On leaving the metropolis of Iowa on Wednesday for southwestern Iowa our first stop was in Creston, the county seat of fifty colored people, the most of them doing well. C. F. Burnaugh is perhaps one of the oldest settlers here and one of the longest in point of service as porter for the Summit hotel, where he has been for nearly thirty years. He is well fixed. His daughter, May, is married and lives in Chicago. I suppose Mr. Burnaugh knows every traveling man in southern Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are other old citizens highly respected. He is the man who made a miniature Noah's ark out of wood and traveled with it on a wagon for many years. Mr. G. W. Dow is well and doing nicely. He is employed at the Summit hotel. He owns a nice truck garden of several acres in the city. I forgot to mention Mr. Martin's valuable lots, covered with the best of fruit. Also he has lots of early vegetables. We made a brief visit to the Baldwin brothers' farm just two miles east of Creston, and I must say it it was astonishing to me to find these brothers farming on such a large farm, the first of a century farm, but I have seen any coloried farm in that is operating such a large farm in levely 500 acres of as pretty and laying land as you ever looked at. They have 110 acres of corn in, 120 head of hogs, more than 1,000 head of hogs, their horses are five the most that the country affords, Norman and Percheron, weighing from 1,400 to 1,800 pounds. They have cow barns, hog barns, implement barns and now have about 5,000 bushels of old corn to 'feed their steers. This mammoth farm has been run by Sherman Elrey and Charley Baldwin, who live with their aged mother, who is a widow, Sherman, who was the head of this enterprise, was the young man who recently died last month, and it is said that so highly respected 'was he that his funeral was the largest farm funeral ever held in Union county, over one mile long. These brothers ship their own hogs and cattle and horses direct to Chicago and would race leaders who claim to know how to solve the race problem could visit these boys' farm. They were born and raised here and have run this farm for eight years. They have many thousands of dollars invested here. These two living brothers are yet single, a great chance for our good girls. Gravity was our next stop. Here lives just two colored families, W. H. and R. H. Johnson, brothers. Each owns eighty acres of land adjoining the town. W. H. is rural mail carrier. His wife is his assistant, while his only son, Fred, is also a rural mail carrier. They manage to farm their land at odd hours. His industrious wife and daughter, Mabel, have nearly 400 young chickens, perhaps more before this letter reaches my readers. R. H. and son run the first class barber shop and they also farm their eighty acres. They also own valuable town property. Their daughter graduated last year from the Bedford high school. Clarinda was our next step. Here is located one of our large state asylums. We find about 200 colored people here, with two churches, the A. M. E. and the Baptist. The former is pastored by Rev. N. R. Morgan, a veteran in the ministry, and a fine Christian gentleman. Mr. J. Jones is still working at the same place, doing well. Ed Pemberton is also doing well. They own their homes. H. H. Cook is still running the grocery store. His wife is assisting him. They are nice people, highly respected. Allen Jones is still working in the blacksmithing. He owns a beautiful home and they have been raising the house, remodeling it modern. They have a fine bunch of young chickens. His brother, Fred, is working here. He is keeping house for his mother, who has moved in from their old homestead, two miles from town. Wm. Heady is still working for the ice company, driving work for the ice company, a representative race man. Mrs. Lu Nash has lost one of her young sons, who died a few weeks ago. L. W. Williams is still running the restaurant and rooming house. He is the district of Pythias of Iowa. Rev. R. T. Lane is here. He is the supply minister to the A. M. E. denomination for this section of Iowa. Mr. Carl Loney is cook at the Washington hotel. Mr. E. Cook is still in the carpet cleaning business, doing well. He owns a beautiful home. L. F. Montgomery is still hauling for the city. He owns valuable property and is doing well. He