? We should keep
Stout bearts, forgetting at no time to
lay our complaints before those that
can help us in the matters of which
we complain. The “King” should be
respectfully petitioned, mot secompa
nied by grief and lamentation, the
certain sign of feeblenese and help
lJessness. Kings nor men care any-
‘thing about impotency, helplessness
or any of their signs. We advance

by the sight of wounds. We still in

should conform to the doctrine of the
higher laws. We proceed up through
the courts and not by the way of

failing there we are to be resigned,
going back, working inward reforms,
becoming most fitted and efficient then
advance again to our Verdun. We
take our rights in republics; not bez
them. We do not wring out mercy,
we take what belongs to us. If we

SACRIFICING TO AN END.
“He that loveth his life shall lose
it"—a startling proposition one, per
haps, would say at first blush, but
true enough in more ways than one
‘The Bible as a book of literature, of
precept, of example is not surpassed,
it is said by sebolars and thinkers, for
its influence on the human family.
To lose one’s life and to gain it at
the same time is paradoxical enough
wet there are plenty examples in
human affairs of that very thing. How-
lever, the life referred to may not be
a direct answering of the death. Nor
will the proposition fit every situation
in life. It is not always possible that
the particular Ife sacrificed will gain.
In some form the law is general. The
dying acorn of today is the oak of
tomorrow. Death unto life, is the law
of most religions, and as ft seems for
most every thing under heaven.
With men the law is applicable in
various ways, and no day passes but
when the individual can see an oppor-
tunity to sacrifice for a good beyond
himself; and since ft is good it is a
contibution to the world's stock of
happiness. In thinking along this line
we may well conclude that suffering
Jand hunger, while heir to the world
should be at a minimum if it rests
with members of the human family to
thus reduce it. And the world is tak-
ing largely of that view in these later
days. The ery of the Christians of
Armenia is heard In America and an.
‘swered, and as it happened also as it
concerns other countries that were
brought low by the world’s tragedy
‘being enacted on the soil of the old
world. We take it that this is also
a manner of love which is referred to,
denying oneself in the interest pf
lothers, not taking too much thought
lof the individual to the exclusion of
all others.
It we love our lives too dearly there
will follow a compensating loss some-
where. We do not lose directly, but
the world is communal. The individ-
ual cannot live merely for self. His
laspirations as a rule are to see about
him evidences of the best that the
world can set forth, in governments in
peoples, and these things obtaining
he is in agreement with his nature
‘which when ministered to by its bet-
ter angel is more or less touched with
divinity. So in a way the individual
salvation, or his better existence is
[dependent on the theory that “he that
lloveth bis life shall lose it.”
‘The state is good and happy as the
individuals are good and happy—
happy in their collectiveism as well
as individually and of course, a na-
tural result. At times society must
be protected, or advanced. In such
events the individual must give away
to the demand of the general good.
‘And the good citizen bows in sub-
mission to the demand since it means
‘the conservation and perpetuity of
the society of which he is 2 member.
‘The border line of our country
which touches on Mexico is to be pre-
served inviolate, freed of the excur-
sions of lawless men. It is a phase
lof governmental principle, and which,
if not enforced, would result in the
destruction of ‘society as it is best
understood. The decay would reach
jevery man.
‘Then from the “four corners” of the
earth, as it were, are heard the tramp
lof feet, leading with clear vision to
‘the spot where duty calls. These are
‘the people’s representatives, sent forth
en a vicarious mission—to die that
‘their country maintains its status as @
safe and salutary haven for those that
make it up. This is an undoubted ser-
‘vice. The soldier whose duty it is to
die, since war deals in death, loves
‘his’ life, but his country more.
It is not necessary that every sol-
Jdier dies to prove that soldiers are of
the utmost importance. The death
of one is a sign for the whole. One
life is as a million lives, since its
destruction is as disastrous to the
little group with which it mingled,
when at-home, as the million deaths
|would be to the million groups, none
lot which is moré important than the
other: Soldiers are one by one and
not by the millions... If there is a
‘greater loss in the millions over the
lone it fs simply hecause of the weak-
ened condition of the state. through
ithe great numerical reduction.
‘The soldiers who go to the front in
‘the name of the nation are precisely
the same to that nation in a civil and
political was as Christ was to the
world of Christianity.

