To the editor of the Iowa State Stander: I am back again from the Appalachian Exposition at Knoxville. Tenn. I really found more than I expected to see. That was, indeed, a great exposition; it was a new movement for the South. It was, indeed, marvelous, magnificent, and a mamouth presentation, of which the most important events were the showing of the wonderful development of the resources of the South, and a conspicuous part which has been the main focus of our work. It was shown by the representation of the Negroes at this exposition that they are still alive to every interest that adds to the progress and pace of the modern day. To appreciate the scope and magnitude of this exposition, one would have to see it for themselves. I am today more of a believer in the advancement of the race than I have ever been before. With the door of opportunity shut against him, yet when the writers shall write the names of men of fame and fortune of the world, the Negroes' name will be written here too. At this exposition the negroes were up-to-date in the following departments: Agriculture, live stock, raising poultry, millinery, dress making, domestic science, history, inventions, manufactured products, and education, and was given the credit of having the best educational exhibit on the ground. The greatest need of the colored man today is co-operation. With the push and will of the negro today, with his art of doing things with completeness, if once the race could combine and go into co-operative business, there is no telling the showing it would make in the next ten years, but there is a lack of confidence in the masses, and in the leaders or elites. Some of the new features of this Appalachian Exposition. It is an incorporated association and stock company, whose shares are sold to white and colored, and is incorporated for ten years. When I was in Knoxville I made inquiry as to whether or not any more stock is to be sold, and was informed that the sale of stock had been closed. One of the stockholders informed me that he thought the association would pay out this year for the expense of building and preparing the ground, and perhaps there would be a small dividend if the gate receipts kept up at the rate they were now going. I inquired about the receipts, and was told that they averaged $10,000 a day. The president of the colored department, a very prominent gentleman by the name of Dr. H. M. Green, who is quite a property owner in Knoxville, and does business in a three story building, which he owns, known as the Green Building, 108 East Vine avenue. He is also one of Knoxville's city aldermen. Dr. Green was aided by his work with W. D. Edington, one of the West Virginia universities, a young man of good common sense description. A number of very estimable ladies also assisted Dr. Green in the work. Mrs. Nannie Evans, of Athens, Tonn; Mrs. M. T. Manson, Mrs. W. H. Lane, Mrs. W. W. Burk, all of Knoxville, with a number of others, gave valuable service. The grounds are larger than our state fair grounds, and very much prettier. Jim crowed? Yes, but I will tell you about that in our next. The spirit of the voting up of this Appalachian Exposition was Mr. Wm. J. Oliver of Knoxville, a very wealthy plow and wagon manufacturer. He declared that in this exposition should be represented all the people, and said that all people's should be privileged to all departments on the ground, and to all buildings on the ground. This idea was carried out. There was no "Jim crowing" on the Appalachian ground. We had at this exposition some of the best colored speakers in the country to deliver speeches each week, and on the 8th of October the speech making was closed by Col. Roosevelt. At this point, Mr. Editor, I will close, and finish in our next. Yours very respectfully, T. E. BARTON, 1306 G Street, N. E., Washington, D. C. ENTERPRISE.

