A Visit to the Farm.
Mr. J. L. Lucas, one of our leading barbers, spent a few days this week visiting friends near Creston on a farm.

J., whom he visited have in their possession $4,170 worth of land, over a hundred head of cattle and about the same of horses, also have a car load of hogs ready for market and expect to ship this or next week.

DES MOINES IOWA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1907.
HONOR TO WHOM IT IS DUE.
There is an abundance of opportunity for everyone to do something to better the condition of the people all over this country, as well as in each locality. Many are the grave problems that are springing up before us, and many of these have to do with the race that we are a part of. As we watch from year to year the working of the statesmen at the national capital, as well as in each state, we see nothing more potent than a christian education, whatever else may be said, the religion of Christ tends to good citizenship. If we are right surely this should start every patriotic citizen of every denomination, as well as with those of no religious belief, for the lifting or all to a better citizenship. This will tend to solve some of the most serious racial problems. We do not depreciate other forces or individual work. God speed every individual whose helping hand is underneath this dispised race.

K. of P. GRAND LODGE NOTES
But have you stopped to consider the small number who are really doing something for humanity; or have you considered the great host who can't do anything themselves and are trying to prevent others from doing. If you have not, just watch the great host who are yelping at the heels of Booker T. Washington. If higher education will better solve the problem, do something that will convince the people and you will have a host to follow. So long as there is a demand for skilled mechanics, just so long can Tuskegee send out to all parts of the country such good teachers and skilled mechanics. Mr Washington will be admired by the American people regardless of race. There is a host who can teach and a host who can preach, but those who can think and produce a thought that will benefit all are but few in any race.
It means much to be a successful teacher, and Mr. DuBois should be proud to know the American Missionary Society founded such a school as the Atlanta University, and it is a fact that as a teacher Mr. DuBois has but few equals.
There are a host of able men and women all over this country who are helping humanity. Let us be contented with our calling. A race that is divided against itself cannot stand. The world is better by Mr. Washington having lived in it. Let there be no strife among our people.
MINNESOTA STATE FEDERATION.
Third Annual Convention of Afro-American Women's Club Held in Pilgrim Baptist Church, St. Paul, July 24-27.
The above mentioned dates foretold of a busy week in the Saints City, when the ninety-four delegates representing the different clubs in the state began to pour into the Pilgrim Baptist church. Enthusiasm prevailed on all sides and from the demonstrations one would have thought this organization older than the rest. We would give to give a complete report of the work done, yet I will only give a brief synopsis of the good things accomplished. The meeting was presided over by our state president, Mione E. Glibs, in her unusual unassuming way. We had as our honored guest Mrs. E. Glibs, who is on address Wednesday evening. Many interesting papers were read and ably discussed. Funds are being raised for the erection of an old folks home, which is the real object of the Federation. The art exhibit was a rare beauty. The next event held the Monopolis the third Wednesday in July. The following are the newly elected officers:
President—Mrs. L. A. Turner, St. Paul.
First Vice President—Mrs. Jessie Williams, Duluth.
Editor—Mrs. Mattie R. Wade, Minneapolis.
Associate Editors--Mrs. Jessie McBery of Duluth, Mrs. Bianche Charleston of St. Paul

THE K. P. GRAND SESSION.
The thirteenth annual session of the Knights of Pythias of the jurisdiction of Iowa held a three day session here last work, and it was a successful meeting in many ways.
TUESDAY MORNING.
The Grand Chancellor, L. W. Williams of Boone, opened the grand session with the assistance of his other grand officers at 10:30 o'clock. The roll call revealed the fact that more than a quorum was present. The Grand Chancellor then appointed his various committees.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
This session was taken up by committee reports and work pertaining to the order, also secret instructions were given.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
At this session the Grand Chancellor delivered his annual address and the other grand officers made their annual report, which show-much growth in Iowa, as several new lodges had been organized. They received greetings and words of cheer from sister jurisdiction. The beneficiary feature was taken up and discussed, some thought it best to increase the capital stock.
In the afternoon at 2:30 the grand lodge ceased its labor and marched through the principle streets on the West Side to the A. M. E. church, where memorial services were held. The services were conducted by Rev. O. A. Johnson, owing to the absence of Rev. W, Sampson Brooks, assisted by Rev' T. L. Griffith of Corinthian Baptist, Rev. Roey of Ft. Dodge and Rev J. W. Smith of Burlington. The music for this occasion was furnished by our new colored brass band, which did well and won many applauses. The formation of the parade was Des Moines Colored Concert band, Uniform Rank from Buxton, the local lodges, Court of Hermione of Calanthe of Buxton in carriages, followed by the grand officers. In the evening a welcome reception was held at Gibson's new hall and the program carried out as printed in our last issue. A large crowd attended this reception and after the program refreshments were served.
The morning was the great work of the session for all the reports of the various committees were received and some very important laws passed to better the condition of the order.