is highly respected. Mr. Noah Pemberton is one of the four mail carriers in Clarinda, who is colored. He has been on the force for five or six years. Mr. Farrier is still running his paint shop. He paints wagons, buggies, automobiles, etc. He is quite an artist and the only one that we know who runs his own shop in town. Mr. T. Gibson is in business here. He is a veterinarian doctor and has been in business here for many years. There are several colored farmers around here and they are doing well, the Casen's and Stewarts, etc. In Shenandoah we found four families. Mr. R. P. Caldwell is still working at the hotel, doing nicely. His wife is sick. Mr. R. L. Collins is still employed at the postoffice as custodian. He owns a beautiful home and has three boys in the high school. One of them, Eugene, graduated this spring. He was the first colored boy to graduate from the Shenandoah high school. He is well liked. Robt. and George are still in high school. Mr. Griggsy owns a nice home. He is the oldest colored man here. Red Oak was our next step. Here lives about fifty colored people. They have a Union Mission church here of no denomination. Ministers of any denomination may preach. Wm. Hampton and wife, the federal court bailiff for Judge McPherson, lives here, doing well. David Garver is a hustler. He owns several lots and gardens them. He is highly respected. C. W. Chappell is working at the hotel. He owns a good home. Oscar Connor is still in the barber business. P. S. Everheart is still running his nice music and piano store. He is a busy man and has been in business for more than twenty years. James Fisher, T. Pemberton and T. G. Jones are all hard work working men with family, doing well. Mr. H. S. Martin is still here working in the shop Roy Balance is also a good young man, doing well. We will next begin with the tornado stricken district of Omaha and Council Bluffs. KEOKUK NEWS In our last issue we failed to record the death of Mr. Ollie Brown, which occurred two weeks ago. Deceased had been ill with tuberculosis for several months. He was just entering manhood and it is quite sad indeed for relatives and friends to part with the loss of one whose ever ambition pointed toward the height of success. All that tender care and loving hands could do by his parents was done, but to no avail. We must submit to the will of Him who doeth wrong. We must be a member of Pilgrim's Rest Baptist church, from which church the funeral was held, conducted by the pastor in charge, Rev. J. H. Heltm. Burial was in Hamilton cemetery. Another death which occurred last Thursday morning was that of Mrs. Virginia Battles. She was a good Christian woman, a member of Pilgrim's Rest Baptist church and loved by all who knew her as a loving wife and mother. She was very devoted. The family moved here from Mississippi about two years ago. She is survived by her aged mother, Mrs. Wilson, one brother and sister, her husband and several small children and a host of friends, to whom profound sympathy is extended in their sad hours of bereavement. Mr. Wm. Frye and daughter, Katherine Eveline, are visiting friends at Shelbyville, Shelbina, North River and other Missouri points. Mrs. Lewis Lowe entertained at her home last Thursday evening in honor of Mrs. Maud Wilkerson and Mrs. C. B. Woods of Des Moines and some time was had by all. Delicious memories were served. The guests departed at a late hour. Another social function was attended Mrs. Maud Wilkerson and Mrs. C. B. Woods of Des Moines and Mrs. Peter King of Burlington and Rev. W. A. Searcy of Monmouth last Thursday. It was a 1 o'clock lunch at the home of officer and Mrs. A. J. Fields. A very elaborate course luncheon was served. Mrs. Annie Alden, assistant superintendent of Bethel A. M. E. Sunday school, entertained her Sunday school class at a picnic in Rand park last Monday afternoon. Mrs. Beatrice Benttle, assistant superintendent of Beltram, of Fulton, Mo, who are visiting Mrs. Alden, were guests of honor. BUXTON BRIEF& The Progressive Woman's Club held a very pleasant session with Mrs. Lucy Walker at No. 10 Junction last Thursday, and listened to a very interesting report of the recent State Federation meeting at Davenport by Mrs. E. F. Jones, the president, who represented them in the Federation. After the meeting the hostess served a dainty repast. Can't Keep It Secret.