The machine itself is held up as the direct cause of much unhappiness and suffering, and a vast deal of ethical denunciation is hurled at it from many sides. It would seem that there are only three classes of people who are at all justified in palling against the machine itself, say the Washington Post. They are the man who gets run into, or nearly run into, by one; the farmer whose horse is afraid of "the peaky thing" and, most of all, the man who cannot get one. Those who are outside of one of these classes really mistake the thing they condemn. What they mean to get at is the extravagant, irresponsible, spendthrift habits of a limited number of automobile owner, of which the machine is only the outward and visible sign. They forget that if it is not an automobile, it will surely be something else. Of the man who can well afford to own and maintain an automobile there is nothing by right to be said; it is wholly his own private business. If a man mortgage his house to buy one, that is entirely within his own right, and if he choose to own an automobile rather than to have a house, it is not at all clear that he has committed any breach of ethics or morality by the exchange. The difficulties of teaching astronomy even in its most elementary form, are perhaps, only known to those who have attempted it. A London assistant school mistress stated some time ago that she was not fully convinced "of the inutility of attempting to instill into the minds of nine-year-old girls a knowledge of the more recondite branches of astronomy." She says that, according to instructions, she explained to her class the uses and purposes of the zodiac. Some days afterward she resumed the astronomy lesson, and, in order to test the recollection of the pupils, she asked, "What is the zodiac?" "There aren't none now, m'am," replied one little girl; "I's bust up. What's burst up?" asked the teacher, in great surprise. "The sody 'urk, answered the girl," "where they made the soda water; and father's been thrown out of work." Investigation showed that a soda water manufactory in the neighborhood where the girl lived had been closed through the bursting of a steam pipe, and the pupil had seen in this catastrophe the collapse of the zodiac. The buying of foodstuffs by weight is being agitated as a plan to affect the cost-of-living problem in favor of the housewife and enable her to come nearer getting the worth of her money. If it will do either, or both, it should be adopted without delay, providing it entails no incidental hardship that would offset its benefits. But would such a plan produce these results? Theoretically, one is inclined to answer yes, for it does seem that one would be paying for what he got by buying by weight and not measure, or article, says the Omaha Bee. Yet in places where the plan has been in vogue has it accomplished this? California has always bought by weight even potatoes, fruit—nearly everything in the edible line—and yet the people of California have been caught by the high-cost-of-living wave along with the rest of us. In Cuba, it is said, the plan works with good results, it being applied even more thoroughly there than in California. Eggs are bought by the pound in Cuba and the American advocates of the plan propose that we buy eggs the same way. Advice by an energetic, efficient business man to a tired man now going back to work after a rest spell: "Take things easier and get more fresh air. No worry. Do the most important thing first and then the next. Generally, the things you don't do aren't worth doing. What you think you ought to do you want to do up to the handle and do it quick and then forget it. Don't putter. The way to get along, in my judgment, is to work up to the limit for a certain limited number of hours and then stop. A man can get further in the long run walking three and a half miles an hour for eight hours out of each 24 than he can go two miles an hour for 16 hours in 24. The first way he can keep going and improve; the last way he will deteriorate and finally have to quit." The big army maneuvers in France participated in by 60,000 troops, have ended, and the experts are summing up results. Among the conclusions reached is one to the effect that airships are highly valuable auxiliaries in military service, and special mention is made of the work done by aeroplanes, which hereafter are to accompany armies and carry trained military observers. This means a new and important feature in the event of actual war. Apparently it is not safe for brides to riggle when the prospective bridegroom dislikes gigging—at least it is not safe until after the bridegroom has been "tanded." Because his fiancée snickered when the two applied for a license at Taunton, Mass., the man in the case refused to have the marriage ceremony performed. Probably the girl had, a fortune escape. A fellow who is such a churl as that was not likely to make a very agreeable neighbor, anyway. AMERICA II. FOUND AMERICA II. FOUND HAWLEY AND POST LANDED OCTOBER 19 IN CANADIAN WILDERNESS.

SOLONS DENY BRIBE CHARGE Pemberton and Clark Assert No Money Was Offered Them for Their Votes in Desk Contracts. Springfield, Ill.—State Senator Stanton C. Pemberton, co-defendant with Representative Joseph S. Clark in the legislative furniture grant was took in the Sangamon circuit court and stated emphatically that he never had any conversation with A. B. Johnston or anyone else regarding getting money or other valuable consideration in letting the furniture contract. He declared he had never even talked with Holstlaw or Clark regarding the awarding of the contract and did not know how they would vote the question of the contract of the committee at which the contract was awarded. "I never talked with J. W. Knox regarding Holstlaw, Clark and myself voting together or said that we wanted to get anything out of the contract. Knox met me the morning the contract was let and said: The contract for the furniture will be let today. Will you speak a good word for me?" I told him I would. That was all of that conversation. A number of character witnesses testified and the defense closed. TWO INDIANA BANKS CLOSED Lebanon National Goes Into Liquidation, American Trust Company in Hands of State Officials.