Great Iowa State Fair
AUGUST 23rd TO 30th.
Great Shorthorn Show Entries at State Faint Indicate Cattle
Owners are active.
Shorthorn cattle take the lead in Iowa over all other breeds, or so it appears from the entries at the State Fair, just closed. Iowa will this year have the greatest exhibition of shorthorns ever brought together at a fair. Eleven different states are represented by the 300 head of shorthorns entered by 37 exhibitors, nowa having by far the largest number.
While the shorthorn class is larger than any other, the entry list shows as follows: Shorthorns 300, Angus 120, Herefords 100, Galloways 70, Jersey 58, Red Polled 57, Polled Durham 48, Holsteins 41, steers 50. In all there are over 800 entries in the cattle department, there being 85 separate exhibitors, an increase of at least 15 per cent over last year.
Entries were made by 75 different parties in the horse department, the total number of horses entered being about 450, a slight increase over last year and sufficient to more than fill all the stalls.
This showing of live stock is extremely gratifying to Iowa believers in the virtue of live stock and best breeds, and it indicates confidence that this is to be a bigger and better fair than anyr Inquiries in regard to poultry and sheep, show that in these departments, all the space will be taken, and it is already known that every pen in the new swine pavilion will be needed. Thus it is certain that the Iowa live stock show will this year surpass all its prede-
EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS.
The city of Peoria, Illinois, was a new town for the Bystander observer to visit, hence we had but few subscribers there, but hereafter many of the best colored citizens will read it. This is the second largest city in the state, next to Chicago in size, and third in color. There are 2,000 colored citizens here. Many are doing well from the brief glimpse we got, for we were only here about one half day. So you will not expect a complete write-up of this time. This is a city of brewers. There is one old brewer, and many new brewers. It is an old city with some old buildings, and yet some new modern bues. There are two colored doc
lors. Dr. J. H. Shepper, who has a large practice among both classes. He is a man of letters and of wealth and stands for true manhood, a race man, yet not a talker, but a doer. He has a down town office at 302 Fayetteville, but five miles away, the guest physician. He has a lucrative practice. He is a younger man than Dr. Shepper and is making a great name for himself. He is a race lover, a fine gentleman to meet. His lovely city is congenial. She has visited our town many times, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Young, the auditor. It was here that we met Mrs. Geo. Young, who is so well known in our city. She has been sick last spring. Her husband is still on the ground, and she will be here this summer. Rev. B. N. Murrell is a brilliant and highly educated young minister, who has charge of the large Mt. Zion Baptist church. He attended the Illinois State university. He will soon be visiting the campus. He will charge of the A. M. E. church and says he is doing well. He is a very pleasant man to meet. Mr. R. A. Gibbons is doing well. They own a very beautiful and valuable home. Mrs. Fannie Wollridge is an old and highly educated man. He is on seventh Avenue. Mr. Joe H. Conway runs a first class, up-to-date restaurant and lunch rom. He is making money and knows how to save it. He has been here about ten years and a very social and business like man to work on seventh Avenue. Mr. Joe H. Conway is a young business man who is doing a thriving business. He is a coming business young man. G. T. Jackson is another enterprising young man, who conducts a tonsorial and social business in Jackson street. He has recently opened up a news站, where one can buy all the leading colored newspapers and magazines. The Bystander will be sold there. He is a real race man and saloon and he has made lots of money. There are many other parties and things that I might mention, but time and space will not allow at this writing.

"All is not gold that glitters." Sad affair, but they were all white.

Citron Tree and the Bible
Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event, it appears that "citron" would often be the right rendering in passages where the authorized version of the Bible gives "apple." For instance in the Proverbs, the spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." And in the Song of Solomon, "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons." And again, "Stay me with flagsons' comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love."

"What's all the row about?" the hungry man queried. "the manager of the city restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and detain a departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks been missing, and it had been discovered that certain patrons were economical. As the apo. so of the management of the hotel would order 15 cents' worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secrete the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter's worth more of eatables. The waiter would then give a check for 40 cents, but when it came time to pay the customer would use the 15-cent ticket to get by the door. "H.m," muttered the hungry man; "fine scheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cashier.