The Jewish Business Mon's
League of South St., Philadelphia, saw it to enter a protest and have the Colored Policemen removed from this popular downtown business horde.
The policemen did not furnish them adequate protection, also the Business league
frequented the Colored Policemen frequented South St. would have more respect for the authority of white policemen than for those of their own.
Subsequent events have proven the fallacy of this reasoning, since the precedent wave of crime has swept South and its neighboring streets. The Police department of other large cities has used Colored policemen for the purpose of suppressing crime in the Negro districts, and using Colored policemen have
If the Police Department had seen fit to remove the Colored policemen to other districts, there would have been no need for the arrest of Philadelphia, but when the removal was at the instigation of the Jewish business men, and when these same Jewish business men were from the patronage of Colored people, great indignation was manifested. Mr. Williams is the acknowledged champion of the city of Brotherly Love (?). Mr. Williams, with Andrew Stevens, of the Banking firm of Brown and Stevens, of the mass meetings were held, with these worthy gentlemen presiding. The Colored people were asked to withhold their patronage from the South St. Mr. Williams printed thousands of handbills and posters, exhorting the Colored people to stand together and to refuse to feed those who would bite them after eating.
The action of the Colored people caused consternation among the Jewes, and they presented at the meeting of the league, the resolutions we passed that caused the removal of the Colored policemen, the resolutions we passed that caused the copies of these letters printed in the Tribune. The Police Commissioner was sought, he endeavored to shield the Jewes from the police, in thinking that the exchange of Police was an action separate from the Business League, so that the Colored people sought to fool the Colored people by ordering back a Colored policeman for duty on South St. for a few hours each day, so that the Colored people were being treated thus that the Police Department a chance to say that the Colored policemen were being treated, the fact remains that the white policemen are still doing duty on South St. Mr. Williams and Mr. Steven are still waiting for their right. They have been offered large sums of money to desist, but with these men the price of honor comes too low. They have been offered the South St. Businessmen's League. One good result of the fight is that

**FIGHT WITH YOUR FISTS, BUT
KEEP HANDS OUT.** SAYS
**SALFM WHITNEY.**
Salem Tutt Whitney believes in fighting, but not in the kind of open-arm uplifting, but in the kind of open-arm chines, such as are used in the European war.
Yes, it's all right to fight with a man face to face. If he insults you, your wife, sister or mother, fight back. If you can, and you can, good if you can; and you can, good if you will know that you have stood "But don't you go to war, and don't send your boys out to be ground up in madness." You can, in turning a crank on a giant gun when you cannot even see who it kills. That is cowardly; it is murder, salem. That Tutt Whitney is the leading comedian of the Smart Sex, which berber with a new two-act musical show.

"Old Timers" are well represented on the bill this week, and they are not remiss in providing detectable entertainers in the show. Tutt Whitney's "Jubilee Minstrels" of 20 people, which is the headliner. They revive on the boards of Gibson's New York club, and the theatre-goers of this town have for that old style of entertainment. With Homer Tutt as interlocutor and Homer Tutt as assistant shall and William Face as end men, all old in the ways of the black face, and a quartette of male, singers that objectively show the talent stuff that the tenor minstrel man has always used. The act proves a big success. Salem Tutt Whitney is even mellifluous, and deeply deeply introduced imitations are hard to surpass. Steve Bam sings with a gusto and throws over comments with a punch. The act has further dazzled by the plenty of jokes of a timely sort. The
the Colored business men of Philadelphia have organized a company and are selling limited stock, for the parish houses for the accommodation of the Colored people and there is no doubt that business enterprises receive the limited port of the Colored people of Philadelphia. We need more true men in the Race, like Mr. Maree, who are unwilling to sell their birth-right for a mess of pottage.
Dave Listen, is again able to be about, after a two weeks confinement in the Polyclinic Hospital. He will soon appear in Steve and Liston's stock company.
Miss Hattie Akers has recovered from a broken leg and has appeared before the footlights once more to the manifest delight of her many admirers.
Moss and Frye, the popular vaudeville team have received a flattering offer to exhibit abroad this coming summer, and not lessened the demand for good Colored talent in the war stricken countries.