Washington—Believing he has accomplished his mission, Owain S. Straus, the American ambassador to Turkey, is desirous of retiring from the diplomatic field and return to the United States permanently. Mr. Straus saw the president and reported that all the matters in dispute between Turkey and the United States which he had been delegated to adjust have been satisfactorily dis Oscar S.

He has not resigned his post and if the president insists upon it Mr. Straus will return to Constantinople at the end of his sixty days' leave of absence. RUIN WROUGHT BY CYCLONE Belleved 100 Lives Lost in Storm Tidal Wave and Volcanic Eru- ption in Southern Italy. Rome.—The extent of the havoc wrought Monday by the strange elemental combination of cyclone, tidal wave and volcanic eruption on the slopes of Vesuvius and on the island of Ischia, being the definitely determined, owing to the interruption of communication. One hundred persons are said to have been killed. The monetary loss will probably be great. The disaster appears to have come in the form of a cyclone, having three centers, the first over the island of Ischia, the second over the town of Torre del Greco on the east coast of the Bay of Naples, and the third sweeping the gulf of Salerno. Accompanying the cyclone were a cloudburst, from Mount Vesuvius and from a crater suddenly opened on the summit of the long extinct Mount Efnomeo on the island of Ischia. Many houses collapsed in this city, due to the subsidence of the surface of the earth during the recent volcanic eruptions, and thirty feet of mud covers many of the roads in the outlying districts. In habitats fed to the higher parts of the island, and those who escaped the rush of water are reported to be suffering from hunger and exposure. The Italian minister of the interior has been appealed to for relief measures. Ischla is an island almost directly west of the city of Naples in the Mediterranean sea. The storm which caused that has broken communication and details are lacking. It is reported that shipping was damaged and many boats lost. Property damage in Casamicciola was heavy.

London—Ethel Ciare Leneve was acquitted Tuesday as an accessory after the fact in the murder of Belle Slmore by Dr. Hawley H. Crippen. The trial lasted but three hours. It was for love of Miss Leneve that Dr. H. H. Crippen, now under death sentence, murdered his wife. The case was to show that Miss Leneve had knowledge of either the American's intention or of the crime itself. No witnesses were called by the defense. Immediately upon the conclusion of the speech of Miss Leneve's attorney, F. E. Smith, Justice Alverstone delivered his charge to the jury and they retired, returning in twenty-two minutes with a verdict of acquittal. Miss Leneve's silm, girlish figure was the center of interest as she stood before the bar and, in a sweet, low Dr. H. H. Crippen. voice, replied to the court's interrogation as to how she would plead: London.-Dr. Harvey Hawley Crippe was Saturday sentenced to death by the lord chief justice of England. It required only 30 minutes for the jury to find the American physician guilty of murdering his actress wife, Belle Elmore, whose mutilated body was found under the cellar floor of their house. In reply to the usual questions of Lord Alverstone if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, replied in a low voice: "I still protest my innocence."

Galveston, Tex. — After having been abandoned by his crew of seven men and refused, or at least not furnished, food or water, Capt. E. Walls of the schooner Holliswood was picked up 100 miles off the Campebye banks on Thursday, October 20, by the schooner Parkford, which brought the wrecked schooner with about $680,000 feet of cypress lumber below deck, into this port. Almost dead from exposure and delirious from hunger and drinking salt water for 84 hours, the captain regained consciousness when aboard the schooner, back to the schooner unless the Parkwood would bring the dismantled ship into port. Captain Falcon feared to tow the rudderless, mastless, sparred and dilapidated storm-cracked schooner, with all but about 110,000 feet of it in the depths of lumber. He finally decided to make the try, and for one week he battled. END OF THE WORLD'S SERIES Philadelphia Americans Easily Win the 1910 Baseball Pennant From Chicago Nationals.