CENTERVILLE IOWA The Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor, Maids and Pages of Honor celebrated their annual sermon on June 15th at 2:30 at the Second Baptist church. All met at their half and at 2 o'clock marched to the church for their sermon, headed by Centerville's famous band, followed by the Knights, Daughters, Maids and Pages of Dgt. Mattie Brooks, D. G. H. P. of the state of Iowa and vice H. D. of the world, was in Centerville and as sisted in the ceremonial exercises of the International Order of Twelve and made a rousing talk on scope and extent of Tabor, for which she received high compliments from Rev. J. W. Evans and others as being the first lady Baptist preacher of the state of Iowa, and from her talk and explanation of the order we have received several applications for membership. The program was carried out to the letter as was printed, after which Rev. J. W. White of Des Moines then preached a soul-stirring sermon on the work of Tabor, and for one so young in the order it could not be beat. The choir, assisted by Prof. C. C. Taylor, rendered some excellent music. All marched back to the hall and from there went to the home of Dgt. Shelly Noah, H. D., who served refreshments on her lawn, and from there all returned to evening service at the church and listened to a very interesting sermon by J. W. Evans. Monday evening, June 16th, the Daughters of Tabernacle gave a reception at the home of Dgt. Emmia Martin in honor of D. G. H. P. of Dgt. Mattie Brooks of Des Moines, also Dgt. Addie Tarwater of Kansas City, Mo., who was in the city visiting her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Morton. A four-course luncheon was served, after which the Daughters of Tabernacle presented Dgt. Brooks with a token of remembrance for her excellent work while with us. Dgt. Brooks was entertained at dinner Tuesday noon, June 17th, at the home of Dgt. Sarah Price. Covers were laid for eight. All who know Aunt Sarah knows things were served in style and right up to date. After noon a short time was spent with the family looking around her beautiful home and from there was taken in an auto to the home of Mrs. Bernice Bordiered for a cork clock. Covers were laid for fourteen ladies. After luncheon Mrs. Richmond presented Dgt. Brooks with a small token of remembrance, a hand-embroidered dolie and several souvenir post card: of Centerville. All departed about 6:30, reporting a well spent day and an excellent time. Dgt. Brooks will leave today, June 18th, for Clarinda, Iowa, at 12:30 o'clock. Shelby Noah, H. P. A. L. Crittenden, P. R.

The following announcement has been received by relatives and friends here: "Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Morris announce the marriage of Miss Lucy Lindsay and Mr. Daniel McKee Jackson on Wednesday, the eleventh of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, Jessamine Farm, Benton Harbor, Mich." Miss Lindsay was a native of Washington and is a sister of F. D. Motts here and the late Robt. T. Motts of Chicago. The groom is a fine man, an undertaker in the business world, and is to be congratulated on his selection for his life partner. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Morris offer congratulations. The happy couple will be at home after July 16th at 3242 Calumet avenue, Chicago. Miss Ruth Black reports having a fine time at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Will Jeffers, at Oskaloosa. Miss Iota Phillips and Helen Motts visited friends at Cedar Rapids recently.