The Freeman is gaining in popularity all the time. The number of copies he has published is quite to meet the demand. The same cry comes from Ne work and other companies. The management should take immediate measures to supply the demand from this section of the country.
Frank Brown and company have been presenting some very fine dramatic skits at Gibson's new Standard. Mr. Brown, the company's Brown, leading ability and temperament, but he is a producer as well, having written all the playbills that his company has produced. Lady, deserves great credit for her really meritorious work. Mr. Dumont the cost worthy special mention.
Al Branch, proprietor of the Horseshoe cafe in Atlantic City, will open a swell restaurant at 12th and 13th floors, and will be one of the finest in the city. Mr. Branch is not saving money but is expending money to pay for friends may enjoy every comfort that money can afford them. There will be a welcome party and a welcome is extended the public to come and visit the new establishment. Mr. Branch is a Colored man and stands for all the highest and best in his profession is the desire of the patronage of all Philadelphiaians.
Sheldons Comedy Comiques, the young and the old, skilled athletes who are born in fashion go through a series of challenges, including Strayborn, a juvenile singing and dancing team make a decided hit. They are viewed as a promising act as promised for this week in presentation of Frank Brown and co-pair in "Deception", and the promise is fulfilled in a most satisfying maneuver. The show is probably enacted and poves another hit for Lillian Brown, War, adventures, and charmingly resolved in "The Recruit, or joining the Army", an act that closes the show. It keeps the audience pleased and interested, and it has made a name for its popular South Philadelphia play house.
DEWAYMAN NILES, OUR FAVOR
ITE, AGAIN, OURS IN
OUR CITY.
(By Samuel McDuffy.)
Oklahoma City, Okla., July 18—The Rabbit's Foot Minstrels played here last night giving a first class performance of Dewayn Niles the contortionist, who charmed and astonished the people of this city seven years ago in his admirers present, many not knowing that he was with the show, and were delighted by his presence. Since last he was seen here he has far surpassed himself. With ease, and more graceful than ever, he parlayed his fame into a difficult contortion feats ever witnessed by human eyes. While Niles performed those thrilling feats, the enthused him and his wonder. Many turned their heads and refused to look at him. He wears a collection of costumes and attention. This denotes that he has met with success and prosperity in the show world. He has been a part of our city in vaudeville very soon. We will be glad to have him back. He is a great credit to the colored theatrical passion, and the absence from the crowd would mean a considerable weakness on the program.
NEWS OF THE SILAS GREEN
SHOW
Four Big Novelty Acts and Every One a Feature.
First, George Baker, known in the theatrical circles as "Marvelous La Buster," sets wire walker of today and makes his audiences rather nervous fearing he will be like a fly on the wall, and closes his act with a trick the writer has never seen before. He makes a sketch of the wire walker leaving her on the wire by the back of his head. At this some of the audience close their eyes in fright. Little Mrs. Iris Boyd, the greatest female contortionist of her race, and is learning new tricks with the help of her sister, leaves her on the wire to climb so loimbs to walk. Mrs. Boyd is also taking saxaphone lessons under the instructor and is progressing nicely. Keep it up, "Mutt," and is Means—Buster—Means, the celebrated chair balancer and little Buster the Dog with human sense, and the only one of its kind, cept those who try to imitate. But we lead while others follow. Buster
Fourth, last, but not least, come those wonderful boys, the Watts Bros., the best comedy acrobats and the tumbling jesters, the funny boys with those funny twists in their line.

First on the oloi is Ada Lockhart, our leading lady, who has added to her repertoire "Barny," sending her son to Mexico, featuring "Barny from Killarney" and "Be The Friends or Foe, the People," and "Home of Sweet Home," and she is screaming them each night.