At the deciding contest on Sunday one of the largest crowds that ever attended a ball game in Chicago—27,374—was present, and up to the eighth gave one of the rarest exhibitions of "rooting" ever witnessed in this city. When Chicago scored in the second inning the "fans" went wild and when the Quaker City men took the lead in the fifth the crowd begged and pleaded with their favorites to "come back" and win out. But, to the surprise of the Chicago scored five runs, they sat back in their seats and watched silently the work of the youthful machine triumph over the veterans whom they had regarded as unbeatable.

Blown to Death in Mine. Central City, Col.—Jack Dean, F. V. Moore and Christopher Grendmeyer, miners at the Frontenc mine, were killed by a premature explosion in the workings. Those Dreadful Suspicions "I saw in the paper today," the regular customer remarked as he leaned back in order to help the lady barber lower the chair, "that four men had been arrested for being implicated in the murder over on Jefferson street, and later they were all released with no proof against them." "Yes," the lady barber said, twisting the curl above her ear. "Now,n't that awful? Four families put in suspense because some police servant has a suspicion." She tucked a towel neatly into the neckband of the regular customer's neck. "If the police force did less suspecting and more running there'd be a greater number of guilty parties seeing daylight in strips," the lady barber remarked derisively. "If they always want to suspect somebody before they arrest him," the regular customer remonstrated. The lady barber put a stop to further argument on his part by building a pyramid of her lather around his mouth, which, experience had shown him, would fall in if he dared to sneak. "Suspicion," she remarked, "is an awful disease. The germs of it are in everybody. All it needs is an idea to put them at work tearing down character and sending happiness to an early death." The regular customer snorted helplessly. "Suspicion is the devil's favorite vegetable. He plants it in people's mind and every year gets a crop of sin off of it." the lady barber continued. "Now, there was Susie and her husband—happened just last week. Not the marriage, but the suspicion, and if it didn't be for the blessed fact that Susie's mother had more sense in a minute than Susie had—" The regular customer had been fidgeting uneasily. Now, he asked a question that filled his mouth with lather. "Who is Susie?" he sputtered. "Susie," the lady barber said, severely. "is the sweetest bit of stillness that ever refused a dozen rich men and married a poor one. Susie is my best friend. Before Susie was married she—" "But what did Susie suspect?" "She suspected her husband, and the poor boy wouldn't do wrong for anything in the world, and Susie knew it. But that just shows how suspicion is. If it once gets a start on anybody's mind it's as certain to cause trouble as—as a mouse in a barber shop." "A lady barber shop you mean," the regular customer bombarded, relieved at last of the lather. "Do you want a close haze?" the lady barber demanded. "I'll take mine well done, please, but tell me about Susie." "Oh, yes. You see, Susie's husband works in a gents' furnishing store. He is a clerk. They've been married about two months, and never had a cross word. He adores her from the time she came to her rat, and she worships the very counter he works behind. Hot or cold towel?" "Hot—and Susie?" "Her boy got a day off last week and went down to Bean lake, fishing. That morning after he had gone a man came to the house and told Susie that a robbery had been discovered at the furnishing store—that somebody had been stealing and hosiery and other stuff for several weeks, and that it was very important that he should speak to John, and where was he. So right there the devil planted suspicion in Susie's poor head and she answered up that she didn't know. "After the man was gone she ran upstairs and looked all over John's clothes. There were an awful lot of new ones. She though it over, and then carried it down to the cellar. She was going to save her guilty husband if could. Of course he was guilty. She never doubted that a minute by this time. When they came to search the house she was determined—Wet or dry?" "Wet—no, give me a tonic, and go on with Susie." "—they should find nothing to convict him. So she started a fire in the furnace. She never had started the fire before, and it took her about an hour. It was one of those days when the mercury stood around 95, and by the time the girl had John's clothes all burned, she was about dead with exhaustion. But she burned them—every scrap. She had taken the lock in the doors before she went to the collar, you know—John had missed his train and come back. He couldn't get in, and she didn't answer his knocks, so suspicion got started on him, and he was certain that as soon as he got away from town Susle had gone out to have a time. So he left, and when he came back that night Susle was really gone, and for a day or two there was nothing but misery for Susle and John, all because of suspicion. "But how did it end?" Susle's mother took a hand and sent her back to him. He wore old ties for a week. "But about the robbery? Was he—" "Next gentleman, please!"