Mrs. John Taylor of Jacksonville has arrived and is at the home of her brother, Mr. Horace Spencer. CHURCHES AND TEMPERANCE Cedar Rapids Republican—The trouble with church and temperance effort is that they do not reach such boys as go wrong. Such boys selludom come under such influences. Some of them have probably never seen the inside of any church or Sunday school. The saving of some boys is a hard problem. It will be best for none of us to blame our neighbors, whether they are parents or guardians or moral instructors to the boys. Nor is it due to liquors alone. Some boys go wrong who never taste of liquors. We knew of one who never took a drop of liquor, he was so intent on being dishonest and stealing. That man had a hobby of depriving others after bad women and still others after cocaine and other drugs. Our appeals to them, our prayers for them and our calling to the police does not help them. They still go wrong. Our understanding of such matters is still primitive. Some day we may understand such problems better. It may be that these young men are merely diseased. It may be a disease of the understanding or of the will of the nervous forces in the human body. Some day we may be able to minister to them for these diseases. Our present way of dealing with boys and men who go wrong in these ways is still brutal. We arrest them, we throw them in "hum" cells, where they deteriorate more rapidly than in the gutter. We take away even the shades of self-respect in them. We fine them so much and send them, in default of payment, to another jail where we use them first. And do this over and over and over until the poor wretches are worn out and then we bury them in the potter's field. We must confess our methods are bad and they are bad because we do not understand their diseases. But there is no use in us blaming each other for their shortcomings and for the faults and their misdings. All of us would do the best we could by them. 'WHISKY POWDER' IN EVIDENCE Wichita, Kan.-Western Kansas is up against a proposition of how to do away with the whisky powders. This section of the state is being flooded with little brown powders, which, mixed with a pint of water, and a dash of alcohol, make a drink which it is almost impossible to distinguish from regular whisky. Investigating this new way of evading the law for some time. Only a short time ago he secured a quantity of powder, mixed one up with some water and a small quantity of alcohol, and the result was a brand of whisky that could not be detected from the bonded stuff. The trouble with stopping this kind of whisky making is that it is so easy to secure the powder. For two dollars a small box of powder, the amount will make several gallons of whisky. Chief Kensler has always contended that the bulk of whisky sold here by the bootleggers has been made by them and not shipped in, but it is only recently that he has secured evidence to bear out his theory. There is no doubt that a large quantity of these powders are being shipped into this state, and if the habit gets prevalent it will practically nullify the law. Kensler has already practically failed in enforcing its prohibition law and with this new menace what little enforcement there has been accomplished is likely to be nullified. "DRY." BUT NOT DRY. Sioux City Journal—Waterloo is to stay dry until further notice. "Dry" In this relation does not mean that no intoxicating liquor will be sold or consumed in Waterloo. When a city of 30,000, including a large factory population, is made dry by the courts after a majority of the voters have petitioned for saloons it would be a little unreasonable to expect an ideal example of the feasibility of a policy that is difficult to enforce under the most favorable conditions.

This didcovery has just been made by officials of the Dureau, who have found that large quantities of the radum-bearing. ores fare being shipped abroad through the foresight of foreign scientists. Al though tho bureau of mines has ascer tained that the United States has the realest known supply of radium-bear ing ores, not one bit has been pro duced here. It Is the intention of the bureau of mines, in view of these facts, to encourage the development of this industry, the product of which ts valued at approxiinately $2,250,000 an ounce. “The United States today is in the humiliating position of being forced to purchase at extravagant prices trom Abroad such radium as its hospitals ‘and physicians can afford for exper! mental purposes, while we have been supplying the ores trom which It is made,” sald Charles L. Parsons, chiet of the division of mineral technology of the bureau. “Several months ago rumors reached the buraed of mines that in Colorado there had been an increased demand for carnotite, the radium-carrying ore, ‘and that this ore was being shipped ‘abroad in considerable quantity. It was also reported that the Europeans “were insisting upon only the bighest ‘grades of these ores, and that a great Amount of lower grade ores was prac: tleally being wasted. "RB, Moore and K.L. Kithil, tn charge of the Denver (Col.) laboratory, investigated these rumors and found ‘that, while all the radium placed upon the market in the last few years had ‘been produced in Europe, a large por- [ton of this had come from American ores. |, The Austrian government, reaitzng the untold possfbilities of the radium ‘ores at Bt, Joachimtshal, purchased the