We must say for Mr. Williams, our noble manager, that he certainly has the skills to think big and thinking faculties. He feels that he can't give the public too much for its needs. He feels that he has carried the last ten years with Colored shows, and he expects to see the public ever witness, and in doing so he expects to show the public something new and rare every year and entertaining. So from this it can be seen that no act with the goods can compete with Prof. Eph Williams' Elsine Green Show.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 22—The Red Sox to Bowser's A. B. C.s in the most recent season, to L. Lafayette outwit the hitters and later issued eight passes, but poor running lost the game.

Of them being doubles.
Pryor was wild but effective with man on man. The fielding of Shook of the Soo, was excellent for the game. Rhodes and Pate, of the other hits, led their team at bat, each garnering two safeties. Demoss

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 20—After an absence of sixteen years, during which time, as a member of the New York Giants, he made a reputation for his professional baseball. Christy Mathewson returns here tomorrow to manage the Reds, the team that allowed him to slip through the picks, a kick. With Mathewson comes two of his teammates, Outfielder Rousch and Infielder McKeechon, who will play in the final two games of Charles Herzog, manager of the local team for the last two years, and who, incidentally, was a member of the Giants previous to his coming to Cincinnati, and Outfielder Killefer.
Aspired to Be a Manager.
Some years ago Manager McGraw of the Giants established a rule that provided that he would not be allowed to play a game in which he was pitching. In principle this rule was adhered to to the last, as a statement issued by the Giants. Yorks today revealed had asked for permission to negotiate for a managerial berth to the team's minds. While the deal involved only the two Cincinnati players for the three New York players, it was hard to argue that President Herman announced that Matthson the fact that it was not until Matty would vole in charge of the team be allowed. Even until the last New York endeavored to hold on to Matty conditionally,
Clinclnati's Demand Met.
The deal was consummated at noon today, after a two-hour conference between President Herrmann and Hempstead Giants. The trade had been practically agreed upon a couple of days ago, until New York insisted that Herrmann which would subject him to recall after two years. At the conference today, Hempstead and McGraw finally agreed to allow Matheny to play a property of the Cincinnati club.
Immediately after the confrontation with Hertzog, the latter agreeing to all parts of the agreement.
THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER
contract which, it is said, calls for the same salary that he received while managing the Cincinnati club—$10,000 a year. Iv Wingo, catcher and captain of the Reds, took charge of the team today in the double-header with Philadelphia. Herzog signing with New York Giants, shuffled and Mathewson still being in Chicago.
Herzog's Consent Necessary
Herzog's Consent Necessary. Herzog's contract with the Reds stipulated that he must have his consent. Herzog was waiting at a hotel pending the conclusion of the conference in Herrmann's office and McGraw went at once to the hotel deal, but Herzog, in the terms of the deal had been agreed upon. President Herzog issued the fol-
President Herrmann issued the following statement:
"We expect gerat things through the new deal. McGraw himself says that in the best outfitters in the country, Rousch being both fast and a hard hitter can not make up the speed manager can not make up the speed team, and by obtaining Rousch we add another trade to this trade; in addition to this trade we expect to make several other trades in an effort to add more strength to the team to be made before the team starts. East."
Matty Held in High Regard.
President Hempstead made the following statement: "I wish to announce the release of the College of Business to thetwon of the College baseball club,wishes for his success are mingled with many regrets that he will leave the College baseball club years the New York fans have enjoyed the games in which he has participated and have given him their unqualified support, good work and respect. He was in the highest regard, but not more than 1 or the entire management of the baseball club, and his high regard for the organization, have placed him in our hearts as well as in our minds, and there was no thought circumventing his services to thetwon of the College baseball club requested permission to trade for him to act as their manager. He was the greatest teacher, privilege and feeling that he was due him for his past services, under these conditions. I most reluctantly consented." Certainly wish him well in his new line of endeavor and trust that his name will stand as "high as a manager of the United States."