There is just about bed for every 100,000 consumptives all tuberculosis persons in the country are counted, both rich and poor, hardly one for every 25 or 30. If sufficient hospital accommodations are provided only for those who are too poor to pay the full price for their treatment, fully 275,000 more beds in special institutions for tuberculosis would be needed at once. The immense outlay necessary to provide and maintain many beds in hospitals like it imperative, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis declares, that such institutions be erected from public money, either municipal county or state. In order to get appropriations for public hospitals for tuberculosis, agitation is necessary, and in order to create a pign of agitation, the demand for consumptives is demanded order that an organ may carry on an effective campaign, funds are needed. These funds it is proposed to secure from many communities as possible from the community. WICE WORDS. A Physician on Food. a physician, of Portland, Oregon, has views about food. He says: "I have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health, especially by hygienic and dietetic laws. "With such a feeling to my duty I take great pleasure in saying to the medicine man that I own experience and also from personal observation I have found no food equal to Grape-Nuts, and that I find there is almost no limit to the great benefits this food will bring when used in all cases of sickness and convalescence. "It is my experience that no physical condition forbids the use of Grape-Nuts. To persons in health is nothing so nourishing and acceptable to the stomach, especially at break time, and exemplary of the human creature on the day's work. "In cases of indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grape-Nuts and cream and I think it is not advisable to overload the stomach at the morning meal. I also know the great value of Grape-Nuts when the stomach is too weak to digest other food. "This is 'written after an experience of more than 20 years treating all manner of chronic acute diseases, and I am so written voluntarily on my part without any request for it."

No Large Cities Are Included in the List of Towns Decided on for Postal Savings Institutions by the Trustees. Decorah, Ia., Oct. 27. — The Decorah, Ia., postoffice is in the list approved by the board of trustees of the postal savings bank system who have approved a list of forty-eight second class post offices at which the plan will be given its first trial. The list includes one office for each state and territory. The trustees are Postmaster General Hitchcock, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh and Attorney General Wickersham. They met in the office of the postmaster The list they formally approved was selected after careful investigation by the postal officials with a view to making the first test of the service as thorough as possible under the limited appropriation of $100,000 provided by congress, which includes all the expenses of equipment, including the engraving and printing of forms, certificates, bonds, clerical assistance, etc. Owing to the smallness of this appropriation it has been impossible to establish postal savings banks during the first year in the large cities. Communities were chosen in which the conditions were exceptionally favorable for the development of a postal savings business, mostly industrial centers where wage earners will be especially benefited by the kind of banking facilities afforded. A large patronage of the service is expected by the officials from foreign born Americans in these cities who are now remitting considerable sums to their native country usually in the form of money orders. Many of the places selected, particularly those in the west, are not adequately provided with other savings institutions. Honor Oldest Turfman West Union—Hunt Barnes, West Union's noted driver of fast horses, has just returned from a nine weeks trip through north-rn and middle Wisconsin race curriculis.

Dust is easily removed in this way without streaking woodwork or filling lungs. To beat furniture put damp, unlity cloths over the upholstered parts and beat until it is black with dust; then turn to other side. Continue with fresh cloths until no more dust shows.

That Not Herolam but Simply Prompted to Bacrifice Bacrifice A few days ago, in a somewhat squiggle neighborhood, a house caught fire. The flames shot quickly through the litter on the floor and the untidy array of clothing on the walls. A wounded dog was coming to the house and without an instant's hesitation sprang through the smoking doorway into what already seemed an inferno. A moment later she staggered out, her hands and face blackened and blistered and her eyes were red. She sore her baby, safe from harm. The afternoon papers came out with the story, printed under headlines exclaiming this mother's heroism. Men end it on street cars, and as their spirit leapt to greek noble deeds the spirit which leapt to greek noble deeds that most men would be afraid to do." But the mothers who read it at home did not think that way. Perhaps the fanger to the baby, the wrecking of the home and the burns the woman suffered brought moisture to their eyes, but to them the act was not one of heroism—it was simply what any hero would do. It didn't should do under the same circumstances—Cleveland Leader. REST AND PEACE Fall Upon Distracted Households When Cuticle Enters.