mines. On the other hand, the United States has allowed her much greater resources to be explolted by foreigners on a basis which wastes perhaps irretrlevably a large portion of the ores mined, and has exported carefully selected ores at a price by no pieans commensurate with its radium value. “The diacsvery of radium basal: ready changed our {deas regarding tho constitution of matter, and scientific investigation will undoubtedly lead to valuable results which we cannot now even foresee. It is the purpose of the Dureau of mines to encourage the de velopment of a radium industry in the United States.” SAVINGS SYSTEM TRANGFERRED. Postmaster General Burleson has signed on order transferring the pos- tu! savings system to the bureau of the third assistant postmaster gener al. The order became effective on May 1, 1913. Sinco the creation of the postal savings eystom on January 1, 1911, {t bas been conducted ae a sep- arate and distinct bureau under the direction of the postmaster general. The transfer of tho system fs deemed advisable by tho postmaster general, since all other financial functions of the postal service are segregated in the bureau of the third assistant post- master general. At the present time the pontal savings system Is operating tn approximately 18,000 post offices, ‘and the amount on deposit aggregates $25,000,000, exclusive of $2,600,0U0 which hae’been converted into postal savings system bonds. In the central office at Washington there are 188 em: ployes, including the director, assist fant director and four other supervie ory officers. Tho appropriation for carrying on the business of the sys tem for 1912 amounted to $500,000, ‘and the appropriation, for 1913 1s $400,000 and the unexpended amount of the 1912 appropriation. In addition to these appropriations there 1s an ‘appropriation of $229,960 for clerk ire and $105,500 for supplies and miscellaneous expenses for 1914.

Many less conspicuous songsters do the same. The little English redbreast, who Is the true robin, has been heard singing the brilliant song of the thrush, ‘The English blackbird, one of the finest feathered choristers, has on “two or three occasions been | caught ‘imitating the cheery call of chantl- cleer. An English skylark bas bor rowed the homely little song of the chaffinch, and converted it into soaring skylark rhythms. But quite apart from this random borrowing, whlch, how: ever, shows the perfection of ear, and of the faculty of mimfcry, there ia the regular study and practice by which young birds learn thelr own proper tongs, as well as thelr call notes, their ‘ight songs and the whole repertory of bird music. Certain birds have been heard giving regular singing lessons to thelr nestlings. Ovenbords, the little brown, gold-crested ground warblers which’ our woods during May and June with thelr excited call: “Teacher! teacher! teacher! teacher!” give thelr little ones systematic singing lessons, while the youngsters are still In the brown, Dutch-oven shaped nest on the ground, that has gained the birds their name. : Firat the father and mother bird sing a duet; then the little ones try to imitate It; the parents go over It again, and the youngsters try it again, After'a while the dinner. question presses and the elders go off to hut for grubs and caterpillars. While they fare away the young ones practice thelr singing lesson, going over it again and again, and then singing it once more after their parents on their return. English naturalists have noted very sfinllar lessons given in the month of ‘August by the familiar and attractive yellow bunting, so abundant in the hedge rows and so popular a person- age In folklore. The song of the “yel- lowhammer" bas for generations been rendered thus: “A little bit of bread ‘and no cheese!” Then the young yel- lowhammer trles to copy it, baltingly at first, and perhaps gets as far as “A Meele—bit of bread—and no—" and then stops, not remembering, or not feeling equal to, the cheese. ‘The par- ent sings again, and the youngster ‘again repeats, still In a weak and un- certain way; but as August merges Into September, and the haws swell ‘on the doughs, the young one’s song grows stronger and more assured, till at Inst he graduates with the full mel- ody. But not all young birds get such regular lessons. Many try the songs themselves, after, listening to thelr fond fathers, and queer, stumbling at- tempts they make at firat, very much lke the efforts of children learning to talk, Imitation, therefore, counts for much, Thus the eggs of the English common lnnet have been taken from the nest, and placed under brooding ekylarks, wood larks and titlarke; and fm euch ease the young lnnets have Tearned the song of-thelr foster par ‘ents, But Imitation {s not everything. Quite apart from singing lessons and mim{ory, cong seems to be as natural for birds as the true baby talk is for children who only begin consciously to imitate their parents after many ‘months of “goo-goo"-ing and “ba-ba- ba'ing on their own accounts. ‘The European cuckoo, for example, 1s no- torlous for laying her eggs in other birds’ nests, generally those of the quiet litle hedge sparrow, just as the American cowbird lays hers in the neat of the wpod-warblers. Yet young cuckoos learn to call, though they never know their parents, and there is no record of thelr ever repeating the song of thelr involuntary foster par ents, the hedge sparrows. ‘Work for Robert.