RICH DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS
State Fair Will Give Gorgeous Night Program.
The most gorgeous displays of centennial fireworks to be fired in Indiana this year will be seen at the big night spectacle which will be the centenary feature of the state fair the week of Sept. 4. The spectacle itself will be a brilliant historical review of Indiana for 100 years and the fireworks program each evening has been especially made up for the big patriotic demonstration.
The fireworks will include a long list of special set pieces, one of them snowing the evolution of transportation in Indiana from the ox team down to the modern locomotive. Another feature will be a Hoosier barnyard scene, showing a barn covered with fiery flowers, where a farmer is feeding his chickens while the cows and pigs look on.
One of the richest displays will be a Hoosier rose in evolution, showing the formation of the leaves, the opening of the bud, the full blown flower, gradually fading in its loveliness until its petals fall.
Georgeous skyrockets, salutes to Old Glory, centennial peace bombs fired hundreds of feet in the air, and other superb features will combine in making the program the greatest of the kind ever seen in Indiana.
FISH, FOOD, FORESTRY
EXHIBITS AT STATE FAIR
A new feature of interest to all visitors at the coming Indiana state fair will be a large exhibit of fish from the lakes and streams of the state, which will be exhibited by Eugene Shireman, fish and game commissioner. Fifty varieties of the finny tribe, from the smallest perch to the largest bass and carp, will be shown in twenty-five aquariums, making it the greatest show of fish from Indiana waters that has every been made.
The Indiana board of forestry will have an extensive exhibit in its building on the fair grounds, and a number of the lumber companies will join in making the forestry display on much greater scale than usual.
The Indiana food commissioner will also make a great exhibit at the fair, one of the features being of fraudulent weights and measures taken from unscrupulous dealers over the state, and another will be an unsanitary grocery store, showing how foods are handled in some unclean stores, and still another will be a clean grocery that handles only pure foods.
All of these state government exhibits will have high educational value and will teem with attraction for all visitors at the fair.

The Fourth of July celebration at the fair grounds, under the auspices ofasons, old Fallow and young Fallow, was a great affair, so the old vets say. There was something doing all day.

Band concerts six times a week, picture shows twice a week, baseball every Saturday there is plenty of pressure to keep the old vets interested, so don't be afraid to come for fear you will get lonesome.

Rinse brush with water, then mouth, then apply eight or ten drops of Sucrose to teeth thoroughly, brushing across and up and down, using pressure; then use only water and brush after each meal. Not necessary to use paste, use only water and brush them. Do it yourself. Use Superior Cleaner every other day if you choose until clean, then a few drops once a day. Use paste to allow the tartar to accumulate again. Water and brush is all that is necessary between these different intervals of time. Agent wanted. Write today for terms.

THE SUCCESS OF THE HAWAIIAN PREPARATIONS AND WHY YOU SHOULD BE AN AGENT.
Our goods have been on the market everywhere they have been introduced. They always take the leadership in every city or town where they are located and any other system on the market today.
Our agents are all successful and have little trouble in building a link between the different diseases and the we teach them more about the care of the scalp, than just washing and drying their hair. We understand the different diseases of the scalp as the doctor does the body. By the customer explaining how their agents are able to explain to them WHY their hair acts so and the cause of such actions. When our agents treat the proper care of the agents concerning the different diseases and the proper care of them they don't understand the scalp, but they know at a glance at the scalp and by the customer explain-
ing how their hair acts. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in a healthy condition
Some people are of the opinion that what will grow one person's hair will grow in the scalp. If the scalp receives the proper treatment the scalp will not grow in the treating of the scalp. The main thing is getting the scalp in condition is using the right kind of shampoo. This being neglected by so many people, softens the hair, cures humor, slight cases of tetter and eczema; it opens up the skin, cures humor, slight cases of all impurities. We give our agents receipts for making tonics for the combing out of the hair, bad cases of tetter and eczema, and comer comes in with such a bad case that our shampoo can not cure up fast and out any extra charges to the customer. These tonics are not sold by agents to the customer, they them to effect a cure when needed. Those who wish to give our goods a trial, send $1 for a five assorted shipment. Those desiring the agency send term.