Be not deceived by Persons Using my Name to Sell You a Hair Tonic. Read These Strong Testimonials and be Convinced. Fifteen Hundred Women Taking These Treatments by a Nurse. You Will Be Surprised. The Names of More than 600 Customers. I find it a pleasure to say a word in praise of Madame Perkins and her remarkable success in scientific scalp treatment. Madam Perkins, for many years a resident of Denver, is an active member of Zion Baptist church, and one of the most favorably-known women in our state. The beautiful hair of hundreds of women in our city and other parts of the state is a tribute to her phenomenal success in her profession. The wonderful growth of her own hair is a most remarkable testimony. I cheerfully call all ladies who may be interested in the growing and beautification of the hair. Respectfully. Having taken Mrs. T. S. D. Perkins' treatment for the hair for about nine months, I can say it has given perfect satisfaction in every way. My hair was not two inches long when I began to take the treatment, and was very uneven. In some places I could not get it up at all. In these nine months my hair has grown six and one-half inches in length all over my head. I can advise any woman who wishes to have hair to take treatment of Mrs. Perkins, following her instructions, they will have the same result as I have. I cannot praise Mrs. Perkins' treatment enough. Try them. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 19, 1909. Dear Mrs. Perkins: Your letter at hand, and I am very glad to hear from you. My hair is doing fine, I must say. I am greatly pleased with it. It seems to draw many people's attention very much, and I am doing all I can for you by telling them of your wonderful treatment. I am following your instructions in every way. I do not let anything come between me and my hair that is to care for it as ou have instructed me. I wish you much success in your work. MRS. DENZIE BRADLY, Dear Madam: I am, indeed, sorry I can't hear from you. This is the second time I have written you and the last I heard of you you were going west, but tl am indeed proud to say that my hair is doing fine under your treatment. I would never regret anything for the way it is growing and I intend to use your treatment as long as I can keep in touch with you. Hoping an early reply, I remain as ever, yours, Dear Madam: I now write you what your wonderful hair remedy has done for me. My hair had been falling out for over a year, it came out in spots larger than a dollar. Blackheads and pimples came in the bald spots and my scalp looked like it had been scalded. After using your treatment three months the scalp became looking better and the blackheads and pimples disappeared. New hair came in, and after using your remedy six months my hair was all in again. I also had the worst case of dandruff. Your shampoo and scalp treatment have cured me all the time. I will praise your remedy half enough, and advise all others to try them as I have, and they will find good results if they follow full instructions. I am, yours truly. My Dear Madam: I really feel ashamed to put off writing you so long, but I am kept so very busy all the time. I have an invalid to care for, so I neglected to write you, however I received my goods all right and am more than delighted with the results. My hair looks like a new suite of hair altogether. I have had many of my friends to ask me what I was doing for my hair, it was looking so much better. I am perfectly willing that you should use my name in any way you wish if it will be of use to you, a sl wish every woman and girl know of your wonderful treatment. I shall send in for another supply as soon as I need it. Wishing you much success, I will close wishing you a merry Christmas and obtain the glory. I trust you will live long for you are doing a noble work for our women. Dear Madam: I am writing to let you know how nicely my hair is growing. It looks like another head. I am so proud of my hair I hardly know just how to thank you. When I looked over the list of more than five hundred people that take your treatment, and you say that is only half, I was proud to find my name among the many. I will always use your treatment, and I am sure on will get many more customers among my friends, as they have said they would write you real soon relative to your treatment. I wish you all the success. PEARL DAVIS.