AS THE COIN SPUN isa HO me: lk ee ee home.” Jack Raymond fipped a coin care: easly, in spite of his desire to alt in the Cole parlor and talk with Grace instead of going out with her to make calls. The 26-cent plece spun for w ‘moment, and then settled down with “heads” the winner. There was no help for it; he reached for his hat, ‘and the two of thom started on thelr walk in apparent good humor. Grace, however, noticed the half-concealed isappointment In bis face, and with fa spirit of daring, sald: “Let's not go to Margaret's after all, unless the coin takes up directly there, You fiip it at every street cor ner for the next half hour, and we'll follow {ts direction, Whenever ‘heads* turna up, we'll walk towards her house, ‘whon ‘taile’ somes up, then we'll turn to the right and seo where we land.” Tt was a sporting proposition, and Jack selzed It heartily. ‘The rat tossing of tho quarter sent them straight ahead; iikewise the sec- ond. Then came a lucky turning to the right. Jack, warming up to the situa- tion, suggested that for the rest of the UUme they take note of the buildings ‘whlch stood at each corner where they would have to stop. The turning points ought to have, he thought, some significance in themselves since fate was now In full control of things. His ‘amendment added to the gambling tn- terest of their scheme, and they fok lowed it in high spirits, It ts barely possible Jack knew that the first cor er ahead was occupied by a Jeweler's shop. There he stopped and an- nounced: “One minute here for appropriate conversation.” Ho drew Graco to the show window where was displayed a brilliant as- sortment of diamonds, “There,” he exclalmed, “reposes my faeal of ‘an engagement ring. How do you like it?" ‘The young lady assumed a very Sm- personal air, and in judicial tones re- plied: “It fe a beautiful ring. AB to {ts being {deal for an engagement ring, that depends upon various considera tions. First, there must be two peo- ple deeply in love with each other; secondly, there must bo an engage- ment; thirdly, there must be enougs money in the young man’s purse to warrant the purchase of #0 fine « dla- mond; fourthly—" “That will do," interrupted Jack. “The minute ts over. You have any swered very wisely.” ‘The resumed thelr walk, straining thelr eyes to seo what the next corner was going to furnish, Only a modest dwelling house revealed itself, As they stopped in front of it, Jack read from the door plate: "Reverend Cecil Har- grave, D. D.” There was trimuph in his voice as he exclaimed: “Oh, indeed! Chance 1s very logical. ‘The engagement ring, then the clergy- man! And what an Imposing name for a newspaper announcement! Wouldn't {t read fine?—'Mavried ’ at high noon today, by the Reverend Cecil Hargrave, Miss Grace Cole, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Richard T. Cole, to John—" Grace laid a restraining hand on the young man's lips. The minute was up and they moved on. The next stop was In front of a fine new apartment house, almost ready for occupancy. Over one of the porches a big “For Rent” sign flaunted itself. This was too much for Grace's self-possession. She trled to hurry past the place without honoring the minute for con- versation. But the young man selzed her by the arm and made her listen, while he elaborately interpreted tate's dealings with them. She put her hands over her ears. As he drow them down, his tone dropped to serl- ous tenderness, “Grace, dear, won't you ever let mo tell you that T love you; that 1 want you for my wite?” ‘Sho lifted her teasing eyes to his in attempted raillery, but the look In his face forbade it. ‘They forgot to fiip another coln, and the half hour was ‘gone, Bees In Cities, ‘There {s not a elty in America with- out its bees, to say nothing of the towns.
